Tang Xueling nodded and began to discuss with the Sect King how to act.

"Oh, this is the Spring Palace booklet, don't look at the one that is only the size of a palm, there is a lot of scenery inside." King Zong opened the Spring Palace Atlas and deliberately exposed a page for Tang Xueling to see.

Tang Xueling snorted coquettishly, and turned her head shyly, "Your Highness, how can you show this to others, you are ashamed." ”

King Zong closed the booklet and said with a smile: "If you feel ashamed, then the father must be furious when he sees it." ”

He put his ear close to Tang Xueling's side, exhaled and flushed Tang Xueling's snow-white neck, and said: "You only need to stuff this booklet on your sister, and accidentally touch it, and then the noble lady present will scream when she sees it, and feel that your sister is in a profligate shape and in trouble, and when the time comes, when His Majesty notices, your sister will be miserable." ”

Tang Xueling thought for a while, shook her head and said: "No, the banquet is when it's dark, and no one can see the booklet that drops, and when it is discovered, who can prove that it was my sister who dropped it?" If I speak out, it will arouse suspicion for no reason, especially my father, who will definitely think that I am deliberately targeting my sister. ”

King Zong nodded: "Makes sense." ”

Tang Xueling said: "My sister is good at painting, I guess the eight achievements of the birthday gift prepared by Zuo Xiang Fu Yao this time are paintings, it is better for me to bring the Spring Palace brochure in the painting, and when they show it in public, it will naturally fall out, at that time, as long as Your Royal Highness guides you a little, the emperor will definitely be angry with my sister." ”

King Zong thought for a while, tore down a painting from the booklet, handed it to Tang Xueling and said: "This plan is feasible, when the painting falls out, I will say that it was painted by the two of them flirting and scolding, and it was accidentally entrained in the painting." My father hates people the most and fornication, and now he can watch a good show. ”

Tang Xueling put away the painting, and the two of them looked at each other, feeling very satisfied.

After greeting King Zong, Tang Xueling took the painting and left.

It's already night, the lights are brilliant, and the flow is like a dream.

Tang Xueling inquired in all directions, groped for Tang Siru's residence, and saw Tang Siru.

She walked over and said, "Long time no see, how is my sister doing?" At today's palace banquet, my sister is not familiar with the rules in the palace, and I ask my sister to give me more advice. ”

Tang Xueling saw Tang Siru holding a brocade box, and guessed in her heart that this was a congratulatory gift, and her eyes rolled slightly.

Tang Siru didn't expect her to come as a congratulatory gift, and was wondering why Tang Xueling suddenly came to him so diligently, didn't she want to breathe a piece of air with herself on weekdays, and she couldn't wait to pinch her nose and walk when she saw herself?

But stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Tang Siru saw her come over so kindly, and he didn't think of her in a bad way, but he just had some doubts in his heart, and immediately said: "Then you won't come to ask me." ”

Tang Xueling said, "Sister, what are you taking, can I take a look?" ”

Tang Siru frowned, this is Fu Yao's congratulatory gift to His Majesty, and it stands to reason that it can only be displayed in front of His Majesty.

She said, "This is a congratulatory gift to His Majesty, and you can't open it to see it." ”

Tang Xueling stomped her feet and said, "Good sister, this is a congratulatory gift from Your Majesty, I can't touch it in my life, I'll just take a look, okay?" ”

Tang Siru said helplessly: "It's just a painting, you can't unfold it, what's the point of looking at it." ”

Tang Xueling said: "I will open the box and see it, and I will never open it, it will be touching His Majesty's dragon grace." ”

The corners of Tang Siru's mouth twitched, defeated by this statement, but still met Tang Xueling's superstitious requirements and handed her the box.

A smile flashed at the corner of Tang Xueling's mouth, and he got the brocade box as he wished. She secretly put the painting in the palm of her hand, carefully opened the brocade box and put it in while Tang Siru was not paying attention, and exclaimed loudly after finishing: "Oh, I actually touched His Majesty's birthday gift!" ”

Tang Xueling's acting skills were exaggerated, but Tang Siru didn't realize anything, she shook her head helplessly, deeply saddened by her superstitions, as if she saw herself who turned koi before the exam, and patted her shoulder with the same feeling.

Tang Siru said: "Since you are overjoyed, I will go and send it to Master Fu, and the palace banquet will start later." ”

Tang Xueling nodded: "Then I'll go to my father too." ”

The birthday feast begins.

The lights are lit up at night and the fireworks are in full bloom.

Big flowers such as chrysanthemums, such as peonies, such as peonies, a hundred flowers bloom, delicate, small flowers such as jasmine, gardenia, osmanthus, strings are connected into fluorescent, red, blue, yellow and green, and the flames rise into the air.

The musicians in the palace play music at the water's edge, there are the sound of crisp rain made by the zither and pipa, lively and vivid, and there are flutes, flutes, drums, and piano camps rumble and thunder, solemn atmosphere.

The stage was set up in the Taihe Palace, and there were dancing queens dancing, neon clothes and feather clothes, flying the moon in the sky, ethereal fairy sounds, Dunhuang Hu Xuan, and paintings can be made everywhere.

The food at the banquet is even more sumptuous and exquisite, milky white almond tofu, thousands of wisps of shellfish, hibiscus purple jade soup...... It's all delicious food that is hard to see in ordinary people, but it's not a luxury ingredient.

The theme of the banquet is a birthday banquet, so it is natural to celebrate the birthday first.

Queen Fan didn't dare to be too prominent because of the previous events, so she picked a strange stone inkstone with a good omen and chose it as a birthday gift, and said: "This inkstone is called the fairy top, and there are naturally formed pine trees and crane patterns on it, as if it is a fairyland, I wish Your Majesty good fortune." ”

Emperor Nanming's face is good today, but he still looks weak and weak, and he always needs someone to support him, and when he heard the queen's speech, he smiled slightly: "Okay, good queen, I like it very much." ”

Where does Queen Fan want to shine? It's best to be so plain and faultless, and when I heard this, I took a retired.

followed by the crown prince, the prince was snubbed a lot because of the Fan family, Fu Yao's supervision of the country made him questioned, and later his mother was reprimanded by Emperor Nanming in person, which made his status even more shaky, and he was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to behave well.

The prince congratulated: "This jade screen is crystal clear, like a lake, and the son heard that his father loves mountains and rivers, so he wanted to dedicate it to his father." After speaking, he waited for praise with a smug face.

This jadeite screen is extremely precious, it is the best ice jadeite, flaws are rare, and it is even rarer to be able to carve such a large screen. Such a thing can be regarded as a priceless treasure, and the prince has indeed put a lot of thought into it in order to get it.

It's just that this time the prince's sycophant was slapped in the wrong place, and as soon as Emperor Nanming saw such a valuable thing, he remembered that the Fan family was corrupt.

How much does such a jade screen cost, and where do these silver taels come from?

Emperor Nanming's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Although I like this jade screen very much, and I also know that this thing is really rare, but I don't know that my treasury is empty, how can the prince have so much money to buy such a rare and peerless object." ”
