Today is the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, so it is naturally very festive.

As for some etiquette, as early as in the daytime, the emperor had long gone to the temple to offer incense, and asked eminent monks to pray for the queen mother.

Xia Boran participated in these activities, but Xia Chiwan was not qualified.

As far as Xia Chiwan could see, there were golden pillars, white walls, and white jade stones.

Because of the Empress Dowager's birthday, the hall was naturally filled with red lanterns.

On the lantern, there are also various characters of longevity plastered on it.

The sound of silk and bamboo, the dancing postures are curling, and the fragrance is lingering, but it is also a piece of harmony.

On such a big day as the queen mother's birthday, the first people to present gifts to the queen mother must be people from the royal family.

The emperor was the first to say that the Empress Dowager's birthday would be exempted from tax for three years, and the world would be amnesty.

Of course, this amnesty is also conditional.

It must be a death row prisoner who has been imprisoned for three years before he can be amnesty.

New offenders cannot enjoy this power.

It was taken for granted that Xia Zixuan, who had just been sentenced to death, had no chance of surviving.

The emperor issued the imperial decree, and there was a sound of respectful shouts of "sage".

Hearing the sound of flattery from the ministers, the emperor laughed happily, even the queen mother was very satisfied, her eyes were crooked like moon buds when she laughed.

After the emperor presents it, it will be the concubine.

In order to win the emperor's sacred heart, on such an important day, those concubines did all kinds of strange tricks, hoping to attract the emperor's attention.

In fact, a concubine can do quite well.

She danced a dance called Bu Bu Sheng Lian.

In the cold late autumn, the concubine was wearing a summer lotus dress, dancing with light steps and graceful posture.

That complexion like a lotus emerging from water is very suitable for the occasion.

The most wonderful thing is that the concubine did not know where to find the dye, and dyed the iron surface with a layer of golden color.

The concubine jumped to the end and was the first to turn around. With a twist of her dancing shoes, a golden lotus flower appeared under her feet.

Even Xia Chiwan couldn't help but praise her, she really is a veritable lotus every step of the way!

It was taken for granted that such a peculiar dancing posture naturally attracted the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother.

Both the emperor and the queen mother were rewarded, and the concubine became the big winner.

The concubine competes for favor, and the prince and princess compete for favor even more.

Even the youngest princess, who was only five years old, gave the Queen Mother a pair of longevity characters written by herself.

On the contrary, the fifteenth prince, who has always been the most pleasing to the emperor and queen mother, has not shown any performance.

Of course the Queen Mother will ask:

"Xiao Shiwu, where is the gift you prepared? Why hasn't the imperial grandmother seen it?"

Zhou Xuanxi has always been an eccentric, full of ghostly ideas.

Seeing that Zhou Xuanxi hadn't made any moves, the Queen Mother knew that Zhou Xuanxi must be hiding something.

In this regard, the Queen Mother is looking forward to it.

"Grandmother don't worry, grandson is preparing for this ceremony, he has to perform with Sister Xia, and I hope Grandmother will approve."

Zhou Xuanxi bowed to the Queen Mother and said.

"Oh, is that so?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, she knew that her own young fifteen liked that girl from the Xia family very much.

Xiao Shiwu would occasionally say in front of her that the girl from the Xia family is so smart and beautiful, she is the best girl in the world.
