After all the concubines had presented their gifts, it was the turn of the princes to express their filial piety. The eldest prince presented a century-old coral tree.
It is fully two meters high, and the tree is glowing with a faint golden light, vaguely forming the Chinese character "longevity", which looks extremely beautiful.
All the ministers and their families could not help but exclaim in amazement.
No one knew where the eldest prince had found it from. Standing in the center of the hall, he said with a proud look on his face, "Father, this is something I found especially for you. I hope you like it."
Emperor Li glanced at it casually and said in a light tone: "Very good, I like it very much."
The eldest prince:! ! !
The eldest prince didn't expect that his father would really like it, and he immediately became as proud as a peacock spreading its tail.
He raised his hand and signaled the two young eunuchs to carry the century-old coral tree around the hall for everyone to see. At the palace banquet tonight, he was the only one who could get a word of favor from his father!
Seeing that her own prince was in the limelight at this time, Concubine Shu raised her chin, and her pretty face couldn't help but reveal a look of joy and satisfaction.
Look, her son is always the most promising one!
Shufei even glanced at the Queen on purpose, but the Queen ignored her and didn't even look at her.
Emperor Li ignored the thoughts of the eldest prince and Concubine Shu. He couldn't wait to know what gift Xier would give.
After all, he knew that Xi'er had been sending people to secretly search for the thousand-year-old warm jade, but he didn't know whether Xi'er could find it...
Thinking of this, Emperor Li couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what Xi'er gave to father?"
Xie Xi, who was about to ask someone to bring up the gift, said: "..."
It's hard to say.
Although he will indeed send a gift to his father, there is no need for his father to rush him, right?
What's more, there are quite a few people in the palace now...
Seeing his father asking Xie Xi with a smile on his face, and hearing his father's intimate tone, the eldest prince almost got so angry that he ran away on the spot.
The smugness on the eldest prince's face just now disappeared completely in an instant. He stared at Xie Xi with a gloomy face.
Concubine Shu's face didn't look very good either.
But with Concubine Liang and Concubine De staring at her, and the emperor present, she reluctantly restrained herself a little.
The Queen was very happy. She joked, "It's rare that His Majesty is so anxious. Xi'er can't go without a gift."
Xie Xi: “…”
Xie Xi calmed down and said helplessly: "Father, Mother, I have already prepared it and was just about to have someone send it up."
After a pause, Xie Xi stood up and called out to the outside of the hall: "Bring in the gift."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Qing brought people in the box that was almost as tall as a person and placed it in the center of the hall.
Suddenly, there was another round of exclamations in the hall.
"What kind of gift is in there? Why does it need such a tall box?"
"Who knows? It's impossible that the Crown Prince also gave a hundred-year-old coral tree, right?"
"How is it possible!? Don't talk nonsense. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send the same gift as the First Prince?"
"..."
There were many people in the hall watching and wondering, even Emperor Li and the Queen were no exception.
Xie Xi suddenly came forward and did not ask anyone to open the box as tall as a person. He just bowed his head slightly and said in a gentle tone: "For my father's birthday this time, Concubine Xiao and Lu Liangyuan in my son's house have also prepared gifts..."
"Which gift would you like to see first?"
Emperor Li looked at him in surprise.
Meeting his father's gaze, Xie Xi suddenly chuckled: "There is a gift among them, and father will definitely like it very much. Why don't you guess it first?"
Emperor Li: ...?
How is it possible that someone has to guess before receiving a gift?
