This time, Xiaocao sat with the Queen Mother. Because of her different status, she could not sit with the Wen family members. Instead, she sat at the same table as the Queen Mother. Moreover, this was Emperor Xuanren's Wanshou, and the Queen Mother would not

Sharing the same table with Emperor Xuanren.

At the Queen Mother's table, there was also Princess Fukang, the oldest and most senior princess in the royal family. She was even the Queen Mother's ancestor, as well as Princess Duan.

Whether it is Xiaocao or Princess Duan, being able to sit at this table shows their extraordinary status. Although Xiaocao is doing it because of herself, and Princess Duan is doing it because of Prince Duan, after all, they have reached the same destination through different paths, and I don’t know how many people will be jealous.

.

On the left side of the Queen Mother is the old princess, on the right is Princess Fukang, Xiaocao is sitting under Princess Fukang, and opposite is Princess Duan.

Xiaocao's eyes fell on the huge stage without a roof. This stage was quite different from the regular stage. It had a sense of "posterity". She was a little skeptical at first, but she just waited until the "opening dance" came on.

At that time, it was determined that Li Ruoshui had a hand in it. She and Li Ruoshui had a showdown at the beginning of the first year, and Emperor Xuanren's birthday banquet was being prepared when she was still in the epidemic area, so it was strange.

It's a pity that the Pingjin Marquis Mansion didn't think highly of her. Of course, Li Ruoshui was just giving advice on these matters, not making trouble. Xiaocao actually didn't mind at all. In fact, she was still looking forward to it now.

The costumes of the opening dance and hundreds of women are very different from the costumes worn during prayers. The upper part is more close-fitting, but the lower part is full of large ruffles. Because the distance is a bit far away, the finer details cannot be seen very clearly.

, there seems to be lace.

There is a bit of movement in the woman's softness. It is estimated that the music was specially written.

Many people looked at it more intently. Obviously, relatively novel things can basically attract attention when they first appear. Xiaocao nodded secretly, it is indeed good. - If Li Ruoshui didn't plagiarize poems, no.

She hooks up with men everywhere, lives a peaceful life, and occasionally comes up with "new ideas". In fact, her life is still very good, but I don't understand, why is there something wrong with her brain?

"Who organized these things this year? It's quite novel." The Queen Mother couldn't help but say.

Xiaocao remained silent, holding a dried fruit in her hand and eating it slowly. Li Ruoshui was originally detained in the Marquis Mansion by Mrs. Pingjin Marquis. What she wanted to do could only be achieved through Hua Baichen.

Therefore, just like the previous "Feast of Thousand Men and Thousand Ladies", it was also through the Li family. In this case, it is not sure whether she can come forward again.

"If the Queen Mother wants to know, just ask later." Princess Fukang said, "Maybe there are other good ideas. The Queen Mother can still be happy when she has nothing to do."

The mother-daughter relationship between Princess Fukang and the Queen Mother has gradually become more harmonious. Of course, it is still far from the close mother-daughter relationship. After all, Princess Fukang is already in her early forties.

They have become introverted, so I am afraid that the relationship between them will never be the same as before the estrangement occurred.

"That's not necessary." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "If things are done properly, there will definitely be a reward afterwards. As for the other things, forget about it. This dance is suitable for what it is now. If it were done at other times, it would be noisy, and Aijia would definitely

I can’t stand it.”

"This novel idea may not necessarily be a noisy one."

"Let's talk about it then. If the Queen Mother is bored, Fukang can also come to the palace to spend more time with the Ai family. The Ai family are now at their age, and every day they live will be one day less." The Queen Mother was once very skillful and quite appreciated.

The strong woman is clearly showing weakness now.

Princess Fukang was slightly silent, "Okay."

The smile on the Queen Mother's face became even more obvious.

Seeing this, the old princess next to her smiled and said: "The Queen Mother said this, how should I, an old woman, handle myself?"

"The Ai family made a mistake. My uncle and aunt should not be blamed."

"Both of you, you two, will live a long life." Princess Duan also spoke next to her.

"The Queen Mother and the old princess are both in good health. They should pay attention to all aspects and expect to live longer." Xiaocao has the most say in this aspect, and she is not lying. These two are indeed in better shape than their peers.

"Girl Xuan is a miracle doctor. This is the most credible thing." The two old people laughed. As long as there is no serious illness, who doesn't want to live longer? After hearing Xiaocao's words, they were naturally happy.

Emperor Xuanren heard the commotion and looked back. He was naturally happy to see the harmonious scene.

After the "opening dance", King Duan took the lead and raised their glasses. Everyone toasted Emperor Xuanren together. The sound of shouting "Long Live the Mountain" was deafening. Except for some of the envoys who looked a little ugly, most of them

Most people were affected and very excited.

After Emperor Xuanren's serious illness, he did not drink alcohol for a long time. Later, he drank a little occasionally. Today, he got into the mood and drank one cup straight away, which was quite heroic.

Today is a special day, and Xiaocao will definitely not stop him. Of course, as long as he doesn’t drink uncontrollably, there is no need to worry. After all, Xiaocao prepared anti-alcohol potion for Eunuch Hong before, and he must have given permission.

Emperor Xuanren ate first.

Of course, this hangover medicine was not given to Emperor Xuanren only.

We continued to drink the wine, but the banquet had not officially started yet, and the table was filled with side dishes to go with the wine.

The performances on the stage also continued, with "tradition" and "novelty" intertwining, and from time to time there would be a "birthday show", which had the smell of a prosperous and peaceful time. Even before I was drunk, I felt a little tipsy.

Even if it is a birthday, birthday congratulations are naturally indispensable. It still started with King Duan and his brothers paying homage to Emperor Xuanren. Prayers came one after another, except for the Queen Mother, with uniform birthday messages and sincere wishes.

.

After paying homage to the birthday, it is natural to present birthday gifts. What is different from the Queen Mother's time is that only the princes who have grown up and been crowned kings will be presented with birthday gifts on the spot. After that, birthday gifts will be brought by envoys from various countries.

There are naturally many methods for this birthday ceremony. Not to mention our own people, people from other countries can basically get a glimpse of their attitude towards praying from the birthday ceremony. Of course, sometimes they will hide it, for example, if they want to cover up

When you show your true attitude.

Compared with the Queen Mother Qianqiu, King Heng caused trouble, and today the birthday gifts of the princes are quite satisfactory. None of them are very distinctive, and none of them look shabby. Being distinctive is not easy, and if it is shabby, it is a shame.

Throw it in front of other people.

What follows is the birthday gifts of various countries, which is probably the most important one. It is the finale, so Liu Gao was originally arranged to be the first. However, Liu Gao, Mu Bei’s mortal enemy general, did not agree. As the chief envoy, Liu Gao was

Prince Xiao Yu did not stop him either.

To have to argue about this kind of thing is actually very childish and boring in the eyes of many people. However, these six cutters have been doing this from the beginning and seem to have been refreshing their "age."

"Bottom line.

Qi Chao has an indifferent attitude, so there must be a starting country. However, the backward remarks of "the stronger, the better" have made many small countries feel grudge. They admit that their country is not very strong.

However, it would be really embarrassing to admit that he is the weakest, it is impossible.

The scene seemed to be reaching a deadlock. In this case, the bejeweled prince of the treasure kingdom stood up and said, "In that case, let's start with our treasure kingdom." With the gift list in hand, he asked people to bring the birthday gifts.

Although Baoguo is far inferior to countries like Qi Zhaoliuguo Xichi, except for these countries, Baoguo is definitely the largest and the richest even if it is not the strongest among the remaining countries.

Yes, if it is the weakest, then the remaining small countries can just dig a hole and bury themselves.

The Black Prince finally solved the problem, and everyone else was somewhat grateful, except for Liu Qiang who was looking for trouble.

The birthday gift was brought up and decorated with red silk. It looked tall and big. It reminded me inexplicably of the jade Guanyin statue of King Heng the year before last. Of course, Baoguo had prepared two pieces, and they were nearly as high as they were.

Two people.

When the red silk was lifted, everyone almost felt like they were being dazzled.

People subconsciously label Baoguo as a nouveau riche. Of course, a country that is neither short of money nor rich in other products has to curse bitterly in its heart.

The birthday gift of the Bao Kingdom is also quite in line with their national conditions, and is a proper "local specialty" - gold, silver and gemstone trees.

The tree trunks and branches are made of pure gold and decorated with various warm-colored gemstones. Today's sun is also good. In early spring, it is still very cold and the sun is not shining. It is more than enough to make the gem tree sparkle.

As for the silver treasure tree next to it, the trunk and branches are not made of pure silver, but relatively cool-colored gemstones are inlaid one by one. The big ones are as big as a fist, and the small ones are as big as the tip of a thumb. The upper branches are

It's not embellished with gems, but it's still densely packed with jade leaves. Regardless of the water quality or color, they are all of the best quality.

The overall shape of the Jin Bao tree is somewhat like a pomegranate tree, while the shape of the Silver Bao tree is somewhat like an ancient pine welcoming guests. From the workmanship point of view, a lot of thought has been put into it. I would say, just because it is a specialty of Bao country, I will take care of it later.

With the development in this direction, Baoguo can be said to have the best craftsmen of gold, silver and gemstones, so these two trees are extraordinary in terms of value and art.

"Baoguo is interested, I like it very much." Although in fact, Emperor Xuanren really wanted to demolish them all, which was really a bit dazzling, but after thinking about it, he let it go.

——These two trees are also very attractive to most women, and their ideas are somewhat similar to that of Emperor Xuan Ren. However, they don’t think they are dazzling, but they just want to make them into various attractive shapes.

The head and face that people can’t put down.

I thought that these were the only birthday gifts in Baoguo, but it was not the case. In addition to this, there were also some gold, silver and gemstones. It was really quite simple, crude and "tacky".

Emperor Xuanren couldn't help but put his fist to his lips.

The birthday gifts from the country with treasures are shocking, but the birthday gifts from smaller countries later seem a bit ordinary. However, they are basically all kinds of specialties, plus some rare treasures.

Then, during these birthday gifts, Xiaocao saw two elephants.

He must have been sleeping after taking medicine before, but when he was brought in after a lot of effort, he woke up, raised his nose and roared, and his ears seemed to be deafened.

When the elephant slowly stood up, it looked like two small hills. Visually, it was as tall as two adult men combined. The male elephant's tusks were four to five feet long, and it looked like it had a lethal force.

An extremely powerful weapon.

You know, there are only a handful of people present who have seen these things, so you can imagine the shock they bring.

The country that presented the elephant was very proud to see the people's eyes fixed on their faces. It was worth their while to bring the two sacred elephants. The envoy introduced and praised the two elephants in not-so-quick mandarin prayers.

Express their highest respect to His Majesty the Emperor.

But as time went by, something seemed a little wrong with the two elephants. They were hitting the iron cage. Under the huge force, even if the deaf man was made of arms thick bars, there was a clanging sound, clearly telling everyone that,

The cage can't trap them at all. If such a giant goes crazy... the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Many people were frightened and prepared to run away at any moment.

The faces of everyone in the mission who presented the elephant became uneasy, as if they didn't know why there was such a change.
