Chapter 152: Offering Wine

Xiao Ying crouched beside the Queen Mother's legs, looking up at the Queen Mother with a bright smile, revealing two little tiger teeth, looking at the extraordinarily cute sunshine, which was simply not enough to love.

"It's still grandmother who knows that she feels distressed, and she doesn't blame me for being close to you. Mother always complained to me, saying that I knew to come to you and leave her as a mother out in the cold. But she doesn't want to think that if she has half of your love for me, I will keep her and give her up! ”

"Look at this little mouth sweet, I know how to say good things to coax my old man." The Queen Mother said with a smile, reaching out to twist his mouth.

Xiao Ying didn't hide, and pouted: "It was originally so!" Every word my grandson said was from the bottom of my heart, and if I said a lie, I would be called to thunder and thunder in the sky-"

"Ouch! What a thing to say! This poisonous oath can also be made casually? When the Queen Mother heard this, she was anxious, and she was busy clasping her hands together to make Amitabha Buddha, and muttered in her mouth: "Tong Yan Wu Ji Tong Yan Wu Ji." God, you have a lot of adults, but you don't want to worry about his children's family. ”

After finishing talking, seeing Xiao Ying with a smile on her face, she didn't know what was at stake, so she was angry and raised her hand and slapped him a few times.

Xiao Ying hurriedly pretended to beg for mercy and said: "Grandson doesn't dare anymore, don't dare anymore, grandmother, if you have a lot, spare me." ”

The grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed, and they were affectionate, but they envied many people.

But this is not something that everyone can do, how can the Queen Mother be so close and easy to please? Only those with the status of the Eighth Prince, who is both a grandson and a nephew, can do it, and the rest of the people will think about it.

The imperial concubine on the other side of the emperor saw the harmonious scene of the ancestors and grandchildren, and with a smile on her face, she smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you see that the queen mother and the little eight are more happy!" I saw that the concubine's eyes were also a little hot. ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "The concubine doesn't have to envy the mourning family, isn't the longevity and happiness of the second family also painful?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "I'm not worried about the second child, it's the third child, Cheng Tianjie ran out, and there was no one who was right, in a huge palace, there was not even a person who knew the cold and the heat, but I was worried!" I can't wait to bring him over and beat him up. ”

"Haha, Concubine Ai said ruthlessly, but when someone comes to the front, I'm afraid I won't be willing to play him with a finger, right?" The Emperor laughed loudly.

The Queen Mother said: "Speaking of which, we also have the blessing of the emperor, otherwise where can we see the shadow of the third child?" Mourning family look, it's better to point out someone to him directly, otherwise we old people don't know when we will be able to see the great-grandson he gave birth! The concubine said yes? ”

Who's to say it isn't? The concubine looked at the emperor expectantly.

The emperor smiled and said: "I think about it, but I am afraid that he will not be a bastard, and when the time comes, he will cry and the princess who gave him will recruit Lao Tzu, which will not look good." ”

Also, the third child's temperament, if he refuses, no one can help him. If you can really point him a princess, you would have pointed it out a few years ago, and you still have to wait until now?

The twisted melon is not sweet, so let's wait.

The three big bosses skipped the topic and moved on to something else.

Xiao Ying suddenly said, "Huh? How did Xiao Jiu sit at the front? Isn't his place still behind me? ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was quiet, the smile on the emperor's face faded a little, and said: "Although it is said that 'the young and the old are orderly', we should also pay attention to the 'rank and inferior', the prince is the prince of the country, one person is above ten thousand people, and his status is second only to me, Xiaoba, where do you say his position should be?" ”

Xiao Ying lowered her head, unable to speak, and the darkness in her eyes flashed.

When he raised his head again, he looked innocent and innocent again, "Father, the son is wrong." ”

The Emperor let out a faint "um". The Queen Mother came out to play a round and said: "Okay, okay, Xiaoba is a sincere child, but I was curious and asked, and you said such a big deal." ”

He turned his head and nodded at Xiao Ying's head to teach him: "In the future, you can talk with your brain, and there will be no door in your mouth, otherwise you will wait until ...... But it's not something that can be uncovered in a single sentence. ”

Wait for what? The Queen Mother vaguely brought it over, but everyone present knew it.

The well-trained palace ladies shuttled back and forth between the banquets, or poured wine, or served food, or listened to orders, like butterflies wearing flowers, quiet and orderly, beautiful and dignified.

The atmosphere of the banquet is stirred, and the next link is naturally to celebrate the birthday.

The order of the gift is also exquisite, generally from the outside to the inside, first "outsiders" and then "their own people".

That is to say, starting with the envoys of other countries, it is also good to show our Daqi's demeanor and etiquette, and the bearing of a great country!

He Guo and Xuan Guo in the west; the Kingdom of Yu and Zhuoguang in the south; Qiuyi Island and Shaoxian Island in the east; The Liangqu Kingdom and the Quicksand Kingdom in the north all sent envoys to congratulate Emperor Jianchang on his birthday.

The birthday greetings of flowers do not want to spit out like money, and all kinds of rare and rare treasures are raised at a flowing price.

The others are also ordinary, only a natural purple jade unicorn presented by the envoy of He Guo is very rare, and then there is a pastel crystal peach presented by Xuanguo to win a piece of praise from everyone.

These two things are really nothing, but the strange thing is that they are naturally formed, not acquired, and with their own good omen, they are naturally higher than other birthday gifts.

After the envoys of other countries finished their offerings, it was the turn of the princes and princes, and then the ministers.

The eunuch Bingli took the gift list and sang all kinds of treasures in turn, and when he read "a jar of purple spring wine", he paused suddenly, and suspected that he was wrong, but someone's birthday gift was a jar of wine?

Or is it from the Zhenguo Mansion? This and this are too unbelievable, right?

Purple Spring Wine, I've never heard of it, will it be better than the Imperial Wine Golden Stem Dew? Impossible, right?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if that Purple Spring Wine can be compared to the Golden Stem Dew, but just offering this jar is too thin, right? The Zhenguo Mansion won't be so poor, right?

Is there something hidden in this? Or did the Zhenguo Mansion not take the emperor's birthday gift seriously at all, and it didn't prepare for a good life, so it took such a jar of wine to make up the numbers?

Bingli eunuch Lu Zhan muttered in his heart, and everyone below naturally heard it, and they were suspicious in their hearts.

If it just passes, it's fine, and even if there are any problems, we can discuss them in private.

Someone jumped out and said, "What kind of purple spring wine is this, I haven't heard of it!" Could it be that the Zhenguo Mansion of your country is using this thing to fool Your Majesty the Emperor? Isn't that too much for you? ”

Listening to this person's tone, it was obvious that he was not from Daqi, but an envoy from a small country called Wuhuan on the northeastern border of Daqi, whose name was Qiu Liju.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the messenger from Wuhuan was too bold and presumptuous! Even if there is anything wrong with the Zhenguo Mansion, it won't be your turn to speak as a little Wuhuan envoy, right? When our Daqi is a dead man!

However, the purple spring wine is indeed unheard of and unseen, and they don't know how to say it even if they want to refute it, so some people complain about the Zhenguo Mansion that offered this purple spring wine.

Let's get some purple spring wine! Doesn't this give others an opportunity to attack their own family?

Alas, the Duke of Zhenguo is too, and he actually sent a hairy boy to congratulate him on his birthday, is it really as Qiu Liju said, not to take the emperor in his eyes?

In fact, these people have really wronged the town of Guogong.

Although the birthday gift prepared by the original Zhenguo Mansion is not very outstanding, there is nothing wrong with it, like most people, it is some precious things such as jade antiques that cannot be eaten or drunk, and its value is needless to say, and it is very passable on the surface.

Because the Zhenguo Mansion was located in Yongzhou, the men in the mansion couldn't pull away and couldn't come in person, so they sent the chief steward of the mansion to send the gifts to the capital.

The emperor also expressed his understanding and did not blame. However, a few days ago, Li Changyuan, who was the eldest prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, came to the capital, so naturally he couldn't be as sloppy as before, otherwise it would be too much to say.

Therefore, the matter of congratulating the birthday naturally fell on Li Changyuan.

And after he got the Ziquan wine from Jiang Rong, when he tasted it, he was immediately shocked by the wine, and then listened to the great prospects that Jiang Rong gave him to analyze, and asked him to help mix the Ziquan wine into the birthday ceremony, so as to take the opportunity to make a name for the Ziquan wine, and make a lot of money in the future.

When Li Changyuan heard this, he immediately introduced Jiang Rong as a confidant, thinking that she was very talented in business. And he thinks it's a good idea.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, if he just mixed Ziquan wine into the birthday ceremony, wouldn't it have to be submerged? Who would have noticed the tiny jar of purple spring wine in the middle of that large pile of gifts?

Therefore, he decided to take a risk, and with a wave of his hand, he crossed out all the birthday gifts that had been prepared and replaced them with Ziquan wine, and there was only one jar!

In this way, it is difficult for Ziquan wine not to be famous.

And the reason why he dared to do this was because he relied on the wonderful taste of Ziquan wine! He believed that as long as the emperor tasted it, he would never blame them for the Li family, and maybe he would be greatly rewarded!

No matter how much he traveled and saw a lot, he had never drunk wine like a purple spring. That's really a fairy wine! Once you taste it, you'll never forget it.

He dares to vouch for it with the head!

So, at this time, everyone was scolding the Wuhuan envoy who didn't know what to do and didn't have eyes, but Li Changyuan gave him one hundred and twenty likes in his heart.

All he was waiting for someone to question it! There is a reversal when there is doubt! The more fiercely those people scold in private now, the more surprised they will be later!

He waited to see their funny expressions when their eyes dropped to the ground later, and it must have been very funny!

In the face of everyone's questions, condemnation, complaints, and other eyes, Li Changyuan got up from his seat unhurriedly, came to the front, and knocked on the emperor, "The grass people have seen the emperor." ”

The emperor stared at it and said with a light smile: "This is the eldest son of the Zhenguo family, right?" I saw you when you were a kid. Get up. (To be continued.) )
