Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Birthday Banquet and the Marriage

As the words of the servant fell, everyone who was standing upright knelt and bowed, and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the empress dowager, the queen mother, the queen ”

The bright yellow guard of honor representing the royal family slowly approached, and when it came to everyone, the emperor spoke: "Today is the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager, you Aiqing don't have to be polite, you all have to be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Although the emperor said that there was no need to be polite, how could the spirits who had been in this capital for so long not understand, this was just polite words, and as a minister, the etiquette still had to be comprehensive. Then they got up from the ground completely, and were led by the chamberlain to sit down before their seats.

In this way, this birthday banquet can be regarded as officially begun.

This kind of scene is naturally not something that Bai Luochu, a maid, can move. However, Bai Luochu's purpose was not here, yes, he just stood beside the second prince and waited, without making any sound. If possible, Bai Luochu would prefer to become an invisible person.

As soon as the birthday banquet began, the emperor opened his mouth and said some words to everyone present: "Thank you Aiqing for coming to congratulate you on your birthday. ”

"I wish the Empress Dowager mother, as blessed as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan" during the banquet, everyone echoed and drank the wine in front of them.

"The grandson made a special trip a few days ago, in order to find a birthday gift for the queen mother, and the grandson, as the eldest grandson of the royal family, naturally wanted to come out first to set an example for his younger brothers. ”

The person who spoke was handsome and extraordinary, even if there was a shallow scar on his right eye, but he still couldn't hide the noble face, and the only thing that could be called a shortcoming was that this person's eyes were too fierce, which made people feel afraid at a glance.

Isn't that the eldest prince? This is the eldest prince who bought himself and raised it well?

Thinking of this, Bai Luochu couldn't help lowering his head, although he had never seen the eldest prince, but in case the eldest prince knew her, it was better to avoid it, so as not to be recognized.

After the eldest prince sent someone to present the gift, he continued: "Sun Er originally wanted to find a piece of white crystal with a clear body, and then paint on it with his spiritual power, but I didn't expect that by chance, Sun Er would find such a strange stone. ”

After that, let the little guy lift the flannel that covered the congratulatory gift.

I saw that there are some colors scattered in the center of this crystal, which is not clear, but this color is a naturally formed pine crane longevity diagram from a distance, and this crystal is out of the central pine crane longevity diagram, and it is indeed considered to be transparent throughout, no wonder this prince is in such a hurry to come out, I am afraid that he wants to compare everyone after him.

"Okay! It's really a strange stone! The good grandson has a heart, come here, reward ten strings of Dongzhu!" Before the eldest prince could continue to explain, the empress dowager had already praised the eldest prince with a happy face, and gave the eldest prince a reward.

Since the eldest prince, there are princes who have come forward to offer congratulatory gifts, but there are the prince's pearls and jades in front, and the gifts behind are a little unremarkable, if it can still be called good, it is the pine tree made of coral offered by the second prince and the elixir sent by the third prince is said to be an elixir that can prolong life, but more or less are intentions, and the queen mother is also unambiguous, and the grandchildren who came forward to give gifts have rewarded some objects.

In this way, these parts of gift-giving are considered to be in the past.

Immediately afterwards, a girl dressed in emerald cloud brocade stood up and saluted the Empress Dowager and said: "Today's birthday banquet, the courtiers are willing to dance a song to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday." ”

It was none other than the Empress Dowager's mother-in-law, Su Luoqing.

"Okay, Qing'er really has a heart. "Today's dance is instructed by the Queen Mother, for no other reason, since this maiden daughter has always been concerned about the second prince, the Queen Mother wants to marry the two in the name of the birthday banquet.

After Su Luoqing changed into a dance dress, she danced to the sound of ritual music in this hall, and the dance was really charming, that is, the pair of eyes were almost glued to the second prince, so it was inevitable that people could not see her intentions.

It's a pity that the goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no intention, until Su Luoqing's dance is over, Pei Qingfeng never raised his eyes to look at her, which made Su Luoqing inevitably sad, but he still turned his head and said congratulations to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager naturally noticed it, and she also understood in her heart that these two princes were not interested in their own daughters, but they were afraid that today's marriage would be difficult!

When Miss Feng saw it, she was not to be outdone, so she dragged Miss Li and began to perform the prepared show.

Miss Feng played the piano to accompaniment, while Miss Li followed the sound of the piano to draw on the blank screen. Qu Luo painted it, and the Empress Dowager knew Miss Feng's thoughts, so she didn't like it.

But in the end, so many people can't just lose their face, but they just praised a few words without saltiness, but glanced at this Miss Li family: "Your screen painting is really good, over time, I think I can compete with those people in the world." After finishing speaking, I also rewarded this Miss Li family with a lot of things.

When those noble ladies saw that these two talents were so good before, they were not to be outdone, and they came forward to say that they wanted to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager with this talent, and the Empress Dowager was also happy to see it, after all, these princes have also reached the age of marrying wives.

After that, the talents were also mediocre, if it can be called the highlight is the sword dance of the young lady of the martial arts, which attracted praise from many people present.

"Today is my birthday banquet, it is a happy event, now it is better to be happy, what do you say, Qingfeng?" The Queen Mother saw that all the young ladies had finished performing, and she opened her mouth to prepare to detour this topic to give marriage, and the Queen Mother also understood the Queen Mother's thoughts, so she did not speak to the Queen Mother.

Pei Qingfeng instinctively felt that he wanted to give himself a marriage, and he didn't say too much, so he pretended to be confused, and said: "That's natural, but I don't know what kind of joy you mean by 'happy and happy'?"

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager knew in her heart, I was afraid that this marriage would not be successful, but now that she had to speak, she had to continue: "Grandson, you have also reached the age of marriage, I think you and Qing'er are very compatible, why don't you give you two a marriage, what do you think?"

Pei Qingfeng's face did not change, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
