Chapter 89 My congratulatory gift will come in the evening
The tenth day of November is He Yanchen's birthday.
He hadn't held a birthday party for many years, and this time Yue Li asked him to do it. She was very confused and said:
"On your Majesty's birthday, all nations should come to pay homage, everyone should come to congratulate you, and absorb all their blessings, so that your Majesty can live forever and be safe."
He Yanchen was left in a state of confusion: "Where did these twisted theories come from?"
"How is that a twisted logic? I'm telling the truth." Yue Li said, "I just like people to compliment me. Last time I celebrated my birthday, I didn't have a banquet, and I still regret it."
He Yanchen leaned on the couch and watched her put on her makeup. Hearing this, he said slowly, "Who said last time that they only wanted to spend their birthdays with me? Now you regret it again, thinking that being with me alone is boring?"
Yueli heard his sour tone, and her hand holding the ink trembled, causing her eyebrows to fly out of the painting. She frowned and ran to the bedside and threw the ink to him: "How could I say that?"
"It's all your Majesty's fault. I can't even draw my eyebrows properly."
Yue Li sat down beside him angrily. He Yanchen picked up the inkstone thrown on the couch, turned the girl's face with one hand, and used a handkerchief to wipe her messy eyebrows.
"Jiaojiao, isn't that what you meant? On your birthday next year, I'll give you a grand banquet and have everyone come to congratulate and compliment you. Since you already have them, it doesn't seem to matter whether I'm here or not."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Yue Li sat down obediently, letting He Yanchen hold her little face and draw her eyebrows. "They are just icing on the cake. If Your Majesty is not here, I don't want to celebrate my birthday."
She still remembered that she was upset about the poison on her last birthday and was not in the mood to deal with too many people, but now it was different. She wanted He Yanchen to take her with him so that everyone could see them standing together.
He Yanchen naturally understood her thoughts. If it weren't for the purpose of letting her show off, he would not like to go to these banquets.
The two were very close. Yue Li raised her eyes to look at him. The man's tall nose was right in front of her, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids.
He is really handsome.
Yue Li became very lustful and suddenly hugged his neck and kissed him.
Now the other eyebrow is also drawn crooked.
He Yanchen grabbed her by the back of the neck and asked, "Do you still want to draw your eyebrows?"
"I won't paint anymore. I want Your Majesty." Yue Li leaned on his chest and kissed the tip of his nose with a smile. "Your Majesty will be going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony soon. I won't be able to see Your Majesty for the whole afternoon. Your Majesty, please accompany me first."
He Yanchen still used the handkerchief to wipe her face, but the handkerchief was dry, and after wiping it over and over again, a black mark still remained on her forehead.
He couldn't stand the sight of Yueli being soiled by him, and wanted to fetch some water to wash her face, but the woman in his arms clung to him like a gecko.
He Yanchen sighed: "Are you that greedy?"
Yueli's eyes sparkled: "I hope that when I enter the Golden Palace later, I will smell like Your Majesty."
He Yanchen smiled, pinched her face, then turned over and pressed her under him.
......
After all the nonsense, Yueli slept until the afternoon.
Lian Qiao was quietly helping her pack things for the palace banquet that evening. When she heard the noise, she hurried over and lifted the curtain: "Is your Majesty going to get up?"
"Just now, Eunuch Ji sent over a box of ambergris, saying it was from His Majesty for Your Majesty." Lian Qiao pointed to two small boxes on the table. "I took out two boxes, and the rest is in the storeroom. Would Your Majesty like some?"
When Ji Ming came just now, Lian Qiao was still a little skeptical. Ambergris is the royal incense. No one is allowed to use it except the emperor and the crown prince. She didn't expect that His Majesty would send a large box over at once.
Yueli became excited when she heard this. She took a box and put it under her nose to sniff.
There's nothing special about it, and it's not as nice as the smell on He Yanchen.
Yueli thought about it and asked someone to replace the incense burned in the study with ambergris, and then used this to fumigate the clothes she was going to wear today for a while.
It was a good idea of hers. This way, her clothes would smell like the mixture of their spices, which must be very nice.
After all this trouble, it was soon evening.
After He Yanchen finished the sacrificial ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he returned to the Zhuoyu Palace to pick her up.
The two of them boarded the imperial carriage together, and Yueli approached him and asked, "Your Majesty, do you smell it?"
He Yanchen did smell a different scent on her body, which was very similar to the smell mixed together after the two of them were together, and it could easily remind people of some beautiful scenes.
He actually didn't quite understand why Yueli was so insistent on using his spices.
Now I understand a little bit.
Little greedy cat.
The man chuckled briefly, paused, and said, "Jiaojiao, have you forgotten something?"
Yueli was immersed in her own unique spices when he suddenly nodded his head. She asked blankly, "What is it?"
He Yanchen's expression faded: "Think for yourself."
He released his arms from around the woman's waist and sat aside.
Yue Li racked her brains, and suddenly an idea struck her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You won't be able to see my gift until I return tonight."
It's not hopeless.
He Yanchen allowed her to come closer again, and silently reached out and hugged her again.
What can only be watched at night?
Golden Palace.
The Empress Dowager, other concubines, and court officials had already taken their seats. As a sharp announcement was made, He Yanchen entered the hall with Yue Li.
The queen looked at the two people coming together, and her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into a ball.
The Queen Mother was also hesitant to speak. It was fine that he doted on Yu Zhaorong normally, but appearing with her on such an occasion would only attract gossip, wouldn't it?
But no one dared to say anything, as He Yanchen had always been a man who did what he wanted.
There were four seats at the top, with the Empress Dowager and He Yanchen in the middle, the Queen next to the Empress Dowager, and Yue Li's seat next to the throne.
This is the first time in Yueli's two lifetimes that she has sat in a high position.
From this position, you can overlook the area below and see every move of everyone in the hall.
No wonder everyone wants to go higher, it’s so comfortable to sit here!
He Yanchen pinched her fingers under the table, signaling her to be more restrained.
Yue Li turned her head and smiled at him with her eyes curved into a smile. He Yanchen suddenly thought, forget it, just let her go.
Anyway, today's birthday party is just to satisfy her.
There was nothing new in the banquet, it was just the usual singing, dancing and opera. Ministers kept coming forward to toast, but except for the father and son of the Wei family, He Yanchen had never touched the toasts of others.
Seeing that Yueli liked the sea bass on the table, he put down his wine cup and concentrated on picking out the bones and feeding them to her.
