"The birthday banquet has officially begun, and music is played." As Cao Zhengchun's words fell, the magnificent palace banquet sounded.

The princes and princesses and ministers toasted to the queen one after another, and several young princes and princesses drank fruit wine, which tasted sweet.

Emperor Wu has a rare hearty drink, as the king of a country, he must always stay sober.

"Brother Seven, this fruit wine is really good, it's just a little less." Zhao Ziyu licked the wine glass, and got rid of a little drunkard.

"Oh, you like to drink this." Zhao Zili shook the wine glass, isn't this the product of the fruit soaked in wine and diluted with water.

Zhao Ziyu nodded frantically and said, "It's a pity that this thing can't be bought outside at all, or it won't taste good." ”

"Don't worry, you like Brother Qi to do it for you." Zhao Zili is sure to make fruit wine that tastes even better than this, and the technology of distilling liquor in his previous life is also very familiar.

Speaking of which, I have been in this world for so long, and I really don't know much about the diet of this world, so it seems that it is necessary to study it well in the future.

"Really? Seventh brother, you are too powerful. "I just ate super delicious lotus seed soup a few days ago, and now there is fruit wine to drink, Zhao Ziyu is so excited that he is about to fly.

"Ahem, bring two bottles to the sixth sister too." Zhao Zifeng's face turned red, as a lady, she was known to like to drink, which damaged her image.

Zhao Zili didn't expect the gentle sixth sister to be so good, and sure enough, people can't look good, so they agreed at the moment.

"That, that, Seventh Brother... Can I join in the fun. The eighth Zhao Zicheng said timidly, and his little hand reached over silently.

Zhao Zili almost didn't fall off the stool, feeling that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a group of drunkards.

His eyes glanced not far away, and the eldest prince and the second prince had an endless aftertaste after drinking the fruit wine.

Emperor Wu raised his hand and pressed it down, and for a while there was no sound, and the falling needles could be heard.

"Today is the Queen's birthday, and your gifts are ready." Emperor Wu smiled and said, "I will give you a colorful head, whose gift can make the queen the most satisfied, this gold and jade jade pendant is his." ”

Suddenly everyone's eyes lit up, if they could get the jade pendant given by Emperor Wu himself, it would be a supreme honor.

"Father, let the sons come first." Zhao Zilin stood up, as the eldest prince, he had to take the lead at this time, and his momentum won half of it.

Emperor Wu nodded, this eldest son has his demeanor: "Okay, worthy of being my son, you should be the first gift." ”

Zhao Zilin was overjoyed and saw that he had done the right thing. With a wave of his hand, the Forbidden Army lifted up a huge screen, which was covered with red cloth.

"Queen Mother, Erchen knows that you like embroidery, and specially looking for a skilled craftsman to present you with a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix."

As soon as Zhao Zilin's voice fell, he uncovered the red cloth, and a huge embroidery was displayed in front of everyone.

The embroidery is one meter high and about two meters long, and ninety-nine different birds are clustered around the noblest phoenix in the middle, and the whole embroidery is done with gold thread.

Embroidery and embroidery are diverse, beautiful, dizzying, the poem is inscribed: 100 steps and nine folds linger on the rocks, and the birds look at the soles of the treetops. The morning sun shines on the green poplar smoke, and the phoenix platform looks at Luoyang.

"Okay, Your Majesty, this hundred birds like the concubine of the Fengchen." Queen Nangong likes it very much, and the hundred birds and the phoenix are in line with her current state of mind.

Zhao Zilin was overjoyed, it seemed that the trick of doing what he liked really worked.

"Now it's Erchen's turn." Zhao Ziyan stood up, glanced at Zhao Zilin, and walked in front of Emperor Wu.

"Okay, your eldest brother's congratulatory queen likes it very much." Emperor Wu said.

"Father, rest assured, the congratulatory gift of the son-in-law will definitely not be lost to the eldest brother, so bring it up."

The forbidden army walked up again carrying a heavy object, and Zhao Ziyan's congratulatory gift was even bigger than Zhao Zilin's. It also looks heavier.

"Father, my son found an auspicious fortune from heaven in Taihu Lake not long ago, just in time for the queen's birthday, it's really a double happiness, please see."

Zhao Ziyan pulled down the red cloth, and a huge stone appeared in front of everyone.

"Hey, this stone looks like a cursive character for longevity, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." Empress Nangong looked at it, it was obviously naturally formed at this time, and it was a longevity in shape.

"Yes, yes, it's really a gift from heaven." Emperor Wu was also very happy, it seems that Da Zhou is really still favored by God.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Niangniang." The ministers cheered, and the ministers were already familiar with this kind of thing.

Zhao Ziyan glanced at Zhao Zilin provocatively, the latter's face was as usual, but his heart was a little turbulent, he didn't think that he really underestimated this second brother.

"Ziyan, you have a heart, this palace even loves it, but you also want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give them to Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty a long life."

Empress Nangong was exquisite, and sure enough, Emperor Wu was even more smiling this time.

"Fourth, it's your turn." Emperor Wu looked at his fourth son.

Zhao Zilei, the king of Jiujiang, was seventeen years old, and he was powerful and powerful, and he returned to the capital on the birthday of the queen of the fief.

's mother is Concubine Ling, and her relationship with the queen is not bad.

"Erchen obeyed the order, Erchen lived in Jiujiang for a long time, deliberately found a thousand-year-old river mussel, took out the pearl in a special way but did not hurt the life of the river mussel, I hope the queen likes it."

After speaking, he took out a box, and when he opened it, a red pearl was displayed in front of everyone's eyes, pearls are very common, but such a large red pearl is rare.

"Well, take the pearl without hurting your life, the fourth child, you have grown a lot, this time stay for a few more days, your mother misses you too."

Zhao Zilei was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Empress Nangong was also very happy to take the pearl.

Emperor Wu turned his head to look at Zhao Zifeng, he still liked this daughter very much.

"Little Liu, it's your turn."

Zhao Zifeng stood up and said, "Erchen didn't have such good congratulatory gifts from his brothers, so he personally hit a pair of Zhu Hai and dedicated it to the queen's mother. ”

After speaking, he opened a beautiful box, took out a slightly rough wooden vermilion hairpin, and then said: "This is made of the branches at the top of the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree, I hope that the mother will live more blessed and long lives from now on." ”

Only then did Zhao Zili understand why Zhao Zifeng wanted to take a branch of the Bodhi tree a few days ago, this idea was really exquisite.

"Okay, Zifeng is really hearty, bring it to the palace." Queen Nangong was used to seeing those exquisite jewelry, and she loved this wooden hairpin a little more.

Zhao Zifeng walked over and brought Mu Hai on Nangong Ling's head, and a cool feeling instantly entered her mind.

"Your Majesty, this hairpin is so magical, the concubines all feel refreshed."

In fact, it was just that the heavy unit Jin Hairpin was removed, and his head was relaxed.

"Zifeng has good intentions and does it himself, and I am very relieved" Da Zhou has always advocated Buddhism, and Zhao Zifeng's move has been recognized by Emperor Wu.

"Zili, how is the poem I ordered you to make, the queen and I are looking forward to it."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhao Zili.

Zhao Zili got up slowly and said, "Back to my father, it's been done, please ask my father and mother to check it." ”

A scroll opened, and two poems jumped on the paper, and the queen of Nangong couldn't help but read them out:

Qingping Tune (2)

A branch of red dew condenses incense, and the clouds and rain Wushan are in vain.

By asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup.

Qingping Tone (3)

Famous flowers love each other, and the king looks at it with a smile.

Explain that the spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and the agarwood pavilion is leaning on the north of the gan.

"Father, Niangniang, these two poems are complete when combined with the one that was given to the queen mother before."

Zhao Zili's ideal is that this is written by the poet immortal Li Taibai, who can pick out half of the words I count him as a cow.

"Okay, good, good, my son is really talented." Emperor Wu slapped the table, obviously very happy.

Queen Nangong read it over and over again, and she couldn't put it down.

"Father, the seventh brother's congratulatory gift is so good, the sons and ministers can't take it." Zhao Zicheng looked helpless.

"Zicheng, it's okay, you like whatever you send to this palace." Zhao Zicheng was raised by Empress Nangong and had deep feelings.

"Hehe, Xie Niangniang, Zicheng spent a portrait of Niangniang to send a Niangniang." Saying that, Zhao Zicheng took out a painting, and everyone was surprised when he opened it.

It is Nangong Ling who is painted, and his is really good, showing the charm of Queen Nangong to the fullest, and the extravagance is a little more mysterious.

"Zicheng's painting skills are really unparalleled in the world, I see that you are doing a good job." Emperor Wu is also very happy, this old eighth is also a bit promising.

"Erchen is brave, I want to ask Brother Seventh to write another poem."

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, the corners of Zhao Zili's mouth twitched, you have to do it.

When it came to painting money, Zhao Zili also had to sigh that his eighth brother was so good at painting at a young age.

After a little contemplation, I immediately put pen to paper: there is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. Looking at the city, and then looking at the country, would you rather not know the city and the country? Beautiful women are hard to come by.

"Okay, with this poem and this painting, you will live, a priceless treasure." Queen Nangong had a surprise, this birthday is really unprecedented

"Ahh Zhao Ziyu's little face wrinkled, as if there were tears in his eyes.

"Hey, my little Jiu, how can this palace not like it, let this palace see your gift."

The lovely Zhao Ziyu is very loved.

Zhao Ziyu jumped to Queen Nangong's side, took out the small bottle before, and said, "Niangniang, this is the perfume that Xiao Jiu stumbled upon, you ask if it is fragrant." ”

Zhao Ziyu poured a drop on his hand, and a floral fragrance instantly swept the audience.

"This smell is so fragrant." Queen Nangong also liked this fragrance very much.

"Niangniang, sprinkle a little of this perfume on your body, and your whole body is fragrant." Zhao Ziyu turned around in place, and his clothes really exuded a strong fragrance of flowers.

"Xiao Jiu, you really like this perfume in this palace, is there anything else, this palace wants to share some with the ladies of other palaces."

Zhao Ziyu shook his head and said, "I bought it from a merchant in the rivers and lakes, and now he has left the capital." ”

Zhao Zili specially confessed that he couldn't say that he gave it.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm buying a few more when I meet it in the future."

Empress Nangong turned her head and said to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, these gifts and concubines are all very like, and I can't choose the best one for a while." ”

"Hahaha, in that case, then everyone will be rewarded with a jade pendant."

"Thank you, Father."

After the princes and princesses presented their treasures, the banquet continued.
