This birthday party.

Naturally, he also invited Tang Fengjian and others to a banquet.

Even Fu Ningshuang, who was just a concubine, was invited.

Of course, this was a back door that Su Changzhao opened for her.

According to the system, Fu Ningshuang would not be qualified to attend.

And the new clothes she wore today were also prepared for her by Su Changzhao.

In fact, it was not just her. Su Changzhao had already ordered the Garment Bureau to make new clothes for Tang Fengjian and Xiao Qinsu as well.

Seeing the three of them, they all wore exquisite makeup and decent clothes tonight.

Su Changzhao nodded repeatedly in his heart: [As expected of the mistress of the dog emperor's harem, after a little dressing up, she is indeed extraordinary~]

[Ah, the dog emperor is so lucky in love, it makes people jealous. ]

Yu Jiuchen heard her inner voice: "Su Changzhao, you may have forgotten that you are also a woman."

Su Changzhao ignored Yu Jiuchen. After observing the three female protagonists, she soon noticed that General Lu was whispering with someone at the table.

[Will that old fox make any moves tonight? Well, we have to be on guard.]

Immediately turning his head, Li Xing stepped forward and said, "Your Highness."

"You go and keep an eye on it." Su Changzhao said in a low voice.

Li Xing had always been beside Su Changzhao. He naturally noticed what Su Changzhao noticed: "Yes."

After Li Xing left, Su Changzhao breathed a sigh of relief, because now that things were left to Li Xing, she didn't have to worry about anything.

He picked up the wine cup in front of him and glanced across at the opposite side.

I happened to make eye contact with a person who was dressed very garishly.

Su Changzhao was still wondering a second ago who among all the civil and military officials in the court had such an alternative taste that he sat there dressed like a colorful peacock.

The next second, he took a closer look and saw that it was Tang Jinyue, the eldest prince of Fenglai Kingdom!

Seeing the other person holding the cup and smiling at you, you drink it down in a gulp as a sign of respect.

Su Changzhao also raised the wine cup in his hand.

【Since you are a guest, I will give you this face. 】

Raise your head and drink it.

But what Su Changzhao didn't know was that Tang Jinyue had never taken his eyes off her since Su Changzhao sat down.

The moment he saw Su Changzhao's appearance clearly, Tang Jinyue thought he had seen a banished immortal descending to earth.

Although Yu Jiuchen, the emperor, is handsome and looks like Pan An.

But Su Changzhao's handsomeness is hard to find in the world.

With such a beauty, even Tang Jinyue felt inferior to her and admitted defeat sincerely.

"Oh, what a pity." His eyes darkened and he sighed.

The confidant beside him immediately used the time to pour wine for him and asked, "Why is your highness sighing?"

Tang Jinyue's gaze fell on Su Changzhao standing opposite him for a long time. He raised the cup to his lips again and said before drinking, "What a pity, he's a eunuch."

When the confidant heard this, he immediately knew that the master was talking about the Nine Thousand Year Old Su Changzhao.

Seeing the look Tang Jinyue gave Su Changzhao, he immediately felt frightened and dared not speak.

Because this kind of situation has happened in the past.

His Highness is a quirky person by nature, and has always been extremely obsessed with beautiful things.

I just heard Tang Jinyue say this, and then I thought of the look he gave Su Changzhao at this moment.

The confidant was afraid that his master would have some inappropriate thoughts again.

In Fenglai Country, if one takes a fancy to someone, no matter if they are men or women, or what their status is, the master will do whatever it takes to snatch that person away for his or her pleasure.

But now the opponent is the Nine Thousand Year Old Man who has great power in the court of Yulong Kingdom. He is second to none and holds supreme authority. He has unparalleled martial arts skills, but the key is that he is still a eunuch.

"..." The confidant only hoped that his master would behave himself this time and not be swayed by desires, thus offending a powerful country.

But what he didn't know was that the more Tang Jinyue looked at Su Changzhao, the more he was moved by her beauty.

Ah, even if he is a eunuch, he is really beautiful~

I really want to have it... once.

Su Changzhao was on this side. She also knew that Tang Jinyue had been looking at her.

However, the original book does not describe Tang Jinyue in detail.

She only knew that Tang Jinyue loved roses and beauties, and she didn't know anything else.

She would never have guessed that Tang Jinyue had already been setting his sights on her involuntarily.

[This Tang Jinyue, why is he always staring at me? That look is disgusting. If it weren't for the fact that he is Tang Dada's elder brother, I would have beaten him so hard that he couldn't even get up. ]

Hearing this, Yu Jiuchen noticed Tang Jinyue.

He found that, just as Su Changzhao said in his heart, he had been staring at Su Changzhao.

I couldn't help but feel a little angry.

This scene happened to be seen by Xiao Qinsu who was sitting at the table.

She originally came here with the purpose of seeing Yu Jiuchen and Su Changzhao.

I didn't expect that when I came over, I saw Yu Jiuchen staring at Su Changzhao.

Especially when Su Changzhao was coveted by others, Yu Jiuchen's expression immediately changed.

But she was even more excited.

Mmm, this is what I wanted to see.

As expected, His Excellency Qiansui belongs to His Majesty alone, and no one can destroy him!

Come on, Your Majesty!

End of the meal.

Fu Ningshuang felt satisfied just to see Yu Jiuchen from afar.

only……

She squeezed the sachet she had made herself in her hand.

I wonder if this thing can be given away?

Tang Fengjian sat at the front, just after Tang Jinyue.

She had been distracted tonight.

It was because his royal brother Tang Jinyue not only came to celebrate his birthday, but also brought a piece of news.

News that her father was seriously ill.

From what Tang Jinyue said, their father couldn't hold on for much longer.

If the elixir still cannot be found, and the Dragon Emperor is reluctant to make her his consort, she might as well return home to see her father for the last time.

So no matter how wonderful the performance was tonight or how lively the dinner was, she had no interest in it at all.

The next second, he seemed to have made up his mind.

She clenched her hands on her knees.

No, I must go to the treasure house again tonight and find the elixir to save my father!

Tonight, everyone's attention is on the birthday banquet, so going to the treasury is the best time.

If you miss tonight you will miss the chance.

So after Tang Feng finished toasting and saying her blessings to Yu Jiuchen, she made up an excuse that she was not feeling well and went back.

No one suspected that she had lied.

Su Changzhao was a little worried about her.

She seemed fine just now, why did she suddenly feel unwell?

As if seeing her worry, Xiao Qinsu volunteered to go and see Tang Fengjian.

Yu Jiuchen had no reason to stop him, so he agreed.

As a result, the two heroines were missing from the banquet, and Su Changzhao couldn't help feeling disappointed.

[What happened? They left one by one?]

[You, the dog emperor, are you the same? Tang Fengjian just said he was feeling unwell. Couldn't you send an imperial physician to take a look? ]

[Xiao Qinsu said she wanted to go take a look, can't you keep someone here? It's not a terminal illness, is it necessary to send a medical saint? ]

[That's good now. Two of the three have left, leaving only Fu Ningshuang.]

Yu Jiuchen: “…………”

[How can I let the Dog Emperor see Fu Ningshuang? I got it. Fu Ningshuang is good at music, and the Dog Emperor happens to like music. If I let her play the piano in public, the Dog Emperor will see her talent and maybe he will look at her differently.]

Yu Jiuchen remained calm but thought in his heart: You really put a lot of effort into this for me, Su Changzhao.

Su Changzhao just did what he said.

After a while, in front of everyone, he asked Fu Ningshuang to play the piano in public, saying that it was to celebrate Yu Jiuchen's birthday.

There was no reason for Fu Ningshuang to refuse, so she agreed immediately.

As her superb piano skills were recognized by everyone.

Some people began to discuss privately.

"As expected of a daughter raised by the old master, her piano skills are even better than when the old master was young."

"Yes, yes. No wonder she was able to attend the birthday party. She must have already caught the attention of the higher-ups. She just lacks an opportunity to stand out."

When they talk about making a name for themselves, when applied to the harem, it means being chosen by His Majesty and becoming one of the concubines.

Seeing the constant praise from all around, Su Changzhao felt that this move he made was absolutely the right one.

But what she didn't know was.

Everyone's attention was on Fu Ningshuang, except for a few people.

Although Yu Jiuchen was looking at Fu Ningshuang, it was only out of politeness. From time to time, he would still look at the heartless person below who was trying to play red strings.

I felt a little annoyed and helpless.

Su Changzhao, when will you start to feel the same way about me as I do?

Next.

In order to dispel the master's improper thoughts, Tang Jinyue's confidant took the opportunity to pour wine and said to Tang Jinyue: "I heard that the person playing the piano is the daughter of the Taifu family. She has been in the palace for a long time, but she is still a concubine and has not been favored yet."

"Yeah." Tang Jinyue nodded his chin, his tone light.

His heart sank. Generally speaking, if Tang Jinyue was interested in the other person, he would definitely ask the reason.

"Why are you still a concubine?", "It's a pity that such a beautiful lady with outstanding zither skills is neglected by the king." Such words should be said more or less.

But not today.

So the confidant is now extremely sure.

His master's heart has been completely won over by Su Changzhao.

True God, please bless His Highness and prevent him from doing anything irreparable and out of line!

The refreshing piano music slowly flows into the heart of the listener.

Even though Su Changzhao knew nothing about guqin and ancient music, he was shocked by Fu Ningshuang's skills.

[Awesome! She is indeed a talented woman! No wonder in the original novel, the dog emperor fell in love with her at first sight and asked her to play the zither whenever he encountered troubles. This guy really knows how to enjoy himself. I envy and hate the dog emperor for the Nth time! ! ]

Yu Jiuchen was speechless: Although Fu Ningshuang's piano skills are indeed good, they are not as exaggerated as you say. I will find a time to let you see my piano skills, and you will know what is good and what is bad.

Su Changzhao was listening to the piano with fascination, but her face remained calm and composed. No one could see the excitement in her heart, except Yu Jiuchen.

Just at this moment.

She suddenly discovered that there seemed to be movement from Lu Xianzong's side again.

The people who had left before came back and were whispering to Lu Xianzong again, talking about something unknown.

Su Changzhao remained calm, but his heart was beating fast.

[Li Xing has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet, could something have happened to him? ]

Because all the people he was asked to keep an eye on have come back, but he hasn't. Isn't this clearly a problem?

She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but she suddenly found that Lu Xianzong was looking at her, and the moment their eyes met, Lu Xianzong obviously smiled sinisterly at her.

"!!"
