As soon as Xiao Xi sat down, he ate impolitely.

She asked as she ate.

"Would you like some too? The melon is very sweet."

Seeing her eating with relish, imperial concubine Li couldn't help but secrete saliva crazily, but she had to show a false smile on her face.

"No, I don't eat."

She forgot that concubine Xiao was a fat eater!

It's over. She has a hunch that she will be abused again.

Her guess turned out to be true.

When the birthday banquet officially began, many delicious dishes were brought to the table. Xiao Xixi kept up with the wind. The chopsticks in his hand kept turning back and forth between the dishes and his mouth at an extremely fast speed.

Imperial concubine Li stared at the dog.

There were people performing on the stage, and there were bursts of cheers.

Princess Jing and Princess Bai were supposed to perform on the stage, but Princess Xiao compared them with the actors in front of the prince last time, which made them shameless in front of the prince.

In order not to be reduced to fighting for work with the actors, Princess Jing and Princess Bai quit the invitation of Princess Xian and did not perform at the birthday banquet.

Facts have proved that their choice is correct.

Today, apart from those low-level concubines who were originally singers and dancers, there are only dancers and musicians kept in the palace and famous actors invited from outside the palace.

If concubine Jing and concubine Bai come on stage to perform, there is no doubt that they will immediately become the focus of everyone's discussion.

After all, others are dancers and actors, and only they have different identities.

It's like standing out from the crowd.

Everyone may not say anything on the face. In private, they will laugh at their shallow eyelids and perform on the same stage with a group of dancers and actors. In order to attract people's attention, they really don't even want face.

Concubine Jing and concubine Bai looked at the dancing girls on the stage, and their faces were very ugly.

At this time, they already knew.

Princess Xian said before that every palace would have a program, which was a lie,

Princess Xian deliberately dug a hole to make a fool of them at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so as to discredit the impression of the East Palace in the Empress Dowager's heart and outsiders.

Fortunately, the two of them were excited by concubine Xiao and changed their mind temporarily, otherwise they would fall into concubine Xian's plan.

When they thought about this, they couldn't help looking in the direction of Princess Xian.

Princess Xian is sitting behind the food table. Her gorgeous clothes set her off more and more beautiful and moving.

She devoted herself to watching the performance on the stage, with a decent smile on her face. She never looked at Princess Jing and Princess Bai from beginning to end.

This is the harem, a battlefield where you can't see the smoke of gunpowder.

There are traps everywhere. If you are careless, you will fall into the pit dug by others. Finally, you don't even know how to die.

At the birthday banquet, envoys from various countries presented congratulatory gifts and blessings to the Empress Dowager.

The local conditions and customs of each country are different, and the gifts and blessings presented are also full of tricks.

Some send jade, some send cattle and sheep, some send cloth, and others send a white elephant.

When the huge white elephant was led out, everyone present was stunned.

Even Xiao Xi, who was buried in eating, couldn't help raising her head.

As she gnawed at the chicken leg, she observed the majestic white elephant.

The envoy stood next to the elephant, sent blessings to the empress dowager, and said a lot in his mouth.

Xiao Xi didn't understand a word.

Fortunately, someone nearby helped translate. It probably means that elephants represent longevity and health in their country. The white elephant is a symbol of holiness and purity. They dedicated the white elephant to the Empress Dowager in the hope that the Empress Dowager can be blessed with longevity, health and long life.

The words were very nice. Naturally, the Empress Dowager was very happy and accepted the gift with a smile.

The emperor also gave the white elephant a very grounded name on the spot, Changsheng.

Xiao Xixi is a little curious. Where should he keep such a big elephant?

Although the palace is large, the environment here is really not suitable for elephants.

The white elephant was led down.

Next, the prince and the princes and princes came forward to offer gifts.

Various valuable gifts were sent to the Empress Dowager like running water.

The Empress Dowager is worthy of being the Empress Dowager. Even if she has to spend her eyes, she still stably maintains her dignified and atmospheric personal appearance, and always has a kind smile on her face.

Due to the limited time, the congratulatory gifts from concubines, princesses and civil and military officials could be presented one by one. They were packed and sent to the Changle palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

The sunflowers sent by Xiao Xi were naturally sent to the Changle palace. Now they should have been piled up with other congratulatory gifts.

After the birthday banquet, the people followed the emperor and the Empress Dowager to Changting Pavilion.

Changting Pavilion is built by imitating the opera garden, with special stage and elegant seat.

The Empress Dowager and the emperor naturally sit in the best seats in sight. The queen and the prince sit in the seats on both sides respectively, and others sit down according to their status.

Xiao Xixi and three other concubines were arranged to the prince.

Luo QingHan is wearing a full moon silver pattern wide sleeved brocade robe today. The collar and cuffs reveal the edge of a little purple Chinese clothes. He has a golden crown, hair tied and a jade belt around his waist. The exposed fingers are slender and beautiful, with a cold white luster.

The eyebrows are sparse and cold, like white winter snow, and the face is beautiful, like a cold night and a cold moon.

Black eyes are deep and indifferent.

The whole person looks cold and holy, and there is a bit of ascetic beauty that people want to blaspheme.

When his eyes swept over, imperial concubine Jing, imperial concubine Bai and imperial concubine Li couldn't help their hearts beating faster. Even Xiao Xi, who was used to his appearance, was a little confused.

Although the prince is always cold, light and inhumane, and always likes to say something that makes people hate their teeth itch, just punch his face. Princess Jing and Princess Bai and Princess Li think they can love him for decades!

Human beings are sometimes so superficial.

As long as you look good, you can be easily forgiven even if you make a mistake.

But if you look ugly, let alone be forgiven, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to make mistakes.

Luo QingHan's eyes fell on Xiao Xi and said faintly, "come here."

Under the jealous gaze of the other three side imperial concubines, Xiao Xi ran over and sat next to Luo QingHan.

Next to Luo QingHan, there is a table with melons, fruits, tea, and a hinge for the play.

He picked up the fold and asked Xiao Xi what he wanted to see?

Xiao Xixi is not interested in opera.

"I don't understand this. Your highness, just order your favorite music."

Luo QingHan saw her eyes staring at the melon and fruit tea on the table, so he pushed the melon and fruit in front of her, indicating that she wanted to take it by herself.

Xiao Xi immediately picked up a loquat, peeled it and stuffed it into her mouth.

Luo QingHan put the fold back.

Looking at his indifference, he is obviously not interested in opera.

The reason why they came to Changting pavilion was mainly because the Empress Dowager liked to listen to the play.

Today is her old man's birthday. Naturally, everyone should meet her hobbies.

A large group of people accompanied her here to listen to the play and wanted to make a good noise.
