Chapter 33: The Birthday Feast
On the seventh day of the ninth month of the sixth year of Yongxing, this day is the birthday of the Great Zhou Emperor.
Early in the morning, the crown prince Xiao Changyao personally led the crowd to salute, and played the "Yangguan Three Stacks" with Xiao Changling, the king of Qin, Xiao Changche, the king of Yuzhang, and the royal relatives of the nearby clans.
The formal birthday celebration is located in the temple on the top floor of the Phoenix Temple - "Phoenix Pavilion"; After the celebration, it was the birthday banquet of His Majesty the Emperor, the emperor moved downstairs, the crown prince Xiao Changyao, the king of Qin Xiao Changling, and the three princes of Yuzhang Xiao Changche also followed the footsteps of the emperor and queen, and moved to the Phoenix Temple with a group of relatives and nobles.
The "Heaven and Thousand Autumn Banquet" of the Great Zhou Tianzi was not located in the Phoenix Pavilion as the Shouyi of Fang Cai, nor in the quiet back garden, but in the main hall of the West Garden of the Phoenix Temple - "Chenglin Palace".
Under the shade of a large area of lush slender spotted bamboos and seasonal flowers, the bright light of the Chenglin Palace, blue bricks and tiles, carved beams and paintings, further highlights the antique beauty of the royal palace.
The main hall of Chenglin Hall and the side hall are not too far apart, within the range of vision, outline into a wide rectangular square, in the middle is a pool of crystal clear blue water, in the water is a beautiful koi, the silver scales are full of tails, are swimming freely, rolling up the water and rippling, so not pleasant.
At this time, although it is already the early autumn season, there is no fragrance of green lotus, but the surrounding pine and bamboo, but it is verdant and shiny, the red peony pavilion is planted, the golden phoenix chrysanthemum is plump and bright, coupled with the bird's song, the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra, endlessly, it is more and more a pleasant and peaceful autumn scene, which makes people forget to return.
The emperor's birthday feast is set on the platform in front of the Chenglin Palace, and the long corridor of the palace steps runs across the square, just covering the faint autumn light that comes from the direct rays. Sitting here, tasting the best imperial delicacies, smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants everywhere, and seeing the shallow bottom of the fish in the water, everyone instantly immersed in this purple and red scenery, and it was difficult to extricate themselves for a while; The evening breeze of early autumn blows, gently blowing the bamboo forest outside the Chenglin Palace, mixed with the faint aroma of bamboo leaves, sending out a piece of rustling sound, like a heavenly sound, shaking off the frost and dew left by the morning light, silently.
At the moment, the candle flame in front of the Chenglin Hall is brilliant, the color screen is protected, the west wind of hunting, the apricot yellow dragon flag erected on the high platform is blown fluttering, and the center of the square below the Danqi has already set up a grand banquet. However, none of the Xiao clan members headed by the three brothers Xiao Changyao, Xiao Changling, and Xiao Changche, and the courtiers and nobles headed by Xie Hao, Xie You, Wang Yun, and Ling Tao were seated.
Behind them were thousands of dancing girls, jugglers and royal guards in golden armor, and at this moment, everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of the Ninety-Five.
The autumn colors are getting thicker and thicker, and the colorful lanterns hanging in front of the Chenglin Hall are also constantly swaying with the wind under the sound of the strong wind. Xiao Changling put his hands behind his back, stood in front of the huge food table with a solemn expression, and stood still, letting the autumn wind roll up a white coat and roll up the long inky black cloak on his shoulders; I saw that this king of Jingbei, who was only sixteen years old and had already commanded the territory and was in charge of 120,000 elite iron horses, always had a smile as faint as spring water on his clear and peaceful face, and the quiet and secluded starry eyes also shone with a cold light as sharp as a blade, and slashed straight towards the empty throne on the platform, silent for a long time. It was only at this time that he truly realized that his father was the only support for the country, and it was to maintain the souls of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people.
In a short time, the golden bell in the hall rang in the distance, indicating that the holy car was coming. At this moment, the countless clan officials standing in the audience were all dressed and waiting with bated breath; Xiao Changling also raised his head proudly, the pair of feet stepping on the Feiyun combat boots, firmly and calmly stepped on the fertile soil under his feet, did not move, and the two cold eyes like swords also at the same moment, slowly swept over the palace of Chenglin Palace, and then returned to calm, silent and no waves.
Half a moment, the emperor and queen walked out of the inner hall, and Xiao Longxian, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with an indifferent expression, held the elbow of the noble beside him, and walked up the golden steps side by side with the queen Dugu Yuanji, and both took their seats.
"Your Majesty has no borders!"
"Your Majesty has no borders!"
Seeing the emperor proudly standing on the throne, for a while, the civil and military officials standing in the audience and the gold-armored royal forest army in array were all so excited that they knelt down on the open square, and thousands of people shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is infinite for ten thousand years!" Your Majesty's longevity knows no bounds! ”
In the earth-shaking mountain cry, His Majesty the Emperor's deep gaze gradually approached from the endless mountains in the distance, and fell to the thousands of people kneeling on the ground in front of them; A pair of dragon eyes of the Son of Heaven swept past the prince Xiao Changyao in a yuan suit, swept past the nervous and restless Yuzhang King Xiao Changche, and also swept over Situ Xie Hao of Zhilan Yushu, and finally landed indifferently on Xiao Changling's handsome and cold face, Xiao Long first noticed that this kid's face had a touch of joy that was not easy to be noticed, but he couldn't hide it from the eyes of the Great Zhou Tianzi.
The nobles sang loudly, and after the mountain below shouted and bowed, Xiao Long raised his arm first, signaled everyone to sit down in order, and then looked at the golden cup on the case.
In order to hold this birthday banquet, the furnishings in front of the Chenglin Palace have a new look. Those who are eligible to participate in the birthday banquet are seated on both sides of the platform according to their respective ranks, with the men of the clan living on the left seat, while the female dependents of the princes and nobles are separated from the curtain by a low mica golden thread screen and a curtain of beads, and are seated in a separate area in front of the right side of the golden steps; As for the seats of the civil and military officials, they were all divided into left and right according to the level of their rank, and the lower the rank, the farther the seat from the throne, and those officials below the fifth rank did not even have the qualifications to participate in the banquet, so they could only stand quietly in the middle of the square like a large number of royal forest troops.
First of all, sitting in the first row of the emperor and queen are the crown prince Xiao Changyao and the crown princess Cao Qingxi; Xiao Changling's seat is listed in the first seat of the kings of the clan, only under the seat of the crown prince, followed by Xiao Changche, King of Yuzhang, Xiao Longxu, King of Chu, Xiao Longqing, King of Han, Xiao Longan, King of Song and other princes.
At the same time, as a veritable leader of Shilin and the leader of the literary world, Xie Hao's seat was arranged at the top of the hundred official sequences, and then the young children of the Zhongshu Menxia, the six Shangshu, and the two major families of Chenjun Xie and Langya Wang gradually sat down.
On the west side of the platform, there is a thin gauze curtain, and the back is full of girls from various noble mansions in Shangjing, such as Li Yan, Ling Zhilan, Ming Yurou, and Xiao Yuchan, the only daughter of King Longxu of Chu, the county lord of Huayang, and the three county lords of Longqing, King of Han, are all sitting behind the curtain at this moment, of course, this also includes Xie Wanxin, who is wearing a water blue Luo skirt and a little powder.
But I saw that the seats where the ladies were slightly surrounded by screen curtains, Xie Wanxin sat upright with makeup, demure and elegant, with a water-blue Luo skirt on her body, and the fairy robe fluttering, which more and more reflected the tenderness of the girl; She sat quietly behind the curtain, not moving, even the red coral beads hanging down on her forehead, there was not half a wisp of purification, the whole person was slender and slender, like a weak willow supporting the wind, slim and elegant.
Xie Wanxin sat behind the curtain, her eyes as clear as autumn water, now turned into a warm spring breeze, floating out of the curtain; Suddenly, a tall and upright figure in white appeared in front of Xie Wanxin's soft eyes, Xiao Changling's handsome appearance, resolute outline, and blazing eyes, like the strings on the guqin, stirring the girl's budding spring heart, like the sound of a clear flute, teasing the deer that Miss Xie Si's heart was bumping in.
In front of the Chenglin Palace, the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty was high, wearing a dark twelve chapters of the emperor's robe, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, and a full twelve strings of white jade beads, which slowly hung down, covering half of His Majesty's face; Xiao Long sat upright first, his eyes were not angry and arrogant, and he looked around at the royal relatives and relatives in the audience.
Today, except for Xiao Yingxue, the princess of Pingyang, who was in charge of the troops in the west and did not return to Beijing, almost all the princes and important ministers in the capital have arrived, and no one is absent.
Xiao Long first picked up the golden cup, slightly faced everyone present, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is my birthday, I will prepare a glass of wine and drink it with you."
Everyone raised their glasses in unison, and loudly congratulated the Holy Son of Heaven for a thousand years, and then drank it all; At the same time, Xiao Changling also smiled faintly, looked at his father on the dragon throne with a calm look, and not long after meeting with the dark gaze of Emperor Lao Tzu, he gently raised the wine glass in front of the case, only tilted his head slightly, and then drank all the purple and red wine in the cup, and there was not a drop left.
"Sword Dance, up—"
In a moment, the huge and wide square, the drums sounded in unison, and the strings were around.
In an instant, dozens of dancers in military uniforms, accompanied by sonorous syllables, walked into the middle of the square, ready to dance at any time; Compared with those enchanting and colorful court musicians, these dozens of dancing girls are different and have a unique charm. Looking at them from a distance, I saw that they looked like a city, with graceful postures, all of them wearing light armor in the army, holding soft swords, and they had the style of heroines.
This kind of dance is the large-scale song and dance ,——"Women's Sword Dance" that was famous in Jinghua back then, and it once made Fanbang in the Western Regions extremely breathtaking, and the shooting was amazing.
The sword dance begins.
The moon-white screen covers the faces of those beautiful dancing girls, but the slender shadows seem more and more mysterious, making people want to remove the screen, get a glimpse of the beautiful faces, and compete for the style of the dancing girls.
Accompanied by the melodies one after another, the dancers moved their steps, and the elegance was peerless. They danced the sword, walked to the extreme, wrapped their hands in red silk, tied swords at the end, followed the rhythm of the drums, and launched an indescribably beautiful sword dance.
Under the watchful eye, dozens of sassy dancing girls, holding soft swords in their hands, stopped in the air, danced with streamers, their skirts were flying, and the long swords in their hands exuded bursts of sword light, setting off their dancing steps; They danced with their wrists and swords,...... That Miaoman's clear posture is like clouds rolling up and clouds are shu, and the dance is unknown.
At this moment, all the people present, from the respected emperor and queen, down to the ministers of the clan, and then to the more than a thousand royal forest soldiers standing in armor, seem to have countless pairs of eyes, staring at their light and vigorous dancing, only to feel that at this grand event, the lights in front of the palace are brilliant, and they are transformed into the Qiluo attic; A large piece of narrow-sleeved cloth clothes, in an instant, transformed into a seven-fold brocade robe, the brilliance of which amazed the world.
Out of the dust like a fairy, proud of the world and independent, like a fairy Qiong descending to earth, people dare not force their eyes, and suddenly feel a burst of splendor in front of them; The purple clothes are floating in the wind, the long hair is pouring down, the purple shirt is like a flower, and the long sword is better than the snow, all of which are indescribably elegant.
This section of the sword dance, although between the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes, is all cold and charming, and the gaps in its body points, picks, leg lifts, sleeves, and rotations seem to be flowing water; Accompanied by this somber drum music, there are pauses and closings, not so much like a sword dance, but like a sacrificial dance, more like a person drawing a sword and dancing.
Full of sword energy!
The cool breeze hit, Xiao Changling's hair was tied with a crown of white jade hair, and a long white scarf hung from the eaves of the crown, swaying gently with the wind, as if with a brush like a rafter, adding a touch of cold to the dark night, even if he stood on the flat ground and glanced up, it was still so eye-catching.
An ink-colored cloak on his shoulders, lined with a white coat inside, wraps the tall figure of the lord of Jingbei; Xiao Changling's angular face is always calm, there is no expression in it, no joy or sorrow, a pair of eyes as sharp as a snow bright cold knife, looking at the female sword dance of His Royal Highness Chenglin, deep in the clear eyes, slowly oozing out of the cold air, and then instantly recovered, into a silent ethereal realm.
Looking at this beautiful sword dance, Xiao Changling's eyes were faintly revealed, and a picture of overlapping movement and stillness emerged:
A round of bright moon, the moon is like water, walking back and forth between the clouds, the sky is full of clouds, chasing the light footprints of the moon, a fairy in the sky, from the Yuehua Palace walked out, leaving a body of tenderness.
Her wide long sleeves, carrying the affection of the clouds, weave the sky into a colorful cloud brocade; Her body, sprinkled with silver-white moonlight, cut out a bright neon on the night side of the splendid Magpie Bridge of the stars and Han, hanging horizontally in the sky.
Gradually, this neon light converged into a touch of sword qi in an instant; That sword qi, as if it was a sigh from heaven and earth, struck Xiao Changling's heartstrings that had been silent for a long time, and it was never broken.
As a result, the boundless sky suddenly became chaotic, and in a trance, Xiao Changling seemed to feel that he had pulled out his long sword with a dark and heavy body called "Chengying" from the depths of the scabbard, jumped into the air, and was dancing with Wan'er.
His long sword slashed through the clouds and mountains and fog mountains, and slashed a bolt of lightning between the sky and the earth; His long sword stabbed at the clouds and rain waves, awakening bursts of thunder in the depths of the universe and the galaxy.
Xiao Changling's sword and Xie Wanxin's rainbow cloud Xiu were intertwined. His Royal Highness King Qin's masculine physique, surrounded by Miss Xie Si's graceful shadow, condensed together with each other; Xiao Changling's flaming gaze and Xie Wanxin's autumn-like eyes gently collided together, sparking a faint spark.
At this time, in the depths of Xiao Changling's mind, he turned his body into a giant dragon, and Xie Wanxin beside her was clearly the colorful phoenix that was close to her.
The lightning suddenly rose, Xiao Changling held the sword in his backhand, stretched out his broad right hand, took Xie Wan's long sleeves, and spun rapidly, flipped over, and coiled; In the flowing clouds, the breeze brought by Xie Wanxin's dancing posture made a burst of sound at the top of Xiao Changling's snow-like sword blade, which was the clear sound of the summer wind sweeping through the bamboo forest, and the dazzling of the heavenly maiden scattering flowers. ……
The whole Phoenix Mountain, you can see the splendor and splendor here.
In the entire Phoenix Temple, you can hear the magnificent sound of heaven.
……
The sword dance is over.
The Son of Heaven was happy, and the crown prince led the clan to bow down again, shouting in unison.
"His Majesty the Emperor has a long life!"
The sound came and went, and the sound pierced the sky, shocking the birds homecoming.
Emperor Xuan picked up the wine glass and slowly stood up from the throne, and the twelve beads on the crown of the Son of Heaven swayed gently from side to side when the wind blew; Seeing this, the eunuchs on both sides wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by Emperor Xuan raising his hand. Xiao Longxian, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in a robe, walked to the platform generously and heroically, and said loudly.
"All Aiqing, I, young from Rong, since the Xingshi conquest, and the country to eliminate the evil, vowed to sweep the four seas, flatten the world; What has not been obtained nowadays is only a corner of Chu and Yan, and it has not yet been recovered. Today, I am a big week, with a million, and I rely on the lives of the public, why can't I succeed! After Pingchu extinguishes Yan, there will be no war in the world, and I should share the wealth with the people, so as to enjoy peace. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the world-recognized most powerful king today looked up to the sky and laughed, and drank a cup of Zhongshou wine.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
In an instant, thousands of people raised their arms, and the mountains roared and the tsunami seemed to devour countless living beings in this world.
After three rounds of drinking, the kings of the clan, the civil and military ministers, and the major meritorious relatives began to take turns to present birthday gifts to His Majesty the Emperor.
Some people offer the priceless "Nine Dragons Sword", some people offer the goose egg-sized night pearl of the West Sea, some people offer the jade Ruyi made of the best Lantian jade in the Western Regions, some people offer the crane purple carved gold vase made of pure gold, and some people offer the golden body of the "Ma Chao Dragon Sparrow" carefully carved by the blue coral of the East China Sea, and there are ink unicorns, Pixiu, Xuanwu ornaments, various colors of pearls and jade, Shu brocade, silk and other heavy gifts, and there are countless more.
As for the gifts of the harem concubines, princes and daughters, and the wives of the command, they are decent, abide by the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, and there is no slightest transgression; For example, the birthday gift of Queen Dugu Yuanji is a full four volumes of more than 5,000 words, the whole article is written in Xianbei characters "King Kong Prajna Sutra", Yuzhang Wang's biological mother Shufei Yang, the congratulatory gift is a pair of jade watermelons, the daughter of the king of Chu, the lord of Huayang County, Xiao Yuchan, dedicated a box of topaz produced in Jingzhou, Li Yan offered a set of chrysanthemum pillows, Ling Zhilan presented her own research and development of "water agarwood", Ming Yurou dedicated a group of five hymns......
Xiao Yingxue, the princess of Pingyang, as the commander of the western border, although she was far away in Ganliang and commanded 100,000 troops in the western part of the town, was not in Shangjing, but she also sent an envoy to send a birthday gift: five good horses from the Western Regions, tall and mighty, strong and tight bones - "Jade Lion in the Night".
After everyone finished offering gifts, the next thing was the birthday gift of Prince Xiao Changyao.
The crown prince's birthday gift is a long scroll, which at first glance looks unremarkable; However, when the two waiters in the Yellow Gate slowly unfolded, everyone's eyes were deeply attracted almost at the same moment.
It turned out that this was a handwritten handwriting by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - "He Shengtianzi Descended to Thousands of Autumns and Blessings and Longevity"; I saw that on the long scroll map, on the white rice paper, although it was ordinary paper and ordinary ink, the handwriting was beautiful and open, and the pen was strong.
"Landian Qianqiu, the name is longevity.
The wind spreads the earth, and the day is auspicious.
Yuyu flowers bloom, and it is advisable to move Huichang.
Dressed egrets, the curtain is not young.
Left into a new custom, the old chapter of the court.
Moon title flower glasses, dewed silk sac.
Ancestral hall Tianzu, feast on the cane township.
Ponder the holy virtues and get ten thousand people's health. ”
Xiao Changyao stood up, slightly facing the throne in front of him, and bowed long.
"Father, the son has always heard that the father has a lot of opportunities, how magnificent and beautiful the Great Zhou Dynasty is, and the father and emperor sleep at night, worry about state affairs, and never have time to enjoy the tour, so the son's handwritten book is dedicated to the father, and the heart of the son is inch."
The emperor's face was still as calm as before, but he glanced at the scroll of the prince's handwriting, and the wrinkles on his face quietly unfolded slightly.
"Okay, the prince has a heart." Xiao Long raised his hand lightly and motioned left and right to take the scroll.
After the crown prince finished his birthday gift, Situ Xie Hao, who was the third prince of the dynasty, also slowly stood up; At present, this Shilin leader, who was once known as the "Jade Bi of the Xie Family" by the world in the year of the weak crown, has a long body and a jade body, with an elegant posture of the current Wenzong, his sleeves are spread flat, and he makes a big gift in a dignified manner.
"Your Majesty, today is Your Majesty's Thousand Autumns Holy Birthday, the whole world celebrates, and the minister has also prepared a small gift, which I want to offer to Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will accept it with a smile."
Xiao Long put down the golden cup first, and with a pair of deep eyes in the dragon's eyes, he looked straight at the head of the Xie family who was supporting him in his youth, with a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
"Wende, you are my best friend when I was in the palace, I am a prince and a minister with you, and I love you more than brothers, and I must appreciate the gift you offer."
"Yes, Your Majesty, bring it up!" Xie Hao bowed, and then beckoned gently.
Soon, two or three golden-armored royal forest soldiers, carrying a beautiful screen, walked to the front of the Son of Heaven; It was a six-leaf red sandalwood inlaid gold glass screen, with a few lines of ink-drenched poems inscribed on it, and the ink fragrance was still strong, and it was written by Xie Hao, the leader of the literary world.
Of course, the most eye-catching, is really not Xie Hao's inscription poem, but the screen embroidered on the picture of the blue pond autumn lotus, in a strict sense, this is not a painting, but the real sense of embroidery, embroidered on the long silk silk on the screen, although it looks ordinary, but take a closer look, you can find that it is different from the general silk, not only the color is smooth, the stitching is delicate and flexible, and the style is so elegant and noble:
Although the autumn lotus in the painting is embroidered with needle and thread, it also outlines the lotus canopy and the lotus leaf, reflecting the tide, the clouds bring rain, and the romantic mood blooming in the pond just reflects the artistic conception of the poem in the painting.
Emperor Xuan sat on the throne, staring at the Qing poems and autumn lotus on the screen, the more he looked, the more fascinated he became, "It's closer." When the screen was presented to the front of the emperor, Emperor Xuan leaned over and stroked it with his hand, only to feel extremely comfortable.
"What is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is made by the little girl for His Majesty Qianqiu, a small courtesy, not a tribute, and I hope Your Majesty will not dislike it." Xie Haoshu said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Longxian suddenly smiled, and he had no imperial prestige.
"Oh? Could it be the four girls of the Wende family, what a pair of skillful hands! ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, it is the little girl." Immediately afterwards, Xie Hao turned his head, looked at the gauze curtain where the ladies gathered, and said softly.
"I haven't seen Your Majesty yet."
The curtain slowly opened.
When she heard her father's familiar voice, Xie Wanxin, who had been sitting quietly behind the curtain before, finally straightened the cloud sleeves of the water-blue long dress, and her long black and bright hair flowed behind her like a flowing cloud bun, and she got up after a long time; Between the swaying skirts, she has stepped out of the brocade screen curtain, and slowly walked to the red carpet in front of the palace, standing with a smile, as if a fairy is about to descend to earth.
At this moment, everyone's eyes during the banquet all converged on this beautiful girl, Miss Xie Si, who stood in front of the palace, was dressed in a water blue Luo skirt, which was particularly conspicuous, and the white jade hairpin embellished on the fresh and marked Liuyun bun was shining under the light of the autumn sun, as if the water hibiscus was as delicate and dusty, and the delicate and bright appearance showed the peach blossoms on the human face, which was pitiful.
When Xie Wanxin slowly walked to the front of the palace, Xiao Changling's gaze met early with Wan'er's bright eyes full of tenderness; All kinds of feelings, all kinds of tenderness, are between the two of them staring at each other, gently lingering, condensing into a rippling mirror lake, as soon as the wind rolls, it can create a circle of ripples, until it occupies their hearts.
However, the instantaneous gaze flashed away, and the two people who were affectionate immediately withdrew their gaze; The hard lines of Xiao Changling's lip arc suddenly closed inward, revealing a bright smile and dispelling the dense layers of fog in the Phoenix Mountain.
At the same time, Xiao Changyao's clear eyes also fell on Xie Wanxin unconsciously; At this moment, the crown prince's pupils shrank, his eyes gradually emptied, and he fell into a never-ending blur.
Xiao Changyao recognized it, she was the woman he had just seen on the Phoenix Temple, it turned out that she was Xie Situ's beloved daughter, Miss Xie Si, who was the best in Beijing, and a beautiful shadow that moved the world crashed into the depths of the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ning Lonely.
However, when he saw that the woman he had been longing for a long time was quietly staring at Xiao Changling's fair face with a girl's innocent gaze, and Xiao Changling was also looking at her with his warm and spring-like eyes, Xiao Changyao's eyebrows suddenly rose a layer of coldness, which was so cold and piercing.
Xie Wanxin was still unaware at the moment, and the affectionate eyes of the two men locked on his body at the same time; These two men are not only the brothers of the same mother, but also the fierce rivals who manipulate the general trend of the world, and they are the two most dazzling men in today's world. For Xie Wanxin, who was just beginning to fall in love, she didn't know that this pair of unborn brothers from the heavenly family would become the two most important men in her life.
"Courtiers Xie Wanxin, see Your Majesty, Your Majesty has no end in time, and there is no end to happiness-" Xie Wanxin knelt down slowly, bowed slightly, and said softly.
"Four girls." His Majesty the Emperor on the throne put down the golden cup in his hand and calmly stared at the girl in Tsing Yi in front of him, with an indifferent smile floating on the corner of his mouth.
Facing the heavy and direct gaze of the Son of Heaven, Xie Wanxin proudly raised her thin chin, and her face was still clear on the jade face of the beautiful woman.
"Your Majesty recognizes the courtier?"
Emperor Xuan clapped his palms, first looked at the red-clothed queen beside him, and then glanced at Xiao Changling, who was dressed in white and snowy, and immediately laughed.
"Of course I know you, Erlang has mentioned you in front of me more than once, and the queen must have seen you. Oh...... by the way, I remember when you were born, I hugged you, I didn't expect it, I became a big girl in a blink of an eye. ”
Xie Wan smiled shyly, and the girl's ice and jade cleanliness became more and more set off.
By this time, everyone had basically finished their birthday gifts, and the emperor's eyes fell lightly on a young man dressed in white; At the end of the Great Zhou Emperor's sharp sight, Xiao Changling sat alone in front of the wine case, his hands were flat according to the pattern of the case, the two heroic sword eyebrows, condensing the sword qi of the cold soul, as if a sword could cut the shackles of the troubled times, and with the cheeks that had covered the murderous aura and frost for a long time, a chilling awe-inspiring aura gradually erupted.
Seeing that Xiao Changling was so calm, His Majesty the Emperor's face showed a dazzling majesty and power.
"Erlang, don't you have anything to say to your father?!"
Suddenly, Xiao Changling raised his head proudly, and his black and white eyes, like a rain of arrows pouring down from the sky, shrouded His Majesty the Emperor, who was in the supreme heavenly position, called the lonely and widowed for several years, and commanded the thousands of people of the Great Zhou, and slowly evoked a smile on his lips, sweeping away the warm spring before, and it was quiet and unwavering.
……
In front of the Chenglin Palace, the singing and dancing are still the same, and the father and son of the heavenly family are speechless.
