Chapter 226 Birthday Ceremony

On this day, Xu Jiao entered the palace again.

A few days ago, someone from Cuiwei Palace sent her a post, saying that it was the seventh day of the seventh month of the winter lunar month for Empress Wan, and His Majesty wanted to hold a birthday banquet for her, but Empress Wan did not want to make a fuss, so she asked His Majesty for grace , I just want to invite Princess Yingyue into the palace and have a meal with her.

This concubine Wan is exactly Wang Wan, who just got the title a few days ago.Before taking the throne, she was already very favored. She just got the title, and even a small birthday party can be attended by His Majesty in person. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and I don't know how many people's jealousy is about to ignite.Only Xu Jiao sneered in his heart when he heard these gossips. Emperor Xian hoped that Wang Wan would bless him, let him live a long life, and make his Great Wei Dynasty last forever. How dare he not pamper him Wang Wan?
Although Xu Jiao didn't like that palace city, she still wanted to go to Wang Wan's birthday.

After breakfast, she packed up and went into the palace. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Caixia led a small sedan chair with green curtains to pick her up like last time.

When she arrived at Cuiwei Palace, she was led directly into the palace.

Xu Jiao originally thought that because Wang Wan's holy family is strong at this time, no matter what people in the harem think about her birthday, even if they hate Wang Wan deeply, they secretly wish to eat her flesh and blood, this superficial trick They will all be in place, there should be quite a few people who came to celebrate her birthday, and the Cuiwei Palace should be very lively.

Unexpectedly, when she stepped into the palace gate, she was slightly taken aback.The Cuiwei Palace was unexpectedly very deserted, just like the last time she came back.

Seeing Wang Wan, she hadn't asked the doubts in her heart yet. Wang Wan was a delicate person. He took her hand and said with a smile, "Why do I need people who have nothing to do with me to congratulate me on my own birthday? What's more, How many people are sincerely congratulating you, and you don’t have to burden yourself and add trouble, why bother? So, I asked His Majesty for an imperial decree, and today I will thank guests behind closed doors at Cuiwei Palace. Except for you, of course.” Wang Wanwan Tightening Xu Jiao's arm, he giggled at her.

Xu Jiao thought, in this harem, it might be rare to have someone as willful as Wang Wan, and I don't know if it is good or not.

He took out the gift she gave to Wang Wan, and it was a portrait of Wang Wan. It was the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that day. With a starry sky behind her, she seems to have fallen into the mortal world with her.

Wang Wan couldn't help but look at it, "Ah Jiao painted me so beautifully?"

"I always draw what I see, but I can't adulterate it. But you, don't think my gift is not new. I can barely do it with this skill, so who should I give as a gift?" , I can only think of this, as if I didn't have the heart. But the conscience of heaven and earth, I really racked my brains, but this gift is elegant and hand-painted after all, which shows sincerity. The most important thing is not Spend money." Xu Jiao said with a smile.

Wang Wan laughed happily at her last sentence, pointed at her and said, "You are narrow-minded, you will marry someone later, let's see if the governor of Helian can help you."

"What can he do with me? Does he still dare to beat me?" Xu Jiao blinked, with a pure face, but arrogance in his tone.

Wang Wan shook her head and laughed, and handed over the portrait that Xu Jiao had painted for her to Cai Yundao, "Put it away for me, my lord, Princess Yingyue's superb painting skills will be as famous as Mr. Jiu Yi's in Kyushu sooner or later." In the future, this painting will be invaluable, and there must be no mistakes."

This was the first time Xu Jiao saw Wang Wan after she became a concubine.Just now when she was talking to herself, it was not the same as before, they all called themselves "I", and the tone was the same as usual, but it was just now that Xu Jiao suddenly remembered her sentence "I am the palace", The identity of the person in front of him has changed.

She likes Wang Wan's former appearance very much, but in this palace, it looks beautiful and prosperous, but she doesn't know how many open and dark arrows are there. If she remains the same, it may be difficult to even survive, but if she changes, Xu Jiao thinks about it. They all feel a little uncomfortable.

With just a slight turn of that emotion in her heart, she suppressed it deeply, and said with a smile, "I used to think that you were a kind person, but now I realize that you are also a person who can bury people."

"Where did I bury you? I'm telling the truth. I'm sure that Ajiao's paintings will become famous one day." Wang Wan looked at Xu Jiao with a smile. Although she said something with a smile, But the seriousness in it permeates every word.

Xu Jiao was slightly startled when he heard this, and after a long while, he opened his mouth and smiled, "Don't make fun of me."

"I'm telling the truth. Anyone who has seen Ajiao's paintings, who wouldn't praise a tiger father without a dog girl? In my opinion, it is inevitable that Ajiaoqing is born out of blue and better than blue. It just depends on the morning and evening."

Xu Jiao looked at the clear sincerity in her eyes, and was speechless for a while.

At this moment, a laughing voice suddenly came from outside the hall, "What are you talking about, it's so lively?"

Wang Wan and Xu Jiao quickly stopped laughing, stood up, and bowed their knees to salute, "See Your Majesty."

"Excuse me." The person who came into the hall was Emperor Xian. He waved his hand to excuse the two, and walked to the main seat to sit down, while saying, "Today, Wanwan has Yingyue to accompany her on her birthday. I didn't get the job of having dinner together, so I can only take a quick look at it while I have time, and congratulate Wan Wan on her birthday."

What Emperor Xian said was very flattering, but he didn't have the slightest dignity of an emperor, and every word and every sentence revealed his love for Wang Wan.

Wang Wan really looked moved, and replied softly, "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do, so there is no need to worry about this little birthday of my concubine. Earlier, Gan's servant had sent a lot of things here by His Majesty's order. His majesty's kindness is always in my heart, and my concubine feels even more uneasy if he wants to make your majesty visit again in person."

"You don't have to be uneasy, it's all my own will. For Wan Wan, I don't feel bitter." Emperor Xian held Wang Wan's hand, talking affectionately.

Xu Jiao, however, felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this, glanced in their direction, and then quickly retracted.But the scene with hot eyes was still unavoidably engraved in my mind, and I couldn't get rid of it.

Emperor Xian is now in his forties, he takes pills all the year round, his body is puffy and his face is pale, just like a swollen white flour steamed bun, and Wang Wan is just a green girl now, Emperor Xian is enough to do it With her father's age, this picture is really not pleasing to the eye.

When Xu Jiao thought about the dirty truth behind the scene in front of her, and the dirty thoughts, she felt more than hot eyes. If she didn't close her eyes quickly, she would feel sick.

"By the way, I heard your laughter just now outside the hall. I don't know what you are talking about, so lively?" Emperor Xian Xu was still worried about the presence of Xu Jiao, so he stopped his love talk and started talking about it. The topic just now.

"It's nothing. Before your Majesty came down, Ajiao had just given a birthday gift to my concubine, and the two of us were tasting together, just joking."
