Sheng Gong Dance

Seeing that it was almost time, the little eunuch also came in to report.All matters have been prepared.All is ready except for the opportunity.

Xilou waved his hand, and asked someone to take out the cake on the table.Only then did he raise his eyes and look at Yue Zhongtian with a smile, "Is the father planning to help the concubine mother celebrate her birthday with my son?"

Yue Zhongtian glanced lightly at Xilou's playful smile, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Since Lou'er has said so, how can I take advantage of Lou'er's kindness?"

Xilou was startled, her slender phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and she yelled strangely, "Aren't you not close to women?" Suddenly realizing that he lost his composure, Xilou restrained his expression, and persuaded, "Father, let's go back to rest earlier. .”

Yue Zhongtian looked at the inconsistencies in the performance of the West Building, it was really interesting, and he sighed as if he blamed himself, "Hey, it's all my fault for being negligent, and I have been neglecting Lou'er's mother and concubine. I will definitely make it up to her tonight." The last words were ambiguous.A warm and subtle fragrance brushed over Xilou's neck.

"You..." Xilou was speechless.It seems that I have harmed my mother and concubine.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.Seeing that Yue Zhongtian had no intention of leaving, Xilou stopped talking, turned around and walked out.

When he walked to the door, he paused, Xilou didn't turn around, and said calmly, "Father, I'm going down now to invite mother and concubine over. Father, please do what you want." After finishing speaking, Yue Zhongtian did not wait for an answer. The west building opened the door and went out.

Standing outside the house, Wei Min looked at the west building in surprise.How could it be the emperor who went in, but His Highness who came out?It wasn't good just now, could something have happened?

Thinking of this, Wei Min raised his eyes to look at the west building again, and happened to glance at the upper west building inadvertently.Wei Min hurriedly lowered his eyes.Xilou brushed past, and a soft sentence floated into Wei Min's ears. "Why does Eunuch Wei look at the west building like this? The west building is not a monster."

Wei Min cursed in his heart.If only you were a monster.You are more difficult to deal with than those.When he looked up again, the west building had gone far.Looking into the room, Yue Zhongtian was looking at the man's back with a special meaning.

When Xilou stepped into the front yard of the West Room of Wanming Palace, he happened to see Aunt Lan coming out.

Seeing the fourth highness coming in, Aunt Lan gave a loving smile and saluted to the west building, "Fourth highness."

Xilou nodded, and asked softly, "Aunt Lan, is the concubine mother in the room?"

As soon as the words came out, Xilou saw Aunt Lan's bitter and helpless expression.Aunt Lan looked back, her gaze seemed to cross the house and to the backyard, and when she looked back again, there was only a sigh, "Hey, it's getting cold. The servant girl asked the mother to go back to the house, but she refused, still standing under the gazebo in the backyard, This servant girl is going to serve a bowl of ginger soup now. Fourth Highness, go over and persuade me."

Xilou nodded.Aunt Lan saluted and left.

When I came to the backyard, I saw the woman alone in the snow.The world is vast, but she seems to be the only one left, standing silently under the gazebo.Seeing her misty eyes, one can know what is in her heart without thinking too much.

Xilou approached, sighing softly.As if a stream of air broke through the barrier, the quiet atmosphere was instantly broken.Concubine Wan's heart paused, and when she turned her eyes, she happened to meet Shangxilou's concerned expression, her heart warmed up, and she smiled at each other.

"Mother Concubine, I once said that I made up for Mother Concubine's birthday, I wonder if Mother Concubine remembers?" Xilou didn't ask much, and directly cut to the point.

Concubine Wan was moved by Xilou's thoughtfulness, and hearing him mention this matter added three points.I didn't expect that he would really care about himself so much.I was in this palace because I had helped him, but he showed his kindness again and again.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wan guessed in a flash, but was startled, when she raised her eyes to look at the west building, it was too late to hide the emotion in her eyes.Xilou smiled faintly, obviously seeing through Concubine Wan's thoughts.

"Xilou only has the filial piety of a son to a mother to his mother and concubine. I just want to make up for my debt to my mother." Probably thinking of something, Xilou's originally pure and bright eyes darkened slightly, but he immediately passed away.

When Concubine Wan wanted to take a closer look, her eyes had already returned to calm.Xilou's answer made Concubine Wan feel ashamed, and she couldn't help but blush slightly.Seeing that the atmosphere in the west building stopped for a moment, he quickly returned to the original words, "Mother Concubine, please go to the Liuli Palace with Erchen. Erchen has prepared everything for Mother Concubine there, hoping to give Mother Concubine a happy birthday .”

Concubine Wan has regained the gentleness of smiling at Xilou, and smiled lovingly. "It's like this, mother and concubine are satisfied." After saying that, he shook Xilou's hand and walked towards the Liuli Hall together with Xilou.

When I stepped into the front yard of the Liuli Temple, it was already dark.Xilou led Concubine Wan directly to the backyard.But he was not sure in his heart, whether Yue Chongtian was in the Liuli Palace or not, could it be that he really wanted to spend his birthday with his mother and concubine?

Thinking of this, Xilou smiled wryly in his heart.Blame myself for talking too much.But Yue Zhongtian already knew that Concubine Wan had someone else in her heart, would he still hug such a woman?

After thinking about it wildly, Xilou and Concubine Wan had already stepped into the gate of the backyard.Compared with the transparent lights in the front yard, the back yard can be said to be invisible.Concubine Wan looked at Xilou strangely, and was about to ask, but Xilou opened her mouth first.

"Concubine mother, please look ahead." Concubine Wan turned her head and looked forward.I saw the lanterns on both sides of the road ahead lit up one by one.Two rows of red lights hang high and lead directly to the pavilion on the riverside at the end.

On the road lit by red lights, there are blossoming red plums.Concubine Wan was surprised by the scene in front of her, and turned her head to look at the west building.Xilou smiled warmly, and stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation.

The silence speaks.Concubine Wan seemed to hear Xilou calling her concubine mother softly.Smiling moved, Concubine Wan stepped onto the snow covered with red plums.

When you come to the pavilion, go up to the west building and lead the way.This pavilion is located on the shore of the lake, which can be described as an overhead building.The first floor of the pavilion can be said to be a room.And if the roller blinds on all sides of the second floor are drawn up, it is no different from that gazebo.

Xilou walked in front, not so much to lead the way for Concubine Wan, but rather to see if Yue Chongtian was on the second floor.

Step up step by step, and when you reach the top few steps, you can already see the scene of the second floor.Looking from the side of the West Building, I happened to see Yue Zhongtian sitting on the round table in the middle of the second floor, smiling at the West Building, the teasing meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Xilou also laughed.The meaning of the two people's smiles is indeed somewhat similar.

When the west building stepped into the second floor, Concubine Wan also arrived, and she couldn't help being surprised to see Yue Zhongtian here, and then looked at the west building in a blink of an eye.Xilou has already bowed slightly to salute, "I have seen the father. Why is the father here?"

The implication is obviously that he does not know that Yue Zhongtian is here.After hearing what Xilou said, Concubine Wan no longer asked in surprise with her eyes, but turned around and saluted slightly, "The concubine has seen the emperor."

"Exemption." Yue Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, looked at Xilou's playful eyes, and opened his eyes to say nonsense, "I heard that the emperor is going to celebrate Concubine Wan's birthday, so I came to see it. I am busy with political affairs on weekdays. Concubine Wan is left out in the cold."

A little bit helpless, a little bit pity, and it was serious.Xilou really admired Yue Zhongtian.It was thanks to him that he could say these words.

Although Concubine Wan didn't know what they were thinking, she felt a little strange about the emperor's words today, and she didn't show it on the surface when she made up for it. She just said politely, "My concubine is afraid, and the emperor is worried about it. It should have been done to make up for the emperor's honor of ninety-five years." State affairs come first.”

If you continue talking like this, I'm afraid it will be boring.Yue Zhongtian didn't want to say any more unintentional words, so she changed the topic and said with a light smile, "Concubine Wan's birthday is today. The birthday is the big one. There is no need to be too polite, let's take my seat quickly."

Having said that, Concubine Wan still took her seat after thanking her.The West Building clapped their hands, and a group of servants came up in a file with dishes, and the cake was the last to be served.

Xilou personally lit the candles, looked at Concubine Wan with a smile, "Concubine Mother, please make a wish."

"Making a wish?" Concubine Wan looked at the cake with a candle in it in a daze, and looked at Yue Zhongtian on the opposite side in bewilderment.Yue Zhongtian was still smiling, with an expression of appreciation.

Xilou sat next to Concubine Wan, put her hands together, pressed them slightly to her lips, closed her eyes, and opened them after a few seconds with a look of deep thought.

"That's what making a wish is like. When you open your eyes, blow out the candle, and the wish will come true."

Seeing Xilou's rare innocent expression, Concubine Wan couldn't help but obeyed in conviction.

As soon as the candle was extinguished, Concubine Wan and Xilou looked at each other and smiled, and Xilou opened the lids on the dishes in front of them one after another.As soon as the lid was lifted, a series of pleasing delicacies appeared in front of the eyes of the three of them.

"Mother and concubine, try it." After finishing speaking, Xilou thought of something and looked at Yue Zhongtian opposite, "Father, please try it too."

That expression, that tone, were obviously showing off to himself, and Yue Zhongtian didn't want to disappoint him, so he took a bite with his chopsticks.Chewing slowly, it is actually endless aftertaste.

"Which royal chef made this dish, Huang'er?" Yue Zhongtian asked.Concubine Wan also looked at the west building in unison, obviously wanting to know.

Xilou smiled triumphantly, like a child who has received a reward. "Hehe, such excellent delicacies are naturally made by my ministers."

"The emperor can cook?" Concubine Wan blurted out these words completely subconsciously.As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Fang Jue regretted it, and did not dare to raise his eyes to see the reaction of Yue Zhongtian opposite.

Xilou didn't care much, and said naturally, "I am a delicious person. When I taste all the delicious food in the world, I also have to learn how to cook it myself. In this way, when I want to eat, I can do it myself, and I don't have to pretend to be someone else." hand."

After a slight pause, Xilou stood up slowly, walked to the piano stand by the west window and sat down, and stretched out his fingers to provoke it. "Father, mother and concubine have a good meal, and my son will play a piece of music for the two of you." The voice fell.

Today, the west building made Yue Zhongtian know a little better.Not only can he cook well, but he can also play the piano well.What a wonderful man.If I had him by my side, I'm afraid this life wouldn't be boring.

In the melodious sound of the piano, the atmosphere seems to be harmonious, but each has their own concerns.

At the final stroke of the strings, Xilou stretched out his fingers and flicked, and the four scrolls hanging on the opposite east window unfolded one by one.

The four paintings are themed on the four seasons.In the first painting, a mountain is used as the background, a few budding asters are nearby, and there is also a woman in a pansy dress.It's just that the woman turned around, leaving only the back view of the painter.There is a line of elegant thin golden body on the woman's side: spring, the beginning of all things.

In the second painting, the mountains are still the scenery, and the aster flowers are already blooming nearby.One-third of the woman's profile was drawn.The inscription on the side reads: Summer, the time when hundreds of flowers bloom.

In the third painting, one-half of the woman's profile is shown.There are still mountains behind, but Ziyuan has fallen.There is also a line of small characters on the same side: autumn, the life withers quickly.

This last one is naturally the front view of the woman.The mountains are still there, but the asters are not seen.Falling characters: winter, the joy of snow drifting thousands of miles away.

Looking at the four paintings in turn, the action of the person in the painting smiling back is vividly drawn.Four lines of verses, the end result is a happy birthday.And the congratulatory person is the person in this painting - Concubine Wan.

Although the paintings are not flawless, the poems are not neatly written.But this thought, this idea, is also moving and amazing.

Xilou stood up and smiled slightly at Concubine Wan, "I hope that Concubine Mother will be satisfied with her little care."

Concubine Wan was moved, tears welled up in her eyes, she choked up and said, "I am very satisfied with the emperor's heart."

Yue Zhongtian looked at the painting with special meaning, then glanced at the scene of mother's kindness and son's filial piety, without saying yes or no.
