After three rounds of drinking, Zhen Huan felt a little bored, so she said something to An Lingrong and left.

An Lingrong ate some of the food in front of her, thought for a moment and whispered: "Baoyu, ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send some ice to Concubine Duan. The weather is too hot, be careful of heatstroke." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Concubine Hua. Well, that's good, the future boss didn't notice.

After all, Concubine Duan has met Zhen Huan now. An Lingrong is not sure whether Concubine Duan will help her in the future. She just hopes that she will not forget the help An Lingrong once gave her.

Watching the singing and dancing in front of them, because An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were pregnant, they were not served wine. Shen Meizhuang had her favorite sour plum soup, while An Lingrong had spicy hot soup with chili peppers. One sour and one spicy.

An Lingrong also suggested that they take turns to try it, and Shen Meizhuang agreed with a smile. After they took a sip, An Lingrong closed her eyes because of the sourness, while Shen Meizhuang coughed because of the spiciness.

The emperor and empress who were sitting above also laughed when they saw this scene. The two of them quickly switched places. Shen Meizhuang quickly drank half a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the spiciness, while An Lingrong quickly drank a mouthful of spicy soup to neutralize it.

Everyone also saw Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong taking turns drinking, and they were amused by their actions. After Shen Meizhuang recovered, she smiled and said, "No, Rong'er's drink is too spicy. How much chili did you put in it?"

"Sister, what you drink is too sour. I really can't drink it either." An Lingrong also smiled and waved her hand.

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "Rou Guiren and Hui Guiren are sour and spicy, but Hui Guiren should take care of her body and not be like Rou Guiren, who burned moxa every three months."

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's face changed immediately. Concubine Qi was an idiot. She was talking about things that were not relevant.

"Concubine Qi." The Queen also saw that the Emperor was unhappy and hurried to stop him. Concubine Qi also realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered her head and shut up.

The emperor looked at An Lingrong drinking Hu La Tang and secretly decided to pray more to his ancestors.

After a while, Baoyu came back and whispered something in An Lingrong's ear. An Lingrong was shocked. This Prince Guo was so bold that he couldn't read women's scripts. This lecher even praised Zhen Huan for her white feet.

The same goes for Zhen Huan. Could this be her first encounter with Prince Guo?

Just as I thought of this, Zhen Huan came back, looking unhappy. An Lingrong said a few words of symbolic concern, but of course such things could not be said out loud. Zhen Huan said it was okay and continued eating.

Concubine Cao saw that the time was right and suggested drawing lots. It was just for fun, so the Emperor and Empress agreed without saying anything. An Lingrong knew that her stunning dance was about to begin.

Because An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were pregnant, they did not participate. The first person to draw lots was naturally the Queen. Concubine Cao drew a calligraphy. The Queen was the best at calligraphy, so she wrote a "longevity" character on the spot and gave it to the birthday girl Wen Yi. The second person she drew was Zhen Huan. Concubine Cao took out the lot and asked Zhen Huan to do the Jinghong Dance.

Now everyone was talking at once. After all, if the dance was good, it would be stunning, but if it was bad, it would be an imitation of the ugly woman. If it imitated Queen Chunyuan, it would be disrespectful to the late queen. The Tenth Master beside him also added fuel to the fire.

After all, she was dancing in front of so many people, so Zhen Huan was still a little embarrassed: "My sister's dance is really not elegant enough, I'm afraid it will be laughed at."

"If you can't dance, just forget it. Why force yourself?" Concubine Hua said sarcastically.

"Your Majesty, Sister Wan has always been obsessed with poetry and books, and has never paid attention to singing and dancing. I think you might as well compose a poem to celebrate the princess' birthday." Seeing that Zhen Huan was in trouble, Shen Meizhuang hurriedly stood up and spoke.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, the emperor hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "It has been a long time since the palace has performed the Jinghong Dance. I would like to see it, Lady Wan, you can just dance casually."

Now that the emperor had spoken, Zhen Huan had no choice but to bow and accept: "Then please allow me to change my clothes and I will be back in a moment."

After a while, Zhen Huan came in wearing her dancing clothes: "Your Majesty, I have changed my clothes."

In the previous life, it was because An Lingrong herself did not have favor. In addition to wanting to rescue Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang also wanted An Lingrong to perform, so she called An Lingrong at that time.

This time, An Lingrong told Shen Meizhuang in advance that she was going to help Zhen Huan, and they planned that one of them would dance, one would play the piano, and the other would sing.

So when Zhen Huan arrived, Shen Meizhuang immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, ordinary stringed instruments are too vulgar. Why not let me play the zither and Sister Rou sing a song to entertain Lady Wan?"

An Lingrong stood up and said, "Just consider it as a way to celebrate Princess Wen Yi's birthday..."

After hearing this, the emperor said, "Go and get Concubine Shu's Long Xiang Si Qin."

As a qualified wife of the Emperor, the Empress stepped forward to explain the origin of the zither: "On the day when the late Emperor Shufei entered the palace, the late Emperor specially gave her a zither named Chang Xiangsi and a flute named Chang Xiangshou as tokens of love. After the late Emperor passed away, Shufei asked to leave the palace to practice, and the zither and flute remained in the palace. Today is your destiny."

Shen Meizhuang adjusted the music after sitting down. An Lingrong turned around and looked at Shen Meizhuang. The three of them nodded to each other and began.

"As graceful as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon, as glorious as autumn chrysanthemums, as luxuriant as spring pines, as if a light cloud obscures the moon..."

But just like in his previous life, the Tenth Prince said: "Your every move is just like what Queen Chunyuan did back then, nothing new." After hearing this, the Emperor looked directly at the Tenth Prince.

With the sound of a flute, An Lingrong knew that Prince Guo had arrived. Just like in her previous life, Shen Meizhuang tuned the flute twice according to Prince Guo's notes and continued playing the piano.

Because An Lingrong was prepared in this life, she did not just stand there in a daze like she did in her previous life. Instead, she waited for a while and then started singing along.

Sure enough, Zhen Huan then started to dance impromptu. After the dance, although everyone felt it was amazing, the emperor had previously seen Xia Dongchun's sword dance and the stunning dance, as well as An Lingrong's ice skating and the stunning dance, so Zhen Huan's dance was not a big surprise.

But other people had only seen Zhen Huan's stunning dance, so they all felt amazed. The emperor couldn't say that Zhen Huan's dance was not as good as An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun, but he didn't say "I don't know how many surprises you have in your previous life."

"Hahaha, the dance is indeed exquisite, comparable to the best dancing girl in this palace." The Tenth Prince spoke at this time, and it was obvious that he was comparing Zhen Huan to a prostitute who was seeking pleasure.

Prince Guo also spoke up to defend him: "Tenth brother, you are joking. The dance performed by Lady Wan is a true relic of Concubine Mei. When Concubine Mei performed the Jinghong Dance, Emperor Xuanzong called her the Mei Jing. The Jinghong Dance originated from Concubine Mei. Today, the prince can be said to have learned the ancient meaning."

Seeing that Zhen Huan danced very well, Cao Qinmo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please see what I said. Lady Wan is indeed smart and can do things that ordinary people cannot do. I believe that her dancing posture is not inferior to that of Queen Chunyuan back then."

Although the emperor thought Zhen Huan's dance was no longer as amazing, he still rewarded An Lingrong and the other four. However, this time he did not let Zhen Huan sit next to him.

An Lingrong glanced at Concubine Hua twice before sitting down. Sure enough, after a while, Concubine Hua successfully regained her favor with a poem "Loudong Fu".

Looking back now, An Lingrong had to sigh at Cao Qinmo's wisdom. She made two preparations. If Zhen Huan did not dance well, she would belittle Zhen Huan and make her lose the emperor's favor, and Hua Fei would take the opportunity to stand out. If Zhen Huan danced well, Hua Fei would use Lou Dong Fu, anyway, she could regain the emperor's favor.

Although it was a birthday party, it was full of calculations. An Lingrong touched her belly and thought that she didn't want to have such a thing when it came to her children's first birthday parties.

Afterwards, An Lingrong suddenly thought of something, so she called Baoyu over and asked her to get some tapioca flour as she suddenly wanted to eat pearl meatballs.

An Lingrong knew that it would not be long before Princess Wen Yi would vomit milk, and it seemed that Huanbi would betray Zhen Huan at this time.

It was at this time that Concubine Duan came out to help Zhen Huan. Now that Concubine Duan had seen Zhen Huan's appearance, she tried her best to stop Concubine Duan from standing in Zhen Huan's team.

Because the order of these four articles was mixed up, the content of these four articles will be slightly changed, but the changes are not large. I am sorry for the bad reading experience<(_ _)>
