Chapter 1171 The birthday begins

Liu's mother assisted Gu Chunzhu in tidying up the last naughty strands of hair so that they were docile, then adjusted the position of the hairpin, and finally patted Gu Chunzhu's maid's clothes so that there were no wrinkles.

After finishing all this, Liu's mother took a step back to confirm that everything was perfect, and then said to Gu Chunzhu, "Madam, everything is done, you can go."

"Well, bring the gift and the sign for entering the palace."

Gu Chunzhu's maid's uniform looks very beautiful, and it is very noble and dignified, but it is so complicated that it is a bit heavy and inconvenient to move. She had to be carefully supported by the maid with both hands, and asked to act with the most standard etiquette.

On the birthday, the courtiers will stay directly in the palace for a whole day. They have to rush to the palace early in the morning. At noon, the emperor will directly give them a meal. Then he went to accompany the emperor.

But the main thing in the afternoon was the courtiers giving gifts, so when Gu Chunzhu was entering the palace, the emperor over there also gathered with a group of courtiers.

The guards guarding the palace gate of the palace routinely stopped the carriage of the general's mansion and checked the palace cards of Gu Chunzhu and his party. The captain of the guard glanced at the two carriages behind him, and asked cautiously, "Mrs. General, this subordinate takes the liberty to ask, who is sitting in the carriage behind?"

"This is the person I brought to perform for His Majesty, and I have told His Majesty about this matter, you can ask whatever you want." Gu Chunzhu calmly asked the guard to send someone to check the people in the car behind.

The guards also actually sent some people to see it. The older ones were calm, and their eyes flashed and they returned to their original state. The newly arrived bodyguard stared at the beauties in the car in a stunned manner, sighing inwardly that it was immoral.

After listening to the report, the captain of the guards let him go only after confirming that there was no danger. He is not an uninformed person. He knows that some clothes in the Western Regions like to show their arms and navels. In his eyes, the clothes of these beauties are not worth making a fuss about.

But not long after Gu Chunzhu's carriage started, it was stopped again, but this time Xiaocheng specially arranged to pick them up. The emperor handed over all the arrangements for the performance to Xiaocheng, and Xiaocheng just arranged a good position for Gu Chunzhu.

"The eldest grandson of the emperor is inconvenient to find you in the main hall, so he deliberately sent a servant to lead you to the courtyard to arrange the performers."

"Then please lead the way."

This side is officially on the right track, and the atmosphere in the hall is also becoming hot, because various ministers have begun to send gifts, and the first ones are the gifts of the princes and grandsons.

Xuanyuan Lie was the first to present a gift. He was very confident that his gift was the most precious. Therefore, he held his head high, held a red brocade box in both hands, and said respectfully, "Erchen hereby wishes my father a long life and longevity. Therefore, I specially invited the immortals in the immortal mountain to come forward for my father. The emperor refined the elixir."

Hearing this, the emperor pretended to be happy and relieved, and asked the eunuch around him to take the gift, and praised and rewarded Xuanyuan Lie greatly, "Prince, you have a heart, this gift is sent to my heart, and it must be rewarded. !"

In his heart, the emperor felt that Xuanyuan Lie was really becoming more and more arrogant and could not speak. In the end, who would be so eager to ask for elixir, and it is not the person who is terminally ill and has no medical treatment. In addition, his current state is indeed declining day by day, so Xuanyuan Lie's actions today are very harsh irony no matter how you look at it or listen to the emperor.

It is unknown whether Xuanyuan Lie had this thought, but he really didn't realize that the emperor was dissatisfied with him. Hearing that you reward Xuanyuan Lie, he is even more proud, his chin is raised higher and higher, he is almost looking at people with his nostrils.

The next gifts are all rare and precious treasures, and then forcibly attach some beautiful meanings. The emperor was a little embarrassed when he heard it, but he still appreciated and accepted them as usual.

Soon, it will be Xiaocheng's turn to give gifts. The emperor's partiality towards Xiaocheng was also revealed, because this time he took the initiative to ask Xiaocheng with a smile, "I don't know what gift you have prepared for Grandpa Huang, Xiaocheng. Quickly present it to Grandpa Huang for me to see."

"Just a little thought, please don't dislike it." Xiaocheng handed the gift to the eunuch who came down to take it.

When the emperor saw Xiaocheng's gift, he couldn't wait to let the two eunuchs unfold it so that he could observe it carefully. The gift Xiaocheng sent was a painting, about three meters long and one meter wide, inspired by the painting of the riverside during the Qingming Festival that Gu Chunzhu had mentioned to him.

The courtiers standing below were also curious about what Xiaocheng's long picture scroll looked like, and besides, they were also calculating in their hearts how much the sage loved Xiaocheng.

After all, the gifts of other princes and grandsons were only accepted by the eunuch, but Xiaocheng's gifts were opened immediately.

The emperor first took a look at the picture as a whole. The content of the picture is very simple, but it is lifelike, and there is a strong breath of life. The picture scroll starts from the self on the palace hall, all the way to the city, mountains and rivers and the sea.

Then the emperor carefully looked at every detail on the scroll, and then he found that every part of this splendid mountain and river is related to people's livelihood and ordinary people, there are happiness and misfortune, and every place shows positive and optimistic.

While watching, the emperor continued to express his sincere words of admiration, applauding the painting again and again. As soon as the emperor looked up after reading it, he saw that the people below were also peeking out of curiosity. He waved his hand, "I think you should take a good look at this painting."

Taking advantage of the gap between the paintings being circulated in the hands of ministers, the emperor opened the

Hajime and Xiaocheng eagerly chatted about the situation of this painting, such as who conceived and painted this painting, whether the humanistic style displayed on it is real, and so on.

Xiaocheng replied respectfully, "Reporting to the emperor, this painting was conceived by Erchen and produced by more than 300 painters. Besides..." He paused hesitantly, after all, the next The painting seems to be asking for credit.

There is a big difference between Xiaocheng and Xuanyuanlie on this point. Just now when Xuanyuanlie sent an elixir, he bluntly asked for it, but now Xiaocheng is reluctant to take the initiative to say how he paid, because he feels that All should be.

"Don't betray you, just tell the emperor directly." The emperor urged with a smile.

"What I want to say is that your appearance on the scroll was drawn by me. If the painting is not good, please forgive me."

After hearing this, the emperor laughed out loud and praised Xiaocheng repeatedly, "Xiaocheng, you really put a lot of thought into giving me a gift. Besides, I see that your paintings are vivid, and it's just perfect!"

The excited emperor suddenly covered his mouth and coughed a few times. Everyone present stopped and looked at the emperor.
