"The emperor praised it falsely, I think this big gift prepared by Ji Gongzi and Mrs. Ji is really a big gift, I heard that Mrs. Ji Young has worked hard a lot for this matter, although this gift looks small, but it will definitely surprise the emperor."

Gu Qin did not belittle this gift, but directly praised them very highly, in this way, the gift given by Ji Jiuhua is good, then he also praised it in place, if virtue is not worthy, it will be up to the emperor to judge it himself.

"The emperor will naturally like the gifts given by our husband and wife, but these things are left to the emperor to appreciate."

After Su Manxue finished speaking, she put this box in an empty space on the table in front of the emperor.

They are relatively early, they are not stacked together, this antique little box, in a pile of gold, silver and jade, is not so conspicuous, but has infinite charm.

"This meager gift, I hope the emperor likes it, and I wish the emperor a long life, a healthy dragon, and a prosperous country."

After Su Manxue and Ji Jiuhua finished saluting, they didn't care what Gu Qin thought, so they wouldn't open their gift box because of Gu Qin's provocation in a few words.

After all, let everyone be finished, only by being mysterious enough can the emperor feel more curious about this gift.

Sure enough, even if the emperor wanted to open the wooden box very much, he didn't open it in front of the civil and military officials now, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor's eyes would occasionally sweep over the wooden box now.

After that, everyone's gifts to the emperor were not so exquisite or rich, which was also related to their officials and money.

The people who gave the gifts first were naturally some dignitaries, and then there were some small households, and the gifts they gave were even more inconspicuous, although they did, those gifts still did their best.

After all the gifts were given, the emperor took out the small box given by Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue alone, and he knew that everyone had a lot of complaints about the two of them.

After all, the box doesn't look atmospheric, so it leaves a handle on others, Su Manxue and Ji Jiuhua don't have any opinions, and they don't mean to explain.

But the emperor intends to let Ji Jiuhua's forces come up and compete with the Pingyang Palace, so he must not let the reputation of the Ji family be ruined first.

"Well, Zhong Aiqing is not very curious about what Ji Jiuhua sent to me, no matter what he and his wife sent, I have my mind here."

The emperor first expressed his attitude, saying that he was on the side of Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue, and sure enough, the doubts below suddenly became much smaller.

After all, even the emperor doesn't have any opinions, so what's the use of them complaining now? No matter how good the things they send, what's the use of not getting into the eyes of the emperor.

But there are still some people who are not convinced, after all, they have put a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to carefully figure out what the emperor needs.

But the emperor seems to like this too, and he likes that too, or that he is almost the same, except for Ji Jiuhua's gift, his heart is full of curiosity.

"The emperor just needs to open it and look at it, this object still needs to be protected, the emperor is such a talented person, I believe that it is naturally sent to the right person."

Ji Jiuhua saluted respectfully, according to normal times, Su Manxue would naturally make this kind of thing clear for Ji Jiuhua, after all, Ji Jiuhua doesn't like to talk too much.

But on this occasion, the etiquette is still thorough, and at this time, there is no place for his wife to speak, and Ji Jiuhua is what he says.

Su Manxue still has a clear distinction between showing herself, at this time, he doesn't need to be strong, but gives everyone the idea that she is too strong.

So in the expectation of everyone, the emperor slowly opened the wooden box, only to see a picture scroll lying quietly inside.

The emperor had already seen the special features on the scroll before he opened it, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, this time the gifts given by Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue were indeed sent to his heart.

The painter he liked would not only mark the painting after he finished it, but also carved his own traces on the scroll.

On that painting scroll, there are five traces of horizontal and vertical interlacing, the emperor has loved it for a long time, and at this moment you can know whose handwriting it is from.

Although the emperor already liked it very much, he still made a look of not being surprised.

As the emperor, he shouldn't have any big joy or anger, especially on this occasion, but the expression on his face was enough to prove that he liked this gift very much.

The emperor was a little reluctant to open this painting scroll on such an occasion, which is also a kind of harm to the painting, even if this damage is minimal, but in the emperor's heart, this picture scroll is so important.

"This painting was really painted by my favorite artist. And he has been dead for a long time, and this painting can be regarded as a one-of-a-kind posthumous work. ”

If this painter is still alive, the emperor naturally wants to invite him into the palace and paint more beautiful paintings for himself.

But it's a pity that this artist has been dead for a long time, and he has no such opportunity, so he can only rely on his remaining paintings that have been handed down to the world to remember.

That's why the emperor was very excited when he saw the few paintings he had handed down.

"I'll take this painting back and enjoy it again, let's move on first."

The emperor was already a little distracted at this time, but he had to wait until his birthday was over before he could go back and finish the painting.

Gu Qin looked at the current scene and knew that he had already lost, even if he tried to sow discord once before, but the emperor had choked all his little slippery head.

At this moment, the emperor even threw out an olive branch and took the initiative to see the gifts given by Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue, but the gifts they gave were very much in line with the emperor's wishes.

It was not the same as Gu Qin originally guessed, he originally thought that Su Manxue and Ji Jiuhua would send such a small box, which must not be a particularly precious thing.

Unexpectedly, the two of them found an extremely suitable entry point to appease the emperor and make him happy.

Not only did Gu Qin see the emperor, but this attitude was also eager to beat his chest, knowing that the emperor liked antiques, calligraphy and paintings, they could also prepare, and what they sent was some gold, silver and jade, and the emperor also felt that they had nothing new.

But it had come to this point, and there was no chance to make any more changes, so everyone began to continue the feast.

The emperor's birthday banquet is very grand, but the ingredients and dishes used are not particularly valuable, in order to show that the emperor is honest and honest. So although the pomp is relatively large, it is still very frugal in terms of dishes.

Thrifty is thrifty, but the taste of every dish at the banquet is not bad, and it can be seen that the level of the imperial dining room is superb, Su Manxue has tasted a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas even on weekdays, and now she is also interested in this level. Praise.
