Chapter 241 Gao Leng Yao King
The matter about the Yang family continues to be hotly discussed, and no one has mentioned the rumors about Lanlan before.
In fact, the Yang family has proved that the rumors about Lanlan before were made out of nothing.
In a blink of an eye, the old lady's birthday was on, and the entire Duke's mansion was cleaned up spotlessly.
The servants in the mansion were all full of energy and dressed up in joy.
Not to mention the masters in each yard, they dress up carefully to compete for beauty.
The old lady also wore a bright red dress with many words embroidered with blessings and longevity, and her combed hair was shimmering with silver light. She looked very energetic with a light makeup.
The grandchildren of the mansion came to the old lady's room early to pay their respects. They said auspicious words and said so casually. The old lady was very happy and laughter came from time to time in the room.
Perhaps because of the old lady's birthday, He Bingting rarely did not sarcastically at Chunfeng after meeting Chunfeng, but instead smiled at Chunfeng mysteriously.
Chunfeng turned his head indifferently, without any reaction.
By noon, guests had already come to congratulate him. Because it was the old lady who celebrated her birthday, most of them were female relatives. However, there were also a small number of men with good relationships with He Renyu, or children with outstanding families.
Such days are not only for congratulations, but also for a good opportunity to make friends with the powerful. More importantly, there is a chance to see the face of He Bingting, the No. 1 beauty in the capital. That is something to be happy about.
Waves of guests came to the door, and He Renyu and Wang, who were standing at the door to greet him, kept smiling and greeting everyone warmly.
The old lady sat in the main hall with a red face, accepting everyone's blessings.
The banquet was set up in the main hall courtyard of the Duke of the People's Palace, with men's seats and women's seats, separated by only half a person's height screen.
It’s just that men and women have different seats. When sitting on their respective seats, you can see the people on the opposite seat or women’s seat just by looking up.
The guests were almost here. When the banquet was about to start, a loud singing came from the door: "The Empress Dowager is here, Your Highness Yao is here!"
This loud voice attracted all the eyes that were originally gathered at the old lady to the door.
The old lady had already stood up and walked to the door to greet her when she heard the sound.
"The wife He Qiao met with the Queen Mother, and the King Yao Jixiang!" The old lady walked to the front of the Queen Mother and wanted to kneel down to salute, and the rest of the people were also preparing to kneel down to pray.
The Empress Dowager held the old lady's hand: "My good sister! What are you doing? Today is your birthday, there is no need to be too polite. Get up quickly, everyone should get up!" The Empress Dowager said like an ordinary person greeting an old friend.
When everyone heard the Queen Mother's words, they all thanked each other and stood up and retreated aside.
The Empress Dowager looked younger than the old lady, but the silver thread on her temples was still hard to hide, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and her facial features were still pretty. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager was also a great beauty when she was young.
The Queen Mother's clothes were not very exaggerated and gorgeous, but the workmanship was absolutely exquisite. The Queen Mother's head was combed with an exquisite flying phoenix bun and decorated with a few jade decorations on it, which looked simple but not lacking in luxury.
It makes people feel very close and easy-going, without the shrewd calculations of living in the deep palace for a long time, and cunning and hostile spirit.
A string of white jade beads in his hand made the Queen Mother exude a Zen fragrance all over her body.
I heard that since the death of the previous emperor, the empress dowager began to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, recite Buddhist scriptures every day, praying for the emperor and the people of the world. Since then, he has rarely managed the harem and rarely left the palace.
Today, I can come to celebrate the old lady’s birthday, which is a great honor for the entire Duke’s Mansion.
He Renyu knew that the Empress Dowager was vegetarian and immediately sent someone to prepare a vegetarian table.
He took He Luohua personally to receive Yao Wang to a separate hall.
Since the time came, the guests have been talking in a low voice or guessing something in their hearts.
How could the empress dowager who has not left the palace for many years suddenly come to the Duke's Mansion to celebrate the old lady's birthday today?
"Empress Dowager, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still look like this, and you haven't changed at all." The old lady and the empress dowager sat in the main seat together, holding hands and chatting with each other.
"Good sister, why are you old? Where can you remain unchanged? Don't just talk about the queen mother, you're so angry that you're so angry. Just call me Huamei just like before."
The Queen Mother smiled, revealing a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and said humbly.
"This... After all, there is a difference between the king and the minister, how dare the wife overtake the enemy?" the old lady said in a little embarrassed.
The two have had a good relationship for many years, but now it is a difference in identity and no longer the time to be as casual as before.
"Okay, okay, I won't make things difficult for you anymore." The empress dowager could understand the embarrassment on the old lady's face, and waved her hand casually and said.
...
"The reason why King Yao is here this time is really a glorious place for the humble house!" He Renyu greeted King Yao respectfully and politely.
"You are kind to the Lord of the People's Republic of China. The old lady's 60th birthday is something worth celebrating. Besides, the cousin in the house has saved me and I am worth celebrating it. Besides, it is rare to be happy to be the emperor and grandmother."
Baili Mochen's tone was calm and distant, with no pleasure in his voice, and no unnecessary emotions. It seemed as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.
This is the King Yao in everyone's eyes, the cold and indifferent King Yao, as if his warmth and fickleness were only shown to that person.
He Renyu has always been the cold and inhumane side in front of the world. He has long been used to such a Yao King.
"The prince is about to start a banquet, let's go to the banquet!" After a few simple greetings, He Renyu guessed that the time was almost over, so he went to Yaowang's way.
"Okay!" The cold King Yao sat upright there with a kind of oppressive aura. He simply spit out a good word, and got up and went to the main hall.
Most of the guests in the front hall had already been in the seat, and the chairmen of both men and women were automatically controlled and left to the two most noble guests.
When the Empress Dowager and King Yao both came to the table, the host announced the banquet.
There were bursts of sound in the hall, and the sound of toasting and drinking wafted into the distance with the fragrance of food.
The old lady accompanied the queen mother with her favorite baby granddaughter and eldest daughter-in-law, and the table was full of joy.
He Renyu accompanied King Yao with his son and several people with higher official positions, and occasionally toasted and talked.
But every time we toast our Yao King just tasted it, sometimes we just raised the cup as if it were just a gesture, and we just spit out a few single notes when talking to the adults, which was simply a pity for words.
