The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

The next morning, the two got dressed and went outside the room. When Xia Younan went to get the gift box, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the box.

She remembered that she tied a bow when she packed yesterday? How did it become a simple slipknot?

"Madam, let's go quickly. Didn't you say we were going to be late?" Lu Xiuyuan urged.

Xia Younan looked at him, thinking that maybe this kid opened it out of curiosity, and in a hurry he didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the gift and ran out of Jingyue Garden with him.

The birthday banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, which was carefully decorated. There were red wool carpets all over the ground, red silk tied all over the eaves and branches, and even the flowers were blooming especially brilliantly today.

Before the banquet started, the wide and flat venue was already filled with all kinds of people, including civil and military officials, royal nobles, envoys from various countries...

Everyone was dressed in bright clothes and chatting and laughing, with exquisite tableware placed on the table in front of them.

The luminous glass cups, the emerald white jade plates, and even the chopsticks are made of the finest agate, which is truly luxurious.

In the middle of the venue is a large stage covered with a red carpet, probably used for performances.

There were three golden chairs placed in front of the stage, the dragon chair in the middle and the phoenix chairs on both sides. Needless to say, they were the thrones of Lu Shian, Ye Yuqing and Ye Feiyan.

There are two long tables on both sides of the stage. These are closest to the throne and must be for people whose status is second only to the emperor.

Thinking of this, Xia Younan pulled Lu Xiuyuan to sit at the long table on both sides, placed the gifts in his hands on the table, and waited quietly for the arrival of the three masters.

I don't know how long it took, but with a loud shout from the eunuch, Ye Feiyan, dressed in gorgeous clothes, slowly walked over with the support of Lu Shian and Ye Yuqing, accompanied by the old thief Ye Baijiang.

Lu Shian wore a purple gold crown, a dragon robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and auspicious cloud boots.

The domineering outfit coupled with the extraordinary face makes him look even more extraordinary, wise and powerful. It makes people sigh that he is the emperor of the day, and his innate noble temperament cannot be imitated by others.

Ye Feiyan and Ye Yuqing were elegant and graceful, adorned with pearls and emeralds, wearing the finest silk brocade, priceless jewellery, and exquisite make-up, displaying every bit of the nobility that royal family members should have.

Ye Baijiang behind him was wearing a dark blue court robe and black boots. The robe was embroidered with flying cranes, highlighting his noble status as a first-rank civil servant.

When his younger sister celebrated her birthday, he was beaming with joy. Looking at the people in the audience who were so respectful to him, his vanity was greatly satisfied.

Their arrival instantly quieted everyone down, and when they all landed on the throne, everyone stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor. Long live the empress dowager and the imperial concubine!"

"Everyone, please stand up." Lu Shi'an responded, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Xia Younan, as if he was glued to him and couldn't move his eyes away.

Even with her head down, Xia Younan could feel that gaze as if it was burning her. She rolled her eyes helplessly, raised her hands and hugged her husband tightly, deliberately acting coquettishly.

"Husband, this stool is so hard, I'm not comfortable sitting on it, I want to sit on your lap, please hug me."

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing. Of course, he also noticed someone's unscrupulous gaze, and he also understood the little thoughts of the woman next to him.

He obediently picked up Xia Younan from the seat next to him, placed him on his lap, and held him in his arms.

Sure enough, seeing this scene, Lu Shian suddenly clenched his fists, frowned, and his face became frighteningly gloomy.

The eunuch in charge asked Lu Shi'an and Ye Feiyan for permission. After getting their approval, he waved the whisk in his hand, stepped forward and greeted everyone with a bunch of useful and useless nonsense, which marked the beginning of the birthday banquet.

Afterwards, ceremonial music sounded, and a group of beautiful women with graceful figures floated onto the stage. With a wave of their sleeves, a dance began.

Xia Younan had no interest in the singing and dancing on the stage, and felt that it was not as interesting as his senior brothers' stick dancing and martial arts practice.

Bored, she looked around with her beautiful eyes to kill time.

When her wandering eyes were cast towards the dragon's seat, her little face was suddenly pinched by someone, and then turned back towards someone's chest.

Looking up, I saw a certain man frowning and pouting, with a face full of resentment, "Bad girl, why are you looking at others? Isn't Yuan'er pretty?"

"..." Xia Younan was speechless. This damn kid, when did he learn to be jealous? How could he look at others?

"My wife is mine. I don't allow her to look at others. She can only look at me. Look at me, look at me carefully. I am prettier than him, don't you think?"

Lu Xiuyuan lifted her chin and asked her to look at him.

Xia Younan looked at him as he was told and swallowed his saliva in a cowardly manner.

Ahem, as expected, my husband is still the most handsome.

As the occasion was formal, he specially asked him to wear a purple and gold dragon robe before going out.

The purple and gold color is noble, the giant python embroidery is domineering, and this brat is tall and strong with a great figure. This outfit makes him look heroic and majestic, like a god.

His skin was as white as jade, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were bright, his nose was high, and his lips were red. His handsome facial features seemed to be copied from a painting.

She could say without any pride that her Yuan'er was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her eighteen years of life. Compared to Lu Shi'an, he was even more handsome.

Xia Younan almost drooled at the sight, unable to bear it any longer, she raised her head and kissed him on the face, her face full of infatuation, "So beautiful, so beautiful, my dear, how did you grow up like this? Tell me, did you give a gift to Nuwa?"

Lu Xiuyuan was very pleased with her compliment, and glanced at someone on the dragon throne. As expected, the man's face couldn't be described as "ugly", it was simply a dark cloud over his head!

Wow, that’s so cool!

Lu Shian, this day will come for you too.

Xia Younan also noticed that as the two of them became more intimate, Lu Shian's gaze, which never left her, became increasingly hot and angry.

Sighing dejectedly, she said in her heart: Oh, Your Majesty, I'm sorry. In order to make you give up on me sooner, I have no choice but to hurt you cruelly.

Lu Shian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, closed his eyes in pain and looked away, so as not to look at the scene that broke his heart.

Ye Shiqing, oh Ye Shiqing, you have such a cruel heart. What kind of hardship could make you bear to tear my heart into pieces bit by bit?

The three people had different thoughts in their minds. Before they knew it, the sun had risen to the zenith and the birthday celebration program slowly came to an end.

At this time, a man in dark blue official uniform walked onto the stage, holding an exquisite gift box in his hands. He said a lot of auspicious words to Ye Feiyan, then bent down and presented the gift.

Ye Feiyan's personal eunuch walked over, took the box, and placed it on the high platform next to the dragon throne.

Soon, another official came up with a gift, and other officials followed suit, lining up to greet the empress dowager and give her gifts.
