I hide my concubine in a golden house

Chapter 42

She is obviously busy these days, okay?

Staring at Quan Jue for a while, Su Tian felt lucky: "You lied to me, didn't you?"

Quan Jue frowned, with a blank expression on his face: "What did I lie to you?"

Su Tian didn't know what to do, but she didn't want to give up, so she said bravely, "You can play with me here again!"

"?" Quan Yu was still in a daze.

It doesn't look like a joke.

The only hope was also shattered, and Su Tian was extremely upset.

"Sister..." A delicate voice sounded in the song and dance.

Su Tangren's voice was soft, and he was inevitably drowned by the singing and dancing in the room, but it was Su Tian's sharp ears that caught the voice.

Su Tian raised her hand and asked the dancer and musician to stop the dance music first.

The chubby Su Tang stood up wobbly with the help of the nanny, walked to the middle of the banquet, and made a big gift in a dignified manner: "Xiao Wu wishes the third sister a happy birthday today, and wishes the third sister a happy birthday every year." There is today, every year has today.”

Su Tangsheng's pink is tender, and he still has a childish look, and he doesn't know who taught him, but he pretends to be old-fashioned and cute, which makes people feel cute for no reason.

"Come on, come on." Su Tian smiled, went down to the stage and picked up the limp person, kissed her, and handed it to the nurse beside her: "I'm so good at serving you, put more thought into it, don't let me Don't let the fifth princess eat too much after drinking, there will be a big reward when you go back."

Su Tang was young, so some auspicious words were her heart's content, she made a start, and the others followed her one by one to celebrate her birthday and give presents.

"Recently, I just happened to get a piece of coral. The color is quite beautiful. It coincides with the birthday of my wife, so I presented it to His Highness. I wish His Highness every year, every year, every year." The second one stood up was He Qing, and presented A brightly colored red coral.

Coral is a gemstone from the ocean, among which red coral is scarce in resources. Although it is not rare in the palace, it is also extremely precious. It is quite standard for He Qing to send such a gift on behalf of the General's Mansion.

"Thank you General for your generosity, I like it very much." Su Tian waved her hand, and the palace servants carefully lifted it down: "Put it away, and find a place to put it in my palace later."

……

After several young officials delivered the gifts, envoys from the Northern Ming Dynasty, represented by Ren Jingsheng, also stepped forward to offer gifts.

Ren Jingsheng usually behaves casually, but he is not a person who does not know how to measure. He stood up neatly, bowed politely, and said loudly with a smile: "The envoy of Beiming Ren Jingsheng has seen Her Majesty Qianqiu. On behalf of Beiming, I would like to congratulate Qianqiu. Congratulations on the birthday of His Royal Highness, I wish His Highness a thousand years and a thousand years."

"You don't need to be too polite. Your Excellency has come all the way from afar and worked hard."

Su Tian bumped Quan Jue secretly with her elbow: "Are all of you Beiming people born so good-looking? It's amazing. How can he wear that official uniform so beautifully?"

Quan Juan narrowed his eyes without any trace, and said indifferently: "I don't know."

"Oh……"

Su Tian raised her hand, and said to Ren Jingsheng gently: "Your Excellency, please take a seat. I have heard that the envoy from your country has arrived, but my palace is really busy recently, so I didn't see you until today. If there is any place where the hospitality is not good I also ask the ambassador to forgive me."

"Your Highness is too polite. I heard that today is His Highness's birthday, and my imperial emissary has prepared a small gift for His Highness to express our affection."

"Oh?" Su Tian showed appropriate interest at the right time.

"Your Highness, let's see." Ren Jingsheng said as he turned sideways to make way, the thing was covered with a layer of red silk, and it bulged up so much that it couldn't be seen from the outside.

"I don't know what this is? Is the ambassador still trying to get rid of it?"

With a silent smile, Ren Jingsheng lifted the red silk personally...

Everyone's eyes focused on it, and the red silk was slowly lifted, revealing an exquisitely crafted golden bird cage: "Your Highness, please take a look."

Su Tian opened her eyes slightly, and in the cage was a small parrot with bright red feathers, blue-purple necklace-like feathers around the neck, blue-purple under the wings, and a gradual change in the color of the tail from red to orange.

As soon as the parrot saw the light, it yelled happily: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, His Royal Highness."

Someone got up, raised their glasses and sang in harmony: "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old."

The rest of the people then picked up their wine glasses and got up to echo: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

Quan Juan smiled and toasted sideways: "Your Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."

"You don't need to be too polite, just drink to your heart's content." Su Tian ignored everyone's eyes, drank the wine in Quan Juan's hand, and then asked someone to lift the golden bird cage in front of her, teasing her twice.

"Your Excellency, the ambassador, came here from thousands of miles and presented such interesting things. My palace and my son-in-law are very grateful. After the ambassador returns to China, I will thank the monarch of your country for my palace and my son-in-law."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the envoy will definitely convey His Highness's meaning truthfully."

"Okay." Su Tian raised his glass, and said in a very official way: "My palace would like to toast the ambassador again, and hope that Qianqiu and Beiming will live in harmony from generation to generation, and there will be no more wars."

"I wish to share His Highness's wishes." Ren Jingsheng raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After pushing cups and changing cups, several people got up to give congratulatory gifts, and the next ones were the sons of important ministers and princes and grandsons of the three lords, and most of them gave expensive treasures. What kind of abacus are they, just let the palace people accept them one by one.

She didn't care too much about others, she took the wine jug herself, and poured wine for Quan Juan contentedly, no more or no less each time, exactly [-]% full.

"Shen Xiao is not talented, I would like to compose a song live to celebrate His Highness's birthday." A cold male voice sounded in the slightly chaotic environment.

Hearing the sound, Su Tian lowered her eyes slightly and glanced down.

With so many kings and grandchildren present, not to mention all of them are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they must also understand some elegance and music. If they dare to show themselves in front of so many people, they are either too conceited or have some real skills.

But... Shen Xiao?
Is it the Shen Xiao she knows?

Su Tian stared suddenly.

The young man who made the sound was tall and thin, with black hair and white skin, and he had a somewhat bookish air.

"From Taishi Shen's family?"

"Yes."

Su Tian was stunned for a moment before realizing that this is the first son of Grand Master Shen's family.

She knew Shen Xiao before.

But after a long time, Shen Xiao's temperament seems to have changed from her impression, it is too cold, and he doesn't know what he has experienced in the past few years.

Shen Xiao used to study in the palace as the companion of her fourth younger brother. Three years ago, her fourth younger brother fell off a cliff with no bones left. Shen Xiao never entered the palace again after that.

After seeing each other for so many years, she actually doesn't remember much about Shen Xiao's appearance. She only vaguely feels that Shen Xiaosheng in her memory is handsome and refined, with soft and tolerant eyes, gentle and humble attitude towards others, which is attractive to others.
