In the next two days, Chen Ning focused on practicing the piano in the piano room, and no one except the two piano players allowed him to enter. Dong Yuheng was very busy these days because of the continuous gathering of foreign envoys, and he had no time to pay attention to her.

On the eve of his birthday, the emperor went to bed early, but Chen Ning was reading a book and saw Zi Shi. As soon as the time arrived, she sat by the bed and woke the emperor up, kissed him, said, "Happy birthday, handsome guy," and then climbed onto the bed with a smile and crawled into his arms to sleep.

Dong Yuheng, who was sleepy, was stunned at first, then half closed his eyes and chuckled tightly, kissed her forehead and fell asleep again.

On the 26th, before dawn, the master and slaves in the imperial city woke up. The palace servants of Qiankun Palace worshipped the emperor for a long time before they got up to change clothes and wash him. Chen Ning changed into apricot yellow embroidered cloud-turned dragon robe and appeared in front of him. The dragon flying on his chest reflected the soft and heroic face, which added a cool and cool charm. The emperor had never seen a woman's dragon robe wearing such a heroic dragon robe. He stared at her and smiled without saying a word. Chen Ning also looked back at him carefully and looked at him in a bright yellow satin five dragon robe that symbolized the Supreme of Nine Five. He was stunned for a moment and smiled foolishly and said, "So handsome..."

Dong Yuheng laughed because of her stupid look, then explained a few words and walked away from the palace to court.

The court officials had already been waiting outside the hall, and the emperor accepted worship from all the ministers outside the Kaiming Hall. The ministers celebrated the 19th New Year holidays, and the 12th Winter Solstice celebrations, and the 33rd birthday celebrations. The cabinet held a cup to celebrate the emperor's birthday on behalf of all the officials, and the emperor gave tea soup to all the ministers.

Afterwards, Dong Yuheng sat on the temple and accepted gifts from all the princes and officials. There were many rare treasures, and occasionally one or two satisfying things made the emperor happy and rewarded all the officials according to their rank.

After the court was settled, the emperor returned to the harem to receive the ceremony of the concubines. The princess gave half of the ceremony, and the queen and the concubine Baorui led all the concubines, princesses and princesses to give gifts.

It was already noon in the blink of an eye, and the harem was set up. The emperor accompanied the concubine to the table. Meng Ya and Chen Ning sat on both sides, and the other concubines were in the table one by one. After singing, the first time came out of Hongfu Qitian, the concubine sent a copy of Buddhist scriptures and a string of Buddhist beads. The queen gave a genuine work of Zhang Shuangkai, a calligraphy master of the previous dynasty. Emperor Guangde was quite happy.

When Concubine Zhibaorui was staring at the ingenious gifts that the favorite concubine had given her now. Unexpectedly, it was just a pot of jade-carved peach trees. Although it was rare, it was not surprising.

Everyone was a little disappointed and gloating, thinking that the imperial concubine was not scheming.

Dong Yuheng took the gift and played for a while, and glanced at her with a smile, "I like it very much."

"I wish my emperor a long life." Chen Ning looked at him with an unknown smile for a moment, bowing his head and saluting.

Next is when concubines compete for beauty. Few concubines of low-ranking ranks attracted the emperor's eyes. They always played the piano and danced, and many wrote poems and embroidered. The beautiful beauty and the beautiful beauty danced a flying dance. The new talented woman danced a song in Taoyuan. The flowers and shadows sang a joyful dragon and phoenix. Concubine De not only offered a gift, but also presented a poem to add icing on the cake.

The most outstanding one is Chen Jieyu's double-sided embroidery of the country for generations. It is spread out to be thirty feet long, and the country is like a painting and lifelike. The dragon face is very happy, and the concubines praise it very much, and the concubines envied it.

Dong Yuheng ordered people to take it with them and rewarded Chen Mei with ten golden oxen engraved with the words "Shou".

"Imperial Concubine, your sister is so handsome." Concubine Zhuang looked at Chen Ning and sarcastically.

"The Empress Zhuang is too rewarded." When Chen Mei mentioned Chen Ning was raised again. On the first day after returning to the palace, Chen Mei hugged her daughter to welcome her in Chunxi Palace. Only then did she realize that Dong Yuheng not only brought Chen Mei into the palace, but also had children. She immediately killed Dong Yuheng. Although she was mentally prepared that this man would not be as good as a jade because of her "death", and knew that it was after she left, Chen Mei... This incident really annoyed her for a long time. Even if Dong Yuheng asked Chen Mei to move out of Chunxi Palace, she was depressed and still didn't know what attitude to treat Chen Mei.

Finally, the emperor and the queen accompanied the concubine to leave the table. Chen Ning returned to the palace to take a nap. After only a while of sleep, Liuli woke her up to attend the night banquet.

This night banquet is very formal, and all civil and military officials and foreign envoys must be held. Only the palace lords above the concubine can attend in the harem. Therefore, except for Concubine Hui who cannot afford to be sick, there are only Concubine Princess, Empress, Concubine Baorui, Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine De who are in the harem.

Chen Ning and two concubines followed the queen to pick up the concubine. The concubine glanced at the dragon robe on her body and said with a light face: "Do the Tian family gave you a dragon robe?"

"Yes, the noble concubine." Chen Ning replied respectfully.

"Since the Tian family is a kindness, you must not let down the emperor's love. Never be arrogant by favor and always be careful to do your duty."

"Yes, follow the teachings of the Concubine." Chen Ning replied gently.

The concubine nodded with satisfaction, Meng Ya personally helped her, took two steps and then got on the Buyu. The queen and Chen Ning were with each other. The concubine asked again: "I heard that the Ai family has been in the imperial concubine's palace since the Tian family returned to the palace?"

"Yes." Chen Ning replied with his head down.

The concubine nodded and said no more.

The meaning is self-evident.

Chen Ning's mouth moved.

The banquet was held in Kunming Hall. Outside the hall, there were ten feet high fire trees hanging on palace lanterns to pray for blessings. The emperor, the concubines, princes, close ministers and foreign ambassadors sat in the hall, and the staff and foreign envoys sat in the two corridors outside the hall. This year, there were more foreign envoys to celebrate their birthdays than in previous years, and even several countries that had not congratulated each other in previous years sent envoys to celebrate their birthdays. Among them, the emperor was most concerned about the Yunfu Empire outside the southern border. In the past ten years, Jingchao has been resting and recuperating, but the Yunfu Kingdom has been developing peacefully. The rich river area has left no hunger in the streets across the country, and the people live and work in peace. I heard from spies that their shipbuilding skills are very impressive and their medical skills are also extremely powerful.

This is also the first time they sent envoys to come to the grand scene.

During the meal, Dong Yuheng asked the ambassador of the Yunfu Empire and Prince Shemin, the younger brother of the Yunfu Kingdom, to sit at the top of the envoy. Chen Tai, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, took great care of him when he received the imperial edict, but Prince Shemin always had a arrogant expression.

After a cup of wine, the music and singing rose up, the sound of gold and stones sounded, the clouds were full of colors, and the guests were full of fun. After two cups of wine, the singing and dancing were over. Foreign envoys presented gifts. The treasures of value were dazzling, and there were even strange birds and beasts. Chen Ning thought of a snow-white tiger cub.

Emperor Guangde was very happy and drank with the guests until he returned home in a daze.

Concubine Baorui left the table half an hour ago without any effort. The concubines looked forward to it, but the emperor still left alone.

***

Dong Yuheng was not drunk, and walked into the harem to dissipate the alcohol. He thought about asking Chen Ning to pass through Qiankun Palace. Unexpectedly, the eunuch of Chunxi Palace was waiting behind the palace gate, saying that the imperial concubine was welcomed by the emperor in Chunxi Palace.

The emperor raised his eyebrows. Could it be that there was still an unexpected joy? Thinking of her hard practice during this period, he couldn't help but chuckling, either, he could not ruin this heart.

When the imperial guard arrived at Chunxi Palace, Dong Yuheng saw all the slaves from Chunxi Palace waiting outside the door. Liuli stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please invite Your Majesty to enter the palace alone."

Dong Yuheng curled his lips and nodded. The two eunuchs opened the palace gate and bowed to make way. Dong Yuheng stepped into the threshold, and the eunuch closed the palace gate again.

The noise was gone for a while, and the breeze blew with faint fragrance. The emperor looked up and saw that the courtyard was quiet. A rosewood erected table was placed next to a bush of bamboo forests. The table was placed on the table with the famous Qin Liuyou. There was a crane incense burner standing on both sides of the table. The fragrance lingered. The beauty sat in front of the table with a moon-white gauze, her eyes were gently curled, her red lips were smiling, and her slender hands were slightly raised.

The emperor stared at the soft beauty under the moonlight and walked slowly to the throne of the golden croaker that he had been placed for him.

Chen Ning gently zipped the strings of the piano, touching the heart, and a faint love arose.

The emperor sighed lightly and felt tenderness surge.

The slender finger stopped lazily, Chen Ning raised his lips and stared at the emperor for a while, lowered his head and plucked the strings.

The emperor listened in a slight surprise, and it turned out to be the famous song "Nanfeng".

Nanfeng song was originally written by the music master of the previous dynasty who missed his wife with deep affection. This song was lingering and touching, and even if it was as exquisite as Concubine De, it was only played.

However, why does the strings of tonight seem to be moving into the heart? The emperor closed his eyes and listened carefully, and seemed to be able to feel the love that Chen Ning came through the silk of the piano. Her former love, secret admiration, disappointment, despair, and struggle seemed to be silently told, and then his fingers shook, and thousands of love came to him, and his heart trembled slightly.

Finally, the string condenses fingers and fingers stop, and there is a strong sense of affection.

Dong Yuheng opened his eyes and sighed softly, Chen Ning slowly raised his body, and looked at his crystal eyes with thousands of words. At this time, silence was even more than sound.

After the two of them had a long time of gaze, Dong Yuheng chuckled slightly hoarsely and said, "The best piano in the world."

His smile slowly expanded, Chen Ning stood up and threw himself into his arms.

Dong Yuheng hugged Chen Ning horizontally into the hall. After a vivid lingering, the sweat on the two of them wet the quilt. The imperial concubine's breathing was filled with the afterglow of pleasure. Even though her body was sticky, Dong Yuheng was unwilling to get up. Her long arms pulled Chen Ning into her arms, lifted her sweaty forehead, curled her lips and smiled: "I don't want Ning'er to hide it deeply."

Chen Ning was still breathing slightly, and after a while, he said, "I just know." After more than two years with Li Ziqi, the only thing she learned was playing the piano. She was not good at learning skills and was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Li Ziqi said that she was very affectionate with the piano.

"Ning'er's words are too humble. I think no one can defeat her with a song of the south wind." He had never heard of such a long and endless affection that reached people's hearts.

Chen Ning raised his lips, raised his head and approached his ear and exhaled like orchids, "That's because I chose love threads and plucked love strings..."

The sound of nature came into my ears, and Dong Yuheng's heart almost became soft and soft.

The fine fingers slid across the firm chest, "I would never be able to play like this in front of others..."

Dong Yuheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply for a long time, then he asked roughly against her lips, "Just for me?"
