On May 15th, the air was filled with hot summer air.
The Lanting Pavilion was very lively with silk and bamboo music, dancing sleeves flying, and the palace maids entered the pavilion carrying exquisitely prepared meals.
"First there was heavy snow at the beginning of the year, and recently there has been a severe drought. His Majesty ordered the reduction of the expenses of each palace. I thought this birthday party for the Ninth Princess would be a trivial event, but I didn't expect it to be so lively!"
"What you are saying is not nonsense. Everyone in the palace now knows that the Ninth Princess is the one your Majesty loves the most. Besides, the birthday only comes once a year. If the Ninth Princess is happy, Your Majesty will be happy, not to mention the Prime Minister.
Compared with the birthday celebrations for His Majesty in previous years, it is already a small event."
"That's true, but the ninth princess is so cute. Not only does Your Majesty like her, I also like her."
"Concentrate on your service. Your eyes are almost glued to the princess. If anything goes wrong, you will be punished by the painting girl."
"..."
Several palace maids hid in corners and whispered.
Lanting Pavilion is the most luxurious attic in the palace, and it is the coolest place in the palace besides His Majesty's bedroom.
Zhou Fu stood aside and served carefully, watching the Ninth Princess sitting next to His Majesty eating, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "Oh, the Ninth Princess is one year older and even cuter."
Even the little national master personally sent a peace charm to him.
There was a painting book faintly visible inside, which the third prince personally drew for the ninth princess. In the corner, a blue and white porcelain vase lay casually aside. He didn't know what was in it, but Zhou Fu could see clearly that it was the sixth prince.
The servant at the palace sent someone to deliver it, but the Sixth Prince was frail since he was a child and was sent to the palace by His Majesty to recuperate. Logically speaking, he had never seen him before, but he also sent someone to deliver a birthday gift.
Su Yijun chuckled, "Is it delicious?"
Su Jingqin and Su Jingyi were sitting at the same table, watching this scene without saying anything, but always with a smile on their faces.
Su Jingyi subconsciously touched the corners of her lips, and when she noticed the curve above them, she subconsciously restrained herself a little, but the smile on her brows could not be concealed, "Why don't you see your third brother here today?"
As for His Majesty the Fifth Prince... Zhou Fu lowered his eyes and glanced at the necklace hanging around the neck of the Ninth Princess. If he saw it correctly, the quality of the jade on it was better than the best jade in His Majesty's treasury. I heard that some
One day, the country of Eastern Mongolia sent a bloody horse, including a small pony.
It was said that it was a birthday gift for the Ninth Princess. Tuoba Kingdom exchanged many gadgets with merchants in the west and sent them all the way to the capital. As for King Ding'an and His Highness, they also sent them to the capital at random. Look at those gadgets.
No need to think about it, everyone knows that it is specially for the Ninth Princess.
Su Jiu nestled in Su Yijun's arms, obediently letting Su Yijun wipe the oil stains on her hands with a silk handkerchief, looked at her for a while, and called softly.
"Mother gave Jiu'er a bowl of longevity noodles this morning."
"Daddy."
Su Yijun couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. Everyone on the side looked at the host in shock.
Darling, the Ninth Princess is really a favorite of the group!
Su Lixun sat aside and glanced at the villain talking quietly to Su Yijun, his beautiful fox eyes narrowed slightly.
"Huh?" Su Yijun was wearing regular clothes today, with a smile in his narrow eyes. Almost everyone present could feel his good mood today. At this time, he was wiping the villain's hands one by one, with gentle and careful movements.
Today is Jiu'er's birthday. His father knows that Jiu'er doesn't like too big a scene, so only Jiu'er's peers come and treat it as a family banquet.
The villain's face immediately wrinkled together, as if recalling it was hard to say, "No salt."
Thinking about it, Su Yijun lowered his eyes and raised his hand to touch the villain's little head. A trace of guilt flashed through his narrow eyes, "I'm really wronged Jiu'er."
Su Jiu was wearing a bright red gauze dress today, with a little red eyebrows. On her two little hairpins were hairpins made by her second sister. When she was eating, her sleeves fell down, revealing an extremely delicate bracelet. It was a skilled craftsman sent by her fourth sister.
Made.
Hiss! It’s a bit greasy!
"Second sister, if you smile like this again, I won't even recognize you." Su Jingqin was fed dog food, and the delicacies in front of her didn't seem so fragrant anymore. She picked at it casually a few times with her chopsticks, and then asked again and again.
I put it down in boredom and couldn't help but complain.
Next to her buttocks, there was a small baggage. It was said to be a baggage, but the cloth was very valuable at first glance. Zhou Fu recognized it. Isn't this the moonlight gauze sent as tribute from foreign countries this year?
Due to the severe drought in Beiyan, not only everyone in the palace had to reduce expenses, but also all the officials. Otherwise, if Su Yijun's love for Su Jiu was based on, he would have made a big deal long ago.
The group's favorite, Su Jiu, was immersed in eating and didn't notice Zhou Fu's shocked face.
A few days ago, Su Yijun issued an order to consummate the marriage between Su Jingyi and Hang Zongzhi. Su Jingqin could clearly feel the joy and joy of her second sister from the bottom of her heart. She no longer looked like the cold beauty she used to be.
When Su Jingyi asked about Su Rong'an, the smile on Su Jingqin's face faded a little, and she sighed softly, "These days, his broken body is getting worse every day."
"How could it be? Didn't you say that after using Snow Lotus, your health is much better than before?" Su Jingyi frowned slightly, "Isn't the imperial doctor also helpless?"
"I don't know." Su Jingqin angrily fiddled with the tassels of the jade pendant hanging on her girdle.
These days, Concubine Liu has been running there almost every day, and she is getting more and more haggard day by day. Su Jingqin sees this but doesn't know how to comfort her.
"Auntie must be very worried." Su Jingyi frowned, her brows tinged with worry.
