It was the end of autumn, and the sound of winter's footsteps had become clearer and clearer, even if it was sunny on this day, it was only at the beginning of the unitary period, the sky had begun to dim, and there was no red neon in the distant sky, and the clouds that were dyed by the night were the first to gradually gather.

The sky was slightly dark, but the lights were not turned on, and the dishes on the table seemed to be too greasy, and under the cold skylight, the color and flavor were not good, and only two or three tastes were appetizing-

The book in Yijing's hand will be directed towards a jasper roll, Qiu Yue will be connected to the plate, and meet the little master's increasingly dissatisfied, Qiu Yue smiled: "Wu Niang has already used one earlier, this fried thing, it should not be used too much at night." ”

Without saying anything, she took the plate away, for fear that Yijing would stop her.

Yijing looked at the bowl of crab roe lion head in front of him again, and was hesitating whether to taste another grain, but Qiu Shuang took the first step and took it away: "This dish should be taken while it is hot, and it is cold now, it really hurts the spleen and stomach." ”

Xia Ke hurriedly presented half a cup of medicinal pigeon soup: "Wu Niang still uses this." ”

Yijing stirred it with a spoon, it was really a clear soup with little water, and even the shredded meat was missing.

In the past, these maids would persuade her to eat more, but what's wrong with today?

Chun Du frowned slightly when she saw Yijing, and hurriedly explained: "I don't know how to present some greasy meals today, which Wu Niang didn't like the most in the past...... It is better to pease the stomach first, and later, the slave and maid will go to the dining room and order to prepare some light and delicious supper. ”

Why is it that on this day, a few maids are strange in Guli, and it seems that there is some conspiracy brewing......

Yijing didn't make a sound, silently drank half a cup of clear soup, and then let the table be removed, but saw that Chun Du and Xia Ke were both relieved, and their hearts became more and more confused.

The four maids invariably forgot her birthday, and after being reminded by Yu Zhou, Chun Dusk suddenly realized, but Qiu Yue and Qiu Shuang, these two maids did not see anyone for a long time, and when asked, Chun Du only said that they went to the hot spring to bathe......

When I had dinner in the evening, I saw the Qiushuang sisters, and still no one said hello to her, and it really seemed to be forgotten.

Spooky, quite spooky.

Yijing lazily leaned on the kang, looked at the four maids with strange behavior, and asked: "What is my aunt busy with, she is about to turn on the lamp, and there is no one in sight?" Earlier, I didn't see her in Shouren Hall. A pair of eyes stared straight at Twilight, trying to find a flaw in her face.

Chun Twilight didn't dare to meet it, raised his eyes to look at the twilight that was surrounding outside the window, and seemed to be unclear: "I think the Queen Mother has other instructions?" If my aunt won't leave the palace, will she? ”

Qiu Yue hurriedly said: "Or, the slave maid will go and inquire?" Without waiting for Yijing to say yes, he pulled Qiushuang out of the house, looking at the impatient pace, it really seemed that he had done something wrong, and he was afraid of being kept and questioned by Yijing.

Let's see what tricks they have to play!

Yijing was lying on the window lattice, a little sullen.

If you are at home, your grandmother will remember her birthday, as well as the eldest sister, the fourth sister, and the eighth sister, every day, will accompany her to play, and a table banquet will be set up in the green garden, inviting good sisters, and a few interesting maids.

But the first birthday after rebirth was so lonely.

The beautiful scenery sighed for a long time.

Suddenly remembered that he was just this year, he felt wronged, Yu Feng his birthday every year, all to mourn his deceased mother, intentionally "forget", clear and cold, even relatives such as the king of Chu, I am afraid that there is no half of a blessing, he said, being cared for was originally so happy, it can be seen that he also hopes that one day can be remembered...... But in that life, she told Guan Suiyuan about her birthday, but she ignored it, and she didn't mention it the next year, how disappointed he should be.

The mood darkened even more.

Gradually, the night is closed, the clouds are dense, and the waning moon is not visible, and even a few faint stars are also blocked by the haze from time to time.

Rao is that she doesn't like to be sad in spring and autumn, and at this time she also flashed a sad sentence in her mind: "The happy face is gone, and I mourn the year by the window".

Yi Jing was sentimental, but Chun Du stepped forward with a smile: "Wu Niang, the Queen Mother is invited." ”

"At this hour?" The scenery is suspicious.

"Exactly, the Queen Mother is admiring the moon in Hehuan Hall, please move Wuniang."

Yijing raised his eyes to look at the dark sky: "Moon-watching? "-I can't even see the crescent moon, what kind of moon is this?

Chun Du has already taken off a thick brocade begonia robe on the shelf, waiting for Yijing to wear, Xia Ke also brought a crimson cloak with rabbit fur piping, wrapped Yijing tightly, and a few palace people outside the door who have always been good friends with Yijing stood in a column, headed by Qiushuang Qiuyue, all carrying glazed palace lamps in their hands, "mighty" ready to accompany them.

At this time, Yijing tasted the truth of today's many strange things - it turned out that the earlier coldness was to set off the "surprise" at this time.

The heart is warm, but the face is as everyone wishes, and he is more and more suspicious.

Hehuan Hall is located in the flower garden of Xinggong East Road, the south gate leads directly to the Canjing Pavilion, the north gate is located in the harem, plays the role of connecting and communicating, all the way to the inside, the red leaves of the plants hang the palace lamp, the light is diffuse, the winding path leads to the secluded place, the jade hibiscus is like a beautiful woman shallow drunk, dyed with a shy red, Tingting is on the side, the dark fragrance floats.

Looking at the Canjing Pavilion from afar, it is also a colorful lantern eaves, brilliant and dazzling, reflecting the silence of the night on that side, and it seems that it is not so bleak.

It is not yet as bright as entering the room of the Hehuan Hall, and the silk and bamboo music can be heard from afar, light and festive, because of the cold autumn wind, the only remaining wisp of loneliness, and then disappear, not to mention that when the boots step on the soft felt in the hall, the sweet fragrance of the lilies that comes to the face, and the four corners of the huge carved bronze furnace, the warmth of the silver charcoal, as well as the flowers and trees around the cloth cover, the spring embroidery of the brocade screen, and the illusion that this is "the wind is warm at the end of winter, and the snow is red".

Seeing the beautiful scenery and his party entering, all the palace people around him were smiling.

At the end of the soft felt, in front of the brocade screen, a huge jade-faced round table, the Queen Mother has already taken her seat, and two teenagers beside her, one in a purple robe, and the other in a blue shoulder coat, are the three princes and Yu Feng.

"Why is Niangniang so interested today?" Yijing stepped forward to greet everyone, still pretending to be ignorant.

The Queen Mother really laughed: "Jing girl, I am stained with your light today, everyone has been busy planning for these days, and I will give you a surprise." Hurriedly beckoned, and pulled Yijing to sit beside him.

Yijing Ben was really pleasantly surprised, tightly wrapped around the Queen Mother's arm, and was so happy that she was "speechless", in fact, even if she heard that the Queen Mother was invited, she expected this surprise, but when she came to this situation, the joy still came from her heart - I originally thought that this birthday, it would be so cold and deserted, but I didn't want to turn around, there was a surprise waiting for me, even if the demon was present, it did not affect Yijing's happy mood at this time.

The third prince and Yu Feng got up one after another, and both of them wrapped their hands and saluted to congratulate Yijing's birthday.

There are also maids led by aunts, who come forward to salute and congratulate Fangchen.

"Today, there are no masters and servants, everyone is seated and have a good time with Jing Yatou." The Queen Mother spoke.

Despite this, the palace people still didn't dare to be presumptuous, and they were a little hesitant to connect a few maids in the spring and dusk.

Or if my aunt took the lead and took the lead in taking a seat, everyone dared to thank them and sat down in turn.

The wine and delicacies were held in turn, and the sound of silk and bamboo was raised again.

Yi Jing hurriedly toasted the Queen Mother to express her gratitude, and then saluted the three princes and Yu Feng respectively, but when he saw that Yu Feng drank the wine, he asked the palace people to change the hot tea for him: "Brother Feng is good, you can't indulge in drinking." ”

The Queen Mother also agreed, and Yu Feng had no choice but to bring tea and wine.

Yijing saluted her aunt again, poured another glass of wine, and saluted the maids in the seat.

Not to mention a few in the spring and twilight, the people who entered the table today were originally the palace maids of Ci'an Palace, and they were used to playing with them, they were intimate, and the palace maids also liked the frankness and cheerfulness of the beautiful scenery, and they were not restrained.

Or the queen mother reached out to help, saying that the hour was still early, not in a hurry, don't get drunk with the birthday star as soon as you come up, wouldn't you be disappointed, took the initiative to block the wine for Yijing, and waved her hand again, and ordered a few blonde and blue-eyed Yiren to let them perform illusions.

"To say that, although I came up with the idea, I don't know where to start for a while, so that Jing Yatou can be happy, thanks to Feng'er's detailed planning, I inquired about Jing Yatou's birthday in previous years, and I like to be lively with my sisters and the maids around me, so I decided this dinner." The Queen Mother explained with a smile: "This group of Yi people was offered by the envoy of Fanbang in early June, and the illusion is the best, different from the common ones in the market, I pondered that Jing Yatou had never seen it, so I asked Ah to return to the palace early this morning, so that you can open your eyes." ”

Yijing heard that the planning of this dinner was Yu Feng's idea, his heart sank slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw him staring with a smile, and immediately smiled.

Yi Jing looked at a few Yi people in the hall, among them the man, with slightly curly blond hair, draped over his shoulders, blue eyes like jewels, eight feet tall, broad shoulders and long arms, extremely burly, but there was no sense of rudeness; And the seven or eight women, all of whom are tall, with skin like white jade, eyes like blue pools, hair color of both red gold and dark brown, wearing tight waist trousers, showing a bee waist properly handed, heroic hair, and Dalong women's gentleness and grace are very different.

Although these women are also wearing Da Long's daughter's homely large-sleeved cardigan on their upper bodies, they are not weird when matched with the tight waist trousers underneath, but they have an exotic and unrestrained beauty, and see them twisting their waists and dancing to the rhythm of the Huqin and pipa drums, and the arms and bee waists seem to be soft and boneless.

The man retreated to a corner for the time being, and played the flute, but he controlled the rhythm of the music and turned and closed.

Sure enough, it is not as scary as those common Hu people in the market, who breathe fire and spit fog at every turn, swallow swords and cut hearts.

Suddenly, the flute sounded, and the pipa sound was urgent, but I saw that the dancer's sleeves suddenly shook out of the seven-colored long yarn, rotating around the body, and gradually seemed to be a blurred figure, only to see the seven-colored flying smoke, and suddenly the music was closed, everyone only felt that the line of sight was suddenly clear, and then a closer look, several women stood in the field, their arms bent up, the color sleeves fell, and the long yarn disappeared.

When the flute sounded again, a silk fan suddenly shook out of the woman's hand, bright like the moon, and I don't know whether it was a painting or an embroidery, but I saw that there were flying flowers red.

The flute sounded melodiously, the woman's silk fan shook gently, the bee waist was graceful, and the other hand was slowly spread out to signify, but there was nothing left in it.

I saw the jade palm in my hand, and with the silk fan shaking gently, there were flying flowers floating out between my fingers, surrounded by purple and red.

Yijing couldn't help but let out an exclamation, when he saw the flowers and leaves falling in front of him, he picked up and stroked, only to feel soft as silk, sniffing lightly on the tip of his nose, there was a dark sound, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake for a while.

"It's not a real flower, it's just a bluffing thing." The Queen Mother smiled and unveiled her doubts.

"It's amazing how they do it." The beautiful scenery is full of praise.

After a dance stopped, the man paced up, took out a scroll from a plum bottle on the case, unfolded it, but saw a long picture scroll, there are old branches and new plums, because there is some distance apart, but can not look at the subtleties of its brushwork, only see a white dove, spread its wings in the plum blossom forest.

"Jing girl, keep an eye on it." The Queen Mother reminded again.

The beautiful scenery couldn't take his eyes off, but when he saw the blonde man put the scroll in his hand and held it in his palm, the pipa music started again, and the man stepped on the beat and rotated, which was dazzling.

The music was suppressed, the man immediately froze, and when the scroll unfolded, Merlin was still there, but the white dove was nowhere to be found.

Yi Jingzheng was shocked, but the man threw the scroll and inserted it straight into the plum vase.

When he looked back after a few breaths, he saw a white dove suddenly appear in the man's hand, spreading its wings and flying, first around the beam, and then flying out of the hall and disappearing into the night.

"That pigeon must be real." Qiu Yue couldn't help but exclaim, full of doubts: "There is really a magic skill that can transform the things in the painting?" ”

Yijing knew that it was just a trick, but he couldn't tell when the man had hidden a live pigeon in his sleeve, and he didn't let people see the clues.

The palace people couldn't help but applaud, but the third prince stepped forward, took out the scroll in the plum bottle, opened it and looked at it, and was shocked-

But seeing that on the picture scroll, another scene has changed, the old branches and new plums are gone, but the night is deep, the color pavilion is brilliant, Huo Ran is the Canjing Pavilion that can be seen from afar, and in the beautiful light and shadow, the white dove is still spreading its wings!
