Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 343 Longevity
How the dancers stopped Chaoyun, Jiang Changning didn't know, she was playing petty temper with Emperor Xuanzhi.

"You are not joking, you are not joking, Your Majesty." Jiang Changning was about to be tossed and torn apart by the man. She still has a lot of things to do tomorrow.

She didn't understand, since she didn't starve him, why did this man bite on him as soon as he ate meat?It really puzzled her.

"At this time, I am not a king, but Ningning's man. Between husband and wife, you should enjoy the joy of fish and water." Emperor Xuanzhi spoke eloquently.

"I'm going to bed." Jiang Changning turned sideways, with his back to him.

Emperor Xuanzhi leaned over, put his arms around her, and whispered in his ear: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you tonight, go to sleep."

"Then should I thank the emperor for his kindness?" Jiang Changning asked with a mocking smile.

"Ningning, you know I don't like your verbal thanks." Emperor Xuanzhi smirked.

Hearing this, Jiang Changning quickly closed his eyes, "I fell asleep."

Emperor Xuanzhi couldn't help laughing, and fell asleep with his arms around her.

The Spring Festival Gala is quiet and has a good night's sleep.

Two days later, it was the seventh day of February.

All the people in the palace put up 12 points of energy, no one dared to make the slightest mistake, if they committed a taboo today, even if they didn't die, they would have to shed their skin.

The departments that serve the royal family, such as Yufutai and Gongnufang, are even more busy.

Zhaoyang Hall, where the Longevity Banquet is held, has been scrubbed many times inside and out. The Hanyu stone steps outside are spotless, and under the sunlight, they emit a lustrous light.

"Ma'am, can you see if this is okay?" Fang Ju put the mirror behind Jiang Changning's head.

Jiang Changning looked at the bright and beautiful woman in the silver mirror, and said with a smile, "Fangju's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Xiulan brought the phoenix crown, and Jiang Changning is going to wear the Nine Dragons Nine Phoenix Crown today.

This phoenix crown is newly made, and its style is quite different from that worn by Jiang Changning at the post-sealing ceremony. There are not only dragons and phoenixes on the phoenix crown, but also floating immortals.

When Jiang Changning saw this phoenix crown, he still laughed for a long time. This is not enough for the dragon and the phoenix to be auspicious, but also to ascend to the sky and become a fairy!

Jiang Changning put on the phoenix crown, stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go, go to the main hall to meet His Majesty."

Emperor Xuanzhi had already changed into his dragon robe, and when he heard the voice of greeting the queen outside, he asked someone to welcome her in directly.

Jiang Changning looked Emperor Xuanzhi up and down, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary, worthy of accumulating stones like jade, and setting pines like emeralds. Lang Yan is unique, there is no other in the world."

Emperor Xuanzhi stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Changning closer, and said with a smile, "There is a beautiful person, clear and gentle. Meeting each other, it suits my wish."

After a few words of teasing, the couple went out of the palace hand in hand, sitting in a brand new dragon and phoenix chariot, to pick up the Empress Dowager from the Palace of Mercy.

In Zhaoyang Hall, the royal family, nobles, civil and military ministers were seated according to their ranks.

The luthiers in the band played melodious music, and the large copper charcoal stoves in the four corners of the hall were steaming.

Following the eunuch's words, "The emperor has arrived, the empress dowager has arrived, and the empress dowager has arrived." Everyone in the hall immediately attended, kneeling down to welcome the three lords of the palace.

Some people sang: "The majesty of the sky is brilliant, and the mountain dragons gather their chapters. The court will travel hundreds of times, and the Lord will serve the wine.

After bowing to the group, they hang down their clothes.It is difficult to grow old in Yongxi, and there is no limit to longevity. "

After singing three times in a row, the Empress Dowager sat down in the middle, and the Empress Dowager sat on both sides of her.

Emperor Xuanzhi glanced at all the ministers, "It's just my birthday, and I am very grateful for letting you work so hard."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and this is the duty of the ministers." All the ministers kowtowed to express their loyalty.

After they bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to celebrate the longevity ceremony, Emperor Xuanzhi said: "Everyone, please stand up and give me your seat."

Daqin had more than a hundred affiliated states, but Emperor Xuanzhi seized the throne in May last year and issued an imperial edict to these affiliated states after he formally ascended the throne.

However, the journey is far away, and it will take more than half a year for these dependent countries to receive the edict and send missions to congratulate them.

This time, Emperor Xuanzhi's Longevity Day came to congratulate the eight neighboring countries.

I don't know if someone beat it, but the missions of the affiliated countries are quite quiet, they offered birthday gifts in a proper manner, and then returned to their seats and sat down.

The palace lady came in with a food box and presented delicious food carefully prepared by the imperial dining room.

On the dragon and phoenix table, the Eight Immortals duck and the pot-roasted carp are served first.

Next is steamed white fungus, gourd Daji wings, duck soup with longevity characters, and braised fish bones.

While everyone was enjoying the food, the show began.

The opening is a very lively group dance: Yaochi Fairy's birthday dance.

A group of dancers are wearing elegant gauze skirts, dancing in the smog, with their long sleeves rising and falling, in a trance, as if a fairy has come to the world to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

"Queen, you managed to get this smoke out." Emperor Xuanzhi laughed.

Jiang Changning smiled, "I thought the smoke would become thinner if the space was too large, but now it seems that the effect is not bad."

"Very good, the empress is taking care of you." Emperor Xuanzhi signaled Chang Youzhong to bring the cup of mushroom chicken in front of him to Jiang Changning.

He saw that Jiang Changning liked it very much, so he finished a cup of it.

After the court dancers retreated, the folk troupe who performed tricks came second.

Today is the Longevity Festival, to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and the things conjured up by performing tricks are all mascots.

Big flat peach, jade ruyi, ruby ​​flower.
A pair of cranes are also conjured up to hold the longevity couplet: the sky and the earth live together, and the sun and the moon shine together.

"It's hard for you to come up with so many tricks, come and see." The Queen Mother said.

The maid held the prepared tray and delivered two ingots of gold ingots to the jugglers. They were so happy that they knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the reward."

After the juggler stepped back, there was another dance.

After the performances one by one, the style of the music suddenly changed, with exotic flavor.

Jiang Changning, who was lowering his head to compete with a peanut, looked up and saw six masked dancers in sleeveless green gauze skirts, twisting their enchanting waists, coming onto the stage.

The exposed arms of the dancers are as white and tender as lotus roots, coupled with their winking eyes, they are extremely alluring.

The six people bent their legs and leaned over, sometimes raising their hands to shake the silver bells on their wrists, sometimes hanging down to simulate running water, swinging gently, sometimes spreading out, and sometimes forming a row.

Although the dancers danced enchantingly, everyone present was very reserved, and no one dared to show a lustful look.

The six people formed a circle, threw the gauze wrapped around their bodies to the middle, paused for a while, then tore the gauze apart, and a woman in red clothes who was dressed cooler came out from inside.

She has a graceful figure, wearing a red embroidered blouse, and the skirt is also tied below the navel, revealing her snow-white belly.

What's even more alluring is that her skirt is piece by piece. As she dances, her slender beautiful legs are looming, which is really extremely alluring.

Xiulan took a step forward and reported in a low voice, "Mother, she is Chaoyun."
