Chapter 270 The whole city is full of fireworks for you (9)
"Every year for your birthday, my mother boiled red eggs for you...but you never got to eat them." Speaking of this, Jiang's voice was choked up, "It's better now, and my mother can finally celebrate your birthday."
.”
Looking at Jiang, Yu Lan's eyes were a little red.
"mother……"
He reached out and touched his daughter's head, "Mom, I'll peel an egg for you."
Yu Lan nodded, "Well..."
No matter how old you are, you will always be a child in the eyes of your parents.
"Don't stand, sit here."
"good……"
Sitting next to Yu Lan, Jiang picked up the egg, knocked it on the table, and began to peel the shell. Soon the red shell was peeled off, revealing the white egg, which was soft and bouncy and still hot.
"Here, eat it while it's hot." Jiang handed the peeled eggs to Yu Lan.
"Thank you, mother."
He reached out and took it, put it to his mouth and took a bite.
It tastes pretty good.
This is the egg that her mother boiled, just like in the memory. Eating one is so warm that it makes people want to cry.
"Is it tasty?"
Yu Lan nodded, "Yeah, it's delicious."
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded, "Mom, if I peel another one for you, you will eat a pair of red eggs. In pairs, you will have more children, more blessings, and peace and security."
Seeing that Yu Lan had eaten half an egg, Osmanthus fragrans, who was waiting beside her, was very discerning and got her a glass of boiled water. The water was warm, not hot, and just right to drink.
"Your Majesty, drink some water."
"Thank you Osmanthus."
You need to drink water when eating hard-boiled eggs, otherwise you will easily choke. Taking the water handed over by Osmanthus fragrans, Yu Lan saw the bottom in a few sips.
Passing the cup back, Yu Lan said, "Pour me another cup."
Osmanthus: "Yes, empress."
"Eat slowly and don't choke."
"I know, mother..."
…
The birthday banquet was held in the evening.
Taking advantage of the time, civil and military officials and their families walked into the palace one after another with birthday gifts, and then presented them with the prepared gifts.
There are many gifts, and people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are responsible for collecting and registering them. Afterwards, these things will be counted and sent to Yulan Palace.
As long as someone has given a gift, after the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs registers it, he will loudly say, "What did Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so give to wish the empress a happy birthday."
Until, the hall was full of seats.
"The Emperor and the Queen Mother have arrived..."
"The Dowager Empress has arrived..."
"Princess Zhaohua, Princess Linjia are here..."
Amidst the long series of announcements from the eunuchs, the palace instantly became quiet.
"The Emperor has arrived..."
"Concubine Chen has arrived..."
Until they saw the emperor's figure, everyone present saluted in unison.
"Join the emperor, long live my emperor..."
Zhao Chengji led Yu Lan to the main seat and sat down before raising his hand to signal.
"My dear friends, no courtesy is required. Today is Concubine Chen's birthday. I am hosting a banquet here to celebrate her birthday. My dear friends, you don't need to be polite. Just feel free to do as you like."
"Thank you, long live the emperor..."
It's said that it's arbitrary, but there are differences between kings and ministers. How dare they do it? It's really arbitrary.
Since it is a birthday party, someone must take the lead in sending blessings.
"Today is your queen's birthday, I wish you a happy birthday."
Someone took the lead, and everyone present bowed down and saluted.
"I wish you a happy birthday, good luck, and many children and blessings..."
In the past, Yu Lan might have had stage fright when meeting so many high-status people. But now she didn't feel that way at all. Even when facing those civil and military officials, ladies and ladies, she felt very calm inside.
Having been with the emperor for a long time, Yu Lan has already adapted to his identity.
"My lords and madam, please take a seat."
"Thank you, empress..."
Seeing everyone sit down, Yu Lan smiled lightly and said softly: "Today is my birthday. Your Majesty hosted a banquet to celebrate my birthday. Thank you all for coming to attend my birthday banquet."
Having said this, Yu Lan turned to look at the man sitting next to him and smiled at him tenderly. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for celebrating my concubine's birthday."
After looking at her, Zhao Chengji held her hand and said, "As long as my beloved concubine is happy."
At the banquet, Zhao Chengji and Yu Lan, who were sitting in the main seats, looked at each other and smiled. Even a blind person could see that Concubine Chen had a deep relationship with the emperor.
It's true that they came to attend the palace banquet, but looking at the interaction between the emperor and Concubine Chen, they just felt that they were being shown off inexplicably.
The banquet begins.
Song and dance performances, fine wines and delicacies are all common at palace banquets.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.
Seeing that the wine was almost gone, Zhao Chengji put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "I have asked people to prepare ten thousand sky lanterns to pray for Concubine Chen. If you are interested, you can go out and have a look."
Tens of thousands of sky lanterns are used to pray for blessings.
Not only everyone, but also Yu Lan was shocked.
Turning to look at the father of the child beside him, Yu Lan didn't know what to say for a moment.
This, man.
"His Majesty……"
Zhao Chengji turned sideways and stretched out his hand towards her.
"I'll take you to see it."
Thousands of words came to her lips, but she just hummed softly. Because no matter how many words she said, she couldn't express her current mood.
Yu Lan raised her hand and placed it in his palm.
Holding her hand, Zhao Chengji helped her stand up.
"Come on, slow down."
Taking her waist, Zhao Chengji led her out of the hall. Behind him were the civil and military officials who came to attend the banquet, and the ladies.
This night, they were destined to lose sleep.
At this time, the snow outside has not yet melted. At first glance, it is completely white, and you can see the road clearly even at night.
Perhaps as if he had received an order, after Zhao Chengji took Yu Lan out of the hall, sky lanterns slowly rose up one after another and floated into the sky.
"Look..."
"So many sky lanterns..."
At night, the lit sky lanterns slowly floated towards the top of the palace, slowly, one after another, one after another, more and more. In less than a moment, the entire sky above the palace was filled with sky lanterns that were lit and released.
, it should be said that sky lanterns can be seen flying over the entire imperial city.
Thousands of mountains, gathered together.
"Look, there are words on those lamps."
Hearing the voice, Yu Lan raised his head and glanced. There was only one sentence written on it, 'Happy birthday, my beloved concubine.'
Such a scene.
"What a nice view……"
Yes, it's beautiful.
Sky lanterns are for blessing.
Tens of thousands of sky lanterns were released simultaneously, and the scene was quite spectacular. Even Yu Lan could feel his heart beating.
"Like it?"
A man's deep voice came to my ears.
Look up at the sky lanterns praying for blessings.
"like."
It's just too exaggerated.
Zhao Chengji nodded, "As long as you like it, these lights are put up by the people in the city. I ask all the people to pray for you. I hope that you and the child in your belly will be safe and healthy."
Yu Lan's eyes were slightly hot, and she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
