128. Chapter 128 Queen Mother's Birthday
Although the wound has not fully recovered, it is almost done.
On this day, the palace of Nanli Kingdom was extremely lively!
Wei Shi and Xuanyuan Hao sat hand in hand on the left side of the empress dowager. During this period, the empress dowager knew the fact that Shi Shi's child was gone. Although she was very sad, she still said nothing. The empress dowager was on the right side, and the imperial concubine was sitting next to the emperor, followed by other concubines, and the nobles were sitting next to the concubine, and then the ministers, and the ministers were also arranged in order of first-rank officials, second-rank officials, and third-rank officials.
After everyone sat down, the empress dowager unconsciously looked at the palace gate. This was something she had to do every year on the empress dowager's birthday. Although she was disappointed every year, she persisted in watching it like this every year.
Of course, Xuanyuan Hao and the emperor knew what the empress dowager was looking at, but they were also helpless!
Xuanyuan Li was also a little disappointed. It has been so long since the letters he wrote to Sicheng, and Sicheng has not returned to the palace. Did she not receive the letters or did she not come back?
At this time, the representatives of Beimo and Dongtang countries also came.
"My deputies... came to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mo Kingdom, wishing the Queen Mother to pick immortal peaches and add a longevity to the longevity of the queen mother, and offer good wine to increase her blessings. Longevity is as happy as the descendants of the sky, as happy as the East China Sea and the family, and the pine and cranes accompany each other for a long life, and the five generations live together to melt!" A middle-aged man took out an antique blue and white porcelain vase to present it to the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother didn't like it very much, this was also the wish of the country. She didn't want to be pretentious, so she smiled lightly and then asked the maid to bring it over.
"My dedication to the Empress Dowager's birthday on behalf of Dongtang Kingdom, wishing the Empress Dowager a happy life and longevity than the pine trees in the south, and to be happy to be as blessed as the waters of the East China Sea!" After the man said that, he took out a pair of embroidery. The embroidery was embroidered peony flowers. Although this gift was not as valuable as the antiques given by the Northern Mo Kingdom, the Empress Dowager liked embroidery very much and came over to take the embroidery in person.
At this moment, Zhong Wufan and Si Cheng walked in together.
"Empress Dowager, I wish you happiness as much as the East China Sea and longevity than the South Mountain." After Sicheng said that, he took out a jade pendant in the shape of a cabbage. Rumors said that this jade pendant has a special meaning. Having this jade can prosper, whether it is a country or a family! The Empress Dowager took the gift from Sicheng, looked at Sicheng and Zhong Wufan with a smile and asked, "Sicheng, is this?"
"Empress Dowager, I am the prince of Xixiang Kingdom. Today I am here to celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager, and the other to propose marriage. I know that Sicheng entered the palace at the age of five and has been following the empress dowager. The empress dowager has a deep affection for Sicheng. Today, I want to make a promise in front of all the ministers and princes of Nanli Kingdom. I swear by my Xixiang Kingdom that I will not bear Sicheng in this life. I hope the empress dowager will give up the love and promise Sicheng to me." Faced with so many people, Zhong Wufan said neither sad nor resistant. Although he was proposing his marriage, his tone was gentle, but his domineering aura that could not be rejected was shocking.
The Empress Dowager was stunned, not digesting the good news for a while. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "Ai's family will have no objection as long as Sicheng is willing." The implication is that it depends on Sicheng's decision and she will not interfere.
