Chapter 37: The Birthday Banquet (4)

The tenth elder brother who was holding the music box was satisfied and followed the ninth elder brother back to bed to sleep, and Hajlan also lay down on the couch, staring at the lilac tent on the opposite bed, and after a while, he squinted his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Hajlan slept calmly this night, and when he woke up, it was already half of the afternoon, and when Hajlan opened his eyes, the room was very quiet, and the palace maids and grandmothers should not be too far away. Hajlan looked at the bed, and saw that the ninth elder brother sleeping outside slept extremely sweetly, his little face was flushed, revealing a frosted luster, and the pink little mouth was closed one by one, and the pink little tongue was exposed, but it was a pity that the tenth elder brother's feet were on his body, which made this sleeping beauty picture a big failure!

"Ninth Elder Brother, Tenth Elder Brother, Gege, it's time to start." The soft voice of Mama Ge Fohe sounded, and Hajlan realized that the stunned kung fu palace maids had quietly entered the house and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and Hajlan were served to get up and tidy up, and then the ladies of the Mama Palace surrounded them and arrived at the main hall of Cining Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, he greeted him with a salute, and Kangxi also finished handling political affairs and said that he would pick up the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, and the Empress Dowager went to the Palace of Yangxin together.

I saw the crown prince standing on the left side of Kangxi, wearing a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe, he was smaller than the eldest brother standing on the right, his thin and tall body was graceful and luxurious, and his face looked very handsome.

The eldest brother is fifteen or sixteen years old, but he looks like a martial artist, and the other princes are all following his mother, and he and the crown prince are standing behind Kangxi, holding their heads high.

Going down is the fourth elder brother, because he is by the side of the imperial concubine Tong Jia, and his position is naturally at the front.

Then came down to Concubine Yi, and the fifth elder brother stood beside Concubine Yi obediently.

The third elder brother has a hard life, if he is in the order of brothers, he can naturally stand in the third place, but now according to the seat of the old lady, he can only stand at the end. Who made Concubine Rong the last among the four concubines! But he's not bad, at least he's still a concubine, and he still has a seat. The concubines in the back could only stand and watch.

The third elder brother was holding a fan at this time to fan his mother, please, it's okay in September now, the autumn breeze is cool, pretend to be filial and don't let your mother catch a cold.

The next ones are the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother, because of their low status as their mothers, they are not qualified to appear among the concubines who came today, so they will honestly stand behind.

As soon as the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother entered the main hall, they walked to the eighth elder brother, and the three of them secretly exchanged gestures and exchanged gestures, and then stood in order, followed by the thirteenth elder brother who was held in the arms of the grandmother.

After looking at the people, Hajran moved his somewhat sore neck. As soon as Hajlan entered the main hall, he was dragged into the arms of the Queen Mother, and fortunately there was no embarrassing scene of choosing where to stand.

Hajran looked at others, and others looked at her. I saw a red bow on the head of Hajilan's two loose bags, and as soon as he walked, the bow fluttered one after another, coupled with Hajilan's red clothes, pink skin, and beautiful facial features, it was really as good-looking as it was.

"We Hajlan are so good-looking!" The Queen Mother proudly stroked Hajlan's bag and said.

"Okay, look at Hajlan's shy head buried in your arms, the little girl is indeed very smart, how old is it, this cleverness...... Well, let's not talk about it. Xuan Ye, the time is almost up, let's drive the palace of nourishing the heart! Xiaozhuang said.

After some tossing, Xiaozhuang, the queen mother, Kangxi and the princesses and concubines went to the Yangxin Palace where the birthday banquet was held.

Sitting in the sedan chair, swaying all the way, soon, it arrived at the palace of nourishing the heart, the sedan chair stopped in the open space, the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied the palace maids and eunuchs were very eye-catching to serve Xiaozhuang, the queen mother, Kangxi and the princess and concubines, Ge Fohe Mama also quickly lifted the sedan curtain, hugged Hajilan out of the sedan chair, and then the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother came over and took one of Hajilan's hands and followed the eighth elder brother and strode into the palace of nourishing the heart.

The effect of the lanterns in the Heart Cultivation Hall is still obvious, so that the originally slightly solemn hall is filled with a festive atmosphere.

I only heard the sharp voice of the chamberlain shouting, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has arrived, kneeling to greet him." Everyone in the Heart Cultivation Hall bowed down and knelt on the ground and shouted, "The Empress Dowager is auspicious, the Empress Dowager is auspicious, the Emperor is auspicious, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" The Empress Dowager Chitose Chitose Chitose! The Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! The sound vibrated as if the Heart Cultivation Hall was shaking. After waiting for Xiaozhuang, the Queen Mother and Kangxi sat on the throne, Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Zhongqing is flat", "Long live Xie", and then everyone in the palace stood up.

Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers and family members who were invited tonight, and the lively and festive atmosphere made Emperor Kangxi very satisfied. Although there are some small problems this year, it has been quite smooth, and the birthday banquet held this time is mainly to show the grace of the ministers who came tonight, so Kangxi Zhi was proud and frequently raised his glass to the ministers close to him, and every minister was sincerely afraid to drink with the emperor, and after drinking, he felt that his face was very bright.

Kangxi whispered something to the inner attendant, and the inner attendant raised his voice and said, "Please give gifts to the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother on their birthdays, and give the second birthday gift to Nalan Mingzhu's granddaughter Hajirangege!" The hall suddenly fell silent, and the main event finally arrived. All the ministers present were quietly looking at Kangxi and the princes, hoping that their gifts would satisfy Kangxi, whether they won the four-year-old ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the infant thirteenth elder brother liked it was the second and second, but as soon as Hajilan's name came out, although the ministers and their families had already received the news that a minister's daughter was going to hold a birthday banquet with the princes, it was still very surprising to hear the news with their own ears, and they all paid attention to Nalan Pearl and Hajilan.

As soon as he heard the words of the servant, Hajlan's head was full of black lines, and when he received the spotlight-like eyes of the ministers and family members, he suddenly felt a little apprehensive. Perhaps feeling Hajlan's affection, Brother Jiu clenched Hajlan's little hand and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, don't be afraid, I'm by your side." ”

"Hey, Hajran, are you afraid? It's okay, with me and Brother Jiu to protect you, don't be afraid, if someone bullies you, I'll beat him. The tenth elder brother, who was holding Hajlan's right hand, immediately said righteously after hearing the words of the ninth elder brother, and after speaking, he also showed his little fist and patted his little chest.

Hajlan felt that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother on the left and right sides clenched his little hands, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart, and secretly said ashamed, such a big person still let the four-year-old child comfort.
