May [-]th was the emperor's birthday, and the palace was busy a few days earlier, and by the time of the birthday, all preparations had already been made.

Fifty is a full birthday, and many envoys from other countries came to congratulate him, so there must be a big event in the palace.The emperor held another banquet in the Xuande Hall, and asked the princes and grandchildren to have the banquet with the important ministers and envoys. He planned to have a good time and show his greatness.

Ever since the news of envoys coming to Beijing to congratulate them, the worries of the kings due to birthday gifts have subsided a lot—in front of foreign envoys, the emperor will no longer feel that the birthday gifts prepared by his sons and daughters are too extravagant , not to mention fifty full life should be valued.So the kings no longer cared about the birthday gifts of the crown prince and Qi Yang. Recently, each of them showed their magical powers, and they were all collecting good things.

When it came to the Longevity Day, the kings were already full of ambitions, thinking that the birthday gifts they had prepared would surely overwhelm all the brothers and show their faces in front of courtiers and foreign envoys.

Qi Yang felt it was funny, and shook his head with Lu Qipei and said: "Father is a monarch, sitting on the world, what good things have you never seen, and what you want can't be obtained? However, my imperial brothers, one or two are really frugal fathers." , have never seen anything good."

Lu Qipei also laughed, but didn't say anything.It's one thing for the emperor to like it, but in front of foreign envoys, it actually has something to do with whether the birthday gift received is valuable or not.There is nothing wrong with the Bodhisattva Qi Yang sent, and her filial piety is commendable, but if all the kings were like her, giving some thoughtful but worthless things, outsiders might think that the Liang country was embarrassed, and even the emperor's birthday gift was perfunctory.

The two rode in a carriage, carrying birthday gifts, chatting and laughing, and went to the palace for a banquet.

The carriage was stopped by Habayashi outside the gate of the palace, and the coachman handed over a token to show his identity, and at the moment of this pause, there was a commotion outside the carriage.Qi Yang lifted the curtain of the car to look, but saw someone entangled with Yulin outside the palace gate.

The forbidden army Yulin, who guards the imperial city, dares to entangle with Yulin at the gate of the palace, Qi Yang has never seen such a big man.She has never seen Yubayashi so good-natured, he has been entangled with people for a long time, but he didn't draw his sword, but just blocked people from the palace gate.

Out of curiosity, Qi Yang took a second look at the entanglement.Only after looking at it did he realize that the person who was blocked outside the palace gate and entangled with Yu Lin was none other than the former King of Chu who had just been deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner a month ago!

Lu Qipei saw her open the curtain of the car and kept looking out, so he also leaned over and asked, "What's the matter, what are you looking at?"

Qi Yang turned sideways to let her look outside, and at the same time replied: "It's the fifth emperor brother, he seems to have prepared a birthday gift, and wants to enter the palace to present it to the father emperor. But now he has a different status, he has neither a knighthood nor a summons, Habayashi stopped him from entering."

The purpose of the fifth prince's birthday gift at this time is obvious, but to please the emperor.If you are lucky, you can take the opportunity to regain the title, but if you are not lucky, at least the emperor will not forget that he still has this son.

He is also unlucky.After leaving the palace to build a mansion for many years, although his mother and concubine are in the palace, they are not of high status and can't get in touch with him, so they can't help with the birthday ceremony.After Nanping completely lost power, he also cut off contact with him, and the dignified prince was unable to send out the birthday gift he had prepared.He had no choice but to come to the palace gate to try his luck today, and of course he was stopped by Yubayashi outside the palace gate, and the identity of the prince was useless.

Qi Yang looked at the distressed appearance of the fifth prince, and felt a little bit embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said to Yulin outside the car: "It's not a problem for the fifth prince to block the palace gate. If the envoys from other countries see it, they must see it." A joke. You tell him to let him keep the birthday gift, and then kowtow to the emperor outside the palace gate to celebrate his birthday and then go back."

When Yubayashi got the words, he was also relieved, looked at the commander's expression again, and went to talk to the fifth prince.

The Fifth Prince was stunned after hearing this, and when he turned his head to look at Qi Yang's carriage, his gaze was very delicate.But the situation is stronger than others, he will not lose sight of his situation even if he falls into the dust, and after looking away, he really handed over the birthday gift, then lifted his robe and kowtowed three times in the direction of the Xuanshi Hall.

Qi Yang didn't care what the current fifth prince thought of her, and when the situation subsided, he also lowered the car curtain.

Yubayashi had already checked his identity and saw the princess consort with his own eyes, so he let him go, and the coachman continued to drive into the palace gate.

It was still early for Qi Yang and Lu Qipei to enter the palace. After entering the palace, they first went to Xuanshi Hall to celebrate the emperor's birthday.It's just that the two of them went early, and others would go earlier than them. The Xuanshi Hall, which is usually majestic, was also a bit lively today by the arrival of the princes and daughters.

Of course, it was not the princes and daughters who really brought out the excitement, but the grandsons they brought into the palace together—the grandsons are still young, and today is not a family banquet, so most of the grandchildren are not allowed to have a banquet with each other. The princess and the princess took their children early, and came to pay respects to the emperor for his birthday.Only Qi Yang and Lu Qipei's knees were empty, and they couldn't think of this for a while.

After entering Xuanshi Hall, the two looked up and saw Douding, big and small, standing halfway across the room.As old as the eldest grandson, he is now a teenager in his teens, but the younger grandsons and even those who are still in their infancy have also been brought here.

There are too many children, even if the rules are taught on weekdays, they are a little noisy.

The emperor looked very happy at the children in this room. When he saw Qi Yang and Lu Qipei coming, he sighed with Qi Yang: "I still remember how you brothers and sisters were when you were young, but now you are all parents. It's only you, This year, I’m still coming with my son-in-law.”

While speaking, he glanced at Lu Qipei, as if he was quite dissatisfied with her thin body.

Lu Qipei lowered his head, not daring to say anything, but Qi Yang tugged at the emperor's sleeve and said with a smile: "Isn't father enough to have so many grandchildren? I haven't reached my destiny with my son-in-law, so I can't be in a hurry." As she spoke , carried a little baby to the emperor, and said to the emperor: "Father, look, your grandchildren are so cute, they are all waiting for you to care and love them."

The little emperor's grandson was quite winking, and obediently called "Grandfather", and hurriedly said the congratulatory message given by his parents before entering the palace.He was still young, and he spoke in a childish voice, but still had a straight face and a serious look, which made the emperor couldn't help laughing.

Qi Yang thought he had passed the test, but the emperor turned his head and said, "In two days, I will send the imperial doctor to your residence."

Hearing this, Qi Yang's head suddenly grew dizzy, and he sneaked a glance at Lu Qipei, only to see her shake her head slightly to express her peace of mind.

The small gathering before the palace banquet was fairly peaceful, except that the emperor's grandsons fought for favor in front of the emperor, nothing unpleasant happened.Even those infants who were still in their infancy never cried, perhaps because of the influence of the atmosphere.

The emperor enjoyed a lot of family happiness, and time gradually moved towards the palace banquet.

The kings and princesses watched the time and didn't dare to disturb the emperor's business, so they took their children and left when they saw that it was about time.The kings and princesses were going to the Xuande Hall for the banquet, but the grandchildren were not in a hurry to send them out of the palace, they were sent directly to the harem to meet their grandmother.

Lu Qipei and Qi Yang saved a lot of trouble, they had neither children nor Qi Yang had a mother or concubine.After coming out of the Xuanshi Hall, the two left the rest of the people behind and walked towards the Xuande Hall first.

After only taking two steps, he was stopped by someone, and it was the prince who caught up half a step later.

The weather has been warm recently, and the prince's face has looked better. After catching up, he smiled and said, "You two are walking very fast."

Qi Yang took Lu Qipei's arm and said with a smile: "I'm not burdened by the son-in-law, so we can walk fast." After speaking, he looked back and saw that the kings and princesses were still arranging for their children, so he said: "But it's still the emperor's Brother, take it easy, Aqi can control his siblings now, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."

The prince smiled when he heard the words, and he didn't care too much about the elder grandson.He turned to look at Qi Yang and Lu Qipei, and said the same words as the emperor: "The imperial sister is now old, and she should have children by her side, you two should take care of her."

Qi Yang and Lu Qipei looked at each other helplessly.

Suddenly, the prince reached out and patted Lu Qipei on the shoulder.He frowned slightly, squeezed Lu Qipei's shoulder, and said strangely: "The son-in-law has reached the crown now, right? Why are you still so thin?"

Seeing this, Qi Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull the prince's hand down: "Brother, don't pinch, you have been on the battlefield, and your hand strength is not weak. My family A Pei is a literati, and you also said that she was born thin, If you pinch it, you can't pay me!"

Being pestered by Qi Yang's nonsense, the little doubt that had just arisen in the prince's heart was instantly dispelled.Of course he knew Qi Yang's temperament, and he was not usually caring about the son-in-law, and it was rare to be infatuated for several years.Therefore, he never doubted Qi Yang's actions and words just now, he just smiled helplessly: "The imperial sister is really protecting her weaknesses more and more now."

Qi Yang took Lu Qipei's arm again, separated her from the crown prince, and walked in the middle: "What the emperor said is true."

She admitted it frankly and generously, and the prince could only laugh.However, being married for three years can still guarantee the original intention, which originally proved the love between the two husbands and wives, and Lu Qipei treated Qi Yang well.As the elder brother, the prince is undoubtedly satisfied.

The three of them walked on the official road, and it was not easy to talk about important government affairs, so they only chatted about irrelevant gossip.

Qi Yang thought of something, and suddenly asked: "The two famous doctors recommended to Brother Huang a few days ago, have you seen Brother Huang? How is their diagnosis? How can it help Brother Huang to recuperate the body?"

The prince walked with his hands behind his back, his figure was upright and not slow, if he hadn't been much thinner than three years ago, he wouldn't be able to see his weakness and decline.He smiled when he heard Qi Yang's question, and replied: "I have seen it, the medical skills of the two are indeed unique, after discussing with the imperial doctor, all the prescriptions I usually use have also been adjusted." Looking at Qi Yang: "Does the doctor need to pay you back now?"

Qi Yang was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that the prince's words agreed with what the emperor had said before, feeling bored, he pulled Lu Qipei and left: "No need. Keep those two doctors and brothers, I came here specially for you. "Na Pei and I are not available!

The unfinished words are afraid that the prince will be suspicious, but why can't the prince hear it?

What's more, the words were not uttered, but Qi Yang pulled the son-in-law and walked quickly, leaving the prince to look at the back of the two, and laughed again.After laughing, he still kept his unhurried appearance, and walked slowly towards Xuande Hall.
