The New Year is coming, and Emperor Yanqing is fifty-five this year, and the palace will be held in large quantities. The gifts prepared by royal relatives and civil and military ministers must naturally be more attentive.

"What are we going to send?" When I woke up in the morning, Jing Yi chatted with Xiao Ting.

"I see that there is a longevity screen in the warehouse, so I will give it to that one, so as not to take up the space there." Xiao Ting leaned against her shoulder and said, "It was far less careful than when I was picking Xu Guang's birthday gift before. Although in the end, he only gave me a pair of clay-carved tiger-headed cloud guns made by him and Jing Yi. Jing Yi pinched the gun and he pinched the general, which made Xu Guang several times instruct Gao to keep it and use it to coax his grandson to use it in the future.

For such powerful families as them, hundreds or thousands of taels of calligraphy and paintings are too common. The true birthday gifts, even if they are not worth it, are fresher and more satisfying.

After choosing a birthday ceremony, the feast was held in the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the couple entered the palace with gifts.

At the banquet, we will pay New Year's greetings from the dragon son and the dragon grandson.

As the eldest, King Zhao first walked to the imperial throne and celebrated his birthday to Emperor Yanqing. "Father, at the beginning of last year, my son heard that there was a top-quality jade in Yunzhou, which was more than nine feet tall. My son specially ordered someone to come and ask a skilled craftsman to carve the finished product. I wish my father a long life more than the southern mountain and a blessing as good as the East Sea."

On the dragon throne, Emperor Yanqing was wearing a vermilion dragon robe. Although he was weak and still taking medicine, he looked good at this time. King Zhao's biological mother Shufei looked at him and smiled and joked: "Your Majesty, please come forward, you will prepare it early. I think I can't take a look first, for fear that I like it if I like it, and I will be greedy for his good things to respect you."

Emperor Yanqing smiled even louder and ordered King Zhao to pay tribute.

Soon, the four little eunuchs worked together to carry a birthday gift covered with a red cloth. Xiao Ting stared at the red cloth and was secretly surprised. It was the first time he had seen such a big jade carving in his life. I have to say that King Zhao's birthday gift was really costly and troublesome.

He was just watching the fun, and King Gong's face was not very good. He tried every means to send someone to inquire about what birthday ceremony King Zhao had prepared, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, King Zhao actually hid such good things.

The little eunuchs set off their birthday gifts, and King Zhao came forward in person, his face full of spring and slowly unfolded the red cloth.

The lights in the hall were brightly lit, and the lights all over the place fell on the lifelike jade carving fairy man who was more than one person tall, as if there was a fairy spirit lingering around, and it seemed that the fairy man really fell from the sky. King Zhao knew that his birthday ceremony was the most wonderful, and his eyes were always staring at Emperor Yanqing, hoping that his father would praise him.

Just as Emperor Yanqing was about to praise him, Concubine Li suddenly exclaimed, and her white and slender hands covered her red lips in shock. Emperor Yanqing frowned and looked at him. Concubine Li said with a white face: "Emperor, look at the longevity peach in the hand of the immortal man..."

After she said this, everyone stared at Shotao.

Xiao Ting just looked at it for a while, and when he heard this, he quickly discovered clues. It turned out that there was an inconspicuous crack in the middle of the round longevity peach. The longevity peach and longevity peach are broken in the middle, which means "longevity"?

Xiao Ting looked at Jing Yi with his head turned around.

Jing Yi winked at him and signaled Xiao Ting not to show any gloating expressions, so as not to be angry by Emperor Yanqing.

"Father, my son's birthday peach is still intact before leaving the palace. It must be because he was accidentally frustrated during the transportation. Please forgive me." The gift was wrong, but it was a big mistake. King Zhao quickly knelt down with a nervous expression. Princess Zhao immediately rushed to her husband and apologized together.

Emperor Yanqing's face turned green. The older he was, the more he cherished his life. Emperor Yanqing took medicine for half a year, and the ministers urged him to become a crown prince every day, looking forward to his early death. He had already minded that his own son gave him a birthday peach and a bad one. Who knows what kind of good intentions he has?

"Don't you retreat?" Concerned about the festive celebration of the first lunar month, Emperor Yanqing forced himself to suppress his anger. If it were normal, he would have to scold him.

King Zhao quickly waved his hands to the eunuchs, then returned to the seat with a dirt face, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at him, but he cursed Prince Gong and Concubine Li thousands of times in his heart, and believed that the mother and son had secretly tampered with each other.

Concubine Shu thought so too. When King Gong's people went to receive the birthday gift, she reminded Emperor Yanqing seriously: "Emperor, if King Zhao's birthday gift is not carefully carried by his servants, it would be fine, but if someone intentionally framed King Zhao and did not hesitate to damage the birthday gift given to you, his heart would be punished. Please investigate thoroughly."

Emperor Yanqing raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li didn't ask anyone to do anything, and she was not guilty and mocked Concubine Shu: "Sister is always so suspicious. King Zhao brought such a gift to the palace. Didn't he send anyone to keep an eye on it? People come and go in the palace, who dares to do it? It's wrong. The emperor did not blame King Zhao. In the first month of the year, don't throw dirty water everywhere, causing panic among the people."

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and was about to fight back, but the empress dowager said upset: "Okay, I'll say less."

Concubine Li raised her chin proudly, and Concubine Shu secretly twisted her handkerchief.

Compared with the best jade carvings of King Zhao's broken longevity peach, the "Hundred-Hundred-Hundred-Hundred-Lair Picture" co-written by King Gong invited 100 literati from the world to look very grand, but the beauty is elegant and refined, and the meaning is peaceful. Emperor Yanqing finally smiled again on his face. Concubine Shu wanted to find fault, but she was far away and could not see clearly whether the one hundred long-Lair characters were wrong.

After the princes gave the gift, it was the princes' turn.

The third princess gave her robe sewn by herself, and the fifth princess gave her the birthday cake she cooked by herself. Xiao Ting and Jing Yi's birthday screen were sandwiched in the middle, and she suddenly seemed to be lacking sincerity.

Emperor Yanqing didn't like the fourth princess, but he looked at the prince-consort very much, so he praised him a few words.

After the banquet, Emperor Yanqing was abducted by Concubine Li, and he could not help but be in a mess all night.

Tao Ran was in the middle, and Xiao Ting crawled into the quilt before whispering to Jing Yi: "Did you ask someone to crush the longevity peach of King Zhao?"

Jing Yi shook her head.

She was too decent, Xiao Ting knew it was not her, and said excitedly: "It must be grandpa, I'll ask tomorrow."

He had admiration in his tone. Jing Yi suddenly felt a little worried, afraid that Xiao Ting would become worse and worse as he learned. He had enough bad ideas, and then...

Before his thoughts were over, a small hand penetrated into his shirt. Jing Yi took a deep breath and forgot what he was thinking just now.
