In the morning, at the gate of the Heng'an Palace in Luoyang, the capital

There were three sedan chairs parked in front of the door, and the beauty and the Hengan Wang couple said goodbye to Wuzhong at the door.

Mrs. Wu said, "Zhong'er, are you really not going?"

Wu Zhong said: "I won't go, if the emperor asks, you can help me talk to the emperor, just say that I am a little uncomfortable." Said and yawned.

King Heng'an was puzzled: "What did you do last night, you didn't see anyone all day, and you didn't come back until midnight at night."

Wu Zhongqiang smiled: "I didn't do anything, I'm not a fighting cricket, and I even drank two glasses with others at night."

The king of Heng'an rebuked, "Doing not do the right thing." Flick your sleeves and walk on the sedan chair. :

Everyone was shocked, and Mrs. Wu hurriedly said, "Okay, if you don't go this time, you won't go, you can go back to sleep, don't be tired."

Wu Zhong hurriedly said, "Got it, mother, let's go."

Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "That mother is gone, beauty, get on the sedan chair quickly, let's go."

The beauty hurriedly said, "Mother, you go first."

Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "Well, hurry up." As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the sedan chair, which was lifted and slowly walked out into the street.

Seeing the sedan chair walking down the street, the beauty turned around and said, "Were you with Jinghui yesterday?"

Wu Zhong nodded and said, "Hmm."

The beauty said, "That'...... How are you doing?"

Wu Zhong said bitterly, "What else? Sister, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a few days."

The beauty nodded and said, "Well, then I'll rest assured, then I'll go, you have a good rest."

Wu Zhong nodded and said, "Well, let's go." I watched the beauty walk into the sedan chair and go to the street.

At noon, the capital Luoyang Palace

In the main hall, Wu Zetian was dressed in the emperor's dress, and all the emperor's relatives, ministers, and envoys were neatly lined up, and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Wu Zetian looked down at everyone and said with satisfaction: "Okay, all Aiqing, messengers, get even."

The crowd shouted, "Thank you, Emperor." As he spoke, he stood up.

After a while, several eunuchs brought up the tributes of various countries one after another, and one of the ceremonial officials preached in turn: "The Turkic Kingdom presents His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom ten horses with blood and blood, five thousand fast horses, five hundred pieces of jade, ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred pieces of precious stones, and one hundred pieces of malachite...... The Tubo Kingdom presented His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom with 7,000 fast horses, five elephants, ten pairs of rhino horns, ten pairs of ivory, 500 pearls, and ten peacocks...... The Kingdom of Silla presents 1,000 pearls, 300 pieces of agate, 100 ginseng plants, 5,000 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, and 30 pieces of leopard skins......."

After a while, after the ceremonial officer finished reading out, Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, good, very good, all the distinguished guests have worked hard to come from afar, everyone lives in the capital, and they are still used to it, right?"

At this time, the Khitan prince stood up and bowed and saluted, "Thanks to the emperor's hospitality, we have a good stay and are very satisfied."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, that's good, that's good."

Darzan also came out and said: "Your Majesty, this prince thinks that the residence is so-so, and it is okay, but your Da Zhou's wine, it is really delicious, and this prince is very satisfied."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "That's good, since the prince loves the wines of our country so much, then I will give you a few jars of the old wines treasured in the palace later, so that you can take them back and taste them slowly."

Darzan was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Emperor."

After a while, Wu Zetian said: "All the distinguished guests have worked tirelessly, come from afar to celebrate my birthday, the journey is tiring, tired, I am very moved; I am also very grateful for the hard work and dedication of all the families who have worked hard for the peace and prosperity of the Great Zhou and the peace and contentment of the people...... Today is my birthday, and I take this opportunity to prepare a banquet and singing and dancing for the distinguished guests and all the families to thank you for your hospitality, and please move to the Xianju Hall and take a seat."

Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Emperor."

At night, the Xianju Hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the capital

Dazzling and shining fireworks rose into the air, and with a thudding sound, the exploding fireworks lit up the Immortal Residence Hall

Reflected in a brilliant light.

Wu Zetian sat on the throne in the middle, the envoys and the ministers of the emperor's relatives sat under the prime minister, on the left were the prince Li Xian and his wife, Princess Taiping, Li Dan and his wife, Longji Aixue, Wu Sansi and his wife and Wu Chongxun, Heng'an Wang and his wife, Zhang Khan and other ministers, etc., on the right was the Khitan prince, the Tubo prince and the eldest princess, the Silla princess and other envoys, the singers of the music workshop on the middle stage were singing and dancing, the sound of fairy music, the clouds were flying, everyone was full of interest, very lively.

After a dance, but the stage suddenly darkened, everyone was shocked, and after waiting for a while, there was no change, a burst of doubts, and there were many discussions.

At this time, they heard a soft sound, and everyone was startled, and hurriedly looked towards the sound, but saw a small boat rowing in the lake next to the stage, and a child on the boat carried a lantern to shine on a girl sitting on a boat, and the girl was sitting in the boat, playing the piano...... The slightest note floated gently, like the sound of heaven, and everyone was shocked and nodded in praise......

Slowly, as the boat walked in, more instruments joined the ensemble, the notes became cheerful, and the stage gradually became clearer, and the dancers danced in...... As the boat approached the shore, the woman walked slowly onto the stage with the harp in her arms and danced with the dancers......

At this time, everyone saw the true face of the man, and Ai Xue was surprised, "Cui Hong?"

Longji said, "I'm afraid no one can play such good music except her."

After a crisp sound, the song and dance ended, and Cui Hong and all the dancers congratulated in unison: "I wish the emperor good fortune like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, long live."

Wu Zetian applauded happily and said, "Okay, good ......" Everyone applauded.

After a while, the dancing girls retreated, and Li Xian and his wife stood up and walked to the middle, opened the box in the hand of the eunuch and said, "Erchen presents a pair of mother queen jade Ruyi, I wish the mother emperor good luck and good luck."

Wu Zetian smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Then Princess Taiping walked to the middle, took a square box, opened it and bowed down, "Erchen presents a night pearl of the East China Sea to the mother emperor, and wishes the mother queen to shine forever like this night pearl."

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's good...... Dan'er, it's still customary, what you Xiangwangfu brought should be a seven-color cake, how about it? Did you bring it?"

Li Dan hurriedly led everyone to the middle, bowed down and said, "Back to the mother emperor, the son has already brought."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, okay, while you are here today, let you guests taste it too."

Li Dan hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's the mother emperor."

After a while, there was a small plate in front of everyone, and inside was a small piece of seven-colored cake, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and found that although it was a small piece, there were seven colors that expanded outward in a circle, and I was surprised.

The Khitan prince was puzzled: "Your Majesty, I take the liberty to ask."

Wu Zetian was puzzled, "What questions does the prince have?"

The Khitan prince was puzzled: "These seven-colored cakes, after counting them below, each piece has seven colors, I would like to ask below, will this seven-colored cake be like the name, and will also have seven different flavors?"

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Is it seven flavors, the prince might as well taste them carefully."

The Khitan prince nodded and said, "Okay, then let's taste it first." As he spoke, he tasted it round and round, and the more he tasted it, the more surprised he became.

Wu Zetian was puzzled, "How is it? Did you taste it?"

The Khitan prince was surprised: "There are really seven flavors, it's amazing, Da Zhou is not only huge, but even the pastries are so exquisite, I really admire, admire."

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "Thank you for the prince's compliment, but it does take a lot of effort to make this seven-colored cake, Concubine De, you have worked hard."

The princess bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the seven-colored cake this time was made by the concubine's daughter-in-law, Aixue."

Wu Zetian was surprised: "Love snow? You did it?"

Ai Xue was startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the imperial grandmother, but this is all made by her mother-in-law, who taught Ai Xue by hand."

Wu Zetian was surprised for a while, nodded and said, "Although it is hand-in-hand, you can be diligent in making moves, that's not bad."

Ai Xue bowed and said, "Grandmother Xie Huang praised."

On the side, Darzan finished eating the seven-colored cake in one bite, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty."

Everyone was shocked, and Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Prince Tubo, is there something wrong with you?"

Darzan hugged his fists and said, "Although your country is vast and has exquisite skills, this prince thinks that it is only limited to playing songs and dances and eating food, and it is not as good as our Tibet."

Everyone was shocked, and the eldest princess hurriedly glanced at Darzan, but Darzan ignored it.

Wu Zetian held back his anger and forced a smile: "Oh? Then what is it that is not comparable to your country?"

Darzan said proudly: "Our Tubo country has a million soldiers, strong soldiers and strong horses, invincible, and invincible, you can't compare with this."

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, smiled coldly, and said casually: "Invincible, invincible? It seems that last time in Liangzhou City, I don't know who was beaten by our General Li Yan and fled?"

Darzan was embarrassed, his face was swollen and red, and he hurriedly said: "Then, it was only a momentary negligence on the part of Prince Ben that allowed him to take advantage of the loophole, that doesn't count, if he fights alone, he is definitely not my opponent."

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Fighting alone? It seems that in the last martial arts exam, you were defeated by my grandson Longji."

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help snickering.

Darzan was shocked, even more embarrassed, and said hurriedly: "Then, I have already defeated your martial champion that time, and he only came out to compare with me later, he took advantage of the danger of others, this doesn't count, I, I want to compare again."

Everyone was shocked, and the eldest princess persuaded, "Brother Wang, you are drunk, don't talk nonsense."

Darzan hurriedly said, "Sister Wang, I'm not drunk, I'm not talking nonsense."

The eldest princess was embarrassed for a while, and couldn't help but feel angry.

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Re-compare?"

Darzan nodded, "Yes, if he doesn't fight here, you will lose."

Zhang Cambodia stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, today is your birthday, and it is really not suitable to compete at this time."

Wu Zetian hesitated for a while, and Darzan smiled, "How is it? Your Majesty, you're not afraid of losing, are you?"

Wu Zetian was dissatisfied: "Afraid of losing? I've never been afraid."

Darzan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay, since you are not afraid, let him compare with this prince again." As he spoke, he slapped the table and jumped out.

Wu Zetian said: "Okay, since the prince is warmly invited, you don't have to be too polite Longji, you can have a good discussion with the prince, but remember, until the point is reached, it will not hurt the peace."

Longji was about to stand up, but was stopped by Aixue and said, "Slow."

Longji was surprised, "Love snow?"

Aixue looked at Darzan, bowed down and said, "Imperial Grandmother, it is not difficult to defeat Prince Darzan, you don't need Longji to come out in person."

Longji hurriedly said: "Love snow ......"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, and Aixue continued: "As long as the granddaughter-in-law comes out, His Royal Highness the prince can lose convincingly."

Everyone was shocked, and Wu Zetian reminded: "The competition is not a joke, you have to think clearly."

Aixue said: "If the granddaughter-in-law can't win the prince, she is willing to accept the punishment."

Longji hurriedly said: "Aixue, Imperial Grandmother, Aixue ...... her."

Wu Zetian stopped and said, "I am looking at you, then you will compete with the prince of Tubo, what do you think, prince?"

Darzan looked at Ai Xue and sneered: "This prince originally didn't intend to make everyone ugly, but since the emperor actually sent a woman to humiliate this prince, then don't blame this prince for destroying flowers with his hot hands."

Everyone was taken aback, and Ai Xue smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, who is the hot hand and who is the flower, this is not certain."

Darzan said angrily, "Okay, that's what you said, we'll see what we do." Everyone was shocked.

After a while, Ai Xue stood with a long sword in her hand, looking at the Tibetan prince with a sledgehammer, and everyone looked at it calmly......

Darzan finally let out a shout, "Ahhhh

Love snow flashed lightly,

So he ducked away...... After a few exchanges, Darzan never touched a little of Aixue's clothes.

Darzan said angrily, "You just hide all day, can you still fight?"

Ai Xue smiled, "Okay, just fight, that's what you said." As he spoke, the sword light flickered, and a burst of sword light rolled towards Darzan.

Darzan was startled, and hurriedly waved the hammer to block, and when there were a few sounds, his wrist was numb, and the double hammer fell to the ground......
