Chapter 326: Happy Birthday
When the solemn atmosphere disperses and everyone wants to give adult gifts, it is the most interesting time.
Although they are all close people, the meaning of this gift is great.
I don't know how many people are exhausted and sleepless all night in order to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony.
Yan Wushuang's gift was put at the end, after all, her gift was special and couldn't be placed.
Lord Wei Guogong gave a treasure knife, which was given to the Wei State Mansion when Taizu was alive, and Wei Guogong hoped that under the protection of Taizu, the saint could be safe and worry-free.
His Royal Highness King Sheng, as the holy emperor's uncle, sent something very interesting, it was carefully wrapped, it looked like it should be a book, but I really don't know what it is here just by looking outside.
"Your Majesty, this was given to me by the imperial brother back then, and now I will give it to you as well, just as my uncle, and give you a little heart."
It was Yan Wushuang who looked at King Sheng's smile, but he felt that King Sheng had some "bad intentions", and suddenly wanted to pray for the saint, and it was indeed his misfortune to have such a look on the emperor's uncle.
The Prime Minister's gift is much more practical, this is the Holy God personally sorted out, the past dynasties have about the causes and consequences of large-scale political events, but also to increase the political sense of smell to the Holy Lord.
Of course, the Prime Minister worked very hard to tidy up, and the saint felt very hard when he saw such a thick, so he took it obediently, after all, this is all the hard work of the old minister.
As for how the saint cried behind him, Yan Wushuang was still quite interested.
What Zhan Ge sent was a carefully prepared seal, and it was also used as a private seal of the saint, it stands to reason that this kind of thing will naturally be prepared in the palace, but this is similar to what the elders prepared, which is of great significance.
Originally, Zhan Ge discussed this with King Sheng and others, and finally decided that even if King Sheng was the emperor's uncle of the saint, Zhan Ge was the king side by side, and this identity was more important, so Zhan Ge came.
The six books sent are nothing more than precious pen, ink, paper, inkstone, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, of course, there are also unique products, and they can't be any obvious treasures.
After everyone finished offering gifts, Yan Wushuang walked to the door, and several beautiful palace maids walked in carrying a half-person high box and put it on the table prepared in the middle.
Only then did the box be withdrawn and retreated, revealing a three-tiered birthday cake inside, with a small specially made candle on top, a total of sixteen, with the word sixteen written on it, and four big words: Happy Birthday.
At the bottom of the cake was a soft and delicious bread with a layer of chocolate, a layer of white cream, and some small pieces of fruit, which were still cold because they had just been taken out of the freezer.
I'm afraid that this thing will be broken, Yan Wushuang put it in the freezer after making it yesterday, fortunately, the appearance is intact, and there is no accident.
"What is this?" Finally, someone asked everyone's thoughts, and everyone was very curious as soon as they entered the door just now, but curiosity is curiosity, everyone is a person with a head and a face, how can they be embarrassed to ask this question in front of so many people.
So once one person can't help but ask, the others can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The saint also walked down curiously, the beating look, there was no royal calmness at all, and Yan Wushuang inadvertently saw the prime minister looking at the saint's deep gaze, and silently gave him some wax.
It is estimated that after the birthday banquet, the holy ceremonial banquet is particularly fast.
"This is a birthday cake, if you say it, it is also a pastry, but it can only be eaten on your birthday, which represents the arrival of the new year, happy and happy."
Yan Wushuang doesn't know the meaning of the birthday cake in detail, but it's okay to say a few sentences casually, as for the real meaning, no one knows, naturally no one can say it, what she says is what.
The saint went around the birthday cake, full of childishness: "Such a big pastry?"
"If you want to eat something smaller, I can make it for you in the future, but it's your birthday, so naturally you have to eat a big one." As he spoke, Yan Wushuang instructed the eunuch to light up the candles on it, and the cake looked even warmer.
"As an auspicious lottery, you need to blow it all out in one go, remember, you can't breathe in the middle, or it's unlucky." Yan Wushuang said seriously, and the saint listened seriously.
puffing out his cheeks and blowing them out in one go, the saint showed a satisfied smile.
"Okay, okay, close your eyes and make a wish, and the wish is said in your heart, you can't pronounce it, otherwise it won't work." According to Yan Wushuang's words, the saint obediently did so, and everyone watched intently, unconsciously the scene was very warm.
When everything was done, Yan Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, the first time he did this, he was a little unskilled, and it was also a normal thing, but fortunately, there were no accidents.
Asked people to take away the candles that were extinguished on it, Yan Wushuang picked up the long knife specially made next to him, long and narrow, which was prepared for specially cutting cakes.
"Okay, Your Majesty needs to cut the cake yourself now, you can give it to whoever you want, but there are so many people here, all of them have to be given, so you have to watch the point, so as not to overcut it, it won't be good if you don't have it."
How many people here have a good idea in their hearts, and start cutting according to Yan Wushuang's instructions, the first and largest piece was given to Yan Wushuang, Yan Wushuang's smiling eyes were crooked: "Thank you Lin'er, Lin'er has a happy birthday, be happy."
Next, the cakes were placed on small plates in turn and given to Wei Guogong and his wife, King Sheng, Zhan Ge, Tang Princess Zejun Wang, etc., and everyone was very interesting about the novelty of this ceremony.
The pastries in their hands, even if they are opened by the princess herself, there is no substitute, but they are the first to taste it.
They were shocked by the softness of the mouth, the softness of the bread, the sweetness of the chocolate with a hint of bitterness, and the surprise of the fruit layer inside.
Even Lord Wei Guogong, who doesn't pay attention to appetite, finished eating a piece of pastry in his hand, and he was very satisfied, the pastries on weekdays are too sweet and greasy, and the taste is a little unsuitable, which is his appetite.
Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge glanced at each other, and everything was silent.
This is the first time Yan Wushuang has done it here, so naturally he needs to try it in advance, and there are also failures.
It's delicious, but it's not very good-looking, but the people in the house have a kind of blind trust in what Mrs. does, and they don't care so much at all.
Of course, the gift can't just be this, Yan Wushuang also prepared one, that is, Lin'er's portrait, after filling in the color, it can be called lifelike.
Under the verdant bamboo forest, the saint wearing the Xuandi dragon pattern with a golden hair crown, slightly raised his head to look at the flowers in the corner, the arrogance and nobility between the eyebrows, the temperament of envy of others, handsome as the moon, has appeared peerless dignity.
Of course, in fact, there is no similar action in the saint, but it is done after the combination of imagination and reality, but looking at the effect, it is also very good.
This coming-of-age ceremony is the most special experience of the saint, although he has not seen much, the most impressive coming-of-age ceremony in his heart should be His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince of the year was the most trusted by the first emperor.
Who would have thought that in the end, he would be able to become the final winner.
After the cake is eaten, it is a sumptuous banquet, almost a carefully crafted table in the imperial dining room, unlike the usual banquet where these things are just made for a look, this banquet everyone has used it.
In the later stage of the banquet, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu proposed the matter after the election, looking up, he had never directly married into the queen, but it was a special situation now, and this matter was very important, and there was no room for sloppiness.
Shengshang frowned slightly, the good mood just now was swept away, and when he was about to speak, King Sheng said lazily: "Lord Shangshu, the Ministry of Rites does attach great importance to etiquette, but this matter after the election is very important, and this king and the king side by side have their own decisions."
"Yes, lord."
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu himself doesn't have a suitable daughter, but it's good to know that there is this result, at least there is hope.
This saint is now a lone seedling, and he doesn't have to rush to spread the branches.
This matter was originally nothing, but after saying that, the secretary of the military department seemed to disagree: "Lord, there is no hurry to do this after the election, do you want to put a few personal servants around Your Majesty?"
King Sheng glanced at him lightly, with some thoughts in his heart, but his face was not shocked: "The Holy One has just turned sixteen now, and it is the time when he needs to stand up, if the Holy Lord is strained because of your actions, can you bear the consequences?"
Seeing the appearance of the military department Shangshu bowing his head and being silent, King Sheng sneered all his life.
"This king can't afford it, after all, this throne is so hard, and the Holy One is just right. Lord Shangshu, is it because the affairs of the military department are not busy enough, or is it the reason? Makes you pay so much attention to the holy harem? ”
"The prince laughed, and the minister was also worried." The soldier's face was not good, but he hurriedly explained.
In the end, this is the birthday banquet of the saint, even if it is the end, King Sheng doesn't want to make it too ugly, he just nods and thinks it's over, but he also remembers this abnormality of King Sheng.
When the scene was a little cold, Yan Wushuang raised his glass with a smile: "Since it is in such a form, it doesn't have to be too formal, in the end, I wish Your Majesty a happy heart, at least anger those who want to make trouble."
This sentence, who the princess wants to contail, it is not clear that it can be said.
Everyone drank the wine in silence and left the palace one after another, as for what the mood was, it was their own business.
In the end, this big reversal, the saint was in a good mood, and Yan Wushuang was also able to feel a little relieved, and patiently gave a few words before leaving the palace.
The Holy Rite of Passage, although there are waves, is perfect.
