Jianyu walked onto the palace road leading to the Wanshou Palace. The road was decorated with lights and colorful decorations on both sides, and the bright red felt went straight to the Wanshou Palace. Mingruo and Si Haochen came a little early today, and there were many royal relatives and courtiers accompanying them.
The family members came here, and the Wanshou Hall was very busy for a while.
As soon as Prince Yun's chariot arrived, everyone knelt down and worshiped.
Si Haochen raised his hand: "No courtesy."
Ming Ruo pushed Si Haochen into the Longevity Hall. Everywhere here was magnificent and magnificent. There was a Kowloon throne on the high platform, and the tables in front were covered with bright yellow brocade table surrounds. Ming Ruo didn't know what the emperor's aesthetics were.
This bright yellow background is paired with colorful embroidery thread, no matter what pattern is embroidered, it looks very tacky.
The seats at today's birthday banquet are the same as those at the Yuexi Palace Banquet. Opposite them is still the prince. Sitting next to the prince is a beautiful woman wearing a peach red palace dress, with a pair of lovely peach blossom eyes.
Mingruo tilted her head and asked Aunt Dong: "Is that the Crown Princess?"
Aunt Dong whispered in Mingruo's ear: "That's Xu Liangdi. The princess had a difficult delivery at the beginning of the year, leaving one dead and two dead..."
"Oh." Mingruo nodded.
The palace maid dressed in pink began to serve the dishes - four courses of fresh fruits, four courses of side dishes, and twenty-eight courses of various kinds of preserves. Although they were all small dishes, the presentation was very particular.
The prince walked up to Si Haochen and said, "Well, Uncle Emperor."
"Yeah." Si Haochen responded in a dignified manner.
"Xi wanted to visit the palace early in the morning, but was afraid of disturbing the emperor's uncle's recuperation." The prince was very respectful to the emperor's uncle Yun.
"The prince is interested."
The prince was chatting with Si Haochen, attracting countless glances. However, Mingruo felt that a pair of eyes fell on him, as sharp as if they were real. Mingruo looked up and met the deep eyes of the third prince Si Yu.
Mingruo's eyes were calm and calm, and she didn't immediately look away from the third prince.
The third prince's eyes became more probing, and he realized that this was Princess Qinghuang whose engagement he had broken off. In fact, breaking off the engagement was not his original intention, but at that time the female official of the palace went to visit the post house and said that Princess Qinghuang looked ugly. He was drunk at the time,
I casually said - don't marry an ugly girl!
As luck would have it, his father sent Zhang Jinliang to convey the order, asking him to go to Xuanzhou to supervise water conservancy. When Zhang Jinliang heard that he did not want to marry Princess Qinghuang, he immediately reported it to his father.
Unexpectedly, his father not only did not punish him, but also canceled his wedding to Princess Qinghuang, saying that he could not wrong his son.
At the time, he was just confused, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that most of the coincidences in this world were calculations behind masks.
He lost the help of Nan Rong and Jing Guogong, so he could only comfort himself - at least he didn't have to bring an ugly princess to the palace banquet like Prince Yun. That Princess Qinghuang's face was covered with gauze, she was really ugly...
I heard the eunuch's shrill voice saying: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here."
The hall suddenly became quiet, and the emperor and empress were seen walking slowly. Everyone knelt down and worshiped. It was not until the emperor and empress sat on the high platform that Zhang Jinliang shouted in a high voice: "Ping Sheng."
Everyone sat down again, and the palace maid started the second round of serving dishes - twenty cold dishes, twenty hot dishes, twenty-nine snacks and pasta, and four soups. Aunt Dong said that the various dishes for the emperor's birthday banquet
There are 109 styles in total, which means longevity and good fortune.
It takes a lot of time to prepare all these dishes, so those who have prepared rare birthday gifts will present them at this time.
The prince took the lead to step forward, and two powerful eunuchs carried the wooden box: "My son, I present a gold-plated and purple-jade brocade cauldron of longevity. I wish my father a long life."
"Okay." Emperor Danxu nodded with satisfaction.
After that, several princes and ministers presented birthday gifts, all of which were rare treasures. At this time, Zhang Jinliang came to Emperor Danxu holding a long carved red sandalwood box and said loudly: "Prince Yun presented the map of rivers and mountains.
One piece."
"Huh? Open it and let me take a look." Emperor Danxu said with a smile.
Mingruo was very surprised. Qin Mo sent this painting to him early in the morning. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be displayed here. Could it be that the emperor felt that this birthday gift was too light and was dissatisfied, so he deliberately took it out to slap Si Haochen in the face?
Mingruo really thought wrong this time. Emperor Danxu praised while watching: "The Nine Emperor Brothers are very skilled in painting. They are really thoughtful."
In Emperor Danxu's opinion, Prince Yun's painting in person was a sign of goodwill. And he came to congratulate him on his birthday early today... This year is the most satisfying birthday he has ever had.
The third prince left his seat and came to present a gold bar on a tray: "My son discovered a gold mine when he was supervising water conservancy in Xuanzhou. The craftsmen dug for several months and now the veins have been found. I specially offer the gold mine to my father."
Your Majesty, may my father live as long as Heaven."
Zhang Jinliang quickly took the tray and brought it to Emperor Danxu.
"Yu'er, this gift deeply touches my heart." It was rare for the emperor to show a good face to the third prince.
In the hall full of people, you could almost hear the drop of a pin - the third prince actually presented a gold mine. The gifts given by everyone combined were not worth as much as the gold mine.
At this time, another announcement from the eunuch came from outside the palace: "Prince Liejun of Beichi led an envoy to pay an audience."
Generally speaking, only envoys from other countries would come to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Danxu. This year was not the birthday of Emperor Danxu, and no envoys from other countries were sent, so the Beichi delegation seemed particularly unexpected.
"Xuan." Emperor Danxu said in a deep voice.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Lie entered the hall with several envoys. Their clothes were very exotic—wearing bright brocade fur robes and fur hats made of animal skins. All of them were tall and strong, very burly.
.
Prince Liejun beat his chest with his right hand: "Beichi offers ten Qingling Pills, ten Xuerong Pills, and ten Qiwei Pills. I wish His Majesty Donghuan a long life."
"Okay, okay." Emperor Danxu was very satisfied with this birthday gift and asked the palace servants to lead the envoy to his seat.
Everyone thinks that these pills are hard to find, and the Beichi mission is really generous. Ming Ruo curled his lips, for such a big country to give thirty pills as gifts, this level of stinginess is no less stingy than mine.
Mingruo asked Si Haochen in a low voice: "Do you have Qiwei Dan?"
Si Haochen took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Mingruo: "Here."
"..." Ming Ruo was stunned. Could it be that Si Haochen also had a medical system? Or if she said Qi Wei Dan, he would be able to take it out.
"This medicine can kill you." Before, there was no pill like Mingruo gave him to take by mouth. When he got sick, he relied on Qiwei Dan to stay alive until the doctor came to treat him.
"Oh." Mingruo poured out an agate-shaped pill, rolled it with his fingers, pretended to put it in his sleeve pocket, but actually threw it into the system to analyze the ingredients, "I'll go back and make some for you to eat and play with."
The main ingredient in this Qiwei Dan is Salvia miltiorrhiza, which is suitable for Si Haochen to eat.
"Haha." Si Haochen felt that her princess was very powerful and domineering. She would be so happy if she got ten pills. She let herself eat it for fun. Then she thought about the Yiling Pill that was a hundred times more powerful than the Qingling Pill.
, and the secret guard had a few Snow Velvet Pills in hand, with a slight smile on his lips.
Prince Lie came to the table but did not sit down: "I, Beichi, have also prepared a program to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty Donghuan.
