In a blink of an eye, two months have passed.

For the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor and the great event of the envoys from various countries coming to celebrate his birthday, the palace has been busy for two months, except for the renovation and cleaning of some halls, and even all the flowers and plants have been rearranged.

Originally, during the two years that the emperor and the concubine left the palace, everyone was a little lazy, but they didn't expect that they would bring back such a big thing as soon as they came back. In the past, the entire imperial city was completely renewed, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On this day, Nan Yan, accompanied by Concubine Yi and Concubine Li, walked up to the tower to see the scenery.

Almost the entire imperial city was in sight, she looked at the cleaned glazed tiles, and the golden roof reflecting the sun, she couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen the imperial city so beautiful for a long time. "

Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Since the emperor moved the capital, he has been busy with government affairs and rarely entertained, so how can he have time to clean up?"

Concubine Li covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Everyone said this time, I just hope there will be more times in the future."

Nan Yan shook his head with a wry smile: "It's good to have this time, the emperor has been worried that the cost is too high."

Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, why did the emperor suddenly decide to do something big?"

Nan Yandao: "It's not the trouble in Japan this time. His Royal Highness has done a good job, and he has taken care of his inner face, which has convinced the people of the Western countries, so they proposed to come to the emperor to congratulate him on his birthday; who knows that they This mention, after the emperor agreed, not only the western and southern oceans, but even the monarchs of the countries in the western regions will send people over when they hear the news, and the scene will be big."

Concubine Yi said, "This is something that has never happened before."

Concubine Li also smiled and said, "Isn't it true that we have caught up with such a prosperous world."

Hearing the word "prosperity", Nan Yan felt as sweet as eating honey, looked around, and said softly, "This palace has already told the emperor, you two are the old people in the palace, You Qi Li The concubine and sister managed the harem during the emperor's tour of Yongzhou this time, and she has contributed a lot, so the emperor agreed to let the two of you attend at that time."

Concubine Yi and Concubine Li couldn't believe their ears.

Concubine Li opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: "Miss, is it true? Let's go to such a big scene?"

Nan Yan smiled and said: "Since it's a big scene, naturally, I want you to go and see it. However, there are not many people who can go to the harem, just two or three. You have to be prepared, and don't make any mistakes at that time. The emperor is ashamed."

Concubine Li was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I understand."

Concubine Yi was also very happy. Although she was famous and had seen some things in the world, she had never seen such a world. The two of them naturally knew that this was the result of the imperial concubine's plea to the emperor, so they both thanked the imperial concubine. Yifei turned to Concubine Li and smiled, "I didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to us."

Nan Yandao: "Don't just think about good things. These days, this palace will follow the emperor to check all parts of the palace to see if there are any omissions. You should take more care of the harem. Come again, there will be such a big event soon, the harem. Don't let anything happen, it will spoil the emperor's happiness."

The two said immediately, "Yes."

In the next few days, Nan Yan accompanied Zhu Feng to check the preparations in various places in the palace in great detail. The repair and cleaning have been completed, and the next step is the arrangement of the dishes and the display of the birthday banquet.

Zhu Feng originally planned to place the banquet directly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but after careful calculation, he found that there were so many people that if the envoys and their entourages from various countries were included, the Hall of Supreme Harmony would not be able to sit at all.

Nan Yan looked at the size of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and calculated the people who came. It was indeed impossible to sit down.

So he said, "What does the emperor plan to do?"

Zhu Feng said: "Heyi's suggestion to me is that only the main banquet will be set up in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to entertain the envoys of various countries, and then officials of the second rank or higher will be selected among the civil and military officials to accompany them."

Nan Yan nodded and said, "That's fine. It's just that those envoys can't just come alone, and the entourage may not be all idlers. Are they not allowed to sit at the table? This makes people say that we are stingy."

Zhu Feng said: "This is natural, so we have to arrange another place."

Nan Yandao: "How does the emperor arrange it?"

Zhu Feng said: "Heyi and your uncle both suggested to hold the banquet in the Wuying Hall, but I feel that although the Wuying Hall is not far from the main hall, it is separated by a distance, and they can't hear what I say here; Besides, the Wuying Hall is not big, so going there to have a banquet makes people feel petty."

Nan Yan nodded.

She looked back at the spacious hall, and then slowly walked to the door of the hall and looked down, the spacious open space immediately came into view. She thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this courtyard is already big, why not open another seat here?"

"here?"

Zhu Feng walked over and glanced down, and immediately said, "It's not that I didn't think about this place, but this place is empty. If there's wind and rain, wouldn't it make people suffer outside?"

Nan Yan immediately said: "It will not rain. The concubine has already made people look at the weather. From today to the day of the emperor's birthday, there will be no wind or rain in the capital. If the emperor is worried about the envoy's entourage and civil and military officials sunburned-"

She said, and looked at the spacious square again.

Then he said: "Looking at the concubine, it is better to pull the pergola from north to south. From east to west, a total of eight can be drawn, four on each side, which can accommodate hundreds of people to celebrate the emperor's birthday at the same time. In this way, the emperor does not have to worry about the banquet. Open two places, and you don't have to worry about people looking at us. It's spacious enough to have a banquet here."

Hearing what she said, Zhu Feng was a little moved.

Nan Yan continued: "At that time, the dance music does not have to be in the main hall, and can be moved directly outside the main hall, so that the emperor and the people in the main hall can see it, and the people below can also see and hear it. Wouldn't it be nice to have fun together?"

Zhu Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, that's it."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head, and Xiao Shunzi, who was following him, said smartly, "This servant will go down and pass the decree."

After saying that, he ran away.

Zhu Feng watched him run away, and then he looked back at Nan Yan and said with a smile, "My concubine is getting more and more capable."

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "It's just a small matter, the concubine just came up with an idea. What can I do? The emperor is too condescending."

Zhu Feng endured a smile and said, "Don't compliment you, and your tail will be lifted up. You can watch Xinping and Chengjun carefully these two days. When that time comes, they will all be there with the prince. This time is not in the past. The family banquet in the harem is a big scene, they are not allowed to embarrass me."

Nan Yandao: "Of course."

Zhu Feng nodded.

When he turned to look at the busy crowd below, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly sighed.
