Chapter 203: Birthday Ceremony

Weiyang Palace, Jiaofang Palace, is the exclusive palace of the queens of the past dynasties. The front hall of the www.biquge.info Pavilion is where the queen receives the prince, relatives and internal officials; The back cabinet is the queen's bedroom, and you can't enter unless you are the son of heaven.

At this moment, the queen Wang Zhengjun was sitting on the soft mat couch with a sad face, holding her forehead and saying nothing. The maid behind him stood or knelt, and no one dared to make the slightest sound. A singing salute came from outside the hall: "The prince comes in." ”

Queen Wang put down her hand and looked uplifted: "My son is here." ”

The maids behind him took this opportunity to exhale quietly.

Queen Wang waved her sleeves: "Remove the curtain." The maids hurriedly rolled up the beaded curtains.

When the queen receives relatives and internal officials, she usually asks questions, but there is no need to do this to her son.

The crown prince Liu Biao bowed respectfully under the bed and said, "The child bows to the queen mother." ”

"Emperor, please get up." The queen looked at her only son with a smile on her face. There is no mother who does not love her son, let alone that she is a real mother who values her son. If it weren't for this son, she wouldn't be a queen, she wouldn't even be the lowest concubine, and she might not be swept to any corner of the court.

Liu Biao bowed and stood up: "I don't know if the queen mother has an order to summon her sons to see her?" ”

Queen Wang stretched out her well-maintained palm from her sleeve and fanned it gently. The maids bowed down and withdrew until they were outside the main hall, and the door of the hall was closed heavily.

Queen Wang stood up from the low couch, stretched out her wide sleeves, and slowly walked down the danqi. Liu Biao hurriedly climbed a few steps, lightly supported his mother's back sleeve arm, and escorted down.

Queen Wang gently patted the back of her son's hand, sighed with satisfaction, and said with a sad face: "Your father's birthday is coming, have you ever thought about a birthday gift?" ”

Liu Biao said respectfully: "Erchen has been prepared. ”

Queen Wang didn't expect her son to answer so numbly, in previous years, it was a birthday ceremony, and the two of them had a headache to death.

The most difficult gift in the world is probably the birthday gift that the prince presented to the emperor: it is necessary to show filial piety, but also not to fall into the clichΓ©, too expensive (there is a suspicion of luxury), too cheap to do...... That's a dilemma.

"Emperor, you have to think about it - I saw that Fu Zhaoyi yesterday, she casually talked about the birthday ceremony, and she seemed to be concerned, but I looked at her expression, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and she was very complacent, as if she was saying......" Queen Wang stopped and looked sideways at her son, full of worry, "As if to say, this time, we are going to be compared to King Jiyang again." ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Liu Biao's eyes, the emperor's brother has always won the favor of his father, and whatever he sends can make his father feel happy. On the occasion of his father's birthday last year, the emperor's younger brother was on the top of the main hall, before the monarch and ministers, and performed the Himaru drum throwing, which won a round of applause. In the end, the emperor's younger brother also presented the two gold pills as a birthday gift to his father, and his father, the dragon face was happy, but he didn't even look at the pair of dragon-shaped white walls he offered......

"Emperor, have you thought about it? What kind of birthday gift do you want to give this time? ”

Liu Biao pulled back from the memories, took a deep breath, let go of the queen mother's hand, and took a deep look: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the son is fully prepared this time, even if he can't compare to the king of Jiyang, he will not be weaker than him." ”

"Oh? The emperor said, what is it? Seeing that her son was so determined, Queen Wang suddenly became interested.

"The queen mother will wait for a while, and the sons will go back when they go."

……

A moment later, an attendant who specialized in serving the queen hurriedly walked on the curved silhouette with a food box in his hand. When he was about to arrive at the Jiaofang Palace, he saw Fu Zhaoyi coming with the palace maids. The waiter couldn't dodge, and hurriedly hung his head and stood aside.

Fu Zhaoyi walked slowly by.

The waiter took a light breath, lifted the food box, and was about to leave, when a cold voice suddenly sounded: "What is in the box?" Where are you going? ”

The attendant hurriedly knelt down: "The slave maid is on the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to offer food to the queen." ”

"Prince? Offerings? Fu Zhaoyi looked left and right, and said suspiciously, "Where is the prince?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just met Zhongshu Ling, so he stopped talking."

"Why don't you wait for the prince?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the food should be kept hot and not delayed, so the slaves and maids should go first."

Fu Zhaoyi walked slowly, looked at the food box, his eyes flashed, and his voice suddenly turned sharp: "Since entering the palace, I have never heard the prince offering food to the queen. Something is wrong, how can you not doubt it? Open the food box! ”

The waiter didn't dare to say anything, and in the end he was forced to open the food box, and inside was a jade bowl.

"Open!"

"The slave really doesn't dare to ......," the attendant had already knelt down.

Fu Zhaoyi hesitated, finally gritted her teeth, and scolded the maid while winking: "You ****, what you say is not true, it is suspicious." The queen is the lord of the harem, how noble the phoenix body is, how can she enter the unknown and innocent food......"

As she spoke, the maid formed her five fingers into claws and buckled the lid of the bowl......

"Fu Zhaoyi is slow."

As soon as she heard this voice, the maid's hand suddenly froze, and Fu Zhaoyi immediately turned around with a gentle smile on her face.

Liu Biao bowed slightly: "The things contained in this food box are indeed after I entered the dedication to my mother, and Lao Zhaoyi asked." ”

Fu Zhaoyi said movingly: "The prince's filial piety is admirable. Alas! I just can't do it, and I have never offered food to my mother. I have to summon him to the palace, and let him learn from the crown prince. ”

Liu Biao didn't even dare to say anything, no one mentioned anything about it, as if it hadn't happened.

Looking at the distant back of Fu Zhaoyi and his entourage, Liu Biao exhaled a breath of turbidity, and secretly said that it was dangerous. This is the basis for him to turn over the battle, everyone can know, but Fu Zhaoyi can't know it.

Jiaofang Palace, when Liu Biao opened the lid of the jade bowl with his own hands, Queen Wang was full of three breaths, what is this? Well? It smells so good!

Under Liu Biao's repeated urging, Queen Wang subconsciously picked up a small piece of oil yellow and put it in her mouth, and the oil fragrance overflowed in the creaking sound. Queen Wang's phoenix eyes are getting wider and wider, and she looks like a blue-clothed female judge in "God of Food".

"This ...... What is it? How? ”

"Fry the small yellow croaker, coat it in hot oil, and fry it on an iron plate."

"Iron plate?"

"What does the Queen Mother think?"

"Although there are some ...... But it's pretty good. ”

Liu Biao sighed and asked again: "Does the queen mother think that my father will like it?" ”

Queen Wang's eyes widened: "This is your birthday gift?" ”

Liu Biao said: "There are more than ten dishes, each with its own flavor, unique, and the sons will present their mothers one by one to taste." These dishes are liked by the ministers, and the queen mother also thinks they are good, so presumably the father will like them too. ”

The queen nodded lightly while chewing, thoughtful: "Your Majesty has always had a bad appetite and has very little food, if you use this as a birthday gift, it may really have a miraculous effect...... However, it seems that something is missing......"

Liu Biao was stunned, what is missing?
