Chapter 168 The Queen’s Birthday Banquet (3)
Jingyi was lying on the bed except for her outer shirt. The midsummer night was already extremely hot!The sound of cicadas coming from outside the window made people even more disturbed!Jingyi turned over and remembered a book she had read before saying that people's state of mind is not completely controlled by the environment, and sometimes it will be much easier to think about problems from a different angle.

Jingyi closed her eyes, no longer thinking about those troublesome things, the faint fragrance of lotus came from her nose, and the chirping of cicadas outside the window also sounded much more pleasant, like a lullaby, she fell asleep with Jingyi.

In the evening of the next day, Jingyi and Jingwei accompanied Gu Shi into the palace.Because it was midsummer, the palace banquet was held at night.Because now Jingyi is the Princess of Ping'an who is the second rank personally appointed by the emperor, so when she sees some noble ladies and daughters again, it is already time to receive gifts from others.

Because it was the queen's birthday, and she had just experienced a 'cold' incident, so nothing was done, only the family members entered the palace to celebrate the queen's birthday.

After entering the palace, she was led to the Yilan Hall in the Imperial Garden by the Sister Si Zan in the palace.

Since Jingyi entered the palace, she has been inseparable from Mrs. Gu, unlike Jingwei who occasionally meets acquaintances and exchanged pleasantries.

The interior decoration of Yilan Palace is fresh and elegant. It is different from the Chongwen Palace in the past. A sense of comfort.Everyone presented gifts to the queen one by one.After the queen had seen all of them and praised them, the banquet began.

For a while, in the Yilan Hall, singing and dancing were peaceful, and congratulatory voices continued.

Because it was the queen's birthday, all the concubines and princesses in the harem also came.Sitting on the left side of the empress is Concubine Degui!Jingyi saw that there was an empty seat next to Concubine De, and asked Gu to find out that it was Concubine Shu's seat, but judging by the situation, she probably wouldn't come.After hearing this, Jingyi was a little puzzled. If it was said that Concubine Shu had fallen out of favor, the emperor thought that she was weak and sick, so she would not have to spend all her time in the harem; but if she was said to be favored, anyone with a discerning eye could see it , the emperor seldom went to Concubine Shu's Yongshou Palace to stay overnight.Not everyone can understand the emperor's thoughts.

Jingyi saw from a distance that the princess named Li Jing was talking with Bai Min'er, and the relationship between the two seemed to be good.

From this point of view, this Li Jing should belong to Ming Wang Li Yu.

Bai Min'er is already sixteen, so it stands to reason that he should be discussing marriage.But for some reason, Bai Min'er has not been able to finalize the marriage for a long time!Ordinarily, her husband-in-law should be Ming Wang Li Yu without a doubt, but why did she not get married for so long?
After a song and dance, Bai Min'er stood up and saluted, "Empress Empress, today is your birthday, Min'er is not talented, and wanted to play the piano for her, so please don't dislike her."

"Min'er's piano skills, I know. You went to Jiangnan this time, and you have been there for half a year. If it wasn't for Bengong's birthday, I'm afraid you still wouldn't come back? That's fine, let Ben Let me hear whether your piano skills have improved?" The queen paused for a while, and then said: "It's just that it's too monotonous to only have the piano sound." The queen smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of regret in her tone.

Bai Min'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty, among the many ladies present, which one can't dance to a song?"

The queen smiled and said, "That's right! It's just that I was negligent." After finishing speaking, she looked around for a week, "Which young lady would like to come forward and dance?"

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to respond. This Bai Min'er's piano skills were good, but her mind was extremely narrow-minded, and she could not allow others to be better than her in the slightest.If you dance well, I'm afraid Bai Min'er will criticize you, after all, this piano is in someone else's hands, no matter how good your dance is, you have to follow the sound of the piano!But if the dance is not good, wouldn't it be a joke for so many ladies and ladies present?

Bai Min'er said: "Since all the young ladies are so humble, let the courtiers order, what do you think?"

The queen nodded, agreeing.

Bai Min'er walked around the hall for a short time, and finally stopped in front of Su Jingyi, and said softly, "Long time no see, Miss Su! I heard that you are very good at flowers and plants, but you don't know that you are proficient in music theory?"

Jingyi stood up and said with a faint smile: "Miss Bai is amazing! Jingyi only knows a little about flowers and plants, and is not proficient in music theory. Miss Bai, let's find someone else."

Bai Min'er glanced at her incredulously, and saw that she was wearing a pale pink dress today, and a moon-white gauze dress outside, and only two hairpins and a gold step on her head. shake.The dress of the whole person is extremely simple, but it is full of nobility!It's as if the fairy came to the world, making people dare not desecrate even half of it!
A look of jealousy flashed in Bai Min'er's eyes. It was the first time the two met since the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet seven years ago.After that palace banquet, father and mother controlled themselves extremely strictly, for fear that they might make a mistake!Afterwards, she also understood that she was being used by Yang Qian.

Last time, Cui Qianxi's birthday party, because she was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, she missed it.She just arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday, and as soon as she returned to the mansion, she heard that Su Jingyi had saved the people in the capital, and was conferred the title of Princess Ping'an by the emperor's decree!This made Bai Min'er so angry!How can it be swallowed?This time, after finally meeting her, Bai Min'er made up her mind to embarrass Su Jingyi.

Bai Min'er smiled softly, like a charming peony in full bloom, noble and gorgeous! "Miss Su is too modest. It's just to make the empress smile. It's not about who can dance better?"

Su Jingyi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. This Bai Min'er clearly knew that she had been crowned Princess Ping'an. On such a formal occasion, those who had a title would naturally call the other party's title, but this Bai Min'er was He deliberately called himself Miss Su, and repeatedly asked her to perform dances!This Bai Min'er is really interesting!
"Miss Bai's piano skills are unparalleled, and Jingyi knows it. It's just that Jingyi really doesn't understand music theory, so don't be embarrassed if you ask Miss Bai." After Jingyi finished speaking, she sat down, her face still full of indifference. smiling.

Bai Min'er was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that Su Jingyi would dare to disrespect her so much and reject her directly!Bai Min'er pursed her lips, smiled and glanced at Su Jing at the side.

Su Jingwei was startled, and hurriedly got up and said: "Jingwei is not talented, and she only understands music theory a little. If Miss Bai doesn't dislike it, why not let Jingwei dance for Miss Bai."

Bai Min'er smiled and nodded, before turning around, she took another deep look at Jing Yi, there was clearly a smile in her eyes!A smile that has done something bad and is about to succeed!

Jingyi always looked at Bai Min'er with a smile, so she didn't miss the smile in her eyes.But what surprised her was that Su Jingwei offered to dance with Bai Min'er!
