Chapter 1188 (1/2)

So ruoim followed the crowd and stood up and saluted.

At the next moment, the fourth master in the bright yellow dragon robe and the Empress Dowager in the flag dress with deep purple flowers entered the hall of supreme harmony.

After sitting down at the head of the hall, the fourth master and the Empress Dowager solemnly said, ”today is the Queen Mother's longevity day. You don't have to be polite. Just give the Empress Dowager a happy birthday.”

Here, some older emperors and empress dowagers celebrate their birthday, also known as longevity day.

Then, see empress dowager smile, also way: ”all rise.”

”Thank the emperor and the Empress Dowager.” Ruoyin got up with the crowd and took his seat.

Then the servants in the imperial dining room began to serve Manchu specialty food.

for example, fried pie, small cake, big cake, red and white Sanzhi, dried fruit, fresh fruit, animal meat and wine, etc.

After the imperial dining room has finished the meal, there will be a group of performers in the center of the hall to celebrate their birthday.

With the completion of those birthday celebrations, the sound of whips sounded outside.

Then, people inside and outside the hall rose one after another, saluting the empress dowager, ”I wish the Empress Dowager good health and longevity!”

”Well, well, there's no need to be polite.” The Empress Dowager is very pleasant.

After they took their seats again, the fourth Master said with dignity: ”the longevity day of the Empress Dowager is coming. I have ordered the temples to recite sutras and celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager, and I have copied the Scriptures and presented them. In addition, during the longevity Festival, folk slaughtering is prohibited, and the imperial court forbids the killing of criminal prisoners.... ”

in a word, the birthday of the Empress Dowager is mainly organized around the eight words” universal celebration and amnesty ”.

It also shows that the status of the Empress Dowager in the current Dynasty should not be underestimated.

After the fourth master finished, some bodyguards and servants also brought in many exquisite boxes.

Su Peisheng unfolded a piece of bright yellow paper, which was full of birthday celebrations given by the four masters to the Empress Dowager. He said in a sharp voice: ”the emperor presented the Empress Dowager with a hairpin of everything, a hairpin of Jingfu Changmian and a hairpin of ten thousand years of good luck...”

”as well as the glass screen of Wanshou Haiwu, the gold inlaid Baoding of Wanshou, the square flower statue of Wanshou enamel, and the peach dish of natural Ganoderma lucidum offering longevity ... ”

just reading these, Su Peisheng spent nearly a cup of tea.

As an emperor, the fourth master was not in accord with the empress dowager, but she was always a empress dowager in her whole life.

Even if there is estrangement in the bottom of my heart, it will break the bone and tendon.

Plus, the whole life is only once every ten years.

Therefore, he did not care about his actions to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.

He also ordered slaves to collect many precious gifts for the Empress Dowager.

In addition, it's not a very high standard of birthday gift in Daqing.

It's not as simple as 9981.

It refers to nine categories of birthday gifts, each of which must contain nine.

It's just that 9981 pieces are just the number of gifts in a day.

As for the next few days, that is, the number of days multiplied by 81 pieces is the total number of gifts.

”The emperor has a mind.” The Empress Dowager was smiling and satisfied with her jaw.

When the fourth master's gift was finished, the princes, ministers and officials offered gifts to the Empress Dowager.

They don't offer as much as four masters. They usually offer one or two gifts.

After all, there is a difference between a minister and a son.

Besides, their strength does not allow it.

But in order to coax the Empress Dowager to be happy, every piece they sent was a treasure.

Most of them are good sounding names, good omens of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, porcelain, bonsai, calligraphy and painting, etc.

What the women's dependents gave them were nothing but brocade, clothes and jewelry.

If Yin is a queen, it will naturally mean something.

However, her relationship with the Empress Dowager has only maintained the apparent harmony of the Royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Therefore, it is not necessary to spend much effort to please this one.

Because she knows, please or not, that's all.

Therefore, what she ordered her servants to present to the Empress Dowager was a bronze tripod with longevity to express her feelings.

Anyway, it won't be too eye-catching, but it doesn't lose the identity of Queen.

Because of the large number of guests present and everyone presents gifts, this process alone will take a few hours.
