Chapter 60 The Emperor's Birthday

After returning to her room, Yu Cixin sat by the bed, staring blankly at the hand she held Shangguan Ye just now, what happened to her?It's just holding Shangguan Ye's hand, why did she run away like that, as if she had a guilty conscience.

Yuci stretched out his hand to rest his forehead, sighed helplessly, then fell back straight, lying on his back on the soft bed.

"Princess, just now a jade shop sent a jade screen, saying that you sent it here. Is Ziya going to put it in the small warehouse?" Ziya's inquiry came from outside the house, obviously The gift she ordered for Yu Wenli earlier arrived.

"No, just carry it in and put it in the room." Yu Cixin sat up from the bed and ordered.

Then I heard Zi Ya whispering something to someone outside the door, and then the door of the room was pushed open, and two men who looked like servants brought in the carved jade screen and placed it beside the dressing table.

Yu Cixin walked to the screen, walked around it carefully, and after confirming that it was the one she had chosen was correct, she asked Zi Ya to go to the small warehouse to pick up the silver ticket and send it to the jade shop.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was June [-]th. Early in the morning, colorful lanterns were festively hung up in the capital. The hawkers on the street were all smiling, and all kinds of "longevity" characters were pasted in front of the shops. There was joy in the city.

The emperor's birthday is naturally celebrated by the whole country.

On this day, Yu Cixin put on a set of light purple Guangzhou embroidered Liuxian palace dress, combed in a cloud bun, two strands of hair hanging down her ears, and paired with a pair of purple jade hibiscus earrings. Her beauty showed.

When Yu Cixin went out, Shangguan Ye had already packed up and waited for her outside the gate of the mansion.

Today's Shangguan Ye is still dressed in a purple robe, with a gold and silver belt tied around his waist. His expression is as indifferent as ever, and he looks the same as usual.

The two got into the carriage, and Yu Cixin took a look at Shangguan Ye's clothes. The color scheme was the same as her own, and it looked like she was wearing a couple's outfit from a distance.

The carriage drove unhurriedly to the front of the palace gate. Shangguan Ye jumped out of the carriage first, then turned around and led Yu Cixin out of the carriage, just like at the last banquet.

The two held hands and entered the palace gate side by side. The clothes that complemented each other looked like a pair of jade couples to the people behind them. Of course, if Jiu Qiansui's identity as an eunuch was ignored.

This time it was Yu Wenli's birthday, so the banquet was held in the imperial garden, which was an open-air venue.And the weather is beautiful, today's weather is very good, although it is already early summer, but the sun is shining warmly, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Not long after Yu Cixin and Shangguan Ye sat down in their seats, Yu Wenli came over surrounded by a group of people.His face was flushed and he looked refreshed. It seemed that he was very happy today.

After a group of people knelt down and saluted and congratulated, a little eunuch announced at the gate of the imperial garden that so-and-so from which country had come, and what gifts to send to congratulate the holy majesty on a happy birthday.After a half-hour briefing, the envoys who came to congratulate each other sat on the table one by one.

Yu Wenli was very happy to be congratulated by the Quartet. He waved his big hand and the banquet started, and the sound of silk and bamboo rang out, and the figures of dancers danced with the music, stepping into the arena step by step. The enchanting body is swinging on the top, attracting the eyes of the surroundings.

Because it was Yu Wenli who celebrated his birthday, not only the envoys from various countries, the courtiers from the Yunluo Kingdom, but also the courtiers' family members attended the banquet this time, and those family members sat behind the courtiers.

There were also two concubines sitting next to Yu Wenli, one of them was Ren Yueying, the youngest daughter of Doctor Yushi who had recently been promoted to Concubine Shu, and the other was Ye Xinrou, the imperial concubine who had been loved by him for many years. Serving him wholeheartedly, there is flattery and flattery in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, today is your birthday. Wouldn't it be too monotonous if you just eat and drink like this and watch the performances of the dancers?" On the plate in front of him, the voice whispered with a smile.

"Oh? What does Concubine Shu think?" Hearing this, Yuwen looked at Ren Yueying with raised eyebrows, waiting for her next words.

"Your Majesty, you see that there are so many envoys and your courtiers here today, and there are also the family members of the courtiers. The concubines just checked, and there are many ladies and gentlemen among the family members. Anyway, the banquet will continue for a while. How about letting those princes and ladies show off their talents at the banquet, which can not only add to the fun of the emperor's birthday, but also let them know each other, if they see it right in the future, it can be regarded as a good thing that the emperor has done today, right?" Shu The concubine spoke out what was in her heart, and looked at Yu Wenli, with a look of expectation in her eyes.

Long before the banquet started, Concubine Shu's mother went into the palace and told her something.The emperor's princes, apart from those who have already gone to be the concubine, there are also a few who have just grown up and have not yet married. Although their Ren family already has a concubine Shu, who knows what will happen in the future? what will happen?

The emperor is already 60 years old, sooner or later a prince will be established, they might as well make plans early.

She is Concubine Shu. Instead of being lucky enough to conceive a dragon seed and give birth to her, it is better to curry favor with an adult prince with good qualifications. will be a good choice.

So there was Concubine Shu's proposal.

Concubine Rou saw everything in her eyes, a smile of ambiguous meaning appeared on her lips, then she glanced at the unmarried princes in the audience, and then at the man sitting behind Ren Hong, the doctor of imperial history. Several young girls sneered in their hearts: The Ren family and Concubine Shu really have a good plan!
"Well, Concubine Shu's idea is very good, I'm sure." Yuwen nodded with a sharp smile, then raised his hand to summon the little eunuch to order carefully.

After a while, the little eunuch understood what he meant, pushed back the dancers who were still dancing in the audience, and said Yu Wenli's will again in a thin voice while holding a handle of floating dust, and then It is stated that if the envoys of various countries are interested in this, they can also perform on stage.

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers' family members all winked at each other, and secretly competed.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know what the intention of this idea was at a glance. Apart from adding to the fun of the emperor's birthday banquet, it was simply a blind date in disguise.

Especially those women who were waiting for marriage, they looked at the unmarried princes who had just grown up, all of them were shy and timid, and wished they could marry one of them on the spot.

Soon, the little eunuch prepared a bamboo tube with a lot of bamboo sticks in it. Many numbers were marked on the bamboo sticks from small to large.

The little eunuch walked around the crowd with the bamboo tube in his arms. Soon, the bamboo sticks were all drawn. He returned to the stage in the arena again, announced the start of the performance under Yu Wenli's nod, and let the first number be drawn. The person who signed it came to the stage.
