Without wanting to say anything, she just waved her hand and told him to go down quickly. The imperial concubine standing by felt refreshed after watching all this excitement.

Especially when she saw Bai Shuran's distraught look, she felt that the depression that had been in her chest for more than ten years was instantly relieved a lot.

"Ayi, are you happy?"

The imperial concubine glanced at him coquettishly, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about!"

"She is my second sister. How can I be happy if she is not good?"

Xie Yunci looked at the uncontrollable smile on the imperial concubine's face, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Well, if the smile on the imperial concubine's face was not so obvious, I almost believed it."

Bai Shuyi's smile froze, and he reached out to touch his face, "Your Majesty, is it really that obvious?"

Xie Yunci did not answer. Instead, he took out the mirror Bai Shuyi had given him and held it against her face, using his sleeve to cover himself.

"You don't believe what I say, so please see for yourself."

A pair of beautiful lips appeared in the small mirror, with red rouge on them, and the lips were now upturned.

Bai Shuyi pulled the corners of his mouth downwards, hmm, it still doesn't seem to be working.

"emperor!"

Xie Yunci put the mirror away and said, "It's okay. I don't know who dares to say that. Today is my birthday. What's wrong with the Imperial Concubine being happy?"

Bai Shuyi nodded, "Yes, today is the emperor's birthday. I am happy for the emperor. Your Majesty, I offer you a glass of wine."

"it is good."

Pei Yu took Shen Li back to her seat, and Lu Jing returned to his previous seat.

The Shen family, who had been worried all night, finally felt relieved to see the matter come to an end.

After this farce was over, music started playing again in the hall, and soon another dancer came on stage to dance.

When the banquet was halfway through, the soldiers came forward. He had already reviewed their military achievements and had already prepared corresponding official positions and rewards.

"Today is my birthday, and I should celebrate with the heavens. With the great victory in the north, I have decided to reward the three armies, grant amnesty to the whole world, and celebrate with the whole heaven."

Everyone in the hall knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Long live the Emperor."

After these officers were conferred titles, some ladies in the venue could not sit still and some changed their clothes or walked around the garden.

Although it was night time, it was stuffy and hot sitting in the hall, so they had to go out and get some fresh air.

Shen Li and Pei Yu also went out. The Shen family was afraid of offending the nobles by going out, so they stayed in their seats.

Shen Jingyuan was conferred the title of the third-rank General Zhenbei this time. The emperor also awarded him a general's mansion. There were many other rewards that came down along with the imperial edict. It could be said that he had risen to fame overnight.

Among all the generals who were awarded titles, Shen Jingyuan was the most conspicuous, because he was a commoner before, but now he was awarded the third rank. The class leap was so huge that it was astonishing.

When they saw him walking towards the Shen family, and thought of him having the same surname as Shen, everyone had a guess in their minds.

They didn't need to go over to listen, they just needed to look at the expression of the person next to them to understand that this General Zhenbei and the Princess of Hui'an County were a family.

At the same time, Lu Yan thought sinisterly in his heart, wondering whether he earned the title of General Zhenbei by himself or it was given by the King of Jingnan.

But when his gaze fell on the tall Shen Jingyuan, it almost disappeared. However, there are always one or two people with special personalities.

"Your Majesty, there are so many generals being conferred titles this time. I used to be a little bored sitting in this hall. I wonder if we can have some sparring with each other."

The person who spoke was also a general, quite young, named He Yu, a member of a clan, and the deputy general of the Yulin Army. He was considered a close confidant of the emperor.

"allow."

He Yu had a clear goal. He walked directly to Shen Jingyuan and said, "General Zhenbei, I want to have a competition with you. Do you agree?"

Shen Jingyuan stood up and said, "You can spar with me, but it's inevitable that you'll get hurt. If you get hurt..."

He Yu laughed and interrupted: "If I get hurt during the sparring, I will never hold you responsible."

"Okay, once you say something, it's hard to catch up."

"General Zhenbei, please."

The two stood in the hall, Shen Jingyuan looked at He Yu, "What's your name?"

He Yu clasped his fists and said, "Your subordinate He Yu, the deputy general of the Imperial Guard."

After some polite exchanges, the two men started fighting. Because today was the emperor's birthday, they tacitly chose not to use weapons.

The two people thought that fists could better prove a person's strength without using weapons.

"Oh!"

The sound of punches hitting flesh was heard with muffled groans. The hall was very quiet. Everyone was watching the fight, wanting to know who would win.

Everyone in the capital knows He Yu, and it goes without saying that he has a lot of abilities. If he didn't have any abilities, he wouldn't have been able to become the deputy general of the Imperial Guards.

As for Shen Jingyuan, it is said that he has made great achievements in the north, but they do not know whether it is true or not. Today is the best time to test it.

Shen Jingyuan was worthy of being a warrior who had fought on the battlefield. It didn’t take long for him to defeat He Yu.

He Yu was able to fight him back and forth at the beginning, but after a cup of tea, he gradually began to lose.

Finally, Shen Jingyuan punched him back several steps. He Yu clasped his hands together and said, "General Shen is very capable. I admire you."

Shen Jingyuan clasped his hands together and said, "I admit it."

"Your Majesty, He Yu was no match for General Shen. I was too reckless."

Xie Yunci waved his hand, "Hey, it's not a big deal. You don't know, this General Shen, he has natural supernatural power, it's normal that you can't beat him."

"Born with supernatural powers? I see."

He said that during the fight just now, Shen Jingyuan seemed to have endless strength. If he was born with supernatural powers, then it would make sense.

"Okay, you can go down now," Xie Yunci glanced around the hall, "Who else wants to challenge the General Zhenbei?"

Bai Shuzhen stood up and bowed to Xie Yunci, who was sitting at the top of the table. "I have only heard of natural supernatural powers in storybooks, but have never seen one in person. Today I am fortunate to see it for the first time."

Just now, when he saw his second sister being humiliated, if this wasn't the imperial palace, he would have wanted to go up and beat her up, although there was a high probability that he would not be able to do so.

Xie Yunci: "You...then go ahead."

In fact, he wanted to say that you couldn't beat him, but seeing that boy's unconvinced look, let it go, let him get beaten up, the imperial concubine might feel better.

Bai Shuzhen walked towards Shen Jingyuan, "General, please give me some advice."

Soon, the two started fighting. Bai Shuzhen was one of the famous playboys in the capital. He was uneducated and knew a little bit of martial arts. Shen Jingyuan defeated him with only five moves.

In fact, Shen Jingyuan could defeat him with just one move with his mediocre kung fu. The reason why he used five moves was to save his face.
