Halfway through the birthday banquet, the Queen Mother excused herself to be tired and returned to Shoukang Palace early.

Mr. Yi didn't know if he had forgotten it before, or if he was just waiting for this moment, so he hurriedly sent the birthday cake.

The six-tiered birthday cake is as big as a laundry tub at the bottom, and it is stacked on the top layer, which is three feet high.

Chen Xi's craftsmanship, never have to doubt!

The whole six floors, all the pattern design, all the words longevity are vividly reflected.

The color scheme is lively and festive, but not tacky.

It's the emperor, and it's the first time I've seen him.

happily moved the wooden knife, cut a knife to make a shape, and then filled the top "longevity peach" to taste, and the rest was carried by the little eunuch and divided into pieces.

Everyone was flattered.

This is a "long live" birthday cake, and a little blessing is enough to be proud and proud for a long time.

Of course, smart people are even more sure that the rumors are true.

In the white clouds that make this birthday cake, there must be a share of the emperor!

Because, only their own business will sell so hard.

That's right, it's a sales pitch!

The dignified emperor, the lord of a country, has said three times in a row that it is delicious!

Jiayin secretly covered her mouth, laughed non-stop, and when she saw the "big boss" looking over, she secretly gave him a thumbs up!

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that the birthday banquet was over, and everyone left the palace one after another.

When he was able to get into the carriage of the Hou Mansion and there was only his own family in the carriage, Jiayin had no scruples, sat next to the Hou Ye and said goodbye.

"Father-in-law, second uncle, that old witch is simply too bad!"

Hou Ye and Li Lao Er both guessed who the old witch she was talking about, Hou Ye's eyes flashed with coldness, but Li Lao Er subconsciously looked out the window, worried that the wall had ears.

Jia Yin lowered her voice, told her about Shoukang Palace, and pouted at the end, "The third princess is still as stupid as ever, speaking ill of her mouth in front of so many people, I'm afraid everyone knows that she has a bad character."

"And the eldest princess, I thought she was a black-bellied and difficult person, but I didn't expect it to be as good as the aunts in our village.

"The speech is yin and yang, sour, and there is no princess bearing at all.

"Of course, the worst is the old witch. At the beginning, she provoked trouble, and in the end, she jumped out to play a round and calm things down. Luckily I'm smart, otherwise I'd be a good person! ”

Hou Ye and Li Lao Er originally had bad faces, but when they heard the last sentence, they both laughed again.

"You girl, you can't forget your boasting."

Hou Ye rubbed the fat girl's hair and said, "If you do well today, you should be so hard." The eldest princess has already shown that she is your enemy, even if you tolerate it, she will not reflect on it, she will only gain an inch.

"Beat back like this, the next time she wants to stir up trouble, she should be afraid, afraid that you will ignore it again and let her continue to lose face."

Li Lao Er frowned and said: "It stands to reason that an eldest princess should not be so ungraceful, and it is difficult for the same child to be embarrassed for a dim sum shop." I'm afraid that if there is something in it, I still have to step up my investigation. ”

Jiayin was worried that the second uncle was in a hurry, and if he fell into the trap, he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Second uncle, don't worry about this, since you know that she is not friendly to our family, she will definitely make a move in the future, and there will always be a time when she shows her feet.

"On the Baiyun side, the manpower is quite reliable, and there is the emperor behind her, so she doesn't dare to calculate behind her back.

"Therefore, we are sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, she is restrained, no matter how you look at it, we have a better chance of winning."

Li Lao Er nodded, "Okay, the second uncle will check slowly, don't take it lightly!" ”

Mama He on the side had been listening quietly, and when she saw that the masters had finished speaking, she whispered.

"Master Hou, uncle, the old slave went around the palace a few times today and met the two old sisters who were friends at the beginning. One of them is now in charge of the rough envoy palace of Shoukang Palace.

"We had a meal secretly, during which an inconspicuous maid came to rest, and my old sister went out to talk to her with a very polite expression.

"I asked more, my old sister drank a little too much, and said that once she happened to see this palace maid and the eunuch in charge of Ronghua Palace...... The relationship is very good. Therefore, she didn't dare to offend. ”

"Ronghua Palace?" Li Lao Er didn't react for a while, and Hou Ye reminded, "Where the concubine and the second prince live." ”

Li Lao Er suddenly realized, then squinted his eyes and asked: "Didn't you say that the concubine's family is just an ordinary five-grade official, and after entering the palace, her biological parents passed away due to illness."

"The emperor also doted on her because of this, and even after she gave birth to the second prince, he directly sealed the concubine, is it ......?"

He didn't finish his words, but Hou Ye had already understood.

Hou Ye thought about it, and instructed everyone, "Don't mention these words again in the future." ”

"Yes, Master Hou." Mama He and Shui Ling Shui Yun hurriedly responded.

Jiayin blinked his eyes twice, and was about to ask a question, but he had already slapped his little head twice by Hou Ye, and instructed, "The affairs of the court are handled by our adults, you are a child, don't worry about it." ”

Jiayin had no choice but to nod his head and extinguish the fire of gossip in his heart.

What can be done, it can't be said that she is an old cucumber with green paint, a real old goblin of two lifetimes, right?

What palace maids and eunuchs are eating, she knows what is going on, the queen mother and the concubine hide from the world, she can also guess some.

After all, dozens of palace fights in the previous life were not for nothing......

In the imperial study, the emperor was a little drunk because he drank a few glasses of wine at the banquet.

He changed out of his heavy dragon robe, put on his regular clothes, and picked a kumquat casually, and after eating it, he actually felt that his drowsy brain was much clearer, and his stomach was also comfortable.

He smiled and said, "Fu Niu'er's birthday gift is really good, beautiful and delicious." ”

Mr. Yi made fun of it and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave often thinks that the Li family is magical, and there are always some strange good things.

"This kumquat is common in the southwest, but it is rare in Xindu. I heard that because of the different water and soil, it is not easy to feed. As a result, the county lord not only fed it, but also raised it so well!

"Xu is this kumquat also knows that it is raised to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, so he doesn't dare to grow badly......"

"Haha, you old slave, did you steal the cake today, your mouth is getting more and more slippery." The emperor was coaxed to be happy.

Before he could speak, Gonggong Feng came in, and said with a careful smile: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess asked to see her, saying that she was going to offer a birthday gift!" ”

The emperor smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Let her in." ”

Soon, the third princess walked in with the palace maid.

As soon as she saw the emperor, she paid a big salute to congratulate her father on his long life.

It was rare for the emperor to see her so restrained and regular, and he was a little soft-hearted for a while, so he called her forward.

The third princess held a pair of shoes sewn by herself in front of the emperor, and said cautiously: "Father, my daughter is clumsy and can't make complicated clothes, so I only sewed these shoes, and I hope my father won't dislike it." ”

The emperor was a little surprised when he saw that the stitches of the shoes were very crude.

Could it be that this daughter has changed sex, and she can actually calm down and do needlework?!

But that's not all!

The third princess then took out a white porcelain plate, and put a piece of wedding cake on the plate, with a big longevity word embedded in the middle.

She said with some apprehension: "Father, this is a birthday cake baked by a daughter in the oven, although it is not as good as the birthday cake, but it is also a piece of filial piety for her daughter." ”
