Everyone got up, bowed deeply to the high platform again, and shouted: "Ministers wish the Queen Mother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan!"

Lu Qishan smiled, raised his hand to everyone in the audience, and said: "Thank you Aiqing, the mourning family is dedicated to the Buddha and likes to be quiet, and I didn't want to work so hard to move the people." But the emperor and the queen are filial, and the mourning family can't bear to live up. In this case, let's take this opportunity to get together and have a good time. You don't have to be formal, so please come to your seat. ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager!" everyone thanked each other, gave in with their colleagues, and returned to their seats.

Lin Wan also returned to his seat in a regular manner, quietly watching the wonderful performances of everyone on and off the stage.

First, the song and dance opened, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and then the envoys of the four countries presented gifts.

The birthday ceremony of the Nanyue Kingdom is a half-human-tall golden Buddha statue with a goose egg-sized ruby on its chest. When the envoy unveiled the red silk cloth, it suddenly shone brightly, and the golden light was dazzling, and everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes and marvel.

Lu Qishan was very happy, looking at the Buddha statue's eyes also shining with golden red light, he thanked Lan Ziheng, the prince of Nanyue, and ordered someone to carry the congratulatory gift to the apse, so as not to disturb the Buddha.

The congratulatory gift presented by Ximen Yuqing is the Dongzhu bracelet processed by Liying Xiangge. Although this congratulatory gift did not seem to be as grand as that of Nanyue, when Ximen Yuqing opened the wooden box containing the East Pearls, the clear glow of the twelve East Pearls emitted like moonlight immediately stunned all the women present, including Lu Qishan.

No woman can withstand such a temptation, except for Lin Wan.

Those of you may have seen such a big golden Buddha statue and such a big ruby, but no one has ever seen such a big and so large Dongzhu. One Dongzhu is already sky-high, and twelve Dongzhu are also so big and so round, but they are rare and unique in the world.

Lu Qishan's eyes widened and she looked at the Dongzhu bracelet in the box, so shocked that she couldn't even say a word of thanks.

Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, covered the box in his hand, and handed it to the envoy beside him, who respectfully sent the box to the stage and personally delivered it to Lu Qishan.

Lu Qishan's hand that took the box trembled a little, lifted the lid of the box, and glanced at the Dongzhu again, before reluctantly handing the box to the Golden Palm Palace beside him, and thanked Ximen Yuqing: "Prince Ximen's gift is too heavy, which makes the mourning family very shocked, and in the future, Prince Ximen will get married, and I don't know how to return the gift." ”

Ximen Yuqing didn't care, smiled slightly, and said: "Queen Mother, before the younger generation came to the Great Sealing Kingdom, she had never been interested in any woman, and there will be no more women next to her who can enter the eyes of the younger generation in the future." The younger generation only loves the princess Wanxin of your country all his life, if the princess Wanxin is the crown princess, what more can the younger generation ask for?"

Lu Qishan was stunned, although she always knew that Ximen Yuqing liked Lin Wan'er, she didn't expect that Ximen Yuqing would confess to Lin Wan'er in front of so many people on such an occasion and propose marriage to the Great Feudal Kingdom. Lu Qishan turned her head to look at Zhou Changan with some embarrassment, and handed over this problem to Zhou Changan to deal with.

Zhou Changan laughed and said, "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is so good! Ximen Xian's nephew is so infatuated with Wan'er, and I am also happy for you." However, since your father has decided to hold a concubine selection feast in the imperial city of Xiling Kingdom next year, then this matter will be discussed after the concubine selection feast is over. ”

Ximen Yuqing didn't say anything more, smiled and nodded, and retreated to his seat and sat down. raised a pair of clear eyes to look at Lin Wan, and the gentleness in his eyes was enough to make all the women present jealous.

And Lin Wan just looked back at Ximen Yuqing faintly, there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, and no one could see through it.

Next, the Dongli Kingdom and the Northern Chen Kingdom also offered their own gifts, and the birthday gift offered by the Dongli Kingdom is a beautifully carved Yunan Mountain, which means auspiciousness and is priceless. Bei Chen Guo presented eight bloody horses with pure blood, and the generals present all had their eyes shining.

Zhou Changan and Lu Qishan were very satisfied with the congratulatory gifts of the four countries, and the atmosphere at the scene was also very warm, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the luncheon, a new round of birthday greetings began. The sons and ladies of various provinces also came to the stage to present gifts, of course, the next birthday gifts are not so expensive, but pay more attention to whether there is something new, more like a talent show.

Some dance, some sing, some play the harp, some paint, some recite poems, some offer embroidery, some offer recipes, and some tell stories and jokes.

Lin Wan quietly watched the performance of everyone in the audience, and her mood gradually relaxed, until several princes and princesses presented birthday gifts, she remembered that she had not prepared anything.

From a distance, seeing Ning Wuwu painting offstage, Lin Wan slowly stood up, walked to Ning Wuwu's side, looked at the painting in front of her, and couldn't help frowning secretly. She originally wanted to write a poem for Ning Wuwu's painting, but she didn't expect Ning Wuwu to paint a portrait of Lu Qishan when she was young, which poem did she want to inscribe?

The woman in Ning Wuwu's painting is beautiful and noble, it is Lu Qishan's appearance when she was young, but it is her current demeanor and temperament, that kind of high-minded, graceful and calm look, which makes Lin Wandu secretly applaud Ning Wuwu.

In the center of the main hall was Qin Lingru dancing, the scar on her forehead was no longer visible, and a flying dance was vividly danced, all in one go.

After a dance, Ning Wuwu's painting was finished. Lu Qishan praised Qin Lingru a few words, and Qin Lingru happily retreated to her seat.

Gonggong Liu walked to the center of the venue and said loudly: "The Queen Mother, the painting of the county lord has been completed, please take a look at the Queen Mother." After speaking, he motioned to the palace maid beside him to pick up Ning Wuwu's painting and show it in front of everyone.

Lu Qishan raised her eyes to look at the painting under the stage, although she was far away, she could still see that the beautiful woman in the painting was herself. Lu Qishan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and a beautiful smile that was indistinguishable from the woman in the painting unconsciously appeared on her face.

The hall gradually fell silent, and everyone craned their necks and looked curiously at the paintings held up by the palace maids in the field.

With a smile, Gonggong Liu instructed the two palace maids to hold the paintings aloft and go around the arena to show the paintings to the people on the high platform and the surrounding stands.

Everywhere the painting passed, the sound of amazement was endless. Everyone is praising the peerless elegance of the Queen Mother, and then they will look at Ning Wuwu in the field, the strange woman who is dressed in Tsinghua, talented, quiet and tranquil.

Waiting for the palace maid to put the painting back on the table, Lin Wan slowly stepped forward, smiled, and said crisply: "Imperial grandmother, Wan'er doesn't have any congratulatory gifts that she can handle, I want to inscribe a few words for Sister Wusso's paintings, which can be regarded as touching the light of Sister Wushou, please ask the imperial grandmother to agree." ”
