Oiran son

Chapter 199 Congratulations

On Emperor Jing's 50th birthday, when people speculated that this year's birthday banquet would not be held as usual, news came from the palace that the birthday banquet would be held as usual, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were invited to attend with their families.

When they came to the imperial garden, many people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Emperor Jing, who looked haggard but not as long as the rumors said.

Although Emperor Jing was not considered a wise emperor, he was not harsh on the ministers in the court, and the more he lived, the more stable the situation in the court would be.

However, when it was found that the grounded prince was also there, and was arranged to sit next to Emperor Jing, sitting side by side with the second prince, everyone's expressions became a little subtle.

Everyone thought that the crown prince had been grounded, his party members had been wiped out, and Emperor Jing had entrusted the government to the second prince, and the crown prince's resignation was a matter of finality.

Now the prince was released and sat side by side with the second prince, talking to Emperor Jing from time to time.Everyone couldn't help muttering in their hearts, some didn't understand what drama Jingdi was singing.

"Father, today is your 50th birthday, and I don't have any valuable gifts for you, only this picture of longevity to show my heart."

The crown prince clapped his hands, and an eunuch offered a painting of rolled sleeves with both hands. Emperor Jing nodded, and the eunuch standing behind him took the painting of rolled sleeves, walked to the case, and showed the painting to Emperor Jing.

"This is what I personally wrote for my father during the period of my confinement, and I pray for my father's long life. It's just that the words I wrote are still less than one-tenth of my father's. It's a shame."

Emperor Jing didn't have much merit in political affairs, but he wrote good calligraphy. Even famous calligraphers and painters praised Emperor Jing's calligraphy.

Looking at the tens of thousands of longevity characters on the painting, Emperor Jing had a smile on his face, and said softly: "Ye'er has a heart, I can see that you put a lot of thought into writing this character, I like it very much."

Hearing Emperor Jing's words, the prince's face instantly lit up, while Zhu Xu's expression on the side remained unchanged, but his eyes were slightly gloomy when he glanced at the prince.

After the eunuch put away the Longevity Picture, Zhu Xu said to Emperor Jing: "My son also prepared a gift, I hope the emperor will accept it with a smile."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the two guards carried an object covered with a red cloth and walked towards them.

Everyone's eyes were attracted, and they were all guessing what was under the red cloth.Some guessed that this gift must be a rare treasure, while others guessed that it might be a panacea. After all, for Emperor Jing now, nothing is more important than keeping him healthy.

"Do you know what it is?" Listening to the discussions of colleagues around, Ouyang Xiujie asked his son sitting beside him curiously.

Ouyang Chen glanced at his father, he naturally understood that his father would ask him, and he just wanted to take the opportunity to reconcile with him.

Ever since Ouyang Xiujie drove away Luo Yun that day, although the father and son hadn't turned their heads, they still ignored each other when they saw each other. Well, it was Ouyang Chen who turned around and left as soon as he saw Ouyang Xiujie, unwilling to pay attention to each other Otherwise, he didn't know what hurtful words he would say.

Ouyang Xiujie is also a person with self-respect. Seeing his son make a face for him, he will naturally not stick his face to his ass.So, these days, even though the two lived under the same roof, they just didn't say a few words, treating each other as if they were transparent.

Now, seeing that his father was willing to put down his body and want to reconcile with him, even though he still felt a little unhappy, Ouyang Chen didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he replied.

"I don't know either." After thinking for a while, he added, "Recently, I haven't had much contact with the second prince, so I don't know what gift he will send to the Holy One."

Ouyang Xiujie looked at Ouyang Chen meaningfully, wanted to ask something, but realized that this is not a suitable place for questioning, so he put his doubts back in his stomach.

While the two were talking, the guard had already placed the mysterious gift a few meters away from Emperor Jing. Under Zhu Xu's signal, the two of them lifted the red cloth from left to right to reveal what was underneath.

First of all, what caught everyone's eyes was an iron cage more than two meters high, and then there was a mighty roar of the tiger, and everyone saw clearly that it was a white tiger.

"It's a white tiger!"

"It's the auspicious beast!"

According to legend, the white tiger is one of the five auspicious beasts of the Xia Kingdom, but few people have seen the white tiger for so many years. Therefore, when they suddenly saw the white tiger appearing in front of them, everyone was very excited and shouted good things like auspiciousness.

"Xu'er, how did you get this white tiger?" Emperor Jing was as excited as the others when he suddenly saw the white tiger, especially when he thought that this white tiger would belong to him, he was even more delighted.

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Actually, this white tiger was given to you, father, by my hand from heaven."

Emperor Jing's eyes lit up, "How to say?"

Zhu Xu didn't hold back any more, and explained the process of how to get the white tiger vividly.

"Originally, the birthday gift I planned to give to my father was something else, but a few days ago, that gift was stolen. Just when I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do, this white tiger unexpectedly appeared on my way back home .

As soon as I saw it, I knew that the theft of the congratulatory gift was arranged by the heavens, because it wanted to take my hand and give this auspicious beast to my father, so as to bless my father with a long life Under the rule of the father, the country became rich and the people strong. "

"What a rich country and strong people!" Emperor Jing stroked his beard in satisfaction, and looked at the white tiger with firm eyes.

After becoming the king of a country at the age of 35, it is not that he has tried his best to govern the country over the years, and the country has also prospered.It's a pity that the good times don't last long, especially in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, which have left the treasury empty and the people in dire straits. He is not without melancholy.

It's just hard to get back. The roots of the big tree of the country are already rotten. In addition, his physical condition is getting worse day by day, and he has no energy to change the status quo. He can only watch the whole country decline.

Now seeing the auspicious beast in front of him, Emperor Jing suddenly felt full of energy, thinking that this must be the heaven favoring him again.He believed that as long as he had this white tiger, everything would be better, whether it was him or Xia Guo.

"Xu'er, you did a great job, this is the most satisfying gift I have ever received, God bless Xia Guo!"

As soon as Emperor Jing's words fell, everyone immediately shouted, "God bless Xia Guo!"

Zhu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and cast his hostile eyes on Zhu Xu, who looked at him without showing any weakness, and immediately looked away, following the crowd and shouting long live as if nothing happened.

Taking a panoramic view of the scene of the two of them, the corners of Ouyang Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of discernment flashed in his eyes.

After that, Emperor Jing accepted the congratulatory gifts from other sons and daughters, but none of the congratulatory gifts they gave was as appreciated by Emperor Jing as he was to the prince and Zhu Xu.

Although Emperor Jing was in good spirits today, his face showed fatigue after a while. Under the persuasion of the eunuch, after drinking a glass of wine with everyone, Emperor Jing got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing Emperor Jing leave like this, and the expected return to the court did not happen, Zhu Chen was very irritable, especially when he met Zhu Xu's gloating eyes, he almost couldn't hold back and rushed over to beat him hard a meal.
