When Eunuch Yuan saw Su Tang sitting there, he frowned fiercely and looked towards the Minister of Rites who had arranged the banquet. The Minister of Rites didn't know how to arrange the position of the Crown Princess of Jingnan, so he came to ask him specifically for advice. He also felt that this matter was inappropriate.
It was a good arrangement, so I asked the emperor. The emperor didn't care where the Princess of Jingnan sat, as long as she was the first princess to give him a birthday gift.
He clearly conveyed the emperor's intention. Why did the Minister of Rites arrange for the Crown Princess of Jingnan to sit there?
Empress Song and Concubine Xia also looked unhappy, but no matter how angry they were, they could not be unleashed on the Emperor's birthday banquet. However, if the anger was not unleashed in time, it would be suppressed in their hearts, causing pain in their burning internal organs.
The most lively and attractive part of the birthday banquet is the birthday gift.
When the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday, the first person to present a birthday gift was the Emperor. When the Emperor celebrated his birthday, the Queen Mother, the nominal mother, was the first to give blessings to her son. What the Queen Mother gave to the Emperor was a handle of blood Ruyi, and she said lovingly, "The Emperor is one person, tied to
For the well-being of all the people, I only hope that the emperor will be in good health and be diligent in governing the country. Our Ning Dynasty will have a prosperous country and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
The emperor stood up and took the blood Ruyi, "I will definitely remember the Queen Mother's teachings and work for the welfare of all people, and never slack off."
After the emperor sat down, the princes presented birthday gifts, including the Nine Dragons Holding the Birthday Seal, the Picture of Immortals Congratulating Birthdays, the Longevity White Jade Bowl, and the Picture of the Ten Thousand Years Crane...
There are also a few young princes who, because their mothers and concubines have a low status and cannot afford to give expensive gifts, just write a calligraphy or draw a picture, which is more or less out of their thoughts.
After the princes celebrated their birthdays, it was the princesses' turn.
Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette sang: "The Princess Protector and the Prince Consort congratulate us on their birthdays."
The voice was so loud that Xie Boting's forehead trembled when he heard it. Su Tang was not used to being called princess, and Xie Boting was not used to being called prince-in-law.
The two stood up to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.
Su Tang said, "I wish my father, Emperor Long, good health and may he live younger and younger."
Everyone suppressed their laughter. Such a congratulatory speech is really rare in the royal family, and it is very down-to-earth.
After Xie Boting congratulated the emperor on his birthday, he presented the congratulatory gift prepared for the emperor. On the tray he was holding, there was a small brocade box, which attracted the attention of everyone in the palace. They were curious about the gift that Su Tang and Xie Boting presented to the emperor.
What is a birthday gift?
The emperor was also curious, "What is this?"
"Longquan seal mud," Su Tang replied.
"..."
There was silence in the hall.
When the emperor celebrates his birthday, Princess Jingnan, a princess who is much loved by the emperor, only gives him one piece of ink pad?
Just can't believe it.
Empress Song finally took the opportunity to attack and said with a smile, "Why do Princess Protector present a piece of ink pad to the Emperor? What can you say?"
Su Tang smiled and said, "This is not an ordinary ink pad. It does not solidify in winter, does not ooze oil in summer, is fragrant and never fades. More importantly, it does not get wet when soaked in water and does not burn when burned."
change."
"My son presents this ink pad in the hope that my father's masterpieces and deeds can be passed down through the ages for future generations to admire." This chapter has been completed!
