At the second quarter of Youzheng (half past six in the afternoon), the Son of Yongzhi came in with Empress Yang from behind the Hanyuan Palace, and the princes, concubines, princesses, and horses in the palace were already waiting. Male and female. It's all fancy costumes. It gradually quieted down.

It's just that the two young princes cried loudly in the arms of the nursing mother. After Prince Jia, there were only two newborns in the palace. The faces of the two concubines with relatively low status turned a little pale. It's not the right time to cry. From time to time, a few mocking glances swept over.

The Son of Yongzhi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Ask their nurse to take them down." They're still too young, so it's my birthday, just come. "Tell someone to bring the two princes down. Then he went to the throne and took his seat.

The mother of the two princes breathed a sigh of relief. The temperament of the Son of Yongzhi has always been strict. It can be seen that the Son of Heaven is in a very good mood today.

Yan Wang Ning Xi stood in the middle of the team of the prince on the left, looking at the trembling and grateful concubines, his heart was gloomy. This is the horror of imperial power!

I remembered the truth that my husband taught him to be a man: a man should be kind at home; Because you are the barrier and the greatest reliance on your wives and children.

…

…

A small episode did not affect the good mood of Yongzhi Tianzi at this time. His eyes fell on the throne.

One meter away in front of the throne, in the form of a display, there are all kinds of curiosities and strange toys. Bells are full of bells. Among them, the most eye-catching is the ivory Western boat held on the jade platform! In the candlelight, it shines like a moist.

Yongzhi Tianzi smiled and nodded with satisfaction. The Jingcheng Daily reported in detail on the ship, which was worth 96,000 silver dollars. The difficulty lies in polishing the ivory. Now it looks like the hull is crystal clear, and it is indeed a superb work of art.

Although he lives in Xiyuan, he is not closed to the outside world. In addition to the chapters, the news of Jinyiwei, Pravda, Da Sunday, and Beijing Daily are also often read. Some time ago, the Beijing Daily published a martial arts: smiling proud of the rivers and lakes, quite attractive, just right to pass the time.

King Jin noticed the gaze of the Son of Heaven, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and laughed. His strategy initially worked.

At the same time, behind King Jin, the corner of King Chu's mouth also showed an unfathomable smile: Precious, the more expensive, the better!

At this time, Empress Yang, Jia Guifei, Dugu Guiren and other female dependents stepped forward to celebrate their birthdays in turn, and then retreated to the shift. The birthday wishes of the concubines do not need to be repeated. It's nothing more than words like "I wish Your Majesty a long life."

Then, the princes stepped forward in turn to celebrate their birthdays. In the Hanyuan Palace, the atmosphere became a little subtle at a certain moment. During the whole family banquet, the princes played against the Son of Heaven, and the opportunity to speak was at this time. This is the pivotal moment of the whole banquet!

The King of Jin was the first to step forward, dressed in a red prince's suit, bowed to the Son of Heaven, and said loudly: "Erchen wishes his father and the emperor good fortune like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan....!" ”

The Son of Yongzhi looked at the second son kneeling in front of the throne and nodded slightly, "Hmm." Stretching out his hand, he asked King Jin to get up, and asked, "What has the emperor been reading recently?" He was pleased with the ivory ships.

In the Hanyuan Palace, the atmosphere was suddenly slightly awkward. Because, a year ago, the two kings of Jin and Chu were studying and thinking at home. However, now, the ban has been relaxed. Both of them are showing up and moving in Beijing!

King Jin was slightly stunned, anxious and wise, and said: "The Book of Filial Piety that Erchen read at home." I feel something: My father has been working hard for so many years, and now he is recuperating in Xiyuan. It's just that the West Garden has not been repaired for a long time. Erchen saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. I built a glass house in the West Garden for my father to congratulate my father on his birthday! ”

"Oh..."

In the Hanyuan Palace, there was an uproar. Not only the prince, but even the concubines of the Son of Heaven were surprised.

As we all know, glass is valuable. Especially clear glass. A single piece of glass on one side is worth a thousand taels of silver. And how much does it cost to make a house out of glass? I'm afraid it's no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right? That's millions of silver dollars! Gee. Amazing.

Hanyuan Palace, in the prince's phalanx, several princes of the Chu king's family all looked at the king of Chu anxiously. King Jin this... I'm going to get the jackpot! Earlier, I heard that King Jin's birthday gift was to give an ivory Western ship, but I didn't expect King Jin to keep a hand!

The king of Chu was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect such a change. In my heart, I was fixed.

The Son of Yongzhi was quite surprised, and said with a smile: "Oh? He looked at Xu Yan, the chief eunuch beside him.

Xu Yan hurriedly knelt down and whispered: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is full of filial piety. In the east of the Imperial Garden, His Majesty repaired a glass house. To surprise Your Majesty. The minion did not mention it to His Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty. ”

Yongzhi Tianzi laughed happily and said, "You old slave...!" Arise up, what sin is this? As he spoke, he looked at King Wu below and said, "The emperor's brother is also involved in this matter, right?" ”

King Wu also smiled and pleaded guilty, and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin wants to practice filial piety, and his ministers dare not stop him." It was not played. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness. Without King Wu's cover, how could King Jin come up with a "surprise"?

Yongzhi Tianzi's heart was open, he stood up, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "You get up." What's the sin of this? His eyes fell on King Jin, and he said softly: "Pai'er, you bothered." ”

King Jin's heart was relieved, and he felt a little tearful. There is a sentence from the Son of Heaven, he threw half of his net worth into it, it's worth it! He said humbly: "My father worked hard for state affairs and was tired. The sons and daughters did their best to fulfill their filial piety, and they did not dare to be praised by their fathers! ”

Yongzhi Tianzi nodded with satisfaction.

For a time, in the Hanyuan Palace, there was quite an atmosphere of filial piety of fathers and sons! And this is not an ordinary father and son. Heavenly father and son, when the prince has not yet been determined, this atmosphere is really reverie, or makes some people frightened. Everyone can see that King Jin has successfully brushed the score.

At this time, the king of Chu took the initiative to walk to the throne. He couldn't wait any longer, and said loudly: "Father, my sons wish my father the Holy Body eternal peace, auspiciousness and health, and may the world be peaceful and the country prosperous."

The son has no money in his hands, only a volume of "Tao Te Ching" copied by himself, congratulating his father! ”

King Chu, there are words in the words. In the Hanyuan Palace, the good atmosphere is broken.

The Son of Yongzhi stared at the King of Chu with sharp eyes, without saying a word! Although the Son of Yongzhi looks getting older, he is still the emperor who has held the power of the world for 16 years! The tiger is majestic. The wrath of the Son of Heaven is terrifying!

There was a slight uproar in the hall, and it quickly disappeared. The atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Originally, the King of Chu insinuated to attack the King of Jin, and many concubines, princes, princesses, and concubines who had nothing to do with it were a little excited and ready to talk to each other. Look at the excitement, not too much. Now the dispute between Jin and Chu has almost become a must-have program for royal gatherings. I didn't expect the King of Chu to dare to fire in front of the Son of Heaven! However, the slightly gloomy face of the Son of Yongzhi suppressed everyone's thoughts.

King Ning Pai lowered his head and did not excuse himself, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

His eighth brother was too anxious. And anxious to eat hot tofu. Do you really think that the Son of Heaven is already old and mediocre? Such an act of provoking a fight will only increase the disgust of the Son of Heaven!
