In the imperial garden, a hundred flowers compete for appearance, a pool of clear water, duckweed all over the ground, a palace beauty, jade pendant dingling, footsteps like a lotus, it is like a scene of people than flowers.

Su Yan, who was standing at the bottom, looked at the grand appearance of the courtyard, and his heart was slightly cold: "Today you hold a feast, and all the officials and ministers laugh at you, how can you remember the past, there was a person who blocked the sword for you, and the sword cut the enemy?"

"Today, Your Majesty, specially to celebrate the health of the queen's mother, the phoenix body is holding a flower-viewing banquet, please sit down. The concubine waved her hand.

After the officials and their families were seated separately, after a short time, the delicacies were served in delicate jade plates.

The emperor looked at these delicacies, frowned, and said to the queen: "Although these dishes prepared in the imperial dining room are supplemented, they are a little fatty and greasy. ”

"Tsk. ”

The queen smiled, and her face was like a flower: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." It's just Your Majesty, there has been another flood in the Nulong River this year, and the imperial court has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to control the river and arrange for displaced people... Now that this Hundred Flowers Banquet is so extravagant, the concubines are really terrified. ”

"This control of the river, I have the masters of the Weihu Army under my command to take action, collect the river water with magic weapons, build embankments, and open up another river, as for the settlement of the displaced people, there is a national teacher to take action, I am very relieved. This Hundred Flowers Banquet is an annual rule set by the ancestors, and it coincides with the first recovery of the queen's phoenix body, which cannot be abolished. The Emperor said.

A nobleman said: "Yes, Queen, today for this Hundred Flowers Banquet, the concubines have prepared some performances and gifts, just to let the queen show you a smile, and then bloom the smile that is enough to look at the six palaces, the sister of the concubine has already ordered someone to go to Huishan County to find a secret treasure, to be dedicated to His Majesty and the queen." ”

"Oh, the concubine is so caring?" said the emperor.

The concubine smiled and waved her sleeves to order someone to present it.

I saw that when the red cloth was lifted, it was a statue of Maitreya Buddha, surrounded by golden light, emitting dazzling light in the bright sun.

"A Buddha statue?" the emperor wondered.

The concubine smiled: "Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary Buddha statue, but the presiding officer of the Qianqiu Buddhist Temple in Huishan County, Master Huizhen personally refined a heavenly high-grade magic weapon, once the true qi is injected into it, it can inspire hundreds of millions of Buddha shadows, and at the same time contains a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao, which can be used to suppress the enemy, and can also be used to comprehend the Dharma, which is wonderful." ”

"The true meaning of the avenue!"

The emperor solemnly glanced at the Buddha statue, nodded and said, "It is indeed a heavy treasure!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The concubine said happily: "In fact, not only the concubines, but also the Yu nobles have prepared a gift for His Majesty and Niangniang, and I also invite Your Majesty and Niangniang to take a look." ”

"Oh, what a gift?"

Yu Guiren smiled when he heard this, got up and said: "What the concubine has prepared today is a dance, which is the favorite dance of the former queen mother, and I also invite Your Majesty and Niangniang to take a look." ”

"Ni Dress and Feather Dance? A trace of remembrance flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he nodded and said, "In this case, let's declare Gong'e." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Seeing the emperor's expression, Yu Guiren clapped his hands with joy in his heart.

Su Yan saw that a group of palace ladies flew out and danced, their wrists trembled slightly, their jade fingers were green, their rings were ringing, and they couldn't help but nod secretly: "In this palace, even these palace ladies are sword guts realm monks, no wonder they can make such a difficult dance." ”

An official lady next to her covered her mouth and smiled: "These palace ladies are not ordinary, they are all selected folk women from the families of various court officials, they have been carefully cultivated since childhood, and after being selected one by one, they are sent to the palace, which is naturally different from ordinary palace maids." ”

Su Yan nodded and didn't say anything more.

After the dance of neon clothes and feathers, the congratulatory gifts of the concubines have also been presented, with a variety of them, some of which are magic weapons and secret techniques, and some of which are performing stunts.

Suddenly, I heard the queen speak: "The gifts presented by the concubines are very fond of this palace and the emperor, but the palace has just recovered from a serious illness, and it all depends on one person, Su Yan, you come forward." ”

When Su Yan heard this, he walked forward slowly, only to hear the queen mother say: "Your Majesty, today this palace can sit here and enjoy the flowers with you, thanks to the wonderful hands of Miss Su Yan, and please allow this palace to give a reward to Miss Su Yan in public." ”

"Yes, yes!" the Emperor nodded.

"Your Majesty, slowly. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Su Yan who opened his mouth in puzzlement, only to hear Su Yan Lang Lang smile and say: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the little girl is fortunate to be able to treat the queen's mother, it is the honor of the little girl, Your Majesty has rewarded the little girl before, and now, if the mother rewards again, the little girl is afraid that she will be ashamed." ”

"It doesn't matter, since you have cured the illness of this palace, this palace should be rewarded. The queen laughed.

Su Yan smiled lightly and said: "That is the case, then it is better to do this, there is a little girl to offer a gift, dedicated to Your Majesty and Niangniang, if it is a good offering, it is not too late for Your Majesty and Niangniang to reward the little girl again." ”

"Oh?" the emperor was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "I didn't expect Miss Su Yan to have this thought, okay, so, I will allow you to offer a gift, but if this gift is not good, what about Miss Su Yan?"

"At your Majesty's disposal. Su Yan said with a smile.

As he spoke, everyone saw Su Yan leap onto the high platform of Fang Cai's performance, raised a sword in his hand, and smiled at everyone: "Today, the little girl wants to present a sword dance for His Majesty and the queen's mother, and ask a few musicians to help and play music." ”

A song like the sound of mountains and flowing water immediately sounded.

Su Yan held a long sword, the sword light reflected the snow, like a flower flying, light Luo Huanpei, swaying with the sword light, the waist and limbs were like weeping willows bending, the heart and sword were one, and the sword rose into the air, dancing like a fairy descending to earth.

"Okay, good!" The emperor's eyes burst into a dazzling brilliance, and he said: "The unity of the heart and sword, this is the real unity of the heart and sword! I didn't expect that this Su Yan girl, at a young age, is not only outstanding in alchemy, but also has a high strength! In the future, she will definitely become the pillar of our country." ”

The crown prince and several princes and ministers present nodded and praised: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won the talent of the pillars!"

Tang Xiyan, who was sitting on top of the young ladies of the official family, looked at the prince's expression, and looked embarrassed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, this Su Yan's left arm has actually recovered!"

At the end of Su Yan's dance and Jin Ge sword dance, he suddenly looked back and bloomed with a dazzling smile, which made people fall into the dust at a glance!

Everyone was swaying for a while, only to hear Su Yan arch his hand and smile: "The little girl has heard that the princess who protects the country in the past likes the sword dance the most, and the little girl is not talented, so I will dedicate this dance to Your Majesty and the queen, and wish me the fortune of the country and the country of Wanli Yongchang!"

As soon as Su Yan's words came out, all the officials changed their complexions, and they all looked at Kou Xian, the national teacher who was drinking with a smile.

The empress's complexion also changed immediately, and she looked at the emperor nervously.

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, his eyes were like a cold pool in the ancient well, extremely cold, and he said word by word: "Princess Protector?"

The little girl once heard that the former princess who protected the country, in order to protect Her Majesty, was willing to risk her life to repel strong enemies and quell civil strife. The little girl is not talented, and she is willing to emulate the princess of the country and guard the territory of my Wanli country forever!" Su Yan said solemnly.

The atmosphere was calm, and after a long time, the emperor laughed: "Good! Good!
