Products made by Chenxi are guaranteed to be of the highest quality.
Ever since she learned that he liked these little gadgets, the birthday gifts that Chenxi prepared for him over the years were all kinds of inconspicuous hidden weapons, arming him from head to toe.
His formal and casual clothes are mostly black and white, and this belt is useful most of the time.
He immediately tried the belt on his waist and found it to be the perfect size.
"I really like this gift, thank you!" Ye Jingchen said to the air.
He didn't know where the dawn was hiding, but as long as he could hear it, that was enough.
"Happy birthday!" Chenxi's voice rang out behind him.
For today's palace banquet, the Imperial Wardrobe specially prepared three new formal suits for Ye Jingchen to choose from.
A black and gold set.
A set of moon-white.
A set of sky blue.
Ye Jingchen immediately took a liking to the black and gold belt, as it matched his hidden weapon belt perfectly.
Before heading to the banquet at Yong'an Palace, the emperor's gifts and the birthday presents of the imperial concubines were delivered.
Aside from the various novel trinkets bestowed by the emperor, the gifts given to the other concubines were almost identical every year, lacking any originality. After Ye Jingchen had seen them, he instructed Fangfei to store them in the storeroom.
Ye Jingshu and the others also sent out their gifts before the palace banquet began.
Ye Jingshu gave him a pure white fox fur coat.
Winters in the northern border region are the coldest, so Ye Jingshu specially sought out this fox fur coat.
When giving the gift, she subtly gestured to Ye Jingchen, indicating that she had everything arranged.
Ye Jingchen was relieved.
Ye Jingyan gave him two pairs of warm knee pads, Ye Jingyu gave him a pair of warm boots, and Ye Jingyan gave him a set of wrist guards. Although they were all very ordinary clothes, they were all things he could use after going to the Northern Frontier.
Ye Jingming gave him a booklet, which he opened and saw contained the performance evaluations of the generals of the Northern Frontier Defense Army and the Divine Might Army over the past three years.
Every year, the Ministry of Personnel evaluates all officials, large and small, in the Dayuan court. This information was specially compiled by Ye Jingming. Unlike the information recorded by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel's evaluation is a more accurate assessment of their abilities.
The birthday gifts Ye Jingyu, Yun Shu, and Gu Beichen gave to Ye Jingchen were also based on information they possessed related to the Northern Frontier, including information from the military and local officials.
In short, all of these were helpful to Ye Jingchen's trip to northern Xinjiang.
Ye Jingyu's birthday gift was as dazzling as ever, a pile of neatly arranged gold bars, shining brightly.
Gold bars may seem tacky, but who doesn't love them?
Ye Jinghe gave Ye Jingchen a piece of armor. The armor looked like it was made of iron, but it didn't feel as heavy as iron when you held it in your hand.
"I can't go to the northern frontier with my brother to protect him, so I hope this armor can protect him in my place!"
This was crafted by the best craftsmen in the capital, and it took them a long time to create it.
Ye Jing'an gave Ye Jingchen a dagger that could cut through iron like mud, while Ye Jingning gave Ye Jingchen a wooden box.
This wooden box has a cleverly designed mechanism; if opened incorrectly, the box will self-destruct.
Ever since Ye Jingchen brought Ye Jingning to the Tiangong Pavilion two years ago, he has fallen in love with the place and goes there whenever he has the chance.
Under the guidance of the craftsmen at Tiangong Pavilion, he has been able to make many exquisite little gadgets.
He made this box himself.
Xie Chang'an did not bring the gift into the palace; he asked Ye Jingchen to retrieve it from the Duke of Zhenguo's residence the next day.
What he gave to Ye Jingchen was a horse.
Ye Jingchen had seen that horse before. He had been thinking about it ever since it was a foal, and he had been thinking about it for three years.
That white horse, like Xie Chang'an's current mount, is a descendant of Black Wind.
Since we're going to the northern frontier and onto the battlefield, how can we go without a good horse?
Ever since the white horse was born, Xie Chang'an had planned to give it to Ye Jingchen.
However, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion had more experience in raising warhorses than the Imperial Horse Administration, which is why Xie Chang'an often took Ye Jingchen to see the foal and cultivate Ye Jingchen's affection for the foal, but refused to give the foal to him.
Now that the foal has grown up and been trained, it's ready to be put to good use.
Yong'an Palace, Hanyuan Hall.
As the noon bell rang, Ye Jingchen, dressed in a heavy black and gold suit, slowly walked into the main hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Everyone rose and bowed.
Ye Jingchen noticed that, apart from the main seat being empty, there were several other empty seats in the hall.
It seems those seats were reserved for those young ladies. I wonder what those noble ladies did to make those young ladies skip the banquet.
Ye Jingchen looked at Ye Jingshu, and Ye Jingshu nodded at him.
Not long after Ye Jingchen arrived, the emperor also arrived, and everyone shouted "Long live the emperor!"
The emperor seemed to be in a bad mood when he arrived. His face was expressionless, and when he looked at Ye Jingchen, his gaze was full of scrutiny.
Ye Jingchen guessed that he probably already knew that the girls he had arranged had all gotten into trouble, but he hadn't done those bad things. Even if he investigated, he could only find out that those noble ladies were fighting over the position of Crown Princess.
If you dig a little deeper, Ye Jingshu will still take the blame for him, and only then will it be his turn.
Of course, when Ye Jingshu needs him, he will also draw the fire for her.
So he gave the emperor an innocent look.
The emperor flicked his sleeve and sat down.
After the banquet began, the first part was the ceremony where the master of ceremonies announced the rites.
This process lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and Ye Jingchen's mood changed from initial excitement to later indifference.
This was the first time he had celebrated his birthday in such a grand way since transmigrating into the book, and also the first time he had received so many gifts. He suddenly felt that his private treasury was a bit small, and he couldn't even fit all the gifts in it.
After the singing ceremony, it's time for some food and drinks, and a chance to enjoy the song and dance performances.
However, before the Imperial Music Bureau could even begin its performances, noble ladies volunteered to perform at the palace banquet.
"The Crown Prince is the protagonist today; let him decide!" the Emperor said in a deep voice.
Ye Jingchen naturally hoped that these noble ladies would be more proactive, the more proactive the better.
However, he couldn't be too enthusiastic towards these noble ladies, as being too enthusiastic might be misunderstood by the emperor and everyone present.
"allow."
The allure of the Crown Princess was immense, and the noble ladies of the capital were all eager to participate, creating a lively atmosphere at the palace banquet.
Halfway through the banquet, Zhang Shunde left for a moment. When he returned, he leaned down and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor's expression changed slightly, and he immediately left his seat.
He was afraid that if he didn't leave soon, he wouldn't be able to control the expression on his face.
Today is the Crown Prince's birthday. If he embarrasses the Crown Prince in public, outrageous rumors will likely spread throughout the capital!
The missing people were finally found. They had all been knocked unconscious and locked in an empty palace. When they were woken up, they knew nothing about the situation.
And this unbelievable thing actually happened in the palace, right under his nose!
Before they disappeared, all of them had experienced various accidents!
Although he has no evidence now, this matter is definitely related to that unfilial son!
