Chapter 397: The Birthday Cake That Shocked the Audience
The Third Prince is not only the god of war of the Great Chu Kingdom, but also the most prescient in terms of making money. More than ten years ago, the third prince used all his net worth to buy foundations and manors and fields in the capital.
After more than ten years of development, the capital has become more and more prosperous, and the land bought by the three princes has also built shops. It is all a prime location with a lot of foot traffic. You must know that ten years ago, the third prince was still a young man, and he had such an old vision.
In modern terms, the third prince is a real estate tycoon, and the first batch of people started by buying a house and buying a foundation.
It is conceivable how arrogant the third prince is, but his private property is currently under the full management of his own princess, and the land deed and house deed are all handed over to the princess.
In other words, Chu Huaijin's entire net worth was given to his own princess, and even the palace where the two of them lived was hung in the princess's name. If the two of them get together one day, he will be the one who leaves the house.
However, Chu Huaijin has only loved the princess in his life, and in his cognition, there is no harmony, only widowhood.
All the ministers thought that the third prince would give a unique thing of great value. No one expected that the third prince would give a particularly meaningful birthday gift.
When a huge blessing tree was resisted by more than a dozen strong guards, the audience was in an uproar, and some people couldn't understand which one the three princes were making trouble?
How did this get to the third prince, and he didn't play cards according to the routine?
The third prince is so rich, why did he give the emperor a tree? I have to say that it is the third prince to save money, and he can send someone to cut down a tree and present it to the emperor as a birthday gift.
"The tree of the emperor's brother and brother is actually a blessing tree for all the people, and the people of Beijing will go to the Huguo Temple every year to pray for the saint on the day before the Wanshou Festival.
The red cloth strips hanging on this tree are full of blessings from the people of Beijing to the imperial brother. The younger brother thought that the imperial brother must be a generation of Ming Jun in the hearts of the people, and he was very prestigious. The people are so sincere in praying for the blessing of the royal brother.
It is a blessing for the people to have such a good emperor who serves the country and the people. It is also a blessing for the royal brother to have these people who are so loyal and grateful. Chu Huaijin stood in the hall with a tall and pine-like figure, and his loud words echoed in the hall.
When the ministers heard the words of the third prince, they were all impressed.
I didn't expect this tree to have such a deep meaning, and since ancient times, there have been people who have won the hearts of the people and won the world.
The people can sincerely pray for the emperor on the eve of the Wanshou Festival, which shows that the emperor is deeply loved by the people. Won the hearts of the people.
The emperor knows about this, can he not be happy? This is more than giving something valuable, which makes the emperor happy!
The emperor was indeed very happy, his indifferent royal brother would please him, the imperial brother, and take such great trouble to prepare a birthday gift for him.
Joy is full of emotion.
The emperor happily walked down from the dragon chair and walked to the blessing tree in the hall. Randomly remove a strip of red cloth with sloppy handwriting and even typos.
However, these did not affect the sincerity of the people, he read out the people's prayers in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "The people are willing to live for ten years, and the emperor is healthy." ”
"The little girl is willing not to marry for the rest of her life, she only wants the country and the people to be safe, the wind and rain are smooth, and the emperor is safe and smooth."
………
The emperor read a few blessing tapes, and he was in a better mood. Walk back to the dragon chair and sit down.
"The birthday gift given to me by my brother is of great significance, and I like it the most. The blessing tree given by the younger brother won my heart. I will send someone to transplant this blessing tree to the Imperial Garden. Come and reward the three princes heavily. ”
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also echoed, and by the way, they blew the rainbow fart of the third prince of Bo.
The ministers gave birthday gifts one after another. One by one, the ministers gave what they thought to be the most expensive treasures in their homes.
When the minister's birthday gift was finished, all the ministers thought that the gift-giving link was over and the palace banquet could be opened.
I heard the third prince get up and stand up, and a cold voice sounded in the hall: "Imperial brother, the princess of this king has specially prepared a surprise for the imperial brother." ”
"The three princesses have a heart, and I am looking forward to the surprise that the three princesses have prepared for me." The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a very happy expression.
He had so many surprises today, he thought it was over, but he didn't expect to receive a surprise at the end. Rao is he, the emperor, inevitably has to get excited.
The ministers were also quite curious about the surprise in the mouth of the third prince. Looking forward to it, I sat in the hall for more than two hours, and I was already hungry.
I just wanted to end the gift-giving session early and hurry up to eat.
All the ministers were hungry and weak, and they couldn't lift their spirits.
It wasn't until Kapok asked someone to push out the eight-layer cake on a special wooden cart.
The eyes of the ministers in the palace lit up, and the rich smell of milk came to their nostrils.
Rao: They haven't seen what this is? I also know that this thing can be eaten.
The spiritual heads of the ministers who saw the food came again. They all sat up straight.
Even the emperor, queen, and queen mother who were sitting on the high seat all had bright eyes.
The three of them had tasted the small cake made of kapok, and knew that this thing was soft and sweet. I've never seen such a big cake.
The emperor has lost his expression management, and his surprised expression can't be hidden.
"I know that this thing made by the third princess is called a cake." The emperor opened his mouth proudly, and accepted the envious gazes of the ministers by the way.
Ministers: The emperor is still well-informed, and he knows that this thing is called a cake.
Not to mention that they haven't seen it, even if it's the first time they've heard it.
"The emperor is right, this is the cake. The concubine read a lot of foreign books, and knew that some countries overseas would prepare such a cream cake to celebrate their birthdays. This is not the same as the prince specially prepared such a cake to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Kapok added. By the way, mention the third master as well.
As the princess of the third master, she does everything on behalf of the third master. Now on such a palace banquet occasion, she has earned enough face for the third master.
"My imperial brother, the imperial brother-in-law has a heart. This year's Halloween Festival was the most enjoyable. I want to reward you both severely. "The emperor saw such a big cake in front of him, and Long Yan was very happy.
As soon as Kapok heard this, she knew that the royal family was very arrogant and rewarded at every turn.
She got so many rewards for such a palace banquet, which others can't spend in a few lifetimes and generations.
The capital is just a tree and a cake, and I have received a lot of rewards. It's a win.
All the ministers looked at the third princess with envy, and they received a lot of rewards.
This gave them the illusion that the emperor would reward people casually.
But some old ministers have obviously been officials for most of their lives, and the rewards they get from the emperor can be counted with a slap.
Some old ministers have not even received as many rewards as the three princesses of the family for most of their lives, and they have received as many rewards as a palace banquet on a longevity day.
It's a little heart-wrenching......
