    Fu Tanghuan was confused, "You came to my carriage to scold me?"

    Mu Yang smiled, "It's just a greeting, don't care."

    Fu Tanghuan couldn't figure it out. She and Mu Yang are also old acquaintances. Although they don't meet much on weekdays, they will greet each other every year when they collide with each other at the annual banquet.

    Mu Yang's mind has always been abnormal, and Fu Tanghuan knew it, so he didn't care, and asked, "Are you here alone? Didn't you come with Master Xiaohou?"

    "This year's banquet is special. He has already entered the palace." Mu Yang said, "You didn't come with your brother and sister?"

    "I went out early, so I didn't get along with them." Fu Tang said with a faint smile.

    The eldest brother and the second sister above her were all born by Prime Minister Fu's previous wife, and they were considered as direct descendants. Seeing that Fu Tanghuan seemed reluctant to mention them, Mu Yang didn't ask too much, but he drew up his sleeves and said, "It's cold today, let's not chat for a while, and the third lady will get into the carriage."

    Fu Tanghuan also nodded in response, "Then see you at the annual banquet."

    After the two said goodbye, they turned their heads back to their carriages. Fu Tanghuan was still confused after sitting down, muttering to herself, "What is this Mu Yang doing suddenly to stop my carriage? Is it really just to scold me?"

    Wen Yantong couldn't help but smile, and at the same time she shook the pot completely, "Young Master Mu always thinks that every one will come out, who knows what he wants to do?"

    Fu Tanghuan nodded, "Indeed. My sixth brother has always been prudent and restrained. It's really puzzling how to have a good relationship with Mu Yang, who is out of temper."

    Wen Yantong said, "Mu Shao is infatuated with archery, and Young Master Fu happens to be able to use archery. That's why I was entangled."

    "No, I have to ask my sixth brother Li Mu Yang Yuan to be a little bit more. It's not good if I learn from him the stinky screams everywhere." Fu Tanghuan said.

    Wen Yantong felt a pain in his heart, secretly saying Mu Yang and Mu Yang, this can't be blamed on me, you are too stupid.

    She was silent for a while, and she saw Fu Tanghuan suddenly take out an oval porcelain bottle from her sleeve. As soon as the lid was lifted, the sweet osmanthus scent spread out.

    "Come on," Fu Tanghuan took a small brush, "I'll put some color on your lips."

    Wen Yantong was startled, "Well, this is not necessary."

    "Your face is no different from the usual. If someone sees it, I'm afraid it will be recognized immediately. I will give you some color to look energetic and cover the old face."

    "Ah!" Wen Yantong was horrified, and touched his face, "Obviously? Or I shouldn't have a dinner last year, if someone recognizes it, it will be a disaster!"

    When she dressed up as a man, she painted thicker eyebrows on her face every day, which was more masculine. Although she didn’t wear makeup this time, she wiped her eyebrows off. After looking in the mirror for a long time, she felt that she should not be able to see it. The door came out after the clue.

    Who knew that Fu Tanghuan would be able to recognize it all at once, it was too terrible.

    Fu Tanghuan saw her anxiety, so he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with me."

    While she was talking, she used a small brush to leave a layer of carmine on Wen Yantong's lips, and smiled, "This is how it looks good."

    Wen Yantong didn't care about it. He just kept worrying about what he would find out, and had a strong idea of ​​going home.

    However, the carriage has passed inspection and followed the large team into the palace, and there is no way out.

    There were four inspections along the way, one more stringent one after another, and then there was a long palace road until it was getting dark before reaching the venue of the annual banquet.

    Wen Yantong followed Fu Tanghuan and got out of the carriage. The first thing that caught your eye was the large tracts of winter plums. The white color almost filled the eyes, and the biting cold wind sent bursts of plum blossoms.

    Passing through the plum blossom forest, there is a huge palace at the end, and the plaque above reads: Linlang Hall.

    Wen Yantong could tell at a glance that the words on the plaque were written by Chi Jingxi, and the sharp and wanton fonts were just like him, which is unforgettable.

    Inside the hall, there are four huge golden nanmu pillars lined up at the four corners. Above the head are colorful murals with glazed lanterns, and the reflected light illuminates the whole hall magnificently.

    Wen Yantong secretly marveled, for the royal family, there is no most extravagance, only more extravagance.

    A lot of people have gathered in the hall, all chatting in their own way, it looks very lively.

    There is a three-story stone stairway in the center of the main hall, and there is a golden silk dragon chair on the stage, which is the seat of the emperor. There is a door on the left and right ends, and there should be two rooms connected to the back.

    This is not the first time Fu Tanghuan has come here. He is very familiar with this place, and whispered to Wen Yantong, "The illusion will be performed in this hall later. Let's go to the small room on the right first."

    Wen Yantong didn't dare to look too blatantly, lowered his head and followed Fu Tanghuan.

    The next is a long and boring waiting time. Fu Tanghuan has long been accustomed to this process, so he can sit still, but Wen Yantong feels very tormented.

    My heel hurts after standing for a long time.

    This small room is not too small. It should be used to entertain the officials' family members. Inside are some ladies who are dressed in fine clothes, some are beautiful, some are old and faint. Sitting together is indispensable for comparison.

    Hearing Yantong was exhausted.

    I don't know how long this group of chirping women have been waiting, and suddenly the bell rings outside. Then the woman in the room got up at the same time and walked out of the hut slowly to the main hall.

    Wen Yantong followed Fu Tanghuan and glanced secretly when he left the house, and he saw many men standing opposite, including Mu Yang and others. She glanced quickly several times, but did not see Chi Jingxi.

    Then came a loud voice from the entrance of the hall, chanting, "The emperor is here!"

    Everyone knelt down and bowed their robes, "Welcome to the emperor, long live my emperor"

    The emperor was dressed in a red uniform with bright yellow embroidered patterns, with a smile on his face, and he was quite happy. A long line followed him, and Chi Jingxi was among them.

    Chi Jingxi was also dressed in red, with long hair tied up and wearing a white jade hairpin. There was no expression on his handsome face, but he was smiling slightly because of his ink stained smiling eyes.

    Next to him was Cheng Yanchuan, and behind him was a courtier, no concubines.

    The emperor got up on the dragon chair, and everyone slowly stood up. Wen Yantong kept his head down, and honestly didn't dare to make any trouble.

    The emperor said, "Today, all Aiqing rushed to the annual banquet, and no one was absent, which made me very happy."

    In this situation, the officials first took the call, so Prime Minister Fu said, "Your Majesty thinks about the ministers, and organizing the annual banquet is already the honor of the ministers, so how dare you not to go to the banquet."

    What he said was really hypocritical. There were naturally people who couldn't understand it, but there was only one person who didn't give Prime Minister Fu any face.

    Mu Yuan snorted and said, "Prime Minister Fu's remarks are a joke. Didn't you excuse yourself from illness at the annual banquet last year? It's just that Duke Ye is good for the dragon."

    The hall fell silent for a while, and the court officials knew that Prime Minister Fu had something happened recently, and no one dared to touch his brows easily.

    The emperor looked at Mu Yuan with some surprise, and suddenly laughed. When Mu Yuan first entered the dynasty, he was a conscientious man who didn’t know a single word, but he was a reckless man with great skill, and he lowered the education level of the entire Shaojing dynasty officials alone.

    Later, when the official position was promoted, the emperor pressed his head to read and read, and then he got rid of the title of illiteracy.

    But he seldom uses the idioms correctly, usually just look at the superficial meaning and then use it bluntly, causing a lot of jokes. But didn't expect it to be used well this time. If it weren't for the Manchu civil and military family members, the emperor even wanted to give Mu Yuan a reward immediately.

    Fu Sheng said calmly, "General Mu joked, and it was not me who was drunk and pulled Jiang Shangshu's second son to call his son last time. How could I not like this lively scene."

    He was talking about what happened after Mu Yuan was drunk last year. Near the end of the annual banquet, he was drunk in a daze, holding Jiang Musheng's neck and pulling straight up the carriage, Mu Yang chased after him.

    When Jiang Musheng was struggling to explain, he didn't listen, he just kept shouting, "Son! I'm your father! Go home with father!"

    The incident made the court officials laugh for a long time, and then for a long time, Jiang Musheng saw him about to take a detour. However, this matter gradually passed away, but he didn't want to be turned over by Fu Sheng again. For a while, laughter spread in the hall.

    Mu Yuan blushed and his neck was thick when he heard him reveal it, "I was drunk!"

    Fu Sheng still looked calm, "Oh... then it seems that General Mu will drink less this time."

    Mu Yuan had ten mouths, and he couldn't argue with Fu Sheng. If the emperor allowed him, he even wanted to use his fist to compete with Fu Sheng.

    An illiterate man has the hardest bones and fists all over his body.

    The emperor smiled and came out to round off, "According to my opinion, the prime minister said a few words, and the general has two less drinks, which is just right."

    Fu Sheng arched his hands in response.

    The emperor said again, "This annual banquet is different from the past, and all the princes know it, so you must have a good time, even if you drink a few more glasses, it doesn't hurt."

    Everyone should say yes.

    The emperor waved his hand lightly, and the palace man next to him immediately shouted, "Passing the alien illusionist——"

    The lights in the main hall seemed to have been extinguished several times at once, and the light dimmed, and the hall buzzed when thinking of quiet discussions.

    Wen Yantong saw that the light had dimmed a lot, and he dared to raise his head and look around.

    She saw Chi Jingxi Station opposite the first area, and next to him were Cheng Yanchuan and Cheng Xin and other princes. There was a long, floor-to-ceiling glass lamp standing beside him, and the soft light hit his side face, depicting a handsome and delicate outline.

    When the light is dimmed, it is not very clear. Wen Yantong faintly saw Chi Jingxi's eyes dark and heavy, looking at the gate of the palace with everyone.

    Almost all of the sons who stood opposite were handsome and outstanding. At this moment, the lights dimmed, and the girl who was looking at the person on the other side secretly caught a lot. Chi Jingxi didn't know how many young ladies secretly thought about it.

    I don't know if it was because of the hot sight, Chi Jingxi actually felt it, her beautiful black eyes suddenly turned, looking towards Wen Yantong. At the moment of electric light and flint, far away, the dim light, and the few people in between, the two actually met their eyes.

    This kind of heart palpitations came suddenly, rushing wildly in Wen Yantong's heart.

    After looking at each other for a moment, Wen Yantong immediately lowered his head and buried him behind the others.

    She subconsciously stroked her heart, only to feel that the heart was twisting hard just now, the whole body could feel the fast beating, and the blood was burning. On the contrary, she stood with her head down in a casual posture, faint as if she were part of the darkness, so inconspicuous that she did not attract anyone's attention.

    Wen Yantong's ears seemed to sound like her heart beating. She didn't know if it was because she was afraid that Chi Jingxi would see her or something else. In short, she couldn't calm down.

    But after a while, she realized that what she heard in her ears was actually drums. A dull and very rhythmic drum sound.

    Then a group of aliens stepped on the drum to slowly enter the arena, and appeared in the sight of everyone. Men and women are dressed in colorful groups, like peacocks. The difference is that the long hair of the man is tied up and turned into a few long braids, while the woman wears long hair and wears a variety of hair accessories.

    There are several wide silver bracelets strung on the man's arm, while the woman's ankle has a thin silver ring with bells on it, which sounds crisp with one step.

    The men and women of different races turned in circles, tapped and danced to the center of the hall, and then suddenly turned in circles with their hands in pairs, beautiful clothes like blooming flowers. Then these people turned faster and faster, everyone on their toes, as if they could turn around immediately.

    During this high-speed rotation, heard the sound of drums beating violently, and then these men and women in circles suddenly turned into thousands of plum petals exploded! Everyone was startled by the sight in front of them, and made a low call.

    The petals seem to be blown by the wind, spinning around in the hall, brushing everyone's clothes and hair, and smelling the plum blossoms at the tip of the nose when the inkstone reached out and pinched a petal in his hand.

    As soon as the palms were opened, the white plum blossoms turned into tiny snowflakes, which melted into the hands at once. She looked up in amazement, and saw that the plum blossoms were rolled up, and then they fell into snow.

    There is no snow in Chaoge these days when the New Year's Eve is approaching, and it seems that the feeling of the New Year has always been a little bit, but everyone did not expect to see the scene of falling snow in the hall today.

    The snow didn't fall densely, but when raised head, eyes were full of snowflakes. opened mouth slightly when heard the Yantong, and ate some into mouth. only felt that the tip of tongue was sweet and cool.

    She was happy for no reason, her eyes curled up and smiled, and her eyes fluttered in the snow. Before she had time to become autonomous, she fell on Chi Jingxi who was on the opposite side.

    I don't know if it was a coincidence. As soon as his gaze settled, he looked at Shang Chi Jingxi's distant eyes. Snow fell on his black hair, red clothes, and embroidered golden silk Ruyi patterns, but it didn't seem to fall into his eyes.

    At the moment when Wen Yantong was panicked, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed a lot, as if only a few were left. The light suddenly became extremely dark. Wen Yantong couldn't see Chi Jingxi's face at all. .

    This made her relax a lot in an instant, her eyes became wanton at the moment, staring at Chi Jingxi's fuzzy outline.

    Then the snow stopped and turned into hundreds of fireflies, glowing green light, scattered around the hall a few times, and flew to Chi Jingxi's side at the same time. The fireflies will circle Chi Jingxi's body, forming a beautiful scenery from top to bottom. Instantly became the most eye-catching person in the hall.

    He raised his hand slightly, and the speckled rays of light descended from his hairpin, to the sides of his hands, and entangled beside the brocade boots hidden under the robe.

    It seemed to be pulling him forward.

    Chi Jingxi noticed it, so he followed the spotted light and stepped forward, but when the footsteps fell, a flower slowly bloomed on the soles of his feet, and the lotus-colored petals and the snow-white petals were soft and delicate.

    This is Shaojing's national flower, lotus.

    With every step he takes, lotus flowers bloom on the soles of his feet. The exclamation in the hall kept coming one after another.

    Wen Yantong couldn't even move his eyes. He didn't know if he was attracted by this beautiful illusion, or he was addicted to Chi Jingxi, who was stepping on the lotus and surrounded by fireflies.

    When he walked to the center, the lotus under his feet suddenly broke apart and merged with the fireflies, and then heard a drum sound, the alien suddenly appeared again, stood in a circle around Chi Jingxi, and bent over to salute at the same time.

    "I wish Master Xiaohou auspicious birthday and all the best."

    Then the lights came on again, the light in the hall slowly recovered, and everyone shouted together, "I wish Master Xiaohou auspicious birthday."

    Chi Jingxi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your kindness."

    The emperor laughed out loud, clapped his hands and said with joy, "It's really wonderful. It's icing on the cake to have such a show at Xiaoxi's birthday banquet."

    Chi Jingxi smiled, and when she laughed, her smiling eyes looked even more beautiful, "Thank you for this, Your Majesty."

    "Today on your birthday, don't hesitate to mention anything you want." The emperor waved his hand and said generously.

    One person standing on the court seat also stood up and said, "Your Majesty must not be spoiled, Xiaoxi can be so honored enough."

    Wen Yantong discovered that Chi Jingxi's father, An Huaihou had also come to attend the annual banquet.

    The emperor didn't follow it, and looked at An Huaihou with disgust, "You don't come out and persuade me, I'm happy to reward Xiaoxi's stuff...Well, let's get the title first."

    He raised his hand, the palace man placed a tray on the floor, and the red and black jade brocade cloth was placed on the tray. The palace man held it up and said,

    "Anhuaihou's third son Chi Jingxi, five years old, Ruixing five years old, so far is eighteen, talented eight fights, literary and martial arts, today's title: single ceremony, hope to live up to the trust of the people in the future , Is the pillar of handed down."

    Chi Jingxi knelt down and bowed his robe, "Thank my emperor, a single ceremony will live up to the advice of everyone."

    Everyone also said at the same time, "Congratulations to Master Xiaohou."

    Wen Yantong only realized that it is no wonder they said that this annual banquet was unusual, it turned out to be Chi Jingxi's crown banquet!

    She swallowed, and suddenly became nervous, her forehead was so low that she didn't dare to raise her head anymore.

    "Get up." The emperor said, somewhat dissatisfied, "Thank me for what I did. Your father had to take this crown by himself. I took it and he didn't let it use it."

    An Huaihou smiled and said, "It was set early in the morning. Your Majesty snatched the name away, and at any rate left the word to the minister."

    After Chi Jingxi stood up, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless ancient well, quietly casting his gaze in the direction of Wen Yantong, but he did not see anyone.

    Then An Huaihou led the people to Chi Jingxi and took off the hosta from his head. Replaced with a jade crown red like cinnabar, the color is very dull, the center is embedded with clear-cut glazed stone, and the periphery is engraved with golden auspicious clouds.

    The emperor smiled and asked, "Why did you take the word as a single gift?"

    "Single is good, but also good. The minister hopes that the dog can understand more etiquette, no matter how far he goes, he has his own rules and kindness in his heart."

    Chi Jingxi smiled slightly, "Follow his father's teachings."

    After the end of the crown, the emperor announced the opening of the banquet, and the people in the hall returned to the small room one by one.

    Chi Jingxi walked two steps into the room, and then looked back, and saw the women of Yingyingyanyan entering the room, and many people looked at him blatantly. His eyes circled around the women twice, but he couldn't find them.

    His eyesight was dim just now, and the man was hiding quickly again. He didn't see clearly.

    It seems that only remember the person who resembled the smell of inkstone, with a touch of carmine on his lips.

    After Wen Yantong slipped into the room with her neck between her necks, the hot delicacies were put on the table one by one, and the room became lively. But the excitement does not belong to the subordinates. When the noble ladies eat, they can only stand obediently in the back, serving tea and pouring water from time to time.

    Fu Tanghuan didn't call her, quietly took the sweet and salty soft pastry and wrapped it into the handkerchief, then handed it to Wen Yantong underneath, and pointed to the side of the door.

    Wen Yantong understood, hid the cake in the sleeve, and then secretly came out through the small door. The guard at the door asked her what to do, and she said she wanted to go to the hut. The guard showed her the way, and she walked along the road until she went to a place where there was no one, and then took out the things in her sleeves to eat.

    Although I didn't eat any delicious food, this trip really didn't come in vain, just now that illusion is like fairy magic, if it hadn't been sneaking into the palace, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to see it in this life.

    Wen Yantong was eating, and there was confusion in her mind. After thinking about it, she was suddenly knocked from behind, and the cake in her hand almost knocked over. Fortunately, she held it firmly.

    Turning around, the maid who hit her walked fast, as if she didn't even care that she hit someone. After Wen Yantong cursed secretly, he lowered his eyes and saw something wrapped in a piece of silk cloth on the ground.

    She picked it up and unfolded it, and found inside was a palm-sized red jade plate, with a knot of small jade beads on the top, tassels on the bottom, and the word "Shaojing" outlined by gold wires on the back.

    Wen Yantong flipped the jade plaque with the words "Chi Jingxi" engraved on it.

    She suddenly felt her hand hot, and immediately threw the jade medal on the ground, taking a deep breath in fright.

    She turned her head and was about to leave, but after walking a few steps, she turned her head and ran back immediately, put the jade card and the silk cloth into her arms, and then stroked her clothes, pretending to be a okay person, and went back.

    Today, if this jade card is anyone other than Chi Jingxi, she will treat it as if she has never seen it.

    I was worried at first, but after a while, the annual banquet was over. Then she took Chi Jingxi's jade card and followed Fu Tanghuan out of the palace smoothly.

    After returning home, had a hasty meal and took a hot bath before lying on the bed with a blanket. It was Moli and Heying who followed to keep the New Year.

    She was lying on the bed, holding Chi Jingxi's Fang Yupai in her hand, waiting for the first time when Chaoge's clock struck.

    From the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the time when Chaoge children have fun. Temple fairs, lanterns, fireworks, and various lively activities are held on the streets of Chaoge.

    Mu Yang had come to the door of Wen Yantong's house a long time ago and patted the door to tell her to go out to play, but Wen Yantong was so guilty that he dared to go out again, so he pretended to be ill.

    One push is seven or eight days. Mu Yang stood at the door and asked the reporter very sadly, "Tell me honestly, is Wen Yantong dying of illness?"

    Wen Yantong was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard the words from the next person in the room. This Mu Yang Da cursed her to death from the first time he saw her.

    Hearing Yantong's avoidance, Mu Yang couldn't help it, so he sent batches of medicinal materials to her house, hoping that she would get better soon.

    It's just that this kind of crappy reason can only deceive Muyang.

    On this day, Wen Yantong took a nap and was notified of a visitor. She hadn't recognized the faces of all her servants, and naturally she didn't realize that the person who had come to inform was not from the house.

    Going to the main hall in a daze, the door was opened for her. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chi Jingxi in a white robe with a crescent moon sitting in the hall. He held a cup of hot tea in his hand, his eyes lowered, and the steam in the cup rose up, half covering his handsome face.

    Wen Yantong's legs were so frightened that he wanted to sit on the ground immediately.

    Just listened to his casual tone, "Is it useful to hide?"

    The author has something to say: Chi Shan (shan) ceremony
