The time has come, and most of the guests have already come to the main hall of Cining Palace.

Among the many courtiers, Liu Piaoyi saw a figure that had not been seen for many months - Mo Changli.

He also came, and he didn't see him when he came from Yunnan, so he suddenly appeared at the birthday banquet of the queen mother of the palace, Liu Piaoyi didn't expect it.

Mo Changli threw a smile at her, didn't come over, just greeted with a smile, and she responded with a smile.

She knew that Jian Xiu must have known it a long time ago, otherwise Mo Changli would have cast his eyes at this time, and there was nothing unusual in Jian Xiu's expression, as if she hadn't seen it.

Everyone sat down one after another, and suddenly heard the rumor outside: "The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, and the concubine has arrived ......" Several concubines in the harem almost entered the hall with the emperor.

Hundreds of officials celebrate their birthdays, and the scene should not be underestimated, but the smile on Empress Dowager Li's face is still faint and shallow. Everyone offered birthday gifts in turn, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

At the beginning of the ball, the palace dancer entered, and the leader of the dance was Zhang Momo, dressed in a dusty neon dress and feather robe, which was extremely beautiful and charming. Dance to the sound of music.

Zhang Momo's dance surprised everyone, but what was even more surprising was that Emperor Zhu Yijun also wore a colorful dress to dance with Zhang Momo. At a glance, the dancing girls accompanied the emperor behind him, dancing beautifully.

The birthday officials and ladies in the hall all stared at the audience in shock, sighing that the emperor personally went into battle to dance for the birthday of the Empress Dowager Li. Of course, it was the Queen Mother who looked happy, as if there was nothing wrong with the emperor's actions.

But everyone didn't know that the emperor was not only to make the Empress Dowager Li happy, but also to praise Zhang Momo to get the Empress Dowager's reward. Everyone can see that the emperor is interested in Zhang Momo. Even Mo Changli was surprised, holding the wine glass in his hand and looking at the emperor from time to time. But he didn't care about the emperor's eyes that looked at Zhang Momo intentionally or unintentionally, as if he didn't have much to do with Zhang Momo.

Maybe Zhang Momo also saw Mo Changli, who was dancing with a smile, but suddenly frowned, looking a little uneasy.

At the table, Jian Xiu whispered to Liu Piao, "This dance banquet is all arranged by the emperor, and Zhang Momo's dance is also the emperor's holy order." ”

has been looking at Zhang Momo's figure in the field, Liu Piaoyu also noticed the strangeness in her expression, and her movements almost made a mistake in a trance, but fortunately, she reacted in time.

Zhang Momo's gaze at Mo Changli from time to time made Liu Piaoyi understand a little, and he smiled in his heart. Unexpectedly, the relationship between Mo Changli and Zhang Momo is not ordinary, and it should be accompanied by a trace of ambiguity.

It's just that when she looked at Mo Changli's expression, she saw Zhang Momo's gaze, and Mo Changli pretended not to know.

Men have a heart for rejection.

Liu Piaoyi glanced at Concubine Zheng Guifei's seat again, and saw that Concubine Zheng's face was not very good, obviously full of jealousy. But the queen on the queen's seat was indifferent and idle, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Obviously, the queen didn't care too much about the emperor liking other women. But although he didn't care about his face, the hidden thoughts in his heart were not necessarily so.

Liu Piaoyi smiled indifferently in her heart, the women's city of this harem is also quite deep, and the queen may just not show it in front of her.

When the Emperor returned to his place after the dance, his scrutinizing gaze flickered over Liu Piao's face, ignoring the gazes of others. But in front of everyone, the emperor was not good, just buried his head in a few drinks.

Liu Piaoyi didn't just look at anything, but looked at everyone intentionally or unintentionally, when he looked at the emperor, Zhu Yijun was looking over, his eyes were as blurry and modest as the moonlight, he turned his eyes and smiled, as if he was greeting her through the air. She knows very well what the emperor's heart is, and she wants to get one when she sees a woman. Also, since ancient times, emperors have not all been romantic.

At this time, the concubine of the official secretary was playing a beautiful song in the temple to accompany the people to drink.

After the singing and dancing leveled down, halfway through the banquet, Empress Dowager Li was a little tired and wanted to go out for a walk.

Empress Dowager Li looked at Feng Siying and said, "Girl, the mourning family hasn't seen you for a long time, how about walking with the mourning family." Feng Siying naturally couldn't refuse, so she followed the Queen Mother out of the main hall of Cining Palace.

Everyone sent off the Queen Mother, and Liu Piaoyi knelt on the ground with him and waited for the Queen Mother to walk before raising his eyes to look, but he glanced at Feng Siying, who had just looked back.

Not long after, the emperor was nowhere to be seen.

Empress Wang, Concubine Zheng Guifei also followed out of the main hall after the queen mother and the emperor left the palace, obviously not interesting in the palace. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor all went out, and what did they still stay, they all left the main hall one after the other.

Liu Piaoyi was absent-mindedly looking at the hall from time to time, and when she looked sideways, she saw that Jian Xiu's delicate facial features seemed to be a little miserable, and even the neckline showed a straight and slender neck, which was handsome. It's just that he always looks down at her, which makes her feel a hint of exploration in his eyes.

Catching his gaze, Liu Piao smiled busily, hiding his absent-mindedness.

"Eat something."

Jian Xiu personally took a piece of pastry and brought it to her mouth, trying to calm her mind. lest she get too nervous. She was nervous, he could tell.

Perhaps he found out, Liu Piaoyi smiled stunned. Caught the pastry with his mouth and ate it.

In the whole scene where Empress Dowager Li was there just now, he was indifferent, just casually sipping his wine. It's like you're going to get drunk. But as soon as these masters in the palace left, Jian Xiu stopped drinking, but kept staring at Liu Piaoyi.

Also, the Queen Mother's birthday, everyone is happy, who is not drinking? But why did he stop drinking? Liu Piaoyi didn't think much about it.

But even under Jian Xiu's constant gaze, Liu Piaoyi still looked around the hall, and the courtiers were talking to each other, toasting and chatting with each other. Her gaze stayed on Ling Yunyi's body, looking at the man, her eyes flashed, and her gaze sank instantly.

But she didn't know that Zhang Chifeng was subconsciously looking at her in the seat, under the man's long and slightly curled eyelashes, his sharp eyes were like a black eagle in the dark night, looking straight at Liu Piaoyi.

Perhaps sensing a strange gaze, Liu Piaoyi looked towards that look when he retracted his gaze, and the moment he met Zhang Chifeng's gaze, he immediately glanced at his eyes and pretended not to look at her. But Liu Piaomei clearly felt the exploration in the man's gaze.

Did he find something or something else, why should he look at himself like that?! Liu Piaoyi was faintly puzzled, and unconsciously touched the wine glass to his lips with the wine glass in his hand, and was about to drink the glass of wine, but asked Jian Xiu to hold it down, "Remember, drink less." ”

Liu Piaoyi came to her senses at this time, and she didn't even notice it when she drank subconsciously, and smiled calmly, "Drink a little, it's okay, today's Queen Mother's birthday, how can I have a drink, no." ”

It's just that the little uneasiness buried deep in his eyes made Jian Xiu catch it. What is she nervous about? Maybe he's guessed.

Seeing what she wanted, Jian Xiu smiled, "I'll go have a drink with those adults, Yi'er, you sit down." ”

The corners of Liu Piao's mouth rose, and he responded to Jian Xiu, "Okay." Apparently she didn't want him to be around and watching her all the time.

When Jian Xiu got up and walked over there, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ji'er's left hand pressed on his waist, clenching it tightly, planning something.

It wasn't until she saw Ji'er pour a glass of wine again and walk towards Ling Yunyi with the wine glass that Jian Xiu seemed to know her intentions in her heart.

Liu Piaoyi smiled respectfully and softly at Ling Yunyi, and in front of Mrs. Ling, she subconsciously placed the wine glass in her hand on Ling Yunyi's table with a junior blessing.

Maybe it was Liu Piaoyi who suddenly came to greet him, Ling Yunyi didn't notice the wine glass she put down subconsciously, but was fascinated in his heart, the Yikai he sent couldn't even kill a woman and was distracted.

The speculative strangeness in Ling Yunyi's eyes made Liu Piaoyi's eyes flicker slightly, and he also guessed his thoughts.

Liu Piaoyi pretended that he didn't know anything, and with a soft smile, he picked up the wine glass from the table again and handed it to Ling Yunyi, and then picked up the wine glass himself again and toasted him and his wife.

"I have disturbed adults and ladies in many places in Luoding Prefecture, and I am here to thank the two elders for their love."

How could Mrs. Ling not understand that when Liu Xianfu was still the governor of Luoding Prefecture, Liu Piaoyi and her Ling Xinan were stuck together for three days, and they often went to her house to play. At that time, Mrs. Ling was quite satisfied with her.

Liu Piaoyi drank the wine first, and Ling Yunyi couldn't refuse her, so he drank the wine. It's just that after he drank the glass of wine, Gong E, who was waiting in the hall on the side, poured a glass for the two of them again, Ling Yunyi picked up the cup again, and said, "Miss Liu is doing well now, the old man is also comforted, and Brother Liu should also be comforted under the spring, this cup of old man wishes Miss Liu a happy and long life." ”

On the surface, how can Liu Piaoyi not know, but he still pretends to be very moved in his heart. I wanted to greet Ling Yunyi's glass of wine again.

Jian Xiu took all her movements in his eyes, and after learning her purpose, he immediately stepped forward to relieve her.

"Lord Ling, my lady's alcohol consumption is not good, a glass is enough, forgive me. This cup should be honored by your little nephew. He took the wine glass from Liu Piaoyi's hand.

Jian Xiu didn't want to waste any more time, so that in front of Ling Yunyi, she immediately brought Liu Piaoyi back to her seat. However, on the way of these twenty or so steps, a palace lady who was waiting in the main hall deliberately touched Liu Piaoyi's body.

Jian Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at the palace maid's hand, and only relieved when he saw that everything was in order.

On the birthday banquet, Zhang Momo danced down, changed her clothes, sat down and drank a few glasses of wine, and kept looking at Mo Changli, but when she saw Mo Changli, she got up and walked outside the Cining Palace.

Zhang Momo couldn't sit still, so she immediately got up and went out, but as soon as she got out of Cining Palace, she didn't see Mo Changli, so she strolled to find it.

was standing in the silent garden, and suddenly a person appeared in front of him, and Zhang Momo hadn't seen who it was. The man pressed her against the wall of the oleander, and she was drowsy and wanted to beat him, but he suppressed him so hard that she had to pounce on him and bite his lip fiercely......

Zhang Momo didn't see the man's face clearly, only smelled the good smell of ambergris on the man's body, his voice was quick and soft, low and sexy, he said: "You bit my tongue, what crime should you be guilty of offending me so much?" ”

Zhang Momo panicked, stood up in a hurry, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's the courtier's fault, the courtiers don't know it's the emperor, but the emperor, how can you treat the courtiers like this?!" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Momo in surprise, shouldn't her first reaction be happy, how could she still look aggrieved.

The emperor touched his chin and smiled weirdly, "Miss Momo, I have been thinking about it for a long time on the street that day, why don't you enter the palace as my concubine?" ”

Zhang Momo shrank - a trembling voice to convince her, "The emperor thinks twice, the courtier is just a woman without a father, how can she enter the palace as a concubine with this identity now." ”

She still has the love for Mo Changli, the prince of Yunnan, in her heart, and she has not forgotten how easily she accepted the matter of entering the palace as a concubine. She had never thought of it that way.

The emperor held her chin with his hand, admired her face, and sighed, "Compared to Liu Piaoyi, you are a little inferior, but you are also a beautiful beauty in this capital, I like it very much." ”
