Nangong Xue smiled and nodded.
"I'm ready."
Nangong Jiu whispered with Nangong Yunxue for a while before the mother and daughter left the side hall and returned to the main hall.
Empress Chen stood up and walked forward, reaching out to embrace Nangong Jiu.
"I'll let everyone go first, let's go too."
Nangong Jiu held his chubby little hands.
[Grandmother, Jiuer wishes you a happy birthday!]
"Okay! Good boy Jiuer!"
【Jiuer has also prepared a birthday gift for you.】
Empress Chen smiled happily.
"Oh, what is it? Can the Empress Dowager take a look first?"
Nangong Jiu nodded and agreed: "It would be better for the Empress Dowager to take a look first. We will know the answer later."
Nangong Yunxue lifted a corner of the red silk.
Empress Chen took a look at what was under the red silk.
"Jiu'er, what is this?"
[These are the peaches bestowed by the Queen Mother, also known as the Immortal Fruit! The pot contains the immortal wine—the nectar of the immortal realm!]
[Grandmother, these things are so rare!]
[Just let the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's Great-grandmother, the Emperor's Grandfather, and the two Emperor's Uncles enjoy it with you. Don't let others join in and then divide it up!]
The Queen Mother’s peaches and nectar?
I heard that only the gods in heaven have the opportunity to enjoy it.
How can we be so worthy?!
Empress Chen was so excited that she kissed Nangong Jiu fiercely: "Jiu'er, you are our noble lady!
These things must not be easy for you to obtain now.
There are five of us in total, so five peaches are enough.
You can take the remaining three back home and let your family taste them."
Nangong Jiu hesitated for a moment. There were many people in his family, and seven peaches were indeed a little too little to share among more than ten people.
[Okay, I'll take three.]
As he said that, he put three into his pocket.
[Grandmother, the banquet is over, you should eat quickly to avoid attracting others' covetousness!]
"Okay! I'll do as you say. I'll talk to the Emperor and the others shortly!"
Jiuer is generous and the queen is not greedy, they are both great!
Nangong Yunxue watched with a smile throughout the whole process without saying a word.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Ministers and their families gathered together.
The Queen Mother, Emperor Dongling and Empress Chen sat on the throne.
As we bid farewell to the old and ushered in the new, everyone said auspicious words to each other, and the hall was filled with peace and harmony.
After three rounds of drinks, it was finally time to present the birthday gifts.
Liu Hao was the first. Following the ceremonial officer's chant, Liu Hao stood up and walked towards Queen Chen.
This move caused an uproar in the hall.
"The Second Prince can actually walk. When did he recover?"
"I don't know. The Second Prince is so outstanding. It's a great thing that he is no longer disabled!"
"That's right, the Second Prince is a man of both military and civil skills, and has a good temper. God has opened his eyes!"
"Could this be the reason why the Empress suddenly regained control of the harem some time ago?"
“…”
After everyone was surprised and happy, they all looked at the mother and son in front of the hall.
At this time, Liu Hao knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Mother, I am where I am today because of your unwavering care and unwavering care for nearly two thousand days and nights.
The past is too painful to recall, so I will doubly cherish everything I have now, live a good life, take every day seriously, and take every step carefully. Please rest assured!"
"Okay, get up quickly!" The queen raised her hand with red eyes.
"As long as you are well, all this will be worth it!"
Liu Hao presented the birthday gift and returned to his seat.
Next came Liu Xuan, then the fourth son Liu Ze, the married princesses, and the emperor's grandchildren.
Nangong Jiu is the youngest and it is his turn last.
Nangong Yunxue carried Nangong Jiu forward, and Xiao Wang followed with the birthday gift.
This unusual move caused the ministers and their families in the hall to stretch their necks.
"What kind of birthday gift did Princess Dingguo send? Why is it so mysterious?"
"How bizarre! They're sending a dog along as a gift. Could it be that they're sending a dog to the Empress?"
Nangong Yunxue hugged Nangong Jiu, ignored everyone's inquiring gazes and discussions, and knelt in front of Queen Chen.
She spoke in the voice of Nangong Jiu, "Imperial granddaughter Nangong Jiu wishes you a happy birthday. May your grandmother be blessed with blessings as vast as the East Sea, and may you enjoy the imperial court every year!"
Empress Chen smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, get up quickly!"
Nangong Yunxue stood up and said loudly according to Nangong Jiu's instructions: "Empress, Xue'er has gained some opportunities, and I would like to take this opportunity to present them to you!"
Nangong Yunxue said this as she untied the red silk with one hand. A eunuch came forward to take the birthday gift and presented it to Queen Chen.
Everyone looked at the birthday gift, and after seeing what it was, they were confused.
Someone asked with a smile: "Isn't it just a longevity peach made of flour?
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to give these ordinary people's things to the Queen on her birthday?"
Someone booed: "Yeah, it looks like good craftsmanship, and it's quite realistic!"
"The Emperor and Empress have been very kind to them, mother and daughter. It's truly shameful that they gave them such unpresentable gifts."
Everyone was whispering to each other.
There were constant voices of ridicule, contempt, and disdain.
Only Emperor Dongling and the Nangong family sat there calmly.
A bunch of blind people!
How could Jiuer’s precious birthday gift be bad?
Sudden.
Those who sit closer can smell a strong peach fragrance.
"No, it seems to be a real peach. It has a strong peach scent."
"Yes, I smelled it too. This must be a real peach."
"But where can we get peaches this big in this season?"
"Yes, Madam Xue, please help me clear up my confusion."
Nangong Yunxue glanced at everyone.
