It will be Zhao Mingchen's birthday soon. According to convention, a birthday banquet will be held in the palace, and all the princes and court officials and women will be invited to enter the palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday. This year should be no exception.

The Ministry of Rites started preparing a month ago. The birthday banquet was nothing more than enjoying singing and dancing. Before that, the Ministry of Rites would draw a list for the emperor to read. However, for this year's birthday banquet, Zhao Mingchen gave it to Su Yunluo and ordered the Ministry of Rites to obey Su Yunluo's instructions.

Therefore, Su Yunluo has been busy with Zhao Mingchen's birthday banquet these days

Luanfeng Palace

Returning to the Empress, the birthday banquet was prepared in an orderly manner according to the plan. The singer was rehearsing in full swing. In addition, the performers invited from outside the palace had already entered the palace early after careful inspection... The Minister of Rites spoke respectfully

Su Yunluo nodded and praised, "The Minister of Rites has done a good job, and I feel relieved to leave the birthday banquet to you..."

Thank you for your appreciation... The Minister of Rites looked humble, and then he remembered something and wanted to speak but stopped.

When Su Yunluo saw this, he asked, "Do you have anything else to say? You might as well tell me...

Going back to the Empress... It's not really important, but yesterday the Imperial Concubine came to find the old minister, and seemed to want to perform on stage...

Zhao Mingchen has not arrived in Concubine Lan's palace for a while. The palace ladies secretly said that Concubine Lan is about to fall out of favor. She thought she could not sit still and was preparing to shine on the birthday banquet and regain Zhao Mingchen's heart.

Su Yunluo smiled slightly. Since she wanted to perform on the birthday party, don’t stop her. If she looks for you again, she will agree to her as long as it is not a particularly excessive request...

Yes... The Minister of Rites agreed and then stepped down

It's the birthday party soon

In the evening, the prince's children and court officials ordered their wives to enter the palace one after another, and went to the birthday banquet to hold Qingshui Pavilion.

Qingshui Pavilion is elegant and elegant, with seats neatly arranged on both sides, and a large venue is empty in the middle for performance purposes

Everyone sat down with their names and greeted the people beside them with a smile. For a moment, the Qingshui Pavilion was laughing and cheering. At this time, the palace servants at the door reported loudly, "The Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager are here!"

Everyone kneeled down and greeted him immediately

Zhao Mingchen helped the empress dowager sit on the upper head, then smiled at the court officials, and said, "The dear ministers are calm...

Thank you Your Majesty... Everyone sits down

According to the seat arrangement, the three most noble masters in the palace were seated in the three positions in the top. The queen and the queen mother sat on both sides, and the protagonist Zhao Mingchen, the birthday banquet, sat in the middle.

Going down, there are palace concubines and princes sitting on the left, the first position is Concubine Lan; on the right side are royal relatives, headed by Zhao Mingchen's uncle Lao Huai'an King

Later, the court officials sat from high to low according to their positions.

The princes and officials presented their birthday greetings to Zhao Mingchen. Zhao Mingchen accepted it and said with a smile, "You are all dear friends, I hope you can have fun with you for the birthday banquet tonight...

The palace maids served wine, fruits and exquisite dishes one by one. The wide venue in the middle danced with the sound of silk and bamboo. Everyone drank wine with delicious food and enjoyed singing and dancing. The atmosphere on the mat became very lively.

At the top, Zhao Mingchen gave Su Yunluo a bowl of wine-making dumplings. Luoer, this dumpling is soft and delicious, you can try it quickly...

Thank you Your Majesty... Su Yunluo spoke lightly

The next step of Concubine Lan looked at this loving scene and was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She only remembered her performance waiting for a while before she calmed down.

While everyone's eyes were focused on the singing and dancing in the middle, Concubine Lan quietly stepped down to change her clothes. Su Yunluo noticed her movements from the corner of her eyes, and had no reaction. She just focused on the singing and dancing.

A song and dance end, the dancer retreats

Suddenly, the venue fell into darkness, which made everyone scream. Then the palace lanterns lit up again, and shone in the middle of the performance venue, the red dancer surrounded a woman with a veil and graceful figure like stars arching the moon.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and she saw her lotus steps move gently, dancing gracefully, her soft waist folded out in an incredible curve, and the red gauze dress on her body danced like a soul. The beautiful dance posture made people stare at it.

The sound of silk and bamboo is getting faster and faster. The woman uses her left foot as the axis and her delicate body rotates quickly. Her watery eyes are filled with affection, and her skirt is flying, like a butterfly.

The people present looked fascinated, and even Zhao Mingchen's eyes also showed a stunning look.

Concubine Lan is good at singing and dancing, especially dance, and no one can surpass her. The colorful dress dance that year attracted countless people, so she has a different name called Wu Qingcheng

Unexpectedly, a few years have passed, and Concubine Lan’s dance posture has not only not regressed, but has become more diligent.

The sound of silk and bamboo is getting faster and faster. The dancer waves his jade hands and gently raises the red ribbon. The woman's jade feet leaps onto the ribbon. Then the sound of silk and bamboo stops and the dance ends.

Qingshui Pavilion restored its light again. At this time, the woman took off the veil on her face, and everyone realized that it was Concubine Lan!
