Kangxi casually pinched a piece of snack, took a bite, and smiled at the empress dowager, "My mom, this year's empress dowager cake is well made."

The so-called Empress Dowager's Cake was named after the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, Empress Dowager Bo.

Later it has always become the standard in palace snacks.

In fact, it is made of a variety of nuts, and it is a five-kerchief in modern times...

The queen mother glanced at the snacks on the plate, sighed, and said, "It's delicious, but Ai's teeth have fallen off recently, and some are still shaking, and it hurts a lot."

As he said that, the Queen Mother's hand wearing cloisonné nails gently touched her left cheek.

After hearing this, Kangxi felt mixed emotions.

Although the Queen Mother was not his biological mother, she had been with her for a long time than her biological mother.

From the moment he was born, he was raised under the care of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Su Malagu.

The Empress Dowager was a long-lived man, but she went there a few generations later.

Su Malagu also went there a few years ago.

Now, there is only a close relative like the Queen Mother who is left by her side.

However, today is the birthday of the empress dowager, and he is not willing to be compassionate.

Instead, he smiled heartily and said, "I don't know that losing teeth is a good thing and a merit."

As soon as these words were said, the Empress Dowager was full of confusion and said angrily: "The Emperor thinks that the Ai family is confused. They are just using these words to deceive me, the old woman, into being happy."

"I often hear from the old man that if the old man's teeth fall off, it may be painful, which will have great advantages for his descendants. You think that if your teeth hurt again and fall off again, isn't this merit?" Kangxi said.

Now, the Queen Mother listened.

He also glanced at the fifth princess below and smiled lovingly: "It seems that Xiao Wu will take all this benefit."

Kangxi also glanced at the fifth princess under his eyes and said lightly: "If the emperor likes Xiao Wu, let her raise her baby in the palace."

"Let her go to her house. There are many rumors in the palace. She is in a special situation. The Ai family is afraid that she will not be able to bear it." The empress dowager said in a low voice.

Kangxi had a strong eyebrows and said stubbornly: "In the Forbidden City, I still care about so many things."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Kangxi with her eyes, then smiled and said, "Okay, since the emperor has spoken, the Ai family will let Xiaowu live in the palace for a while."

Then, in front of everyone, she said to the fifth princess: "Xiao Wu, your emperor Ama said, "The five characters are not in the house, so you can go to the palace to accompany Ai's family for a while, so that you can also raise your baby."

The fifth princess who was suddenly named stood up with her big belly and said flatteredly: "Thank you for your compassion for your ancestors."

"Sit down quickly, sit down." The Queen Mother really felt sorry for the fifth princess.

After the fifth princess sat down, she finished singing a play in the hall.

At this time, Kangxi suddenly stood up and dismissed the opera singer.

The empress dowager who was in the forefront smiled and said, "My mom, today is your birthday, so I will personally present a python dance to celebrate your birthday."

As soon as the voice fell, the princes and ministers in the hall were stunned.

The emperor, who was extremely majestic in the past and had iron-blooded methods, actually wanted to dance?

Even Ruoyin, who had been eating constantly, was holding up a handkerchief and a smile of anticipation appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She really never saw Emperor Kangxi dancing.

I want to see it, I really want to see it.

But the empress dowager who was in charge stood up in a hurry.

"It's impossible to use it, the emperor really cannot use it!" She also ordered the slave beside her: "Come on, the emperor is drunk, please help him up and sit down."

The servants stood there in a daze, looking at Kangxi, wanting to step forward, but they dared not move forward.

After all, Kangxi didn't say anything.

"My mom, I haven't drunk too much." Kangxi smiled and said in a rare gentle tone.

But even so, his whole body exudes awesome cold air, an absolutely authoritative arrogance, and an arrogant emperor's domineering aura.

After saying that, he really danced a python dance despite the Queen Mother’s opposition.

Ruoyin holds the blessing of the Fourth Master, and sits in front.

It wouldn't be like some officials and princes who can only see Kangxi's back.

She could see the entire front of Kangxi.

I saw this middle-aged man in his fifties, with a tall body that is common to people.

Flax-colored healthy skin, facial features cannot be described as good-looking.

I can only say that I am smart and powerful, with a rock-shaped appearance.

Wrinkles are engraved on the forehead and corners of the eyes, and stubble is unique to middle-aged men on their face and chin.

Such a man danced in front of princes and ministers.

From time to time, one sleeve goes to the forehead, and the other sleeve goes on the back, making a circle.

It jumps like a giant python, so it is called python dance.

This style of dance, also known as Mack dance, was originally a musical dance performed during festive banquets among the Manchu people.

Later, somehow, it was introduced into the palace and became a palace banquet.

The dance is not very beautiful, it represents a festive atmosphere and posture.

Especially when Kangxi jumped like this, he actually felt a sense of intertwining passion and humor.

But no matter what, what is passed on to everyone here is more of a sense of filial piety, which is touching.

Maybe at this moment, this emperor really regarded himself as his son and was offering a birthday dance to the Queen Mother.

In about a cup of tea, Kangxi finished a complete set of python dances.

When young people next to them dance this kind of dance, they will also get hot and sweat all over.

Not to mention Kangxi, who was about fifty years old, had already had sweat on his forehead.

When the empress dowager, she saw her experienced eyes flushed and she said with tears in her eyes: "The emperor is filial to the emperor, and the world is bright. Please rest, don't be tired."

Kangxi smiled and returned to the Empress Dowager to sit down.

Ruoyin thought she would continue watching the show again.

Who knew that the Jiufujin opposite him said diligently: "Old ancestors and granddaughter-in-law saw the Emperor Ama offering a birthday dance to you, and also wanted to present a song "Lotus Picking Dance", wishing you good luck and longevity."

"Okay, it's rare that you have this kind of heart." The Empress Dowager did not refuse the Ninth Concubine's dance.

"Then the granddaughter-in-law goes down to change his dance clothes first." Jiufujin said, then stepped down first.

When passing by Ruoyin, she also gave Ruoyin a smug and provocative look.

Ruoyin's mouth twitched, and she had the leisure and elegant dance, just danced well.

What a sage toward her, she doesn't dance!

After a moment, Jiufujin changed into a dance costume that intertwined with pink and blue.

After all, he is the royal wife, at least he must dress decently.

There will definitely be no such inconvenient dance and costumes.

Jiufujin's dance uniform is long and loose, and the hem of the skirt is gradient red.

The sleeves are dragged long and the hands are hanging on both sides, so you can reach the one on the ground.

The performer saw that she arrived and automatically stepped down.

The Nine Concubines walked to the center of the hall and delivered a blessing.

Ruoyin picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

When I looked up, I saw the Nine Concubines, who had already jumped up.

I saw Jiufujin dancing with long sleeves and twisting his willow waist.
