The queen's birthday banquet can be described as a brilliant and shining color, the four corners of the palace are arranged with gold basket beads hanging, the long phoenix table is full of elixir, the twelve instrumental bronze bells in the center of the hall are kneeling beside the drum of a row of graceful palace maids, interpreting the sound of the ceremony, everything here shows the abundant wealth of the South Soviet Union.

I knew that this was the queen's birthday banquet, I didn't know that I thought it was a state banquet, this full house of wealth actually gathered the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty, and even the people who originally took refuge in Gu Zhiqi also sat down, and there were quite a few people overcrowded in the hall.

Prince Gu Zhixian sat at the head of the bottom, leaning on the cushion, holding a glass and not knowing what he was thinking.

"The emperor has arrived—the queen has arrived—" The shrill voice of the announcement made the originally lively hall quiet down for a moment.

"The ministers welcome the holy driver, and welcome the phoenix. Long live the emperor, long live, long live the mother! When they saw that the Lord was coming, they knelt down one after another.

"Flat." The emperor looked a little thin, and his face was slightly vicissitudes, but it seemed that he had been sick for some days.

"Your Majesty." Everyone got up and sat down again, but not as wanton as they had just been.

"The grace of heaven is vast, I feel that the queen's mother is virtuous and virtuous in the world, and she is admired by all the people. The old eunuch beside the emperor read out the reward.

The queen got up and saluted the man sitting on the dragon chair, but there was not much love in her eyes.

"A pair of phoenix-patterned porcelain vases on the left side of the Imperial Pavilion——"

"The Ministry of Officials presents a splendid Wenpei——"

"The imperial history of the household department presents a long piece of pearl - a pair of fur and beard jackets and golden phoenix boots——"

"His Royal Highness King An presents a pair of gold and jade carved bracelets——"

“……”

The lengthy gift list, but everyone present listened carefully to it, until everyone found that there was no one among them, the prince Gu Zhixian.

"Father, mother, and son have prepared a special gift, which will surely make the father and queen healthy and the queen mother happy." Gu Zhixian had already made a calculation, and before everyone was talking, he stepped forward and said.

"Oh? Since Xian'er has this intention, I am very pleased. The emperor didn't have much expression and said lightly.

"Xian'er has a heart." Although the queen's words were brief, the look of relief on her face was overflowing.

"Seeshan hermit, please." Gu Zhixian commanded gently, and then a thin Taoist priest with immortal wind bones stepped neatly and entered the main hall.

"See the emperor and the queen." The hermit of Mingshan went to the hall without nervousness and panic, and saluted calmly.

"No courtesy." Not only the two superiors, but also the civil and military officials and their families in the audience all looked at this Taoist priest curiously.

"Hyun'er, what is this?" The queen was a little puzzled, didn't she send a Taoist priest to give her a blessing?

"A few days ago, the son got the guidance of the hermit of Mingshan, and felt that the affairs of the common people in the world could not be ignored, so he sent someone to set up a soup soup table for ten days to accumulate blessings for his father." Gu Zhixian said first.

"The prince is virtuous and virtuous, and his love for the people is well known." As soon as he said that, the minister followed suit.

"It's also a blessing for the country that I have a prince like the prince in Nansu!" Someone else stepped forward.

"Yes, what Master Li said is very true, the crown prince is a model for our courtiers, and we will definitely take this to heart." Those ministers stood up one after another, and nothing but said good things for Gu Zhixian.

"The crown prince is a dragon among men, and the future of Nansu needs such a monarch to rule." Even Gu Zhiqi's people said such things, in their opinion, it was nothing more than seeing that the second prince had run out of energy, so they had to turn their heads and show favor to the prince.

However, as soon as these words came out, the emperor sitting above frowned slightly. He always knew that Gu Zhixian was supported by many ministers in the court, but he didn't know that he was already a man in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so where was the majesty of being an emperor? What does it mean to say in front of the emperor that the future of the country lies in the heirs?

Gu Zhixian's face showed a slight look of pride, but he quickly let him collect it, and then said: "The hermit of Mingshan said that when he was traveling, he saw a piece of heaven-sent jade falling into the South Lake, and there was the blessing source of my Nansu on it. Erchen sent someone to find the stone for three days to fish out this stone, and today it is dedicated to the queen mother, wishing the queen mother eternal green. After Gu Zhixian finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.

God-given jade, is it really fake?

"Your Majesty, this piece of jade is made of the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, at that time, this matter was used as tea by the fishermen by the South Lake to talk for a long time, and the poor road coincidentally married to the prince, and did not want to see such a spiritual creature buried in the water forever without seeing the light of day. And this thing, only the prince can salvage it, it is the great fortune of Nansu! The Mingshan hermit finished these words meticulously, and there was an unquestionable meaning in his tone.

"The prince has a heart, since it is the time when the sky falls, it is the destiny of the heavens, and your queen mother will be happy." When the emperor said this, Xian'er's title had changed to the crown prince.

"Xian'er has a heart." The queen was overjoyed to see that her son had now received such support. yes, isn't everything she does for today?

Everyone was also skeptical, and they all wanted to see what this thing looked like.

"Someone, bring the jade up." Gu Zhixian saw that the time was ripe, so he sent someone to carry the jade in from outside.

Everyone saw that this jade was not big, and there was only a hug for it. The body surface is transparent, without any flaws, it looks crystal clear, and it seems to be through people's hearts after looking at it for a long time, and it is a treasure.

"Xian'er, is there anything special about this jade?" The queen didn't see anything special after looking at it for a long time, it was nothing more than a bigger white and brighter one, but this jade could neither be made into a bracelet nor a hairpin? There are many jade stones in the palace that are better than this.

"Queen Mother, please look." Gu Zhixian smiled, and as he spoke, he picked up the duck tail lamp on the table and shone it on the jade.

"There are prosperous lords and virtuous people in the south." Those who were close exclaimed, and the jade saw the bright light and showed handwriting.

It's just that everyone's eyes were focused on the stone, and they didn't notice that the expression on the emperor's face changed slightly at that moment after seeing the line of words.

"Your Majesty, this stone is a divine stone, indicating that my Nansu will be prosperous!" Just like just now, the man was the first to stand up and slap the ass.

"Your Majesty, there is a prosperous lord in the south, and it is our Nansu who is talking about it!" Then there was no shortage of people to greet them.

"Yes, Your Majesty, isn't it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the virtuous man is talking about?" One of the ministers who was originally Gu Zhiqi said in surprise.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's life has its own virtuous words, and he has done his best for the people over the years, it seems that this is God's favor for my Nansu!" The other hurriedly stepped forward to echo.

"Your Majesty is blessed, Niangniang is blessed, Your Highness is blessed!" Everyone turned out to be unified, and they all talked about Gu Zhixian's goodness, and said that Gu Zhixian said that there are no things in the sky and no in the earth, and even Gu Zhiqi's people greeted them one by one.

Gu Zhixian looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground with satisfaction, in the eyes of the prince's people, the situation was decided, even if that person made a dying struggle last night, it would be useless in the face of today's grand scene.

The emperor's eyes deepened, and a smile gradually appeared on the prince's face.

"It seems that the crown prince has won the love of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, I am deeply grateful! Mingshan hermit, good! Reward—" The Emperor said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After receiving the reward, the hermit of Mingshan retreated, as if he was in a hurry, but everyone didn't care, just because he was not used to such a scene.

"Father, this is what the sons should do, as long as they can see the prosperity of Nansu rising, the sons and daughters don't pay much." Gu Zhixian bowed his head slightly and returned the salute.

"Alright, Xian'er sit down quickly." The queen smiled softly.

As soon as the prince sat down, two rows of dancing girls danced in the hall, graceful and graceful, with water waist and snake wrists, so beautiful. Everyone who had just finished filming the sycophants also sat down satisfied, and admired it with relish.

"I heard that the Su family class was invited to sing today." A lady whispered to the side.

"Really? Isn't this Su family class not singing for the powerful? Some on the side didn't believe it.

"My lord is the leader of this banquet, this Su family class is just talking, the royal people are invited, is there any reason not to come?" The lady was clearly a little unhappy with the other party's distrust.

"That's what I said, that Su Luo is a talent, I don't know what it is?" The man next to him asked.

"Isn't it that you have a beloved daughter—" the lady quipped.

"Naturally not, how can a drama match the daughter of the Governor's Mansion?" The man next to him then replied disdainfully.

In the eyes of these women, no matter how famous the drama is, the higher the horn is praised, it is just a drama. Not to mention that compared with them, even ordinary merchants can't compare. This is why Su Luo accepted the love of the peach, just to change his voice and change the position of a play!

"Su Jiaban presents "Covering the Sky", I wish the queen mother a phoenix body and good health, and enjoy eternal blessings!" After a few dance music, the people of the Su family class really went to the palace.

Su Luo is still pretending to be a child, and this play is about a powerful person who is ostensibly giving porridge and distributing money, but in fact he is just hypocrisy, and he has to be rich and unkind. Su Luo was originally a poor scholar who went to the city to take the exam, although he was full of poetry and books, he did not dare to be a lackey for the powerful, and exposed this person's evil deeds among the people. Who knew that not only was this person not investigated, but he went to prison for unknown crimes. The powerful man killed everyone who stood in his way for the sake of his future, including him. At the time of the execution, he swore that if he was wronged, it would snow in June and blood would be splattered in vain. Sure enough, the moment the head hit the ground, goose feathers and heavy snow fell from the sky, and the blood stained white practice was in full swing but did not touch the ground.

Everyone was moved, there was no shortage of people who wept, and even the queen gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Good!" I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and there was applause in the hall, no one knew that Su Jiaban's play was written by Tao Yaoyao himself, and Tao Yaoyao asked Su Luo to rehearse in advance, for today!

At this moment, a proclamation voice sounded, and everyone was surprised and looked at the place where they came.

"His Royal Highness King An has arrived—"
