After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

The female guests were chatting lively, and the male guests were not to be outdone.

In addition to Lin Qingyao's maternal grandparents, the other two old princes also came with their families to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

The four old princes were born and died together when they were young, and they had deep feelings for each other.

The four major families are related by marriage to each other and have close contacts.

Four old men over fifty gathered together to reminisce about the past.

While everyone was chatting with each other, four gray-haired but energetic old women walked in, supporting each other.

They are the wives of the four old princes.

The four major families are closely related, and they often gathered together when they were young.

It's just that as we get older, there are fewer opportunities to gather together and talk like this.

Finally having such an opportunity, as soon as the three old ladies arrived at the Hou Mansion, they went directly to Xinyuan Hall to chat with today's birthday boy.

Several old ladies chatted happily, and it wasn't until the birthday banquet began that they helped each other to the table.

Today, the old lady is wearing a bright red back coat, her silver hair is tied into a bun, and she is paired with a hosta. Her whole face is radiant.

With so many people coming to celebrate her birthday today, the old lady is naturally in a good mood.

"Thank you for coming to my birthday party today. You don't have to be formal."

"Thank you to the fourth prince, fifth prince, fifth princess and Princess Mingyue for coming to celebrate my birthday."

Several members of the royal family are naturally mentioned individually as a sign of respect.

"You don't have to be polite, old lady."

The eldest among them was Xiao Jingyi, who replied on behalf of the others.

The old marquis and the old lady sat down at the table, and the birthday banquet officially began.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion presented birthday gifts and congratulatory messages one after another, and the old lady couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear with joy.

The younger generation came forward to congratulate her on her birthday: "My grandson and grandson wish my grandma a blessing as good as the East Sea and a longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."

"Okay, okay, grandma will live a long life with filial children like you."

The old lady looked at these children kindly and was very pleased.

Lin Yinglei and his wife gave her a pure gold Buddha statue. The old lady believed in Buddhism and immediately smiled from ear to ear when she saw the Buddha statue.

"Grandma, my grandson knows that you often eat fast and worship Buddha, so he asked someone to find this pure gold Buddha statue as a birthday gift. It is a tribute to you from both of us. I hope grandma will like it."

"I like it, you two are interested."

Lin Yingche gave a fairy peach made of jasper, "Grandma, this is a fairy peach made of jasper, crystal clear. The fairy peach means longevity. My grandson wishes my grandmother a long life."

"Oh, this is so beautiful. Grandma likes it very much."

The third son, Lin Yingchang, gave him a piece of jasper.

Lin Yingchang is Fang Yueru's son and Lin Qingrou's brother.

Lin Yingchang is an upright person, but he also loves his sister Lin Qingrou very much. I wonder if he will be in the same trap as their mother and daughter.

Lin Yingyan gave a red coral tree as a gift. It was crystal clear and shimmered under the sunlight. It was a rare treasure that he had finally found and was worth a lot of money.

Lin Qingwan and Lin Qingyi jointly presented a landscape painting. Lin Qingwan painted it and Lin Qingyi wrote a poem.

In the painting, the sun and the moon shine together, a mountain peak stands tall, and there is a leafy pine and cypress beside the mountain peak.

The whole painting has a profound artistic conception and an air of indifference.

Lin Qingwan is a well-known talented woman who is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her paintings are always vivid and give people an immersive feeling.

In the upper right corner of the painting is a poem written by Lin Qingyi:

Like the eternity of the moon, like the rise of the sun.

Just like the longevity of Nanshan, it will not collapse even if it is not strong.

Just like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, all of them can be inherited.

It means that it never sets like the moon and rises every day like the sun. Like the Qinling Mountains, it will live forever and will not migrate or collapse. Like pines and cypresses, they are lush and evergreen, and all their children will inherit this blessing and longevity.

What wonderful wishes.

Lin Qingyi's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and she has a good foundation.

"Grandma, my granddaughter and my fourth sister completed a painting as a birthday gift for you. I wish you a long life."

"Grandma, the painting was painted by my eldest sister. My granddaughter is not as good as my eldest sister. I wrote a poem for you. I hope grandma won't dislike it."

As soon as the painting was unfolded, everyone was amazed. Lin Qingwan's reputation as a talented woman was well earned.

Lin Qingyi's poems are also very good and have everyone's style.

"How could grandma not like the birthday gift you made for grandma with your own hands?"

The old lady looked at the painting with pleasure, nodded with satisfaction, and asked Huazhu to put the painting away.

Lin Qingyao sighed secretly. Compared with the gifts they made by themselves, it seemed that she was not sincere. It was all Lin Qingrou's fault.

Fortunately, she couldn't attend the birthday party today, otherwise she would have been in the limelight again.

"Grandma, compared with the gifts from my eldest sister and fourth sister, this gift from my granddaughter is not that special."

Lin Qingyao took out her gift and let Qiuyue Qiuhan unfold it.

"This is a picture of a hundred years of longevity, written by a hundred famous artists in a hundred different fonts. I hope grandma will like it."

Next year I must personally embroider a picture of a hundred years of longevity for my grandmother.

Lin Qingyao's female beauty was taught by Li Linglan herself, and she was extremely confident in her female beauty.

"Second girl, this gift is also very special. Grandma likes it very much."

Hearing this, Lin Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her grandmother likes it.

Lin Qinghan tremblingly handed over the purse she had given herself. Although it was not expensive, it contained her heart.

The old lady also accepted it with satisfaction, just sighing that Wu Yatou had such a timid temperament.

After everyone in the Hou Mansion finished giving gifts, other guests began to congratulate them on their birthday.

The congratulatory gifts from everyone are dazzling, and all of them are rare and rare treasures.

The most valuable thing among them is the night pearl given by Jamel Xiao.

Although Jamel Xiao said it was a birthday gift for the Queen Mother to the old lady, this night pearl was indeed a gift that surpassed everyone.

Xiao Jingyi was very unhappy that he was robbed of the limelight.

He never expected that Jamel Xiao would use such a precious luminous pearl to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

Xiao Jingyi sneered in his heart, fifth brother, fifth brother, since you insist on competing with me for Lin Qingyao, don't blame your fourth brother for being ruthless.

Xiao Jingyi always knew that Jamel Xiao saved Lin Qingyao two years ago, and it was also at that time that he saw Jamel Xiao's thoughts about Lin Qingyao.

Lin Qingyao is a necessary condition for him to achieve his great cause. He will never allow others to interfere, especially Jamel Xiao.

He is the prince's younger brother. If he gets Lin Qingyao, the prince's power will become even greater, and he will be even less able to compete with her.

So he asked Rou'er to constantly instigate the relationship between Lin Qingyao and Jamel Xiao, not only to make Lin Qingyao devoted to him, but also to make Lin Qingyao hate Jamel Xiao.

After the gift-giving was over, the dancer appeared on the stage, and the banquet was very lively.

After the banquet, the men were still changing glasses and chatting in groups of twos and threes.

The women entered the backyard one after another, chatting about everyday things.

Li Linglan quietly came to her daughter's side and whispered: "Follow me to Lingxi Hall later to talk to your grandmother."

Lin Qingyao understood immediately and turned to Xiao Qingning and Princess Mingyue: "Ning'er, Sister Mingyue, you go with Qiu Han to my Yaotai Pavilion first. I will go to my mother to talk to my grandmother first."

"Okay, feel free to go."

"Qiu Han, take care of the fifth princess and Princess Mingyue for me. I'll come as soon as I go."

"Yes, Miss. Fifth Princess, Princess Mingyue, please come with your servant."

Qiu Han made a gesture of invitation, his voice as calm as ever.

"Qiuyue, follow me to Lingxi Hall."

"Yes, miss." Qiuyue hurriedly followed Lin Qingyao's footsteps.
