Mr. Fu, You’ve Spoiled Your Wife Rotten!

  Chapter 644 Dance Performance

   The two of them stood in the yard like this, eating the cake one bite at a time.

  It is early winter.

  The temperature at night is very low.

  Because Li Beibei was next to the oven just now, he took off his jacket and skirt.

  The inside is just a thin long skirt.

  Although she has always been in good shape.

   But still shivering from the cold.

  Seeing this, Fu Jingmo took off his cloak and tied it around Li Beibei.

   Li Beibei instantly felt wrapped in warmth.

  The next second, Li Beibei turned around and hugged Fu Jingmo's waist.

  Fu Jingmo instinctively stood up straight and remained motionless, letting Li Beibei hold her.

  Li Beibei said: "Fu Jingmo, when will we be able to go home."

  Fu Jingmo asked, "Where is your home?"

  Li Beibei said: "It's far, far away."

  Li Beibei really misses her relatives and friends in modern times.

  I miss Li Yanliang and Lin Jinghe.

   Are they very sad now.

  Even the people she hates, now that she thinks about it, they are not so annoying anymore.

  It's so lonely here.

  Sometimes, Li Beibei would also think about how she would spend every day without Fu Jingmo's company.

  Fu Jingmo said again: "Is it Nan Han?"

  In the continent of Four Seas, Nanhan is the country farthest from Donghua.

  Li Beibei said that her home is far away, so anyone would think her home is in Donghua.

  Li Beibei shook her head: "It's too far away, I don't remember the way home anymore, Fu Jingmo, when will you remember everything."

  Fu Jingmo was silent for two seconds and said, "I'll take you home."

  Li Beibei suddenly looked up at him.

  Fu Jingmo was firm again: "You want to go home, no matter how far away, I will take you back."

  Li Beibei's heart felt warm.

  Fu Jingmo hugged Fu Jingmo tightly again.

   Although he really doesn't remember anything.

   But they still approached slowly.

  Li Beibei leaned into Fu Jingmo's arms and said, "Okay, we'll go back when you remember."

  The next day.

   Xing'er came into the room early in the morning to report: "Saint, the national teacher is here."

  Situ Jing?

  What is he doing here?

  If it is said that the busiest person in this palace must be Situ Jing.

  He is in charge of the Tianji Pavilion, and he has to watch and calculate hexagrams every day, but at the same time Xuanyuan Junyi trusts him very much.

  I will also consult with him on important matters of the country.

   And he is proficient in pharmacology and medical science.

   It is said that none of the imperial doctors who came to the palace were as skilled as him.

  Occasionally, some elixirs are refined and provided to various palaces.

   Anyway, he is a very busy person.

  Li Beibei is the most idle person in the palace.

  Although she is named a saint, she is of the same rank.

  But to put it bluntly, it is a mascot.

  For the past three months, Li Beibei has been doing nothing every day.

   The most things I did were probably eating and chatting with Xuanyuan Junyi.

  Situ Jing usually would not come to her.

   Unless there is something important.

  Li Beibei hurriedly dressed and went out to the outer hall.

  As soon as he went out, he saw Situ Jing staring at a cloak on the seat in the outer hall in a daze.

   This cloak belongs to Fu Jingmo.

  After Li Beibei came back yesterday, she put it on the chair in the outer hall.

  Seeing Li Beibei coming out from inside, Situ Jing turned around: "Isn't the saint too diligent in patrolling the city camp recently? Now the palace is full of rumors, does the saint know?"

   Li Beibei actually knew it a long time ago.

  But Li Beibei still asked: "Oh? Really? What's going on in this palace?"

  Situ Jing said: "Many people in the palace saw you going to patrol the city camp in the middle of the night. The city patrol camps are all men. It is better for the saint to cherish her reputation."

  Li Beibei said: "I know, everyone in the palace says that I have an affair with Wei Feng, but you know that's not the case."

  Situ Jing said: "Of course I know that you went to patrol the city camp because of Fu Jingmo."

  Li Beibei sat down nonchalantly: "Of course I am for him. I told you that he is my old friend."

  Situ Jing said in a cold voice: "If you let other people hear such words, not only will it kill him, even you, in this palace, may no longer have the strength to stand."

  Li Beibei said: "Then I will leave the palace and take him to a place that no one knows."

  Situ Jing's voice became even colder: "You are a saint, you have your mission, and you are destined to never leave here."

  Li Beibei looked up, but her face was full of confusion: "You always say that I have my mission, so tell me what my mission is."

  Situ Jing said: "When the time comes, you will naturally know."

  He said that every time.

  Li Beibei didn't bother to ask.

  Li Beibei also knew that Situ Jing would not help her for no reason.

  However, she still had to rely on Situ Jing to unlock Fu Jingmo's heart-wrenching Gu.

  Li Beibei said: "Don't worry about my private affairs, I will pay attention to it myself. The national teacher came to see me today, and he has something to order."

Situ Jing said: "Three days later, it will be the Longevity Festival. There will be a big banquet in the palace, and all officials, civil and military, will bring their families to celebrate the birthday. That night there will be a Longevity Banquet in the Imperial Garden, and the Ministry of Rites will also prepare many programs. I hope that when the time comes, you will be the finale, praying for the emperor's birthday."

   After talking for a long time, Li Beibei finally understood.

  Dare to let her make a show.

  For Li Beibei, who was born in the entertainment industry and is good at singing and dancing, it was a piece of cake.

  Li Beibei said: "No problem, you can have as many programs as you want."

   Situ Jing frowned and looked at Li Beibei suspiciously.

   Li Beibei said: "Don't believe me? I am versatile!"

  Situ Jing said: "Do you want the assistance of the Ministry of Rites?"

  Li Beibei said: "No need, I just choose a few people from Xianzi Building."

  Situ Jing didn't say anything more.

   The three days are a bit tight.

   Besides, Li Beibei still has to make a birthday cake.

  So Li Beibei took the people from Xianzilou to rehearse dances during the day.

  In the evening, I went to the Imperial Dining Room to study how to make butter.

  But things are going well.

   After three days, Li Beibei's show was almost done rehearsing.

   On the day of Longevity Day, the palace was extremely lively.

  On weekdays, it is difficult for foreign ministers to enter the palace.

  But today, all officials above Rank 5 can enter the palace to participate in the Longevity Banquet.

  The Ministry of Rites set up more than a hundred tables in the Imperial Garden, and also built a huge stage.

  At this time, the Eight Immortals are celebrating their birthdays on the stage.

  The imperial garden was very lively.

  Eternal lamps were lit everywhere, and although it was night, it was as bright as day.

  Xuanyuan Junyi sat on a slightly higher table in the front.

   It happens to be condescending and you can see the performance in the center of the stage.

   In front of him is a long table full of exquisite dishes.

  Besides sit the Queen and Queen Mother.

   A little to the side is Concubine Liu Gui.

   Concubine Liu Gui's stomach has slightly bulged.

   From time to time, she deliberately leaned over to talk to Xuanyuan Junyi across the queen.

  Manchu civil and military officials sat behind and around them according to rank.

   Li Beibei's table is not far from Xuanyuan Junyi.

  Her table seats two.

  Arranged next to her is Situ Jing.

  After Situ Jing came over, he asked in a low voice: "Your birthday celebration program..."

  Li Beibei made an OK gesture towards Situ Jing: "Don't worry, just wait and see later, I won't embarrass you."

  In fact, in Li Beibei's mind, she was almost Situ Jing's subordinate.

  One is a national teacher and the other is a saint. If she performs, she must also represent Tianji Pavilion.

  The Longevity Banquet officially begins.

  All the actors on the stage retreated.

   Civil and military officials, royal palace nobles all began to step onto the stage to offer gifts.

   What the queen gave was a huge hand-embroidered hundred-shou screen.

  The queen said: "This is the concubine who spent the whole October showing it in person. Every stitch and thread represents the concubine's respect and love for your majesty. I hope your majesty likes it."

  Xuanyuan Junyi smiled and said: "The queen has a heart, I like it very much."

   After speaking, he asked someone to send the screen to Weiyang Palace.

   Concubine Liu Gui was not to be outdone.

She intentionally listened to her protruding belly as she walked onto the stage, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is a rare night pearl that my concubine's father found from the East China Sea after great pains. Brighten the room, the light is gentle and good for the eyes, and the beads are also very spiritual, and after a long time, it has the effect of prolonging life."

   Concubine Liu Gui opened the brocade box in her hand, and a soft green light instantly illuminated the entire stage.

   It is indeed a rare and precious night pearl.

   Xuanyuan Junyi said: "Okay, I also like the gift from the imperial concubine very much."

   Then came the royal palace nobles and civil and military officials to present gifts.

   General Chen presented a huge Buddha of Amitayus made of pure gold.

  Situ Jing is a elixir for protecting the heart and body.

  Situ Jing had just returned to his seat after delivering the gift.

   Concubine Liu Gui suddenly looked at Li Beibei and said, "I wonder what gift the saint has prepared for the emperor?"

   Li Beibei naturally also prepared gifts.

   It's nothing more than a birthday cake.

  Li Beibei planned to wait until the performance to take it out together, which would be more ceremonial.

  Hearing Liu Rumei's words, Xuanyuan Junyi also looked at Li Beibei.

   There seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Bebe, what are you going to give me?"

  The sound of "Bei Bei" made all the concubines jealous.

  When the emperor was with them, he rarely called them by their names so intimately.

  The saint's name is weird.

  But the emperor calls her Beibei affectionately every time.

   Actually, Concubine Liu Gui asked about it before.

  To prepare gifts for the emperor, most of the people in the palace have to spend money to manage them, or send people to search outside the palace.

  These bank balances can be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

  But this Xianzi Building is well-behaved, and it didn't cost a penny.

   So presumably you can't find any good things.

  Concubine Liu Gui touched her stomach, and couldn't wait to ask: "Is it possible that the saint didn't prepare a gift for His Majesty at all?"

   After speaking, Liu Rumei deliberately looked at Xuanyuan Junyi's face.

   Sure enough, Xuanyuan Junyi's face turned slightly cold.

  Everyone knows that the saint is a big celebrity in front of the emperor.

   Everyone knows that the emperor dotes on her, but they don't know how much she has been doted on.

   Liu Rumei knew about it.

  The emperor suffers from anorexia, and the time of eating is the most irritable mood every day.

  Usually at this time, he doesn't want to see anyone.

  But several times, when Liu Rumei passed by, she saw the saintess chatting and laughing with the emperor at the dinner table.

  The saint didn't seem to have the courtesy of a monarch and a minister to the emperor, but the emperor didn't care at all.

  And the previous incident, the emperor was obviously protecting the saint.

  If she hadn't happened to be pregnant, she must be still grounded now.

  Although now she has lifted the ban and regained her favor.

  But she didn't dare to provoke the saint easily.

  But today, if the saint did not prepare a gift, she could be punished for a crime of disrespect.

  Even if Xuanyuan Junyi doesn't care about it, I'm afraid he won't love her so much in the future.

  Li Beibei smiled: "Your Majesty, I must have prepared a gift for you, but please allow me to keep you a secret. Later, I will definitely present it to the Emperor myself."

   Xuanyuan Junyi smiled: "Okay, I'll wait."

   In Concubine Liu Gui’s view, this is just a tactic for the saint to delay the attack.

  Maybe she just didn't prepare a gift, and now delaying time, maybe she asked her subordinates to find something to deal with later in private.

  But even if you look for it now, you will definitely not find anything good.

   When she loses face later, she just needs to add oil and vinegar to the side.

   After the ceremony, there will be a program prepared by the Ministry of Rites.

   Not long after, Li Beibei also left to prepare for the sitting.

  Concubine Liu Gui has been sending people to keep an eye on Li Beibei all the time.

  Seeing her leave the seat, I thought she was going to find a gift.

   Concubine Liu Gui quickly said: "Where is the holy lady going? Your Majesty hasn't left yet. Wouldn't it be disrespectful for the holy lady to leave now?"

  At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Li Beibei.

  Li Beibei hasn't spoken yet.

  Situ Jing stood up and said, "The saint has prepared a program to pray for His Majesty's birthday, and now please allow her to go down and prepare."

  Xuanyuan Junyi's eyes lit up when he heard that Li Beibei had prepared a show.

  The more he watched the previous programs, the less interested he seemed.

  But now, he suddenly looked radiant.

  Xuanyuan Junyi said: "I have to look forward to the saint's show."

   Not for a while.

   Cheerful music sounded on the stage.

   "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

  Accompanied by the captivating music, a group of dancers ran onto the stage from left and right with huge skirts.

  They met the butterflies dancing in the garden, spinning and jumping on the stage, posing in various shapes.

   Although the dance is simple, but brisk, it is very different from the previous classical court dance style.

  Looking at the cheerful dancing posture, the whole person's mood jumped up.

   This is the paramount style dance that Li Beibei rehearsed for them.

  The dance costumes were also specially designed. Fortunately, all the maids in Xianzilou were exquisitely crafted, and they rushed out of work in one night.

  The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Xuanyuan Junyi, have never seen such a style of dance.

  Unconsciously, I was attracted by the people on the stage.

   Li Beibei is the lead dancer. She has a light figure and adapted a samba dance.

   Jumping lightly on the stage, like a deer in the forest.

  Everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted to her.

   Xuanyuan Junyi is also the same.

  His eyes fell on Li Beibei's body without blinking, and he had a gentle face and a smile on his mouth.
