Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Prince
"Mother, the eldest prince and the second prince have arrived, and they have come to congratulate you on your birthday."
Seeing Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu Tianrou supporting Mrs. Wu to stand in front, Wu Yunyang immediately took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to help Mrs. Wu, and said to her with a smile and a red face.
"The eldest prince and the second prince, the old body is polite here, thanks to the royal love, the two princes came to participate in the birthday banquet, and the old body is very grateful."
Mrs. Wu was wearing a dark jujube red swasher pattern cardigan today, and with a smile on her face at this time, the whole person looked radiant.
"The old lady is polite, the father, the queen, and the queen mother in the palace have always remembered the old lady. My second brother and I came to celebrate our birthday on behalf of our father, mother, and queen mother, who were not easy to leave the palace. The younger generation Situ Jingtian, I wish the old lady happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity than the old pine of Nanshan! ”
The eldest prince Situ Jingtian, who was dressed in a navy blue robe, smiled slightly, politely and politely bowed to Mrs. Wu slightly, and then swept his eyes over the faces of Mrs. Wu, Wu Yunyang, Mrs. Wu and Wu Tianrou, nodded slightly, and then stood aside without squinting.
"Haha...... the eldest prince is so polite, the old body doesn't dare to accept your courtesy!"
Old Mrs. Wu, who was supported by Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu, looked at Situ Jingtian, who was steady, with a faint smile in front of her, and her movements were steady and polite in every detail, and couldn't help but smile and squint.
"Bearable, bearable. The younger generation Situ Jingshuo visited the old lady and wished the old lady a prosperous sun and moon, and a long pine crane. ”
Situ Jingshuo on the side stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Wu, and when he stood up, he swept over Wu Tianrou who was standing behind Mrs. Wu with a smile on his face.
"This is Lord Wu's beloved daughter, right?"
"The eldest prince and the second prince, this is Wu Tianrou, the eldest daughter of Weichen."
Smiling at Situ Jingtian and Situ Jingxuan, Wu Yunyang nodded to Wu Tianrou.
"Tilt, come and meet the two princes."
"The courtier Wu Tianrou has seen the eldest prince and the second prince, thank you for coming to celebrate her grandmother's birthday."
Wu Tianrou slowly stepped forward, leaned over slightly and bowed to Situ Jingtian and Situ Jingxuan, she kept a gentle smile on her face, and there was no trace of abnormality.
"Okay, don't be so polite, please get up quickly."
Situ Jingtian just nodded lightly towards Wu Tianrou, while Situ Jingxuan quickly stretched out his hand, wanting to help Wu Tianrou get up.
Wu Tianrou lowered her head slightly, pretended to salute, and then took a small step back, just enough to dodge Situ Jingshuo's hand.
Standing up straight, Wu Tianrou smiled at Situ Jingtian and Situ Jingxuan as if she hadn't noticed anything, and then turned back behind Mrs. Wu.
"I have long known that Lord Wu's beloved daughter is as beautiful as a flower and has both ability and political integrity, and she really deserves her reputation when I see it today."
Naturally, he withdrew his hand, and there was no dissatisfaction or embarrassment on Situ Jingxuan's face.
"Haha, I don't deserve to be praised by the second prince. Come, let's take a seat, the birthday feast will start soon. ”
Smiled and waved his hand at Situ Jingxuan, Wu Yunyang hurriedly beckoned the officials and relatives behind him to sit down.
After tossing and turning for a cup of tea, everyone finally sat down.
"Today is my mother's 60th birthday, thank you for coming to the birthday banquet, and thank you for the arrival of the two princes, so that the Wufu Peng is shining! Come, I, Wu Yunyang, will give you a glass first, thank you! The eldest prince, the second prince, please! ”
After everyone was seated, Wu Yunyang picked up a glass of wine and first toasted everyone.
As the eldest prince and the second prince raised their wine glasses, everyone present raised their wine glasses, and after saluting each other, everyone drank them all. Of course, the ladies are casual.
Wu Tianrou sat behind Mrs. Wu, took a small sip of wine, and put down the wine glass.
She could always feel that Situ Jingxuan, who was sitting opposite, always swept his gaze towards herself from time to time, which made her feel disgusting and nervous, for fear that she would accidentally show hatred on her face, so she could only hang her face slightly and pretend to eat the dishes.
Wu Qingcheng, who was sitting next to her, occasionally raised his wine glass slightly and gestured faintly twice towards the opposite side. She thought that Wu Tianrou lowered her head and didn't notice it, but in fact, all her actions did not escape Wu Tianrou's eyes.
A little irritated, he poked the pastries on the plate with chopsticks, and it wasn't until Cui Ping behind him gently pulled himself that Wu Tianrou noticed that the two princes had begun to transfer the Queen Mother's birthday gift to the old lady.
"This is the birthday gift that the Queen Mother asked us to pass on to the old lady, please take a look at the old lady, I don't know if it is satisfactory."
After speaking, Situ Jingtian waved his hand, and the waiter behind him immediately stepped forward with a long brocade box more than an arm long.
The waiter walked to Mrs. Wu's table, gently opened the lid of the brocade box, and handed the brocade box to Mrs. Wu's eyes.
Everyone raised their eyes and found that the brocade box was a good rosewood crutch, as soon as the brocade box was opened, a faint rosewood aroma came out, and the wood aroma was very light.
"Good! This rosewood cane is so good, I love it! ”
As soon as she saw this rosewood cane, Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up, and she immediately waved her hand to let the begonia behind her step forward and take the cane.
Holding it in her hand, Mrs. Wu immediately felt the weight of the cane, and then looked at the texture on it, she knew that it must be made of the best rosewood zuò, especially the carving of the old birthday star on the head of the cane, which made her even more satisfied.
"You must thank the Queen Mother on my behalf, I like this cane so much, or she knows my preferences."
"It's good if the old lady likes it, and the queen mother will be very happy to know that the old lady is very satisfied with her gift."
Smiling and nodding, Situ Jingtian picked up the wine glass and toasted Mrs. Wu with a glass of wine, and for a while, the guests and hosts were happy, and the atmosphere of the banquet slowly became lively.
"Grandmother, granddaughter wishes you a long life and a long and blessed life! This is a birthday gift from my granddaughter to my grandmother, and I hope my grandmother likes it. ”
Wu Tianrou stood up and walked to the old lady Wu, and gently knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady twice, and then signaled Cui Ping to hold the brocade box containing the birthday gift.
Reaching out to take the gift box, Wu Tianrou opened the box, exposed the white jade Guanyin in it, and put it on Mrs. Wu's table.
"Rou'er, hurry up, yo, this white jade Guanyin is really good, I like it so much, Rou'er has a heart."
Looking at the white jade Guanyin on the table that was faintly shining in the sun, Old Madam Wu couldn't help but smile and squint. Raising her hand to caress this white jade Guanyin, which feels warm and delicate, Mrs. Wu looked at Wu Tianrou's eyes and became even more satisfied.
Situ Sedum, who was sitting on the side, finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the white jade Guanyin that Wu Tianrou took out.
