Daoist Tongtian said with a smile: "The secret is naturally the panacea refined by the poor. Although it can't be said to be as long as the sky, it can prolong life."

The emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly asked: "Master Daoist, there really is an elixir of immortality in this world."

Daoist Tongtian nodded with a smile.

The emperor laughed, and patted his thigh with excitement: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Daoist, can you refine a potion of panacea for me?"

Taoist Master Tongtian said: "Of course it can." He took out a small porcelain bottle from his robe and said, "Poverty Dao went down the mountain in a hurry, so I could only refine a bottle of elixir, this elixir is called Wangyou Dan. As long as you eat one, all the sorrows in the world will disappear, and you will be as happy as a fairy."

He looked at the emperor and said loudly: "I will give this bottle of elixir to the emperor to congratulate you on your birthday."

When the emperor heard it, he was overjoyed: "Then I would like to thank the Taoist priest." He sent his father-in-law to put away the bottle of Wangyou Pill, and said: "Today is my birthday, and the Taoist priest actually gave it to me. For such a precious panacea, I will give Daoist Priest Jin Wanliang as a thank you."

Taoist Master Tongtian refused: "The poor Taoist is a monk. To the poor Taoist, gold is just an ordinary thing. The emperor doesn't need to be more polite."

Daoist Tongtian made the emperor think highly of money as dung, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He really is a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world!

So the emperor changed the subject: "The Taoist priest might as well sit beside me and enjoy tonight's banquet together. In the future, I still have many things I want to discuss with the Taoist priest."

Taoist Master Tongtian heard the words, and behaved neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The smile in the emperor's eyes deepened: "Come here, give me a seat!" He looked at Shang Jinyu again: "Prince, I like your gift very much. What do you like? I will give it to you."

Shang Jinyu smiled slightly when he heard the words, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Bai Xueyao who was sitting next to the Third Prince, as if inadvertently, Bai Xueyao found out, his body froze and his face turned pale.

Shang Shaoyong keenly sensed that something was wrong with Bai Xueyao, and quickly asked, "But it's uncomfortable?"

Bai Xueyao shook her head: "I'm fine."

Shang Jinyu withdrew his gaze, and said to the emperor: "I don't ask for anything, I just hope that Ama can be happy, and the minister is also happy."

The emperor's heart warmed slightly: "I understand your filial piety. Go back and sit down."

"Yes." Shang Jinyu returned to his seat with a smile.

"Happy birthday? What does this mean?" the emperor asked curiously.

Bai Xue smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is Xue'er's hometown dialect. Everyone uses this sentence to bless people who have passed their birthdays."

"So that's it." The emperor looked at Bai Xueyao very kindly, and asked with a smile: "What song are you singing? Why have I never heard it before?"

Bai Xueyao replied: "Back to Ama, this song is composed, composed and written by Xueer herself. It's called "I Hope People Live Long"."

The emperor originally had a guess in his heart, but unexpectedly he guessed right!He praised: "What a "I hope people will last forever"! You are worthy of being the grand master's daughter, and your talents follow the grand master, so good! This song is beautifully arranged. Apart from this song, you have other talents." song?"

Bai Xueyao was praised, and quickly said: "The emperor loves to listen to the songs composed by Xue'er. It is the blessing of Xue'er's life. Xue'er wrote a few songs in private, and later Xue'er gave them to the palace officials." Musician, it's just that Xue'er is ignorant, and she didn't do well, so I hope Ama will forgive me."

Seeing Bai Xueyao's modesty, the emperor smiled and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself, the words 'I wish you a long life, a thousand miles away,' you wrote in your heart is not something that ordinary people can write."

Bai Xueyao was embarrassed by the praise, and her face flushed: "Ama has praised me, it's because my father taught me well." After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a while, and said it out: "Actually, there is something that Xue'er also I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

Seeing the third daughter-in-law coaxing the emperor to be happy, the empress felt displeased: "Third princess, you can just speak up about anything. Doesn't the emperor let you speak up?"

Bai Xueyao said with a smile: "There is a custom in my hometown. If someone celebrates his birthday, everyone should sing a song together to wish each other birthday. Today is Ama's birthday, and I want to sing it to Ama."

"Okay, then you can sing it to me."

Bai Xueyao was overjoyed, she blessed Fushen and said: "Then I will make a fool of myself. This song consists of a few lines, simple and easy to remember. If the adults present can, please sing along with Xue'er. This is right. Ama's blessing."

After finishing speaking, she clapped her palms and sang: "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"

This "Birthday Song" has a simple melody and only one line of lyrics. After she repeated it a few times, most of the ministers present would be able to sing it.I don't know who started it, and sang along, as if it was infected.The ministers around him also sang along to the beat. For a while, the whole song was sung with great vigor and excitement. It sounded very lively, and the whole scene was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After Bai Xueyao led everyone to sing the whole song, she finally said to the emperor: "Xue'er wishes Ama a happy birthday again, and everything goes well. Every year is like today, and my life is better than Nanshan."

The emperor laughed, and his love for Bai Xueyao deepened in his heart: "Good singing! Good singing!" He looked at Shang Shaoyong whose face softened and said, "Third son, you married a good wife!"

Shang Shaoyong looked at Bai Xueyao with a smile, and felt honored.

The emperor looked at Cheng Bowen and his wife who were sitting at the bottom and said, "Master Cheng, you have a very good daughter."

After hearing this, Cheng Bowen also showed a proud smile on his face.This girl Xue'er gave him a face today.

After Bai Xueyao and Shang Shaoyong finished offering their gifts, they returned to their seats.

In the end, all the princesses and princes had finished presenting, except for Shang Jinnan who did not offer gifts.

Shang Jinnan stood up and calmly walked in front of the emperor.

Because the emperor met Shang Jinnan at the Summer Resort before, he knew that he would bless him with a lion dance at the birthday banquet, and he was quite looking forward to it, but now he saw that Shang Jinnan was alone, and he was wearing ordinary clothes. As he prepared for the lion dance, he couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart.

The queen has always been brooding over what happened at the Summer Resort. She looked at Shang Shaoyong and said sarcastically, "Fourth brother, didn't you say that you would present a lion dance to the emperor? The emperor and I have been looking forward to your performance, why now? I didn't see the lion dance?"

Shang Jinnan said with a smile: "I, I planned to give Ama a lion dance, but Ama saw it that day, and there was no surprise after seeing it. So I want to give another thing to Ama."

Hearing this, the emperor asked with great interest: "Fourth brother, what do you want to give me?"

Shang Jinnan didn't answer, he turned around and shouted from the air: "It can be delivered."

Under everyone's curious eyes, several young eunuchs came up with a table.

Everyone: Meow meow?What is this for?

The next development became even more unreal. The little eunuch brought up a pot and a big copper plate.

In addition, there is actually a small stove and a large colander.

Hey, what exactly does the Fourth Prince want to do?cooking? !
Shang Shaoyong raised his sleeves, revealing two strong arms.Yes, since coming here, Shang Jinnan has insisted on exercising every day, and now it has achieved some results. At least the flesh on his arms has become much firmer, not as fleshy as before.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he poured a bowl of flour into the copper plate smartly, then added a small bowl of water, waved the power of his unicorn arm, and tossed the flour in the copper plate vigorously. After a while, the flour inside was gone. Kneaded into dough by him.

Then came the main event!
I saw him grabbing the two ends of the dough with both hands and beating it vigorously on the table. The chubby dough slowly turned into strips under his beating. He folded the strips of dough and beat them repeatedly. , The dough is getting longer and longer, almost turning into strands of noodles.

Although it looked very simple, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the slender noodles appearing.

Shang Shaoyong held the noodles in one hand, and with the other hand he opened the pot that had already boiled and put the noodles in.A burst of heat came out of the pot.

Shang Shaoyong quickly scooped up the noodles with a colander, and put them into a bowl with chicken soup on the side.

Then he put the bowl of noodles on the tray, and holding the tray in both hands, he walked up to the emperor and said, "Ama, this is the longevity noodles I made for you, try it." Flour smeared his face when he smirked, and he looked goofy when he laughed.

But the emperor felt as if there was a warm current in his heart, spreading throughout his body and mind.

This is the longevity noodles made by his emperor himself.

He stood up, walked over, and personally took the bowl of noodles from Shang Jinnan's hand, carefully and cherishing it, as if this bowl of noodles was some kind of precious treasure.

From the emperor's reaction, everyone knows that there are so many gifts from princes and princesses, but the emperor's favorite is this simple bowl of longevity noodles.

Everyone can't help feeling sorry, if the fourth prince is not born with dementia, with the thoughtful actions of the fourth prince, I am afraid that the distribution of power in the imperial capital will undergo another major reshuffle.

The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the fourth child really has a heart."

The emperor showed a fatherly smile, and he said dotingly: "The fourth son has always been the most filial." After saying this, the expressions of the princes and princesses present were not very good.

Does Ama mean that they are not as filial as a demented child?It's just a bowl of cheap noodles, can it compare to the fairy medicine Ye Mingzhu and Tianyu they found through so much painstaking efforts? !
They were dissatisfied, but they could only hold back.

The emperor didn't care about the twists and turns in the hearts of his sons and daughters, he held the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the slender noodles in the bowl, and ate them in one bite.Naturally, this noodle was not as good as the royal chef's superb cooking skills, but it was the most delicious noodle that the emperor thought he had ever eaten in his life.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed that this bowl of noodles came from the hands of the fourth child.

"Is it delicious?" Shang Jinnan looked at the emperor expectantly.

The emperor smiled and said: "Yummy, this is the most delicious noodle I have ever eaten, fourth brother, how can you make such delicious noodle?"

Shang Jinnan smiled modestly: "Hey, Ah Ma, I learned from Uncle Lin."

Uncle Lin is?The emperor was puzzled.

Seeing where Shang Jinnan was originally sitting, Cheng Bingling stood up and added with a smile: "Reporting to the Emperor, Uncle Lin is the royal chef in the palace."

The emperor was stunned, and then he heard Cheng Bingling explain: "Ever since he came back from the summer resort, the prince has always wanted to surprise the emperor. Once, he heard that there is a folk custom that ordinary people eat a bowl of longevity noodles on their birthdays. , This longevity noodle is a very, very long noodle. It cannot be broken, otherwise the meaning will be bad. In order to make this bowl of longevity noodles, the prince has practiced hard for several days. It was not until today that he succeeded."

After the emperor heard this, he took another look at the longevity noodles in the bowl, and it turned out to be a long noodle. He knew that his emperor was always pampered, so how could he have experience in cooking.To make this kind of noodles, the fourth child has to suffer so much.
