482. Make a wish
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess has arrived!" As the little father-in-law sang, everyone in the house heard it.
Liu Qiqi and the prince entered the door and saw a group of people who were pressed by the black.
Looking at their attire, I knew that they were all ladies of some rank, and the people in the courtyard were all their daughters who had not left the cabinet.
The meaning of today's arrival is obvious, one is to celebrate the birthday, and the other is to see which lady can enter the eyes of the queen mother, and she came to the palace and was sent to the prince.
Everyone present knew that the crown princess was the concubine sent by the queen mother to the prince, and now the concubine has become the crown princess at the head of the East Palace.
With such good luck, everyone wants to be a part of it.
Liu Qiqi didn't care about these people and gave the birthday gift to the Queen Mother.
"Qiqi-" The Queen Mother couldn't close her mouth happily when she saw Liu Qiqi and the prince coming.
"Grandson to meet the imperial grandmother, I wish the imperial grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan!" The prince said.
"The concubine visits the imperial grandmother, I wish the imperial grandmother a long life and wealth, add light and color and auspiciousness, and wish the imperial grandmother a happy birthday and eternal youth!" Liu Qiqi said.
"Good, good!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she was even happier.
When others saw the arrival of the crown prince and the crown princess, they didn't give the queen mother a birthday gift, although the princess's auspicious words sounded good, what was the use of sounding good, unlike them, they all gave the queen mother a birthday gift.
Each one is a priceless treasure.
A few dry words, sure enough, came from a small place, and when it comes to such a big scene, it won't work!
The queen has been in the palace for so many years, how could she not know what these people are thinking, from the moment Liu Qiqi arrived, she saw Liu Qiqi holding a food box in her hand, and she thought it was delicious.
At the age of the Queen Mother, I have never seen anything good, and if Liu Qiqi makes food with her own hands, she is also full of heart.
The queen looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, "Queen Mother, look at Qiqi, I don't know what kind of gift this is bringing!" ”
The gift is obviously to tell everyone present that if you don't want to cause trouble for your own man, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
"The mourning family has seen it a long time ago, it smells very good, it should be made by Kiki, right?"
Liu Qiqi carefully came to the Queen Mother with the food box and slowly opened the food box.
"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, you can't miss the cake, the concubine made a birthday cake for the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother can like it!"
When the time came, everyone saw an amazing scene.
A white mass, dotted with red flowers, I can't tell what it was, it smelled good, and more importantly, on it there was a kind old lady holding a large peach in her hand.
Looking closely, I found that the old man and the Queen Mother were somewhat similar.
Soon, the Queen Mother and the Empress also found out.
Concubine Shu exclaimed, "Ah, why do you look at the old man who gave off her birthday and the Queen Mother's appearance is somewhat similar?" ”
This exclamation attracted more people's attention.
Those who are close can see it at a glance, and those who are a little farther away can't see it even if they are crossed, and everyone is even more curious.
The prince watched from the side, this year's Queen Mother's birthday, needless to say, this gift is the most special.
It is made by Liu Qiqi herself, which shows sincerity and preciousness.
Liu Qiqi took out the candle prepared in the food box and inserted it on the cake, while explaining, "Plug in the candle, light the candle, you can make a wish, blow out the candle after making a wish, and the wish may come true!" ”
It is possible to achieve it, and it is directly heard by everyone that it will be realized.
looked at the Queen Mother with envy one by one.
The Queen Mother is getting older, and she likes to be lively more and more, but her identity is there, there are few people close to her, and now there are fewer grandchildren, and there are no great-grandchildren, she feels even more lonely, hearing this, whether it is true or not, she is happy.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
At a critical time, the emperor arrived.
Emperor!
Isn't he sick?
Soon the sound of people kneeling outside was heard.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
The emperor came to the door with the support of Father-in-law Lu, and many ladies in the house knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Then Concubine Shu and other concubines saluted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The crown prince and Liu Qiqi saluted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The queen saluted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The emperor came to the queen mother, "The son wishes the queen mother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than Nanshan!" ”
"Okay, good—" The Queen Mother was happy and said three good words in a row.
"What is this?" The emperor looked at the candle in front of him and asked.
"Kiki's birthday made specifically for the mourning family." The Queen Mother happily forgot the last few words.
Liu Qiqi explained, "Birthday cake. ”
"Oh?" The emperor thought, this is what everyone who smelled in the palace would drool.
It does look good.
The old man holding the longevity peach on it looks even more vivid.
"Kiki said, you can make a wish later!"
"And this?" The emperor said and looked at Liu Qiqi.
Liu Qiqi responded, "After the candle is lit, the birthday star clasps his hands together and makes a wish in his heart, which may come true!" ”
The queen mother and the emperor both believed this, and hurriedly ordered someone to light candles.
With the candle lit, just like the hope in her heart was lit, the Queen Mother made a wish, and when the Queen Mother finished making a wish, she blew into the candle, everyone looked envious, and even the emperor was a little red-eyed.
Why didn't he get this treatment?
Thinking about it, he looked at the prince dissatisfied, the prince had already known the purpose of this person's coming, and deliberately turned his head to look to the side and did not respond.
The queen saw their interaction on the side, and thought it was funny, and jealous.
The emperor and the king of Chu had never made such eye contact.
Sure enough, a long, long time ago, the emperor's favorite was the crown prince, but there were too many princes at that time, and the emperor didn't have a blatant preference!
After blowing out the candles on the Queen Mother's side, her face was full of folds with joy.
Liu Qiqi knew that there should be a birthday song, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, this link was omitted, and now when it was time to enjoy, she reached out and pulled out the candle while explaining, "Now we can share the cake!" ”
Liu Qiqi took down the candle, put it aside, and then took out the knife, small plate and spoon made of noodles from the food box.
"What is this?" The Queen Mother looked at the noodle knife and was a little puzzled.
"This one is made of noodles, and it's used to cut cakes." She knew that it was forbidden to wear knives in the palace, so in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, she deliberately made noodles.
"Kiki has a heart."
"The imperial grandmother's birthday gift is naturally the best!" Liu Qiqi said with a smile.
"Look, look, this is the good granddaughter-in-law chosen by the mourning family!" The Queen Mother was pleased.
Everyone followed and stepped Liu Qiqi into the sky for a while.
Liu Qiqi's face was slightly red, and she sent the noodle knife to the Queen Mother, "Grandmother Huang, the first knife of the cake is cut by the birthday star, which means that everything can get off to a good start." ”
"And that's it!" The Queen Mother was willing to listen to auspicious words, and she was even happier to hear it today.
"Hmm." Liu Qiqi nodded.
When the Queen Mother heard that there were so many words, she wanted to do it, but she was worried that she was not doing well enough, Liu Qiqi saw the Queen Mother's thoughts and said, "Cut from beginning to end, smooth wind and water, cut from left to right, healthy and long-lived." ”
