Chapter 741: Birthday Gift
As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother walked in from a corner, and Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen supported her left and right.
Emperor Jingming saw that the Queen Mother had arrived, and he got up to greet him, and the Queen silently followed.
"Mother, slow down." Emperor Jingming stretched out his hand to help the Queen Mother, and the fourteenth princess obediently stepped aside to give way to the place.
Emperor Jingming's actions made the Queen Mother feel very ironed, and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to be like this, the mourning family can still move." β
Emperor Jingming smiled: "Of course, the queen mother is in good health, but her son wants to help you." β
Seeing that Emperor Jingming carefully helped the Queen Mother to walk to the high platform, everyone in the palace sighed: The emperor is really filial piety to the Queen Mother for decades.
Those elderly princes and old men couldn't help nodding, secretly envious of the queen mother's good fortune.
Even in an ordinary family, the adopted son is worthy of praise for being so sincere and filial to his adoptive mother, not to mention that person is the emperor.
When a woman can be the queen mother, this is in vain in this life, and I don't know the blessings of several lifetimes.
The Queen Mother walked up to the high platform in the eyes of countless envy and reverence, and was slowly sat down by Emperor Jingming, looking down.
Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted, saying, "Congratulations to the Queen Motherβ"
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, waited for the scene to calm down, and said with a smile: "It's all a family, you don't have to be restrained, just be casual." β
The Queen Mother spoke, and everyone sat down.
The dance music began, a group of colorful dancers came out, barefoot began to dance on the brocade carpet, the silver bells tied to the ankles tinkling, and the music converged, making the atmosphere in the hall gradually rise.
The Queen Mother smiled at the queen: "Let the queen bother." β
The queen raised her glass and said: "It is the honor of the daughter-in-law to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother, I only hope that the queen mother will not grow old, and there will be a future in her years." β
The Queen Mother also raised her glass and touched her lips slightly.
Next, the royal family and nobles will be listed in order to congratulate the Queen Mother.
First of all, the people of the same generation as the Queen Mother, and then the generation of Emperor Jingming, and when these are all over, it will be the grandchildren.
Among the grandchildren, several princes naturally came out to celebrate their birthdays first, and several princes this year were more eye-catching than in previous years.
Without him, the position of the prince is vacant, which is a major event that everyone is staring at.
The first to stand up were the Qin Wang couple and his wife.
King Qin was the adopted son of Emperor Jingming, and although he was hopeless for the throne, he would be ranked ahead of other princes on such occasions.
Many people's eyes swept over King Qin, and they lowered their eyes and drank.
It's useless to rank in front, anyway, the position of the prince has nothing to do with King Qin.
The King of Qin and his wife presented a pair of white jade longevity peaches to the Queen Mother.
Among the countless rare treasures, a pair of white jade longevity peaches are not precious, but they are better than exquisite workmanship, and longevity peaches look like they were just picked from the branches.
The Queen Mother smiled and praised it twice.
Then came King Qi.
King Qi presented the scriptures copied by his own hands, and it was rare that the scriptures were overseas secret scriptures, and even many Great Zhou monks had not necessarily read them.
The Queen Mother naturally accepted it happily.
Yu Jin looked at Jiang Xiang across the aisle, his eyes full of disdain.
The fourth child is really a poor ghost who spends his daughter-in-law's dowry, and the birthday gift given to the queen mother is a broken scripture book.
Copyed by hand, in the final analysis, it didn't cost money, as for what overseas scriptures, maybe the fourth child secretly memorized it after reading it, turned his head and was silent, anyway, there was no cost.
Tired of a person, naturally it is not pleasing to the eye, and Yu Jin expressed ten thousand contempt for such opportunistic actions of King Qi.
Jiang seemed to smile back and blinked slightly.
Before Ah Jin laughed at King Qi, he didn't want to think about who spent Erniu's Yulu......
Xu is heart has a sharp heart, Yu Jin suddenly understood what she meant from Jiang Yi's blink of an eye, and her handsome face turned black.
What's wrong with him spending Erniu's money, Erniu was pulled by him!
Next, the congratulatory gift of King Lu and his wife was not fancy at all, but a pair of red coral half a foot high.
It's not fancy, because red coral is the most common gift, but in real terms, this pair of red coral is the most real, at least much more expensive than white jade longevity peach and scriptures.
It was the turn of the King of Shu and his wife to appear, and the birthday gift given to the Queen Mother was decent, and the Queen Mother also accepted it with a smile.
The King of Shu, who returned to his seat, had some regret in his heart.
could have given a birthday gift that the imperial grandmother liked, but the concubine asked him to retreat temporarily, so he had to choose to keep a low profile.
Concubine Zhuang, who was sitting quietly in a corner on the high platform, nodded imperceptibly, very relieved that her son could listen to her.
Then Yu Jin and Jiang seemed to get up from their respective seats and walked together to congratulate the Queen Mother.
"Grandson (granddaughter-in-law) congratulates the imperial grandmother for a thousand years."
A small but delicate box was taken by the chamberlain, opened and presented to the Queen Mother.
Lying in the box is a string of agarwood beads.
The moment the Queen Mother saw the congratulatory gift, her pupils shrank, and her complexion changed uncontrollably.
Emperor Jingming was most interested in the Queen Mother, and when he saw that the Queen Mother had a different expression, he asked Yu Jin curiously: "Old Seven, why do you want to give your imperial grandmother a Buddhist bead bracelet?" β
The Queen Mother has a string of agarwood Buddha beads, which she often wears on weekdays, and Emperor Jingming is very impressed by that string of Buddha beads.
Yu Jin heard Emperor Jingming ask this, and said generously: "My son thinks that the imperial grandmother will like it." β
Emperor Jingming smiled: "Such a rosaryβ"
He wanted to say that the Queen Mother had a string of similar ones, and he never left his body, but before he opened his mouth, he swallowed the words behind him, and his eyes subconsciously drifted to the Queen Mother's wrist.
I don't know when, the rosary on the queen mother's wrist is no longer there.
Strange, when did the Queen Mother take off the rosary?
On that day, it was announced that Lao Qiji was under the name of the queen, and he obviously saw it when he went to inform his mother.
These doubts flashed in Emperor Jingming's heart, and the Queen Mother opened her mouth: "This kind of rosary mourner really likes it, you really have a heart." β
Yu Jin looked up at the Queen Mother and smiled slightly: "It's good if you like it." β
After that, he retreated with Jiang.
The subsequent dedication continued, but the queen mother's heart was turbulent because of the string of prayer beads.
And the same heart is also fluctuating, as well as Emperor Jingming.
It's just a string of prayer beads, and there is no need to pay attention to it, but how can the queen mother show something different? Could it be that there is a reason why the queen mother did not wear the previous string of prayer beads?
I don't know why, thinking about the time when the Queen Mother took the incense Buddha bead bracelet, Emperor Jingming was in an inexplicable mood, but this gloom was quickly dispelled by the excitement in the hall.
The banquet continued, and it was time for the atmosphere to get stronger.
The crowd, who had a slight sense of alcohol, was a little less restrained and began to toast frequently.
Unlike in the past, when he was ignored, there are many people around Yu Jin today, and it is obvious that the status of the queen's son makes him different from what he used to be.
King Xiang saw that his eyes were on fire, and he didn't know how many times he was thinking: If his father had chosen him that day, he would have been the one who stuttered these people today!
A hand patted him lightly on the shoulder.
When the king of Xiang turned around, he saw the king of Qi raising his glass to him: "Eighth brother, brother respects you." β
King Xiang drank the wine in the cup and walked towards Yu Jin.
