Chapter 299: Refusal of Etiquette and Resistance

Prince Tai, the Nine Emperor Princes, really didn't just talk about it, and when he went back, he set up a big sign more than one person tall outside the gate of the Nine Princes' Mansion, and a big notice was clearly written.

Because the birthday and the New Year arrived one day, in order not to affect others to spend the New Year at home, the Nine Princes will no longer have birthdays in this life, all celebrations will be canceled, and no gifts will be accepted from anyone.

On the birthday of the Nine Princes, it is unimaginable how many gifts can be received on this day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a mountain of gold can be piled up. How dare a hundred civil and military officials not come to the Nine Princes?

The Nine Princes are the only real princes in Tanglin, and they are destined to have the worst fate and are also the overlords of one party, and sooner or later they will have their own fiefdoms, the difference is to see Ye Gu Yuanhong's mood, and where to seal him.

The birthday that comes only once a year is the most grandiose and fair gift-giving opportunity, who doesn't know how to grasp it? The Ninth Prince is no longer a birthday, and the loss is not just this time, but a lifetime.

He gave up the opportunity to gather money once a year, and he smashed the cornucopia that opened once a year. There is always a valid reason to explain this.

He couldn't give a reason, only one sentence: "The birthday is mine, but I can't say it, if I don't want to live, I don't want to live." ”

When the queen heard the news, she specially summoned him to the palace and persuaded him: "The child's birthday, the mother's hard day, you should not be willful, and you should celebrate your mother if you don't do it for yourself." ”

"What the queen mother said is that it is just that the son-in-law and mother have long passed away and do not need to celebrate. Erchen remembered that the mother concubine was indifferent by nature and didn't like to be lively, so the king no longer celebrated his birthday in his life. ”

Ye Gu Yuanheng regretted that this decision was too late, if it was a year earlier, the imperial sister-in-law would not have been poisoned in the Nine Kings' Mansion, and the imperial nephew should be able to climb now.

The queen couldn't persuade him, so she had to let him go back, but it wasn't up to him to have the final say, he could not set up a banquet, he could not invite a troupe, he could not entertain guests, could he prevent others from giving gifts?

In the early morning of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the door of the Nine Princes' Mansion was blocked and it was difficult to move an inch. The Nine Princes ordered that the Nine Kings Mansion would not open its doors for a day, and all the doors of the front and back doors would be sealed.

Before midnight, half of the royal streets were paralyzed, and the roads leading to the Nine Kings' Mansion in all directions were blocked. Burden-bearers, car-drivers, sedan chairs, and all kinds of gift-givers are waiting outside the door, and no one can open the door of the Nine Kings' Mansion.

Even Gonggong Jing, who came to announce the decree, took an hour to complete the usual journey of less than a quarter of an hour.

"By Divine Order!" This voice shouted out is really excited, the holy decree has arrived, see if he can open the door, as long as he accepts the emperor's gift list, he can't refuse the grandfather, and he can't refuse the prime minister......

'Squeak~quack~'

"The door is open, the door is open."

"Open the door, open the door."

“……”

The door of the Nine Kings' Mansion was closed, nor was it welded, and opening the door caused countless people to make a fuss and squeak. Ye Gu Yuanheng watched the door slowly open, the door was full of people, and his vision was completely blocked. Gong Jing, who was standing at the forefront, had sweat on his forehead.

"Lord Jiu, our family is here to announce the decree." Gonggong Jing smiled and walked forward, but the Nine Princes stood there motionless, blocking Gonggong Jing from moving forward.

"Respect my father-in-law, let's announce it here." Ye Gu Yuanheng didn't plan to let him enter the mansion, he couldn't stop others when he entered the mansion.

"W-is this the place where the decree is made?"

"Then please go back, and come back tomorrow." Ye Gu Yuanheng is not afraid that anyone will sue him for resisting the decree, he is a person who resists the decree and does not listen to his father's words, and the scolding will come to an end, not to mention that this is just a gift-giver, and there is nothing serious.

Father-in-law Jing had no choice but to read the holy decree outside the door, to the effect that he congratulated the Nine Emperors on his birthday, a few words of blessing and encouragement, and gave many gifts.

Ye Guyuanheng kowtowed, listened to the holy decree, stood up and did not accept the holy decree. Instead, he said to his father-in-law: "I have already understood the meaning of my father, please ask my father-in-law to return to the saint on my behalf, the holy decree and the unit of rites will not be accepted, and this king has said that he will not celebrate his birthday from now on." ”

Ye Gu Yuanheng turned around and went back to the house, and gave an order: "Close the door!" ”

The wooden door on the opposite side was quickly closed by six soldiers on each side, and the people outside frantically rushed up and banged on the door. The door was halfway closed, and I couldn't close it.

"Is the palace a wilderness? Long - spear stabs, wooden stick knocks. ”

The prince spoke, the soldiers don't care who hurts and who itches, the spear stabs the people outside, of course, they don't stab at the vital places, except for the arms and legs, and finally close the door.

Gift-giving is too positive and hurts, which is really new. The Nine Kings Mansion refused to accept gifts, making it more lively outside the house than inside the house.

The Imperial Palace is also very lively, and the Crown Princess is a secret to the outside world, but not to the Imperial Palace. When the concubines heard that they came to say goodbye, they all sent their hearts more or less.

There are not many concubines in the palace, only Liangdi Xiao Qiang, Baolin Shi Yuelian, Chenghui Du Yuzhen and Fengyi Xu Lanying.

The talented Xu Qiuping has been disheartened since Guo Meizhen was sold the last time she went shopping, and she is willing to be a Buddha for life. Ye Gu Yuanhong gave her a letter of resignation and allowed her to return the vulgar at any time. She took the book of resignation to the Yanqing Buddhist Monastery to spend the days of green lights and yellow scrolls.

Prince Liangdi Xiao Qiang made a lot of fireworks, which were specially made, which were more beautiful and fragrant than the fireworks in previous years. She sent several boxes of fireworks to each mother, and even the higher-ranking subordinates in the palace had a share.

Ye Gu Yuanhong felt that she was a bit of a catch, but he didn't say anything. The New Year is approaching, and Ye Gu Yuanhong also wants to have a happy and peaceful New Year, and he doesn't want to make any more trouble.

Last year, they didn't have a good year, they didn't play anything, they didn't eat anything, so they hid in the dormitory to recuperate for more than 40 days. This year, Ye Gu Yuanhong must have a happy New Year with Su Ruoshui and make up for all the regrets of last year.

Liufeng and Hidden Moon sorted out the fireworks sent by Xiao Qiang, and they couldn't wait to try them fresh. Although they couldn't really see it during the day, the two of them were still happy enough.

Su Ruoshui said with a smile: "Fortunately, the smell of gunpowder smoke is not strong, not so choking, you can watch more fireworks." "She is now pregnant and has to be careful everywhere, and she was worried that the smell of gunpowder smoke from fireworks would be too bad for the fetus, but now it seems that this special fireworks are really good.

"Torture guards." The moon is lightly blessed, I haven't seen Xing Tianlin come here for a long time.

Since the crown prince came back from Jiangnan, Xing Tianlin's duty has changed from protecting the crown princess to protecting the crown prince, and he basically can't come to the apse.

"Hmm." Xing Tianlin nodded, and walked straight to Su Ruoshui: "See Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." ”

"Get up, what's the matter?"

"The minister wants to invite Chang Gonggong to the criminal mansion for half a day and ask for the mother's permission." Xing Tianlin continued to add: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his ministers to come and ask Niangniang to show them. ”

PS: Why aren't so many people giving me gifts? Dear friends, if you have this idea, please reward directly.
