Chapter 51: Worship by the Ministers
Lan Ying held Long Xiying's hand and said: "The slave begs the princess to allow the slave to leave the palace for a day today, at sunset, the slave and maid will rush back to the palace, the slave knows that today is the princess's birthday, and she should accompany the princess, but the slave and maid really need to go out of the palace urgently, and I hope the princess will be fulfilled." β
Long Xiying looked at Lan Ying with a haggard and sad face, and her heart was also full of emotion, since she was a child in the deep palace, although she was favored by the imperial brother, but the people in the deep palace are unpredictable, only Lan Ying can make herself feel at ease, and she can also be honest with each other, she lifted her skirt slightly, straightened up, helped Lan Ying, and picked up a crystal clear, phoenix-like jade pendant from the dresser and put it in the palm of her hand: "This jade pendant was given to me by my father before his death, with it, you can enter and leave the palace at will, and now I give it to you, I hope it can solve your urgent need." β
Lan Ying's phoenix eyes were full of tears, and she was choked up and speechless, and she wrote down the princess's kindnessγγγγγγ
Around noon, the guests arrived one after another, and almost all the ministers of the dynasty came with their families and thousands of expensive gifts.
Those sons and buddies, today they are all dressed in brocade and jade robes, tied with hair and crowns, dressed up gracefully, handsome and chic, looking high-spirited, so spirited, and they all know each other: although it is clear that it is the birthday of Princess Xiying today, it is actually a good son-in-law for the princess, such a high branch, if you can climb it, you will be blessed for a lifetime, who doesn't want to be a concubine, Qingyun straight up?
The feast was held in the Imperial Garden.
This is the autumn is strong, the day of the chrysanthemum in full bloom, the thousand leaf chrysanthemum, silver chrysanthemum, chamomile, golden chrysanthemum, blue eye, five-color chrysanthemum, calendula, cornflower, cosmos, cinchona, purple echinacea, snake chrysanthemum, celestial chrysanthemum, helichrysum, marigold, peacock chrysanthemum, cliff chrysanthemum, etc., all kinds of chrysanthemums compete with each other, compete for beauty, just like the women in this palace all the flowers and branches, try their best to do their best just for a glance of Bo Tianzi.
"The emperor has arrived-" A slender voice came from far and near, and the originally boiling and noisy imperial garden suddenly fell silent, and everyone knelt down, their foreheads tilted to the ground, shouting 'Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live' to welcome the emperor's arrival.
Then I saw Long Qian, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, striding on the high platform, and on the left and right sides were sitting with Dai Chunrong, the queen who combed her peony hair and wore a phoenix hairpin on her forehead, and Princess Xiying, who was dressed in sky blue palace clothes.
Everyone shouted a few more times: "The queen mother is auspicious, the princess is Chitose Chitose Chitose!" β
A majestic and gentle voice said: "Let's all be flat, today is Princess Xiying's birthday, all Aiqing don't have to be formal, sit down and have fun!" β
The officials tidied up their clothes, thanked the emperor, and got up and sat down.
At this time, a young man wearing an openwork brown official robe knelt down with a finely carved brocade box in both hands and said: "Chen Chengzhan is celebrating the princess's birthday today, and he will dedicate the family heirloom seven-star short dagger to the princess for self-defense. β
Long Xiying bowed his head and said: "General Lao Cheng is bothered." β
Cheng Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to retreat, but Long Qian said: "Your father died for the country, I am deeply heartbroken, and I will always mourn your deceased father in the future." Serve the court well, and I won't treat you badly! β
Cheng Zhan bowed his head again and said: "The minister respectfully obeys the emperor's holy decree, and will definitely swear to serve the court to the death and be loyal to the Dragon Kingdom!" Loyal to the Emperor! β
This worship also led a large number of people to lead their children to present together, hoping that the emperor and the princess's eyes could stay on her children, so that the family's prosperity was just around the corner.
