The 18th of July is the birthday of the emperor. He didn't like to do big things at first, but as an emperor, he couldn't help it. He didn't value it himself. He had his own followers.

On that day, the emperor still went to the early court, but when he got to the main hall, he could see all the gifts from the courtiers. They were like treasures. Everything could not be separated from treasures, wonders, essence, and most of them were Ruyi. There were screens, bottles, clumps of coral, bonsai, clocks, lacquerware, ornaments and so on.

As soon as the emperor sat down, the courtiers immediately kowtowed to the ground three times and exclaimed, "long live the emperor, long live the minister. I wish the emperor a happy and boundless life!"

The emperor grinned bitterly. According to the custom, today we can do the Wanshou Festival. We don't discuss the political affairs, just for his birthday.

He is not interested in these things, but this is his first birthday since he ascended the throne. Empress dowager Rui came to him yesterday and said that the new emperor's first birthday must be passed, and often has a good omen. Although he is not active, he is not against it. Let the people below do it. He just needs to show his face.

It's important to pay homage to one's birthday. One by one, according to the size of the official position, they all point to the treasure that can add light to one's face. If the emperor reacts a little, smiles or nods his head in praise, the person who gives the treasure will smile immediately, just like a gift. That's a great honor.

Unfortunately, looking at the treasure they spent a lot of time and money to get, the emperor on the Dragon chair, as usual, had no reaction with a face that was neither happy nor sad.

The courtiers had seen the big scenes, and they didn't feel embarrassed. The Lord didn't respond. They were looking for fun, flattering each other, with surprised expressions and exaggerated words. From time to time, bursts of laughter and laughter sounded in the hall, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

"Ah, Lord Sima, this white jade Buddha is really rare. It must be three feet high. There is no impurity in the whole body. The carving is excellent. The Buddha's face is kind. It must be placed at home to ensure the family's health."

"With your lucky words, it's three feet long. White jade comes from northern Xinjiang, but the sculptors are famous in the south. It's a good omen for the combination of the north and the south. Oh, this Cloisonne ornament is good. There are not many in the market. Did you come from the west? "

"You have good eyesight. You can see it. I can't blow it. The manufacturing office in our palace can't make such an ornament. The copper wire is pinched accurately. If you look at the color, blue, green and purple, it's only bright yellow. There's no other cloisonne. The experts just look at the details."

Hao pingguan stood by and sang: "master Sima, a white jade Buddha, Master Li, a cloisonne ornament..."

The emperor sat on the high platform and looked on coldly. It seemed that the excitement below had nothing to do with him. If it wasn't for the rules, he would rather stay in the South study and write a few words to pass the time.

"Mr. Yang, this screen is good. It's embroidered with brocade and tassels. Look at the flowers, fish and insects. They look like living ones. It's not something that ordinary people can embroider. If you don't talk about the strength of the flowers, the silk thread is so thin that it breaks when you stretch it. It's Jiangnan..."

"You're right. It's made by the famous red make-up embroidery shop in Jiangnan. It took more than half a year to dry the brocade. It's my filial piety to long live."

The emperor always looked up at the things from the south of the Yangtze River. He raised his eyes slightly when he heard Hao pingguan sing Jiangnan brocade embroidery. Hao pingguan knew him best, and immediately said, "come on, move the screen over so that the long live master can enjoy it."

The gift of Lord Yang was overjoyed. He followed the plug-in screen and bowed his hand to the emperor. "I wish the emperor a long life and a good fortune. This is a small gift. If it doesn't pay homage, please accept it!"

There was not much emotion on the emperor's face, only two words, "not bad." He remembers the brocade embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River. Bai Qianfan was very famous for ordering clothes for Xiao Shizi in that embroidery shop. He made a good brocade weaving and the embroidery work was excellent. The price was a little expensive. Bai Qianfan liked it, but he didn't like it. Later, he seldom patronized it.

The gifts that the emperor looked up at should be picked out separately and sent to the South study or Chengde hall for the emperor to enjoy. The rest should be sent to the storeroom for later reward.

Lord Yang knelt down to thank him and watched his gift placed alone. His face was excited. The gift was placed under the emperor's eyes. It was not only a glory, but also made the emperor remember him from time to time. It was impressive. It was good for him.

At noon, the emperor held a banquet in Bifu palace to entertain the officials. There were 20 hot dishes, 20 cold dishes, four soup dishes, four side dishes, four fresh fruits, eight melons and fruits, and nine pasta, cakes and cakes.

This birthday party will last two hours, and it will not end until the time of application. But the Emperor didn't stay that long. He couldn't bear it. The officials took turns to pay homage to empress dowager Rui after drinking. He went to the Ci'an palace. His birthday was also the most miserable day for Empress Dowager Rui. He always remembered Bai Qianfan's appearance when she gave birth, as if she had died once. He accompanied her through the scene of dying. Now, I don't know how he survived.

Only by giving birth to a child can we know the kindness of our parents. If the emperor can still have the remaining softness in his heart, it must exist for Empress Dowager Rui. This is his closest person in the world. He has experienced too much and is open to many things. Now empress dowager Rui wants to make friends with him. As a son, he should take a gesture.

When Princess Rui saw him coming, she was so happy that she gave him birthday noodles. Although the emperor had eaten, it was not easy to brush her and ate half a bowl with her.Since Princess Rui said a lot about her illness that day, the relationship between mother and son seems to be much better. As long as the emperor is free, he will come to ask the Empress Dowager whether she can eat well or sleep well. Many little things are also asked in detail. Every time the Empress Dowager sees him, she is very happy and laughs like Maitreya Buddha. It is a warm picture of mother's kindness and son's filial piety They are also very happy, the cold palace finally has a little warmth.

Mother and son ate noodles, drank tea, and chatted a few words. Then the emperor left. As soon as he came out of the hall, he saw several people coming. When the leader saw him, he arched his hand. "It turns out that the emperor is hiding here. It's easy for him to find."

The emperor smile, "you don't eat wine in Bifu palace, what do you want me to do?"

"It's boring to drink the wine when the birthday is not here. Let's talk to the emperor." The king of Jin seemed to have drunk a lot, and his face was red. He pointed to the people behind him. "It's rare that several brothers are here. I'll ask for a good drink from the emperor."

He was followed by the Murong kings of his clan. However, except for the king of Jin, no one dared to ask for wine from the emperor. They all stood aside and laughed. They were afraid of the emperor. They did not dare to come to him if they had nothing to do. They were afraid that they would be offended if they did not do well. Today, they drank a few more cups, which suddenly became popular and was dragged over by the king of Jin. At this time, when I saw the emperor, I woke up a little bit. Please say hello to him. He stood well and didn't dare to be as presumptuous as the king of Jin.
