Zhuo Qihua

Yi Lam continued to watch the singing and dancing, while from the corner of his eye he was looking at Shun Yu who was obviously hungry.Beside him is Qin Zhongyi who also came late.Qin Zhongyi has no appetite and is just drinking.Lin Yi picked up his own wine cup, but said: "Why did Your Majesty agree to go with you?" Then he took a sip of wine.

Qin Zhongyi also quickly replied by drinking: "It's about the empress dowager, and it's the Queen Mother's birthday, so how can I not go. If your majesty refuses, I will go too." As for whether your majesty can control it Both Lin Yi and Qin Zhongyi knew it well.

Lam Yik put down the wine cup and pursed his lips tightly.The nature of this matter is completely different from the nature of the treatment of the wounded in Beigu.Edward Lam was also unhappy.What made him even more frustrated was that he had saved the lives of three people in the Shao Mansion, but he couldn't say anything about it, and he had to use other excuses to cover up the matter.Sui Guogong and Chang'an Hou sat together.Although the Marquis of Anding is also a Lord Marquis, the current status of the Marquis of Anding is not as good as that of the Marquis of Chang'an, so Liu Tong, the Marquis of Anding, is still at the head of Marquis Qin Su of Chang'an, and the Grand Master Shao is just below.

Liu Tong felt very uncomfortable.Because of Qin Zhongyi, Qin Su gained the trust of Shun Shun, and Qin Su's current status has also risen with the tide.Look at yourself.Not only did Liu Xizhu, the grandson of the first wife, fail to give birth to a son and a half daughter after entering the palace, but she also seemed to have offended Ming Yu.It would be fine if Liu Xizhu was not favored all the time, what Liu Tong is worried about now is that Liu Xizhu won't provoke wrath.He also couldn't figure out why Ming Xie could not get along with Andinghou's mansion.Liu Tong was naturally angry, but now the Lin family has received a lot of grace, and His Majesty has become much colder towards the Andinghou's Mansion. Under such circumstances, he dare not do anything more.

On the Evergreen Festival, Lin Yi hurried back to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, and he also had something to report to His Majesty in person.Edward Lam returned to the capital last night.Emperor Yong'an was in Xiangfu Palace, so he was not announced to enter the palace.After the Evergreen Festival, Edward Lam had to rush back to North Valley. In mid-September at the latest, that is, in the middle of next month, the North Valley frontier army would launch the final general attack on Tarkin's troops.Lin Yi is not the coach, and returning to Beijing halfway will not affect the situation in Beigu.

Zhuo Ji, who suppressed the famine, slowed down the speed of eating.Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, he raised his eyes and saw Lin Xieshan who was sitting opposite the concubine behind him. Lin Xieshan had obviously been paying attention to the concubine, and he bent slightly to show his respect.Zhuo Ji blinked his eyes, glanced away, and saw Yi Lin with surprise in his eyes. The other party had obviously been paying attention to this side, and bowed slightly to salute.

Zhuo Ji tilted his head: "Has Lin Dutong returned to Beijing?"

Deguixie: "It seems that I came back last night to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. I must have something important to report to Your Majesty. I only found out when Mrs. Sui Guogong entered the palace to celebrate her birthday."

Zhuo Ji nodded, did not respond to Sui Guogong and Lin Yi in particular, and continued to eat and drink with his head down.In the presence of such ministers, he always avoided getting involved with them.Lin Xieshan and Lin Yi knew how much Zuo avoided suspicion towards them, so they also looked away.

After a dance was over, Nan Rong Shizhu hurried in from the outside with a happy face. When he got to the middle, he knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "The Empress Dowager, the ministers are happy to announce that the concubine has given birth to a son safely and congratulates the Empress Dowager on her birthday!"

"Hahaha..." The queen mother was very happy, "Great joy, great joy! I am so happy today. How is the crown prince now?"

Nan Rong Shizhu raised his head and said excitedly: "When the concubine concubine gave birth to a child, the servants immediately went to the palace to announce the good news. The concubine concubine gave birth very smoothly, this is the blessing of the empress dowager."

Empress Dowager: "You're wrong, you don't wait for Shi Zifei to confirm that she is safe before entering the palace to announce the good news." The queen mother turned her head, "Gu Shen, you send someone to Wu Shao Palace to guard Shi Zifei."

"Yes."

King Wu Shao went out, knelt down and kowtowed: "I thank the Queen Mother for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong'an: "On the Empress Dowager's birthday, Wu Shao Wang's Mansion was delighted to have Lin'er. It is a joy. It is also a joy to have a pair of Lin'er in the Grand Master's Mansion. It can be said to be a double happiness. Shi Li's words are right, this is the Queen Mother's gift." Fuze. Give..."

Emperor Yong'an distributed a lot of rewards to Wu Shao Palace and Shao Mansion, but many people frowned in their hearts.Lin Xieshan, Lin Yi, Qin Su, Qin Zhongyi, Shi Yu, Guan Minghui... those ministers who had accompanied His Majesty to the North Valley and knew the ability of Shungu all frowned in their hearts.The Shao family all came out to thank them, but Grand Master Shao and Shao Pingqiu both understood that His Majesty gave them the decency that the Shao family deserved for the sake of King Qin, but the Shao family also needed to make a statement on this matter.

Few people knew about Huang Guixie kneeling in Taoyuan Pavilion, only Feng Xi told Zhuo Ji, and neither the Queen Mother nor Deguixie knew about it.But De Guixie just felt that this matter was not as simple as His Majesty showed. With His Majesty's love for Zhuo Ji, His Majesty would not just understate it and reward Shao's family heavily.I just don't know what His Majesty will do.

No matter what everyone's thoughts were, at least on the surface, the atmosphere of the birthday banquet was very warm.As night fell, the birthday banquet was coming to an end, and the performances of Baixifang were also over.Wang Bao, who was specially dressed up, walked over with Aunt Hua holding a piano.The two knelt down: "My maidservant wishes the Empress Dowager to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan—"

Wang Bao kowtowed: "Both servants and maidservants have to obey the order of the queen mother to present a song for the empress dowager."

Queen Mother: "Okay, get up."

Wang Bao and Aunt Hua kowtowed and stood up.Wang Bao sat down and got ready to play the piano, while Aunt Hua stood still.She was wearing a dance dress, obviously going to dance.But just now Wang Bao said that he would present a song, but not a dance. Everyone thought that he was too nervous and made a mistake.

Zhuo Ji gave them an encouraging look, Wang Bao took a deep breath, and plucked the strings with his fingers.A tune that no one had heard before played, and after the prelude, Wang Bao's mouth opened.

"The engraving is good, on the heart of each eyebrow... through thinking in the painting..." Aunt Hua danced along with the sound of the piano and singing.

"It's stained, the ink is dripping, and the thousands of family texts are all yellowing... The night is quiet, and the window screen is slightly bright..."

"Dancing with sleeves and dancing in the dream is charming... Lovesickness spreads across my heart... She is nostalgic, pear blossom tears... Jing painted red makeup and waited for who will return..."

"Stay empty, Yiren is slowly getting haggard..."

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face slowly dissipated, and her eyes flickered slightly. If you look carefully, you will see that the Empress Dowager is trying to restrain the tears in her eyes.Rolling the beaded curtain, for whom... Emperor Shenzong has left her for more than 20 years, but at this moment, listening to this song, she seems to have returned to the beginning.

Girlish feelings are always poetry.How could she have never imagined what her future husband would look like, and what kind of life she would live with him.But as soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and when the imperial edict of marriage was sent to Wan's family, all her ideas were shattered to nothing.Far away from his parents in his hometown, he came to a completely unfamiliar capital, and entered the depths of the terrifying palace like a beast.She met her future husband, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who might die at any time.She has become an extremely noble princess, but who can understand her inner fear and panic about the future.

"Ah...the scent of rouge...rolling the beaded curtain, for whom..."

"Ah... I don't see Gao Xuan..."

"Ye Yueming, I'm embarrassed at this time..."

Aunt Hua's dance has always revolved around Wang Bao who is playing the piano. Wang Bao's unique voice fully expresses the artistic conception of this song.Sighing at the running water and falling flowers, who is playing the piano in the mist and clouds... After entering the palace, Aunt Hua began to count the days until she left the palace.She lives carefully every day in this deep palace that cannibalize people without spit out bones.In addition to sending the monthly routine money home and taking care of it, she can save as much as she can, and just wait until she is out of the palace to find an honest man who doesn't think she is too old and may not be able to have children to marry.At that time, how could she have thought that she would be tempted by an eunuch, and would make up her mind to stay in this deep palace with that man for the rest of her life.

In her entire life, she would never have the opportunity to put on a wedding dress, marry someone in an open and aboveboard manner, and have the flesh and blood that belonged to both of them.However, she does not regret it.She loves this crippled man, who uses his not generous body to shield her from difficulties and hardships in this shrine, so that she can come to her master and have the envy of other court ladies. A new life that does not come.She is willing to stay in the palace with this man, guard the master, and live their own little life in Xiangfu Palace.

"Ah...the scent of rouge...rolling the beaded curtain, for whom..."

"Ah... I don't see Gao Xuan..."

"Ye Yueming, I'm embarrassed at this time..."

The Queen Mother wiped the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.The man said that it was a blessing to marry her before he died.When she died, it was a blessing to die in her arms.In this life, their relationship between husband and wife is too shallow.In the next life, they will continue their relationship.The tenderness and love that man gave her were enough for her to face all difficulties and dangers in the next few decades.That man gave her the capital to let Emperor Mingzong protect her - their son, the only heir of that man left in this world.Before that man died, he dealt with all the concubines who would threaten her.In this life, even if she has been a widow for decades, she will not regret entering this deep palace, or becoming that man's wife.

Many female relatives present were in tears when they heard and watched.Zhao Ling (Tong Yifeng) lowered his eyes, using the posture of drinking tea to hide his inner fluctuations.

Kongliu Yiren is slowly haggard...

If time could come back, he hoped that he would never meet "him".

Huang Guixie, Deguixie, Mingxie...the corners of their eyes were a little red, Zhuo Ji looked around carelessly, and suddenly felt that his program arrangement was very inappropriate.The sound of the piano stopped, and Zhuo Ji got up before everyone came back to their senses, went to the center and knelt down: "Empress Dowager, today is your day of great joy. The waiter is confused. I chose such a piece of music. Please forgive me by the Empress Dowager."

Wang Bao and Aunt Hua also hurriedly knelt down.

The queen mother laughed, and said with a little nasal voice: "What is your crime? This song is good. It sounds good. The singing is also good. The dance is also good. Come and enjoy. Get up quickly."

Zhuo Ji stood up.Aunt Shen went down to reward Wang Bao and Aunt Hua.The two kowtowed to thank each other.The queen mother asked: "What's the name of this song? It sounds good."

Zhuo Ji: "Roll the bead curtain."

Queen Mother: "It sounds good. You can write this song down and send it to Shoukang Palace later."

"Yes."

Emperor Yong'an said at this time: "This song is really nice. Baixifang needs to learn this song, and sing it to the Queen Mother in the future."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Li, the manager of Baixifang, hurried out to receive the order.

Emperor Yong'an went on to say: "Shunxi, your empress dowager likes this song, what reward do you want?"

Zhuo Ji blinked: "Is everything okay?"

There was a low voice in the audience.Shun Yu is really bold.Huang Guixie, Deguixie and Mingyu put away their moods and smiled.

Emperor Yong'an narrowed his eyes: "Anything is fine."

The audience exclaimed, and everyone was curious about what request Shun Yu would make.I am even more amazed at His Majesty's love for Shun Yu.

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, the servant has never been interested in gold, silver and jewellery, but only has a special liking for hairpins. The servant has always liked the phoenix feather hairpin on the head of the royal concubine."

When Zhuo Ji said this, many people, especially those in the harem gasped.When Zhuo Ji mentioned him, Huang Guixie's body visibly shook, and when Zhuo Ji said that sentence, Huang Guixie's eyes were even more astonished.Both Degui Xie and Ming Xie put away the gentleness on their faces, and De Gui Xie even frowned slightly.The smile on the Empress Dowager's face disappeared, even Emperor Yong'an's face became a little colder.

By the way, it's too arrogant!This is on the minds of many people.

Grand Master Shao looked deeply at Shun Xun who was standing in the field.After being briefly surprised, Shao Pingqiu pursed his lips tightly.Chen Changgeng narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly paying attention to His Majesty's reaction.

Emperor Yong'an said coldly, "Do you want the hairpin on the empress's head?"

Zhuo Ji: "Yes."

Emperor Yong'an didn't immediately say yes or no.Huang Guixie clenched his fist, anyone could see that he was angry because Huang Guixie's face was tense.The Queen Mother did not speak, and His Majesty suddenly fell silent again. The audience was very quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.And Zhuo Ji, who was "extremely arrogant", just looked at His Majesty the emperor like that, as if he wanted the hairpin domineeringly.

After a long time, Emperor Yong'an's voice sounded a little colder: "Since you like it...then the empress should give the hairpin to Shunxi."

The gasp sounded again.The queen mother still didn't say a word for Huangguixie. Huangguixie's eye sockets turned red indistinctly. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pulled out from his hair the moist and translucent hair that he often wears. He likes it very much. Phoenix feather hairpin.Zhuo Jichao's noble concubine saluted slightly: "Thanks to your noble concubine for giving up your love."

Huang Guixie said in a hoarse voice: "If you like it, then I will put it on for you."

"Thank you."

Zhuo Ji stepped forward, stepped up four steps, walked up to Huang Guixie, turned around and squatted down.The royal concubine bit her jaw tightly, but inserted the hairpin firmly into Zhuo Ji's hair.

Zhuo Ji got up, turned around to salute, then turned around again and went down the steps.Emperor Yong'an stood up vigorously: "The birthday banquet will end here."

Everyone immediately got up and sent His Majesty and the Queen Mother back to the palace respectfully.Feng Xi ran over in a hurry, ran up to Shun Zuo and whispered: "Cu Chu, Your Majesty wants you to sleep tonight."

"This palace knows."

Feng Xi left.

Emperor Yong'an and the Empress Dowager left first, and the noble lords of the various palaces naturally also left.The ministers and the wives who were present had to send all the lords off before they could leave.After Huang Guixie and Deguixie left, Zhuo Ji led Chang Jing and Xiaohui directly to Emperor Yong'an's bedroom amidst the sound of sending them off.Watching this "arrogant and domineering" Shunshi leave, many people sighed in their hearts.

The birthday banquet was held in Fengtian Hall, so Zhuo Ji soon arrived at Emperor Yong'an's bedroom.As soon as he saw him, Emperor Yong'an was furious: "He asked my love to serve him! Go to deliver the baby to the female relatives in the official's back house! You still beg for mercy!"

Zhuo Ji stepped forward and hugged Emperor Yong'an's waist, raised his head and said, "If I don't go, I will die three times. Your Majesty, I am not the holy father, but I can use my medical skills to bring new life to this world. That is a very, very, happy thing. Your Majesty, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, the woman in Shao Mansion died in childbirth and had two children. Isn’t this a pity for the Queen Mother? I don’t want to see Brother Yao sad. Your Majesty, I know you love me, but I also have my greed. I hope that in this Danyang Palace, Brother Yao, Brother Tong, and Brother Yue and I can be real brothers. When they have difficulties, they will think of looking for me Help. I don’t hesitate to go to them for help when I’m in trouble.”

Emperor Yong'an sullenly pulled off the hairpin on Zhuo Ji's head and was about to throw it away, but Zhuo Ji grabbed it.Zhuo Ji: "I really like this hairpin."

"Besides the hairpin I gave you, you are not allowed to wear anyone else's!"

"Then I'll put it away."

Zhuo Ji stretched out his hand, Chang Jing bowed his head and quickly came over and took the hairpin with his head down.Zhuo Ji took the opportunity to gesture backwards, and Zhang Xian, Feng Xi, Xiao Hui, and Chang Jing in the room immediately retreated.

Zhuo Ji put his arms around Emperor Yong'an's neck: "Actually, I have one more thing I want, but I'm too embarrassed to say it in front of outsiders."

"what!"

"When I finish my work, His Majesty will accompany me for two months, and I can only spend the night in Xiangfu Palace every day."

"I'm very angry!"

After leaving the sentence, Emperor Yong'an bent over and hugged Zhuo Ji.Zhuo Ji tightly circled Emperor Yong'an's neck, leaned into his ear and asked, "Would you like to play the flute for His Majesty?"

Emperor Yong'an paused, then quickened his pace and led the person to the bedside, throwing someone who didn't understand his love and care onto the bed.
