On the seventh day of September in the sixth year of Yongxing, this day was the birthday of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
Early in the morning, Crown Prince Xiao Changyao personally led the crowd to salute, and together with King Xiao Changling of Qin, King Xiao Changche of Yuzhang, and relatives of nearby clans, they played "Yangguan Santie" in unison, accompanied by Huang Zhongda Lu's string music. , the sound went straight into the sky, the sound stopped the moving clouds, and the etiquette was extremely solemn.
The formal birthday celebration was held in the "Phoenix Pavilion" on the top floor of the Phoenix Temple; after the celebration, it was His Majesty the Emperor's birthday banquet. The Empress moved downstairs, where the Crown Prince Xiao Changyao and the King of Qin Xiao Changling The three princes, King Xiao Changche of Yuzhang, also followed in the footsteps of the emperor and empress, and brought a group of relatives and nobles to the foot of the Phoenix Temple.
The Emperor Zhou's "Eternal Banquet" was not held in the Phoenix Pavilion like the birthday ceremony just now, nor in the quiet back garden, but in the main hall of the West Garden of the Phoenix Temple - "Chenglin" temple".
Set against the backdrop of large expanse of lush and slender bamboos and seasonal flowers, the brightly lit Chenglin Hall, with its blue bricks and black tiles, carved beams and painted pillars, further highlights the antique beauty of the royal palace.
The main hall and the side hall of Chenglin Hall are not too far apart. They form a wide rectangular square as far as the field of vision can reach. In the middle is a pool of crystal clear blue water with beautiful strips of water. The koi carp, with silver scales and swaying tail, is swimming freely, the water is rolling up, and it is so comfortable.
At this time, although it is early autumn and there is no fragrance of green lotus, the surrounding pines and bamboos are green and shiny, red peony trees are planted in pavilions, goldenrods are plump and bright, and the birds are singing. , the music of silk and bamboo orchestral music is endless, and it increasingly presents a pleasant and peaceful autumn scenery, which makes people forget to leave.
The emperor's birthday banquet was held on the platform in front of Chenglin Hall. The long corridor of the palace steps traversed the surrounding square, just blocking the direct light of autumn. Sitting here, tasting the finest royal delicacies, smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants everywhere, and seeing fish swimming in the water, everyone's mood is instantly immersed in this colorful scenery, and it is difficult to extricate themselves. ; The autumn evening wind blew by, gently blowing the bamboo forest outside Chenglin Hall, mixed with the faint fragrance of the bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound, like the sound of nature, shaking off the frost and flowers left by the morning sun. Dew, silent.
At the moment, the candlelight in front of Chenglin Hall was brilliant, and the colorful screens were displayed. The hunting west wind blew the apricot-yellow dragon flag erected on the high platform to a fluttering sound. In the center of the square below Danqi, a grand banquet had already been arranged. However, no one from the Xiao clan, headed by the three brothers Xiao Changyao, Xiao Changling, and Xiao Changche, and the courtiers headed by Xie Hao, Xie You, Wang Yun, and Ling Tao took their seats. It is the custom of Nuxi to line up according to seniority and juniority, and everyone stands in silence and waits.
Behind them were thousands of dancing girls, acrobats and royal guardsmen in golden armor. At this moment, everyone was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Ninth Five-Year Master. Come.
The autumn colors are getting thicker and thicker, and the colorful lanterns hanging high in front of Chenglin Hall are constantly swaying in the strong wind. Xiao Changling put his hands behind his back and stood solemnly in front of the huge food table. He remained motionless, letting the autumn wind roll up his white clothes and the long black cloak on his shoulders; he saw that this young man At the age of sixteen, the King of Jingbei, who is already dominating the battlefield and in charge of 120,000 elite cavalry, always has a smile as light as spring water on his tall and peaceful face, and his quiet and deep star eyes are also shining. The cold light, as sharp as a sharp blade, struck straight at the empty throne on the platform, and he remained silent for a long time. It was only then that he truly realized that his father was the only support for this country and the soul that held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people together.
Not long after, the golden bell in the palace rang, signaling the arrival of the Holy Emperor. At this moment, countless clan officials standing in the audience were all dressed up and waiting with bated breath; Xiao Changling also raised his head proudly, and stepped firmly and steadily on his feet wearing Feiyun boots. On the fertile soil under his feet, there was no movement at all. At the same moment, two cold-sword-like gazes slowly swept across the Chenglin Hall, and soon it became calm again, silent and without any ripples.
After a while, the emperor and empress walked out of the inner hall. Emperor Xiao Longxian of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wearing the crown of the emperor, looked indifferent, holding the elbow of the nobleman beside him, walked up the golden steps side by side with empress Dugu Yuanji, and both took their seats.
"Your Majesty may live forever!"
"Your Majesty may live forever!"
Seeing the emperor and empress sitting proudly on the throne, for a moment, all the civil and military officials standing in awe and the golden-armored forest troops arrayed in the audience were so excited that they all knelt down in the open square. Thousands of people shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Endless life! Your Majesty has endless life!"
Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of the mountains, His Majesty the Emperor's deep gaze gradually drew closer from the endless mountains in the distance, and fell on the thousands of people kneeling on the ground in front of him; the emperor's pair of dragon eyes glanced at He passed by the prince Xiao Changyao who was dressed in Yuan Dynasty clothes, passed by the nervous and still young King of Yuzhang Xiao Changche, passed by Situ Xie Hao of Zhilan Yushu, and finally fell indifferently on Xiao Changling's handsome and stern face. On the way, Xiao Long first noticed that there was a hint of joy on this boy's face that was not easily noticed by others, but it could not be hidden from the eyes of Emperor Zhou.
The nobles sang the salute loudly, and after the ceremony was completed, Xiao Long raised his arm to signal everyone to take their seats in order, and then looked at the golden cup on the table.
In order to host this birthday banquet, the furnishings in front of Chenglin Hall were completely new. Those who are qualified to participate in the birthday banquet are seated on both sides of the platform according to their status. The male members of the clan are on the left seat, while the female relatives of the princes and nobles are seated on the platform by low mica and gold screens. Separated by gauze curtains and bead curtains, seats are set up in an independent area on the right front of the golden steps; as for the seats of civil and military officials, they are seated on the left and right according to their rank. The lower the rank, the farther away from the throne. And those officials below the fifth rank were not even qualified to participate in the banquet. They could only stand quietly in the middle of the square like a large number of imperial guards.
First of all, those sitting in the first row below the emperor and empress are none other than the Crown Prince Xiao Changyao and the Crown Princess Cao Qingxi. Xiao Changling’s seat is at the head of the royal family, just below the Crown Prince’s seat, and behind them are King Xiao Changche of Yuzhang, King Xiao Longxu of Chu, King Xiao Longqing of Han, King Xiao Longan of Song and other princes and kings were present.
At the same time, as a veritable scholar leader and literary leader in the world today, Xie Hao's seat was placed at the top of the list of officials, followed by Zhongshu Menxia, Liubu Shangshu, the Xie family of Chenjun, and the Wang family of Langya. The young children of the two major families also gradually took their seats.
On the west side of the platform, separated by a thin gauze curtain, the back was filled with girls from various noble houses in the capital, such as Li Yan, Ling Zhilan, Ming Yurou, and Huayang, the only daughter of King Longxu of Chu. Princess Xiao Ruchan and the three princesses of King Longqing of Han were all sitting behind the gauze curtain at this moment. Of course, this also included Xie Wanxin, who was wearing an aqua skirt with a touch of pink and white.
However, they saw that the seats where the girls were sitting were slightly surrounded by screens and gauze curtains. Xie Wanxin was sitting upright with her makeup on, demure and elegant. She was wearing an aqua skirt and fairy mantle, which further reflected the tenderness of the girl. ; She sat quietly behind the gauze curtain, motionless, not even a trace of the red coral beads hanging down from her forehead had been washed away. Her slim and graceful figure was like a weak willow tree supporting the wind, standing tall and graceful.
Xie Wanxin was sitting behind the curtain, her eyes as clear as autumn water, now turned into a warm spring breeze, floating outside the curtain; suddenly, a tall and straight figure in white appeared in front of Xie Wanxin's charming eyes , Xiao Changling's handsome appearance, resolute silhouette, and piercing eyes are like the strings on the guqin, teasing the girl's budding spring heart, and are like the sound of a clear flute, teasing Miss Xie Si's heart. Fawn.
In front of the Chenglin Hall, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty stood tall, wearing a black twelve-chapter imperial robe, an emperor's crown on his head, twelve strings of white jade beads, hanging down slowly, covering His Majesty's Majesty the Emperor's head. With half a face, Xiao Longxian sat upright, looking around at the royal family and nobles in the audience with his calm and authoritative eyes.
Today, except for Princess Xiao Yingxue of Pingyang, who was in charge of the army in the west and did not return to the capital, almost all the princes and important ministers in the capital were present and no one was absent.
Xiao Long first held the golden cup, faced everyone present slightly, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Everyone, today is my birthday. I will prepare a small cup of wine to drink with you."
Everyone raised their wine glasses together, loudly wishing the Holy Emperor a long life, and then drank it all in one gulp. At the same time, Xiao Changling also smiled faintly, looking at his father on the dragon throne with a solemn look, and was secretly talking to the emperor. Not long after their eyes met, he gently raised the wine glass in front of the desk, raised his head slightly, and drank all the purple and red wine in the glass without leaving a drop.
"Sword dance, get up——"
After a while, drums and music were blaring in the huge square, and the sound of strings was ringing.
In an instant, dozens of dancers in military uniforms, accompanied by sonorous syllables, stepped into the middle of the square, ready to dance at any time; compared to those enchanting and colorful court musicians, these dozens of dancers were more like Different and unique. Looking from a distance, I saw that they were all beautiful and graceful. They were all wearing military light armor and holding soft swords. They looked like heroines.
This kind of dance is exactly the large-scale song and dance that was famous in Beijing at that time and once amazed and amazed all the countries in the Western Regions - "Women's Sword Dance".
The sword dance begins.
The moon-white screen obscures the faces of the beautiful dancers, but the graceful figures appear even more mysterious, making people want to move away from the screen to get a glimpse of the beauties and the grace of the dancers.
Accompanied by the rising and falling melodies, the dancers moved with great grace. They danced the sword in an extremely eccentric manner, wrapping their hands with red silk and tying the sword at the end. Following the rhythm of the drums, they performed an indescribably beautiful sword dance.
Under the gaze of everyone, dozens of dancing girls, holding soft swords in their hands, stopped in the sky, dancing with ribbons on their lapels and flying skirts. The long swords in their hands emitted bursts of sword light, setting off their graceful dance steps; Holding the sword on his wrist, he jumped up and danced... with his graceful and graceful posture, like clouds rolling and relaxing, he danced across the country unknown to the king.
At this moment, everyone here, from the revered emperor and empress, to the royal family ministers, to the more than a thousand imperial guards standing in armor, seemed to have countless pairs of eyes, staring at their light and vigorous dance, and only felt that During this grand event, the front of the palace was brightly lit and transformed into a lofty pavilion; a large piece of narrow-sleeved cloth was transformed into seven layers of brocade clothing in an instant, stunning the world with its brilliance.
He emerged from the world like an immortal, proud and independent, as if an immortal descended to the earth, making people dare not look at him, and suddenly he felt a burst of splendor before his eyes; his purple clothes were fluttering in the wind, his long hair was pouring down, his purple clothes were like flowers, and his long sword beat the snow. Totally elegant.
In this sword dance, although everything between the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes is full of cold and charming charm, the body points, lifts, legs raised, sleeves turned, and the gaps between the rotations are like flowing clouds and flowing water; accompanied by this melancholy drum music, The pause and rise are not like a sword dance, but like a sacrificial dance, more like a person dancing with a sword.
The whole court is full of sword energy!
The cool breeze came, and the white jade crown tied in Xiao Changling's hair, with a long white scarf hanging from the eaves, swayed gently in the wind, as if with the help of a rafter-like pen, it added a touch of chill to the dark night. The light, even if you stand on the flat ground and glance upward, is still so eye-catching.
A dark cloak on his shoulders, lined with white clothes, wrapped around the tall and straight figure of the Lord of Jingbei; Xiao Changling's angular face showed his usual calm, without any expression or joy. Wu Bei, with a pair of eyes as sharp as snow and cold knives, stared at the sword dance of the woman of His Highness Chenglin. Deep in the clear eyes, a biting cold air slowly seeped out, and then recovered in an instant, returning to the silence. An ethereal realm.
Looking at this beautiful sword dance, Xiao Changling's eyes vaguely showed pictures of overlapping movement and stillness:
A bright moon shines like water, moving back and forth among the clouds. The clouds in the sky are chasing the moon's brisk footsteps. A fairy in the sky walks out of the Yuehua Palace, leaving behind only tenderness.
Her wide long sleeves carry the passion of the clouds, weaving the thousands of miles of sky into a brilliant cloud brocade; her body is filled with silver-white moonlight, cutting out a bright neon line on the starry night side of Magpie Bridge. , hanging horizontally in the sky.
Gradually, this neon light gathered into a sword aura in an instant; the sword aura was like a sigh from heaven and earth, striking Xiao Changling's heartstrings that had been silent for a long time and never stopped.
As a result, the boundless sky suddenly turned into chaos. In a daze, Xiao Changling seemed to feel that he had pulled out his dark sword named "Chengying" from the depths of the scabbard and soared into the sky. Jumping up, dancing gracefully with Wan'er.
His long sword cut through the clouds, mountains and foggy ridges, splitting a bolt of lightning between the sky and the earth; his long sword pierced the clouds and rain waves, awakening waves of lightning in the depths of the universe and galaxies. Thunder.
Xiao Changling's sword and Xie Wanxin's rainbow clouds were intertwined. His Highness King Qin's masculine body surrounded Miss Xie's graceful figure and condensed together; Xiao Changling's flaming gaze and Xie Wanxin's clear eyes like autumn water gently collided together, wiping out a faint spark.
At this time, Xiao Changling turned her body into a giant dragon deep in her thoughts, and Xie Wanxin beside her was clearly the colorful phoenix clinging to her. The dragon and phoenix appeared in auspiciousness, and the luan and phoenix sang in harmony, soaring wantonly. In the vast sea of stars.
Lightning flashed suddenly, Xiao Changling held the sword in his backhand, stretched out his generous right hand, took Xie Wanxin's graceful long sleeve, quickly rotated, flew, and circled; in the flowing clouds, the breeze brought by Xie Wanxin's dancing posture floated on Xiao The top of Changling's snowy sword blade made a series of sounds. It was the clear sound of the summer wind passing through the bamboo forest, and the dazzling sound of the goddess scattering flowers. …
The splendor and brilliance here can be seen in the entire Phoenix Mountain.
The magnificent sound of nature can be heard throughout the Phoenix Temple.
…
The sword dance is over.
The emperor was overjoyed, and the crown prince, together with his family members, once again knelt down with wine and shouted in unison.
"His Majesty the Emperor may live forever!"
The sound came and went, the sound pierced the sky, and the sound was so loud that hundreds of birds returned to their nests.
Emperor Xuan picked up the wine glass and slowly stood up from the throne. The twelve beads on the emperor's crown swayed gently from side to side when the wind blew. Seeing this, the eunuchs on both sides wanted to step forward to help, but Emperor Xuan raised his hand. stop. Emperor Xiao Longxian of the Great Zhou Dynasty, dressed in uniform, walked generously and boldly to the platform and spoke loudly.
"My beloved lords, I joined the army when I was young. Since I set out to conquer the country, I have fought with the country to eliminate evil and harm. I have vowed to sweep away the four seas and level the world. What I have not yet gained is only a corner of Chu and Yan, and I have not yet returned. Now I The great Zhou Dynasty has millions of soldiers, and it depends on the lives of the public, so why not succeed! After the Chu is defeated and the Yan is defeated, there will be no war in the world. I will share the wealth and honor with all the ministers in order to enjoy peace."
As soon as he finished speaking, the king who is universally recognized as the most powerful king today looked up to the sky, laughed, and drank the longevity wine in his cup.
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
In an instant, thousands of people raised their arms, and the mountains roared and the tsunami seemed to swallow up countless creatures in this world.
After three rounds of drinking, the kings of the clan, civil and military ministers, as well as the distinguished relatives of the great meritorious officials began to take turns to present birthday gifts to His Majesty the Emperor.
Some people presented the priceless "Nine Dragon Sword", some presented the goose egg-sized night pearl of the West Sea, some presented the jade Ruyi made from the finest Lantian jade from the Western Regions, and some presented the Crane Purple Pearl made of pure gold. A golden vase with carved patterns, and someone else presented a golden body of "Ma Chao Dragon Bird" carefully carved from blue coral in the East Sea, as well as ink unicorn, Pixiu, Xuanwu ornaments, various pearls, jade, Sichuan brocade, silk and satin, and countless other important gifts. .
As for the gifts presented by the harem, concubines, princes and wives, as well as the concubines, they were in compliance with the rules and regulations. For example, the birthday gift presented by Queen Dugu Yuanji was four volumes of more than 5,000 words, all in Xianbei script. The King of Yuzhang's biological mother, Concubine Yang, presented a pair of emerald watermelons as a congratulatory gift to the "Vajra Prajna Sutra". Princess Xiao Guchan of Huayang County, the daughter of the King of Chu, presented a box of topaz produced in Jingzhou, and Li Yan presented For a set of chrysanthemum pillows, Ling Zhilan presented the "water agarwood" developed by herself, while Ming Yurou presented a set of five hymns...
Princess Xiao Yingxue of Pingyang, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Region, was far away in Ganliang, commanding a hundred thousand troops to suppress the Western Region. She was not in Beijing, but she also sent an envoy to bring birthday gifts: five horses from Qiuci in the Western Region, tall and powerful in appearance, with strong and firm bones. The best horse - "Zhaoye Jade Lion".
After everyone had finished presenting their gifts, the next step was the birthday gift presented by Prince Xiao Changyao.
The crown prince's birthday gift was a long scroll, which seemed unremarkable at first glance. However, when the two Huangmen chamberlains slowly unfolded it, everyone's eyes were deeply attracted at almost the same moment. .
It turned out that this was a birthday message in calligraphy written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - "Congratulations on the birth of the Holy Emperor and good fortune for thousands of years"; I saw that on the long scroll, on the white rice paper, although it was ordinary paper, Although ordinary ink is used, the handwriting is majestic and bold, and the pen is strong and straight, showing the unconventional style of ancient masters.
"Landian Qianqiu is named Wanshoushang.
The wind guides the earth, and the sun shows auspiciousness.
When jade flowers bloom, it is appropriate to move to Huichang.
The egret is dressed in clothes, but the curtain is not yet central.
The legacy has become new customs and old rituals.
The moon holds the flower mirror, revealing the silk sac.
He worships his ancestors in the field and has a banquet in the village of Zhang.
Meditate deeply on the holy virtue and gain the health of all people. "
Xiao Changyao stood up, faced the throne directly in front of him, and bowed longly.
"Father, I have always heard that my father is busy with everything, and the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are so majestic and beautiful. I regret that my father works hard at night, worrying about state affairs, and never has time to travel. Therefore, I have a handwritten volume dedicated to my father. , to express my sincerity."
The emperor's face was still as calm as before. He just glanced at the scroll written by the prince, and the wrinkles on his face quietly opened slightly.
"Okay, the prince is interested." Xiao Long raised his hand gently, indicating to the left and right to accept the scroll.
A moment after the prince presented his birthday gift, Situ Xie Hao, who was the minister and assistant to the third prince of the dynasty, slowly stood up. At this moment, this scholarly leader who was once known as "Xie Jade Bi" by the world in his weak years, stood tall and tall. , with the elegant posture of a contemporary Wen Zong, his sleeves were spread flatly, and he made a big salute uprightly.
"Your Majesty, today is your majesty's eternal birthday. The whole world is celebrating. I have also prepared a small gift to present to your majesty. I hope your majesty will accept it."
Xiao Long first put down the golden cup, with a pair of deep eyes, looking straight at the head of the Xie family who had supported him since childhood, with a smile on his brows and eyes.
"Wen De, you were my best friend when we were in the dormitory. We are called monarchs and ministers, and our relationship is more than brothers. I will definitely appreciate the gifts you give me."
"Yes, Your Majesty, bring it up!" Xie Hao bowed and then waved gently.
Soon, two or three golden-armored guardsmen carried an exquisite screen and walked up to the emperor. It was a six-leaf red sandalwood screen inlaid with gold and glazed glass, with a few lines of poems dripping with ink written on it. It is still rich and strong, and at first glance, it was written by Xie Hao, a leader in the literary world.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is not Xie Hao's poem, but the picture of Autumn Lotus in the Blue Pond embroidered on the screen. Strictly speaking, this is not a painting, but a true painting. Embroidery is made stitch by stitch on the long silk screen. Although it looks ordinary, if you look closely, you will find that it is different from ordinary tapestry. Not only is the color smooth, the stitching is delicate and flexible, but also , the style is so elegant and noble:
The autumn lotus in the painting is graceful and graceful. Although it is embroidered with needlework, it also outlines the romantic mood between the lotus pods and the lotus leaves, reflecting against the tide, moving clouds and rain, and blooming in the pool, which exactly reflects the artistic conception of the poem in the painting. .
Emperor Xuan sat on the throne, staring at the clear poems and autumn lotus on the screen. The more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became. "Come closer." When the screen was presented to the emperor, Emperor Xuan leaned forward and stroked it with his hand. He felt extremely comfortable.
"This is?"
"Your Majesty, this is what my little girl did to congratulate His Majesty for a long time. It is a small gift, but it is not respectful. I hope Your Majesty will not dislike it." Xie Hao said in a low voice with his sleeves rolled up.
Hearing this, Xiao Longxian suddenly smiled, without the imperial majesty he had just shown.
"Oh? Could it be that she is the fourth girl from the Wende family? What a pair of skillful hands she has!"
"Thanks to His Majesty's love, she is my little girl." Then, Xie Hao turned his head, looked at the gauze curtain where the female family members gathered, and said softly.
"Yaoyao, I haven't met your majesty yet."
The gauze curtain slowly opened.
When she heard her father's familiar voice, Xie Wanxin, who had been sitting quietly behind the curtain, finally straightened out the cloud sleeves of her aqua dress. Her long black hair flowed elegantly along the flowing cloud bun. After brushing it behind her, she stood up after a long while; with her skirts gently swaying, she had meandered out of the brocade gauze curtain, walked slowly to the red carpet in front of the emperor, and stood tall, like a fairy gracefully descending to earth.
At this moment, everyone's eyes at the banquet were all focused on this beautiful girl. Miss Xie Si stood in front of the emperor. She was wearing an aqua skirt, which was particularly eye-catching. Her fresh and beautiful flowing cloud bun was decorated with white jade hairpins. , under the light of the autumn sun, it shines brightly, like a water hibiscus, and its delicate and bright appearance makes it more human-like and lovable.
When Xie Wanxin slowly walked up to the imperial court, Xiao Changling's eyes met with Wan'er's bright and tender pupils early on; all kinds of emotions and tenderness were all reflected in the eyes of the two. The electric light and flint gently lingered up, condensing into a mirror lake with rippling blue waves. When the wind blew, a circle of ripples could appear, until it occupied their hearts.
However, the momentary gaze passed in a flash, and the two people who were in love immediately withdrew their gaze; the hard line of Xiao Changling's lips suddenly pulled in, revealing a bright smile, which dispersed the Phoenix Mountain. There were layers of dense mist.
At the same time, Xiao Changyao's gaze fell on Xie Wanxin unknowingly. At this moment, the Crown Prince's pupils shrank, his eyes gradually became empty, and he fell into endless confusion.
Xiao Changyao recognized her. She was the woman he had just met at the Phoenix Temple. It turned out that she was Xie Situ's beloved daughter, Miss Xie Si, who was the most talented and beautiful girl in the capital. A dazzling figure that moved the world, she crashed into His Royal Highness, Ning Ji, was deep in his heart.
However, when he saw the woman he had longed for for a long time, she was staring quietly at Xiao Changling's fair face with the pure eyes of a girl, and Xiao Changling was also looking at her with his warm spring eyes. When they looked at each other, a layer of coldness suddenly appeared between Xiao Changyao's brows, so cold and biting.
Xie Wanxin was not aware at this moment that the affectionate gazes of two men were locked on him at the same time; these two men are not only brothers from the same mother, but also powerful enemies who control the general trend of the world. They are the most glorious people in the world today. There are two men, one is the king of Jingbei who dominates the battlefield, and the other is the majestic and strategic crown prince of the country who occupies the East Palace. For Xie Wanxin, who has just begun to fall in love, she does not know that these two brothers from the Tian family are not born in this world. They will become the two most important men in their lives.
"Your Majesty, Xie Wanxin, would like to see your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever and enjoy endless happiness -" Xie Wanxin slowly knelt down, bowed her head slightly and said softly.
"Fourth girl." His Majesty the Emperor on the throne put down the golden cup in his hand and calmly stared at the girl in green in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips.
Facing the emperor's deep and direct gaze, Xie Wanxin raised her thin chin proudly, her face still as clear as a flower.
"Your Majesty, do you recognize my daughter?"
Emperor Xuan held up his palm, first looked at the queen beside him who was dressed in red, and then glanced at Xiao Changling who was dressed in white and snowy underneath, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Of course I know you. Erlang has mentioned you in front of me more than once. The Queen must have met you. Oh..., by the way, I remember that I hugged you when you were just born. Unexpectedly , she became a big girl in the blink of an eye.”
Xie Wanxin smiled shyly, which further highlighted the girl's innocence.
By this time, everyone had basically finished their birthday gifts. The emperor's eyes fell lightly on a young man in eye-catching white clothes. At the end of the Zhou emperor's sharp gaze, Xiao Changling sat alone in front of the wine table, his hands flat. The ground is pressed against the pattern of the table, and the two handsome sword eyebrows are condensed with the cold and soul-stirring sword energy, as if one sword can cut off the shackles of the troubled world. Coupled with the cheeks that have long been covered with murderous aura and frost, a touch of The chilling awe gradually gushed out.
Seeing Xiao Changling so calm and composed, His Majesty the Emperor's face showed a dazzling majesty and power.
"Erlang, don't you have anything to say to your father?!"
In an instant, Xiao Changling raised his head proudly, and his black and white eyes were like a rain of arrows pouring down from the sky, covering the man who occupies the supreme throne, has been called the solitary Taoist for several years, and commands thousands of great people. His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou people, a peaceful smile slowly appeared on his lips, sweeping away the warm spring feeling before and became calm and calm.
…
In front of Chenglin Hall, the singing and dancing were still going on, but the Tian family father and son were speechless.
