Chapter 207: The country is a courtesy
After Xiao Zilun, it was a gift from several younger princes. Wait until the princes of the children finish the gifts, and then go to Xiao Lian for the gifts of their grandchildren, and then the emperor's brothers give gifts. The gifts presented by the ministers are all received by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a list will be made later for the emperor to see.
Although a few younger princes have few qualifications, they can see that they have put a lot of thought into the congratulatory gifts they have prepared. The young princes were all born to concubines of low grade, and it was rare to meet the emperor, so today they naturally worked hard to perform well in front of the emperor.
For a while, the hall was even more lively.
Congratulatory gifts come and go in the main hall like flowing water, and everyone will echo and say some auspicious greetings when they are sent. It is rare for so many princes to be so harmonious together, and the emperor is even happier.
Xu Longju walked in gently from outside the hall and walked behind He Jingying.
The hall was lively, and no one noticed him.
Xu Longju whispered next to He Jingying's ear: "The princess has been caught." is dressed as a palace maid, carrying a plate and cooking. Aunt Yinzhou saw it at a glance, dragged it to the back, and recruited it before he could be tortured. ”
Liu Yinzhou followed Fan Guifei and had already gained a firm foothold in the palace. Now she is a celebrity in the palace, and she has to be called Aunt Yinzhou inside and outside the palace.
He Jingying lowered her eyes, her expression was unwavering: "Let's take it back to the firewood room in the house first." ”
Facing Xiao Lian's gaze, He Jingying smiled slyly.
That bright smile made Xiao Lian's eyes flash slightly, and soon they were hidden in a flying and domineering place.
When it was almost time for Xiao Lian to deliver the congratulatory gift, the little eunuch who was the celebrant walked up and walked up to Zhu Shou and whispered a few words. Zhu Shou's face was surprised, and his eyes were cast towards Xiao Lian.
Xiao Lian smiled at Zhu Shou confidently.
Although Zhu Shou was suspicious, he still sang: "Nanjun Wang's congratulatory gift." ”
After Zhu Shou finished singing, the little eunuch who did not have a celebrant stepped forward.
It was when the ministers were surprised that Xiao Lian came up empty-handed in full view of everyone.
All the officials know that on the emperor's birthday, the congratulatory gifts sent to the Nanjun Wangfu are all piled up into a mountain, and they are all peerless treasures, but the Nanjun King came up empty-handed.
The hundred officials looked at each other, what kind of medicine is sold in this Nanjun Wang gourd?
Xiao Lian respectfully said to the emperor: "Sun Erchen wishes the emperor's grandfather happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan!" ”
The emperor nodded: "Well, flat." ”
Xiao Lian smiled slightly: "Sun Erchen prepared a big gift for the emperor. ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Xiao Lian's empty hands, and said softly: "Huh? "Yes.
Xiao Lian made a gesture of please: "Sun Erchen's big gift requires the emperor to move." ”
The emperor was in a very good mood and followed Xiao Lian to the front of the city tower. Suzaku Street is lined with colorful lanterns that snake down like a dragon under the night sky.
Xiao Lian pointed to the swimming dragon: "This is the gift that Sun Erchen prepared for the imperial grandfather." ”
The emperor pointed to Suzaku Street: "The mind is good, but this is the credit of my concubine, are you borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?" ”
Xiao Lian smiled: "Grandpa Huang, don't worry. As he spoke, he looked at Yang Minzhi beside him.
Yang Minzhi stood on the city tower, and the cold wind blew his robe up, making it even more scrawny and bony under his robe. He was slender and tall, and he stood on top of this tower as if he would be swept away by the wind at any moment.
The emperor couldn't help but look at him twice, and suddenly recognized that he was the wizard who was brought to the altar by Wang Jingze when he was worshipping his ancestors, and his brows frowned slightly.
Yang Minzhi did not notice the emperor's mind at all. Seeing Xiao Lian's signal, Yang Minzhi took out a cannon from his arms and threw it into the air. A firework suddenly exploded in the air.
At the moment when the fireworks in the air burned out, the dragon composed of lanterns and theaters on Suzaku Street suddenly seemed to move.
Before everyone could react, there was a "boom", and the dragon soared into the air and climbed into the air from Suzaku Street in an instant.
The dragon moved in the air, and suddenly it turned into thousands of fireworks, blooming in the night sky. For a time, the golden light is ten thousand, and the rui qi is thousand, such as the heavenly palace at a glance, the golden scales are circling, the colorful phoenix dances in the air, and the dragon plays with the pearl in front of the palace.
Everyone was speechless by this amazing scene.
Only He Jingying, Xiao Lian, and Yang Minzhi had no surprise or joy on their expressions.
Xiao Lian came from modern times, and fireworks are ordinary things, and he has long been used to seeing them.
Yang Minzhi may have been standing on this tower for too long, his expression was a little sad, and his eyebrows were full of alienation.
He Jingying looked at Yang Minzhi's detached and indifferent expression, and she could see God.
Yang Minzhi in her memory is a gentle boy.
In her memory, there was only one person who would have such a look, as if he was always hostile to this world, and the people and things around him would annoy him at any time.
The more sober the understanding, the more desolate the heart.
She recognized the people around her because of the indifference between her eyebrows. And she used to be so afraid of a touch of indifference.
He Jingying lowered her eyes, unwilling to think about it again.
Why don't you recognize her?
Why lie to her?
These problems are one bell after another that is tied with a dead knot, and the slightest movement will make people have a headache.
The fireworks in the air have not yet dispersed, and tens of thousands of people on Suzaku Street congratulated in unison: "I wish the emperor a long life!" I wish the emperor a long life! I wish the emperor a long life! ”
This earth-shattering shout pulled He Jingying back from thousands of thoughts.
"Good!" The emperor held the railing tightly in his hand. This is the shortest sentence the emperor said tonight, but the slightly moist eyes and the slightly trembling hand holding the railing can show the emperor's excitement at the moment.
Together with Zhu Shou, who was standing beside the emperor, his eyes were red because he was too excited.
The emperor looked back at Xiao Lian and asked, "Okay, how do you want me to reward you?" ”
Xiao Lian said respectfully: "Sun Erchen doesn't dare to ask for a reward. ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you dare to ask for a reward?" ”
Xiao Lian: "This congratulatory gift, Sun Erchen can also be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, so Sun Erchen does not dare to ask for a reward." ”
The emperor looked left and right: "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha?" Is this someone else's idea? ”
Xiao Lian: "This is Sun Erchen's idea. But this is a gift to the emperor's country and a gift to the peaceful and prosperous times. This is a borrowed flower from the imperial grandfather and dedicated to the imperial grandfather, your Buddha. So Sun Erchen didn't dare to ask for a reward. ”
The emperor's words made the emperor happy.
When the emperor was young, he followed Taizu to conquer the south and the north. The country was initially decided, but the society was not stable, the remnants of the previous dynasty had not been cleared, and the Wei State in the north was eyeing it, but at this time Taizu Immortal died. The emperor was ordered to take on the heavy responsibility. The original Great Qi spent time in the chaos of war and lived in peace. It was the emperor's conscientious and conscientious work for ten years that brought about this peaceful and prosperous world.
If you ask the elderly emperor what else he wants, it is that he hopes that the peaceful and prosperous world can last for a long time.
The emperor twisted his beard and said "yes" three times in a row.
The emperor looked back at Xiao Lian, his face was still a little ruddy because of the excitement, but his expression had calmed down, revealing the majesty of the king: "Good! The country is a gift, and the peaceful and prosperous times are a ceremony. Then I will reward you with the country and the country, and reward you with the peace and prosperity! I will make you the emperor's grandson, and I will live in the East Palace tomorrow. ”
Suddenly, there was silence on the towers. The hustle and bustle of Suzaku Street reached everyone's ears very clearly.
Xiao Zijing's face was as usual, but Xiao Ziliang's face was so cold that it could drip water.
The emperor glanced at the ministers, and the first displeasure of the night appeared on his face.
Zhu Shou knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Congratulations to the Imperial Grandson! ”
At this time, as if they had come back to their senses, the officials knelt down one after another and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Congratulations to the Imperial Grandson! ”
