Chapter 22: Birth

"Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, it was too hurried to ......" In a blink of an eye, a spring has passed.

I don't know if it's for this declining spring scene or something else, the prime minister's wife has been very injured recently, but only the prime minister understands that there is more than a month to the durian moon, and it will be Jiuyao's birthday. If in ordinary people, their daughter's birthday must be a happy day, but every birthday since Jiuyao's birth, they are not only happy, but also have indescribable helplessness and reluctance in their hearts. Now that Huan Jiuyao's seventh birthday is approaching, and he is about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can the Prime Minister's wife be happy?

In the final analysis, this was also their choice, but after all, it was a helpless move at the time, both of them are exquisite and ingenious people, and the interests must be thought through, but how can this be compared with the parting feeling and reluctance to give up on their daughter? If it weren't for many considerations, how could they be willing to let their daughter leave home alone?

"Madame, don't worry any more. Since we promised our predecessors, we should have expected that there would be this day, and we can only hope that Jing'er will be well taken care of after she leaves us. In fact, if it weren't for the senior's efforts to save us, we wouldn't have been able to keep Jing'er by our side for seven years. Besides, in the future, Jing'er will come back to Xiangfu after all! Now all we should do is to prepare for Jing'er's birthday this time, and we don't have too many regrets! Seeing that Mrs. Huan was sad alone, she hurriedly put her hands around her shoulders and soothed her softly.

"Well, that's all there is to it. Then I'll start preparing a birthday banquet for Jing'er now. Before Jing'er leaves, I will want her to spend this birthday happily! As she spoke, the Prime Minister's wife looked at Huan Xiang with a determined expression.

"Madame thought so, and I was relieved." Huan Xiang sighed, thinking that only now he could find something to do for his wife, and maybe he could suspend her sorrows.

For several days, the Prime Minister's wife was inviting people to make new clothes of various styles and colors for Jiu Yao, and even specially asked people to collect a bunch of rare and unique gadgets, so that in the end, Jiu Yao finally couldn't hold back and said to the Prime Minister's wife: "Mother, there is no shortage of anything in our house, I have enough clothes and toys, you don't need to buy me any more, if you are interested, you should make yourself a few more clothes and choose a few sets of jewelry!" ”

"You stupid boy, aren't you happy to give you something from your mother? Do you think none of this is good enough or you don't like it? It's okay, if you like something, tell your mother, and your mother will let people find it for you. The Prime Minister's wife looked at Jiu Yao dotingly when she heard this, and reached out and gently touched her hair, which was very gentle.

"No, I like whatever my mother gives, but I can't use it so much, isn't it all a waste?"

"How come, my mother wants to give Jing'er the best things in the world......"

"Mother, Jing'er doesn't need the best things in the world, as long as Daddy, Mother-in-law and Jing'er, our family has been together all the time It's the best for Jing'er!" Jiu Yao said and slowly leaned his head on the Prime Minister's laps, letting the Prime Minister's wife stroke her hair, enjoying the warmth of this moment very much.

"Okay, okay, our family has always been together......" The prime minister's wife looked at her daughter's well-behaved appearance, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes and choked up as she spoke.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? But what did Jing'er say wrong? Jiu Yao hurriedly raised his head to look at the prime minister's wife when he heard this, and asked with great concern.

"It's okay, Jing'er didn't say anything wrong, my mother was just very pleased, Jing'er has grown up, so well-behaved and obedient......" The prime minister's wife was busy wiping away her tears and forced a smile.

"Hehe, Jing'er will always listen to her mother!" Jiu Yao hugged the prime minister's wife and looked at her very seriously.

"Okay, our Jing'er has always been a good daughter of my mother......"

Soon the moon has arrived, and this day is Jiuyao's birthday.

The prime minister's wife handed invitations to the ladies of almost all the famous and noble families in Beijing, and even personally entered the palace to invite the queen mother to attend the birthday banquet in the evening. Many ministers who were good with the prime minister of the DPRK and the central government also came together, and naturally, there were many people who had the heart to cling to the powerful.

When she got up this morning, the prime minister's wife took someone to Jiuyao's courtyard early in the morning and personally dressed her up. The Prime Minister's wife is really a pair of skillful hands, after dressing up for Jiu Yao, Chu Ya looked at her and kept praising "Miss is so beautiful, Madam still has such good craftsmanship", even Chu Yun showed a smile of admiration.

Before the dinner began, the Queen Mother had already arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance and took this opportunity to talk to her daughter, and it was not until the banquet was about to start that together with a group of women in Wuyang, she saw Jiuyao who was late in the open hall, and hurriedly called her granddaughter to her side. Jiuyao was followed by Chu Yun Chu Ya, dressed in a pink dress, with a smile on his face, and a full gait, which was very pleasing, which made the Queen Mother laugh "Flowers bloom all over in autumn".

The Queen Mother patted Jiuyao's hand and said softly: "Jing'er, she is one year older, and she will be a big girl soon." ”

"Grandma Huang, thank you for coming to Jing'er's birthday banquet, Jing'er knew that Grandma Huang was coming early in the morning and began to get excited, and she was very happy!" Jiuyao smiled, revealing two sweet pear vortices.

"Okay, the imperial grandmother is also happy, you girl is still sweet-mouthed! Come, this gold silk jade bracelet was given to your imperial grandmother by the first emperor, and I have worn it for many years, so I will give it to you today as a birthday gift. The Queen Mother said as she took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and was about to put it on Jiu Yao.

"Grandma Huang, this can't be helped. Jing'er is still a child, such a valuable jade bracelet, since it was given to the emperor's grandmother by the first emperor, it is even more significant, how can you give it to Jing'er easily? Besides, you've already sent so many gifts to Jing'er, haven't you? Jiuyao hurriedly shirked when he heard this.

"It's okay, how can those things be compared to what Grandma Huang personally gave you? The imperial grandmother thinks that Jing'er can afford this jade bracelet, so what can't be given? ”

"Mother, help Jing'er persuade the emperor's grandmother!" Jiu Yao looked up at the Prime Minister's wife, his face full of helplessness and anxiety.

"Jing'er, if your imperial grandmother insists on giving it to you, then you can accept it, after all, it is also your imperial grandmother's kindness." Unexpectedly, the prime minister's wife not only did not stand on Jiuyao's side, but helped the queen mother.

"That's right, Jing'er, do you see how obedient your mother is? Grandma Huang knows that you are a good boy who is knowledgeable, but you also have to listen to adults, don't you? Come, the imperial grandmother will put it on for you personally. As she spoke, the Queen Mother raised Jiu Yao's white and tender little hand, and easily put the jade bracelet that was one size bigger into Jiu Yao's wrist.

"Then, then Jing'er will thank the imperial grandmother." Jiuyao blessed his body and bowed and thanked him.

"Huang'er, you see that you have taught Jing'er this child too sensible, such a cute little girl, I don't think any of the pampered princesses in the palace can compare with her!" The Queen Mother glanced at Jiuyao and smiled and joked with the Prime Minister's wife, full of appreciation between her words.

"Queen Mother, you really hurt me and Jing'er when you say this, the princesses are all golden branches and jade leaves, dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, how can Jing'er compare with them!" The Prime Minister's wife was modest, but her words were still full of pride......

This birthday banquet is not lively, but few people know about it, and the host of this banquet will be far away from home and away from the capital......
