As early as more than a month ago, the palace began to clean and repair, to this day is already every place is revealing exquisite luxury, at a glance to see the corridor waist man, the eaves teeth high peck, a majestic, magnificent.

For the palace, Shen Ninghua is very familiar, in the past, he only felt that this place was surrounded by palace walls, and the hearts of depressed people hurt, but now he has changed his mood, but he feels that this place is worthy of being the most luxurious place in the entire Da'an country, and this momentum is incomparable to other places, otherwise it would not have attracted so many princes to fight openly and secretly.

The two of them each sat down at two tables for male and female guests, Shen Ninghua just sat down, and felt a gaze fall on her, she looked up, just in time to see Yang Yingxue looking at her, and couldn't help but smile and greet: "Cousin came early today." ”

Because they are both princes and concubines, the seats of the two are not far away, and it is convenient to speak, Yang Yingxue is dressed as a concubine and has a bright yellow pearl hairpin, which at first glance looks very similar to Shen Ninghua's dress. Seeing Shen Ninghua coming over, Yang Yingxue raised her hand and stroked the hair on her sideburns: "Cousin, I haven't seen you since you came back for a long time, so don't be surprised." ”

Shen Ninghua smiled widely: "What did my cousin say, didn't we just meet at the last full moon banquet, where did we still use a special visit again, and thank my cousin for the gift, besides, my cousin is now the side concubine of the second emperor's brother, and I naturally know where it is convenient to go out of the cabinet when every move is not in the cabinet." ”

Yang Yingxue smiled gratefully: "My cousin still understands me." ”

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to the table in front of him, unwilling to talk again.

The cold gaze of Baili Jinchuan on the opposite side scraped over her cheeks, and she looked at it very carefully, as if she wanted to engrave her image deeply in her mind, and Shen Ninghua didn't care when she caught his gaze, he only picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip slightly, the spicy wine entered his throat, making his chest hot, and even the depths of his eyes were dyed with layers of flames.

After the officials arrived, they waited for about a quarter of an hour before they remembered the announcement outside: "The emperor has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

Everyone knelt down and saluted, since Zhao Huiying's death, the emperor did not set up another queen, there are not many high-ranking concubines in the palace, this New Year's banquet he simply took the prince by his side, and the other concubines did not bring any of them.

"All of you Aiqing are flat, today is the New Year's banquet, you have worked hard for a year, you can relax today, you don't have to be formal."

"Yes, thank you to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Soon, the sound of drums and bamboos sounded, and a group of beauties stepped on the beat and walked in, their clothes fluttering, their slender waists curling, dancing and dancing, and the surrounding officials were already drunk before they had drunk, and they couldn't take their eyes off the dancing beauty.

The atmosphere here is much quieter, and many of them don't look down on dancers, especially those ladies who are destined to see their husbands staring at the beauties without blinking, how can they still be happy.

Shen Ninghua tasted it quietly with a teacup, and ate a piece of dim sum from time to time, which was extremely comfortable.

Baili Qingcang on the throne was a little bored, and even yawned a little bored at the end of the song and dance.

The third prince suddenly stood up: "Father, in previous years, it was like this singing and dancing, and I got tired of watching it every year, and my son asked people to prepare some folk performances, I don't know if my father is willing to appreciate it and take a look." ”

"Folk performances?" Baili Qingcang was a little interested, he had lived in the palace for a long time, and he hadn't touched the folk things for a long time.

"Yes," the third prince smiled on his lips, "Erchen always listens to his father's teachings, and always remembers to be close to the people, so Erchen took advantage of the previous year to learn how the folk celebrate the New Year, and happened to see someone performing, so he had some ideas, and carefully selected people to perform for his father, and those selected artists heard that they were performing for you at the New Year's banquet, and they were so happy that they almost fainted." ”

Thinking of that scene, Baili Qingcang smiled: "This is unusual, I am indeed tired of the singing and dancing of previous years, you all retreat, the third child, announce your people." ”

The beauties in gorgeous dance costumes retreated in turn, Shen Ninghua raised her eyes slightly, the smile on her lips did not change in the slightest, a little plain but not easy to approach, as if the rules were carefully portrayed with a pen.

Soon, several plainly dressed men came up, with three iron cages behind them, covered with red cloths, and only the outlines could be faintly discerned, and only a few rattling and creaking cries came out, letting people know that they contained different living creatures.

Shen Ninghua took the fingers of the teacup for a moment, slowly put the teacup down, and his eyes fell on the covered boxes.

Several artists were extremely excited when they saw Baili Qingcang, their faces turned red, and their cramped and nervous appearance was really like what the third prince said, and they almost fainted.

Being looked at with great reverence like this, Baili Qingcang was in a good mood: "Okay, don't be formal, what kind of performance are you good at, pick up the best performances and come out to see, if the performance is wonderful, I will be rewarded." ”

"Yes, the grass people obey."

The artists uncovered one of the cages with a red cloth, revealing the inside of the cage.

"Ah, it's a monkey!"

Seeing the animals in the cage, many people couldn't help laughing, the monkey was extremely small, but he was wearing a small red shirt with the word Fu printed on his body, and after seeing the cage door was opened, he walked out of the cage on his hind legs, and pounced on the hundred miles of Qingcang.

"Haha!" Seeing this scene, Baili Qingcang laughed happily. The officials below hurriedly cheered, saying that the emperor was domineering and deterrent, and everything in the world bowed down to the emperor.

The artist on the side kowtowed to Baili Qingcang and said, "Your Majesty, you have to say that this little monkey will get up." ”

"Oh? It's fun, but can it understand human language? Flat. ”

After Baili Qingcang finished flattening, the little monkey got up neatly, jumped backwards and did a backflip, and then fell to the ground again.

Baili Qingcang smiled more and more happily: "Good, good, reward!" ”

The third prince smiled slightly, with a look of smugness in his eyes.

After the little monkey performance, the artist let the little monkey stay on the cage, and then lifted the second cage, and the black eagle flew out of the cage like an arrow, and the officials on the side exclaimed: "Ah, oh my God." ”

The eagle leaped around the main hall, and then landed steadily on the cage, nodding at Baili Qingcang constantly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Baili Qingcang's eyes: "This is Hai Dongqing, after being domesticated, he still retains the original divine horse, not bad, not bad." ”

The performance has reached now, and everyone has set their eyes on the third cage, this little monkey and Hai Dongqing have come out, so what is this below, should it be more ferocious than Hai Dongqing, right?

The third cage is the largest, and when it lands, it is also the heaviest, what kind of beast is it contained?

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the red cloth on the third cage was untied, and a sound of inhalation suddenly sounded around him.

"This ...... Is this a tiger? ”

"Oh my God, it's a tiger? It looks mighty and domineering! ”

Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, and brought the tiger to the Golden Palace, is the third prince crazy?

The artists ignored everyone's exclamations and opened the door of the cage directly. The panic around him became more and more serious, especially on the side of the female dependent: "Oh my God, this tiger shouldn't eat people, right?" ”

"Oh my God, it's coming."

The king of beasts came out, walked a few steps lazily and slowly, and then knelt down in front of Baili Qingcang, put his huge head on his front paws, and roared a few times like a cat.

The third prince, who had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, stepped forward in due time, knelt down in front of Baili Qingcang and shouted: "The king of the beasts bows down to his father, and his father intimidates Kyushu and Zephi people!" ”

With the three princes taking the lead, the other hundred officials hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor threatens Kyushu and Zephi Wanmin." ”

Baili Qingcang's face was full of smiles, and his laughter was particularly happy and hearty: "Haha, okay, Zhong Aiqing got up, the emperor has a heart, and the artists performed well, reward, heavy reward!" ”

The artist was extremely excited, kneeling on the ground and thanking him again and again.

Everyone was about to get up, when suddenly an earth-shattering roar exploded in their ears: "Roar! ”

The colorful tiger straightened up and roared at the officials, and pounced on the artist next to him who had not yet reacted. It was too late for the artist to run away, so he could only try his best to dodge, although he didn't let the tiger bite his neck, but one arm was directly bitten off, and blood suddenly spurted out everywhere.

"Oh my God, run!"

"Oh my God!"

The fierce tiger was completely aroused by the turmoil and blood, and the ferocity was completely aroused, and pounced on the female dependent.

Shen Ninghua found that something was wrong and hurriedly got up, but she didn't want someone behind her to stand firmly, so she pressed directly on her back in a panic and pressed her to the ground.

The tiger spotted Shen Ninghua and pounced on her with its mouth wide open.

Shen Ninghua gritted her teeth stubbornly, because she exposed that she was good at using poison, she was afraid that she would arouse Baili Qingcang's suspicion to deepen, so she didn't bring anything, and now she only hid a few golden needles in her sleeves to save her life, but there is absolutely no possibility of success in using gold against Fu Laohu.

The sudden change made Baili Jinchuan stunned, and then subconsciously looked for Shen Ninghua's figure, saw that she was in a dangerous situation, and hurriedly stepped forward to save her, forcibly operating the internal force, the already damaged meridians seemed to have been scraped by steel needles, and it hurt so much that he almost fell to the ground: Shen Ninghua!

Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, pushed the weight on his back back away suddenly, and then rolled to the side on the spot, trying to avoid the tiger biting the vital point.

said that it was too late, and when he saw that the tiger was about to bite Shen Ninghua, he suddenly fell straight to the ground, and Baili Junyi stepped forward to protect Shen Ninghua: "Ninghua, are you okay?" ”

Shen Ninghua shook his head and looked at the Third Prince with a condensed gaze: "Brother Third Emperor, the person you are looking for doesn't seem to be very reliable!" ”
