Chapter 751: Birthday Banquet (2)
Empress Pinsun took her eldest son, Yuzhang Gongzhong, and Princess Jinyang to talk about the East Palace, and everyone stepped forward to salute, and Li Rui, who Liu Yiyi had been watching, had also been behaving politely and did not make any trouble, so it didn't take long for Liu Yiyi to put this matter aside. Pack up your mood and concentrate on celebrating the birthday of the eldest grandson.
"Today is the birthday of the palace, because of the matter of the sister of the concubine, I don't want to be so extravagant" into the main hall, the eldest grandson queen sat down on the main seat, and after His Royal Highness everyone saluted and returned to their seats. Then he said: "I thought that I would just have a casual meal in the Lizheng Palace. How could they not resist the prince and Yuzhang in the end, they had to hold a banquet in this East Palace to celebrate, and they couldn't cover their filial piety, which made all relatives and friends laugh. ”
"The queen is serious!" The people present responded one after another.
"Queen Mother" Li Chengqian sat beside Empress Changsun, bowed her head and said to Empress Changsun: "Today is a period of great joy, and those unpleasant things should not be mentioned again. ”
As he spoke, Li Chengqian waved his hand at Li Qing, who was waiting on the side, and then said to Empress Changsun: "Some time ago, the ministers got a thing by chance, its color is gorgeous, its quality is pure, and the workmanship is also very exquisite, showing the posture of a dragon and phoenix, showing the meaning of wealth and elegance. ”
Taking the gift box from Li Qing's hand and gently opening it, Li Chengqian said in a loud voice: "In addition, Erchen has also heard about it. It is said that in addition to the exquisite and gorgeous appearance, this thing also has the effect of strengthening the body. If you can wear it from time to time. When it can prolong life and prolong life, all diseases will not be disturbed. It was his son who offered it as a birthday gift to his mother. May the mother be healthy and live longer than Nanshan. ”
"Oh? Is there such a strange thing in the world? Empress Eldest Sun was a little surprised, but she was not too polite to her son, and directly reached out and took the object in the prince's hand to take a closer look, and it was cool to start. The heart is calm, what is even more rare is that the color of this jade pendant is bright red and pleasant, and there is an indescribable joy inside and out, which is indeed a good baby.
"It's rare for my son to have such filial piety. This jade pendant was accepted by the palace. "The quality of the jade pendant is secondary, as the mother of a country, what treasures has the eldest grandson queen not seen? In the eyes of Empress Changsun, what she cares about most is her son's fist and heart.
"When the queen is lost on her mother's birthday, her sons have nothing to celebrate. Dedicated to the "Cedar Picture", I wish my mother a better life than a cedar"
"A jade Buddha, talk about your heart, may the queen mother live a long and happy life,"
"A flying phoenix and dragon hairpin, may the queen mother's body be healthy and her face will last forever"
Following the crown prince, several nearby princes and princesses, according to their identities and relatives, stepped forward to congratulate their birthdays. Sending congratulatory gifts, Empress Eldest Sun has always ordered people to accept the gifts one by one with a smile on her face.
"Qian'er. Why don't you see Mr. Bei by your side? Did you send someone to invite you? Looking around, seeing that all the people sitting around were princes and princesses, and they didn't see their own life-saving benefactor, Empress Changsun couldn't help but ask Li Chengqian beside her.
"This," Hearing his mother's question, Li Chengqian looked around, bent over and replied, "Back to his mother, Mr. Liu's sons have already been informed, and Mr. Liu has also readily agreed to the appointment, but he doesn't know that he is missing now."
"The Queen Mother. But this son knows. Seeing that Li Chengqian couldn't answer, Wu Mei had to come forward to relieve the siege, and after making a voice to attract the attention of Empress Changsun. He lowered his head slightly and replied: "As early as half an hour ago, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu had already arrived in the palace, and now they are sitting in His Royal Highness."
said. Wu Mei stretched out her hand and pointed lightly, leading the eyes of the eldest grandson queen and the princess to the position of His Royal Highness slightly near the door, and said, "Queen Mother, please see." Isn't it Mr. Liu who is sitting there drinking tea and laughing with his cousin? ”
"Oh?" Empress Eldest Sun's gaze wandered. When he saw that his life-saving benefactor and distinguished guest were now sitting in a humble position, his face suddenly became gloomy: "Who arranged the sitting, how can the benefactor of this palace be placed in a partial position?" ”
"I don't like this mother. Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer, and the matter of banquet seating has always been arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette. He didn't expect that the person who was in charge of the salute would put Liu Yiyi at the bottom.
"Queen Mother" saw Li Chengqian's dumb mouth. Wu Mei spoke again and said: "It's no wonder who is this, the banquet guests in the palace have always followed the etiquette, this order of the seat. There is also a difference between the monarch and the minister. Mr. Liu has no official position, and the other is not a royal family. Yes. The seats will appear to be lower. ”
"Huh?" Empress Eldest Sun is not an unreasonable person. As the mother of the country, she was very clear about the rules in the palace, and knew that what Wu Mei said was the truth, so she nodded lightly and said: "Mei Niang is right, this is the negligence of the palace, but Mr. Liu is the life-saving benefactor of the palace and the prince." It is a distinguished guest, and you must not leave your guest in the cold. ”
"Xiao Dezi, you go and invite Mr. Liu to sit beside the palace." said. Regardless of the reaction of the people below, Empress Changsun directly ordered Xiao Dezi to get out of the hall and walked straight to the direction where Liu Yiyi was behind. "It's a little dirty, and I didn't come to the front of the ridge to offer Bu He saw that the emperor and the emperor looked sideways, I don't know why the eldest grandson queen made her chief manager go directly down to the hall at this time.
"Mr. Liu" a few breaths of kung fu Xiao Dezi walked to the end of the main hall, stopped at the table where Liu Yiyi and the eldest grandson were located, respectfully transformed into a salute to Liu Yiyi, and said sharply: "Knowing that Mr. Liu has also arrived in the palace, the queen is happy in her heart, and the villain comes to invite Mr. Liu to the upper hall to chat, if Mr. Liu is fine, let the villain go." ”
"Uh, this, I'm afraid it's a bit impolite, right?" Seeing that the people in the hall all followed Xiao Dezi's behavior and focused their eyes on themselves, and saw that the eldest grandson queen also looked at him with an earnest face, Liu Yiyi's heart was hot, and he was somewhat moved.
"What's the matter, Young Master Ben is right. Auntie, her old man is the most affectionate, how could she watch her benefactor be left out in the cold? As he spoke, the eldest grandson got up and pulled up the willow with a smug face. said: "Don't stop this ink, my aunt is still waiting there, let's go." ”
Seeing that Liu Yiyi was called, the eldest grandson lost the interest of staying in this last position any longer, and directly pulled Liu Yiyi straight to the front of the hall and returned to the position that really belonged to him. "Auntie. This is the early summer season, and Zhuo'er deliberately refrigerated longevity peaches, bright red, crisp, sweet and delicious, in order to wish my aunt a long and prosperous life. From the person in charge of the etiquette system, he asked for his own gift, and the eldest grandson came forward to congratulate him on his birthday with a smile.
"Well, you little monkey head, you also have a heart, and you have been thinking about the birthday of this palace since early summer. It's not in vain that this palace has always loved you. In the winter, she could still see such a fresh and delicate longevity peach, and the eldest grandson queen couldn't help but feel very relieved, so she beckoned the eldest grandson to sit beside her.
"Heng, this kid is ingenious." Seeing that the eldest grandson took out the peaches, everyone in the palace was impressed in their hearts, but they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and remorseful, and kept the peaches until winter. Although it is not easy, as long as you have the heart, it is just a matter of spending some Xia Bing, and there are many royal relatives present. What house is missing these things? If they could have thought of it before, it would have been for the kid Eldest Sun Chuan to steal the limelight today.
"Xiaomin Liu Yiyi, I have seen the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince" After bending over and meeting the eldest grandson queen and the princes and princesses, Liu Yiyi was no longer hypocritical, and directly presented the birthday gift he prepared: "It coincides with the birthday of the mother, and I can't congratulate it." A pair of wine utensils and a pot of red wine were specially prepared to show respect, and I hope that the queen will not be disgusted. ”
"Barware? Red wine? Empress Changsun looked up at Liu Yiyi with interest, and said: "Mr.'s congratulatory gift is chic, but the palace has always been sick, and has always avoided alcohol, although the body is now very good, but has been following Mr.'s instructions, in recent years, it has not been a drop of wine, why is it that Mr. today is "Is it possible, this wine, this palace can drink?" ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, this wine is a new wine in Xiaomin's house, sweet taste, bright red color, often drunk and harmless to the body, Niangniang can drink." I was going to make a few advertising words, but as soon as I thought about what kind of place it was, the words that just came to my mouth and swallowed them into my stomach.
"Oh? In that case, Hongu will have to taste it for himself. Seeing that Liu Yiyi seemed to have the intention of promoting their winery, the eldest grandson queen did not expose it, let alone blame, she knew. If the wine was not good, Liu Yijie would not come out to offer ugliness on such an occasion, thus smashing their own signboard, so they cooperated very well to let the gift box be opened.
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? ”
Open the gift box, a white paper cover on the cup and pot, a "Liangzhou words" with a neat Song style jumped on the paper, black and white two fonts open and close. Arrogant.
"The sadness does not cover the heroic spirit of the sky, if the emperor sees this poem, he will raise a cup and drink it." As Liu Yiyi expected, Empress Changsun was soon quoted by this poem: "No matter what the quality of this wine is, but this poem alone is enough to make it famous for eternity." ”
What advertisement lasts longer than a well-known or even famous poem? The purpose of Liu Yiyi's operation today is to think of them as soon as someone sings this "Liangzhou Ci" in the future, Liu's Wine Workshop. of grape wines.
The next thing is much smoother, as the eldest grandson queen said, there is this wine poem as a foreshadowing. It's how bad the grape wine offered by Liu Yiyi is. There will be no one to single out any reason. What's more, the wine made by the Liu family is a rare wine?
"The poetry is good, and the wine is not bad, compared to the brews of the Western Regions, the taste is a hundred times better." This is the unanimous evaluation of the eldest grandson queen and the princess of Yigan after drinking.
At this point, Sanyuan Liufu has another way to make money.
