Chapter 62 Gifts
"Mom." Yan Huo found Princess Nanping and sat down next to her.
"How are you tired?" asked Princess Nanping. Yan Huo would take a nap in the afternoon and was about to enter the palace today, but he didn't sleep.
"Not tired." Yan Huo smiled.
The eunuch loudly informed, "The emperor is here, the empress is here!"
Everyone in the hall stood up one after another, kowtowed slowly, and kowtowed to the shouts of the eunuch. The emperor raised his hands, "Don't give me a favor, I'll be calm."
Everyone stood up, the emperor and Queen Yu sat down on the throne, and said, "Give a seat."
Then the wine and food were served like running water, and hot water was placed in the food box, so the dishes were still steaming. Princess Nanping asked the palace maid to scoop a bowl of Bird's Nest Eight Immortal Soup for Yan Hu, "Drink some soup to warm up your body first."
Yan Huo pinched a small silver spoon and brought soup into his mouth. After drinking the soup, he pointed at the fish meat with chopsticks. The palace maid helped her pick up a piece of fish meat and picked out the fish bones. The imperial chef's craftsmanship is really good. The braised fish is full of color, aroma, flavor, tender and smooth, and has no fishy smell.
When they were 70% full, they went on stage to celebrate their birthdays. First, the prince's family was the prince's family. The prince held the princess with a big belly, took three sons and two daughters, kowtowed to the queen to celebrate her birthday and gave her birthday gifts.
The eunuch held a long gift list and recited: "A gilded treasure tripod inlaid with a collection of highlights in the ten thousand years, a plate of double jade Ganoderma lucidum, and a jade screen for the fairy birthday celebration..."
Either gold or jade, or coral and agate, they are also gifts that are suitable for the word "First".
The gifts given by the Crown Princess were made of various brocade robes and shoes.
After the prince's family retreated, it was the King of Chu's family's turn, and the eunuchs continued to recite the ceremony list: "The map of the birthday star in the South Pole, the pines and cranes, the agate pot for the longevity red jade incense furnace, and the phoenixes holding the birthday bottle..."
The gifts given by the Princess Chu are like robes and shoes and socks. The robes and socks that the daughter-in-law respects, Queen Yu will choose the colors and patterns she likes to wear, but most of them are left to the bottom of the box or rewarded to those close to her.
The emperor has ten sons and eleven daughters. There are seven sons who grow up and seven daughters. The ones who get married are the prince, the King of Chu, the King of Qin and Princess Ruining. Princess Ruining is filial piety and absent from the birthday banquet. The first princess to come out to offer gifts was the fifth princess, Princess Ruishou. The birthday gift she presented was: a good jade and wishful thinking, a long-lasting jade ink separated from the jade ink in the Changchun, and a long-lasting jade star Yushanzi...
After the children all offered their gifts, it was the turn of the major royal palaces and nobles, among them, the Duke of Anguo and the Duke of Empress Yu's mother's house, Duke of Huai'en, to present the birthday gift in person.
"My sister-in-law wishes the emperor's sister-in-law good health and good health and everything goes well." Princess Chengyang said aloud.
"Your Madam, please get up quickly, Queen Yu said with both hands.
The current Duke Huaien is the eldest brother of Empress Yu. He is old and suddenly fell ill in the first month of the year. He still cannot get up. The prince, who is the eldest uncle of Yu Qingqing. Prince Yu led his wife, children, younger brothers, nephews and other more than ten people to come forward to bow, "I will join my family in the house to wish the Empress a thousand years of life."
"Don't give me a favor." Queen Yu smiled.
After the ceremony, it was Yuqing's show to perform. The first person to play the piano was Princess Yijia. She wanted to play the piano. When the palace maid set up the piano stand, she said, "I wonder if I have the honor to invite Brother Wujiu to play a song with me?"
A very polite invitation was a rare thing for Princess Yijia, who has always been arrogant. Princess Yijia also knew that Fu Zhixing was not so easy to meet, so she made this request on the Queen Qianqiu Festival. She thought Fu Zhixing would not refuse. The ensemble of piano and flute is a perfect match and will definitely become a beautiful story. Although she is a little older than Fu Zhixing, she is a royal woman and does not have to get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen like a folk woman. Her fifth aunt is almost twenty, and she has declined.
"You don't have this honor." Fu Zhixing refused without hesitation. Not to mention his temperament, he would not give Princess Yijia a face. Even if he is gentle and easy to get along with, he would not be like Princess Yijia. He had no affection for Princess Yijia. If Yan Hu wanted to play with him, he would be quite happy, but with Yan Hu's lazy temperament, he would probably not want to learn the piano.
Fu Zhixing's words made the hall very quiet. Yan Huo covered his mouth and snickered, and King Zhao touched his forehead. Fu Zhixing really disdained other women. Princess Chengyang raised the corners of her lips and sneered: "Give him humiliation."
The Crown Princess mocked: "I'm delusional and overestimating my abilities."
"If the princess is stage frightened, then don't show off." Concubine De and Concubine Xian were rivals. She was very happy to do it.
"What is Sister De's words? How could Yijia be frightened? Yijia just wanted to make the Queen's birthday party more outstanding, so she suggested asking Mr. Fu to accompany her. Yijia, since Mr. Fu is unwilling to perform for the Queen, then you can play a piano song alone." Zhou Xianfei gave Princess Yijia a step and framed Fu Zhixing by the way.
Princess Chengyang was dissatisfied when she heard this and said bluntly: "Empress Xianfei, if you want to help your granddaughter smooth things over, there is no need to use my grandson as a child, right?"
"Emperor sister, Concubine Xian has drunk too much wine and talks nonsense, don't care." Empress Yu hurriedly talked to Xi Mi. Today is her birthday party, and all the officials are present, and the royal family is not good-looking.
"Okay." Princess Chengyang smiled and raised her wine glass, and toasted Queen Yu with a glass. This matter was revealed.
Princess Yijia lowered her eyelids, hid the resentment in her eyes, walked to the zither table and sat down, and began to play the zither. Yan Huo didn't appreciate this pure music. Looking at the expressions of others, he probably knew that Princess Yijia was doing well. After the song, Princess Yijia stood up and said to Yutai's blessed body: "Granddaughter wishes the emperor's grandfather a long life, and wishes the emperor's grandmother a long life."
"No etiquette, Yi Jia's piano is well played, and the Xianfei teaches him well, so he rewards him." The emperor smiled.
Concubine Zhou Xian stood up quickly and saluted: "Thank you the emperor for praise, thank you for the emperor for the reward."
Princess Yijia left the stage, Princess Heyi went up and looked at her little granddaughter who was almost rolling on the stage. The corner of the Supreme Lord twitched slightly, and turned his head to the queen and said, "Zi Tong, should Heyi take a diet?"
"Yes, it's time to go on a diet." Although Queen Yu thought her granddaughter was very fat, she was also worried that her granddaughter would be too fat and would affect her health.
After Princess Heyi saluted the emperor and Empress Yu, she said, "Grandmother of the Emperor, I want to dance to celebrate your birthday."
Queen Yu was stunned for a moment, "Heyi, are you going to dance?" She didn't believe it.
"Yes, Grandmother of the Emperor." Princess Heyi smiled.
As the music started, Princess Heyi danced a folded sleeve dance. But she was fat and could not jump out of the floating and spiral back to the light snow, and even sent the dragon to be shocked. She did not have the slightest posture of smoke and moths, and the wind sleeves were as high as the emotion.
The Princess Qin felt that she had no shame to see someone, so she raised her hand and pressed her forehead; but the King of Qin felt, "What does it matter if you dance well? It's enough to have the heart."
When Princess Heyi finished dancing and said this, the emperor was moved, "What reward does Heyi want?"
"Grandfather of the Emperor, I want the chef who can make thirty-six kinds of fish soup." Princess Heyi said without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll give you that cook and let him cook more delicious food for you." The emperor smiled.
Queen Yu looked at the emperor and said that she would let her granddaughter go on a diet. Now she would like to give her a cook a good meal. How can she go on a diet?
