It was even deeper, the winter night seemed to be extraordinarily long, and the hearts of the two people were getting closer and closer in the collision again and again, and afterwards Lan Yi whimpered for a while, hugged Wei Changjue and sighed, "Now, we have everything, and we have one less child." ”

Wei Changjue smiled heavily, "But I see, you're still a child." ”

Lan Yi was angry and hid his burning face in his arms, "I'm not a child anymore, once this year passes, I'm a year older." ”

Wei Changjue asked, "Grown up?" ”

"Grown up, really grown up."

"Where did you grow up...... Wei Changjue didn't finish a word, he was hit by Lan Yi for a while, so he had to hold back the second half of his son, and only said, "Then for the sake of the heir, it's time to work harder." ”

"Ouch, don't ......"

The firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve exploded in mid-air one after another, as if lighting up the night into day, and the people of the capital have become accustomed to keeping the New Year, staying awake all night, children laughing and laughing, covering their ears and stretching out their hands, carefully ordering artillery battles, this sound faintly spread to King Gong's mansion, giving everyone a sense of peace of mind in the country.

When she got up the next morning, Ning Fu was the first to go into the main house to clean up, and when she saw the messy appearance, she gave Lan Yi a New Year's greeting with a red face, Lan Yi was also very embarrassed, but today she had to enter the palace as soon as possible, there was no time to waste, and she rewarded the broken silver that she had prepared before, and went out with Wei Changjue.

In the next few days, they were all busy, although the emperor hung the seal during the Chinese New Year, but the war at the border pass was not completely over, someone had to stare at those trivial details, Wei Changjue would occasionally go out to do errands, and more often, he would take Lan Yi together and reunite with his clansmen. The relationships that usually can't go are all moving in such a special season.

And most importantly, Halloween has finally arrived.

On this day, God appreciated his face, the sun jumped out of the sea of clouds in the east early in the morning, and when he arrived at the Forbidden Palace, it was even more blue sky, and there was not a trace of clouds, Lan Yi followed behind Wei Changjue, saluted when he saw people, greeted back and forth, and maintained the demeanor of the royal daughter-in-law with every gesture, and his face could not show fatigue, which was really hard.

Fortunately, Wei Changjue felt sorry for her, and always asked her to go to the warm pavilion to rest for a while under the pretext of changing clothes, until the emperor and queen arrived and the banquet officially began, Lan Yi came back and sat with the concubines.

The Hallolive Festival is really important, although the queen is already very poor at these times, she still let people cook ginseng soup and take it in advance, supporting this spirit, but she can also sit for a while in the banquet.

Concubine Pei Shu's miscarriage is now known to everyone in the palace, because it is not surprising that Pei Gui will be appointed as a squire in the military department in the middle of this year, and Concubine Ying is still acting on the surface, and the conversation is quite relevant.

And on this day, Wei Changze and Mu Hesheng seemed to be reconciled, and there were often smiles between husband and wife, and in the matter of Pei Miaoqing, they also agreed that Concubine Pei Shu accidentally fell by herself, and the people of Yuwangfu must take good care of her these days and help take good care of her body.

Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw their appearance, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he didn't say anything about Wei Changze in front of Mu Hesheng is eyes, otherwise he would have added a crime of provoking.

On the natural banquet, the most important thing is to send a birthday gift, the flattery on weekdays is too obvious, only on this day, no matter what is sent, it is a piece of the emperor's heart, in order, Su Wang Wei Changqi and his wife Song Yanrong are the first to present the birthday gift, they took out a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and slowly opened it in front of the emperor.

This picture was painted by a famous teacher, and it was not impossible to draw it in a month or two, and it was obvious that it had been carefully started very early, and the emperor was naturally happy and praised a few words.

But this kind of thing has long appeared in the longevity banquets of the past few decades, and the most powerful one is the one that Ying Guifei took a few palace maids from the embroidery room at that time, and worked day and night to embroider it. Comparatively speaking, what Wei Changqi presents now can only be said to be beautiful, but there is nothing new.

Down is Qi Wang Wei Changyuan and his wife Xiao Huayin, the two of them have Ying Guifei as the backing, and they can get any novelty, and the birthday gift they prepared turned out to be boots embroidered with a bumper harvest.

The embroidery is not unusual, the strange thing is that the millet on it is made of fine broken gemstones, shining golden in the sun, and the hands of embroidered boots are really skillful, the splendid things are embellished on it, it will only make people feel that the crops in the field are full of hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean, and there is no sense of burden.

Wei Changyuan said proudly: "Erchen uses this thing to wish his father's country a good year, a rich and ripe grain, and hope that his father's holy body is Kangtai, and he will live with heaven and earth!" ”

This is undoubtedly a good prayer and birthday gift, the emperor now hopes for a bumper harvest every year, so as to fill the treasury and fight with Beihu, Wei Changyuan said every word on the point, this rumor is the most like his second son, and he really knows how to please him the most.

"Okay, good, Changyuan, this is really hard work, I am very relieved in my heart, Dashun has a prince like you who is worried about the harvest, why worry about no future? Reward, I want to reward you again today! ”

Wei Changyuan hurriedly took his wife to kneel and bow his head, and said loudly: "Son, thank your father for the emperor's reward!" ”

The emperor took the pair of boots and looked at them carefully several times before he smiled and asked people to put them away, and then it was the turn of Wei Changjue and Lan Yi.

But with a jewel like Wei Changyuan in front, many people feel that the other princes are overshadowed, not to mention that this depends on his recent Royal Highness King Gong, and he will definitely be compared to nothing.

However, Wei Changjue came out of the ranks, and first said with a smile, "Please father and emperor Mingjian, there are countless gold and jade things in the second emperor's brother's mansion, and after comforting the border soldiers, he took out these gems to make boots, it is really the second emperor's sister-in-law who is too good at business, and the daughter-in-law of the son's family only knows how to live by the son's minister's money, and she doesn't take care of money at all, so the birthday gift of the son's minister, compared to the second emperor's brother, is very shabby." But if your father wants to scold, scold your daughter-in-law. ”

Lan Yi also smiled and said: "Father, don't listen to his nonsense, obviously the silver in the mansion was secretly taken away by him to those disaster victims in the north, and it was relied on by his sons." She turned her head slightly to look at Wei Changjue, "If you talk nonsense again, my father will beat you later, and I won't help you intercede." ”

The two of them made such a fuss, but the atmosphere was hot, the Wanshou Festival should be lively, and the emperor also likes to let others see the happy appearance of the heavenly family, and then naturally laughed and scolded along the corners of their mouths: "Two little things, calculating that I don't care about you, just do things on the birthday gift?" But Lan Yi, listen to what you mean, Chang Jue took his own money to supplement the victims? ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Back to my father's words, you also know that Erchen is a person with long hair and short knowledge, and he is not afraid of you and everyone laughing when he says it. ”

The emperor stroked his palms and laughed, only listening to Lan Yi continue, "But Changjue was moved by his son's ministers with reason, saying that this silver was originally given by his father, and now in his father's country, the people in the north have suffered a little, so let's go back and help them tide over the difficulties." This is equivalent to putting the silver from the treasury back into the treasury, which has nothing to do with the sons and wives, so there is no need to talk to others. But seeing such a good birthday gift for the second emperor brother, Erchen was afraid of being reprimanded by you and being beaten by a board, so he had to let Changjue explain. Who knows, he still depends on his sons. ”

Wei Changjue hated her, "Father asked, do you see how many sentences you replied?" ”

The emperor brushed his beard and laughed more than once, such a scene of husband and wife loving and fighting, which elder doesn't like to watch, not to mention that the royal family is the most unhappy place, the emperor is already at this age, and suddenly tasted the fun of being a father-in-law, how can he not be happy.

But after laughing, he suddenly remembered another thing: if the silver in Prince Gong's Mansion was only added to the treasury, and there was very little left, then where did the countless gems on the tens of thousands of cotton clothes and boots that Wei Changyuan had on hand come from?

The emperor knows that there is no one in the officialdom who is not greedy, even if he looks at Wei Changjue, who has clean sleeves, most of them also have some private property, but on the surface, Wei Changjue is low-key and modest, and the money used has a clear way, and the amount is not exaggerated.

Thinking of these things, the emperor's heart sank, and he only thought about how to question, but his face did not show a single thing. Over there, Wei Changjue and Lan Yi had already presented their birthday gifts, and they saw that in the red sandalwood box, there was a woodcarved fairy statue, wearing a wide-sleeved fairy robe, and the god's face was peaceful and peaceful, very kind.

The Emperor smiled and asked, "Is there any such thing as this?" ”

Wei Changjue arched his hand and said: "Please take a closer look at my father, who is this wood carving immortal." ”

The emperor looked at it, and he already understood a little in his heart, but he shouldn't have said this, so he handed it to the concubines on the left and right and let them watch, and the queen smiled first: "The concubines look at this fairy, and they have the charm of the emperor." ”

The other concubines naturally agreed, and Wei Changjue said: "This immortal statue is painted by Lan Yi and his sons, and carved from good acacia wood, acacia wood may not be rare, but what is rare is that the texture of this wood is just in line with the three-dimensional crown worn by the immortals, the nine-colored cloud clothes and the flowing clouds next to it." Erchen took Lan Yi to look around for selection, and finally got like this. ”

As he spoke, he knelt down, and Lan Yi also knelt down, and the following words were the words of birthday wishes, "In the hearts of the sons, the father is the true immortal who saves the people from fire and water, if there is the Jade Emperor Tianzun above the nine heavens, there must also be the charm of the father, and the sons hope that the father will live forever, like a god, and will always bless the people of Dashun!" ”

When the words fell, the emperor laughed again, and nodded in appreciation, "Changjue has a heart." Quickly send someone to bring the "Jiangfan Pavilion Map" in my treasury, and I will reward him. ”
