Sure enough, as Mu Xuefu expected, within a few days, King Rui was hot with his bare hands. Thanks to Emperor Xuanwu's words, Ah Yulin Feng Zhilan is upright and dignified, and has the style of the first emperor.

Everyone knows that Emperor Xuanwu respects the first emperor the most in his life, and he can praise King Rui to the height of the first emperor, and everyone has a calculation in their hearts.

July 28 was the birthday of the imperial concubine, and Emperor Xuanwu attached great importance to it and held a birthday banquet for her in Wanshui Palace.

The whole palace is covered with a happy color, everywhere you go, the lanterns are colorful, along the way, the embroidered curtain is diffuse and circulating, and the lanterns are bright and bright. The big red lantern hanging high is like a round of red morning sun, blooming with fire trees and silver flowers in the dark night.

The grandeur and luxury of this birthday banquet can be compared to the queen's Qianqiu Festival, and it also highlights Emperor Xuanwu's favor for the imperial concubine.

At this time, the imperial concubine favored the six palaces and stood out, even Mrs. Ning Xin, who has been favored in recent years, or the favored Concubine Wen Guifei, cannot stand shoulder to shoulder.

She had a warm and tranquil smile under her luxurious clothes and delicate makeup, quietly beside Emperor Xuanwu, her eyebrows were soothing, as quiet as water, and she did not have the slightest rebelliousness because of the favor at this time. As always.

Originally, a seat had been prepared for her on the right side of the emperor's throne, but Emperor Xuanwu brought her to sit beside him, which made the concubine's eyes red, a place that many people wanted to reach all their lives, but the imperial concubine was reluctant to sit down after repeated shirks.

At that time, Emperor Xuanwu's mind was all on her, and he only had an intimate conversation with her, and it was even more rare to personally pick up vegetables for her, which caused everyone to look sideways.

The empress sat on the left side of Emperor Xuanwu, her eyes slanted, looking at their intimate appearance, and a sour taste came out of her stomach.

Since the day she became the queen, she has been sitting here, watching the women around the emperor change one after another, but she has never been her.

Today, the imperial concubine returned to the emperor's side from the seat on the right, and she still sat in this cold position unchanged, sitting here as a foil.

Of course, she must also be generous and decent, dignified and gentle, and not have a trace of unhappiness.

Wanshui Hall is located in the Yingluo Pond and is named after the phrase "Wan is in the middle of the water". The courtyard and the pavilion, the mountains and rivers are in the pond, and the stars are listed. Because of the rain in the past few days, half of the heat has been reduced, and occasionally the evening breeze blows gently, rolling up the half-rolled crystal curtain in the hall, facing the blue water hibiscus, vaguely wrapped in a faint fragrance. The moonlight is sprinkled in the blue water, and the waves of the sky and water are a pool.

On the top of the main hall, the queen is graceful and luxurious, Zhuang Ning is gentle, and the smile on her face is perfect to the extreme; Mrs. Ning Xin is bright and beautiful, the country is fragrant, and the Xia Fei makeup on her cheeks adds a bit of spring color to her; The lady concubine is graceful, her eyebrows are like flowers, a pair of Danfeng eyes are sharp and charming, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of calculation; The imperial concubine is elegant and elegant, tranquil and elegant, snuggling up to Emperor Xuanwu and talking and laughing shyly, which has a unique style.

Concubine Wen didn't come this time, she stayed in Shengjing, and since Princess Wuwu died, she was distressed every day. At first, Emperor Xuanwu would still coax her, but she cried every day, and after a long time, she lost her patience. So I didn't bring her with me to the palace this time.

The rest of the concubines, delicate or glamorous, quiet or charming, although they know that today's protagonist is the imperial concubine, but there is such an opportunity to meet the emperor, and which one will not dress up carefully, hoping to have the opportunity to get the emperor's attention?

It's just that Emperor Xuanwu, who is used to seeing beautiful women like flowers, has never looked at them, and all his attention is on the imperial concubine beside him. Maybe it's because of a serious illness, or maybe it's because of Jing Xuan's death, which makes him more sincere. And the imperial concubine is the "sincerity" he saw after waking up, so he cherishes it very much.

Mu Xuefu inadvertently raised her head, facing Shangjing Wanqi, she smiled at Mu Xuefu stupidly, revealing her white teeth.

She has calmed down a lot these days, not like the noisy days ago, but she still holds a pillow in her arms and smirks when she sees people.

Mu Xuefu looked at her current appearance, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Emperor Xuanwu. In fact, from a woman's point of view, Jing Wanqi's current unclear appearance is not a gift to her? Losing her son and having to face the man she loves and embracing another woman, if she is sober, it is the real pain.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw her suddenly run towards him. She looked left and right, circled around Mu Xuefu twice, and looked her up and down.

Mu Xuefu was inexplicably looked at by her, and suddenly she grabbed Mu Xuefu and said stupidly: "You are so beautiful, be my son's daughter-in-law." ”

Mu Xuefu was stunned for a moment, not knowing anything for a while. Jing Rong was drinking with King Fu, and returned to her after watching it.

He brushed away Jing Wanqi's hand and said coldly: "No matter how beautiful you are, you have a famous flower!" She is my daughter-in-law, you can find someone else for your son. ”

Jing Wanqi seemed to be frightened by Jing Rong's cold appearance, pulled Mu Xuefu's sleeve and didn't let go, hid behind her, looked at Jing Rong, pouted, and said unhappily: "I want her to be my daughter-in-law!" Her face changed, she smiled all over her face, pulled Mu Xuefu, and looked elated, "My son is better looking than him, better than him, you must like it when you see it, and my son will like you too." Will you be my son's daughter-in-law? She was mysterious, squinted her eyes and swept around, and lowered her voice, "I tell you, my son is the prince, and in the future, he will be the emperor, the emperor!"

Jing Rong stiffened his face and snorted coldly. When she heard this, she raised her chin unconvinced, raised her eyebrows, and said, "What? You don't believe what I say? I'm telling you, you don't believe you'll regret it. When my son becomes the emperor, I will let him punish you nine clans, no, punish you ten clans! When the time comes, will you be convinced? ”

Jing Rong scoffed and said disdainfully: "It's really crazy." ”

"You're crazy, I'm sober, I'm more sober than any of you." Jing Wanqi "giggled", stretched out his index finger and pointed at Jing Rong, and his gloomy gaze emanated from his eyes, "You have to be careful, I see from my eyes that you will lose something very important, you have to be careful." ”

She smiled innorantly, and Mu Xuefu looked at her and frowned.

She stopped pestering Muscheph and returned to her seat with the pillow in her arms. But she seemed to be even more crazy, talking to the pillow all the time, not knowing what she was talking about, but seeing her laughing as she talked, and glancing at Mu Xuefu from time to time.

That dispensable look made Mu Xuefu a little uncomfortable, she touched her arm, and shivered in the warm air.

Between them, there was a dancing girl dancing in the center of the hall, and between the fluttering skirts, Mu Xuefu didn't notice that Jing Wanqi looked at her as if she had poisoned juice in her eyes.

After three rounds of drinking, the singing and dancing changed one after another, and people were a little tired to watch.

Every year, everyone watches these performances many times, and they really can't get interested. In addition to drinking and chatting, the banquet was a little unpleasant in the middle of the banquet.

Or the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple said that there is a new tiger in the animal training field, although the appearance is fierce but it will not hurt people, and it will be as docile and obedient as an ordinary kitten and puppy, and the most important thing is that it can also understand human speech, let it sit and it will sit motionless, let it lie down and it can roll on the ground.

Saying this, Emperor Xuanwu was a little interested, and seeing that everyone was eager to see it, he asked the beast trainer to take the tiger out to take a look.

The animal trainer led the tiger in, and everyone looked at it directly, but they were also concerned in their hearts.

The tiger was huge, and followed the animal trainer with a leisurely pace. It raises its eyes lazily, looking at no one, as if it is accustomed to being watched.

At last it stopped at the foot of the nine-zhang jade steps, held its head high, opened its mouth like a blood basin, yawned, and let out a low sound.

"Wow~~"

This sound was terrifying, and some timid palace concubines were frightened and hid back.

The tiger squinted at those who feared it, as if playing a prank, and he stuck out his tongue and licked it around his mouth before calmly withdrawing it.

Emperor Xuanwu was interested and asked, "Can this tiger really understand human speech?" ”

The trainer took a piece of raw meat from his pocket, shook it in front of the tiger, and then ordered: "Lie down." ”

When the tiger heard this, he really lay on the ground and did not get up, and did not move.

When the trainer saw that it was obedient, he threw raw meat at it. It opened its mouth, ate it and chewed it a few times before it was gone.

The trainer took out another large piece of raw meat and shook it in front of it, commanding, "Stand up and turn around." ”

The tiger seemed to really understand human speech, and did as he was told again.

This time the meat was noticeably larger than the last time, and it chewed slowly as if it wanted to have an aftertaste, no longer gobbling it up like it had eaten before.

Emperor Xuanwu was interested, walked down from the top of the jade steps, and approached step by step.

The queen was worried, stood up and said politely: "The emperor should not get too close to that beast, it is too dangerous." ”

"Okay." Emperor Xuanwu responded to her words, but he didn't stop and walked in front of the tiger.

He stretched out his hand and touched the top of the tiger's head, this behavior made everyone's hearts rise to their throats, for fear that the tiger would go crazy and hurt the emperor.

The beast tamer handed a large piece of raw meat to Emperor Xuanwu, who gave an order to the tiger, "Lie down." ”

The tiger's eyes looked at the meat in Emperor Xuanwu's hand hungryly, and then lay down lazily, looking like a giant cat all the time.

Xuanwu Emperor Lang Lang smiled, dropped the raw meat and threw it directly into its mouth, and said, "Yes, it's interesting." ”

The tiger was tasting it with taste, and suddenly heard the praise, as if he understood, and walked to the feet of Emperor Xuanwu and rubbed the corner of his clothes with his head.

Emperor Xuanwu was even more interesting, and beckoned Xu Shou, "Go to the dining room and get more meat for it to eat." Then he said to the animal tamer: "You are well tamed, and I will be rewarded." ”

After receiving the reward, the trainer led the tiger out, but the tiger stopped halfway through.

As if stimulated, it roared, and its dark green gaze burst into the direction of Mu Xuefu like lightning and thunder.

Suddenly, he bared his sharp teeth, raised his forepaws, and pounced on Mu Xuefu.
