Charming bone fragrance, concubine this snake and scorpion

The birthday banquet was held in the garden next to Mucuo Lake in Gongli. The lake was filled with all kinds of lanterns, full of blessings like stars, and the bright stars in the sky also echoed each other. The dark blue sky was picturesque.

The garden was brightly lit like daytime, and it was full of people but it didn't seem noisy. Many of them were old people who had met at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Leng Rutong sat down uninterestedly, eating snacks. In fact, it was like this A birthday banquet might as well be reading in Zangshu Pavilion. The gossip in the unofficial history is much more interesting than this birthday banquet.

It wasn't until seeing a group of people in strange clothes that Leng Rutong became interested. Leaning on Ye Fengya's body, she asked curiously, "Honey, who are they?" Only the middle-aged man with a square face and long hair sat down with a blonde beauty.

Ye Fengya raised her eyes and took a look: "Oh, Liao people, today is the birthday of the father, there should be many envoys from other countries, they are all small countries that pay tribute to Ye Shengchao."

"But why are people from the Heaven-Defying Kingdom here?" Leng Rutong turned her eyes, but saw the Fifth Prince of the Heaven-Defying Kingdom, followed by the arrogant Ni Xiangnuan. She was wearing a long white dress and followed quietly. Behind the fifth prince, it is really beautiful to be quiet.

"Well, let's show some courtesy." Ye Fengya was obviously not interested, and stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into Leng Rutong's mouth without even looking at Ni Xiangnuan.

"This emperor's face is really big." Leng Rutong took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and felt a vicious gaze coming towards her. As expected, Ni Xiangnuan looked at her from afar, with obvious hatred in her eyes. This girl followed her all night long. Hajj is coming. Nothing good will happen.

"This birthday banquet is estimated to be short. If you find it boring, we can leave directly." Ye Fengya said thoughtfully.

Leng Rutong shook her head: "Of course I can't go, I still have the right to pardon, so that no one will always use me to bully the king."

Not long after, the emperor sat down with the concubines in the palace. This year is Ye Xianghao's fiftieth birthday, so it was quite grand. Leng Rutong really convinced Ye Fengya, but he didn't tell her in advance that he He didn't make any preparations, the gifts were all delivered, and he entered the palace alone.

At any rate, bring two boxes of broken ginseng as a token of appreciation.

After the emperor sat down, bright fireworks bloomed beside the lake, and the shape of the smiling face formed by the fireworks was exactly the formula that Leng Rutong told Ye Qingcheng last time. The bright smiling face was reflected in the lake, which was unique.

The middle-aged man from the Liao Kingdom called it good-looking: "The Ye Sheng Dynasty really lives up to its reputation. How are these gorgeous fireworks made?"

Ye Xianghao smiled slightly: "I'm going to ask my love Qing Ye Shangshu about this. His beloved son is the maker of these fireworks."

Ye Shangshu quickly stood up and said modestly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the dog just likes fireworks."

Ye Qingcheng was not greedy for merit, and immediately stood up: "My Majesty, I really like making fireworks, but this recipe was given to me by the Seventh Concubine, otherwise I would not be able to penetrate such a delicate firework with my own strength." produced."

Leng Rutong was eating cakes, but suddenly heard someone mentioning her, and hurriedly raised her head to look at Ye Qingcheng who was dressed in a gray robe. This child is really called.

"Oh..." Ye Xianghao smiled in surprise: "My daughter-in-law is a bit of a ghost." There was a bit of complacency in his words, after all, this is also his own family, which has added face to his royal family.

Leng Rutong scolded softly: "Your father really knows how to save face for yourself."

"Father, it's useless for the minister and daughter-in-law to meet again. It's Mr. Ye's technology that can make everyone see such beautiful fireworks." Leng Rutong sat on the seat and returned him.

"That's right." Ye Xianghao didn't say anything more, and echoed.

Leng Rutong stole the limelight from the very beginning of this birthday banquet. There was not a single wealthy official in the audience, a woman who didn't even have an innocence, how could she get so much favor.Especially when Ye Fengya closed her cup to Leng Rutong like a servant who was serving her by the side, she became even more jealous.

Idle is also idle, Leng Rutong admires those official daughters who don't like her, the others are basically seen, only one beauty in a light yellow embroidered white magnolia dress has never seen , she was also raising her head to look at her, her eyes were cold, with a bit of disdain, "Wow Caole, don't do this, at least give me a soft look."

If I think I'm as cold as a pupil, I can't have a female friend!God.

As soon as she thought about it, she received Ye Qingrou's smiling gaze, yes, there is also Ye Qingrou, I don't know how she and her cousin are doing recently.She couldn't help looking at her cousin, ah, I forgot to say hello to my cousin today, and went straight to the palace after returning, the Tang family didn't know what happened to her yet.

Leng Rutong returned Ye Qingrou's bright smile, and Ye Qingrou smiled again, this Seventh Concubine is really interesting, and she is the only one who dares to come back to life like this.

Leng Rutong muttered to herself: "Am I being unfilial, I didn't even go to see my grandfather, how sad he must be for my death."

Ye Fengya rubbed her hair: "It's not too late to go tomorrow, isn't it even hot in my house today?"

Joy has already started to play in the garden, and a group of dancers began to dance. The maidservants who can be dancers in the palace are all selected from the fame of folk dances. The natural appreciation is also very commendable, and it is as cold as a pupil I didn't dare to be interested in this kind of soft music, so I looked at it a few more times.

After a song, a dance, and a close, the people below began to toast, and after three rounds of drinking, Ye Xianghao became excited: "Today, there are many talented scholars and beauties present, and everyone is here to perform for my birthday banquet. I like it very much for helping the fun, and I will definitely reward you a lot.”

As soon as these words came out, the people below immediately exploded. So many ladies from famous families came here just to perform at this moment.The banquet is beside the flowers.

They come on stage one by one, cold as pupils and bored, watching them perform, it is better to watch dancers dance and listen to musicians play music, she always feels that the talents of these rich ladies are nothing but trivial skills in front of professionals.

Sure enough, after performing one by one, none of them were exquisite. On the contrary, it was the performance of the beauty from the Liao Kingdom that made her interested. Her body was boneless, soft and powerful, and she folded her body at will to do various difficult dance moves. It seems that the Liao Kingdom has sent the strongest.

The princes and officials of the Ye Sheng Dynasty gave her thunderous applause without hesitation. At this moment, Leng Ruling stood up: "Your Majesty, my servant also wants to help."

"Ling'er, you are weak, can you?" Ye Huaihe showed his concern as a husband appropriately.

Leng Ruling shook her head: "Of course, Ling'er can't help the Holy Majesty's birthday banquet." She spoke weakly and seemed to fall, and walked to the center, with the sleeves of her clothes wide and flowing, she spread her hands , A gust of wind seemed to take her away.

This kind of sickness and frailty actually has a soft beauty, Leng Rutong snorted coldly, Ye Mingzhu really knows how to make a wedding dress for her daughter, even when she is sick, she can show her full splendor.

To be honest, Leng Ruling's dance is incomparable to the beauties of Liao Kingdom, but her weak and morbid beauty with frequent smiles is enough to arouse everyone's pity, even Ye Huaihe stood up after her dance. Get up and take her back to her seat in person.

Leng Ruling had just finished the performance, but the strange and cold beauty stood up, and the long skirt embroidered with light yellow and white magnolia supported her heart, and she smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, Second Miss Leng's soft and beautiful dance is really amazing. It's heart-wrenching, and it perfectly performed the dance of a sick beauty, and the courtier also wanted to play a song to cheer up."

"Okay, it's really a blessing for us that the number one talented woman in Yege City also came to help us." The second prince who was next to him suddenly took the bait, and a trace of displeasure flashed in Leng Ruling's eyes, but he didn't show it.

Leng Rutong leaned on Ye Fengya's shoulder and asked lightly: "The number one talented woman in Yege City? Why didn't I know there was someone else?"

"I heard that Yege City, who went to study abroad for two years and only returned this year with Ning Huanyu, is as scheming as Concubine Ning." Ye Fengya looked coldly at the right minister beside her. The old man is more of a thief, he has been hiding behind old man Ning to act as a threat, but he has not lost much points by taking advantage of it.

"Whose family?" Leng Rutong asked.

"The Seventh Miss Su Huanhuan from Youxiang's family. She is also the younger sister of Empress Xiaode. She was born to Mrs. No. 15 who was married to Youxiang. Man Ye Song City." Ye Fengya said lightly, but was feeding grapes to Leng Rutong.

Leng Rutong didn't bother to reach out and was happy to have his service, but she also knew that there was a price to pay, and she would definitely get it back at night.

"Why did the emperor not have such a woman when he chose your concubine?" Leng Rutong felt a little strange, not only did she not have the right minister's family, but also did not have the young ladies of Taifu Ning's family. Could it be that they all It's impossible to not covet this imperial concubine.

"They are waiting, it's too early to bet now." Ye Fengya explained the mystery in one word.

"You mean that the situation is unclear now, so they are not in a hurry to marry their daughters first, but don't they want to be Queen Phoenix?"

"Other people, just get rid of them when the time comes." Ye Fengya said coldly, these people's thoughts are really good.

"Dreaming. But from this point of view, the last time Taifu Ning sent you two daughters, he really liked you."

"That's just a small role. Taifu Ning's family also has a fifth young lady who is raised in a deep boudoir and rarely comes out, even I have never seen it."

"No way, so mysterious?" No matter how good-looking she is, she can't be more beautiful than Xiang An Xin, so what's the purpose of raising her in a deep boudoir?Cultivate her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?But isn't there Su Huanhuan?Shit, why does this name look like a geisha's name?

The two were chatting, when there was thunderous applause all around, Leng Rutong curled his lips, he didn't realize how good his piano skills were, but his piano skills were better than the average Qianjin's, but he was qualified to do it Palace musicians.

"You are worthy of being the most talented woman in the world in Yege City, and your reputation is well-deserved." A sound of praise reached Leng Rutong's ears, and Leng Rutong shrank into Ye Fengya's arms impatiently, Ye Fengya asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"I feel speechless for these people who are making a fuss." Leng Rutong smiled and pinched Ye Fengya's handsome face: "My husband has the best eyesight, and knows that this lady is a treasure."

Ye Fengya smiled dotingly: "You don't feel irritable when you praise yourself so much."

"The truth, otherwise, how could the third prince and Ni Qianlong treat me like that..." Leng Rutong heard the expression on Ye Fengya's dark face, and quickly stopped talking: "Haha, I made a mistake. Wrong. Listen to the music.” 13acv.

But the song over there had stopped, and Su Huanhuan came to their table calmly and said with a smile, "I have heard that the Seventh Prince is intelligent, and I wonder if Huanhuan is lucky enough to see the Seventh Prince's talent."

Leng Rutong sat up straight slightly and smiled bitterly: "I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I won't show my shame in front of the rumored number one talented woman in Yege City."

Su Huanhuan's face was slightly displeased when she heard this, and this stinky girl actually said that she was the rumored number one talented woman.Just now so many people recognized her and praised her for her well-deserved reputation.

The fifth prince on the side heard the smell, he always thought that Leng Rutong was a master with ideas, and immediately said: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean, Miss Su's number one talented daughter is just a false name?"

As soon as these words were made clear, the audience was in an uproar. How dare a woman who knew nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting dare to say that about the number one talented woman?

"I didn't say that, I was talking about you, the fifth prince." Leng Rutong denied it with a smile, which caused the superior Concubine Ning to make things difficult: "The seventh concubine can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so how can she know?" Appreciating the talent of the number one talented woman, isn't it a blind man trying to figure out an elephant."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of sneering on the field, Leng Rutong sat there noncommittal, leaning lightly into Ye Fengya's arms: "A woman, what kind of talent do you need, to be able to serve your husband well and make him like you Well, how many men really care about your talent, so what if you have talent, if you marry a husband and teach your children, you can't be a female official to benefit the people, and you can't make money."

Ye Fengya hugged her in her arms and said with great agreement: "Tong'er is right, a woman who has no talent is a virtue."

Leng Rutong squinted at him, and whispered in his ear: "You really think so?"

Ye Fengya smiled lightly: "Of course not, I'm the only one who knows about my Tong'er." In his eyes, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are indeed not talents. Like Tong'er, he can use his wit to benefit himself and protect his own Talent is the real talent.

Leng Rutong ignored Su Huanhuan indifferently, making Su Huanhuan go back, thinking that this Leng Rutong was not easy to deal with.

"Even if the seventh imperial concubine can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, today is the emperor's birthday. As a courtier's daughter-in-law, should I also add to the fun?" An annoying voice came from Ning Huanyu's mouth. Even if she endured her own incompetence, he would He didn't intend to let her go, he had to make a fool of her clumsy talent.

"That's right, the seventh imperial concubine will also come for a while."

"The seventh imperial concubine must be modest."

A group of people followed suit, as if they were unwilling to see Leng Rutong make a fool of himself.

Leng Rutong didn't panic, sat up straight and stood up, her eyes were shining, looking forward to radiance, her beautiful clothes set off her icy and jade skin, burning her, like a lotus emerging from water, shining like spring flowers, bright as Qiuyue.
