Chapter 1091 Birthday Banquet
Today is the emperor's birthday banquet. Qin Chuchu got up early in the morning, still dressed in her best.
When we arrived at the palace gate, there were already quite a few carriages parked there.
Seeing King Chen's carriage coming, everyone made way and the carriage went straight into the palace.
This was a special permission granted by the emperor, and all the ministers were extremely envious.
When King Chen was exiled, everyone thought he was completely defeated. Unexpectedly, he has successfully turned things around and is even more glorious than before.
Looking at the entire palace, which prince can have such treatment? It is enough to see how much the emperor values Prince Chen.
All the ministers began to think about it in their minds, and they already had an idea of what was more important.
Minister Su, who was standing at the door, looked at the carriage entering the palace and made up his mind that his daughter must marry into the palace even if it was for the prosperity of the family.
Even Su Xue, who was standing next to him, thought so.
Just now, when I saw Qin Chuchu sitting next to the prince, I was so envious that I wanted to marry the prince.
I also want to be like that woman, sit next to the prince and be the most dazzling one.
Qin Chuchu didn't know what they were thinking, and she sat with the man until she reached the entrance of the hall before coming down.
When he entered the main hall, he undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
Looking at the two people wearing black and white fox cloaks, everyone's eyes lit up.
Everyone knew that Princess Chen was beautiful, but every time they saw her, they were still amazed.
Especially at this moment, standing next to King Chen, the two of them are so well matched in terms of height and appearance, they are simply a pair of fairy lovers, so pleasing to the eyes.
The happiest person was Concubine Jing. She grinned from ear to ear at how well matched her son and daughter-in-law were.
But the queen was different. Although her face remained calm, she was extremely jealous in her heart.
That little beast is so lucky. Princess Chen is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has so much money. How come his son can't meet someone like her?
Even Han Mulei, who was sitting next to him, was staring at Qin Chuchu infatuatedly.
“………………”
Although he hated this woman, he still felt very attracted to her every time he saw her, and she made him feel itchy inside.
Sensing the greedy gaze, Han Muchen glanced at him coldly.
“………………”
He was very upset that she dared to stare at his Chu Chu with such a sticky look.
Meeting the murderous intent in Han Muchen's eyes, Han Mulei quickly withdrew his gaze, and Qin Chuchu and the man sat down.
Seeing that everyone was present, Eunuch Li shouted in a shrill voice.
"Master Zhang, Director of the City Patrol Department, presented a pair of jade Ruyu jades, and Master Liu, Deputy Minister of Works, presented a jade Guanyin statue..."
Eunuch Li took the gift list in his hand and began to read it in front of everyone.
Those who came were officials of the fourth rank and above, so the gifts they brought naturally could not be cheap.
Eunuch Li started reading from the fourth-rank officials and muttered out the gifts sent by each adult.
By the time he finished his speech, his throat was smoking from shouting, and he curled the corners of his mouth at Han Mulei.
"I wonder what gift Your Highness gave to the Emperor?"
There are no names of the princes on the gift list, so I guess they will be delivered personally in front of everyone.
This is not surprising. On such an important occasion, the princes naturally want to show off.
After hearing what Eunuch Li said, Han Mulei stood up and saluted respectfully to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
After saying that, he waved to the servants behind him, and more than a dozen people carried over a large thing covered with a red cloth.
Everyone present stared at it curiously, not knowing what the second prince had given him, but it looked strangely large.
Even the emperor looked curious and pointed with his finger in confusion.
"What is this?"
"Father, this is something I bought specially in Chuxiong."
After he finished speaking, he had the red cloth pulled off, revealing a large crystal clear green stone inside, which was the same shape as the mountain, and everyone's eyes lit up.
“………………”
This piece of jade must weigh over a hundred kilograms, and is estimated to be worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. It is indeed a rare thing.
Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, Han Mulei was very proud. He stood up, walked to the jade, and pointed with his finger.
"Father, look at this jade stone, it's shaped like a mountain, just like my kingdom, Yu the Great. It will surely last for thousands of years."
While speaking, he looked at Han Muchen proudly. There is only one piece of jade of this size in the world.
I think no matter how valuable your gift, Han Muchen, is, it won’t surpass his.
Seeing that guy showing off with his tail raised to the sky, Qin Chuchu rolled her eyes speechlessly.
“………………”
This guy has never seen the world, and he is so arrogant just because of a piece of broken stone.
"Okay, my son is thoughtful." The emperor smiled knowingly.
This is also the emperor's intention, and this stone looks quite rare.
But I wasn’t that happy in my heart, after all, it couldn’t be spent as money.
The queen standing by was very proud. Such a large piece of jade could not be sold cheaply. She thought that her son's birthday gift should be the most outstanding one.
Seeing that his second brother had delivered the gifts, Han Mucheng also stood up and waved behind him.
Two eunuchs also carried a tray with a round wall as big as a washbasin on it.
"This is a thousand-year-old wall. I wish you eternal happiness and a long life."
After saying that, he pointed to the round wall beside him. Although it was not as valuable as his second brother's jade, it was also very precious. He thought that the emperor would like it.
"Okay, my son is thoughtful."
The emperor stroked his beard and nodded again, but his response still seemed a bit perfunctory.
After all, there are more than one round wall of this quality in the private storehouse, but it is the son's filial piety after all, so he can't show it too obviously.
But in the eyes of everyone, it is already very precious. After all, it is a thousand-year-old ancient wall and still has great collection value.
Next, everyone's eyes turned to Han Muchen. The two princes had already given their gifts, and no one knew what King Chen would give.
Everyone was quite looking forward to it. After all, King Chen was very wealthy now, so the birthday gift should be very expensive.
Even the Emperor and Concubine Jing looked over. Although they didn't take it too seriously, they were still quite looking forward to it.
Especially Concubine Jing, she really wanted her son's birthday gift to be the best and didn't want the mother and daughter to steal the limelight.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Han Muchen stood up and bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I wish you good health and a long life!"
After saying that, he waved to Feng Liu and Feng Qi behind him.
The two of them went out, and after a while, they brought in a group of people.
Two people each carried a large box. After opening the lid, they revealed large silver ingots weighing ten taels each.
One or two boxes wouldn't matter, after all, everyone has them at home, but it's a different story if the quantity is large.
In a short while, the originally empty hall was filled with boxes.
Not only did everyone stare in amazement, but even the emperor on the main seat had his eyes shining.
He pointed excitedly at the silver in front of him, his mouth wide open with joy.
"Chen'er, what does this mean?"
