Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

The crowd followed Emperor Dehui and walked towards the Longevity Palace, the momentum was very large.

At this time, the sun was already three poles high, but the scorching sun in summer seemed to have lost its momentum in this huge palace, instead of scorching heat, there was only brilliance left.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Chen can finally admire the majesty and grandeur of the royal buildings.

Stepping on the Beijing bricks and shuttling among the resplendent palaces with cornices and corners, he truly felt the shock and awe.

The source of the shock was not the emperor who walked in the front, but the Miyagi, which remained unchanged after the change of dynasties.

He suddenly understood why someone tried everything to become the master here.

Watching the changes in the world quietly, standing still, looking at the world with disdain, all living beings bow their heads and bow their heads.

……

"Longevity Palace arrived—"

The protracted voice of the palace guide made Bai Chen immediately withdraw his confused thoughts, and when he lowered his head, he saw Xiao Lin's hair reflecting a beautiful light brown luster in the sunlight.

The handsome side face was also plated with a soft golden halo.

The sun is so magical that even icebergs can add a bit of warmth to the illusion.

Everyone stopped.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the gate of the Longevity Palace.

Emperor Dehui straightened his clothes, greeted the voice of "Welcome to the Holy One" from the maids and guards, and stepped into the palace gate first.

The Longevity Palace was the empress dowager's bedroom in the previous dynasty. After Emperor Chongyuan seized the country, in order to make his mother live more comfortably, he ordered craftsmen to expand and repair it. After Emperor Dehui succeeded to the throne, he supplemented and improved it. Today's Wanshou Palace is more spacious, luxurious and comfortable.

At this moment, the queen mother is waiting for everyone in the main hall of the Longevity Palace.

Emperor Dehui took the lead, followed by King Kang, who led civil and military officials into the hall to celebrate his birthday.

The queen mother has a childlike face and a hale and hearty spirit. It can be seen that she was a beautiful and dignified woman when she was young.

She was sitting on the phoenix, but there seemed to be a trace of... boredom on her face.

Bai Chen suspected that he was wrong.

There were two young men standing in front of the Queen Mother. The one on the left was smiling, with a normal figure and appearance, wearing a yellow four-clawed dragon pattern suit, while the one on the right was tall and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was wearing purple Four-claw dragon suit.

One looks peaceful and generous, while the other is unruly and unruly, with such obvious characteristics-the prince and the fifth prince.

"I respectfully wish my mother a happy birthday, with blessings like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." Emperor Dehui knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Good boy." The Empress Dowager's voice was sweet and kind, which made people feel good immediately, "Get up quickly."

After him, the crown prince and the fifth prince knelt down to salute and celebrate his birthday.

Bai Chen is a little strange, most emperors have multiple heirs, apart from the crown prince and the fifth prince, how come there are no other princes?

After the emperor's family, it was King Kang's turn.

After the congratulatory salute, Bai Chen got up and stood aside, and watched the birthday celebration process of various honorable and powerful officials again.

Tired of not loving.

This is different from his previous life when he was doing missions. When he was squatting, he had faith and purpose in his heart. In order to catch the suspect, he could not eat or drink for two days and two nights.

And this kind of content is boring and repetitive, which is tiring.

Fortunately, the queen mother seems to be in good health, otherwise she might not be able to bear sitting for such a long time.

The only gratifying thing is that, after the last official celebrated his birthday, Bai Chen basically remembered the titles and official positions of these bigwigs.

He was relieved that it was finally over.

From the time I got off the carriage to the moment I stood up until now, I couldn't bear it even if I was not in good health—for example, He Wenguang looked a little weak now.

There are also some older officials whose complexions are not very good, and very few of them are already pale and sweaty on their foreheads.

He hadn't strided in vain for a month, so he was no longer a weakling.

And those female relatives who have received strict etiquette training also look normal, and sometimes the toughness of women far exceeds that of men.

The queen mother seemed to be relieved, "These cumbersome tricks have caused me a headache, my lord, don't do this next time, I am an old woman who can't stand it, and you adults will also suffer, everyone is happy to have a meal together on the birthday That's fine."

Emperor Dehui immediately apologized: "It's the child who was negligent, please forgive me, Queen Mother."

"You are also filial, how can I blame you." The Queen Mother said, "Let your lords enter the banquet hall to take your seats."

"Yes."

……

Can finally sit down.

The tables in the banquet hall have already been prepared.

The main seat is naturally the Empress Dowager, the next table is for Emperor Dehui and the Empress, and next to them are the seats for the Crown Prince, Crown Princess and Fifth Prince.

There are two tables on the left and right under the main seat, and they are still seated in order of rank.

King Kang and Princess Wang took the seats on the left, and behind them were the seats of Xiao Lin and the others.

Bai Chen didn't want to sit beside Xiao Chuan, so he pushed Xiao Lin's wheelchair to the middle, and he sat beside Xiao Lin.

Compared with fake tenderness, he would rather get along with the real iceberg.

The seat headed on the right is naturally Prime Minister Liu, and Liu Rufeng and his younger sister Liu Rushui are sitting behind him. Because of the obstruction of the line of sight, it is impossible to see their faces clearly from Bai Chen's side.

There are dishes, fruits and drinks on the table. In addition, there is a wooden sign with the number "eight" written on it. I don't know what it is for.

There are many rules in the palace. Even if you sit down, you can't eat right away. You have to start from the emperor and go door to door to offer birthday gifts to the queen mother to show your respect and love.

The empress dowager has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in her life. What precious and luxurious things have you never seen?

So everyone can only rack their brains to start with feelings and rarities, hoping to win the favor of their ancestors.

Many treasures were presented, such as the snow lotus that bloomed only 300 years ago in the Tianshan Mountains, the 500-year-old ginseng baby essence in the Changbai Mountains, and the waistcoat made of pearls made from the tears of the mermaids in the South China Sea... Hearing this, Bai Chen was taken aback for a while, thinking that these things exist in The thing in the legend is still true?

There are also quite a few people who play the card of sentimentality, using the soil from the Queen Mother's hometown to burn exquisite bone china utensils, remaking the lost snacks that the Queen Mother liked to eat when she was a child, and finding things that she liked when she was a girl...

The Empress Dowager is a woman who does not give way to her men. When she was young, she fought in all directions with Emperor Chongyuan. She never left her body with a long sword, which was later destroyed in the war.Someone also made a scaled-down long sword with good Hetian jade, which was white and shiny, exquisite and pocket-sized.

This gift was given by Ping Xihou.

It has to be said that Bai Zhanyuan turned his mind quite quickly in this regard.

However, the Empress Dowager was not very interested in rare gadgets or sentimental items, but she liked the picture of the East China Sea that Concubine Kang spent three months embroidering and a set of hand-padded silk knee pads and waist pads.

There is also a Buddhist scripture hand-copied by Luo Lanye, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the Queen Mother seems very satisfied.

No gift is as good as a piece of sincerity. The Queen Mother is a sensible person.

The gift-giving session is over, and the auspicious blessings that should be said have been said, and the banquet is finally over.

The exquisite porcelain cups were already filled with fine wine, and everyone rose to toast to wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday.

The Empress Dowager accepted the blessing with a smile, but she could only replace wine with tea—the imperial doctor said that the Empress Dowager had been feeling hot recently, so it was best not to drink alcohol.

"Don't be polite, everyone, eat and drink." The Queen Mother smiled, "You must be hungry after a whole morning of tossing around?"

What she said reached Bai Chen's heart, he is so hungry that he could eat a cow now.

But for banquets in the palace, eating is just a form, a medium, and the most important thing is political meaning-this represents the emperor's appreciation.

Everyone ate slowly, occasionally picking up a dish with chopsticks, and most of the time they were waiting for the emperor to ask questions or watching the singing and dancing in the hall, and they had to pretend to be intoxicated.

Bai Chen also noticed that the handsome fifth prince kept looking at Liu Rufeng's position intentionally or unintentionally, not even the beautiful dancers in Taichung could attract his attention.

He glanced curiously at Xiao Lin who was next to him, his eyes were indifferent, and he couldn't see any clues, while Xiao Chuan was watching the singing and dancing with a smile, as if he didn't see anything.

"Eat vegetables."

A piece of fish suddenly appeared in Bai Chen's bowl.

"……thanks."

Cough... Xiao Bingshan is reminding him that gossip should be low-key in the palace.

Bai Chen smiled, and ate the fish with dignity, but he didn't see that Xiao Chuan frowned slightly at this moment.

After several singing and dancing performances, Emperor Dehui suddenly said: "My dear friends, it's the Queen Mother's birthday. It's boring to just enjoy singing and dancing. What can you do to add to the fun?"

The highlight came, he threw down a brick, and what everyone was waiting for was the well-known jade.

Liu Xiang immediately cooperated and said: "We are all old and have little talent, how about letting the juniors replace us to cheer for the Queen Mother?"

"It's so good." Emperor Dehui stroked his beard, "But there are so many young people present, how to perform this talent, what can Liu Aiqing do?"

Liu Xiang bowed his head and cupped his hands, "The younger generations all have a wooden sign with a number on it. Once it reaches No. 20, the queen mother will say a number casually, and the representative of the called table will come forward and perform talents to add to the fun." , I don’t know if this is appropriate?”

Emperor Dehui turned his head and asked the Queen Mother, "How is it, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother naturally nodded with a smile on the things that had been discussed a long time ago.

Almost all civil and military officials heard the news, and those who wanted to marry their daughters into the palace also made preparations early, and there was a harmonious and friendly atmosphere on the scene.

Bai Chen felt that he could watch a big show again, but the sign on their table was just a decoration, no one could marry the Fifth Prince...

Emperor Dehui didn't talk nonsense, announced the start of the talent show, and asked the Queen Mother to say a number casually.

The Queen Mother thought for a while, "Then six."
