Chapter 544: It's hard to guess what the emperor is thinking

Since the incident of suicide, Xia Shengge has a feeling of being completely open, somewhat going his own way, from the gate of Fengqi Palace to ask for peace, he didn't even give the queen a look.

She felt that as long as she didn't make a mistake, could the queen be the master and divorce her?

Since she can't kill her, what else is she afraid of?

Of course, it's how happy I am.

The queen was annoyed, she was reprimanded by the emperor, and she also wanted to send someone to reprimand Xia Shengge, but she was afraid that she would kill herself again, and now she felt a headache when she looked at this daughter-in-law.

His eyes swept over Wen Mianmian again, and he felt that it was all the fault of the sixth daughter-in-law, who had damaged her daughter-in-law.

Wen Mianmian didn't know it, and she was still foaming at the mouth of her sisters-in-law.

After a while, the time had come for the servants to come and spread the auspiciousness, and everyone got up one after another, and surrounded the queen mother and queen towards the Baochen Palace, where everyone was going to congratulate the emperor on his birthday today.

At this time, the Baochen Hall has already set up a banquet, and it has reached the point where the officials are seated in an orderly manner according to their ranks, and the empress dowager and the empress are so honorable that they want to appear in the finale with the emperor, and Wen Mianmian is entering the hall with Jiang Su, and finding his own place to sit down under the guidance of the palace people.

Respect and humility are orderly, and the seats are different, this is the first time Wen Mianmian has seen clearly what position she is, in front of her are the emperor's concubines, several princesses in the clan, and then Xia Shengge and a few concubines, counting with their fingers, they feel that their position is also quite high.

After waiting for everyone to sit down in turn, pinching the auspicious time, the emperor, the queen mother and the queen slowly appeared in the shouts of the inner servants, and the people who had just sat down all got up and knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen mother, thousand years old and thousands of years old, and the queen mother thousand years old and thousands of years old!" ”

"I wish the emperor a thousand years of holy life and a long life!"

When the emperor thought that the next thing was when he received the gift, he was in a very good mood, "Everyone, Aiqing is flat." ”

Everyone got up and waited for the emperor to sit down before they sat down, and then they went to the celebrant to arrange various ceremonies, which was extremely lively.

Waiting for a series of tedious processes to be completed, the ceremonial officials ordered the music, the dancers entered the hall in a hurry, and the palace people holding various dishes and drinks also followed, and the smile on the emperor's face became even bigger, guessing whether the congratulatory gifts sent by these bastards present today could be delivered to his heart.

Many ministers in the imperial study have seen the golden bucket, so they should understand what he means, right?

It's not that he has to be so cheesy, it's that the treasury and private treasury are now nervous, and he can't be elegant, so I hope that his general will send him the spoils back quickly.

Ouch, the sixth is so cunning, don't teach the general to be greedy for his loot, right?

Quite possibly!

The singing and dancing in the field rotated, and the people who went to the banquet were not so nervous, as for whether the dishes in front of them were hot or not, whether the wine was refreshing or not, it didn't matter at all, the important thing was that the words to be said for a while were beautiful, and the congratulatory gifts should be brilliant.

After three rounds of wine, several old princes of the clan are ready to start congratulatory gifts, the emperor is not a person who likes to celebrate birthdays, the first two years have only held a family banquet, today is his fiftieth birthday, and the Ministry of Rites has started to do it early in the morning, and these congratulatory gifts have naturally begun to collect a few months in advance.

The chamberlain brought a half-person high coffee table covered with red cloth, the meaning of which was self-evident, and everything offered should be displayed on this coffee table.

King Fu's congratulatory gift is a pavilion carved from ivory, extremely delicate and exquisite, the emperor is smiling, King Fu is not in the court, he does not know what is in his imperial study, he does not blame him.

A blue and white porcelain Ruyi bottle sent by King Qi, the carcass is extremely thin, almost transparent, the emperor is still smiling, King Qi ignores the government and does not understand his heart is normal.

The next few congratulatory gifts are not a jade Ruyi that is hard to find, it is an agate amber cup, strange and strange, precious and valuable, and the emperor also smiled, but the smile on his face is not so pleasant year by year.

What can these things do other than put them in the warehouse and eat ashes?

When it was Xia Shengge's turn, Xia Shengge stepped forward to give a blessing, "I wish my father a long life, as blessed as the East China Sea, my daughter-in-law is not talented, and I feel that I can't express my daughter-in-law's respect for my father and emperor when I look for the treasures in the house, so I can only offer 100 South Pearls to talk about my heart." ”

She really didn't have time to look for treasures, so she simply broke the jar and ordered someone to carry ten thousand taels of silver, but the personal grandmother in the house grabbed her alive.

This congratulatory gift is not brilliant, but it can be regarded as sending it to the emperor's heart, after all, it is also a rare thing, the queen is extremely dissatisfied, she sent someone to inquire about what congratulatory gifts are sent by several princes, it is a family that is tighter than a family, but she guesses that it is stronger than this Nanzhu.

The emperor still smiled, "The eldest went to Beixiang to share my worries, the eldest daughter-in-law was alone in the palace with Liujia, and the confinement was on the New Year's Day. ”

It's also a very real thing, not bad!

Next is Hua Jingsheng, his congratulatory gift is a piece of jade, looking at it like stretching mountains, the wonderful thing is to use the pure base, it is said that under the light of the lamp, this jade mountain is golden, beautiful.

The emperor was extremely satisfied, mainly because he felt that the gold base was very large and looked heavy, "The second child has a heart." ”

The emperor has high expectations for his sons, and hopes that the next few shots will be more generous, and it is best to give him a hundred thousand taels of cash.

It's a pity that the congratulatory gifts sent from Hua Jinghui are all elegant things, what famous handwritten paintings, what is extremely difficult to find jade carvings, think about it, who would have thought that the dignified king of a country would want such a crude thing as gold and silver, of course, the more elegant, the more expensive the better.

The smile on the emperor's face couldn't hold back, and his eyes finally fell on Wen Mianmian, hoping that the sixth daughter-in-law would not let him down and maintain her level of gift-giving.

The sixth daughter-in-law doesn't look like an elegant person, so she shouldn't let him down, right?

As the princess of the rich prince and the virtuous helper of the Ministry of Commerce, will Wen Mianmian be stingy in gift-giving?

His big scalper sat in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce because he could make money, and she had to let the people in this hall know that she deserved it.

Today's congratulatory gift was prepared by her heart, ready to be 'expensive' and overwhelm the audience, blinding everyone's eyes.

A half-person tall thing covered with a red cloth was carried to the coffee table, and Wen Mianmian stood next to him and said loudly: "I wish my father and emperor every year and today, and I wish Dongshu to be rich, strong, and prosperous under the guidance of my father." ”

"For this reason, my daughter-in-law specially ordered someone to build a treasure tree and dedicate it to her father."

The red cloth was lifted, not only did the people in the hall not have enough eyes to see, but the emperor stood up directly and walked to the treasure tree to take a closer look.
