The queen's birthday is celebrated everywhere. Emperor Liu announced to all his ministers that a banquet will be held at the Hall of Eternal Life on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate the queen's birthday.

Although Jian Shou was able to take the seat, he did not sit with Jian Xiang, but sat with the descendants of the senior officials. Although the seat was a little further back, it was still on the left.

Jian Shou stretched his neck to watch the birthday performance, and it was a bit hard to kneel and sit. There were too many people here, and he couldn't squat directly on the ground, so he had to kneel on the cushion and half prop up his upper body.

Jian Shou is looking forward to this opportunity to enter the palace. It is his honor to appreciate the pure ancient court art.

The ground is covered with a thick carpet inlaid with gold silk, the beams are covered with exquisitely painted palace lanterns, and eight copper pillars with silver phoenix tattoos are erected on the stage. Early in the morning, I lighted the arm-thick candles, which were mixed with spices, and the fragrance was overflowing when they burned.

The music officials sat around the back of the stage, ringing the bell, and the ancient music was ethereal and intoxicating, long and distant.

The dancers are dressed in long-sleeved colorful dresses, with elegant ribbons tied around their waists that fluctuate constantly. They gently hold lotus jade cups in their palms. The calyx is white and translucent like bone china.

The music gradually slowed down, and the dancers gathered together to form a budding lotus flower in the center of the stage. The guqin rustled and the bells ding-dong, and the "lotus flower" slowly bloomed amidst the melodious music. The stunning dancer is slim and tall, with long sleeves half covered, with a light posture, ethereal and illusory, and her beauty is like a flower separated from the clouds.

Concubine Jian's makeup was exquisite and gorgeous. Seeing Liu Di's eyes locked on the dancing girl in blue, not only did she not show any dissatisfaction, but instead she evoked an intoxicating smile.

Sitting beside Emperor Liu, the Empress had a panoramic view of the expressions of Emperor Liu and Concubine Jian, her eyes turned cold and still looked dignified: "Is this dancer the wonderful person next to Concubine Jian?"

Concubine Jian replied with a smile: "Yes sister, Wan'er originally wanted to perform for her sister's birthday by herself, but she has recently contracted a cold, so she arranged for the best dancers in the palace to perform for her sister and His Majesty." Dance."

Concubine Jian's words sound nice, but the queen thought about it carefully and it turned out not to be the case: "It's rare that my younger sister has a heart, and this wonderful person should be rewarded."

Concubine Jian: "Why don't you leave this reward to Your Majesty?" Turning her head slightly, "Your Majesty, there is a lack of a dancer in this palace right now, why not leave her to serve Your Majesty."

Everyone understands the meaning of "stay", thanks to Concubine Jian's words so straightforwardly, the Empress glanced coldly at Concubine Jian and did not say anything to refute.

Liu Di looked at the graceful figure of the woman in blue and nodded: "What's your name?"

The blue-clothed woman gently knelt: "My servant's humble name is Yundie."

Liu Di: "Yundie? Butterfly dancing on the jade lotus cloud, I will give you the beauty of the cloud."

Yundie seemed to be pleasantly surprised and honored, her weak shoulders trembled slightly, and she knelt down devoutly on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Emperor Liu accepted the dancers from Concubine Jian's palace in public, and gave Concubine Jian many rewards. The ministers who were closer to Jane even toasted Jian Wenzhang, as if he had another daughter who was favored, but Jian Wenzhang refused. do not drink.

Qin Shou sat in a remote corner, his eyes fell on Jian Shou after withdrawing from the center of the stage.

Jian Shou didn't pay attention to the movements on the stage at all. Since the end of the dance music, he had been absorbed in eating. He didn't gobble it up, and even behaved elegantly, but his movements were not slow, and soon he tasted all the delicacies on the table.

123: [Host, the attack target is looking at you! 】

Jian Shou: [Huh? ] Pretending to casually look around, 【You mean Liu Yan? 】

Liu Yan, who has been paying attention to Jian Shou, saw that Jian Shou finally took a look at him, and immediately smiled at him, but Jian Shou turned his head back without any reaction.

123: [No!It's Qin Shou! 】

Jian Shou: [Who do you call a beast! 】It is very rude for the system to scold people when they disagree with each other.

123 seemed to let out a breath of foul air: [Alas... the host is Qin Shihuang's Qin, the hunter who hunts, Qin Shou is your target. 】

Jian Shou: [Tsk tsk, why did his parents give him such a name?What a loss! 】

123: [He is a proton sent by Qin, so he is probably not very popular. 】

Jian Shou: [Oh, that's right. 】

123: [...Host, since you already know that the target of the attack is looking at you, can you eat less and pay attention to your image. 】

Jian Shou has a serious face: [San San, the character design in each world is different, you can't just ooc just because this character design might not please the target of the raid, and besides, I don't want to vomit at night. 】

123: [⊙_⊙! 】Shouldn't the host's character design this time be stupid?How could you still fool the system...

Jian Shou: [San San, tell me where is Qin Shou sitting?His gaze was too dark, I couldn't feel it at all. 】

Qin Shou sat opposite Jian Shou, far away, and in a remote location. There were only one or two small dishes on the table in front of him, and there was no one around to serve him at any time, which showed how little he was valued.

But this is not all because of Emperor Liu of Dongsheng. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Guo hadn't asked Qin Shou since he sent him to Dongsheng, Emperor Liu wouldn't have ignored Qin Shou so much and made him bully. .

Jian Shou saw that Qin Shou was wearing the simplest cotton gown, his hair was tied up with strips of cloth, and he was sitting there alone, his movements were cautious and his behavior was humble. He had to suppress the coughing, so his pale face flushed, but it might also be because of the shame of others' ridicule.

Jian Shou looked at him very seriously, Qin Shou seemed to realize that someone was looking at him at this moment, the fox eyes filled with mist from coughing calmly looked at Jian Shou, and suddenly smiled, showing ordinary and friendly.

Jian Shou didn't respond, but just retracted his eyes and lowered his eyes. What does it mean that he smiled at him?

I'm sorry~

After the dinner, Imperial Concubine Jian left Jian Shou and his son behind, and Jian Shou and the others were respectfully taken to the small pavilion in the garden by the palace staff.

When Jian Wenzhang saw Concubine Jian who was welcoming him at the bottom of the stairs, he was about to kneel down and salute with Jian Shou. Concubine Jian hurried forward to support him: "Father, there is no need for my daughter!"

Jian Wenzhang pushed Jian Wan's hand away: "Etiquette cannot be broken." Described alienation.

Jian Wan immediately showed a lonely expression: "Father, are you blaming me?"

Jian Wenzhang said "dare not" and stopped talking.

Jian Wan sighed, and had no choice but to put on airs and invite Jian Wenzhang into the gazebo to sit down.

Jian Wan called Jian Shou to her, "Come here, A Shou, let the elder sister see how you look?"

Jian Shou didn't know how to be polite at all, he leaned in front of Concubine Jian and said, "Elder Sister, I'm doing great!"

"Pfft!" Jian Wan laughed and nodded Jian Shou's forehead, "Yeah! You're so good, you look fat and white! You must be greedy."

Concubine Jian laughed like a flower, almost dazzled Jian Shou's eyes, Jian Shou said bluntly: "Sister, you look so pretty when you smile, no wonder Your Majesty likes you!"

Jian Wan smiled even more happily, what she likes most is her little brother's pleasing face and pleasing mouth.

But Jian Wenzhang glared and scolded: "Presumptuous! There are no rules, go back and punish me for copying..."

"Father, Ah Shou is still young, and children are by nature, so there is no need to punish too much." Jian Wan excused Jian Shou in time, "Ah Shou, sister wants to talk to father, go and play by yourself." By the way, she also dismissed Jian Shou Shou.

Jian Shou was also happy to play alone, and left the gazebo briskly, and the maids also consciously retreated outside the gazebo, leaving space for Concubine Jian and Prime Minister Jian to get along alone.

Concubine Jian personally poured a cup of tea for Jian Xiang: "Father is dissatisfied with my daughter sending the people around me to the emperor?"

Jian Wenzhang took the tea and took a sip: "Today is the queen's birthday, you are going against the queen on the spot!"

Jian Wan raised her eyebrows: "So what if I'm just against her? Doesn't she usually play tricks on us? I'm not a person who only suffers from boredom!"

Jian Wenzhang: "Don't always think about things in the harem so simply, you have to think about the queen's back and your back, and don't always go your own way and hit the stone with an egg"

Although Jian Wenzhang said this mercilessly, he wanted to persuade his daughter.

"Father, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others. It's not that if I don't do anything, being a queen will make me feel better. I don't beg my father and family to stand on the same front with me. I only hope that my father will not hinder me."

Jian Wenzhang sighed, he couldn't agree with all Jian Wan's words, but he was still worried, and began to tell her what she must be careful about.

For example: "The people you controlled in the past may be out of your control in the future, and the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind..."

Jian Shou walked around alone, followed by an eunuch at a distance, so he was not afraid of getting lost in the huge palace.

Passing a remote corner, I heard a noisy voice, and wanted to leave, but 123 kept urging him to go and have a look, probably because of some plot.

Qin Shou was surrounded by a group of official children, Jian Shou tilted his head, so no matter in modern or ancient times, as long as he is a bear child, he has the bad habit of bullying the "weak"?

Qin Shou lowered his head to hide his expression, but kept his back straight. He politely asked: "It's getting late, I really can't play with you young masters anymore, please make way."

"Why are we blocking your way here! What qualifications do you have to ask me to make way for you!" The young man in Tsing Yi took two steps forward and looked down at Qin Shou, who was thin and thin.

The young man under siege was silent, he seemed to know that they would not let him go so easily, and he had no other way, so it was useless to talk, so he just endured it silently.

Someone directly laughed at his cowardice, scolded him, and insulted him. Qin Shou hadn't felt this kind of wanton bullying by others for a long time, if it wasn't because of...

Some people began to become more courageous. It was just an unnoticed hostage from another country. Even if they were beaten, they would have nowhere to redress their grievances. They began to push hard, and Qin Shou staggered back. After that, it seemed that there was an unavoidable meal He was beaten severely, but he still didn't say anything to beg for mercy.

He was so lonely and helpless at the moment, but he was not afraid or begged for mercy on his knees, and he didn't know whether he was accustomed to it or was born with pride.

But no matter what it is, it makes Jian Shou feel very sad. He is not very old. I heard that the second prince of Qin State was sent to Dongsheng as a proton when he was eight years old. It has been eight years now, so lonely eight years.

In order to avoid the punch of one person, Qin Shou fell to the ground. At this moment, Jian Shou got in through the gap like a loach, and opened his arms to block Qin Shou.

Only then did Qin Shou let go of his clenched fist, thinking that it would appear earlier.

"What are you doing! Bullying people!" Jian Shou pushed the young man in Tsing Yi hard. This was the man who wanted to hit Qin Shou just now.

The eunuch stood beside him, at a loss, fearing that his master's relatives would be injured, and also afraid of offending these young masters who were still prominent.

"Who are you! Are you looking for a beating?" The young man in Tsing Yi felt that he had been slapped in the face, and raised his fist as if to hit Jian Shou in the face.

Jian Shou would not admit defeat, instead he puffed up his chest and moved his face closer: "Come and hit me if you have the ability!"

Although he knew that a child who could be in this palace must have a high status, but the young man in Tsing Yi couldn't be provoked, so he punched him with one punch. Jian Shou didn't even have the skills of a three-legged cat, so how could he hide it!

The eunuch screamed in horror, Jian Shou felt his eyes go dark, and was hugged tightly into an embrace. This embrace was not generous and warm, but thin and cold, but it blocked the danger for Jian Shou.

Now that one person made a move, no one was merciful, and they went forward to beat them together, but the eunuch stepped forward to stop him, shouting "Don't do it, don't do it!", but they were beaten instead!

Qin Shou guarded Jian in his arms. Jian Shou could only hear the sound of fists and kicks and Qin Shou's muffled hum. Jian Shou wanted to struggle, but was hugged tighter and tighter.

Qin Shou whispered in Jian Shou's ear, "Thank you."

Thank you because you showed up as I expected.

Jian Shou's eyes widened, he was suddenly curious, why would a person who didn't even want to protect himself do his best to protect others.
