Chapter 30: We adults are a little bedridden
Early the next morning, the palace maid of Yun Xian Pavilion ran early to tell Yun Xian to get up.
"My lord, today is Your Majesty's birthday, we have to prepare early, you are not here these days, and the congratulatory gift for Your Majesty has not yet been prepared!"
Yun Xian was still in the clouds and fog, and her eyes were confused and she hugged the pillow and leaned against the bed.
"What a congratulatory gift......
Yun Xianxian grunted as she yawned and was about to lie down again.
The slave hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up.
"Don't sleep, sir, get up! It's time for the slaves to freshen up and dress up. ”
Looking at Yun Xian's groggy appearance, Jia'er Nu'er and Xiao Fan Xiaoyu all had sad faces.
"Hey! How good is that? ”
Just when several people were helpless, the voice of Su Maruko suddenly came from outside the door.
"Sisters, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."
"What?" Nu'er immediately frowned, remembering what had happened when she was in the East Palace before.
The appearance of the prince at that time really scared her.
At this moment, Jing Yibai is pacing back and forth in the main hall!
Wen Xi stood trembling in front of him. He knew that the goddess hadn't gotten up yet, and if he neglected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and made the other party unhappy, he was afraid that he would definitely take people out of anger!
"Your Highness, why don't you sit down and wait first, Su Maruko has already gone to invite the goddess."
"It doesn't matter! Hongu is standing here waiting! "Today, Jing Yibai specially came early in the morning to deliver things, and he got up before dawn, but he didn't expect Yun Xianxian to be so lazy and still sleeping.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Yun Xianxian was finally picked up by Jia'er and Nu'er.
"My lord, the prince has come to see you, wake up." Jia'er muttered quietly.
Without waiting for Yun Xianxian to open his eyes, Jing Yibai opened his mouth first.
"Was this drunk last night? Why do you look confused? ”
Jia'er hurriedly explained: "If you go back to Your Highness, our adults are a little in bed...... You take care of it. ”
Seeing Yun Xian Xian like this, the prince had no choice but to explain to the people below.
"Today's father's birthday, the officials in Changjun City will come to congratulate the birthday, and the goddess, as the only adult who lives in the palace, naturally has to offer congratulatory gifts to express her heart. This is a piece of fine jade, and it is a birthday gift prepared by this palace for your adults, and this palace will not stay much. ”
After putting the glass treasure box in his hand on the table, Jing Yibai strode away.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The palace people of Yunxian Pavilion all breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Yun Xianxian was also so noisy that she finally woke up.
"Huh?? Did the prince come just now? ”
Jia'er nodded hurriedly. "Grandma, you're sober."
"What is he doing here?" Turned around and glanced twice in the direction where Jing Yibai disappeared.
"Your Highness sent this gem to you, saying that it was prepared for you as a birthday gift for Your Majesty."
As soon as she heard that it was a fine gem, Yun Xianxian hurriedly rushed forward and opened the box.
"It's a good baby!"
Yun Xian couldn't bear to sigh.
This jade is cool to the touch, the jade is smooth, and there is a faint halo, it is very beautiful, but it makes Yun Xianxian a little loved.
This Jing Yibai usually looks indifferent to himself, and he can't imagine that he is so careful and thoughtful for himself.
After the early dynasty, there were ministers who presented congratulatory gifts one after another.
Jing Yibai's brain turned quickly, so Xiao Qin prepared a rockery sculpture, and ordered the palace people to build a base, put water in the base, and engraved the word "East China Sea" on the bottom of the water, and asked people to engrave "South Mountain" on the rockery.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty will like this birthday gift when you see it." Xiaode looked at the sculpture that was gradually taking shape, and immediately smiled and flattered.
"This is the brainchild of this palace, and my father will definitely love it! Haha~"
Since he was a child, he has a lot of ghost ideas, if the second brother is big and smart, then he is a little smart.
"Your Highness, you specially gave the jade to the goddess, aren't you afraid that the queen will be angry when she sees it?"
Xiao Qin always locked her eyebrows, and couldn't help but ask.
"Well! The queen mother is so generous, she shouldn't be angry! ”
Jing Yibai held his cheeks.
Birthday feasts usually start in the evening, but during the day, you need to count the list of attendees.
"Who are you today? Aren't they all old people! Concubine Yue is sitting in front of the mirror in the Changle Palace at the moment, being served by the palace maids to make up, and she still doesn't forget to chatter.
"Niangniang, have you forgotten, isn't the one in this West Wing a newcomer?!"
The palace maid said while helping Concubine Yue draw her eyebrows.
"You said Jade Concubine! Hongu had forgotten about this little slut. ”
Concubine Yue's face changed instantly.
"Mother, who do you say is the little slut?"
Just as Concubine Yue was displeased, a childish question came from behind her.
"Second princess."
All the ladies of the palace bowed to the little girl.
"Yueya, you go out with the nurse first, and the concubine will play with you later."
Concubine Yue changed her tone in an instant, and sent the nurse to quickly take the little princess out.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a wave of pride in my heart.
"At least there is at least a princess Yueya in this palace to rely on, look at the slut of the jade concubine, what else does she have besides being younger?"
"Yes, that's exactly what the mother said."
The palace maid hurriedly flattered.
It didn't take long for Concubine Yue to clean up almost here. was supported by his subordinates, and planned to go to the Qian'an Palace to attend the emperor's birthday banquet.
"Yueya, let's go!"
Holding the little princess's hand, Concubine Yue twisted her waist step by step and marched in the direction of the Qian'an Palace.
Because Changle Palace is close to Qian'an Palace, Concubine Yue was the first to arrive.
"Mother, please."
The father-in-law of the Qian'an Palace warmly welcomed Concubine Yue to her place.
Concubine Yue looked around and whispered to the fair:
"Why is the Sixteenth Prince here too?" Following Concubine Yue's line of sight, she just caught a glimpse of a young man.
"The sixteenth prince has turned fifteen years old this year, and according to the ancestral teachings, he can come out alone to attend the birthday banquet."
Concubine Yue nodded with an indifferent look.
She was just curious, and asked casually.
Soon, the jade concubine also hurried over from the Changle Palace.
"Niangniang, Niangniang left in too much hurry, and the concubine couldn't catch up with you."
The jade concubine saluted to Concubine Yue.
"Yo! I said Jade Concubine! Are you blaming this palace for not waiting for you? ”
Concubine Yue said with a displeased face.
"The concubine didn't dare to ...... The concubine is ......"
"Okay, okay, let's get seated! What to do with so many words! ”
Without waiting for Concubine Yu to say anything more, Concubine Yue interrupted her impatiently.
Soon, the masters of all the palaces arrived, and some high-ranking ministers were also allowed by His Majesty to enter the palace to attend the birthday banquet.
Yun Xian Slim's Yun Xian Pavilion was a little farther away from the Qian'an Palace, but fortunately, he also rushed over before the emperor entered the table.
Soon, the empress also accompanied the emperor to the Qian'an Palace.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, and the emperor was about to give the order to start, a shout suddenly sounded at the main entrance of the Qian'an Palace.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
Everyone got up from their seats when they heard this, and even the emperor stepped forward in three or two steps.
"Ministers, see Queen Mother."
"The son has seen the queen mother." The Emperor leaned over and saluted an old man.
"Get up!"
"Empress Dowager Xie."
After everyone got up, the emperor said with a concerned face:
"Queen Mother, you are not in good health, why don't you live and recuperate on the couch."
The emperor picked up the queen mother and slowly walked in the direction of the main seat.
The Queen Mother smiled on her face, and said as she walked: "The emperor is born today, how can the queen mother not come?" ”
The Emperor nodded, "Yes! The son's birthday, the mother's hard day, and the mother's hard work. ”
Yun Xianxian sat at the bottom, and couldn't stop sighing in her heart for the emperor's filial piety.
inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jing Yibai, and found that the other party was also looking at him, and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, and finally glanced away awkwardly.
Soon, the song and dance began. Yun Xianxian pretended to seriously appreciate the song and dance in front of her, ignoring Jing Yibai on the other side.
This ancient palace maid is graceful, and she looks good when she dances, but this makeup makes Yun Xianxian unacceptable.
After a song and dance, the eldest prince Jing Yicheng got up and saluted:
"Father, today's father's birthday, the sons sent someone to find the Nanshan stubborn stone to present to the father, may the father live a long life."
When everyone heard this, they all praised him, and the emperor also stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
"It's still orange with filial piety."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said to the emperor beside her.
Yun Xianxian was startled when the boulder was lifted up. What kind of stubborn stone is this, it's clearly marble! These buns of dirt buns are also regarded as treasures.
Just when everyone was full of praise for the eldest prince, Jing Yibai jumped out.
"The eldest brother's birthday greetings make the younger brother have some doubts, the father is the reincarnation of the real dragon, how can he only live this for a hundred years, and live long live!"
Jing Yicheng's cheeks were hot when he landed.
"You kid, don't embarrass your big brother anymore!"
The emperor hurriedly spoke.
"My father is kind. Now that the father and the emperor have opened their mouths, the child naturally does not dare to disobey. The prince rolled his eyes and said again: "Father, the son has also prepared a birthday gift for you." ”
After speaking, Jing Yibai waved lightly, and his father-in-law came in carrying a big tray.
Jing Yibai carefully opened the red satin on it.
When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up.
"This is the birthday gift carefully designed by the sons for their father, this mountain is called 'Nanshan', and this water is called 'East China Sea'. May my father's blessing be like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and his longevity will be better than the old pine of Nanshan! Long live the father, long live, long live! ”
Jing Tailong, who said this, couldn't help but get up from his seat.
"Hahahaha! The prince has a heart, it's rare! Someone, put the Nanshan Donghai that the prince gave to me in my bedroom. ”
"Yes." The eunuchs hurriedly complied.
Yun Xianxian snorted coldly in her heart. I didn't expect this Jing Yibai to really please the emperor! Any sculpture can make the emperor so happy.
Picking up the glass box in his hand, Yun Xian got up the courage to step forward.
"Your Majesty, this is a birthday gift from Xianxian to Your Majesty, and please accept it with a smile."
The emperor turned around and immediately respectfully took the glass box into his hand.
"Ouch! If the goddess gives it to me, I will definitely accept it. It's just that I don't know if the goddess has a heart, what did she give to me? ”
Jing Tai asked with a kind face.
"It's just a gem."
Yun Xian Xian's heart is empty.
After all, this thing was prepared by the prince for himself, and I don't know if the emperor has seen this jade, so it is inevitable that he will beat a drum in his heart.
However, the emperor did not see it, but the queen watched carefully.
I recognized the glass treasure box from afar.
When the emperor opened it in front of everyone, the queen's face suddenly changed.
