There were three envoys from Bailiao Kingdom, the first one was a middle-aged man about forty years old, followed by two young men who looked like retinues, each holding a red box in their hands.

After entering the door, the three of them first saluted Shen Wu'an, "See the emperor!" ”

"Let's be flat." Shen Wu'an waved his hand and asked seemingly casually, "I heard that the queen mother of your country asked you to come to send congratulatory gifts, and I bothered you to thank her on behalf of me after you go back!" ”

The middle-aged man in front of him answered in a low voice, and then made a gesture to the two people behind him, and saw the two people step forward and respectfully present the box in their hands, "This is a congratulatory gift from our queen mother to Her Royal Highness the Prince, please accept it with a smile!" ”

Junko stepped forward to take it and put it on the table next to it.

Glancing at the things at hand, Shen Wu'an replied and said: "In a few days it will be Xiao'er's birthday, I hope that the three envoys can stay for a few more days, and then return to China after attending Xiao'er's birthday banquet, I don't know what a few people think?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, "Then I'll be respectful rather than obey." ”

Seeing that they agreed, Shen Wu'an instructed Zhai Qinglian on the side: "The three envoys have come from afar, and they must be tired, so Lord Zhai will entertain these three distinguished guests for me." ”

"Wechen obeys!"

It wasn't until Zhai Qinglian left with the three envoys of the Hundred Liao Kingdom that Shen Wu'an once again focused on the two boxes they sent, staring at them for a while, and then he said in a deep voice: "Open!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shunzi agreed, stepped forward and opened one of the boxes, only to see that there were some strange gadgets inside, which did not look very valuable, but these gadgets were unique in shape, but they were very able to please children.

Inside the other box lies a longevity lock, a collar made of pure gold, carved with delicate and intricate patterns; There is a small and delicate jade lock hanging under the collar, the jade is warm and delicate, exuding a soft light, and you can know that it is the best mutton fat white jade at a glance.

Although compared to those gadgets, this longevity lock is relatively valuable, but if it is the handiwork of the mother of a country, these will inevitably seem a little stingy, so Shen Wuan just glanced at it casually, and planned to let Jin Yu put it away, but before he could open his mouth to call someone, the little guy in his arms had already leaned over and took the gold-inlaid jade longevity lock in his hand.

Looking at his son's actions, Shen Wu'an felt a little surprised, the little guy has also seen a lot of good things in the past year, and he has long been disdainful of these gold and silver ornaments, why did he suddenly become interested in an ordinary longevity lock at this time?

Xiao Shen Li did seem to like this longevity lock very much, although the weight of the lock was a bit heavy for him, but he still held it tightly in his hand, and waved it from time to time, and when he heard the "jingle bell" sound made by the jade hitting the metal, he would grin and laugh happily.

Seeing that he was having fun by himself, Shen Wu'an couldn't help but ask, "Li'er likes this?" ”

Xiao Shen Li didn't know if he understood what he asked, and when he heard him talking to himself, he sent the thing in his hand to him, babbling in his little mouth and not knowing what he was expressing.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to hand the longevity lock to himself, Shen Wuan reached out and took it, carefully flipped over the small jade lock and looked at it, and found a line of small words at the bottom of the jade lock: "May my son be healthy for a lifetime."

The simple seven words made Shen Wu'an feel as if he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned.

Yes, he should have thought a long time ago, how could the queen of Bailiao, who he didn't know before, go all the way to let people come all the way to send birthday gifts to his son? If you are not a person who cares about these simple but obviously thought-consuming gifts, how can you be willing to waste energy on such a thing?

This realization made Shen Wu'an a little overwhelmed, it took him a whole year, and finally forgot the figure in his memory, he thought that he could no longer think of her, but now that he only saw a few words from her, Shen Wu'an found that all his previous efforts were just in vain, that person seemed to be engraved into his blood and bones, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life!

It's just that she only has a son in her heart? Since he remembered that on his son's birthday, people traveled thousands of miles to send congratulatory gifts, so why did he stingily refuse to give him even a word? It's a little too cruel for him!

Thinking of this, Shen Wu'an subconsciously clenched the things in his hand, but his son's cry came from his ears.

It turned out that Xiao Shen Li's original intention was just to show him the longevity lock, but he didn't return it to himself after he took it, and the little guy simply snatched the longevity lock from his father's hand, but at this time, Shen Wu'an increased his strength because of the fluctuation of his feelings, and the little guy couldn't pull it after a few pulls, so he cried loudly and angrily.

After sensing his intentions, Shen Wu'an hurriedly returned the longevity lock to the little guy and said to him: "This is given to you by your mother, you must remember to keep it well, do you know?" ”

Xiao Shen was happy about the loss of the jade lock at this moment, when he suddenly heard an unfamiliar name, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at him suspiciously, "Mother? ”

"Yes, your mother gave it to you." Shen Wu'an nodded, the pronunciation of the word "little guy" was very accurate.

At this time, Xiao Shenli didn't understand what the word "Niang" meant to him, so he quickly put the title he had just learned behind him, and played with the "toy" he had just seen in his hand.

Xiao Shenli's birthday was also the day he was officially canonized as the crown prince.

Because he was going to Taimiao to worship his ancestors on this day, the little guy was woken up early in the morning, and in a daze, a few girls changed into the prince's dress sent by the boss clothes a few days ago, and then Shen Wu'an personally carried him to Taimiao to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.

Although the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince is not as grand as the new emperor's enthronement and canonization of the queen, it is also extremely complicated and cumbersome, at first Xiao Shen Li obediently stayed in Shen Wu'an's arms, listening to his father's words and trying to cooperate, but after a long time, the little guy stopped doing it, twisting his little body to find Jin Yu and a few of them, no matter how Shen Wu'an coaxed it, it didn't work, and finally had to end the ceremony hastily and return to the Qinzheng Palace.

Xiao Shen Li's grievances today are great, he has never gotten up so early in the past, so when the ceremony was just a third of the way, the little guy was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he was reprimanded by his father, so when he returned to the Qinzheng Palace, after seeing Jin Yu and a few girls, he didn't even look at Shen Wu'an, and went directly into Liangyuan's arms and didn't come out.

"What's going on?" Seeing that the little guy looked very wronged, Jin Yu asked distressedly.

Looking at the little guy who was facing him with the back of his head, Shen Wu'an slapped his fleshy little ass helplessly, "Didn't you just let you sleep during the ceremony?" Are you so angry that you ignore me? ”

Xiao Shen Li moved his body in Liangyuan's arms, still facing him with the back of his head.

Shen Wu'an wanted to say something when he saw this, but was interrupted by Xiao Shunzi who walked in, "Your Majesty, the people from the imperial dining room came to report just now, saying that the banquet has been prepared, should it start now?" ”

Today is not only Xiao Shen Li's birthday, but also the big day when he was canonized as the crown prince, according to the rules, it is natural to feast the ministers in the palace to congratulate, the banquet was originally arranged in the evening, but Shen Wuan planned to accompany his son well at night, so he advanced the banquet to noon.

Seeing that the little guy was still angry with himself, Shen Wuan thought about it and nodded, "Let's go." After speaking, he took Xiao Shunzi and left the Qinzheng Palace.

As soon as he left with his front foot, Jin Yu chased after him with his back foot, and reminded loudly: "Your Majesty, you remember to come back early, and you have to hold a week for His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Grasping the week is a traditional custom of celebrating the birth ceremony of the Daliang folk, which is usually held when the child has just turned one year old, and the child is placed on the table full of various items, so that he can choose what he likes, so as to predict the future of the child.

Of course, as the only heir of the royal family so far, Xiao Shenli's future has long been doomed, and it doesn't have much to do with what he catches.

The Zhou Ceremony is generally only attended by relatives, so at Xiao Shen Li's Zhou Ceremony that night, in addition to Shen Wu'an and Jin Yu Liangyuan, there were only An Lehou and Qu Yizhu and his wife.

A few girls arranged the table early, and there were all kinds of things on it, in addition to the things that would appear at the folk children's weekly ceremony, Shen Wu'an also deliberately put the jade seal in it to see if Xiao Shen Li would choose it.

An Lehou and Qu Yizhu entered the palace at the moment of Shen Shi, and Shen Wu'an had not come back at this time, so they hugged Xiao Shen Li and teased, and gossiped with a few girls by the way.

The two of them often go into the palace to visit the little guy, so Xiao Shenli is no stranger to them at all, and at this time he is sitting in Qu Yizhu's arms, hooking Yingluo on her clothes with his little hand and having fun by himself.

At first, Qu Yizhu didn't notice the abnormality, until Xiao Shen casually lowered her head, and then she suddenly noticed that there was an extra golden collar in the collar of the little guy, and she couldn't help but ask strangely, "Where did this come from?" I remember not seeing it when I entered the palace two days ago! ”

"The young lady asked her to send it back." It was Jin Yu who answered her.

Qu Yizhu was slightly stunned when she heard this, "Did my sister finally let someone come back with news?" ”

Since Qu Wurong left Tiandu City, there has been no news back in this year, and everyone can't help but worry about her, and now that she finally has news, Qu Yizhu said that it was false not to be excited.

"Nope." Jin Yu shook his head gently, "It's just that people sent some gifts to His Royal Highness the Prince, and there was not even a letter, the emperor was very unhappy about it, and we didn't dare to mention it in front of him." ”

Hearing her words, Qu Yizhu's originally excited heart instantly returned to calm.

"Alright, let's stop talking about that!" Seeing that everyone suddenly fell into silence, Yang Chun and Sister Bai Xue glanced at each other and tacitly changed the topic, "Why don't we all guess what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will catch later?" ”

No longer continuing the heavy topic just now, the atmosphere in the hall soon became lively again, and even Xiao Shen Li was not willing to be lonely, babbling his opinions until Shen Wu'an came back from outside.
