Without wanting to say anything, she just waved her hand and told him to go down quickly. The imperial concubine standing by felt refreshed after watching this lively scene.
Especially when she saw Bai Shuran's distraught look, she felt that the depression that had been in her chest for more than ten years was instantly relieved a lot.
"Ayi, are you happy?"
The imperial concubine glanced at him coquettishly, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"She is my second sister. How can I be happy if she is not well?"
Xie Yunci looked at the uncontrollable smile on the imperial concubine's lips, and the corners of his mouth rose. "Well, if the smile on the imperial concubine's face was not so obvious, I almost believed it."
Bai Shuyi's smile froze, and he reached out to touch his face, "Your Majesty, is it really that obvious?"
Xie Yunci did not answer. He took out the mirror Bai Shuyi had given him under the cover of his sleeve and held it against her face.
"You don't believe what I say, then your Highness, just take a look for yourself."
A pair of beautiful lips appeared in the small mirror, painted with red rouge, and the lips were now upturned.
Bai Shuyi pulled the corners of his mouth downwards, hmm, it still doesn't seem to be working.
"emperor!"
Xie Yunci put the mirror away and said, "It's okay. I don't think anyone would dare to say that. Today is my birthday. What's wrong with the Imperial Concubine being happy?"
Bai Shuyi nodded, "Yes, today is the emperor's birthday. I am happy for the emperor. Your Majesty, I offer you a glass of wine."
"good."
Pei Yu took Chen Li back to her seat, while Lu Jing returned to his previous seat.
The Shen family, who had been worried all night, finally felt relieved after seeing the matter come to an end.
After this farce ended, music sounded again in the hall, and soon more dancers came on stage to dance.
When the banquet was halfway through, the soldiers came forward. He had already reviewed their military achievements and had already prepared corresponding official positions and rewards.
"Today is my birthday, and I should celebrate with the heavens. Since we have won a great victory in the north, I have decided to reward the three armies and grant amnesty to the people. Let all the heavens rejoice."
Everyone in the hall knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Long live the Emperor."
After these officers were conferred titles, some ladies and young ladies in the venue could not sit still. Some changed their clothes, while others strolled in the garden.
Although it was night, it was stuffy and hot sitting in the hall, so they had to go out and get some fresh air.
Chen Li and Pei Yu also went out. The Shen family was afraid of offending nobles if they went out, so they sat in their seats.
Shen Jingyuan was conferred the title of the Third Rank Zhenbei General this time. The emperor also awarded him a general's mansion. There were many other rewards that came down along with the imperial edict. It can be said that he rose to fame in one step.
Among all the generals who were awarded titles, Shen Jingyuan was the most conspicuous, because he was a commoner before, but now he was awarded the third rank. The class leap was so huge that it was astonishing.
When they saw him walking towards the Shen family, and thought of him having the same surname as Shen, everyone had a guess in their minds.
They didn't need to go over to listen, they just needed to look at the expression of the person next to them to understand that the General Zhenbei and the Princess of Hui'an County were a family.
At the same time, Lu Yan had some sinister thoughts in his heart, wondering whether he earned the title of General Zhenbei himself or it was given to him by the King of Jingnan.
But when his eyes touched the tall man Shen Jingyuan, they almost disappeared, but there are always one or two people with special personalities.
"Your Majesty, there are so many generals being conferred this time. I used to feel a bit bored sitting in this hall. I wonder if we could have a sparring match."
The person who spoke was also a general, quite young, named He Yu, a member of a clan, the deputy general of the Yulin Army, and considered a close confidant of the emperor.
"allow."
He Yu had a clear goal. He walked directly to Shen Jingyuan and said, "General Zhenbei, I want to spar with you. I wonder if you agree."
Shen Jingyuan stood up and said, "You can spar, but it's inevitable that you'll get hurt when sparring. If you get hurt..."
He Yu laughed and interrupted, "If I get injured during the sparring, I will never hold you responsible."
"Well, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back."
"General Zhenbei, please."
The two stood in the hall, Shen Jingyuan looked at He Yu, "What's your name?"
He Yu clasped his fists and said, "Your subordinate He Yu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard."
After some polite exchanges, the two men started fighting. Because today was the emperor's birthday, they tacitly chose not to use weapons.
The two people thought that fists could better demonstrate a person's strength without using weapons.
"Bang!"
Punches hit flesh, making muffled groans. The hall was very quiet. Everyone was watching the fight, wanting to know who would win.
Everyone in the capital knows He Yu, and his abilities are needless to say. If he didn't have some abilities, he wouldn't have become the deputy general of the Imperial Guard.
As for Shen Jingyuan, it is said that he has made many remarkable achievements in the north, but they do not know whether this is true or not. Today is the best time to test it.
Shen Jingyuan was worthy of being a warrior from the battlefield. It didn't take long for him to suppress He Yu in the fight.
At the beginning, He Yu was still able to fight with him back and forth, but after a cup of tea, he gradually began to lose.
Finally, Shen Jingyuan punched him back several steps. He Yu clasped his hands together and said, "General Shen has great skills. He Yu admires you."
Shen Jingyuan clasped his hands together and said, "I admit it."
"Your Majesty, He Yu was no match for General Shen. It was my recklessness."
Xie Yunci waved his hand, "Hey, it's not a big deal. You don't know, this General Shen, he is born with supernatural power, it's normal that you can't beat him."
"Born with supernatural powers? I see."
He said that when they were fighting just now, Shen Jingyuan seemed to have endless strength. If he was born with supernatural power, it would make sense.
"Alright, you can go down now," Xie Yunci glanced around the hall, "Who else wants to challenge the General Zhenbei?"
Bai Shuzhen stood up and bowed to Xie Yunci, who was sitting at the top of the table. "I've only heard of innate supernatural powers in storybooks, but never seen them in person. Today I have the honor of witnessing them for once."
Just now, when he saw his second sister being humiliated, if this wasn't the imperial palace, he would have wanted to go up and beat her up, although there was a high probability that he would not be able to beat her.
Xie Yunci: "You...then go ahead."
In fact, he wanted to say that you couldn't beat him, but seeing that boy's face was full of dissatisfaction, let him get beaten up, the imperial concubine might feel better.
Bai Shuzhen walked towards Shen Jingyuan, "General, please teach me."
Soon, the two began to fight. Bai Shuzhen was one of the famous playboys in the capital. He was uneducated and knew a little bit of martial arts. Shen Jingyuan only used five moves to defeat him.
In fact, for Shen Jingyuan, his three-legged cat kung fu could be repelled with one move. The reason why he used five moves was to save his face.
