Chapter 183: Birthday Brief

"Sister, we will be a family in the future. You have to go to the birthday party of the father in a while." Shen Yihan specially invited Yunguan to the palace to attend the birthday party of the emperor.

Duanmu family and the royal family will definitely become in-laws, so Shen Yihan's father will definitely be Yunguan's father in the future.

"Well, Sister Xie Han's invitation, will Brother Jing and Sister go with you?" Yunguan didn't want to be sandwiched between Shen Yihan and Murong Jingyu. If they went together, Yunguan would want to take a car alone.

"Your brother Jing should have entered the palace directly after the meeting of the Zongcha Mansion. He was in a hurry to leave in the morning, so I didn't have time to ask him." Shen Yihan didn't know why Yunguan asked Murong Jingyu about his movements.

"Okay, that sister will wash and dress up and go with her sister." Yunguan likes to get along with Shen Yihan alone. With Murong Jingyu on the side, she will feel uncomfortable.

"My sister is naturally beautiful and she is already very beautiful without dressing up." Shen Yihan looked at Yunguan's peach face and almond eyes, feeling indescribable. She was envious and a little bit of jealousy, perhaps because the person in front of her was more youthful and energetic.

After all, young women are the most advantageous bargaining chips, and once they get older, they will admit defeat first.

"Sister Han is so beautiful, don't joke with me anymore." Yunguan shook her head shyly. She didn't understand why Shen Yihan suddenly praised her, making her unable to respond.

"No, my sister is actually joking. Let's see you later." Shen Yihan smiled awkwardly. She always thought that beautifying the country was a very illusory adjective.

"Okay." Yunwan not only wanted to dress up, but she also wanted to find a timely birthday gift, especially for the emperor, which was not careless.

Today is February 17th. Shen Yixiang's fifty-fifth birthday means that the 95th Lord has passed half of his life. If he is lucky enough to live to the age of 99, it means that the emperor will return to the unity of 99 and become auspicious heavenly life, and he will definitely accumulate thousands of years of virtue and blessings for future princes and grandchildren.

At this time, Tongguang Platform was very lively. Everyone gathered together to celebrate the emperor's birthday, which was more festive than the New Year's Eve banquet on the Spring Festival. The last time he celebrated Shen Yixiang's birthday was five years ago, which happened to be twenty years since he ascended the throne. A grand birthday celebration was held to commemorate, and today's birthday banquet was even more grand.

"The auspicious time has come. I respectfully invite the emperor to worship the gods of heaven and earth." Eunuch Su devoutly handed over with a golden plate. On the golden plate were two gin wine glasses containing 25-year-old wines.

"May the gods of heaven and earth bless my people, be blessed with longevity and happiness~" Shen Yixiang picked up two golden cups, raised his head and drank it all, and fell into the golden plate in front of him for worship.

"This is a birthday gift from envoys from various countries. Please check it out." Eunuch Su respectfully handed over a few bamboo slips, which recorded in detail who gave the emperor what gifts he gave to the emperor's birthday and what gifts he was going to use to return the gifts he was going to.

"Dear Kings, envoys, are working hard and working very hard. I remember this kindness in my heart. I wish our dynasty and all countries peace and prosperity for a hundred years." In the past few days, Shen Yixiang has been busy meeting envoys from various countries, asking about the situation of the vassal kings and vassal states, accepting various worship and birthday gifts, and there are countless rare treasures.

Although the fiefs and kings would pay tribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty every year and would always give some strange objects, the birthday gifts given to the emperor's birthday still require some blessings.

Shen Yixiang has ordered that after sorting out the items he received, he would collect or reward the rare items in a category, especially to give more rewards to the concubines in the harem and ministers who made significant contributions to the Great Zhou.

"I wish the emperor a long life and a prosperous diplomatic relationship."

"Thank you for your blessings from the last time, wishing you prosperity forever."

"I wish the emperor a long life and a long and healthy life~"

"The King of the Western Regions congratulates the Emperor of Long Kang forever~"

"I wish you a happy time to meet the prosperous age and live a long life than the southern mountain~"

"King Jinge wishes the emperor good health, peace and happiness~"

…………

As the envoys took their seats, the ministers kneeling down and worshipped the ground stood up to offer birthday gifts to Shen Yixiang. Eunuch Su then handed the dozen or so volumes of birthday gifts copied before to the emperor to check again. Shen Yixiang waved his hand and asked Eunuch Su to put it away.

The necessary part of this birthday party is to offer various birthday gifts and slips. Whether it is to the ministers in the court or the envoys of various countries, this step is the greatest respect for them. In addition, it can also show the supreme status and honor of the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

"My son wishes my father a blessing and longevity~" Concubine Jin found that the emperor was a little tired, so she pushed Shen Yi to take a break.

In order to please his father, the fifth prince immediately gave gifts first. He was the youngest and was always favored by princes and princesses, so no one would choose the orderly ceremony of the elders and the younger.

"What is Xu'er giving? Su Rui~" Shen Yixiang signaled Eunuch Su to quickly collect the bamboo slips handed over by the fifth prince.

"Birthday Ceremony Shop~" Shen Yixiao replied seriously.

"Oh~ Xu'er also helped Eunuch Su copy the birthday gift? Thank you for your hard work~" Shen Yixiang looked at Shen Yi'er thoughtfully. This child grew so fast that he seemed to have grown half an inch taller after not seeing him for a month.

"Hehe~ No, my son didn't help Eunuch Su, and this bamboo slip is not a birthday gift slip~" Shen Yixiao said mysteriously.

"What is that?" Shen Yixiang was puzzled, but he didn't expect that the fifth prince would still have a puzzle with him at a young age.

"It is a bamboo slip written by the son minister to celebrate his father's birthday, referred to as the birthday gift slip. Hehehe~ Father, the copy here are all the aphorisms and words in the correction of the articles that the father taught his son minister on weekdays and the corrections of the articles." Shen Yiqiu thought of his birthday gift slip from the birthday gift slip of the copied items.

Eunuch Su opened Shen Yixia's bamboo slips to Shen Yixiang for his eyes, and saw that the fifth prince's handwriting was neat, which made the emperor pleasing to the eyes.

"Your Majesty, Xu'er grinds his palms into blood blisters for you~" Concubine Jin felt very sorry for her son, because Shen Yi'er had practiced dozens of volumes to copy the emperor's famous sayings and sentences.

Finally, he chose the best-written book as a birthday gift. If Shen Yixiao wanted to do, he would be able to calm down, which made Concubine Jin very pleased.

"Your Majesty, the fifth prince really admires you. When you visit me on weekdays, you will talk about the emperor's earnest teachings to her from time to time. There are some good words that I have never heard of you." Concubine Xuan said good words from the fifth prince for Concubine Jin.

"The fifth prince is really kind. He is very sensible and filial at a young age. He can calm his mind when he speaks and acts. He has the resolute demeanor of the emperor back then~"

Concubine Zhuang also praised the fifth prince's intentions for Concubine Jin, but it made Concubine Jing unhappy and said, "Oh~ Concubine Zhuang admires the fifth prince so much. What kind of intentional birthday gift did the fourth prince prepare for the emperor?"
