"Mother, wake up."

"Huh? Let me sleep a little longer. Tao Xiaoxiao rolled over and continued to sleep.

"Niangniang, today is your birthday, wake up."

In her dream, she was singing with a handsome guy, and the sound in her ears was buzzing like flies.

"It's not like it's not a big deal." Tao Yaoyao sat up helplessly, and asked in a daze, she had told Qing Yezhuo before that she didn't want to make it so grand, saying that the people of Huicheng had not completely escaped the impact of the disaster, which would make it easy to provoke criticism if a favorite concubine spent too much money on her birthday. In fact, she is just lazy, and thinks that there must be a lot of etiquette and trouble.

"The emperor sent someone in the morning, and he prepared a banquet in the imperial garden, there are no outsiders, only the ladies of the harem." Biyun saw that Tao was not fully awake, and she was helpless.

That's called no outsiders, eh, it's really hard!

"What time is it?" Peach reluctantly got up from the bed.

"Mother, it's noon."

"Well, why is this room still so dark?" She thought it was only early in the morning.

"Niangniang, that's because the emperor knows that you love to sleep...... I love to sleep, and I specially made this kind of blackout curtain, which was only installed yesterday. Biyun explained.

Tao Yaoyao listened to the warmth in her heart, and there was an indescribable sense of happiness.

"Biyun, take out that red suit." Tao Xiaoyao commanded, suddenly in a good mood, change your style.

"Yes, sissy." Biyun was stunned at first, and then went to the box to get the skirt.

Tao Yaoyao usually loves light clothes, this red palace dress is the phoenix brocade that Qingye Blazing took seven days to make, although Tao Yaoyao saw the finished product and praised it again and again, but she was too ostentatious and glamorous, so she put it away, and today I somehow got up to wear that body.

Under Biyun's skillful makeup, Tao Xiaoyao is like a different person.

"Niangniang, you are so beautiful!" Biyun can't use more words to describe this feeling than beauty.

"Alright, it's not early, let's go." Tao Yao laughed.

"Niangniang, don't you need to eat?" Biyun said strangely, on weekdays, the mother loves to eat, and today she also specially made the mother's favorite dish.

"I won't eat it." Tao Yaoyao looked at his waist, and he couldn't wear this clothes anymore!

"Niangniang, Guifu is here." Jasper came in at this time and said.

"Hmm." Tao Yao answered and went to the hall.

"Peach Concubine Niangniang is auspicious." Guifu almost didn't recognize it when he saw Tao Yaoyao.

"Father-in-law is exempt."

"Niangniang, the emperor has already set up a birthday banquet, just waiting for Niangniang. Someone—" Guifu commanded.

"It's—" Tao Yao saw a pile of large and small things towards him.

The emperor specially instructed the servants to find these rare medicinal materials to celebrate Niangniang's birthday. And those are a box of silver. Guifu replied with a smile, and Biyu and Biyun couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they heard it.

Tao Yaoyao is also full of black lines, this guy knows himself too well, this will send silver directly, direct enough! But why does she always feel a little unhappy?

Of course, the emperor of the harem gave the concubine a gift and sent silver directly, you are the first, and it is estimated that you will be the last!

"Then thank the emperor for his kindness." Tao Yaoyao said.

"Niangniang, please-" Guifu also smiled in his heart when he saw these things sent.

Tao Yaoyao followed Guifu, and it didn't take long to arrive at the Imperial Garden, Qing Yezhuo was already sitting on the dragon chair, and Concubine Ying, Jiang Guiren, Wan Guiren and Situ Zhao below were all there, but they didn't see Luo Chang there.

As soon as Tao Yao entered the courtyard, everyone's eyes fell on her.

She was dressed in red makeup, her skirt was like a gilded phoenix tail, and her chest was inlaid with vermilion, revealing a faint temptation. The sleeves are wrapped in gold edges, and the waist is a pair of satin pinched thin belts wrapped around a few times, and the end is hung with glass beads, lining her graceful figure. The green silk is rolled into a gorgeous bun, two carved phoenix gold steps are swayed and inserted in the bun, and the ears are hung with hibiscus jade pearls, which are gorgeous and luxurious, but not a demeanor. The peach is young, the red lips and white fat eyebrows contain autumn waves, the red peach blossoms on the forehead are delicate, and the lotus steps are like fairies, sinking fish and geese.

"Please say hello to the emperor-" Tao Yaoyao bowed slightly.

"Excuse me—come." Qing Yezhuo's eyes only have her shadow at the moment.

"I wish Concubine Tao a happy birthday——"

"Thank you, sisters, no courtesy-" Tao Xiaoxiao waved her arm, quite a kind of motherly momentum, although Concubine Ying is also wearing enchanting, but she does not have her fairy spirit and clarity.

"Is my sister's illness getting better?" After Tao Yaoyao sat down, he turned his head to look at Tao Ying.

"Thanks to my sister, I've been cured." Tao Ying said with a smile, her teeth itching with hatred in her heart.

"That'll be fine." The peach is obviously deliberate.

"Zhao'er knows that Niangniang is on her birthday today, so she specially brought the aged tequila to Niangniang." Situ Zhao ordered people to bring up two large wine jars.

"Thank you, Miss Situ." Tao Xiaoyao gave Jasper a look, and Jasper asked people to move the wine jar away.

"Sister sent my sister a red hairpin, didn't my sister's hairpin not be found, my sister was specially customized by people to Linlong Pavilion, this red jade is better than that one." Tao Ying smiled and asked someone to hand over a brocade box.

Tao Yaoyao opened the box, and sure enough, this hairpin is very similar to her Luoxia hairpin, and the jade quality is really better. I didn't expect Linglong Pavilion to have a customized business for customers now, yes, I can think of this, Xiaoshan is really a talent!

"Thank you for your kindness, but my sister's hairpin has been found, and this sister likes it too." Tao Yaoyao closed the lid and said with a smile.

"Niangniang's temperament is like an orchid, and this magnolia is perfect for Niangniang." Wan Guiren also stood up and said, and then asked someone to bring up a flower pot.

The orchid in this pot seems to be a natural color, carved into the shape of a flower by a skilled craftsman, this graceful noble man is indeed the daughter of the richest merchant, this handwriting, tsk.

"The gift of the noble man is really valuable." Tao Yaoyao looked at the proud look of the noble man and said with a smile, people give it away for nothing, don't give it for nothing.

"Niangniang is polite, Jiang Guiren, what kind of gift is yours?" Wan Guiren still likes to bully Jiang Shaoqing.

"This-" Jiang Shaoqing blushed.

"Niangniang, Shao Qing knows that Niangniang loves to eat food, this is a dim sum made by Shao Qing herself, I hope Niangniang likes it." Jiang Shaoqing may have felt that his gift was too light and was a little embarrassed, but he still asked people to hand a delicate food box to Tao Yaoyao.

I tasted it and it was really delicious!

"On Concubine Tao's first birthday in the palace, did Jiang Guiren pay so little attention to it?" Wan Guiren is aggressive and humane.

"This-" Jiang Shaoqing knew that the things he gave were probably the least valuable, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"I thought you had a very good relationship with Concubine Tao, but that's it." Wan Guiren is indeed superb in sowing discord.

"It's not—" Jiang Shaoqing was about to cry.

"The pastries made by Jiang Guiren are so delicious, if it weren't for the nobles, this palace would really want to take you into Taoyuanju. If the palace is not mistaken, this hibiscus cake is filled with anchovy orchid, this spice is very rare, and my sister has a heart. Tao Xiaoyao exclaimed.

Jiang Shaoqing gave Tao Yaoyao a grateful look, although she made this pastry very carefully, but she didn't put any anchovy orchid incense, Tao Yaoyao said this is nothing more than to relieve her and break the arrogance of the nobles.

"Hmph." When the noble man saw Tao Yaoyao talking, he stopped squeaking.

"Xiao'er, you are really beautiful today." Qing Yezhuo did not hesitate to praise, and with a force in his hand, he hugged Taoyao's entire body into his arms.

"Am I not beautiful on weekdays?" Tao Yaoyao smiled slyly.

"I mean that as long as it's a child, it's beautiful." Qing Yezhuo didn't react for a while, and Tao Yaoyao would ask that.

"Hahaha! You're so cute! Tao Yao laughed.

Tao Ying saw the interaction between Qing Yezhuo and Tao Yaoyao, her eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, but she had no good way to destroy it.

"Hahaha-Brother Huang, don't come unharmed!" A rough voice rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

"Siyi!" Nightburn stood up, and everyone followed suit.

Siyi, Qing Siyi? Righteous King?

Tao Yaoyao looked at this person curiously, with a burly figure and a clear contour, at first glance, he was a person who had experienced the baptism of the battlefield.

"Why did King Yi come back at this time, King Naping?" Nightburn asked.

"Haha! The minister was not used to that scene, so he rushed back with a team of personal soldiers, but he didn't expect to be about to enter the palace to meet the imperial brother, and ran into the birthday of Concubine Tao, so naturally he couldn't come empty-handed. Come! King Yi commanded, staring at Tao Yaoyao.

Tao Xiaoyao touched her face.

"Is there anything on my face?" Tao Yaoyao asked the people around her in a low voice.

"I'm worried a lot, I wrote to the righteous king about the previous Huicheng and Xiaocheng, I'm afraid that the righteous king wants to see where you are sacred." Qing Yazhuo replied with a smile.

It turned out to be like this, which scared her.

King Yi asked people to bring up a large box, which contained a complete white tiger skin.

"I like the gift of King Yoshi, thank you." There is no compliment at all in Tao Yaoyao's words, she is the first time she has seen such a thing, she really likes it, if this tiger skin is placed on the peach chair in the study, how comfortable it should be!

"Haha, it's good if my mother likes it." The righteous king is also hearty.

"Come on, sit down!" Qing Ye Zhuo commanded, and the righteous king sat down in the first seat below him.

"Su Wenying Concubine Niangniang's piano skills are superb, and Concubine Tao's Niangniang is also shining at the Shengshang's birthday banquet, Zhao'er really wants to see the two Niangniang's piano skills, I don't know if Niangniang can-" Situ Zhao said at this time.

"Since Sister Zhao'er said so, Bengong will play a song. Someone is coming, and the piano of the main palace is brought up. After Tao Ying finished speaking, she glanced at Tao Xiaoyao with a provocative look.

Last time, she grabbed her eyeballs, and this time she didn't believe that she really couldn't compare to her. In Tao Ying's eyes, Tao Xiaoyao was just lucky with a novel instrument, because they grew up together since childhood, how about Tao Yaoyao's piano skills, she knew very well in her heart, could it be that she fell off the cliff, and even her piano skills could grow?

Tao Ying sat in the middle of the garden, stroked the piano with her fine fingers, and a heavenly song was graceful and hazy, which made people linger for a while, and the ending was also reminiscent. It is worthy of being a must for piano skills, and sure enough, the piano skills are good, even people like King Yi who don't know much about piano music, and they also nodded again and again.

Tao Yaoyao just glanced at her lightly, obviously she could refuse, this is to embarrass her, she didn't want Tao Ying to succeed, so she asked Biyun to take the guzheng.

"Then the concubine will be ugly." She sighed softly, glanced at King Yi, and sat down by the piano.
