"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and Concubine Shu has arrived."

Su Jingxi saluted with everyone, and once again realized this kind of unequal rank in her heart, even if Concubine Shu is now a concubine, enjoys the grace of the emperor, and is also powerful, but she is a concubine, and she is only a concubine.

When the eunuch reports, there will never be the word "drive", but it is no different from these other little concubines, when walking, the queen needs to be half a step behind the emperor, and the person who walks side by side with the emperor is always the queen, and she needs to be half a step behind the queen.

Half a step, half a step is the gap, is the insurmountable rule.

"Flat," Zong Zhengjin walked to the top seat and sat down.

Su Jingxi followed everyone to get up, and secretly glanced at the top quickly, today he rarely wore a dark red embroidered thin robe, a gold silk belt coiled, and the jade crown tied up made him handsome, and his sideburns were like a knife, and he was even more extraordinary.

"Today is the emperor's birthday, and the palace knows that all the younger sisters must be ready for talent, so you might as well start now," the queen said after receiving the emperor's signal.

Su Jingxi glanced at the queen, and the two of them had been judged a few days ago, and the scarlet and golden thorn dress still showed her luxury to the fullest, adding a little joy, and her face was also powdered, but a pair of eyes were extremely bright.

At this banquet hosted by the queen, naturally she had already sent people to ask those concubines what kind of talents they wanted to perform, and she appeared one by one, and after saying this, someone was ready to enter.

The first to come on the stage was An Shuyao An Liangdi, "The drunken fishing singing night performed by the concubine." ”

After An Shumiao was slightly blessed, he burned incense and cleaned his hands, sat down, raised his hands lightly, touched the surface of the piano with his jade fingers, gathered his breath and concentrated, and the euphemistic and clear piano tune suddenly sounded in the hall.

Su Jingxi listened quietly, this piece is more difficult, what is needed is a kind of lofty and far-reaching feelings, smiling proudly, drunk and beautiful, she just looked at her series of movements like flowing clouds and felt that it was enjoyment, and what the beauty really did was beautiful.

At the end of the song, it was obvious that many people were immersed in it and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Look, Concubine An's performance is not worse than that of Concubine An, I am afraid that there will be opponents in the future," Concubine Shu was the first to speak, and said with a smile. complete works

Zong Zhengjin hooked the corners of his mouth, "Shu'er is too humble," and said to the people who were still standing on the field, "I still have a bell there, so I'll reward you." Net"

The bell is one of the four famous pianos, and it is the only one and the only one, and it is very valuable.

"Concubine Xie Emperor rewarded, I must cherish my life," An Shuyao bowed.

"A good piano needs people who understand it to cherish it, I believe in you, and I won't let me down," Zong Zhengjin seemed to be in a good mood.

Concubine Shu Guifei did not have the slightest jealousy, but smiled brightly, "If Sister An is free, it is better to go to the Chonghua Palace in the main palace to sit and sit, so that you can exchange and learn, maybe you will become a bosom friend." ”

"Yes, the concubine Xie Niangniang appreciated it, and she will disturb one or two now, and I hope that Niangniang will not dislike the concubine and disturb the tranquility of the mother."

The second one on the stage was Yu Xun beautiful Xiaoyuan, who performed dance.

Dressed in a beautiful and bewitching dance dress, she is even more glamorous than before, her hair is pulled up, and she is only decorated with a silver magpie bead flower, and the magnolia flower on her forehead is a little more pure, and the bottom is covered with light gauze, so contradictory The two are perfectly combined on her body, Su Jingxi nodded silently in her heart.

The long water sleeves raised an arc in the air, jumped up, leaned back, the tulle covering the face was lifted by the breeze, revealing a small chin, as well as a slender and white neck, constantly rotating arc, continuous sleeve flicking in one go, the music was either fierce or soft, and the match was seamless.

Zong Zhengjin has always been indifferent, it is like this every year, but he has changed people, but he will not show his inner impatience, but stares at the people on the field with heavy eyes.

As soon as he turned his head, his eyes were inadvertently attracted by the person sitting on the side, the rare light makeup was made, and the facial features were delicate and lovely, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were staring intently at the field, and the brilliance flowing from his eyes made him can't help but be frightened, envy and appreciation are undoubtedly revealed, but there is no trace of jealousy or resentment.

Su Jingxi was eating the longan of the flower cup, while enjoying the dance on the field, touched her hand, and turned back in disbelief, a small plate of longan had been eaten unconsciously, this season is not the time to be rich in longan, it is rare to meet your favorite fruit, and it is inevitable that you can't control yourself.

He pouted his lips unwillingly, sighed, and continued to look at the field, which was the wonderful place, and many people couldn't help cheering.

Su Jingxi didn't know why, she suddenly turned her head, and happened to meet his slightly playful eyes, and almost immediately glanced at the fruit platter in front of her with a little weakness, and then showed him a flattering smile, but he sent her away directly with a meaningful look.

Su Jingxi stared at her for a few more moments, making sure that he had no desire to make eye contact with her again, so he had to move his gaze back to the field angrily.

At the end of the dance, Zong Zhengjin rewarded something without saltiness, and then said no more.

"Su Shunxian, let's put more longan on each table, I see that the taste is not bad," Zong Zhengjin suddenly said in a voice, not only is it good, someone has finished eating.

Su Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and regardless of whether he could see it or not, she still threw a grateful look at him.

Although Zong Zhengjin was talking to Concubine Shu, Yu Guang had already noticed her, but he chose to ignore her flattery.

The queen took this scene in her eyes on the side, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and strengthened her thoughts in her heart.

The next talent did not show much outstanding, and basically these new concubines and concubines performed as usual, and the emperor rewarded them as usual, and the queen occasionally followed the reward and ended this performance.

Next is the birthday gift, which is also the most worth looking forward to.

The queen took the lead in presenting a unique copy of a painter from the previous dynasty, which is not particularly valuable, but those who are familiar with Zong Zhengjin know that it was the enlightenment teacher when he was learning to paint, which shows that the meaning is different.

Zong Zhengjin showed some satisfaction, but did not say anything else, the queen was already content with this.

The other concubines wanted to take this opportunity to show off their glory and regain their favor, so they were all eager to try and were full of interest, while some were more low-key and did not give outstanding things, such as Concubine Shun and others.

Zong Zhengjin was rewarded as usual.

When it was Su Jingxi's turn, when she raised her head and touched his gaze, for some reason, she was slightly nervous, as if she saw him for the first time in the palace, her heart was as worried as a deer, and her face was slightly red, "The concubine wishes the emperor a holy body and prosperity." ”

Su Shunxian presented the things from Tingyao's hand, Su Jingxi lowered her head respectfully, she couldn't bear to look at his expression, her lips squirmed, and she didn't speak.

Zong Zhengjin looked at her expression and wanted to laugh a little, and glanced at the box that was presented, when Xiaofuzi came to report before, he only said that he was not sure, and he didn't want to know in advance, leaving a suspense is also a surprise.

I opened the lid myself, and there was a moon-white civilian dress neatly placed inside, with two delicate golden dragons embroidered on it, and it took a lot of thought at first glance, it turned out that she always stayed in Zuiyunwu a few days ago, presumably for this.

Su Jingxi couldn't tell from his face whether he liked it or not, only heard him say, "The embroidery is good." ”

Su Jingxi finally exhaled when she heard this, revealing a big smile, "Concubine Xie praised the emperor." ”

"The concubine looks at this embroidery is really good, the emperor has to reward Sister Zhen well," the queen said with a generous face, with appreciation in her eyes, as if sincere.

Zong Zhengjin also nodded, "You have to reward it, but how does the queen think it is?"

The queen showed a smile and glanced at Su Jingxi up and down, "The concubine looks at Sister Zhen as a lovely person, why don't you let her touch your joy tonight." ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone was stunned, the queen was promoting Su Jingxi, and she clearly wanted her to be favored, you know, the meaning of being favored on the emperor's birthday is very different.

They all couldn't help but move their eyes to the person who can really be the master, hoping that he could say a "no", but unfortunately he will be disappointed after all.

"Since the queen said so, then so be it," Zong Zhengjin seemed to really follow the queen's advice, not because of the person they discussed.

Su Jingxi saw that his face was faint, but when she touched his gaze, she still reacted quickly, "Concubine Queen Xie." ”

"Sister Zhen doesn't have to be polite, serving the emperor well is the most important thing," the queen is still very virtuous and generous, her tone is sincere, and her smile is natural.

"Yes."

Not only Su Jingxi, but almost everyone thought that the queen was reborn and reborn, if it weren't for this face, there was no doubt that it was the queen, and they even suspected that this was not the queen at all, and it was not impossible for the ghost to possess her.

These words are high-sounding, and the words are generally decent, showing the queen's demeanor, if it weren't for the impression that the queen left on them before was too hypocritical, they might really believe that this is the queen's original face.

Even if there was a hint of flattery in the queen's words, they disdained it in their hearts no matter what, sneered, and did not dare to show anything on their faces, only smiled.

The banquet has reached this point, and everyone is no longer as enthusiastic as before, and they are not in the mood, especially after seeing the queen's virtue and Su Jingxi's pride, they feel even more uncomfortable.

Not long after, the banquet dispersed after Zong Zhengjin and Su Jingxi left.
