The system forced me to be emperor

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Don't bother, don't bother, one family doesn't talk about two families."

The corners of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched slightly, and after he said a few more words, he quickly fled Zhongyonghou's mansion on the grounds that he was going to hire a painter.

In the afternoon, Xiao Rui invited a well-known painter in the capital to come to Zhongyong Hou to paint.Described by Mrs. Zhang, the artist paints, and the painting can be driven out tomorrow.

Although Emperor Xia emphasized that birthdays are not allowed to be held on special occasions or held any activities, it seems that everyone in the capital spontaneously began to refrain from killing animals, eat vegetarian meals, and pray for Emperor Xia and the Xiaoshengxian Empress.

This is the people's support for Emperor Xia's love for the people like a son, which shows the status of Emperor Xia in the hearts of the people.

Many emperors claimed to be a wise and benevolent monarch, but the standard of a benevolent monarch in the true sense is still in the hearts of the people.

On the day of his birthday, Emperor Xia, as in the past, was in the early court and was in government affairs.

At that time, Xiao Rui set off from the mansion and entered the palace to attend a family banquet.

As usual, the family banquet was still held in the Palace of Preservation. When Xiao Rui arrived, several other princes had already arrived, as well as King Zhou Xiao Mingying and King Qi Xiao Hanhai.

Back then, Emperor Xiaowen spread out and had nineteen sons. Emperor Xia and eighteen princes competed for the throne, and finally sat on the throne, leaving only Xiao Mingying and Xiao Hanhai.

Xiao Mingying supported Xia Huang as emperor, so under Xia Huang's trust, he entrusted the clan mansion to his management.As for Xiao Hanhai, he survived by luck because he was young at that time.Now being a happy prince in the capital, raising birds and walking dogs, I am really happy.

As for the king of the county, this is not among the invitations for today's family banquet.After all, they are another generation away. Although there are not many royal relatives and county kings, most of them are rewarded in other places, not in the capital.

Xiao Rui greeted the two princes and concubines, and said hello to the elder brothers before finding a quiet place to stay.Of course, Xiao Yan's entanglement is indispensable everywhere.

"Seventh brother, what birthday gift did you prepare?" Xiao Yan asked.

"A painting." Xiao Rui asked, "What about you?"

"A picture." Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he said, "We really have a good understanding. Originally, I wanted to send a painting, but I couldn't find any valuable ones. I had to settle for the next best thing, and I went to Gongsun, a famous artist in the former dynasty. "Crazy Grass Fu"!"

"Yo, the generosity." Xiao Rui admired.

Xiao Yan said quietly: "5 taels!"

I can buy a four-entry house in Nancheng District.

"The local rich man." Xiao Rui admired.

Xiao Yan said: "What is this? I heard that the second elder brother bought a piece of Shoushan stone with a height of one person from Dayan Kingdom, and asked several famous masters to carve it for nearly eight months. The birthday gift is not inferior. This is the only opportunity in a year to show filial piety, who would not cherish it. Seventh brother, how much is your painting? After you were injured, people all over the capital gave you gifts, which should be enough for you to buy a painting It’s a famous painting.”

"Oh, I spent 500 taels to ask a famous artist in Beijing who is good at figure painting to draw a picture." Xiao Rui said.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened: "Brother, you are too stingy, you stewed the golden dragon koi of the father, and you gave this gift?"

"Etiquette is less important than affection." Xiao Rui said, "Maybe it will become Father's favorite gift."

As soon as the words were finished, a voice that didn't fit in suddenly came from Xiao Rui's mind.

"Ding dong..."

"New task: The gift is overwhelming. The gift given becomes Emperor Xia's favorite. After the task is completed, the descending value will be +10. If the task fails, Jia Xu's loyalty will drop to 0."

"Current Advent Value: 0/100"

Xiao Rui blinked. He didn't expect that the task of bringing down Xu Xianyang was not over, and a new task came. It seems that the tasks can be superimposed.

However, Gou Ri's system will not release tasks in advance, and now that the gifts are all ready, they can only resign themselves to fate.

and many more!

It seems that the system is very insidious, and the task it proposes when the gift is ready is to let Xiao Rui perform well, and the gift is not enough to make up the IQ.

I go to Nima...

Xiao Rui's expression was not good.

Xiao Yan stared at the brocade box in Xiao Rui's hand, and asked, "Brother, let me see what you drew?"

"No! This is a secret weapon." Xiao Rui glared and shouted.

Xiao Yan pouted aggrievedly, and began to pretend to be pitiful.

Xiao Rui will not be deceived by his disguise.

Not long after, the eunuch with the handprint of the Shangshan Supervisor entered the hall and informed everyone in the hall that His Majesty and the concubines of the harem were walking towards the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

Ever since, the princes and princes in the hall were seated on the left side, Xiao Mingying, Xiao Hanhai, the first prince, the second prince up to the ninth prince according to their age.

After sitting down, Emperor Xia brought the harem concubines into the palace.

Emperor Xia ascended to the throne, accompanied by the empress.Other imperial concubines and concubines sit on the right according to their rank.

The Great Xia Kingdom regards the left as the most respected, so the concubine sits on the right side, and the reason why the mother is more valuable than the son.

Eunuch Hai served in front of Emperor Xia, and immediately roared: "The auspicious time has come, and the birthday banquet begins."

The princes and concubines on both sides stood up one after another, saluted and congratulated in unison: "I wish your majesty (father) a long life!"

Emperor Xia laughed out loud. As the birthday star, he was naturally very happy: "I am deeply relieved, I am flat, flat."

Everyone went back to their seats and sat down.

According to the flow of the birthday banquet, firstly, a song and dance was enjoyed, and then the prince and prince presented gifts, and the luncheon officially started.After dinner, the banquet table was removed, and then the wine and dinner were set up.The birthday banquet lasts for four hours. It is arranged at noon, held at noon, and ends at noon.Because it was a family banquet, Emperor Xia removed the banquet, so it didn't need such a long time.

Following Eunuch Hai's arrangement, the singing and dancing began soon.

Chapter 38: The Prince's Battle

There was a festive atmosphere in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.

With the end of the "Birthday Dance of the Immortals", the dancer slowly exited the hall, and then came the important part of the birthday gifts of the princes and princes.

Every year this link is the most exciting, it is simply a dance of gods and demons, to see whose gift is the most sacred heart.

First came Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying.

He waved his hand, and two strong men brought in a large blue and white bowl, which was one meter high and one meter in diameter.This thing attracted everyone's attention, wondering what was in the big deep bowl.

"Seventh brother, what is this?" Xiao Yan asked in a low voice.

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes at him: "Fish soup!"

"Really? So big?" Xiao Yan asked in shock.

Xiao Rui didn't want to talk to him.

"Imperial brother, what is this?" Emperor Xia asked curiously.
