wind blowing wind

It's a pity that there are many delicacies from mountains and seas. "

The corner of Zuoqiu Yu's mouth twitched, and he said: "It's nothing serious, it's okay to eat less when you are free."

Gu Xi thought it was funny, and continued: "Tonight is His Majesty's birthday, what if the third prince lacks appetite?"

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Yu clenched his fists tightly, wishing to greet Gu Xi's face, but Ye Zuochen who was at the side spoke just in time: "The Third Highness has taken the medicine not long ago, I must still have an appetite tonight."

This morning Zuoqiu Yu stayed behind closed doors as soon as he returned to the mansion. He was afraid that others would find out about this embarrassing thing, so he lied and said that he had spoiled the food when he went out, and he did not dare to tell Ye Zuochen. Now he is actually seen by Gu Xi When he came out, he felt even more angry.

"So, if the Third Prince needs any supplements, he can tell Ben Hou, don't be polite." Gu Xi smiled kindly.

"Thank you so much, Lord Hou." Zuo Qiuyu secretly hated him.

Gu Xi's smile became brighter, and he continued: "The third prince, can I have the honor to enter the palace with Benhou?"

"excellent."

"Please." Gu Xi raised his hand and tilted his head with a smile, so charming.

"Please."

The two marched hand in hand, their aura entering Changling like a rainbow.Now the sun is about to culminate, if it is night, Changling Street will start the most beautiful night market scene.

"At night, the street is full of lanterns, and it's very lively." Gu Xi said with a smile, looking at the busy people with joy on their faces.

"That's right, the royal father has to carefully arrange every birthday." Zuoqiu Yu seemed to recall the old days.

"Your Majesty has always strived for perfection in everything he does. I believe tonight's banquet will be unforgettable."

"What Hou Ye said is very true." Zuo Qiuyu's lips curled up slightly. In fact, he has attended Zuo Qiujie's birthday every year since he was a child, and he is already very proficient in every set.I am already tired of watching those singing and dancing, chanting scriptures and celebrating birthdays, but I still have to attend to show my filial piety.

"The Marquis is looking forward to the gift from the third prince." Gu Xi mentioned with a smile.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, this hall will definitely not disappoint Father." When it comes to gifts, Zuo Qiuyu is full of confidence.

The two chatted happily along the way, and they entered the palace without knowing it, and the magnificent scene in the palace was extremely dazzling and dizzying.

In Yasukuni, the emperor's birthday is called Wanling Festival, which is a day for the whole country to celebrate.It starts with the emperor's sacrifice to heaven in the morning, and the officials only need to arrive after lunch.After lunch, they gathered in the Mihong Hall. The princes offered gifts and birthday celebrations, enjoyed the scenery and played music, drank and wrote a poem, and enjoyed the wine with the wind.In the evening, it is to watch songs and dances, celebrate the birthday of foreign envoys, appreciate the lanterns in the palace, and eat some night food.

Gu Xi saw a subtle change in Zuo Qiuyu's expression after entering the palace, and said, "It seems that the third prince rarely enters the palace recently?"

"It's not like the fifth younger brother who stays with the emperor every day. Since there is a mansion outside the palace, the palace rarely enters the palace."

"After all, the third prince has a family, so he must live in the mansion forever." Gu Xi did not forget to tease.

"What Hou Ye said is very true." Zuo Qiuyu felt that he could not stay with this person for a moment longer, and if he continued like this, he might go crazy. 2.

Fortunately, the two parted ways shortly after entering the palace. As the prince, Zuoqiu Yu had to go to the special Fengsheng Pavilion to wait with the other royal families, while Gu Xi went to the waiting place where all the officials were waiting.

This palace is like a muddy water, once you step into it, you will be lost forever.

Today's Mihong Temple is really charming, and it lives up to expectations. The courtyard is full of dazzling bright red, and the autumn scenery is magnificent, which is amazing.

All the officials went to His Highness together, made 33 solemn bows to the emperor, princes and princesses, and then held cups to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and then the emperor gave soup and tea to all the officials, and then they all took their seats.

Due to the special arrangement, Gu Xi's seat was the closest to the front of the stage, and also the closest to the emperor - it was also a coincidence that he was sitting next to Zuo Qiuyan.Both of them were tacit understanding, although they didn't look at each other at all, they already knew each other.

The other ministers and officials are divided into two sides. Due to the etiquette, they cannot adopt a stepped seat, so the ministers in the back can only look at the wonderful program in front of them.

As today's protagonist, Zuo Qiujie was naturally well-dressed to attend. He wore a dragon robe with more unique decorations. Instead of the previous loose cut style, he wore a black belt to show his slightly thin figure.On the dragon robe is auspicious dark pattern of dragon and phoenix, covered with a layer of loose and mist-like golden robe, which contrasts with the tight dragon robe inside, adding a bit of elegance and agility.

There are three seats on both sides of the emperor. On the left are the third prince Zuo Qiuyu, the fifth prince Zuo Qiuyan, and the seventh prince Zuo Qiuyan. On the right are the second princess Zuo Qiu Ziyi, the fourth prince Zuo Qiuyi, and the sixth princess Zuo Qiuyan. Qiu Ziwei.

Today's princes are all in good spirits and radiant, and they seem to have come to this birthday banquet with sincere blessings.

After the red tape such as toasting and saluting is over, it is the gift of the princes.All the ministers stretched their necks, wanting to see what the princes wanted.

Zuo Qiuyu was the first to step forward, and he saw that he confidently asked his attendants to carry the congratulatory gift—it was a magnificent sandalwood screen with exquisite wood carvings on the edge, depicting two dragons playing with pearls, and on the screen paper Carved with beautiful maple leaf scenes, set against the majestic palace, and the patterns of people drinking and composing poems, a closer look is actually a portrayal of Mihong Palace, lifelike, and there is a poem next to it: Fengxiang Wan Huajing, Jindian Fan red shadow.That word is arrogant and unruly, and it can be seen at a glance that it was written by Zuo Qiuyu himself.

"Today, my father specially held a birthday banquet in the Mihong Palace. This screen was specially made for this purpose. I hope that my father will see this thing again in a hundred years, and I can still think of today's precious memories."

Gu Xi laughed to himself, and even said what was said a hundred years later, it was too obvious that his mouth was wrong.

However, this object is extremely exquisite after all, and it can be regarded as a peerless treasure in the eyes of experts, and the ministers were already envious at the first sight.Zuo Qiujie's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he said with a smile, "Yu'er's gift is unique, I am very satisfied."

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Yu was also overjoyed, he hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Zuoqiu Jie and said, "Thank you, Father!" Then he returned to his seat happily.

Seeing this, Jia Xiao was also very relieved, thinking that this son-in-law is quite capable, but seeing that impetuous appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.And Ye Zuochen covered his face with a fan in an unknown corner, sighing.

Seeing Zuo Qiuyu's move, Zuo Qiuyi secretly sneered, then turned to Zuo Qiu Jie with a slight smile, and ordered the attendants to bring the congratulatory gifts in an orderly manner.

When everyone saw this bonsai, they couldn't help but leaned forward. After seeing it, they couldn't help but praise it—it looked like a bright golden orchid, with slender and beautiful petals blooming on the two separate buds. What's amazing is that there are dark lines on the petals that look like dragon scales. From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon flying on the green auspicious clouds. The golden color and the green leaves complement each other. It can be seen that this is definitely a rare flower species in the world.After a while, everyone smelled a delicate fragrance, which seemed to carry the salty and humid sea breeze, making people daydream.

"This flower is called Longwanglan." Zuoqiu Yi's gentle voice sounded, "It can only grow on the coast of the East China Sea. There are very few left in the world. Erchen and Ci'en went to the East China Sea a month ago to find this rare beauty. Transplant it to the imperial capital, cultivate it with care, and present this gift to the emperor, hope that the emperor is like this longwanglan, unparalleled in the world, the emperor's grace is vast, and the common people in the world can also have the honor to experience the gift of the father today."

This congratulatory gift seemed to be more skillful and far-reaching than the third prince's. The comparison was immediately apparent, and Zuoqiu Yu couldn't help feeling angry, and he looked at Zuoqiu Yi with ruthless eyes.And Zuoqiu Yi still didn't change his face, looking sincerely at Zuoqiu Jie on the dragon chair.

Zuoqiujie looked at the beautiful Long Wanglan and said sincerely: "Yi'er has loved playing with flowers and plants since she was a child, and now she seems to be a master in the field! I am very happy to receive this gift."

"Thank you, father." Zuo Qiuyi also knelt down to salute, his movements were graceful and smooth.

Liu Chang, among the ministers, showed a smug smile, and Guo Yuan and Qi even met their eyes, knowing it well.Even Gu Xi was quite emotional about this in his heart, it seemed that Zuo Qiuyu would lose to Zuo Qiuyi whose strength was still unpredictable after all.

Finally, when the fifth prince Zuoqiu came to present the gift, the officials were even more concerned about it. The fifth prince has always been favored by the emperor, and his gift must be different from other princes, so everyone present held their breaths and stared.And Gu Xi, who has a very clear relationship between father and son, is even more interested. He can't help but glance at Zuo Qiujie who is sitting on the dragon chair. There was a flash of tension and anticipation.

Zuoqiu Yang got up from his seat, walked to the center of the courtyard, took a scroll from the attendant who came up, and then turned around and smiled at Zuoqiujie.

Seeing this smile, Zuo Qiujie suddenly became a little nervous, his hands hidden in his wide sleeves clenched tightly, and the corners of his lips curled subconsciously.

I saw Zuoqiu Yang holding the scroll in the palms of both hands, and said seriously: "I know that my gift may not be as noble as my brothers and sisters, but the purpose of giving the gift is to send my heart, I hope the emperor will like it." Slowly unfold the entire scroll and present it completely in front of everyone.

The scroll was slowly unrolled, and the whole picture was completely revealed in the eyes of everyone. Everyone present secretly gasped and held their breath.

This gift is simply indescribable in words.On the plain white paper is a figure, holding a scroll in one hand and leaning on the railing with the other, dressed in a dragon robe, unparalleled in luxury, with slightly curly blue silk, which seems to be slightly lifted in the breeze, captivating people's hearts.This person stood facing the high platform, against the background of the blue sky and auspicious clouds, it was so high and vast.This person is just looking back and smiling,
