Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 94
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Although the requirements are simple, the necessary etiquette is still indispensable. Baiguan's wife entered the palace by name to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. .

The birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager and the wives of the officials was only in name, and the Empress Dowager did not even show her face, which puzzled the officials who came to celebrate the birthday.

The women were all thinking and discussing in secret. Fortunately, Aunt Wei who was next to the Empress Dowager came to report that the Empress Dowager was ill and was resting in Guanju Palace. It's merciless.

The real highlight was the birthday celebration inside the royal family at night. All the concubines and concubines of the eighth rank and above sat in the huge courtyard of Guanju Palace, and there was a spacious stage opposite the main seat.The emperor arrived early in the morning. After drinking tea in the palace for a long time, the queen mother did not come out. Although he felt a little uneasy, he still waited patiently.

After a long time, I heard a shrill voice shouting: "The Empress Dowager is here."

Emperor Jin was overjoyed, and walked forward quickly, but took a slow step, and watched his most dependent mother empress sit on the highest position above the curtain, Emperor Jin looked lonely, and bowed his head and said: "Mother Wanan."

There was a cry of "Queen Dowager Wan'an" below.

The queen mother behind the curtain couldn't see the color clearly, looked at everything below indifferently, and said calmly: "Get up." Seeing everyone get up, she said again: "Today is Aijia's birthday, so don't be so restrained."

Emperor Jin smiled and said: "The queen mother is kind. Tonight, I have prepared a lot of programs for the queen mother. I hope the queen mother will like it."

Faced with the emperor's almost flattering words, the queen mother simply said a word of grace, which shocked the queen who was standing aside, but did not dare to say more.

For a while, no one made a sound, and after a while, the queen said: "Queen Mother, today is your birthday, and there must be a surprise for you!"

"Surprise? Oh, the Ai family also has a surprise for the emperor. When the birthday banquet is over, the Ai family will definitely give the emperor a big surprise."

"The minister there is waiting for the queen mother's surprise." Emperor Jin smiled awe-inspiringly, sitting at the seat next to him, and said to Eunuch Chen: "The birthday banquet begins."

Eunuch Chen bowed, said yes, and then retreated. After a while, Eunuch Chen came back, and a large number of palace people came, and put a lot of exquisite fruit food on each table, which made people salivate.

Mu Wan just ate the fruit on the table without caring about anything else.

In the beginning, it was just the usual singing and dancing, but it took more thought than in previous years. Although the emperor didn't speak, the impatience in his eyes was obvious, but the queen just didn't speak. When the singing and dancing were over, the queen stood up without any confusion Come, said: "Queen Mother, this year my concubine heard that there is a kind of martial art called acrobatics that is widely spread outside the palace. In order to make the Queen Mother happy, I specially invited some from outside the palace. I hope you like it."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded and said, "Let's pass it on."

The queen nodded in agreement, and suddenly, many women in strange clothes came up, no one in the palace had seen them before, and curiosity was written on their faces.After those women went up to meet the queen mother and the emperor, they stepped onto the stage and put on some strange poses.

When the music sounded, I watched those women spit fire, people piled on each other, threw them high, then fell from the sky, and were caught safely.They performed all kinds of dangerous movements with ease, seemingly without any pressure.

All the concubines in the palace were terrified, and almost lost their composure and screamed following a movement.Mu Wan was the most calm at the moment, watching these strange movements a little tiredly, her hands were not idle, and she brought green grapes one after another to her mouth, occasionally looking back at Luoxue Luozhu, but she saw Luoxue He was calmer than himself, but Luo Zhu twisted the handkerchief in his hand into a ball.
