"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please take a seat." Mrs. Yuwen gave up the seat of honor to Dongfang Chen and took a seat next to her.
Yu Wenjin and Yun Xiyao sat on the left and right sides of Dongfang Chen, while Dongfang Xu sat at the head of the male guests' table.
"Let's all get healthy. Today is Mrs. Yuwen's birthday. Everyone, please relax and don't pay too much attention to me." Dongfang Chen's voice was like spring breeze and rain, and he sounded in a good mood.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and sat down again.
"An Fuhai, bring me my gift." Dongfang Chen waved his hand, and An Fuhai took a step forward, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read out: "By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict: Today is the sixtieth birthday of the Protector's wife, and I will give you a golden Buddha.
One, ten pairs of Ruyi jade, red coral..." Then there was a long list of gifts.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." Led by Old Madam Yuwen, everyone in the Yuwen family stood up and knelt down to express their gratitude. Of course, Old Madam Yuwen only had to bow and salute, "Everyone, please straighten up." Dongfang Chen said.
He raised his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, it's almost noon, and I have announced that the banquet will begin." Yu Wendong took a step forward and bowed to ask for instructions.
"The Protector is easy, don't worry about me." Dongfang Chen waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Wendong turned around and motioned to the butler standing at the door to start the banquet.
The butler stood at the door, raised his neck and shouted: "Let's have a banquet——"
As soon as he finished speaking, beautiful maids came in one after another holding trays and placed the meals on everyone's dining table in order.
In the corner of the hall, the sound of music came to life at the right time to add to the fun of the banquet.
After drinking for three rounds, Mrs. Yuwen suddenly leaned forward on her chair and said, "Your Majesty, the Yuwen family has received favor from the Emperor, and should have taken care of the Emperor's worries. However, I am so bold that I still want to ask the Emperor to decide on something."
Dongfang Chen looked at Mrs. Yuwen and said in a gentle tone: "Mrs. Yuwen, the Yuwen family are the pillars of the country and contribute to the governance and security of our country in the Yuan Dynasty. Your three sons are guarding the territory for me on the border and cannot come back.
I am very sorry for wishing you a birthday. If Madam Madam has any wishes, please tell me and I will definitely help you if I can."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mrs. Yuwen thanked her respectfully, and then said slowly, "I have a grandson, the eldest son of my third son Yu Wenxi, named Yu Wenbiao. He has just turned twenty years old now. I am with his father.
Guarding the territory on the border. Unfortunately, he was injured when resisting the barbarian invasion a year ago. He had a high fever and burned out his brain. His mind was damaged. Fortunately, he saved his life. I am not boasting, but this kid, although his brain is not very bright,
However, he is a down-to-earth and kind-hearted child. I and his parents have no other expectations now. We just hope to find a suitable daughter-in-law for him so that he can live a peaceful life." Mrs. Yuwen said with a sigh,
"So, I would like to ask the emperor to find a marriage for my grandson."
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the young man sitting next to Yu Wenhe. Although he was neatly dressed and had a handsome face, his eyes were obviously dull, and in this dullness, there was a faint evil aura.
Everyone couldn't help but think of the rumors about Yu Wenbiao and his son in the army: they were brave, good at fighting, and murderous. They had killed countless prisoners, which frightened the barbarians in the west.
Not to mention that this person has turned into a fool, even under normal circumstances, most nobles in the capital would not betroth their children to him. They are afraid that their daughter will die if she is not careful.
