C66 (2/2)

Eunuch Lin stood on the stage and shouted out, only to see Mo Feiling and his men walking in.

”Crown Prince Mo Feiye of Xi Liang, Fifth Prince Mo Feiling, and state advisor of Xi Liang greet Your Majesty with humble gifts. May Your Majesty live a long life without borders, with a holy body that is well endowed with good fortune!”

”Crown Prince of Southern Frontier, Nangong Xuan, with a humble gift, wishes His Majesty the safety of his dragon body and wishes for a peaceful life!”

”Princess of Northern Frontier Kingdom, Bei Churou, with her gift, wish Your Majesty luck as deep as the East Sea and a life as long as Nanshan!”

The emperor, who was seated in a high position, was greatly overjoyed and rewarded his seat. Following that, all the high and mighty officials and officials of the various princes and princesses offered gifts. The sounds of blessings rang out incessantly, and all kinds of fireworks soared into the sky; the sight was breathtakingly beautiful. The birthday banquet was filled with an intense atmosphere and the fragrance of fine wine. However, the real birthday banquet had just begun.

In order to lower the feeling of his own existence, Bai Zhixi deliberately chose a remote corner to drink wine by himself, but discovered that a fiery gaze was fixated on his face the entire time. He originally wanted to ignore it, but it was difficult to sit still.

Suddenly raising her head, she saw the Xi Liang state advisor smiling at her, but his smile was not in her eyes, it was cold and unfathomable.

Bai Zhixi's eyes were filled with suspicions, it was as though he had never offended this kind of person! Why did everyone look at her with hatred the first time? In the past, she was just a silly girl, she would not step out of the door even if she did not enter. Could it be that her identity held unspeakable secrets?

If he wanted to solve these mysteries, he had no choice but to return to the Prime Minister's Estate. Didn't the Bai Zhiru mother and daughter just happen to want her to go back to the house?

So what if she went back to her room?

When she came back to her senses, she had already started singing and dancing. She didn't know that the He family's young miss was currently on stage playing a song, < < High Mountains and Running Water > >.

”Xi Er, how have you been learning from Prince Mo?”

Just as he was engrossed, Bai Zhiyuan's gentle voice came out. Bai Zhixi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the devastatingly beautiful face in front of her. As expected of her, the number one beauty, just her face alone was pleasing to the eyes.

”Heh, not like that. It's not like Big Sis doesn't know my temperament. I've been in a daze for more than ten years. If I want to be like Big Sis, I'm afraid it'll be impossible.”

A foolish smile flashed across Bai Zhixi's face, and her gentle voice carried a trace of coldness.

After Bai Zhiyuan heard this, her gentle and beautiful eyes flashed with a fierce light.

”But, Grandpa has already registered and put on a performance for you. Have you decided on what to perform?”

The corner of Bai Zhiyuan's mouth raised into a faintly discernable smile, and his eyes revealed a look of disdain. She wanted to see how she would lose face today. She had already avenged the humiliation she had suffered in the past.

”What?” Grandfather, you … How can you decide for me without my consent? ”

In the past, she might have wanted to use this birthday banquet to completely break away from the halo of over ten years of idiocy. But that day at the Prime Minister's Estate, when she saw the actions of Nangong Xuan and the others and heard what Jun Mohan said to her on the carriage, she completely gave up on those thoughts.

”What 'you'? Do you think you can avoid me just because I'm not doing this? Don't forget, you still have the halo of Prime Minister's Estate, there are many things that you can't control. ”

Old General Bai drank all the strong alcohol in one gulp. His eyes were dark as he looked at the man who ruled over the world from a high position.

If Xi Er had not been born on that day, she might have been able to escape this calamity.

When Bai Zhixi heard this, he recalled the apathy in that glance just now and his heart went cold. Grandfather was right. If she didn't recover her looks, she might have a chance. Right now, she couldn't make a choice. Perhaps, she might still be implicated in the struggle for the throne.

”Grandfather, don't worry. I won't lose face for Prime Minister's Estate.”

After a long while, Bai Zhixi finally spoke a single sentence and then stopped. She raised her head and looked at Dongfang Yao who was performing on the stage, seemingly deep in thought.

”Empress, why do I feel like Yao has grown up?”

In the upper class, when Dong Aoqing saw his beloved daughter being so talented and outstanding, he became overjoyed for a moment and blurted out the words of reward.

”This concubine thanks Your Majesty on behalf of Yao'er.”

Empress Situ Lan who was sitting at the side had kind eyes and a kind expression. Her beautiful eyes were already releasing boundless warmth, and her exquisite palace attire did not lose out to the elegance, nor did it lose out to her charm.

It was said that the Queen was one of the four great beauties in the world, and that she was extremely talented. It had already been so many years that he had been able to be forever pampered by the Imperial Palace and had a place in the Emperor's heart. In the palace, there was a place where new people could stand firmly even when they could not see old people crying. Other than their beauty, there were also other extraordinary methods.

”Your Majesty, it is currently snowing heavily, and although there are flames to keep you warm, the chilliness is bone-piercing. It is still unable to withstand the cold. The Queen Mother was already old, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the suffering. How about we let these young mistresses draw lots and perform together? This way, not only would the acting time be shortened, but it would also allow him to see who was the most outstanding. It was also good that Fen'er had chosen a prosperous and virtuous and virtuous princess, as well as the princes and concubines of the various prince s to take part in the examination one by one. These are all great matters and cannot be sloppy. ”

Situ Lan stood up and bowed respectfully to Dong Aoqing, then looked out the door at the heavy snow that was falling like sand, she gently spoke.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement. This was a good idea.

”Alright, we'll do as the empress says!”

Dong Aoqing caressed his flawless lower jaw as his pitch black eyes shone with an unfathomable light. Taking a glance at the crowd, perhaps because he didn't see the person who surprised him, he casually gave the order.
