Chapter 809: Congratulatory Gift
When a person falls into a demonic obstacle, it is a matter of changing his mind.
But once that layer of magic barrier was broken, it was only in an instant.
Cui Yingjia held her son in her hands, thinking about everything that had just happened in her mind.
The beautiful music of the silk and bamboo orchestra gradually sounded, and the emperor on the high platform had taken the lead in raising the golden cup in his hand to show the opening of the feast.
The ministers and ladies got up one after another, and the emperor toasted together, congratulating the queen on her birthday, and the long voice of longevity was like the waves of the sea, sweeping around Cui Yingjia, and she also bowed down with everyone.
When he looked up again, the Emperor had turned and sat with his Empress.
The spring sun, brilliant and soft, spread down from behind the faint clouds, the entire Guangyuan Hall in front of the golden light, but it is not as bright as the light in the emperor's eyes.
When Cui Yingjia looked over, she happened to be able to see the brilliance.
He was talking to Bai Chenghuan about something, his eyes were bright, his smile was gentle, and it was completely different from the power that seemed to be able to destroy people's courage when he was about to rain down the wrath of thunder.
Such a man, who is also an emperor, only has his beloved woman in his eyes.
No wonder the eldest sister Cui Yinghua went to Yuzhou to meet without permission, and she was desperate, even if she paid the price of her life in the end.
Cui Yingjia didn't look at Bai Chenghuan again, so she lowered her head and stopped thinking about these things-
Being loved by such a man, Bai Chenghuan will never have any thoughts about King Jin.
And his husband, as a vassal king, is nothing and is almost as simple as a fool, but as a husband, he treats himself very well.
Cui Yingjia turned her head to look at King Jin on the other side of the crowd, but the eyes of the two collided.
Jin Dynasty smiled at her slightly, the meaning of comfort was self-evident, and the smile was handsome, just like the noble young man she had taken a look at the beginning.
Cui Yingjia was stunned for a moment, and there was a moist illusion in her eyes.
It is not the joy of reunion after a long absence, but there is the warmth of the years.
If she had come to the capital earlier, she would probably have discovered earlier that the way her husband looked at her was fundamentally different from Bai Chenghuan's eyes, right?
Halfway through the banquet, singing and dancing were in full swing, and the officials and female dependents who were originally a little restrained gradually let go of their courage and began to congratulate the queen on her birthday in turn, in order to please the emperor and queen.
At the time of the emperor's longevity, the emperor said that he wanted to be frugal and thrifty, and his own longevity festival was very shabby, and the minister naturally did not dare to send any rare treasures indiscriminately, lest the emperor be disgusted.
But at this time, the queen is willing to do it generously, and the ministers finally dare to give gifts generously.
For example, the upstart of Jinxiang Houfu, who is not wealthy, gives ordinary jewelry, calligraphy and painting, jade Buddha, Ruyi and other decent birthday gifts.
And the Weiguo Mansion and the Anxi County Palace, these generations of distinguished noble families, there are really a few rare treasures.
At the beginning, Bai Chenghuan used Wei Wan to get back the dowry from Xiao Shaoyun, and the Duchess of Weiguo later asked Bai Chenghuan to move out.
But Bai Chenghuan was already uneasy about occupying everything that shouldn't belong to him at that time, where could he ask for those things again, and he refused to ask for them after becoming the queen.
Duchess Weiguo didn't say much, and after discussing with Weiguo Gong, she directly picked out the best of them, and when the emperor's eldest son was full moon and 100 days, she sent a part to the palace first, only saying that it was a congratulatory gift to the emperor's eldest son, Bai Chenghuan didn't even have room to refuse.
Today is her birthday, and the Weiguo Mansion gave out the top coral trees, jade screens, vases and pearls in the dowry as birthday gifts, and they were sent in along with the birthday gifts of the ministers.
When Bai Chenghuan heard the chamberlain read the gift list of the Weiguo Mansion, his eyes were already full of shock, and when he heard them one by one, he couldn't say a word of refusal-
In front of so many courtiers, if she refused to accept the congratulatory gifts from the Weiguo Mansion, how many people would have bad speculation?
Seeing that she did not refuse, Wei Guogong and Duchess Wei Guo glanced at each other, and both went out to celebrate her birthday, but they were relieved in their hearts.
If she hadn't known those cruel truths, Duchess Weiguo wouldn't have gone around with her daughter.
But in the past, she only cared about being angry that this daughter was not her own, but she never thought about whether this daughter would also feel that she was not her biological mother and became increasingly estranged.
Until her son learned the news of her reconciliation with Cheng Huan, he cautiously asked her in the letter whether Cheng Huan was alienated from the Guogong Mansion.
Duchess Weiguo suddenly felt very sad in her heart, not only for herself, but also for Cheng Huan.
At Kitayama Temple, she must be very sad to say such a decisive thing by herself, right?
But when she appeared in front of her, she didn't say a word of blame, and reconciled with her so easily, still loving her and admiring her, as if nothing had happened in between.
With such a daughter, how can she not feel guilty, how can she not do everything she can to make up for her?
Bai Chenghuan was a little far away from where Duchess Weiguo was standing, and she couldn't see the look in her mother's own eyes, but she still stood up, bowed slightly, and saluted Duchess Weiguo.
They worked hard to raise her, and after she came back from the dead, planned for her at any cost, and even knew that she was not her own, they could finally treat her like this, Bai Chenghuan felt that all words were too weak.
The ministers were in an uproar -
As a queen, how can she salute a subordinate and a female dependent at her own banquet? Even if this person is her stepmother, this is not in accordance with the rules!
But no one dares to speak out at this time to disrupt today's atmosphere, and can only be shocked in their hearts that the honor of the Weiguo Mansion can come to this!
Only the princess of Anxi County's eyelids jumped, and carefully gave the king of Anxi County a look.
The king of Anxi County took advantage of the fact that others came forward to celebrate his birthday, and when the scene was a little chaotic, he walked to a secluded corner with the princess of Anxi County and spoke:
"What's going on?"
Princess Anxijun's expression was very complicated:
"These birthday gifts of the Weiguo Mansion, others don't know much, when the concubine took care of the marriage of the Marquis of Xihai, she personally handled it - this is simply what was on the dowry list of Empress Xiaoyuan!"
The king of Anxi County already had doubts about the relationship between the queen and the Weiguo Mansion in his heart, and when he heard his wife say this, his heart was also skipping:
"What does the Weiguo Mansion mean, do they mean that they want to love the queen mother as if they were the queen of filial piety, or do they ......?"
Or is there any relationship between the queen mother and the queen of Xiaoyuan?!
This thought flashed through the mind of King Anxi, and he immediately changed his face and whispered:
"Quick, quickly withdraw our birthday gift!"
If there is really any origin, then this birthday gift is afraid to be bad!
Before the princess of Anxi County could ask why, she heard the voice of the chamberlain on the high platform:
"Anxi County Palace, present twelve fluorite painting screens!"
