Chapter 157: The Birthday Banquet for the Elderly

Hehehe...... I believe that everyone is looking forward to the birthday of their ancestors, and they are looking forward to seeing through it, right?

The old ancestor got up before the day was polished, and saw the magpie chirping on the window lattice, which was the fastest update

Mama Rong combed the ancestor into a very good-looking bun and put on a golden hairpin.

She also wore a purple and black gold longevity moire brocade robe, which was even more festive, and she looked like an old birthday star.

Gu Tingcheng got up before dawn and went to the imperial dining room.

I personally made a big bag of lotus seed paste golden egg yolk stuffed longevity peach for the ancestor, and there were some peach blossom cakes and peach blossom soup.

This longevity peach bun, but she recently learned it from the imperial chef Cai.

When the ancestors washed and dressed and walked out of the dormitory, they smelled a strong fragrance of wheat and peach blossoms.

Gu Tingcheng held the hot and fragrant longevity peach bun in his hand and knelt in front of the ancestor.

Feihong and flying geese also knelt behind him.

Gu Qingcheng said respectfully:

"I wish the ancestors Chunxuan and the pine and cypress in the same spring."

Feihong Feiyan also learned from Gu Tingcheng and said it again.

"Okay, good, the little alluring city of mourning, even the greetings are so innovative. Get up, get up, get up! ”

The chrysanthemum bloomed on the ancestor's face, and he handed a big red envelope to Gu Qingcheng.

Inside the red envelope are a few golden leaves.

** Touching her cheeks, she said kindly:

"Little Allure, the ancestors have waited for a lifetime, and I look forward to your blessing."

“…… Lifetime? Gu Qingcheng's eyes were full of tears.

Looking at the old ancestor, I thought of the peach grandma who was the same as the old ancestor in my dream.

Yes, she is real, she is her own peach grandmother.

"Grandma." She couldn't help but call her grandmother again.

"Hey, my good granddaughter." The old ancestor happily responded and stretched out his hand to help Gu Qingcheng.

Mama Rong helped the ancestor to sit down, and Feihong Feiyan also hurriedly got up and fiddled with breakfast with Mama Rong.

"Ancestor, this is the lotus seed longevity peach bun that Miss got up early in the morning and personally made for the ancestor, but our young lady has been learning from Mr. Cai in the imperial dining room for two days. Ancestors tasted? "The flying geese said with sharp teeth.

"Okay, good, this is the best gift that the ancestor has ever received." The old ancestor smiled happily, "Come on, come on, let's eat together." ”

Feihong prepared the peach blossom and peach blossom soup again: "Ancestor, this is the peach blossom cake and peach blossom soup made by Miss early in the morning, please taste it?" ”

The old ancestor looked at the peach blossom girl and the peach blossom soup with even more surprise, his eyes were confused, and he said in surprise: "Oh, the little allure of the mourning family, remember to make the peach blossom queen and peach blossom soup?" ”

Gu Qingcheng thought of those scenes in his dream, nodded a little confusedly, and hummed vaguely.

The ancestor ate a bite of peach blossom Ji, tasted a mouthful of peach blossom soup, and happily bowed: "Sweet and soft, the craftsmanship of Xiaocheng, it will never change, this is the taste." ”

Gu Tingcheng was even more confused, it was the first time she made Peach Blossom Ji and Peach Blossom Soup, and she still thought back to the scene in her dream.

This old ancestor is her peach grandmother!

The infatuated flower ring she gave herself can transform into peach blossoms, and all the begonia flowers in a package of Fanghua have turned into peach blossoms.

There are some things that can be tacitly understood. Since the ancestor didn't understand it, she didn't ask questions.

The ancestor was happy to eat longevity peach buns with Gu Tingcheng.

"Delicious, delicious!" The ancestor was full of praise, "What delicacies from the mountains and seas are nothing more than that, but they are still real wheat noodles." The most important thing is here, adding the heart of our little city. ”

"It's good if the ancestors like it." Gu Qingcheng said sweetly.

After eating the most delicious breakfast with the old ancestor, after Gu Qingcheng left the Wanshou Palace, the genius was completely bright.

Back in the west hall of Yuxiu Palace, she beckoned all the butterflies to come over and explained to them in detail.

Then all the palace people were gathered to give a lecture in the Taiji Hall Square:

"Ladies and gentlemen, train for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while.

We have been preparing for so long, and everyone has worked hard for so long, just waiting for today's ancestor birthday to play well.

The birthday banquet not only had the distinguished guests of the Great Wei, but also the envoys of various countries, and there was no room for sloppiness.

We are both prosperous and losing.

What should be said, I also said it on weekdays, I hope you will perform your duties, keep your positions, go all out, and jointly organize the birthday banquet of your ancestors! ”

"Okay......" The palace people replied loudly together, and then dispersed, each busy with his work.

It's a day, the wind is smooth, and the sky is blue.

The birthday of the ancestor is really a good day, and it is very suitable for flying bamboo kites.

As soon as the palace is in the morning, it is dressed in red and hung with colors, and it is full of joy.

Zong Ai got up early in the morning, and his apprentice Jia Zhou waited for him to put on the golden bell of the sable cicada.

"The master wears this golden bell of the sable cicada, and it looks even more extravagant." Jia Zhou flattered.

"That old man Jin really has a heart." Zong Ai also looked at himself in the bronze mirror with some smugness.

Then he said: "Okay, hurry up, today is the birthday of the ancestor, let's hurry up and wait for Your Majesty to get up." ”

The emperor was a little surprised when he saw Zong Ai wearing a golden bell of Diao Chan.

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Zong Ai held the golden bell on his head, and said with a wry smile:

"This, this is a fake that a businessman went to the ghost market to pick up for his slaves a few days ago."

Tuoba Tao smiled but did not speak.

Zong Ai knows the emperor too well, today is the birthday of the ancestor, everyone is celebrating the head, His Majesty got up early in the morning, and the mood is naturally very good.

Even if he knew that his head was the golden bell of the sable cicada made by King Zhao Huiwen back then, he would not ask.

From now on, this golden bell of the sable cicada can be worn on his head safely.

Carefully serve His Majesty to change clothes, His Majesty took the harem concubines and princes and grandchildren to kowtow to the ancestors to celebrate their birthdays, and everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The queen is wearing a gold and silver silk Luan bird and phoenix embroidered court dress, wearing a phoenix crown, which looks solemn and noble.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi today wore a carved silk clay gold and silver Ruyi cloud pattern satin, graceful and elegant.

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's soft silver light lily skirt looks dignified and elegant.

After everyone congratulated, the ancestor smiled and sent red envelopes to those who came to celebrate their birthdays.

The people in front of him were all dispatched, and the ancestor was still holding the red envelope in his hand, stopped, and looked left and right in the crowd.

"Ancestor, who are you looking for?" Mama Rong asked softly.

"What about the little great-great-grandson daughter-in-law of the mourning family?" The old ancestor pouted slightly, and his eyes were still looking left and right.

"Little great-grandson's daughter-in-law?" Empress Helian smiled warmly and asked, "Ancestor, who are you looking for?" ”

"Ancestor." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi, who was exquisite, quickly stepped forward to help the old ancestor.

He looked intimate and dressed her a little, and smiled softly:

"Your princes and grandsons, they should have come, they are basically here, who dares not to come to congratulate you on your birthday."

"No, what about the mourning family's little allure?" The old ancestor pouted in disappointment.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi and Empress Helian's faces stiffened, and their smiling faces were almost unbearable.

The old ancestor was like a child with a child's heart, beckoning to Tuoba in the crowd:

"Son, come here."

Tuoba came to the old ancestor with a smile on the corner of his mouth and kowtowed a few times again.

He said respectfully: "Ancestor Wan'an, I wish my ancestor a long life and a long life." ”

"Okay, you get up first." The old ancestor smiled happily and beckoned to Tuoba, her favorite was this great-grandson.

Tuoba stepped forward to hold the ancestor's hand.

"Son, have you lost your daughter-in-law?" The old ancestor pouted to Tuoba, "Why didn't Little Allure come with you?" ”

“…… How could a son lose his daughter-in-law? Tuoba said with a smile on his face, "Ancestor, son's wife, after a while, I will come to pay homage to you." ”

Everyone laughed and laughed.

"Hahaha......" Tuoba Tao laughed: "You see, the ancestors have rejuvenated." ”

Tuoba Tao and his concubines and descendants also laughed together, only Tuoba coaxed the rejuvenated ancestors to be happy.

Only Tuoba Yu's face was gloomy, and he felt that Gu Qingcheng had become his joke.

Princess Lu laughed and whispered:

"It's true, the ancestor is confused, and you are also messing around."

Mama Rong saw that the old ancestor was confused again, so she said in a low voice:

"Ancestor, Xiao Chengcheng personally made a longevity peach bag early in the morning to honor you, why did you forget it so quickly?"

"Oh, yes......" The old ancestor suddenly smiled and said: "Xiao Chengcheng has indeed been here early in the morning, why did the mourning family miss her again all of a sudden." ”

"Old ancestor," Lu Zuo Zhaoyi held back his temperament and spoke smartly: "That Gu Qingcheng was just a doll for Yu'er more than ten years ago, whether he can become the princess of Nan'an is still unknown." Now she is not the great-granddaughter-in-law of her ancestors. ”

"Lu girl, it's not kind for you to say this, the royal family is full of words, since she is my royal daughter-in-law, she must keep her promise.

You're not allowed to bully my little Allure. The old ancestor pouted his lips to Lu Zuo Zhaoyi, and was very dissatisfied.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's face was embarrassed: "...... Yes, yes. Lu girl obeys the admonition of her ancestors. ”

Just be a confused child of the ancestors and follow her.

Tuoba Tao bowed slightly at this time.

Xin said: "That girl from the Gu family really has two strokes, not only did she learn to play the piano with Feng Zuo Zhaoyi, and arranged the birthday banquet in an orderly manner, not in a panic, but also made the ancestor love her so much." ”

Tuoba Tao personally accompanied the ancestors to breakfast, and the queen led the concubines and the prince's grandson to serve Xian.

The old ancestor had already eaten with Gu Qingcheng, and he meant it to the emperor.

The banquet in the outer courtyard is located in the Taiji Palace, from the throne of the Taiji Hall to the steps outside the palace, below the steps until the east and west sides under the eaves of the Taihe Gate, and the banquet of the royal, the prince and the minister of civil and military affairs is set up according to the rank.

After breakfast with the banquet guests, they began to enter the palace one after another, waiting for the arrangement of seats.

Before the banquet began, Gu Tingcheng and the prime minister of the dining room commanded together, and according to the official rank and grade of the people attending the banquet, the table was set up in advance, and the containers and dishes were clearly distinguished.

The emperor's golden dragon banquet table, the tableware on the table is gold plates, gold bowls, gold spoons, gold inlaid ivory chopsticks and small gold cloth plates and other dining tableware, from the inside to the outside of the eight-way meal.

Then according to the rank of the harem, the ancestors, the queen's concubines, the prince's sons and grandsons, the princesses, the princesses, and the wives.

The banquet is divided into first and second class.

The first class is the prince, the first and second rank ministers and foreign envoys.

The second class is an officer of the third to ninth grades. The rest are the family members of the eunuchs who have no official qualities.

Tuoba Tao and the old ancestor stepped out of the warm sedan chair in the sound of Zhonghe Shao music, ascended to the throne, and the harem and the princes and grandchildren took their seats in turn.

Suddenly there was a commotion, and the palace ladies whispered happily.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Wei Juan beside him, and saw that she was also smiling.

"What's wrong with them?" Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly and asked Wei Juan.

looked blankly at the rioting palace maids and the excited female guests.

"Miss Gu, it's the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the World, the eldest grandson of the Emperor Gaoyang, and General Yipin Flying Eagle is here. You may not know that King Gaoyang not only has a prominent status, but also the most beautiful man in the world. Wei Juan looked like a young girl with a spring in her arms, and her white face was red.

Kong Mingdeng was handled overnight, the blessing program could be held normally, and she regarded Gu Chengcheng as an idol and was tired of being by her side all the time.

Gu Qingcheng suddenly smiled.

Looking at the past from a distance, Tuoba was dressed in a moon-white embroidered ice blue moire robe embellished with shining diamonds, with neat sideburns and brocade eyebrows, so handsome that people could take a few more looks.

Even walked over and looked back.

Wei Juan whispered again: "Don't talk about us palace maids, even those noble ladies and celebrities, they can't wait to see the peerless beauty of His Royal Highness King Gaoyang." ”

"Zuo is just a beautiful man, what's all the fuss." Gu Qingcheng snorted lowly, and sneered a little.

Xindao: Tuoba, Tuoba, you rely on your peerless appearance and prominent identity to provoke girls.

Every time it appears, it causes a riot, and it really attracts bees and butterflies!

No wonder Li Shuang'er and Helan Mingyue want to fight for him.

Gu Tingcheng had just prepared a bucket of nectar water, and pink rose petals were rippling on the water.

These honey water is meant to sprinkle flower petals and attract butterflies to offer their lives.

In fact, her butterfly has long known her orders, and she has done this just to hide her eyes, so as not to be known about her relationship with the butterfly.

A boy who was about ** years old in a gorgeous brocade dress, saw that the bucket of water rose petals were bright, and thought it was funny, so he came over and reached out to the water to stir and scratch the petals.

"Kid, don't make trouble, it's not fun." Gu Qingcheng said in a low voice, telling him not to be naughty.

The boy annoyed her and called her a child, grabbed a large handful of flower petals with water stains, and smashed them into Gu Qingcheng's face.

At such a close distance, Gu Qingcheng didn't expect the boy to be so naughty, and he couldn't hide from it, and his body and face were stained with slippery petals and water stains.

There were several petals stuck together, obscuring half of her face.

She pursed her lips and squinted, her teeth cracked.

The boy's eyes were shining, his eyebrows were familiar, he looked at her embarrassed appearance, grinned at her and laughed:

"Hahaha, ugly, hahaha, ugly......"

"Whose bad billet are you, how dare you be so naughty?" Gu Chengcheng was low.

I felt that although the child was naughty, he was also cute, and deliberately exhaled loudly.

"Humph! I don't even know who the master is, and I will receive another wave of water from the master! The child's eyes were quick, and he actually picked up another handful of water and splashed it at Gu Qingcheng.

This time, Gu Qingcheng was really angry.

She wiped the petals and honey stains on her face, and then quickly sprinkled the water on his face with her hands.

looked at the bad boy and smiled: "Come and don't be rude, little bad billet, let you also taste nectar water." ”

"Bold!" The two little guys beside the boy shouted, "How dare you be disrespectful to the Nine Princes?!" ”

"You are an ugly monster, you dare to splash Ye Shui, and dare to say that Ye is a bad billet?" The boy was furious, glaring angrily.

At this time, Wei Wan on the side hurriedly walked over and saluted the boy:

"Nine Princes, we are preparing for the birthday banquet of our ancestors. You are mischievous here, and when you look back, Your Majesty asks, but you will punish the Nine Princes. ”

"You, you, you! Hum! The ninth prince pointed at Wei Juan and snorted angrily, after all, he was afraid that he would be punished by the emperor's grandfather, so he shook his sleeves fiercely.

Then he glared at Gu Qingcheng again: "You! You ugly bastard, what's your name! Which palace is the girl, report to the master quickly, and see how the master punishes you! ”

"The Ninth Prince?" Gu Qingcheng glanced at Wei Wan, and then looked at the boy who looked like a pink carving.

"Miss Gu, he is the concubine of the late prince, the ninth prince born by Liang Di, and the cousin of King Gaoyang." Wei Juan whispered in Gu Qingcheng's ear, "He is a well-known little overlord. ”

Gu Tingcheng didn't think so, but later learned that this outspoken, naughty little overlord was really enough for her.

"Oh, it turned out to be the ninth prince of the Prince's Mansion, bad billet, then you have to listen well." Gu Tingcheng said with a playful smile: "My name is Gu Nanai, I belong to the Wuyou Palace of Zixu Palace, and under the hands of my aunt in law enforcement, I specialize in treating some ignorant bad billets......"

Tuoba Pizheng listened in a daze......

"Grandma, why didn't you draw ghost talismans under Zhong Kui today, but transferred to the law enforcement aunt to cure the bad blank?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind Gu Tingcheng, interrupting Gu Chengcheng's words.

As soon as Gu Qingcheng heard the voice, he knew that it was Tuoba Han.

Looking back, it was him.

She coldly coveted Tuobahan.

"Okay, you Gu Nana, you must let the law enforcement aunt punish you well!" The Nine Princes Tuoba Pi pointed at Gu Qingcheng and snorted.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Tuoba Pi and smiled silently.

"What's the matter, auntie, even Huangkou Xiao'er wants to tease?" Tuoba Han looked at Gu Qingcheng with an obscene expression.

Tuoba Han was followed by Yihun, Helan Mindu, Dugu Xifeng, and Anlingtina's brothers.

This group of human wolves are all all the way, collectively referred to as "gentlemen".

Gu Tingcheng had water stains on his face, and there were some broken petals, and his hair was sticky and wet, like a hibiscus out of water, and the prince and grandson were salivating, looking at Gu Tingcheng, who was a little embarrassed but looked like a fairy.

Gu Tingcheng naturally didn't know all of these people.

Xia He nearby hurriedly came over and saluted them: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Dongping, I have seen the light cavalry general, I have seen the prince of Helan, I have seen the prince of Dugu, and I have seen several sons of Anling. ”

"I've seen a few adults." Gu Tingcheng casually saluted, and said, "It's just teasing the children, what kind of teasing is King Dongping, isn't it serious?" ”

At this time, Tuoba Pi, who originally wanted to leave with the little servant, listened to the conversation between King Dongping and Gu Qingcheng, as if the ugly monster was teasing himself, pursed his lips, and turned back again.

"Uncle Sanhuang, you said that this ugly monster is flirting with the master?" Tuoba Pi frowned and asked Tuoba Han.

"Ugly? ……”

Not only was Tuoba Han taken aback, but even all the princes and grandsons around him couldn't help laughing.

Tuoba Pi is really an undeveloped boy, and he can't even tell the difference between a beautiful woman and an ugly monster.

"Pi'er, this is Gu Qingcheng who presided over the birthday of the ancestor, she just said that her name is Gu Nanai, you read a little lower, is it my aunt's ****** void palace without a palace, there is nothing in the void, how can there be these low palaces in the palace, and the law enforcement aunt is under the hands of the bad billet, that is, to govern you Tuoba Pi!"

Before Tuoba Pi could get angry, Yihun was already screaming.

"What? She is Gu Qingcheng?! Yihun gritted his teeth and snorted, exchanging a look with Tuoba Han.

Tuoba Han bowed silently.

"You, you, you ugly bastard, you dare to tease you?" Tuoba Pi was even more furious.

Stretching out his hand to roll his sleeves and looking at the posture, he wanted to beat Gu Allure.

was stopped by Tuoba Han:

"Pi'er, guests are coming one after another, the birthday of the ancestor will start soon, if there is a lot of trouble at this time, will you not be scolded by the ancestor? Let's go! ”

Tuoba Han was not only warned by his ancestor not to provoke Gu Qingcheng, but if he caused trouble at her birthday banquet, he would be even more unable to eat and walk around.

Tuoba Pi held his breath and pursed his lips and stretched out his finger to point at Gu Qingcheng, but he had no choice but to throw his sleeves away.

Tuoba Han passed by Gu Qingcheng's side, paused, and whispered lewdly in Gu Chengcheng's ear: "Little beauty, you wait well, sooner or later, this king will make you unable to survive and die." ”

"Lord Dog, my aunt and grandmother see that you don't go to the house for three days. I was beaten into a pig's head before, and I wasn't happy, and my skin was itchy again, right? Gu Qingcheng seemed to be smiling, his voice was as thin as a goose feather, fluttering lightly in Tuoba Han's heart.

Listening to Tuoba Han's ears, he couldn't help but win people.

Tuoba Han was so hateful that he almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth and glared at Gu Qingcheng fiercely, and walked away.

As he walked, he said bitterly to Yi Hun who was following him: "The hateful Gu Qingcheng must be in the same group as the bastard who beat this king!" ”

Yi Hun had a sideways face, clinging to Tuoba Han's side, and said softly: "Your Highness, there is no fragrant grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower, let alone a water-based poplar." She doesn't know how to lift, so she can only destroy flowers with her hands! ”

Tuoba Han and Yi Hun glanced at each other, and both of them smiled lewdly.
