Today is the thirty-third birthday of Emperor Jiaqing. Although it is not a full birthday, it is still held with great grandeur.

Even though Emperor Jiaqing was a diligent emperor, he would naturally not go to court to handle government affairs on his birthday.

Early in the morning, everyone in the palace had faces full of joy, and they were busy preparing for the emperor's birthday banquet.

Ever since Jiang Wan completely recovered from her injury, Emperor Jiaqing has stayed at her place every day.

Today, Jiang Wan went to the Queen's place to pay her respects, and then came back to have dinner with him.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Wan came to Emperor Jiaqing with something in her arms and said to him: "Your Majesty, this is a birthday gift from my concubine. I wish you good luck and prosperity from time to time." Happy birthday!"

As she spoke, she opened the thing she was holding in her hand. Only then did Emperor Jiaqing realize that what she was holding was a moon-white, silver-threaded, dark-patterned robe.

Emperor Jiaqing was immediately surprised and said: "Did you embroider this yourself?"

Jiang Wan said softly, "Hmm", and gestured with him with the robe, and then urged: "Your Majesty, put it on quickly and try to see if it fits you?"

Although Jiang Wan made it according to his size and knew that the possibility of it not fitting was extremely low, the reason why she wanted him to wear it was to see if the dress would suit him.

"Okay." Emperor Jiaqing had no objection and immediately took off his robe.

This was not the first time that Jiang Wan helped him change clothes, so she did it very well at the moment, and she quickly helped him put on the robe she made by herself.

Jiang Wanzai looked at him carefully and said with a satisfied smile: "Your Majesty looks very good in this robe, and the color makes you look younger."

Emperor Jiaqing, who was full of joy and looked down at his new robes, couldn't help but look slightly stiff when he heard Jiang Wan's words.

Her words reminded him that he was no longer young. He was thirty-three years old now, and Jiang Wan was not yet nineteen. He was nearly one round older than her.

"Wanwan, do you think I'm old?" Emperor Jiaqing touched his face, feeling a little unconfident.

He had never felt that he was older before, but now he felt like this.

When he reached forty, she was in her twenties.

When Jiang Wan heard what he said, she was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How could it be? Your Majesty is now in the prime of life and is not old at all."

"But I am so many years older than you."

Jiang Wan comforted him and said, "They say that when you get older, you will love others. I like you like this. I think it's just right."

Her eyes were sincere and convincing, and you couldn't help but believe her words.

Emperor Jiaqing just suddenly felt something. Now that he heard her say this, he immediately felt relieved.

Things like old husband and young wife are actually quite normal in Dayan.

For example, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is already in his fifties. Last year, he took in a beautiful concubine who was 28 years old, which caused quite a stir at the time.

Emperor Jiaqing felt that compared to Wang Shangshu, he was actually not that old. Wang Shangshu even had gray hair on his temples, but he didn't have a single gray hair on his head or a beard, and he looked young. He looked just... Around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

"Wanwan is right, I just know how to love people. During these days, I love you so much every night." Emperor Jiaqing was in a good mood and started to joke with her.

Although what he said was true, Jiang Wan still felt a little shy when these words fell in her ears.

She glanced at him angrily, then changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't said whether you like the gift my concubine gave you?"

"It's a gift from Wanwan. I really like it." Emperor Jiaqing reached out and touched the embroidery on his clothes and couldn't put it down.

In fact, when he saw that she had made several sets of clothes for Chen'er, but didn't make anything for him, he was still a little jealous of his own royal son. Now that he had received the clothes made by her own hands, he was naturally very happy.

The stitching of this robe is tight and the patterns embroidered on it are lifelike, which shows that she has put great care into it.

Thinking that they were together every day, but he didn't see her making clothes for him, he couldn't help but be curious.

"This dress must have taken a long time, right? Why have I never seen you become a female celebrity?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wan explained: "I started making preparations long before I went to the Summer Resort. In order to give His Majesty a surprise, I secretly made them for His Majesty. When Your Majesty came down, I had someone put them away. ”

Hearing what she said, Emperor Jiaqing couldn't help but hold her hand and said touchedly: "You are thoughtful. I like this gift very much, but I can't bear to leave you because you are too tired. I heard that doing embroidery is the most harmful to the eyes. Do you want to do embroidery?" Be careful, I don't want you to get hurt."

Hearing his caring words, Jiang Wan felt sweet in her heart, and she said, "Concubine, please don't worry."

Emperor Jiaqing really liked Jiang Wan's birthday gift, and he wasn't lying. He put it on and didn't take it off. If it weren't for the palace banquet where he had to dress more formally, he might have worn Jiang Wan's gift all day long. The robe he made goes out to show off.

This was the first piece of clothing he had ever received from Jiang Wan, so he had to cherish it.

When Emperor Jiaqing passed by Eunuch Wei, he suddenly asked him: "Do you think the clothes on me look good?"

His question stunned Eunuch Wei, and then he carefully looked at the robe he was wearing.

As the eunuch in front of Emperor Jiaqing, Eunuch Wei actually noticed that Emperor Jiaqing had changed into another piece of clothing right away. However, after careful observation, he found that the clothes were something he had never seen before.

Although Emperor Jiaqing had many costumes, Eunuch Wei remembered every one of them clearly.

Eunuch Wei knew his temper very well, so he knew that he would not ask him such questions for no reason. Thinking that they were in Changchun Palace now, he immediately had the answer in his mind, so he praised: "This robe Was it made by Concubine Hui herself for His Majesty? It suits His Majesty very well and is very consistent with His Majesty’s temperament. Your Majesty is really ingenious and thoughtful."

Hearing Eunuch Wei's approach, Emperor Jiaqing was immediately delighted and said to him, "Concubine Hui is indeed very discerning. This robe suits my heart very well."

When Eunuch Wei heard this, he knew he was right.

"How many years have you been with me?" Emperor Jiaqing asked.

Eunuch Wei replied: "Your Majesty, it has been ten years."

When Emperor Jiaqing first ascended the throne, he followed him, but at that time he was not the chief eunuch, just an ordinary eunuch in Qianqing Palace.

When the late emperor was still alive, he had contacts with Emperor Jiaqing, who was still a prince. Although he served the late emperor, he was secretly a member of Emperor Jiaqing. He secretly conveyed news to Emperor Jiaqing and helped a lot. This is also The reason why he was able to stay and serve the new emperor after the death of the previous emperor.

Hearing Eunuch Wei's answer, Emperor Jiaqing said happily: "You have served me for so many years and helped me do a lot of things. I will not treat you badly. Today is my birthday, so I will give you a reward. I’ll reward you with two more months of monthly payment this month.”

Hearing Emperor Jiaqing's words, Eunuch Wei hurriedly smiled and knelt down to express his gratitude: "Old slave, thank you for your majesty's reward!"

Although Eunuch Wei, as a popular person around Emperor Jiaqing, was certainly not short of money, and he had accumulated a large sum of money over the years.

However, no one thinks that there is too much money these days.
