concubine on top

Chapter 17 Birthday Banquet

The little emperor walked around in the bedroom with his clothes on, until he sneezed more than a dozen inexplicably before jumping into bed in fear—thank God, the soup for treating wind and cold tasted too weird, and he didn't want to drink a second bowl.

But that unexplained kiss still planted roots in his heart, so that when he saw Shen Yanchuan in the next few days, he couldn't help but feel jealous:

Shen Yanchuan rang the bell to wake him up in the morning, and stared at him because of the supervision during the daily talk. When the two of them met, he would curl his mouth and look away: Hmph, vicious man, don't think that I don't know that you are seducing me, I can't sit still!

Shen Yanchuan walked away during the meal, and said goodbye to him neatly at night and left, he scoffed again in his heart: playing hard to get, just to make me remember, so I won't be fooled.When I take you in, I have to take back all the advantages, hum!

The more the little emperor thought about that kiss, the more he felt that Shen Yanchuan had ulterior motives, and finally came to a conclusion - the situation in the harem was imperative, Shen Yanchuan couldn't escape!

At the same time, Shen Yanchuan gradually frowned.

He often saw the little emperor sitting there, not saying a word, but the expression on his face was constantly changing, sometimes angry, sometimes narrow, sometimes preoccupied, sometimes with a weak smile, his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth moved , such a lively face - he couldn't help but suspect that the emperor might have kissed him foolishly.

Just when the two of them were guessing each other's minds, Shen Yanchuan's birthday party was staged in the harem with great fanfare.

According to Shen Yanchuan's idea of ​​not affecting the emperor's study and handling of political affairs, the banquet was set at noon, and the little emperor rushed to the harem with Shen Yanchuan after attending the morning lecture.

Because the beautiful vision is about to come true, today's little emperor changed his bad face a few days ago, and restored the previous heartless smile.Holding a heart that was pounding with excitement, he enthusiastically pointed out this palace and that palace to Shen Yanchuan along the way, and finally the two came to a palace with an excellent location, and he held his head up and said, "Look, this is my palace. I gave it to you, isn’t it beautiful? It’s also a concubine, your palace is bigger than Concubine Tong’s!”

The little emperor's tone is self-satisfied, because he is proud that he has done a good job in the play.The palace he chose this time, which is also the venue for the banquet, is magnificent from the outside, and the plaque is repainted in gold; after entering the door, the corridor in the courtyard is decorated with pots of exotic flowers and plants, and the door of the banquet hall is wide open , you can see the thrones and screens inside from a distance, and the incense burner in the center has been incensed since the morning. Now the air is lingering with a fragrant breath, which makes people feel very peaceful and comfortable.

Shen Yanchuan looked around, took a panoramic view of those beautiful arrangements, everyone serving at the corner, and every glazed tile on the roof, and then said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The two then walked into the hall.Four seats were placed under the hall, and now three people have taken their seats.The little emperor introduced his few harem by the way, and then led Shen Yanchuan up, one sitting in the main seat in the middle, and the other sitting in the birthday seat on the side.

The little emperor glanced down: "There is still one concubine Tong, and we will have a banquet when we are all here."

The little Fuzi at the side understood, and turned to Qiulu Garden to invite Concubine Tong. After finishing speaking, the little emperor touched his sleeve subconsciously, and suddenly realized a fact - oops, he forgot the fragrant dates!

The jujube he asked Xiaofuzi to prepare this time was specially made, stuffed with a lot of odor-filtering powder, and the effect was outstanding, not ordinary jujubes could be substituted. The few people who counted were waiting in the hall, looking at the people around him at this moment, there was no one smart enough to fetch it for him.

After some weighing, the little emperor still decided to go there in person, so that he would not be able to come to the scene of the "Hare of Trouble and Chaos" in person before he fainted and had no way to go.

So he smiled and stood up again: "I'm going to pay my respects, I'll be back right away, you can do whatever you want, if Concubine Tong comes, it doesn't matter if you start the banquet first."

As soon as the little emperor left, the thoughts of the people below became alive, and their eyes turned to Shen Yanchuan who was at the top.

Today Shen Yanchuan wore a satin white gown, a water-red long gown was put on over the white gown in response to the birthday celebration, and a layer of light red gauze like smoke was covered over the long gown, and he sat there with his white face The red-clothed black hair, although no makeup was applied, was extremely fresh.

At the ceremony just now, the concubines at the lower ranks all bowed their heads. Now that they had admired Concubine Yan's demeanor, they were all speechless for a moment, and their speechlessness was different—for those who were told to just watch Chu Cairen was simply surprised that men dressed women so well; for Yu Meiren, who had the greatest hope of being alone with Shen Yanchuan, she was shocked that a man could be so ridiculously beautiful. I don't know how the emperor changed his mind so many times. Looking at him; for Wang Jieyu who didn't seem to cause Shen Yanchuan any impulse at all, so he was told to give up the palace fight and wait for orders, it was like a torrent of jealousy!

While Shen Yanchuan turned his head to listen to Yu Meiren's friendly and auspicious words, Wang Jieyu tucked her hands into her sleeves and tightly grasped the hilt of the dagger, thinking in her heart: "What are you waiting for...but I just fell in love with beautiful women I can't bear to do it... See if my aunt doesn't shave her into a bald... Anyway, it's only a few months of confinement at most..."

She ran away for a while, and when she focused again, the poppies over there mistakenly thought that the emperor's departure was a signal, and they started their plan in one go: "The concubine has prepared a gift, and this thing has to be in a dark place to see its specialness." , put it in the side hall, now that the banquet is not in session, the empress should take a look first?"

As soon as the question came out, all the people involved in the plan looked at Shen Yanchuan with trepidation, waiting for his answer.

At this time, Wang Jieyu suddenly interjected: "Mei Yu, do you understand the rules? Your status is below this Palace, so if you want to present a gift, it should be this Palace that presents the gift first."

The poppy project was going well, but it was suddenly criticized, which is really inexplicable.But she was irrational for a while, and there was no one around to help her, so she could only watch Wang Jieyu take Concubine Yan out of the palace; Chu Cairen had nothing to do in the first place, watching the excitement was no big deal, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and tiptoed followed.

Outside the palace, Wang Jieyu walked ahead, feeling secretly refreshed.

Right now, she not only snatched the opportunity of Meiren Poppy's promotion, but also immediately wiped out Concubine Yan's appearance and arrogance, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and it couldn't be better!

Wang Jieyu suppressed a smile, and walked more and more remote along the way, Shen Yanchuan followed behind, alert in his heart, while keeping an eye on the surroundings, he quietly distanced himself from her, waiting for a while to see the trick.

The two walked onto a jade bridge with nine curves and eighteen bends. Before they passed the rippling lake, Wang Jieyu suddenly stopped, drew her sword and turned around to swing at Shen Yanchuan: "The demon concubine looks at the sword!"
