The apse of the Yuecheongden is the Yongxing Hall, which is extremely spacious and divided into two floors, and is specially used for large banquets.

There is a large stage in the middle, which is used for performing songs and dances.

At this time, the lights on it are colorful, and the flowers are arranged, so it is not lively.

The Empress led these ladies and ladies of the princess to the second floor, and the first floor was naturally reserved for the emperor, princes, and ministers. Because it is the birthday of the mother of the country, there is such an arrangement.

After everyone sat down, they began to offer birthday gifts to the queen.

Everything had to be seen by the queen, but it was only a glance at it and it was taken down. The person who owns the Internal Affairs Office shall keep a register and keep it properly.

But there are also a number of gifts for this gift, which must be presented by the palace concubines, princes and princesses first, and then to the ministers.

Most of them are playthings such as pearls, jade, gold and silver, and the princes and princesses are writing the word longevity in order to express their hearts, seeking peace and blessings, and focusing on showing filial piety.

When Shen Tuwen came to give his birthday gift, everyone paid special attention to him.

Xiao Liuli couldn't help but look at him, he hadn't seen Prince Zhaojing for a long time, and he still felt as shocked when he saw him for the first time.

The long body is jade, the dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes are immovable, and they also reveal a breathtaking deterrent.

The queen was very happy to see him, and said with a smile: "Today is my birthday, don't let you go downstairs, just sit next to me, do you say?" ”

"The queen mother said that it is naturally good, today is the queen mother's thousand years, as long as the queen mother is happy, the sons can do whatever they want." Although Shen Tuwen's temperament is cold, on such a special day, he naturally has to take care of the queen's emotions.

"When you say that, it can be seen that you are a filial person." The queen recited the Buddha in her heart, and she was worried that this stubborn son would not listen to her.

"Queen Mother, my son-in-law has prepared a birthday gift for you, and I hope to accept it with a smile." Shen Tuwen did not sit down, but bowed down and said to the queen.

"Oh, then let someone bring it up." When the queen saw that he was empty-handed, she thought that the entourage was holding a gift.

Who wants Shen Tuwen just smiled, reached out and took out a jade pendant from his collar, took it off and put it on the queen's body, and his body temperature was still on it.

"Queen Mother, this jade pendant was brought by you when you were sick ten years ago, and your son went to Fayuan Temple to ask for it," Shen Tuwen explained the origin of this jade pendant: "At that time, the abbot of the temple said that the queen mother was weak, although this jade was beautiful but the texture was cool, it was not suitable for the weak to wear it, and it was best for someone to use their own qi and blood to raise it into warm jade before giving it to the mother." The son then wore it for ten years, and has already dedicated the warmth of this jade to his mother, all of which are a filial piety of his son, so as to seek the queen mother's phoenix body and longevity. ”

The queen was moved by him and said with tears: "My son has a heart, and the queen mother is very happy." ”

When everyone saw it, they naturally praised Prince Zhaojing's filial piety and moved heaven and earth.

Shen Tu sat down after the birthday ceremony, and he sat on the right hand side of the queen, opposite Xiao Liuli's mother and daughter.

He knew that the queen had another meaning in keeping him here. But of course, his own marriage is his own decision, even if the queen mother so signaled, he will never give in, but I don't know where the little evil obstacle is hidden? We must find her out quickly, otherwise next spring, I am afraid that my father and queen mother will be more urgent.

"Queen Qiyu, Prince Ruyi's birthday gift." The inner chamberlain stepped forward to report.

"By the way, why haven't I seen the prince's figure, where has he gone? If you're going to give a birthday gift, why don't you come in person? The queen asked strangely.

Speaking of Prince Ruyi, he has always been closer to him than Shen Tuwen, probably because he has been raised by his side since he was a child, and his temperament is gentle, not as unruly as Shen Tuwen, so the queen does not doubt that he will be rude today, but is curious why he has not shown up.

"Please turn your eyes to the phoenix," the chamberlain said with a smile, "The prince is on the stage downstairs." ”

When all the people upstairs heard him say this, they all looked down against the railing. The stage was very high, and it was not far from the second floor. When it was originally designed, it was for the convenience of people upstairs and downstairs to watch the show.

The queen looked down and saw that there was no one on the stage, and was about to ask, when she heard a crisp high-five, and then someone began to play.

Immediately afterwards, a team of people dressed as Guanyin came on the stage and danced to the music. At this time, sandalwood was lit under the stage, the cigarette smoke was swirling, and the dancing posture was endless, as if it was really a thousand-armed Guanyin, which was extremely shocking.

Although the queen knew that this was just a dance, but because this dance aroused her heart, she couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name.

Shen Tuwen looked at the performance below, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Jiang Jianglai.

Such a shocking performance, Daqin has never had since ancient times. What's more, Prince Ruyi is not good at these, how did he design it?

As the dance drew to a close, Prince Ruyi walked upstairs slowly with a scroll in his hand, holding it in both hands and offering it to the queen. He said: "The queen is wholeheartedly good, and the gods and Buddhas will bless her." May the queen be successful for all generations. ”

The queen took it reverently and said, "The prince has a heart, and this gift is very much in line with my wishes." I also borrowed your auspicious words to fulfill my long-cherished wish. ”

At this time, the hundred officials led by the emperor also appreciated this on the first floor. Today's noon banquet is considered a state banquet. In the evening, after all the officials and their families left the palace, the emperor and queen led the concubines and princesses to hold a family banquet.

At that time, the emperor will give the prepared gifts to the empress, and accept the congratulations of everyone with the empress.

"Prince Ruyi's ingenuity," Prime Minister Xiao Cheng took the lead in saying: "Xiaguan is really an eye-opener!" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone also agreed, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng had already seen his wife and daughter, sitting next to the queen, of course he knew what it meant.

Therefore, the interest has become extremely high, not to mention that Prince Zhaojing sent someone to escort the message to reply a few days ago, only saying that there was a misunderstanding before, but in fact, there is nothing wrong.

In fact, the reason why Shen Tuwen sent the news back was just that he didn't want to cause a bigger mess and send Xiao Xu back, his eyeliner had already been planted around him, and that straw bag would never dare to act rashly.

If you don't do this, I'm afraid that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng will not be able to bear the temperament to beg the emperor, which will only make the scene worse, and it will be difficult for him to postpone the marriage.

After weighing it, it was decided to send Xiao Xu's straw bag back to the house.

What's more, after a long search, it has basically been concluded that he has nothing to do with Jiang Jiang's disappearance.

There must be someone else behind this who is hiding the little evil obstacle.

Shen Tu squinted his eyes and looked at Prince Ruyi, who was dressed as a Buddhist, his younger brother was not as kind-hearted as he seemed.
