Chapter 241: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet
After Mo Chu came out of Shen Changge's dormitory with the scroll, he met Huanchun with a plate of dim sum.
Huan Chun also saw him, so he walked up quickly, and said with a smile: "Mo Chu, have you just gone to see His Highness?" ”
Mo Chu nodded and glanced at the snack in her hand: "For His Highness?" ”
"Yes, I heard that His Highness is back, so I thought of sending some snacks to His Highness, His Highness is inside, right?"
"In. Then you hurry up and send it to Your Highness, I'll go first. ”
Huan Chun smiled and nodded, glanced at the scroll in his hand, and asked curiously, "What are you holding in your hand?" Did His Highness give it? ”
Mo Chu lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll and said, "It's just an ordinary painting." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Huanchun, and said in a deep voice: "Huanchun, although you were personally brought back by His Royal Highness, you must also remember that this is the East Palace, you must always be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't ask if you shouldn't ask." ”
Listening to his serious words, Huan Chun couldn't help but feel a little timid, and nodded vigorously: "I know, I'm just asking casually." ”
"Just remember it later." Seeing her frightened look, Mo Chu didn't stiffen his face anymore, and said slowly, "Send it to Your Highness first." ”
"Yes."
Huan Chun answered and left in a hurry.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the emperor's birthday banquet.
Early in the morning, the palace was preparing for the emperor's birthday banquet.
Therefore, today's palace is particularly lively, and the emperor is even more in Zhaoyang Palace to hold a banquet and enjoy with hundreds of officials.
After Shen Changge was ready, he handed the box to Xiao Shunzi and asked him to accompany him to Zhaoyang Palace for a banquet.
When she arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, she handed over the box to the eunuchs who were in charge of receiving congratulatory gifts, and they kept it in a unified manner.
Then, Shen Changge walked into the main hall.
When she arrived, many officials had already arrived, and when they saw her walk in, they all got up and saluted her.
With a decent smile on his face, Shen Changge bowed slightly at these officials before he walked to his place and sat down.
As the crown prince, her position is closest to the emperor's dragon chair.
And Shen Yiqing, as the regent, is naturally high, so the position is right next to her.
When she walked to her seat, she found that Shen Yiqing was already sitting there.
"Uncle Huang." With a hearty smile on her face, she greeted him with a smile, "You arrived so early?" ”
"This king has just arrived." Shen Yiqing seemed to be in a good mood, and also hooked the corners of her lips slightly, looking at her gently.
Shen Changge sat down in his position, glanced at the officials below who were talking in twos and threes, and said, "What birthday gift did Uncle Huang prepare for his father?" ”
"The emperor's birthday gift naturally doesn't dare to slack off, but this king really can't take out any rare treasures, so he only prepares some gifts that are just ordinary things for the emperor." Shen Yiqing said, picking up the wine glass on the table.
Shen Changge turned his head to look at him, there was a touch of complicated emotions hidden in his seductive peach blossom eyes, and his ruddy lips were slightly opened.
But in the end, she didn't say anything.
Shen Yiqing seemed to see through her thoughts, and said: "Does the prince feel guilty that you took away the painting of the master of one heart that this king obtained, so that this king could not present it to the emperor?" ”
"I really can't hide anything from Uncle Huang." Shen Changge sneered.
Shen Yiqing raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said slowly: "Since this king handed over that painting to the prince, he will not regret it, and the prince does not have to feel guilty because of it." The king didn't give that painting to the prince for nothing, did he? ”
Thinking that he still owed him a condition, Shen Changge's heart gradually became relieved.
"If Uncle Huang thinks about what the conditions are, tell me directly, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Shen Changge said firmly.
"Okay." Shen Yiqing bowed his head slightly, and spit out a concise character.
While the two were talking, Shen Tianhua and Shen Yuanping walked in from outside the hall, and after greeting the officials one by one, they finally came to the front of the two.
"I've seen Uncle Huang." Shen Tianhua took the lead in saluting Shen Yiqing, "Has Uncle Huang been here for a long time?" ”
"Just arrived." Shen Yiqing responded lightly.
Shen Tianhua smiled and turned to look at Shen Changge: "Prince, today is my father's birthday banquet, I am really curious about what kind of birthday gift the prince has prepared for his father." ”
"It's just an ordinary thing." Shen Changge spoke calmly, but there was a hint of confidence hidden in his eyes.
She had already handed over Master Yixin's painting to Mo Chu for safekeeping, and had told Mo Chu before she came, asking him to estimate the time to bring the painting to Zhaoyang Palace to wait for her instructions.
The idea of no one beating her birthday is naturally the best, and if someone really secretly calculates her, then she is not afraid.
Seeing that she was still secretive, Shen Tianhua didn't ask more, but said: "Then I look forward to seeing the birthday gift prepared by the prince at the birthday banquet later." ”
"Then it's going to be hard for the eldest brother to personally open this mouth to my father." Shen Changge glanced at him and said meaningfully.
Shen Tianhua smiled and said nothing, but there was a surging dark tide under his eyes.
Shen Yuanping, who came together, didn't understand the dumb riddle between the two, and said: "Hearing what the eldest brother said, I am also very curious about the birthday gift prepared by the prince." My birthday gift is nothing special, it is a pearl of the East China Sea, compared to the birthday gift prepared by the two of you, I am afraid that it will be overshadowed. ”
"It doesn't matter if the gift is expensive or not, what matters is the heart." Shen Changge set his eyes on Shen Yuanping and said with a smile, "The second emperor's brother's heart for his father, my father will definitely understand it." ”
"I like to hear what the prince says." Shen Yuanping said with a smile.
Shen Changge smiled, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, without saying anything more.
Seeing this, the two didn't talk much, and each went back to his seat.
After the two left, Shen Yiqing leaned over slightly and approached her, and said in a low voice: "You gave the emperor's birthday gift, can you confirm that it is correct?" ”
Knowing the worry in his heart, Shen Changge smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang, there will be no problem." ”
Seeing that she looked confident, the worry in Shen Yiqing's heart gradually relaxed.
However, even if something happens, as long as he is there, he will never let the prince have anything to do.
As time passed, the entire hall was already bustling.
During this period, Shen Qingyang and Shen Huanting, brother and sister, have also arrived.
But only Shen Huanting stepped forward to say hello to the two, and after Shen Qingyang glanced at Shen Changge resentfully from the time he entered the main hall, he sat in his seat without saying a word.
This was the first time Shen Changge had seen Shen Qingyang since he came out of the Zen Void Palace.
Compared with the previous four princes who were arrogant and wanton, and their eyes were above the top, Shen Qingyang's whole person was now much more depressed and gloomy, with an aura that no one else should enter.
However, after experiencing the painful days of the Zen Void Palace, presumably he will not make any more moths.
