Prince, the princess calls you to dream

Chapter 25
The autumn is crisp, the weather is fine, and the birthday banquet is held on the square in front of Weiyang Palace.

The color frame is hung high, the flowers are clustered, the sound of string music, and the fragrance of tea and fruit.

When Bai Jiuxiao and Ning Shiqian arrived, almost everyone was there, and there was a lot of noise and excitement.

The performance has already begun, and the dancers are the first to come on stage, all of them have long sleeves fluttering and their dancing postures are enchanting.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged hundreds of table tables and low stools in advance. In addition to various candied melons and fruits, birthday peaches and birthday wine, the table tables were also marked according to their identities.

Seeing Bai Jiuxiao coming, all the female relatives wanted to look but did not dare to look, they only dared to peek out of the corners of their eyes.

"My lord, we have carefully checked the decorations, tables, chairs, and food at the scene, and found nothing unusual." Lu Chengxi and Tongquan came to reply.

Bai Jiuxiao let out a "hmm", went to the most head seat among the officials and sat down with his robe lifted.

The people around stood up and saluted one after another, but she stopped everyone with her hand.

Ning Shiqian stood beside her, looking at her nose and heart.

Lu Chengxi and Tongquan didn't know who he was, and looked at him suspiciously.

Xiangguo Yin Zhizhang asked Bai Jiuxiao: "Is it the new attendant of the Ninth Prince? It looks strange."

"No, an actor from Liyuan, I'm afraid that he will cause trouble, so I put it under my nose." Bai Jiuxiao said softly.

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone didn't ask any more questions.

The harem concubines came one after another.

All are well-dressed and surrounded by palace people.

Emperor Wen was young and had few concubines.

Concubine Xi came from the folk, and Emperor Wen met by chance when he was traveling in a micro-clothes. He fell in love with her at first sight and brought her back to the palace.

Except that she has no background, the other concubines are the daughters of ministers in the court.

Because the back position has been vacant, the daughters of several important ministers are all coveted, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time.

This is also the reason why Emperor Wen preferred Concubine Xi, only she had no intention of succeeding.

All the officials have been admonishing and standing up, but Bai Jiuxiao disagreed, so the matter was delayed again and again.

Concubine Xi came with Emperor Wen, and everyone stood up to meet him.

After Concubine Wendi Xi took her seat, the palace banquet officially began.

Emperor Wen first said some words on the scene, and gave the agate bracelet that Bai Jiuxiao brought back from Yunlai to Concubine Xi in public.

Emperor Wen raised his glass, everyone congratulated, and Concubine Xi was full of spring breeze.

The maids of the Shangshi Bureau filed in and served food for everyone.

Everyone ate while watching the performance on the stage in front of them.

After the dancers finished dancing, Liyuan came on stage, which was very lively.

Sovereign and ministers are happy.

Only Bai Jiuxiao ate in silence while watching the audience with his eyes like a falcon.

Concubine Xi glanced at Bai Jiuxiao, then glanced at the tall and tall man behind her, her eyes darkened slightly, she picked up a cup and took a sip of tea.

On the high platform, Liyuan finished singing and started juggling.

Everyone in the audience was in full swing.

After juggling, the palace banquet is coming to an end.

Concubine Xi suddenly said loudly: "Thank you, the emperor, for organizing this birthday banquet for my concubine, and thank you all present for your blessings. To show my gratitude, this concubine dared to show her shame and perform a little juggling for the emperor and you all."

When Emperor Wen heard this, he became interested: "Aifei can also juggle?"

Concubine Xi smiled shyly: "I just learned it, so I don't know if I can succeed or not? If I can't succeed, the emperor will not allow me to laugh at it."

"It's rare that you have such a heart. How can I laugh at you? It's just that I don't know what kind of juggling my concubine is going to perform?"

Concubine Xi got up from her seat, walked to the open space in front of the emperor and stood still, raised her hand and pulled off a hair ornament from her head.

Showed it to the emperor, then turned around and showed it to everyone in the audience: "This is my hair ornament, please look at it clearly, I will change it to one of you present in a while."

Just one sentence makes everyone more interested.

Emperor Wen smiled and said, "This is not juggling, it's juggling, right?"

Concubine Xi turned her head and gave him an angry look: "The concubine is afraid that if the performance fails, she said juggling to give herself some leeway."

The young emperor smiled happily, with a doting look on his face.

He loves her coquettish look the most.

Concubine Xi took the hair accessory and started dancing.

Today, she is wearing a water-green feather dress with long and wide sleeves. With the movement of her arms, she rises and falls, revealing a bright wrist, which is very sultry.

Kicking and spinning, the dancing posture is no worse than the dancers who performed just now.

I saw her turning faster and faster, and turning faster and faster, until the end, everyone could not see people clearly, and could only see a ball of green flying like a butterfly with wings spread.

Everyone was amazed.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Bai Jiuxiao turned his head and glanced at Ning Shiqian.

Seeing that Ning Shiqian's gaze was cold and seemed unmoved by it, she withdrew her gaze, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly.

He bowed his head and whispered to Lu Chengxi next to him: "Go and inspect the audience."

The more everyone's attention is attracted by something, the more likely it will be taken by those who plan to do something wrong.

Although there were guards patrolling around, she was still worried.

Lu Chengxi understood what she meant, and nodded.

Ning Shiqian was on the sidelines, naturally he saw and heard everything.

More and more sure that when he was in Nuanxiang Pavilion, this man asked him to grind ink and tap his back, it was a temptation for him.

How could someone who is so vigilant and always sober give up his back so easily.

However, I have to admit that it is a blessing for Emperor Dazhao to have this man.

Wen helped him govern the country, and Wu helped him fight wars. At this time, he only cared about the safety of the palace.

Concubine Xi was still spinning, and many people couldn't help cheering.

Ning Shiqian was not surprised.

How can someone who is valued by his father and who can enter the Zhao Palace as a secret son be an ordinary person?

Just when everyone was thinking about when Concubine Xi was going to transfer, Concubine Xi stopped abruptly.

Perhaps because of inertia, she sprained and fell on Emperor Wen's knee.

Emperor Wen quickly caught her in his arms.

Everyone was silent in their hearts, no wonder they were able to win the holy favor alone.

Several concubines wished they could grind their silver teeth to pieces.

Concubine Xi panted slightly, and spread her hands towards Emperor Wen, smiling brightly and movingly: "Look, Your Majesty, it's gone."

At the end, he got up from the emperor's arms again, and showed his hands to the people present: "Look, everyone, it's gone."

In order to prove that she didn't hide it in her sleeve pocket, she pinched a pair of water sleeves in front of everyone, and shook them again.

Emperor Wen looked at it with great interest: "I want to see, who will the hair ornament be on, not me?"

"Of course not. If it was on the emperor, everyone would definitely think that the concubine was cheating. They would definitely think that the concubine was placed on the emperor when the emperor caught the concubine just now, or that the concubine was the same as the emperor. Dude, I sang the double reed with my concubine. So, this thing must be on someone who I have never met before."

"Oh? Who is that?" Emperor Wen's appetite was even more whetted.

Everyone present couldn't wait to know.

Everyone looked at Concubine Xi.

Bai Jiuxiao also looked at her expressionlessly.

Concubine Xi's gaze slowly moved across the audience, and finally landed on Ning Shiqian, then raised her hand and pointed: "He."

　And more, three o'clock in the afternoon~~
