Chapter 168 Birthday
The birthday banquet was scheduled to be held in the Huayi Hall, but Emperor Liang did not come because he was weak.

But this is exactly what Song Qingan wanted.

Although she knew that this banquet was no different from the Hongmen Banquet, she still didn't want to meet anyone who ruined her interest.

This time, apart from several important concubines in the palace, Song Qinghuai and King Xuan, they also hosted a banquet for many noble ladies in Beijing.

In the Huayi Hall, there are constant voices, and the beautiful lady sitting in one place is the most eye-catching scene.

Wearing a dark red Zhai suit, and crowned with pearls and emerald jewels, the pressure on her shoulders and neck ached.Song Qing'an lowered his eyes, and slowly walked towards the palace like a star trailing the moon.

As she entered the hall, the sound of ceremonies and music in the hall suddenly changed, the waiters passed on the message, and everyone around was silent.

Song Qing'an smiled appropriately, and looked directly at the person at the top without avoiding his gaze.

On such a day, Pei Qing really changed into that crimson python robe.

Pei Qing's eyes paused on her for a moment, and then she frowned indiscernibly.

The color...wasn't the one she had originally chosen.

All the people in the seat bowed, and they also had different expressions.

A subtle sense of weirdness came from the bottom of their hearts for no reason. They looked at the only two reds in the temple, and they more or less had some illusions.

It seems...these two are going to get married.

Naturally, as soon as this irreversible thought flashed through my mind for a moment, it was ruthlessly suppressed.

It's just that the princess's Difu...it really doesn't look like Difu, if the color is lighter, it is really no different from Xifu.

Song Qingan bent his lips, looked away, and looked at Song Qinghuai with disapproving eyes.

Her smile grew stronger, Song Qinghuai looked at it for a while, and finally lowered her eyes in compromise.

Song Qing'an pursed her lips, and her eyes flicked to the man with a gloomy face.

King Xuan... her uncle is really here.The last time when King Xuan entered the capital was her canonization ceremony, she hadn't even looked at him carefully.

The land of Shu almost sees no light all year round, probably because of this, King Xuan's complexion is as pale as if he hadn't seen the sun all year round, and he also has a sick look.However, he was born with an eagle nose and sharp eyes, and there was a sense of sickness in his brows and eyes.

It seems that he has been calculating and operating all year round, and has become more paranoid and extreme.

Looking at it this way...it really is the same thing as Emperor Liang.No matter which of the two brothers ascended to the throne of God, it seems that it is not a good thing.

The eyes of the two touched briefly, as if it never happened.

King Xuan smiled sinisterly, and poured himself a glass of wine slowly.Song Qing'an hadn't taken his seat yet, so naturally there was no banquet. His move was undoubtedly provoking her.

"The princess is very happy on her birthday. I will offer a toast to the princess first."

With Emperor Liang not around, Jiang Zhi was naturally in charge of the matter.Seeing King Xuan's provocation, Jiang Zhi, who was sitting at the top, stood up holding the lamp, and looked at Song Qing'an with a smile, attracting everyone's attention.

Song Qing'an was slightly stunned, then took the wine cup from the maid, and greeted Jiang Zhi: "Thank you, ma'am."

That little episode was covered up silently, King Xuan smiled inexplicably, waved his hand secretly, and the attendant beside him quietly stepped down.

"This king, as an uncle, has not been able to stay in Beijing all the time, and has neglected a lot. Here I apologize with wine."

He raised his voice and stood up, raising the wine cup to Song Qing'an.Hearing his words, some people's faces changed slightly, and they couldn't help secretly glad that Emperor Liang didn't come.

"Thank you uncle for your kindness."

Song Qingan smiled softly, and took another drink without hesitation.

"Okay, this king likes your straightforward look."

King Xuan laughed and said with a thorn in his words: "I really don't know how elder brother raised a person like you. This king is very curious."

"Uncle Miao Zan, Your Majesty is the most courageous and decisive person in the world."

Song Qing'an didn't want to get entangled with King Xuan, so he was used as a spearman for no reason, and after being perfunctory, he sat down and cut off his words abruptly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Jiang Zhi hurriedly announced the singing and dancing into the hall.The sound of silk and bamboo music and the graceful figure of maiko barely overwhelmed the strange atmosphere in the hall, maintaining the harmony and tranquility on the surface.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the banquet."

As Jiang Zhi said, she clapped her palms twice, and the waiters waiting outside the palace entered the palace one by one.

The waiter at the side winked, and immediately announced the gift list loudly.

Almost all the high schools in Beijing had given presents, and the noble daughter who was invited here naturally represented the family behind them.

Song Qing'an listened, the curvature of his lips hardly changing.Several people tried to deduce one or two from her expression, but gave up one after another.

Those rare treasures are carried up like they don't want money.Song Qing'an's face was indifferent, but he was thinking about how much these things were worth in taels of silver.

If it is used to make armor, maybe it can...

The long list of gifts had been read to the end, Jiang Zhi clapped her palm again, and the waiter who was in the hall before began to serve the dishes.

The sound of bells, drums, silk and bamboo changed the tune, and the hall became lively again.

Song Qing'an sat next to Song Qinghuai, smiling and toasting with all parties.

After she won the fifth cup, Song Qinghuai raised her hand to cover the wine cup, and said with a gentle smile, "Leave Qing'an alone, she's alone."

The noble lady who came to toast looked at Song Qinghuai's handsome face, her cheeks were slightly red, and she teased Song Qing'an, "Princess, Your Highness treats you very well."

"That's natural. Qing'an is Gu's younger sister. If Gu doesn't treat her well, who else can treat her well?"

Song Qinghuai raised his eyebrows, lightly touched the noble lady with the wine cup in his hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

The lady didn't hold back, she bowed upright after drinking, and then retreated.

Song Qing'an watched Song Qinghuai hold the wine for her with a full smile, wiped the liquid on her lips with her fingertips, and then glanced at the seat as if nothing.

Seeing that Pei Qing's eyes did not fall here, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"Yue'er, pay attention."

No one came over yet, Song Qinghuai turned his head and reminded her in a low voice.

"Now that I know brother, will I still not count?"

Song Qing'an said helplessly, his eyes narrowed: "What did brother choose for me?"

In the list of names just now, Song Qinghuai was not among them.

"You'll find out later."

Song Qinghuai smiled warmly, and Song Qing'an looked to his side, only to find that Lin Yuan was not here.

"...Brother, do you know that this is not exactly my birthday party?"

Song Qing'an whispered, his eyes skipped the many noble ladies present.

This is clearly... It is a disguised form for Song Qinghuai to choose the prince and concubine.

"It's okay, in my heart, this is your birthday party alone."

Song Qinghuai looked gentle and looked at Song Qingan's serious expression when he spoke.Attracting the eyes of a young lady, Song Qingan smiled hesitantly, wondering in her heart.

Although my elder brother has no time to take care of such things, how could there be no one in the picture...

And Pei Qing.

Song Qing'an looked up, got up and said: "When your Majesty is sick, your majesty takes care of you with his clothes untied. Qing'an is here to thank your majesty."

"What this palace should do."

Jiang Zhi smiled slightly, and was about to continue when she was interrupted by King Xuan.

"Brother is actually sick?" He pretended to be surprised, and said, "This king thought that brother was busy with government affairs, but never thought... he was so seriously ill that he couldn't even come to the princess' birthday party?"

"His Royal Highness Xuan said carefully, His Majesty's dragon body is healthy, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Jiang Zhi's face was slightly cold, and warnings flickered in her eyes.
