Xue Hainiang was thinking about it, and the queen mother had already ordered the palace maid to present a mysterious congratulatory gift from the mouth of King Hui of the Qing Dynasty.

The palace maid lifted the red cloth on the tray, and what appeared in front of her was a neon feather coat.

The peacock feather seems to be given life attached to the thin silk like the wings of a cicada, and the lifelike phoenix on the clothes and spreads its wings is embroidered with gold silk mixed with the peacock feather, which is vivid and vivid.

The guests present, from the court officials, the daughters of the eunuchs, to the maidservants were all amazed.

The phoenix has always been a symbol of the royal family, and those who are worthy of the phoenix are either princesses or queens.

Although Ma Zaoxiu is the niece of the Queen Mother, she has no half-dime relationship with the royal bloodline, and gave her a neon dress and feather coat...... The Queen Mother announced to everyone that Ma Zaoxiu was her daughter-in-law and the queen of the world.

For a while, the banquet scene was silent, and no one woke up from the shock of the neon clothes and feathers.

"The neon dress and feather coat is worthy of Miss Ma's natural beauty and peerless elegance. It was King Qinghui who took the lead in relieving himself, and his eyes, which were as beautiful as Qinghui but as deep as the sea, contained a touch of emotions that others could not see clearly.

Ma Zaoxiu came to her senses when she heard King Qinghui's praise, and she couldn't wait to fall into the arms of the queen mother, but fortunately, the rules of etiquette have always reminded her that she should lean over and thank her at this moment.

"Thank you Aunt Dowager, this neon dress and feather coat, Xiu'er likes it very much. ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head slightly, and her lips were raised lightly, "It's good if you like it." ”

"If Miss Ma changes into this neon dress and feather coat and dances the song "Ni Dress Feather Song", she will definitely be able to reproduce the style of the former queen of the dynasty and amaze the Quartet. During the banquet, a woman's melodious voice like a yellow bird was a pleasant voice that everyone couldn't help but look at.

The sudden voice made the Queen Mother a little displeased, she looked for her voice coldly, and felt that the woman who spoke looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"What kind of girl are you, so unruly!"

The person who originally wanted to echo a few words to attract the attention of the Queen Mother, when he heard this, he saw the Queen Mother's indifferent eyes, and immediately closed his mouth and bowed his head as a quail.

The atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while, especially the woman who spoke, and found that the Queen Mother did not have a good impression of her, but had some disgust, and her heart suddenly tightened.

She immediately got up and knelt down to admit her mistake, "The courtiers lost their words, and the queen mother forgives her sins." ”

Ma Zaoxiu glanced at the person who spoke with disdain, she didn't want to deal with it, but after thinking about it, with these words, she can just be in the limelight, and even spread some good reputation, and she can also sell personal favors, which is extremely cost-effective.

Thinking of this, Ma Zaoxiu smiled and called at the woman who was kneeling down: "Miss Murong is very true, it's a pity that Xiu'er has never practiced the dance of neon clothes and feathers, but thanks to the blessing of the Queen Mother's aunt, Xiu'er will definitely study seriously in the future, so that her aunt's mind will not be in vain." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother knew that it was the daughter of the Murong family, the right prime minister!

The Queen Mother smiled, reached out and gently patted Ma Zao's hand, "Murong family's ...... But the bright moon girl?"

The woman raised her head, took a cautious look, and when she saw this, she understood that the Queen Mother did not pursue her offense, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Ying Ying smiled: "It's the courtier." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she stretched out her hand to help: "Get up quickly, it is Xiu'er's birthday, and you are good friends with Xiu'er, why do you need to be so formal." ”

Only then did Murong Mingyue get up and sit down again.

The posture is dignified, down-to-earth and generous, and the background is good, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, but the original displeasure dissipated invisibly.

However, although the Queen Mother was not angry, the others did not dare to relax, but they all tensed up and did not say a word.

The Queen Mother saw that everyone was a little restrained, and said with a smile: "Today is Xiu'er's birthday, and the mourning family is also here as Aunt Xiu'er, so you don't need to be so restrained." Don't wait a while, but it will displease Xiu'er, the little birthday star, and it will be bad to go back to me to settle accounts. ”

When Ma Zao embroidery heard this, the charming and delicate jade face smiled like a flower, she wrapped the slender jade arm of the Queen Mother, and said coquettishly: "Aunt the Queen Mother, every time Xiu'er is born, you invite the singers and dancers in the palace to come and dance, it is really boring and ......."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed slightly, and she knew a little in her heart, and she followed the words embroidered by Ma Zao: "Then what do you want?"

Ma Zao embroidered apricot eyes crooked, smiling like a flower, "There are all talented and beautiful people here, Xiu'er proposed, if Xiu'er is not a question, they chant poetry, and the winner hopes that the Queen Mother will give a reward." ”

It's a fresh idea.

The Queen Mother was extremely indulgent to this niece who had a little blood with her, although this move was not very appropriate, but she also smiled and agreed.

At the guest table, Liang Bairou was very dissatisfied, and pulled Xue Hainiang's water sleeve and whispered: "I think it is most appropriate for the Queen Mother to come up with the question, if Miss Ma had this intention, she must have revealed the topic to the person who is good friends with her! Not to mention what she is, everyone is a young lady from a big family, where is it her turn to play!"

As she spoke, Liang Bairou motioned to Xue Hainiang to glance at Xue Qiaoling, who was complacent not far from the next door, her apricot eyes were slightly angry and unwilling, and she said in a low voice: "It's just that I didn't please the horse jujube embroidery like them before, and now I'm afraid I'm going to fall into the disadvantage." ”

Xue Hainiang hooked her lips and smiled lightly, signaling Liang Bairou to come over with her ear, "If you are full of poetry and books, what does it matter if you reveal the topic?"

Liang Bairou lowered her head to taste tea, delicate and delicate, twisting a handkerchief, her jade face was exquisite, her facial features seemed to be carefully carved, there was a hint of charm in the softness, and a pair of apricot eyes were faintly watery.

If she had been born a concubine, if she had not grown up on a farm......

Xue Hainiang looked at her aggrieved appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: Today's Liang Bairou is like a pearl covered with sand and dust in the desert.

Xue Hainiang hooked her lips and smiled, and teased: "Sister Liang's white clothes today are like a fairy, peerless elegance, national color and natural fragrance, Hainiang was stupid for a while." ”

Liang Bairou was stunned for a moment, and then a flush appeared on her face, "You're making fun of me again......"

Xue Hainiang smiled, "What's the matter, I'm just telling the truth, sister, why are you too humble? A woman is beautiful, and she is also a sharp weapon, talent...... This kind of thing is hard to learn, and there will always be it. ”

Liang Bairou's eyes flashed, when she first heard Xue Hainiang's words, she was indeed a little embarrassed and aggrieved in her heart, but as Xue Hainiang said, she is still beautiful, and even if her talent can't be top-notch today, it doesn't mean that she will really lose to others, not to mention that she is not talentless!

Liang Bairou curled the corners of her lips, "What you said is also reasonable......

While the two were laughing and talking, the horse jujube embroidery sitting at the bottom left of the Queen Mother had already said loudly that the topic was wine.

The guests were all whispering and whispering.

After about a stick of incense, talented and beautiful women and court officials began to compose poems for Empress Dowager Bo.

Among them, what made the full guests and the queen mother full of praise was Murong Mingyue's sentence 'When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky', which is very poetic and fits the late autumn season.

Liang Duanling's song "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" also impressed the Queen Mother and praised it.

However, Xue Qiaoling was a little unexpected by Xue Hainiang, it stands to reason that if Ma Zaoxiu secretly revealed the topic in advance, it should not be so with her level, although her song "Drinking" can be regarded as a good sentence, but in the face of many good sentences, it can only seem bland.

Xue Hainiang saw that Liang Bairou had never gotten up to recite poetry while twisting the silk handkerchief, and knew that she must have begun to be timid again, so she reached out and gently held her hand, silently comforting.

Liang Bairou glanced at her, and her originally uneasy heart instantly settled down.
