Wen Zhaoyi said nothing and stared at the shoes in front of her for a long time before asking Shuangjiang with a gloomy face, "Besides you, has anyone else touched these shoes?"

Shuangjiang trembled when he heard this, and shook his head with a pale face, "Except for the slaves, no one else has touched these shoes."

The most important thing is that the needlework bureau inspected the shoes when they arrived and found nothing wrong with the shoes at that time.

But now there's something wrong with the shoes, which she can't even explain herself.

Wen Zhaoyi's eyes stayed on Shuang Jiang's face for a long time, and she chose to believe her for the time being, "Check carefully when you get back to see if someone changed the shoes when you weren't paying attention."

If this is not the case, then the problem must lie with the needlework bureau. The needlework is secretive and tricky. Maybe it was because when the shoes were delivered, Shuang Sheng did not find the problem when she checked. After all, she didn't notice it when she first put it on.

The problem is that during the dance, the silver needles hidden in the shoes were exposed due to the exertion of force.

Shuangjiang, who had escaped the disaster, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry Zhaoyi, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

Wen Zhaoyi nodded, gritting her teeth and thinking that if she found out who did this, she would make the person who did it regret it.

In the Yunyin Hall, it was Xu Jieyu who was toasting the emperor and congratulating the emperor on his birthday. Xu Jieyu did not perform any talent or anything, but rather gave the emperor a painting of a fairy driving a deer to celebrate his birthday.

Lu Wanning looked at Xu Jieyu, who returned to her seat after toasting the emperor, with an irrepressible smile on her face.

I thought to myself, no matter whether Wen Zhaoyi's accident had anything to do with Xu Jieyu or not, if something like this happened to Wen Zhaoyi, based on the relationship between Xu Jieyu and Wen Zhaoyi, it's not surprising that Xu Jieyu behaved like this.

When Lu Wanning was separated from these thoughts and emotions, the person on the field had been replaced by Cui Jieyu. Cui Jieyu also prepared a show. She prepared a sword dance.

Lu Wanning had seen her father dance a sword before. Compared with her father's sword dance, although Cui Jieyu's sword dance lost some strength, it was more graceful, which was not bad.

After Cui Jieyu finished her sword dance, she was praised by the emperor, the queen mother and several others. When she left, she felt very proud of herself.

After Cui Jieyu went down, it was Weng Jieyu's turn, and Weng Jieyu really chose to play the piano.

The sound of the piano sounded, and Lu Wanning hurriedly listened carefully. Although she didn't like Weng Jieyu, she was still curious about Weng Jieyu's piano skills that could be compared with Mr. Liang.

But after listening for a while, Lu Wanning shook his head in his heart. It was hard to live up to his reputation.

She was really disappointed. Not to mention being compared with Mr. Liang, Weng Jieyu's piano playing was not even as good as hers.

It is said that the emperor is a gentleman who has mastered the six arts. I don't think the piano played by Weng Jieyu today would surprise him.

The fact was just as Lu Wanning thought. After playing the piano, Weng Jieyu looked at the emperor proudly and expectantly, but the emperor just nodded lightly, without even saying a good word, let alone the surprise and admiration that Weng Jieyu expected.

.

Weng Jieyu retreated in disappointment.

Later, Zheng Meiren played a pipa song. The melody of the pipa song was gentle and gentle, and her skills were skillful. She was indeed a master.

Three people in succession chose to use their talents to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and all three of them were concubines who entered the palace with Lu Wanning this year.

Therefore, when it was Lu Wanning's turn, everyone, including the emperor, was already ready to see Lu Wanning show off his talents, but in the end, Lu Wanning simply presented an inkstone.

Lu Wanning's performance was beyond the expectations of the emperor and others.

However, no one stipulates that concubines must perform talents to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

Therefore, the emperor and the emperor just looked deeply at Lu Wanning, drank the wine offered by Lu Wanning, and did not say anything, let alone the queen mother, empress, and others.

Lu Wanning saw that the emperor drank the wine she offered and was about to go down. Hui Bin, who was standing beside her, picked up the water in the cup to moisten her mouth and said mockingly: "Beauty Lu and Cui Jieyu, Weng Jieyu, Zheng

The beauties entered the palace at the same time, and the three of them each showed off their talents to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Why are they missing when they come to Lu Meiren's place? Is it because you, Lu Meiren, don't have any talents that you can use?"

Lu Wanning lowered her eyes and said, "I really think that I am not talented enough to show my shame in front of the emperor and other empresses, so I did not choose to play the piano and dance."

Lu Wanning admitted so frankly that she was lacking in talent and knowledge, which made Hui Bin choke up.

When the queen saw that Hui concubine was deflated, she smiled slightly and said to Lu Wanning: "It doesn't matter if you don't show your talent. The most important thing in congratulating the emperor on his birthday is your heart. As long as your heart comes to you."

"After all, not everyone in this palace is skilled. For example, Hui Bin herself is neither good at playing music, chess, calligraphy or painting, nor can she dance a sword. So, Miss Lu, you don't need to pay attention to Hui Bin's words. Go back to your seat.

Go up."

Although the Queen promised Ying not to touch the child in Hui Bin's belly, she still remembered Hui Bin's actions during this period. Now that she had such an opportunity to belittle Hui Bin openly, she would certainly not let it go.

When Hui Bin heard this, her face darkened. She couldn't refute what the queen said even if she wanted to. After all, she herself was not proficient in these things. This was a fact that everyone knew.

Lu Wanning did not raise her head to look at Hui Bin. She thanked the queen respectfully and returned to her seat.

The emperor didn't say anything during the whole process.

Concubine Hui didn't wait for the emperor to speak for her. She couldn't help but look at Concubine Ming who was sitting under the Queen Mother. Concubine Ming was her aunt. She couldn't look at herself in such a shameful way, right?

But Concubine Ming deliberately ignored Hui Bin's gaze.

Seeing this, Hui Bin gritted her teeth, hugged her belly and showed an uncomfortable expression.

Seeing this, her maid on the side asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"I seem to have a stomachache." Hui Bin said.

Concubine Ming's eyebrows jumped when she heard this.

The queen looked at Hui Bin and sneered in her heart, but with a worried look on her face, she said: "Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? It's not because you ate something inappropriate, right? Why are you standing there, why don't you go to the imperial doctor immediately?"

Concubine Ming wanted to stop her, but the maid Liuli beside the empress had already responded and trotted off to ask for the imperial doctor.

Soon, the imperial doctor was invited over.

The queen was the first to speak: "Mr. Ding, please give Hui Bin a quick look. Hui Bin just said it hurts."
