Tongtian Dao Master smiled and said: "The secret is naturally the elixir refined by the Poor Dao, although it is not said to be comparable to the heavens of longevity, but it can prolong life. ”

The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, there is really an elixir of immortality in this world. ”

The chief of the Heavenly Dao smiled and bowed his head.

The emperor laughed, and slapped his thigh with excitement: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Dao Chief, can you refine a furnace of elixir for me? ”

Tongtian Dao Chief said, "Naturally. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his robe and said, "The poor road is in a hurry to go down the mountain, and he can only refine a bottle of pill, and this bottle of pill is called the Pill of Forgetting Worries." As long as you eat one, all the sorrows in the world will disappear, and you will live as happily as a fairy. ”

He looked at the emperor and said loudly: "This bottle of elixir will be presented to the emperor to congratulate the emperor on your birthday." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed: "Then I thank you very much." He sent his father-in-law to put away the bottle of Forgetting Worries Pill, and said, "Today is my birthday, and the Taoist chief has presented such a precious elixir, so I will give the Taoist chief ten thousand taels of gold as a thanks." ”

The Taoist Governor of Tongtian refused: "The poor Dao is a monk, and gold is just a mundane thing in the poor Dao, and the emperor does not need to be polite." ”

The words of the chief of Tongtian Dao who regarded money as dung made the emperor look up to him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world!

So the emperor changed his words: "It is better for the Taoist to sit beside me and enjoy tonight's banquet together, in the future, I still have a lot of things to discuss with the Taoist chief." ”

When the Taoist chief heard this, his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The smile in the emperor's eyes deepened: "Come on, give a seat!" He looked at Shang Jinyu again: "Prince, you like it very much, what do you like?" I will give it to you. ”

Shang Jinyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and his afterglow swept towards Bai Xueyao, who was sitting next to the third prince, as if inadvertently, Bai Xueyao found it, his body stiffened, and his face was pale.

Shang Shaoyong keenly sensed that Bai Xueyao was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "But it's uncomfortable?" ”

Bai Xueyao shook her head: "The concubine is fine." ”

Shang Jinyu retracted his gaze and said to the emperor: "The ministers don't ask for anything, they just hope that Ama can be happy, and the ministers there are also happy." ”

The emperor's heart warmed slightly: "I know your filial piety." Go back and sit down. ”

"Yes." Shang Jinyu smiled and returned to his place.

"Happy birthday? What does that mean? The emperor asked curiously.

Bai Xueyao smiled: "Your Majesty, this is Xue'er's hometown dialect." Everyone uses this phrase to bless the people who have passed their birthdays. ”

"I see." The emperor looked at Bai Xueyao with great kindness, and asked with a smile, "What kind of song are you singing?" How come I've never heard of it? ”

Bai Xueyao replied: "Back to Amma, this piece was arranged and composed by Xue'er herself. It's called "I Wish People Were Long". ”

The emperor originally had a guess in his heart, but he didn't expect to guess correctly! He exclaimed: "What a "I Wish People Were Long"! You are worthy of being the daughter of the Taishi, and your talents are all with the Taishi, so good! This piece is beautifully arranged, do you have any other tunes besides this song? ”

Bai Xueyao was praised, and hurriedly said: "The emperor loves to listen to the tunes made up by Xue'er, which is a blessing that Xue'er has cultivated in several lifetimes, Xue'er wrote a few tunes in private, and Xue'er handed them over to the musicians in the palace when she turned around, but Xue'er is only a shallow learner and does not do well, and I hope Ama will forgive me." ”

The emperor saw Bai Xueyao so modest and smiled: "You don't have to be presumptuous, the sentence 'I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together' written in you is not something that ordinary people can write." ”

Bai Xueyao was embarrassed to be praised, and her face turned red: "Ama praised it, it was all taught by my father." After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Actually, there is something that Xue'er doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

The queen saw that the third daughter-in-law made the emperor happy, and she was unhappy: "Third princess, you can just say anything, doesn't the emperor let you say it?" ”

Bai Xueyao said with a smile: "There is a custom in my hometown, if someone has a birthday, everyone must sing a song together to wish each other a birthday. Today is Amma's birthday, and I want to sing to Amma. ”

"Okay, you can sing it to me."

Bai Xueyao was delighted, she blessed her body and said: "Then I will be ugly, this song is a few words back and forth, simple and easy to remember, if the adults present can, sing along with Xue'er." This is a blessing to Amma. ”

After speaking, she clapped her palms and sang, "Happy birthday to you!" Happy Birthday to you~ Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you! ”

The melody of this "Birthday Song" is simple, the lyrics are just one sentence, and after she repeats it a few times, the ministers present will basically sing it. I don't know who started and sang along, like a contagion. The ministers around him also sang along to the beat, and for a while, the whole song was sung in a heartfelt way, sounding very lively, and the whole scene was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After Bai Xueyao led everyone to sing the whole song, she finally said to the emperor: "Xue'er wishes Ama a happy birthday again, all the best, every year is like today, and her life is better than Nanshan." ”

The emperor laughed, and his love for Bai Xueyao deepened: "Sing well!" Well sung! He looked at Shang Shaoyong, whose face had eased down on the side, and said, "Third child, you have married a good daughter-in-law!" ”

Shang Shaoyong looked at Bai Xueyao with a smile, and he was honored.

The emperor looked at Cheng Bowen and his wife sitting at the bottom and said, "Master Cheng, you have a very good daughter." ”

After hearing this, Cheng Bowen also showed a proud smile on his face. Xue'er, this girl can give him a long face today.

After Bai Xueyao and Shang Shaoyong finished their gifts, they returned to their positions.

In the end, only Shang Jinnan was left without gifts, and all the princesses and princes had finished their gifts.

Shang Jinnan stood up and calmly walked in front of the emperor.

Because the emperor met Shang Jinnan in the summer resort before, he knew that he would bless him with a lion dance at the birthday banquet, and he was quite looking forward to it, but now he saw that Shang Jinnan was just alone, and he was wearing ordinary clothes, not at all like preparing for a lion dance, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

The queen has always been haunted by what happened in the summer resort before, she looked at Shang Shaoyong and said sarcastically: "Fourth, didn't you say that you would present a lion dance for the emperor before?" The emperor and I have been looking forward to your performance, why haven't I seen the lion dance now? ”

Shang Jinnan said with a smile: "I, I originally planned to give Amma a lion dance, but didn't Ama see it that day, and there was no surprise when I saw it." So I want to send something else to Amma. ”

When the emperor heard this, he asked with great interest, "Fourth, what do you want to give to me?" ”

Shang Jinnan didn't answer, he turned around and shouted in the air, "You can send it up." ”

Under everyone's curious gaze, several little eunuchs came up with a table.

Everyone: Meow meow? What's going to be done?

The next development became even more mysterious, and the little eunuch also brought up a pot and a large copper plate.

In addition, there is a small stove and a large colander.

Hey, what does the fourth prince want to do? Cook?!

Shang Shaoyong rolled up his sleeves, revealing two sturdy arms. Yes, since he came here, Shang Jinnan has insisted on exercising every day, and now he has achieved some results, at least the flesh on his arms is a lot stronger, and he doesn't have the same meat as before.

In front of everyone, he poured a bowl of flour into the copper plate in a dashing manner, then added a small bowl of water, and waved the power of his unicorn arm to toss the flour in the copper plate vigorously, and after a while, the flour inside had been kneaded into a dough by him.

Then came the main event!

I saw him grab the ends of the dough with both hands and smash it vigorously on the table, the chubby dough slowly turned into a strip under his beating, he folded the dough and repeated the beating, after a few times, the dough became longer and longer, almost into wisps of noodles.

Although it looked quite simple, everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the slender noodles appear.

Shang Shaoyong held the noodles in his hand with one hand, and with the other hand uncovered the pot that had already been boiling, and put the noodles in. A burst of heat came out of the pot.

Shang Shaoyong took a colander and quickly scooped up the noodles and put them in a bowl with chicken soup on the side.

Then he put the bowl of noodles into the tray, and he walked up to the emperor with the tray in both hands and said, "Amma, this is the longevity noodles I made for you, you can taste it." His originally smooth face looked silly when he laughed because the flour had been on his face when he had just kneaded the noodles.

But the emperor has a warm current in his heart, which spreads throughout his body and mind.

This is the longevity noodles that his emperor personally made for him.

He stood up, walked over, and personally took the bowl of noodles from Shang Jinnan's hand, carefully and preciously, as if this bowl of noodles was some precious treasure.

Judging from the emperor's reaction, everyone knows that there are so many gifts from princes and princesses, and the emperor's favorite is this simple bowl of longevity noodles.

Everyone can't help but regret that if the four princes were not born with dementia, with the thoughtful actions of the four princes, I am afraid that the distribution of rights in the imperial capital will have another major reshuffle.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the fourth child really has a heart. ”

The emperor showed a fatherly smile, and he said incomparably dotingly: "The fourth child has always been the most filial. As soon as these words came out, the princes and princesses present did not look very good.

Does Amma mean that they are not as filial as a demented child? It's just a bowl of cheap noodles, is it comparable to the immortal medicine Night Pearl and Tian Yu that they worked so hard to find?!

They were not convinced, but they had to hold on.

The emperor didn't care about the crooked words in the hearts of his children, he held chopsticks in his hand, picked up the slender noodles in the bowl, and ate them in one bite. This noodle is naturally not as good as the imperial chef who usually has excellent cooking skills, but it is the most delicious noodle that the emperor thinks he has ever eaten in his life.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed that this bowl of noodles was actually from the hands of the fourth child.

"Is it delicious?" Shang Jinnan looked at the emperor expectantly.

The emperor smiled and said: "Delicious, this is the most delicious noodle I have ever tasted, fourth, how can you make such delicious noodles?" ”

Shang Jinnan smiled modestly: "Hehe, Amma, I'm going to learn from Uncle Lin." ”

Who is Uncle Lim? The emperor was puzzled in his heart.

Seeing that Shang Jinnan was originally sitting in the position, Cheng Bingling stood up and added with a smile: "Back to the emperor, Uncle Lin is the imperial chef in the palace. ”

The emperor was stunned, and then heard Cheng Bingling explain: "Since returning from the summer resort, the prince has always wanted to surprise the emperor, once, he heard that there is a custom among the people, ordinary people will eat a bowl of longevity noodles on their birthdays, this longevity noodles, is a very long noodle, can not be broken, otherwise the meaning is not good, in order to make this bowl of longevity noodles, the prince has been practicing hard for several days." It has only succeeded today. ”

After hearing this, the emperor took another look at the longevity noodles in the bowl, and sure enough, it was a long noodle, he knew that his emperor had always been pampered, where did he have cooking experience. To practice this noodle, how much suffering the fourth child has to suffer.
