Fly the wrong branch and become a phoenix

On the birthday of the old empress of the dynasty, the whole world is amnesty, and the whole world celebrates it. Every household of the folks wears red and colorful, and the excitement is almost similar to that of the New Year's Day.

When the sun was rising, a large family of people went to Biyun Hall, led by His Majesty the Emperor, entered the house and kowtowed for birthday.

The old queen sitting in the upper position has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a peaceful smile, and a luxurious phoenix skirt, which sets off the grace and luxury of the old man, and her majesty is natural.

According to the rules of previous years, birthday worship in the morning is limited to the relatives of the old lady.At noon, I went to the front gate of the imperial city to accept birthday greetings from the common people.In the afternoon, it was time for civil and military officials to pay their respects to their birthdays.

And the birthday worship in the morning must come on an empty stomach, and eat breakfast at the old queen's place to show the old man's blessings to future generations.

When Gu Mengyu got up and walked to his seat, he took a sneak peek and met the eyes of the old lady. He blinked and showed a big smile.That silly appearance made the old queen laugh out loud.

"This child..." The old queen beckoned and called the nanny who was standing behind her, "Put the yaponzi in the ice mirror, and serve it to the princess after she has finished her meal."

"The queen mother spoils this child to the sky." Qin Jingran sat beside the old queen and said with a smile.

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "That elf's weird appearance makes people happy just looking at it."

The old queen mother has only one son, Qin Jingran, and two grandsons, one is Qin Musen and the other is Qin Yulin, and her great-grandson is only the one in Gu Dashao's stomach, so it is impossible to give these two mothers to the baby.

There are three granddaughters, but they are already married. Both the granddaughter and the grandson belong to someone else's family, so they can't compare to their own wealth.

The layout of the meal is different from the usual palace banquets. There are big round tables like ordinary people. In this situation, there is less rigor and more warmth, which is exactly the tone that the old lady likes.

Sitting next to Qin Yulin, Gu Mengyu rolled his eyes. There were six people at the table, except for Qin Musen and Qin Yulin, he didn't know anyone.The old lady didn't speak, so the people below naturally didn't dare to make noise, so everyone just smiled and nodded, and couldn't introduce anything.

When the food and wine were ready, the old queen raised her chin cheerfully: "Let's have dinner, don't be so restrained."

"Fukuzawa future generations!"

The etiquette officer gave a high-pitched chanting, and everyone in the room immediately held their wine glasses, toasted the birthday star from a distance, and then drank it all in a respectful gulp.

Gu Mengyu drew a gourd in the same way, smashed it and smashed his mouth, looking at the wine glass in his hand in surprise: "Honey water?"

"Yu Lin, isn't it too much?" The empty wine glass was stretched out in front of the man, Young Master Gu's face was full of accusations.

Since the wedding night, Gu Mengyu hasn't drunk a drop of alcohol. Although he is not an alcoholic, it feels good to have a little once in a while, but in view of the majesty of the crown prince, no one dares to give the crown prince a drink.This time, Gu Mengyu thought he could have a sip or two, but who knows that this is still the case, it is really a pity.

The smile on the face of His Highness the Crown Prince was like a spring breeze, as if he was a noble young man: "This is the arrangement of Grandma Huang, it has nothing to do with me. If Yu'er is dissatisfied, you can talk to Grandma Huang."

The two beautiful eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball, Gu Mengyu squinted at the man's jug, held up the wine glass, his pitiful appearance matched that of the little beggar, and said in a low voice: "Give me a little, will it work?" ?”

"No!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince replied very simply, with a firm tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

Young Master Gu turned into a doormat, puffing out his cheeks, turning his face away, looking at Qin Musen with eyes as clear as water, and there was a trace of grievance in his pure and impurity-free eyes, and the wine glass stretched out to Qin Yulin At this moment, he silently turned to Prince Qing, his pitiful appearance seemed to say, give me some, give me some...

Qin Musen's scalp tingled for a while, but this wine must not be given, otherwise, not to mention what will happen to his younger brother, Grandma Huang and the Queen Mother will definitely not spare him.With a gentle arc on the corners of his lips, His Royal Highness Qing said kindly: "Meng Yu, all of you here are relatives, come, let me introduce you."

I don't know what came to mind, Gu Mengyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the extended wine glass was quickly retracted, and she nodded obediently, her enchanting face was even more eye-catching because of the bright eyes.

Pointing to a middle-aged man with a rough, handsome and majestic face beside him, Qin Musen introduced: "This is the eldest sister's son-in-law, General Sun Shaojin of the Tiger Wing Army."

"The minister, Sun Shaojin, has seen Her Highness the Crown Princess." He raised his wine glass, and just as he was about to say something, Sun Shaojin suddenly saw the empty wine glass tightly clenched in the hands of the Crown Princess, and immediately put down the wine glass and clasped his hands together, "I wish Your Highness prosperity and prosperity."

Before the wine glass in his hand could be stretched out, this guy came here, which made Young Master Gu very aggrieved, but the etiquette cannot be broken, so he could only smile and say: "Sun Concubine, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"This is the second imperial sister's son-in-law, Heqi prefect Zheng Xiangyun."

Zheng Xiangyun, who was full of elegance, smiled and clasped his fists: "I have seen Your Royal Highness, Zheng Xiangyun, I wish your Highness prosperity and peace."

"This is Lu Chunyu, the son-in-law of the fifth emperor's younger sister, who is currently the Minister of the Ministry of War." Qin Musen pointed to the handsome and noble Lu Chunyu with a smile.

Lu Chunyu and Gu Mengyu knew that his daughter-in-law, the fourth princess, and Qin Yulin were brothers and sisters of the same father, mother, and first milk.And Lu Chunyu himself was once the prince's companion, and the two grew up together, so the relationship is naturally very good.

"I wish the emperor's brother and sister-in-law a happy marriage for a hundred years." Lu Chunyu raised his glass with a smile, and without waiting for Young Master Gu's cup to come over, he drank it in one gulp, raised his eyebrows, and looked at His Highness the Crown Prince jokingly.

The prince casually glanced at the younger sister at the other table, and gently raised his thin lips, but there was a hint of a half-smile: "Chunyu is as bold as ever, why don't you have a good drink at night? "

Lu Chunyu "hehe" laughed a few times, but stopped talking.

"You don't need to be late, let's do it now." Young Master Gu raised his empty wine glass again, but this time the target is Lu Chunyu's servant, with a beautiful face and a coquettish smile, phoenix eyes, and watery water, which is extraordinarily moving Heart and soul, "It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, right now!"

"Come on, come on, come on, fill it up, fill it up!" The empty wine glass shook at Lu Chunyu, Young Master Gu smiled like a flower, and urged him repeatedly.

"Emperor's sister-in-law can't drink too much." Lu Chunyu couldn't help the clear and pitiful eyes, she stretched out her hand, and as soon as she put on the flagon, she was fixed by two sharp eyes.

One is from His Royal Highness, the childhood playmate on the opposite side, and one is even more powerful, from the superior Lafayette, the birthday queen!

"Hey..." Lu Chunyu sneered and withdrew his hands under the eyes of the princess, "Damn me, I forgot that the emperor's wife is pregnant, so naturally I can't drink..."

Startled, Gu Mengyu remembered the piece of meat in his stomach, quickly put down his wine glass, dismissed the idea of ​​drinking, subconsciously touched his stomach, secretly thinking that it was dangerous.

This look of lingering fear naturally fell into the eyes of the crown prince, and he immediately understood that his mother had forgotten about his baby!With a warm smile, he picked up food for the little thing, and whispered in his ear: "Baby forgot my little baby again, do you think it should be punished?"

The corners of his lips twitched, and Young Master Gu squinted his eyes: "As soon as you have an excuse, you want to punish me, and there is no way."

"Whether to be punished or not is not up to Yu'er." The crown prince whispered coolly, and at the same time he did not forget to chat and laugh with the consorts at the same table.

Gu Mengyu felt very aggrieved, and went to compete with the food.

The main hall is surrounded by ice bricks, so although there are a lot of people, the temperature is cool and pleasant.The sound of silk and bamboo is faint, like a clear spring flowing, and laughter and laughter resound from every table from time to time, which is very warm and lively.

Just when Gu Mengyu happily drank the last sip of Yapengzi, the breakfast was coming to an end.All the concubines, princess concubines, and princes began to send congratulatory gifts.

The late emperor had many heirs. Ever since he fell in love with the old empress at first sight, Ruo Shui only took one gourd for three thousand, and never had sex with other concubines, so he only added a son, Qin Jingran, and he has nothing to do with him since.

This time the old queen's birthday, these princes and grandchildren naturally all came, so there are not many descendants of the old queen's line, but there are indeed a lot of people congratulating them.

Qin Musen's congratulatory gift is a pair of rare Yunhua birds. This bird's song is melodious and melodious, as if singing, and its feathers are extremely gorgeous, which is pleasing to the eye.The old lady liked it very much, waved her hand, and rewarded it!

The congratulatory gift that Qin Yulin took out was a long box about one and a half feet long, and the body of the box was just ordinary fragrant wood.Holding the fragrant wooden box, he walked up to the Empress Dowager, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Grandson wishes Grandma the Queen a long life and good health."

The old queen looked at Aisun with a smile, and said: "Let grandma see what treasures are in the box. If grandma is satisfied, there will be a reward."

"This reward, my grandson has decided." Qin Yulin showed a smile like a spring breeze, elegant and dignified, and slowly opened the fragrant wooden box.

Inside the opened wooden box, lay a long whip with a broken tip. It was made of unknown material. It was red all over, as if it contained flames. I know it's not ordinary.

The old queen stood up abruptly, with excitement in her eyes: "Bring it here, let grandma see..."

Presenting the fragrant wooden box, Qin Yulin smiled and stood aside.Gu Mengyu elbowed the abducted prince, and asked in a low voice, "What's the name of this whip?"

"Grandpa Huang's gift to Grandma Huang has been lost for many years. I heard the news last year, and I investigated Bokang for more than half a year, and I only got it back recently." Resolving his little lover's confusion in a low voice, Qin Yulin found out that his father and mother were empress. They all cast appreciative glances at him, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
