87, birthday banquet(2/2)
Su Ji didn't say anything, but her face also showed a look of inquisitiveness.
"Oh, then I'll congratulate my aunt first, and I'll add another unexpected fortune."
King Liang spent a lot of money in the capital, and he would definitely be indispensable for Princess Guantao's mansion.
Even though Liu Wu knew that Princess Guantao's mansion was about to marry Liu Rong, he did not ask Guantao for help and could cause less trouble, Liu Wu was already satisfied.
That's why Liu Rong said this.
"You kid, what about the serious business? Can Aunt Guantao still lack this little money?" Princess Guantao glanced at Liu Rong angrily, and turned around and said, "If you do this again, Aunt will go back directly."
Su Ji was so rude that she scolded her directly: "Boy, just say anything if you have anything to say. Do you believe it or not, I will punish you to kneel until tomorrow morning."
She really did this, before Liu Rong was ten years old.
These ancient people really had no sense of humor at all.
Liu Rong secretly complained, and then said honestly: "Is the child preparing a birthday gift for his father?"
Princess Guantao and Su Ji's eyes lit up and asked at the same time:
“What gift is it?”
Liu Rong scratched his head and said half-truely: "The child is going to copy the filial piety scriptures with his own hands to give them to his father as a birthday gift."
Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Such gifts are placed in ordinary people's homes, which are naturally enough to reflect the filial piety of children and grandchildren.
But if it is in the royal family... it will seem a bit shabby.
Especially when King Liang was interested in showing off his wealth, Liu Rong's gift was a bit out of place.
"Although this move is commendable, but..."
Su Ji said this and showed a look of embarrassment. Although she felt that this move was a bit inappropriate, she could not think of a better birthday gift.
In contrast, Princess Guantao seems much more direct, "Are you short of money? Within five thousand gold, your aunt can send it to the palace within half a day."
The amount of five thousand gold is equivalent to most of the possessions of Chehou, but she can take them out without even blinking her eyes.
From this we can also see that Princess Guantao's mansion is rich and powerful.
Looking at Su Ji with a look of shock and envy, Princess Guantao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
How about it, even if you have a good son, you have to rely on me to help you in the end!
Of course, Princess Guantao Liu Piao did this not to be selfless dedication.
Just as she often searches for beauties from all over the world, it is the same principle that she trains her to sing and dance and then presents them to the emperor.
Behind these behaviors are some kind of demand for interests.
In Liu Piao's opinion, this is investment.
As long as Liu Rong ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely make double the profit.
In contrast, Su Ji's eyes were much shorter. She kept winking at Liu Rong, making Liu Rong agree immediately.
Liu Rong smiled bitterly at this. Is Princess Guantao's money so easy to get?
If he cannot get enough reward in the future, this woman will definitely turn against each other faster than turning a book.
"My nephew is here to thank Aunt Guantao for her kindness, but her nephew has other plans, so I don't need this money."
The reason why people eat soft mouths and short hands are common in ancient and modern times.
Although Liu Rong got married to Princess Guantao's Mansion, he did not want to tie the two families together, as it would be very unfavorable for his future governance.
"Okay, then aunt is waiting to watch the show."
I have to say that Liu Rong's confident appearance is still very infectious.
Princess Guantao Liu Piao looked at Liu Rong more and more satisfied.
In a blink of an eye, I saw Su Ji, who was writing the unhappy expression on her face next to me, and shook her head secretly.
Without the drag of this stupid woman, Liu Rong's ascends to the throne might have increased a little more.
Since the purpose of coming here was achieved, Liu Piao turned to say goodbye.
Su Ji didn't want to leave, she still had a lot to say to her son.
However, Princess Guantao coaxed and deceived him and got out of Liu Rong's bedroom.
At this critical moment, don’t let this woman stay and make trouble!
Seeing this, Liu Rong hurriedly cast a gratitude look at Princess Guantao.
Princess Guantao's actions decisively caused him to be punished less.
The day passed in a blink of an eye.
Starting from the morning, the Weiyang Palace was filled with people to arrange various emperor's birthday decorations.
Teams of guards wearing iron armor and holding sharp weapons began to wander and patrol.
This is not only to demonstrate the emperor's majesty and dignity, but also to show the court's demeanor and strength to the vassal kings everywhere.
It was almost noon that Emperor Liu Qi, dressed in a gorgeous dress, appeared at Weiyang Palace and accepted birthday celebrations from all the officials of the court and princes.
These are all things on the surface, and everyone does it strictly in accordance with etiquette regulations.
Even the envoys from Wu and Chu were extremely peaceful at this time.
However, many people know in their hearts that the real highlight is the birthday party that was held later.
By that time, all the officials of the court and princes from all over the country would send gifts.
The quality of the gifts can naturally be seen in the prestige of the current emperor among the crowd.
Long before coming to attend the birthday party, all the officials of the court had already made an agreement on what level of officials would give gifts.
It is difficult for violators to survive in mainstream circles.
As for the princes and kings of the Liu family, they were not among them. Those who were interested, those with wealthy fiefs were richer, and those who had birthday gifts were more generous.
Those who don’t care about the emperor’s feelings or whose territory is poor will not blame others for the gifts given by them.
