after i found out my new wife was a man

Soon, it was the day of the Empress Dowager's Birthday Ceremony.

Jiutianchang opens the palace, and all nations pay homage to Mianqi.

The sky was just getting dark, and the eaves and beams of the Chaoyang Hall were erected, reflecting the moonlight. The two dragons with golden scales and armor seemed to be flying away from the sky.

Emperor Jingren was dressed in a black gown, on which the sea dragon pattern embroidered with gold silk could be seen, and he was sitting on the dragon chair.Next to him is of course the Empress Dowager Xie. Today she is wearing an ochre-colored robe with a square collar and double-breasted, wide open sleeves, fastened with five children's birthday gold buttons, and cloud patterns and longevity mountains and blessings embroidered on the hem on both sides. Elegant and luxurious, with a smile.

Going down the stone steps, there are the crown prince, the princes and princesses, the concubines, the marquis and princes, and the ministers.

"Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the whole world will be amnesty, and the whole world will celebrate together. You don't have to be cautious, please sit down." Emperor Jing Ren's voice was majestic and solemn, showing joy, "I first offer a cup to all my loves."

Everyone thanked them and took their seats, raised the cups in their hands above their heads, raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.

Emperor Jing Ren nodded slightly, and after some words of encouragement and comfort, he ordered the eunuch to come forward and announce the beginning of the birthday ceremony.

Bells and bells are ringing, sleeves are fluttering, music is melodious, singing and dancing are peaceful, sandalwood is lit, and thin mist slowly rises into the sky, looking like a fairyland.

Xie Linghe took He Yaoqing's wine cup and poured him a cup of tea.

He Yaoqing slightly paused the hand holding the chopsticks, then turned to look.

Xie Ling's attire today is very different from that of the past. He is wearing a cobalt blue long gown with a coquettish charm and an auspicious cloud belt around his waist. Of course, he cannot wear a sword when entering the palace, so he only wears a clear black jade.He didn't look like a young general, but rather a handsome young man in a Confucian shirt.

He Yaoqing's eyes were a little dark, and he didn't stop his movements, but leaned into his ear and whispered softly, "Don't underestimate me."

The lips were very close, as if they were about to touch Xie Lingyu's earlobe, and the warm air flowed past his ear, making his left hand hidden in the wide sleeve curl up a little.

But it would be indecent to reach out and touch it in such a scene, so I could only endure it, but my earlobes gradually turned red.

Seeing him like this, He Yaoqing was a little satisfied, and the depression and violence that had been lingering since entering the palace also dissipated a bit, and he reluctantly "let go" of him, but when he turned around, he saw Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie looking at him. Laughing at the two of them.

Seeing them turning their heads back, Lord Xie Hou waved his hands and said with a smile: "This kid will finally feel sorry for others. Shake it out that you are weak. Be careful if you drink too much at night and feel uncomfortable. Just drink lightly."

Just as he was talking, another male voice with a kind smile came from beside him: "Sure enough, it's different after getting married, not like my kid." While talking, he patted the shoulder of the person beside him.

I saw a middle-aged man in a crimson purple shirt, looking about the same age as Lord Xie, with the movement of drinking, the pattern of cranes and clouds on the hem of his clothes loomed, and the person beside him was Si Yuming.

This person is the current Prime Minister, Si Yuming's father - Prime Minister Si.

Hearing this, Master Xie smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Si, what are you talking about, so that Yue Ming can get married soon, wouldn't it be good?"

Prime Minister Si picked up the wine cup and sighed: "I think so, my kid looks the most serious and obedient, but in fact he is more stubborn than anyone else."

And Si Yuming just quietly listened to the elders talking, respectful and serious, and did not make a sound. His back was still straight, as if he had never been bent, warm as jade, and his temperament was cold, as if he had been separated from him. People are thousands of miles away, but there is a slight smile in the eyes looking at the friend at this time.

At this moment, Emperor Jing Ren, who was sitting high on the throne, was talking with the Empress Dowager next to him. He squinted his eyes slightly to see this scene, watched it from the corner of his eye for a while, and then turned his head to signal the close eunuch to put his ear to him.

So, when Xie Ling continued talking with a group of people, laughing and laughing, he saw the eunuch walking down the stairs, followed by two or three court ladies, walking straight towards them.

The emperor's personal eunuch—that is, Eunuch Yuan, he was a bit hunched, with black hair intertwined with silver threads on his head, but he was in good spirits, and he led the people behind him to salute first.

"The Holy Majesty asked the servants to greet the adults on his behalf." His voice was hoarse and high-pitched, which was rather weird, "Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Eldest Princess have not seen each other for many days. If you want to call the Eldest Princess to talk, if the Prince Consort wants to, of course you can go together."

He Yaoqing knew that since he entered the palace today, he would definitely not be able to escape this "tribulation", his face remained the same, the hands under the desk clenched into fists, almost choked into his flesh.

Xie Linghe's heart sank, and of course he couldn't show any clues on his face. He was afraid that He Yaoqing would hurt himself again, so he gently wrapped his clenched fists comfortingly, and led him to stand up: "Your Majesty, if If you want to be summoned, the minister will only be overjoyed, and there is no reason not to go."

The Xie and Si families thanked each other, and they followed Eunuch Yuan to the upper position.

The ones sitting on it, apart from the emperor and queen mother in the middle, are the crown prince, the princes and princesses, and the concubines.

Empress Dowager Xie couldn't help seeing the two of them coming over, and after Emperor Jingren let them be flat, she laughed and scolded: "You two, if the emperor doesn't call you, don't you plan to come and see Aijia today? Yet?"

These words seemed to be a complaint, but they were more of a smile.

Hearing this, He Yaoqing saluted again, and the long skirt dragged across the floor: "How could it be, we were still discussing to come to see you just now."

Empress Dowager Xie gave up, smiled and nodded, and was about to speak again, when a charming and weak voice suddenly broke in.

"I haven't seen Bengong and Yaoqing for many days. When we saw each other today, they are really different. They are really different after they are married."

The speaker was wearing a complicated palace robe, with pearls hanging down, jade flowers and colored ribbons tied behind his back, and magnificent xiapei hanging down.

However, if it were to be matched with the slightly wrinkled, no longer young face, coupled with the soft and charming voice that was almost artificial, it would be a bit ridiculous.

Empress Dowager Xie was suddenly interrupted by her, she frowned and looked over, there was no smile in the depths of her eyes, some were just impatient, He Yaoqing also lowered her eyes and did not answer, as if she hadn't heard anything.

But the court lady didn't seem to notice anything, or it could be said that she didn't care, and she was still talking to herself: "My son-in-law, I saw him from afar at the beginning, and he really is a handsome, handsome man."

Of course, Xie Lingyu had to answer, and respectfully responded: "I dare not be a minister, and the imperial concubine is absurd."

This person, of course, is the only imperial concubine in the current harem, and also the biological mother of the crown prince—the title is Yi.
