The birthday celebration is divided into three parts.

The first part is the morning of the people to congratulate, at this stage the old lady is personally appeared, all the vassal kings, feudal officials, princes and nobles, the Son of Heaven and important ministers have to enter the congratulatory gifts and compare with each other, and then say some auspicious words to each other, everyone communicates with each other, and the morning has passed.

The second part is the song and dance session in the afternoon, after noon, the six Shangshu will jointly write a birthday message, and the emperor personally issued an amnesty to the world, but this amnesty is not promulgated casually, only when the enthronement, ten longevity, the birth of the prince and other major links will appear, at least ten years to start, and even Zhao Xing did not amnesty the world when he ascended the throne, because one is in a hurry and the other is to get the throne is not too positive.

After the amnesty of the world, the song and dance performance will begin, which will be more relaxed, that is, chanting poems, listening to songs and dancing, and the old birthday star does not need to participate, it is an exchange meeting of a group of courtiers.

The third scene, which is the evening one, is the main event, and the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for tonight's event for more than half a year. In addition to eating and drinking, this dinner also has a further function, that is, the spiritual outlook of the Great Song Dynasty is displayed, and there will be businessmen, talents, officials, and envoys from other countries participating in it.

It is said that this is a grand dinner party imitated by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, in order to let foreigners see the pattern and aura of the Great Song Dynasty.

But Song Beiyun scoffed at this third scene, and wanted foreigners to afford it, definitely not by luxury and abundance, but by caliber and range, and inviting them to 10,000 banquets was better than putting 100 cannons on the border, and too extravagant and luxurious hospitality would make these people think that the Great Song Dynasty was rich and not enough to comfort the people.

But he's not going to say that now, he's not going to talk to people, he's good at fooling people but he's not good at debating with people, especially when he doesn't have a stick in his hand. Those pedantic Confucians are not outstanding talents with the best skills to run trains, and one mouth is the world when all countries come to the court. It is only when the stick is struck on their dog's head that they understand what true justice is.

Therefore, the debate tournament that can't be beaten is boring. Song Beiyun naturally didn't bother to make peace with them, just join in the fun, anyway, today are all first-class beautiful palace maids selected from the palace, and I heard Yan Shu say that you can touch them casually while you are drunk at night.

Yan Shu is not a good thing, and it can even be said that all talented young people are not a good thing, this is one of the most intuitive feelings of Song Beiyun after coming to this era, there are many scumbags in ancient times, that is true. Whether it is Wen Tingyun, who is lovesick and doesn't know, or Su Dongpo, who has been in the middle of life and death for ten years, and Yuan Zhen, who is lazy to look back on the flowers, none of them are good things.

Song Beiyun felt that he was much better than them, really much better. At least he said that he wouldn't sell Qiaoqiao to others, and he wouldn't watch Jin Ling'er go to kiss.

And look at these talented people, what they say is very good, and what they write is even better, but they often don't do anything.

"Xiao Yan, how old were you for the first time?"

Yan Shu was silent for a while: "Fifteen or sixteen, there is a maid at home, what's wrong?" ”

"Awesome......" Song Beiyun gave a thumbs up: "It's okay, young man." ”

"What about you?"

"you." Song Beiyun turned his head sideways and took a sip of tea: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”

Yan Shu's fan slapped in his hand: "You are really damned." ”

"Bold! How do you talk to your grandfather? ”

And when they were arguing, the treasure offering link in front began, and the first one to offer the treasure was of course the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but his treasures were not open to the public, but he personally came out to say a word of peace and auspiciousness to the emperor's grandmother.

The second round is the harem treasure link, the first to appear is naturally the queen mother, no matter whether their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is good or not, if she fools around casually on her mother-in-law's birthday, but she loses her identity and decorum manners, so the gifts she chooses are also extremely precious.

"The Empress Dowager, please look." The Queen Mother came to the Queen Mother and pointed down.

The Queen Mother looked over and found that there was a painting carried by two eunuchs, which was very long and was not made of paper but carved with Annan gold silk wood, and the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix was painted on it.

"The Queen Mother presents a pair of golden silk wood bronzing paintings with a hundred birds and a phoenix!"

The eunuch of the inner palace shouted the name of the gift, and everyone praised it in unison when they heard this thing, and it was extremely difficult to draw a hundred birds and a phoenix, plus it was bronzing and gold silk wood splicing, this thing was coveted by many people.

"Good, good." The Empress Dowager laughed: "Reward! ”

This reward, in fact, is to celebrate the birthday of the elders with the juniors in the folk family, and the elders give a red envelope, which is not a red envelope but an auspicious one.

The old lady took off a bracelet from her hand and put it on her daughter-in-law's hand, and the queen mother immediately leaned down to bow down and let the old lady touch his head.

The second one on the stage was the queen, who was already tall in her belly, and she stepped forward with the support of the palace maid, and wanted to bow but was stopped by the old lady.

"Alas, that's the queen, right?" Song Beiyun stretched his neck and looked over: "It's beautiful." ”

"I'm pregnant with Liujia, I'm afraid I'll have to have a prince after the New Year."

Yan Shu muttered in a low voice beside him: "The daughter of the Wang family is also the sister of Wang Wenyuan. ”

"The same mother came out of the belly, and the sister and brother are like grafting."

"You can't be fooled, you be quiet." Yan Shu dragged Song Beiyun: "Don't be too rampant." ”

Song Beiyun snorted coldly, and was still rampant...... If he rushes up and says that Zhao Xing is a mule, then it is called rampant, what kind of rampant is this.

A mule's wife was pregnant, and suddenly Song Beiyun felt a little distressed about Zhao Xuan......

"The queen mother presents a set of nine treasure sachets!"

"That's good." Song Beiyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with some excitement.

Yan Shu was stunned: "What is this Nine Treasure Sachet?" ”

"Nine treasures sachet is nine kinds of extremely precious spices, there are calming the nerves, calming shock, driving away evil spirits, windproof, dampness, clearing the heart, invigorating blood, clearing heat, detoxification effects, as long as it is placed in the room, not only will there be no mosquitoes and flies infestation but also can make the use of people sleep particularly peacefully, but these spices are very precious, the price is scared to death."

Yan Shu nodded as if he had gained knowledge: "If you don't talk like this, I forgot that you are my grandfather's junior brother." ”

"Do you remember it, don't you call Uncle Grandpa?"

"Go, go, go......"

After the queen, because there were no other concubines in the harem, it was naturally the turn of the princess, and Jin Ling'er, as the first princess of the Great Song Dynasty, was naturally the first, she picked up the longevity picture from the side and held it in her arms, and went down in person.

"Come, unfold." She put the longevity chart in the little eunuch's hand: "Slowly." ”

The little eunuch slowly unfolded, and the shining longevity character on it was really eye-catching, and it didn't look heavy, but it seemed to be stretching to both sides as if there was no end.

"Is this really made of gold and silver?"

The cloth woven with gold and silver threads shocked everyone present, and the fine stitches, not to mention gold and silver, even linen cloth could not be woven so finely, only silk could fight with it.

And the more than ten catties of gold and silver are stretched out up to 30 meters, almost the entire palace is connected, and the longevity characters and pine crane patterns of various demeanors on the top can be seen that the craftsmanship of this thing is superb and the intentions are meticulous.

"Ouch, this thing is so detailed." The Empress Dowager had long seen Song Beiyun running in with this, but she didn't expect it to be such a beautiful picture: "Come on, come on, push me up and take a look." ”

Immediately behind, there were palace people pushing the Empress Dowager forward, she stretched out her hand and touched it on the longevity chart a few times, and found that the tentacles were cold and dense, and it was really the texture of gold and silver, and the pattern on the top was really embroidered on the top, and it was also made of gold and silver thread.

There is no shortage of treasures in the royal family, and any pearl coral is not rare, but this longevity picture is really something that people have never seen, and it looks fresh and makes people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

"How much does this thing weigh?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this thing is fourteen catties and two taels, and after removing the two painting scrolls, it is thirteen catties and two taels. It is made of gold and silver threads, and it is said that you can see rainbows in the sun. The chief eunuch of the celebrant replied respectfully: "This is Princess Ruibao's offering of treasures. ”

Jin Ling'er stood next to her with a proud face, this Song Beiyun made her have a long face, not only a practical wheelchair, but also this dazzling gold silk painting, which suddenly pressed down the queen mother and queen, and won the best in the audience.

"It's ingenious." The Empress Dowager praised again and again: "Hurry up, put it away, don't break it for me." ”

The eunuch carefully rolled up the longevity picture, and then shouted: "Princess Ruibao presents a picture of longevity for gold and silver weaving pine cranes!" ”

The old lady looked very happy, but the queen mother's face became ugly, different from the sachet sent by the queen, she also sent a painting, and Jin Sinan's hundred birds and phoenixes are also very rare, but she didn't expect that now she was taken away by Jin Ling'er's picture of pine cranes prolonging life.

She glanced at Jin Ling'er angrily, sitting there full of depression in her heart, but it was not good to have a seizure on this occasion, but she just sat there motionless with a blue face.

Jin Ling'er was particularly rewarded, the queen mother was a bracelet, and the queen was a jade plate, but when she arrived at Jin Ling'er, the old lady took off the string of rouge jade around her neck with a smile.

It was a token of love from Emperor Taizu to the old lady, and she wore it on her body for a lifetime, but now she hung it on Jin Ling'er's neck with her own hands.

"Good boy, take it." The old lady happily held Jin Ling'er's hand: "It's a shame that you put so much effort into it." ”

Jin Ling'er grinned, squatted down and whispered to the old lady: "Grandmother Huang, this longevity picture was sent to me by my father, and the chair you sat on was given by me." ”

"It's all the same, it's the same." The old lady couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought that her only remaining son couldn't come, and she felt even more distressed about Jin Ling'er: "This is all from that child, right?" ”

"What did you say, grandmother, my grandson doesn't understand."

"Don't pretend to be confused with me." The old lady pinched Jin Ling'er's face affectionately: "It's the young man just now, the one who hurriedly came to find you, you should tell the truth to your grandmother quickly." ”

And the intimacy between their ancestors and grandchildren in the eyes of the Queen Mother made her feel like a man, no matter how she looked at it, she snorted coldly and turned her head, and it just so happened that her eyes flickered past Zhao Xuan who was not far away, her eyes rolled, and her heart suddenly came to a plan.
