Giving seats, opening banquets, singing and dancing, and palace banquets are all a process. The Qianqiu Banquet is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and there is one more section, that is, the birthday.

First of all, the emperor led the palace concubines to congratulate the Empress Dowager for a thousand years, and Feng Li watched it with relish. The last time he participated in the palace birthday banquet was before he joined the army, when he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he couldn't watch too much excitement when he sat back. This time it's different, sitting at the front, you can see everything clearly.

He sighed while watching: "There are not many people in the emperor's harem." ”

"Be careful." Zhou Zhaoning frowned, who taught him to comment on this at the palace banquet.

Feng Li frowned when he saw him, and immediately misunderstood again. I thought that I was too fast-talking, how could I talk about Feng Luan's harem in front of Zhou Zhaoning, which is the harem concubine, this is all a thorn rooted in the heart of the regent! Especially the first two, Concubine Zheng Guifei is the daughter of the Hou Mansion and is noble, and Concubine Lin Chun is the favorite concubine of the Qiandi, and I heard that the harem is favored.

Tsk, so just now Zhou Zhaoning pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and said that Zheng Guifei was guts, and he was not wrong. Not a dog's guts? Concubine Lin Chun is even more domineering his sweetheart.

Zhou Zhaoning didn't know that Feng Li had already made up a sadomasochistic drama in his brain, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he still felt that he was obedient today, but he didn't know that Feng Li was sighing for his "forbidden love".

The emperor's concubine congratulated the regent and led the ministers to celebrate his birthday, and he was separated from this unofficial and titleless person in it. Then the eldest princess who has been married and the nobles celebrate their birthdays. At the end of this string, the palace teacher priest performed and everyone feasted.

The Teaching Workshop Division also worked hard for this Qianqiu banquet, vowing to show his housekeeping skills at the palace banquet of the new monarch, and choreographed a lot of new dances, new songs and acrobatics.

The opening song and dance is followed by rope skills, the trick is superb, walking on the rope as if walking on the ground, making many dangerous movements, so that the audience is amazed. Seeing the excitement in the field, the director of the teaching workshop was happy, thinking that the queen mother and the emperor would have a reward, so he heard that the emperor interrupted the performance and did not let the next show appear.

"Brother Seven Emperors, I just looked at the gift list, and the gift prepared by the Regent's Mansion is very satisfying, but there is still a congratulatory gift missing."

He asked, "Really?" Why can't I remember what's missing, which one? ”

"The Seventh Emperor Brother said before that he would personally perform to congratulate his mother on her birthday, but now that the Thousand Autumn Banquet has arrived, what else does the Imperial Brother sell."

The emperor thought simply, what talent can he do for the ten-year closure of the seal, that is, there is, I am afraid it is also a fox technique.

Feng Lile, is this to catch the duck on the shelves and make him make a fool of himself? He had never said such a thing, but the emperor said everything he said, and he believed it all over the audience, and in the name of filial piety, he couldn't go up?

It's a good conspiracy, thinking that you can take care of him in this way?

Feng Li pulled his lips and smiled, saluted the queen mother, and replied directly: "Queen mother, the son has never said it." ”

Before the queen mother opened Chrysostom, the emperor snatched the words when he heard it: "Brother Huang means that I am telling lies?" ”

He originally wanted to show filial piety today, but with the regent maintaining the seal in front of him, he had long forgotten about it.

Feng Li didn't look very good when she saw the Queen Mother, she was the winner of the struggle of the previous generation in the harem, and this little trick couldn't hide it from her. Feng Li can imagine that she lives in seclusion in the deep palace and does not fight for power, but what she wants to see is not that she is still used as a raft by the emperor on the birthday banquet.

Therefore, Feng Li ignored the emperor at all and only looked at the queen mother.

"Queen Mother, although the sons and daughters have not prepared any talents to offer, but the birthday gifts are all personally selected, do you like it?"

Immediately, a female official opened the gift list of the Regent's Palace, and the Queen Mother swept it and smiled again. There are all kinds of treasures on the gift list, and there are a few things that she is very familiar with, and she knows that they are good objects that the palace rewarded the eldest princess of Pingjia back then.

"I have a heart, it seems that the regent and you are Qin Se and Ming."

This is the first time that the Queen Mother is talking to someone alone today, and for a while, everyone's gaze at Feng Li has changed subtly.

Feng Li glanced at Zhou Zhaoning with a smile, put a chopstick dish into his plate, and said, "It's the prince who loves me." ”

Hearing this, there was no trace of a smile on the emperor's face.

"Brother Seven Emperors, it seems that it is fun to tease me, right? I told me before that I wanted to perform, and I was full of interest to build a platform for you to pave the way, but you flatly denied it, which really made me ......"

"Chilling?" Feng Li directly snatched his words, "Don't be cold, the emperor, otherwise I, the elder brother, will be distressed." ”

Feng Li smiled heartlessly, not afraid of the emperor's majesty. He is not what he used to be, but now he has reached a cooperative seal with the regent, and the one who is sitting with him says that he will protect him, so that he is not afraid of an emperor who is not pro-government.

"Although I really didn't say this, but since the emperor is unhappy, of course the elder brother must be compassionate. It's just that my talent is mediocre, don't dislike it. ”

The queen mother saw that the emperor who used him as a raft was deflated, and she was interested, and asked Feng Li what kind of talent he was.

Zhou Zhaoning thought that he was going to dance the sword, and thought that this talent was worth watching, and he would not lose his reputation. Today's Qianqiu banquet, he can't go to the palace with a sword, but unfortunately, he can only let Feng Li use the sword in the palace.

Feng Li seemed to understand his eyes, shook his head at him, and got up to come to the field.

"Is the musician there? Borrow a flute for use. ”

There were indeed flute musicians present, but how dare they give their instruments to the prince. The Queen Mother gave a look, and immediately a female official took another jade flute and gave it to Feng Li.

"Good flute." Feng Li exclaimed, and played without saying much.

At first, no one really wanted to hear anything good, and the flute was not a common solo instrument at the feast, and the children of the family loved the sound of the piano alone. The first sound of the wind was captured.

The sound of the flute is faint and desolate, and the first sound brings people into the vast border. The sound of the flute is flowing and flowing, such as the sound of the ring, the ears are full of joy, and the song played does not know what to call, sometimes subtle and deep, sometimes cheerful and exquisite, fascinating.

At the end of the song, the lover is still in the song, and he only feels that the aftertaste is long.

It was obviously a song that was not suitable for the festive atmosphere of the birthday banquet, but the Queen Mother listened to it so intoxicatedly that her eyes were wet.

"Why haven't you heard this tune?" The Queen Mother wiped her tears and asked.

"It's normal that the queen mother hasn't heard of it, it's made by her son, and it's played with."

"Oh? What is it called? ”

"Homesickness."

This was done when he was stationed in northern Xinjiang, he loved the boundless grasslands of northern Xinjiang, but he also missed the prosperity and bustle of his hometown. But now when it is played and the name of the song is spoken, it makes people feel differently.

Without him, this song is also in line with the state of mind of the first emperor's seven sons hostage.

The Queen Mother was already touched by the music, and as soon as this name came out, she remembered not only the hardships of being separated from the hostage for ten years, but also his own son under the Nine Springs.

"Li'er, you are a good boy, you have suffered in Beiliang all these years."

The Queen Mother made a verdict, even if the emperor is dissatisfied at the Qianqiu banquet, he can no longer find fault with the performance.

Feng Li retreated, and when he returned to the banquet, he winked at Zhou Zhaoning, those eyes were like a puppy.

"I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

"Hmm." Zhou Zhaoning took a sip of wine and nodded.

"Hey, it's hard to praise me like gold like this?"

Zhou Zhaoning didn't answer, he was afraid that he would praise him, this person can fly to the sky. After all, his playing today not only touched the Queen Mother, but also reminded him of the past when he went on the expedition with his father when he was young.

The emperor thought that it would be over when he left the limelight, but he didn't expect that some young talents were aroused by the distant sound of the flute and took the initiative to come out to perform martial arts.

First, there were two people who competed in the sword, and then three more who competed in archery. The queen mother was very happy, but the emperor was very dissatisfied, did these children of the family treat the Qianqiu banquet as their own home?

The emperor was so angry that he thought that this was all caused by Feng Li.

"Today is the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Banquet, and you must not be presumptuous. Ten days later, it's autumn hunting, and if you want to compete, you have a chance. The emperor said that he had an idea, "Don't you all think that the sound of the Seven Emperor Brothers' flute is loud and powerful, and you can learn a thing or two with the Seven Emperor Brothers during the autumn hunt." ”

The emperor knew that his martial arts were not high, and it was impossible for Beiliang to arrange a martial artist to teach him proton martial arts.

"Brother Seventh Emperor, you must come to the autumn hunt, how can you look like a man in the palace all day long."

Feng Li was funny to hear, the idea of suppressing him was really endless.

"That's natural, this lively foolish brother must go. Mainly, it is a trivial matter whether I can hunt or not, and the prince has outstanding martial arts, and he will definitely hunt tiger skin and bear paws for me to enjoy. ”

The emperor's face sank like water, but the ladies on the opposite side looked golden. I can't imagine that the regent is so fond of his wife, the prince and the princess, they are really beautiful, they are really a good match!

When everyone was looking at the regent and his wife, Concubine Lin Chun's eyes fell on the emperor, and she hurriedly lowered her head and shrank silently.
