He Xi turned his head to look at Tuoba Chen's side face, the pale golden halo was plated on his face, glowing with a little golden yellow, He Xi suddenly laughed, Tuoba Chen looked back at her in confusion, and said, "Why did you suddenly laugh?" ”

He Xi stared at him seriously and said, "The concubine just thinks that everything seems to be settled in the end, Your Majesty, the concubine is happy-"

There was a faint hint of happiness in her eyes, a hint of pleasure that Tuoba Chen couldn't understand, he seemed to be a little unable to accept He Xi's cold gaze, but with a long arm, he pulled He Xi a little closer, and then said: "It's good if you are happy, I am still worried-okay, too-"

He Xi obediently snuggled into Tuoba Chen's arms and slowly closed his eyes.

Three days later, Concubine De's birthday, because of the identity of Princess Concubine De Xiliang, is naturally infinitely glorious, He Xi saw Ning Yi at the birthday banquet, the two looked at each other, Ning Yi looked at the surprised gaze of the first He Xi, and his heart became more and more proud.

He brought a delicate and beautiful woman with her, dressed in a goose-yellow palace dress, with long hair scattered over her shoulders, and a delicate ring band woven with rabbit down on the top of her hair, decorated with some small silver leaves, some hidden in her hair, making people feel pretty and lovely, her face was a little pale, but a bit like a snow lotus on the top of a snow-capped mountain, trembling and lovable.

She turned her head to look at Ning Yi beside her, and said curiously, "What is the second brother looking at?" ”

Ning Yi turned his head and saw her eyes full of curiosity and innocence, his eyes were full of doting, he scratched her small and delicate nose and said, "How many times have you said it, call my name, what kind of system do you call your second brother?" Jiang Li'er's face turned red, and she half held his arm and said, "The second brother told Li'er that Li'er is curious-"

Ning Yi was also very helpless when he saw her like this, so he muttered in the direction of He Xi: "It's just an old man-"

Jiang Lian'er looked at it carefully and said, "What the second brother said was that sister with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows?" She's so good-looking—"

There was envy and yearning in her words, Ning Yi looked at her, there was a faint pain in his eyes, but it was just right to hide, he whispered: "If you can, you can get close to her, she is a very interesting woman-"

He Xi felt as if someone was looking at him, and when he looked at it, he saw a girl dressed in goose yellow looking at him, and Ning Yi was sitting next to him with a smile.

He Xi nodded politely as a gesture, and the happy Jiang Li'er hurriedly pulled Ning Yi and said, "That fairy sister smiled at me, it's really good-" Then he snapped his fingers again, and said with some envy: "If only Li'er was half as good-looking as the fairy sister-"

She obviously looked like a child, Ning Yi took her hand and said seriously: "Although our poor child is not beautiful enough, she is the cutest female doll in the world——"

Jiang Li'er couldn't hide her thoughts, she looked at the concubines who were sitting on the top and had beautiful faces, and sighed and said, "But that sister is beautiful, but it seems to be preoccupied——"

Ning Yi took a sip of the tea in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm afraid we'll tell her little secret." ”

Jiang Li'er was stunned for a moment, and instantly reacted and said, "This is the interesting concubine that the second brother said?" Isn't that a lifesaver for the mercy? ”

Ning Yi nodded and said, "It's just that this king is very curious, she sacrificed her life to save that person, who is it?" ”

Li'er shook her head and said: "The one who can make a woman give up her life must be a very important person, and she is the concubine of the Emperor of the Great Calendar, so this person must be the emperor?" ”

Really? Is it the Emperor? Ning Yi's gaze wandered faintly on her body, and it happened that she was talking to the Jing nobleman beside her, and at this time he found the high bulging abdomen hidden behind the desk.

Just as he was distracted, he heard a eunuch singing and shouting, it was the emperor and the concubine who arrived, and everyone got up and saluted. I saw that Concubine De was wearing a dark red passionflower with a auspicious palace dress, and she was stepping on the embroidered shoes of a hundred sons to celebrate her birthday. Even the engraved patterns on the gold silk mutton fat jade bracelet on the wrist are all immortal pines and cypresses that symbolize auspicious longevity, which are extremely luxurious, and they are really very festive.

And the emperor and the queen accompanied the side of Concubine De, the emperor was wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with a golden dragon, which was no different from the ordinary, but the queen, the red on the ground was the pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the queen was pregnant, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office were very attentive, and put a change in the peony pattern that they were used to on the hem cuffs, but instead used a small dragon pattern, which was obviously a compliment and blessing, but because of the new funeral of the eldest prince, He Xi just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze.

She secretly looked in the direction of Tuoba Yue, but she didn't see Xiao Nai, presumably because her injuries had not healed, so she didn't attend.

Because of Concubine De's birthday, he sat on the main seat, he was divided into left and right with the queen, Liuli carefully helped the queen to sit down, but Lan Xin was not so comfortable, obviously all the matters of this birthday banquet were handled by her hard work, but at this time, it was Lan Ruo who was admired, and it was Lan Ruo who was all watched, so how could she swallow that breath?

Linglong Xu saw the emotions on his mother's face, so he leaned over and whispered while serving tea: "Don't worry, you will hold this birthday banquet wonderfully, those envoys don't know, but the palace and Your Majesty know, this seems to be your loss, if you endure it at this time, Your Majesty will feel that the mother knows the general situation, knows how to advance and retreat, if it happens at this time, then the effort we spent in the past can be invalid." ”

Lan Xin took a sip of the ginseng tea handed over by Linglong, and took a deep breath before saying: "What you said is also right, but Bengong got angry when she looked at her, obviously the month was not as big as Bengong, and she looked cautious all day long, and she didn't know who she was doing it for." ”

Linglong knew that she was going to nag for a while, so she said a few words.

When everyone was seated, everyone got up to congratulate Concubine De on her birthday.

Concubine De nodded with satisfaction, and when she saw Ning Yi again, she was even more happy in her heart, smiling like a happy Lafayette, she slowly spoke: "Although today is the birthday of the mourning family, it is also a big day for the two countries to come to the court.

The envoy of Mobei was dressed on the grassland, and his whole body was full of momentum, and he took a step forward when he heard the words, and laughed loudly: "It is said that the state of etiquette in the Great Calendar, how to have a matter of contempt, your old man is too modest, and Yelu wishes the concubine Niangniang Niang Blessing such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”

He made a Mobei salute, and Concubine De nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Yelu." ”

Then he looked at Xiliang's envoy and said, "The mourning family thought that they would send envoys, but they didn't want you to come." ”

Ning Yi stepped forward and saluted, and said: "This is the meaning of the Queen Mother, the first emperor has passed away, and the Queen Mother misses her aunt very much, so she asked the minister to go in person to show her attention." ”

As soon as Concubine De saw the people of her homeland and knew each other well, she became more and more happy, and said a few words of goodness before letting them sit down.

Fuqing bowed forward and said with a smile: "In order to celebrate the birthday of the concubine, I specially selected Xiliang's singer to sing birthday words and dance birthday dances. ”

Tuoba Chen bowed his head with satisfaction and said, "I have a heart, go and please." ”

Fuqing responded, and immediately clapped his hands twice, and immediately came in from outside the hall A group of singers dressed in Xiliang dance, one by one, wearing tulle and pink clothes, like a cloud of light smoke, floated in, shaking people's eyes.

Xiliang likes drum music, which is different from the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra of the calendar, the drum sound is crisp, the rhythm is cheerful, and there is a faint bold atmosphere. It is very in line with the folk customs of Xiliang, only to hear the singer Youyou sang in unison: "A glass of wine to the longevity of the people, two glasses of wine to the longevity and health of the people, may the people of the people be free of disease and blessed by the gods, and today Lihua Hall will be full of joy." ”

Supplemented by cheerful drumbeats, the entire Taihe Hall looks jubilant.

Jiang Li'er held her cheeks, stared straight at the singing and dancing in the hall with a pair of big black and white eyes, and whispered: "I thought that this time I would comprehend the style of the Great Calendar, but I didn't want to still be the song and dance of Xiliang, it was really boring and tight-"

Ning Yi patted her little head and said with a smile: "You are tired of watching, but this does not mean that your aunt is tired of watching, you see how happy your aunt is-"

Jiang Li'er turned to the direction of the Empress Dowager when she heard this, and saw that she really had a smile on the corner of her mouth, not only that, there seemed to be deep tears flashing in her eyes, that was a kind of attachment and relief, she had been married for nearly thirty years, during which she had never returned to her homeland, as time passed, she even felt that she could not remember the people and things at that time, but now, this familiar song and dance actually brought her whole person closer to the memory, as if it was just her birthday, her father congratulated herself.

Everything is like yesterday, like yesterday.

Her hand beat with the light drum beat, only to see a birthday song sung, those drummers actually lined up all the drums into six columns and six rows, and then a singer actually stepped forward barefoot, every step, there was a crisp rustling sound, fixed eyes, snow-white slender ankles, actually wrapped the same silver leaf, with her every move clear and sound, the eyes of the concubine also flashed a puzzled look, only to see the beauty, the body of the light turned over and jumped on the drum, toe tap the drum surface, made a bang, Immediately after that, she flicked her water sleeve and accurately hit the two drum surfaces, and it also made a crisp sound, and it turned out that the top of the water sleeve was tied with a small hollow gold ball, which was really clever.

With her waist turning slowly, she could dance and play by herself, and everyone who watched was amazed.

The concubine beside He Xi glanced at her mouth and said: "I am a singer and dance in public, I am afraid that others will not know my background as a dancer, and I am still in front of many envoys, which is really embarrassing." ”
