The days were spent in Xiahou Yi's busy preparation for the dowry ceremony, and Lan Qiduo cleaned up the internal affairs of the princess's mansion, and soon the people of the entire Daqi ushered in Emperor Kangtai's birthday.

Next year is the 50th birthday of Emperor Kangtai, as the old saying goes, to celebrate the birthday of the elderly, pay attention to "over nine but ten", "nine" and "long" homonym, there is a long auspicious meaning, is a symbol of longevity; And "ten" and "passing" homonym, a little unlucky, so most of the old people live a year in advance, and there is also a saying of "eight or nine do not leave ten", which is also taken from the auspicious saying of "not leaving". The most important thing is that Buddhism pays attention to "the moon is full, and the extremes of things must be reversed", and "ten" is the meaning of the end, so naturally it is not given a full life.

The nineteenth year of Kangtai coincided with the forty-ninth birthday of Emperor Kangtai, and this year, Xiahou Yi frequently sent back good news, and later captured Chuck Gansheng in one fell swoop, and Emperor Kangtai was naturally happy! Although there was a rebel in the middle, it didn't make a big mistake to Daqi's Jiangshan Sheji, which can be regarded as a comfort.

Now his own Xiaojiu will get married next year, and when the time comes, he will be really like a lonely family except for his little grandson, and this birthday must be celebrated from all directions! This time next year, her good daughter will be someone else's! The water spilled by the married daughter, Emperor Kangtai is bitter just thinking about it.

The people from the Ministry of Rites came in and were so tired that they couldn't relax a little bit, this is from all over the world to congratulate! At that time, if there is a little mistake, it will be a loss of face for Daqi, but they are all literati, and at the same time have machismo, they can't lose face in front of outsiders if they lose face in front of anyone, and some things can be solved behind closed doors by themselves, but if outsiders are involved, it will be difficult to obey!

On the birthday of Emperor Kangtai, the first to go to the Taiji Hall to worship are the relatives of the emperor, which is a vast team of hundreds of people, and the people of the small country of Fanbang are waiting for the second group to meet in the back.

Some of them haven't arrived at the Daqi Palace yet, they just feel that Daqi is really rich and luxurious, only one hall is bigger than their entire palace, and is the ground paved with gold bricks, so it is splendid? Even the clothes worn by the little maids who serve seem to be worn only by the nobles of their country! Someone started the idea of marriage!

But where is the current Great Qi that was attacked by the dog Rong during the previous emperor's period, Emperor Kangtai only said: "Yunying is unmarried, only a woman has one ear!" I am very pitiful, and I am reluctant to marry far away! ”

After hearing this, others had no choice but to give up, and in addition to Lan Qiduo presenting a dress that he had made with his own hands for more than a year, Kang Taidi's sadness reached its peak! Think about what better reward could there be for a daughter at this time than a dowry? With a wave of his hand, in the name of "Ninth Princess's Filial Piety is Commendable", the reward spread to the princess's mansion like a cloud!

Let those children who spent a lot of money to get some elixir, fire trees, silver flowers, coral trees, and purebred sweat and blood horses of the Western Regions Flame Mountain are simply depressed! After working for a long time, I know that this dress is so popular, it is better to learn to make clothes one by one!

But no matter how sour their hearts were, they couldn't help it, among them, the eighth princess Lan Mei was the most indignant: "My father always says that he treats everyone equally, but in fact, I don't know where my heart is biased, why is it that only Xiao Jiu is the most valued by him?" ”

"Yunyan Ruyi, water ripples, red phoenix winged satin shoes, crystal bead curtain with double happiness words, inlaid with gold wire inlaid with three treasures of white jade Ruyi, painted gold dragon and phoenix Chengxiang pine smoke ink...... When I was a child, I accidentally listened to the eunuch read the gift list, or when my father took stock of the private treasury, I was young at that time, and what I wanted most was the red phoenix wing satin shoes, I just thought it was so beautiful, and I pestered my father for a long time, and my father only said that I was still young and not suitable, and I came up with a string of coral bracelets. ”

The eighth princess is sour in her heart, and others are not much better than her, but they don't want the eighth princess to show everything on their faces, and they can't prevent things in their hearts, the seventh princess is afraid that she will have something wrong because of her big belly, so people didn't come, and only sent birthday gifts! Otherwise, after listening to the words of the eighth princess, it would be strange that I didn't get angry in my heart! She always felt that only she could compare to Lan Qiduo! In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that in the hearts of her father, she was not comparable to Lan Qiduo at all, and even all of them were not comparable combined.

The small country on the border over there was still lamenting Emperor Kangtai's generosity to his daughter and the loss of such a wealthy girl, but Xiahou Yi's smiling face was about to stiffen!

And the eunuch over there was still reading: "The vertical cabinet with the red sandalwood roof is opened in all directions, and the clothes of the four seasons and everything goes well, and the gold, silver, and purse are each pressed into the cabinet!" Huanghuali long horizontal cabinet three, with the red satin embroidered gold double happiness quilt pillow set, red colorful lotus flash satin quilt pillow set, red colorful rich Changchun makeup satin quilt pillow set, rose purple entangled brocade thin quilt pillow set, twisted gold and silver thread slippery silk brocade quilt pillow set, Su embroidered elastic red brocade silk thin quilt pillow set! The sour branch horizontal cabinet is opened, with a total of 100 camphor wood horizontal cabinets of various colors of satin, flash satin, makeup satin, silk satin, silk, etc., and one of the satin mink fur robes, gray squirrel skin robes, fine sheepskin robes, silver rat skin robes, mink fur coats, mink fur coats, white fox fur coats, silver rat skin coats, gray squirrel skin coats, and fox gizzard leather ......coats.

Listening to the things on these gift lists, sure enough, His Majesty was not at ease, and now he is rewarding him so lavishly, and when he pays for it, he will get a dowry to keep this face! Xiahou Yi originally thought that what his father left for him would be left to his children in the future, after all, a good man would not naturally make money to support his wife and children, but now he feels that he is wrong, these are not at the same level at all! If he continues like this, he can't even keep it, and he doesn't look at the eyes of those colleagues looking at him, and he looks at a person who eats soft rice!

But Xiahou Yi's character doesn't understand these people's eyes at all, it's naked envy, jealousy and hatred! If this kind of thing is put on their family, then they will wake up laughing in a dream, okay? Who still cares about face in the inside, can face be eaten? Can you drink face? Or can face be used as silver when it is used for silver?

However, when it was the turn of the colts to present gifts, Xiahou Yi still took a deep breath, this year, as a quasi-colt, he also wanted to give gifts to Emperor Kangtai! The eight horses in front, whether they were in the capital or in other places, all rushed back on the day of Emperor Kangtai's birthday, and all of them had different thoughts!

There are a person-high white jade Guanyin, a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a singer with both color and art, hand-copied scriptures, and rare strange stones......

When it was Xiahou Yi's turn, the eunuch's throat seemed to be choked!

When everyone looked sideways, he shouted tremblingly: "Lord Xiahou, Lord Xiahou enters a vat of ginger!" ”

There was silence, followed by a buzz!

Send ginger? Is that the ginger that is used to cook in the kitchen on weekdays? That ginger in the ginger soup? Everyone's eyes are a little fluttering!

Following the line of sight, sure enough, as the eunuch's words fell, he saw that there were palace people carrying a table with a length of four or five meters, Emperor Kangtai saw these things that were delayed and chaotic, in fact, everyone is similar, how expensive and how to come, but for Emperor Kangtai, these things are not much different from a stone, a rag, and a piece of paper, at first glance, I heard that Xiahou Yi gave such an ingenious gift, Emperor Kangtai was very interested!

Giving the prince a look, the prince cleared his throat: "What is Lord Xiahou sending?" ”

Tsk, he's actually curious!

"As you can see, ginger!"

Lao Tzu naturally knows that it is ginger, but can you take it for granted?

"Your Majesty, please look at the appearance of this ginger?"

Xiahou Yi said and tore open the red cloth covering the several meters long table!

Emperor Kangtai sat a little far away on the dragon chair, so he had to walk down and take a look for himself, "It looks like a mountain......

"Exactly, Weichen has made all the rivers and mountains of Daqi with ginger, these ups and downs of the mountains are all taken back from the barbarians one after another by His Majesty in charge of the government over the years, Wechen is only willing to be under the rule of His Majesty, and guard the rivers and mountains of Daqi forever in his lifetime!"

"What a country forever! As long as I am in one day, Daqi will never lose an inch of land! ”

Which emperor doesn't want the country to be eternal? What emperor doesn't want to carry forward the legacy of his ancestors in his own hands? Emperor Kangtai was already more tenacious than others, how could he not have a little ambition to make the prosperity of the Great Qi Zhili now? Hearing these words at this time is simply hundreds of times better than those jade jade Guanyin, sweat and blood BMW, and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! It's an itch!

Emperor Kangtai's voice was sonorous and powerful in the main hall, and who among the courtiers did not want to leave a name in history in the prosperous era? When they heard this, they only felt that their blood was boiling, and they knelt down one by one and shouted: "The ministers swear to defend the Great Qi River and the mountains forever!" ”

"The ministers swear to defend the Great Qi forever!"

"The ministers swear to defend the Great Qi forever!"

"The ministers swear to defend the Great Qi forever!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

……

The sound of this mountain is like a tsunami in the main hall never stops, and the eunuchs with organic spirits have long introduced the dialogue between the courtiers and Emperor Kangtai to the people, and they are spread to the people, compared to no less than ten days and half a month, these words will let the entire Great Qi know what kind of person their king is, and what kind of king they follow!

Xiahou Yi's gift left a heavy pen and ink in the hearts of the people, with Xiahou Yi such a special beauty in front, the gift given by others is no matter how strange it is difficult to enter the eyes of Emperor Kangtai, after this time, Emperor Kangtai's perception of Xiahou Yi is really much better, and even after the banquet, he even let people reward Xiahou Yi with the famous sword collected in his private library, the Feilu sword used by the god of war Bai Yi, but this time no one said anything, because Xiahou Yi's row of "Jiang Shan" is really happy, Let them, the powerless scholars, also feel their blood boiling! It can be said that as a Daqi person, there is no one who does not want his country to be strong and prosperous!

In the years since, no one has ever given Emperor Kangtai such a shock as today's birthday banquet!

When the sunset was still full, the increasing heat had dissipated, leaving only some scorching feeling, but it was not scorching, Emperor Kangtai saw that Xiahou Yi was performing well today, and finally turned a blind eye, and when he frequently looked like Lan Qiduo, he snorted and pretended not to see it, and took the envoys and ministers of various countries to transfer to his Ten Thousand Beasts Garden!

The warm wind was blowing, and Xiahou Yi secretly glanced at Lan Qiduo, only to feel that his heart was pounding and jumping.

Because of Emperor Kangtai's birthday today, Lan Qiduo dressed up as much as possible in the direction of gorgeous and noble, after all, there are envoys from other small countries, as the daughter of Emperor Kangtai, she can't be as casual as usual.

She is wearing a wide-sleeved waist-hugging skirt, the upper body because Lan Qiduo does not like cumbersome, the show girls try their best to only show the original pattern of the Tencel clothing, but the skirt is embroidered with gold and silver threads as thin as fetal hair, and the branches are embroidered with thousands of pearls, which shine with gold and silver threads, which are indescribably expensive.

The distance between the two was not far away, one after the other, Xiahou Yi only stared at the corners of Lan Qiduo's flying skirt, and only felt that it was no wonder that the prince said that it cost a lot of money to raise Yuanjia, but this outfit was very expensive just to look at, not to mention the labor and time spent by those top embroidery girls, but if it was him, he would also be willing to use such a thing to dress up Yuanjia, not why just think that Yuanjia dressed up like this was radiant and unprecedentedly beautiful, just for this beauty, he also had to grit his teeth! It's just that in the future, he will appreciate such a dazzling beauty alone, and those Fanbang Maozi spoke out today, Xiahou Yi almost couldn't help but come forward, but fortunately, Emperor Kangtai had already refused.

"Huh?"

Xiahou Yi just followed Lan Qiduo and walked forward, he didn't hear what Lan Qiduo said, and almost bumped into Lan Qiduo, Xiao Tuxi glared at Xiahou Yi angrily!

"What did Yuanjia say?"

Lan Qiduo looked at Xiahou Yi with a blank face amusedly: "How did your Great Qi 'Jiang Mountain' come from?" ”

Lan Qiduo had doubts, Xiahou Yi should solve his doubts, and speaking of this can be regarded as his proud work, but I'm afraid no one has thought that Xiahou Yi is like this because, he really doesn't want to spend so much money to get a thing that Emperor Kangtai is too lazy to look at at a second time, and in order to prepare for the dowry, he even plans to move the things that his father left for the children in the future, you can imagine how poor he is!

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that after the ginger comes down early, when the ginger is about to grow, tie them with silk threads to look like mountains and rivers all over the world, and then adjust it when they grow up, and it becomes what they want."

Lan Qiduo looked at Xiahou Yi's eyes very gently, it was not easy to plant ginger just to think about it, and Xiahou Yi must have taken great pains to treat his father's birthday gift like this, it can be seen that he really cares about her!

"Thank you for making my father happy!"

Xiahou Yi only felt that the few months spent were worth it in Lan Qiduo's eyes, and he said a little helplessly: "No...... It's nothing, if you get married in the future, he can be regarded as my father, and it is natural to be filial to my father! ”

Hearing him say this, Lan Qiduo bit his lip and smiled, and he actually gave birth to a feeling of shyness! (To be continued.) )
