Chapter 65 Wugu Yufeng Lantern

One after another, officials presented their birthday gifts. With the names read one by one, Lou Yunnian felt that her heartbeat was getting stronger and stronger, as if she had seen Lou Yunshang's embarrassment of being scolded by the emperor, and the emperor's joy when she presented Bai Yu Ruyi in time...

"The family members of officials of more than three grades shall present birthday gifts for your majesty." The sacrifice held a rectangular jade, engraved with a spell that he couldn't understand, and continued to sing.

"First, former Prime Minister Zuo, the son of Lou Duo, Lou Yunyu, went forward to present his birthday gift."

Lou Yunyu came forward, opened the brocade box in his arms, and took out the scroll inside. "Weichen presented a calligraphy for my master. May my emperor live a happy life." Yun Yu's birthday gift is the same as his people, so elegant and light.

When he came down, his face was calm, but Lou Yun Ni suddenly saw that Lou Yunshang, who was supposed to be standing there waiting for the birthday gift, was gone.

"Second, the son of the right prime minister Cao Ruyan, Cao Shangjin presents his birthday gift." Cao Shang is a very beautiful and not tall young man. His face is a little unnatural, and his hands are also a little trembling in his sleeves. It is probably the first time he has seen such a big occasion. There is no unrestrained and calmness of Lou Yunyu just now.

"Cao Shang presented it to your majesty... Well, it is a night pearl stone. Well, this stone is made naturally. It has not been artificially carved, and it is rich and natural... May my emperor live a long life."

After the jade was presented, the officials were all surprised. This kind of natural jade, and such a beautiful and transparent appearance, really made people feel that it was cherished and rare. The emperor played for a while and nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Cao Shang's face was embarrassed, he couldn't help trying to force him a few words. Cao Shang If you get an amnesty, you will go down immediately. Cao Ruyan frowned unsatisfiedly. The officials around him saw him and whispered, "Cao Xiang doesn't have to be like this. The prince is young. Your Majesty has just been very considerate to the prince, and he must have become a great weapon in the future."

Cao Ruyan said absent-mindedly. Because his son also wanted to give a birthday gift, he didn't pay much attention to the birthday gift, but worked hard on his son's birthday gift and thought about the emperor's preferences. He wanted to be novel and not too luxurious. With this scale, he chose this rare night from ten thousand miles. Pearl stone.

Sure enough, the emperor is very happy.

This is not a waste of his heart and effort.

Lou Yun Ni quietly pinched Lou Yunyu's sleeve under the stage, "Lao Si, where is Lou Yunshang? She is the direct daughter. Why are you the first to go up first? According to the concept that direct appearance is the most valuable, this gift of the Lou family should be first. But what about her people? Where did you go?

"Yunshang, she just had something to do and asked me to go up first." Lou Yunyu said it very easily, as if he had a cup of tea first, and then Lou Yunshang had another drink.

"The third daughter of former Prime Minister Lou Duo, Lou Yun Ni." When Lou Yunnian was still thinking about it, she heard someone talking about her name. She quickly went out, knelt in the moment, and held Yu Ruyi in her hands. "My minister, Lou Yunyi, give a birthday gift to my emperor, Bai Yu Ruyi fan, may my emperor..."

"Huh? Shouldn't this third princess still be imprisoned in a dark cage? How did she get out?

Lou Yun Ni's whole body is stiff there.

Who is

? Whose voice is this?

Everyone looked at the voice, but saw a woman in a solemn palace costume sitting under the emperor's seat with a teacup. Her hair was combed very high, her smooth forehead was exposed, and her eyebrows were hanging obliquely in her eyes, looking very smart and capable.

Lou Yun Ni doesn't know her, but her sister Lou Yunshang knows this person.

Lu Jin also looked up and took a look. Suddenly, his heart was half cold. Shit!

The person who used to speak is not someone else but the eldest princess Feng Ziqi! She had a holiday with Yunshang before.

Lu Jin wink at Lou Yunyu, who was standing beside him. Yun Yu didn't know the inside story, but he also understood the meaning of Lu Jin's eyes and became nervous.

Lou Yun Ni was speechless, that's right! She is still a substitute and should not be here at all!

She looked up with courage. Sure enough, when she saw the emperor looking at herself, the light in her eyes was no longer soft.

"Zi Wei, what's going on?"

"Father, this Lou Yunni was shortlisted for the palace ban last month and worked as a prince's companion at the Tai College, but she was stubborn and difficult to adjust. She was repeatedly late for class for no reason. That time, she dared to cross the palace wall and was caught by the patrol guards." Her voice was very sharp, very thin, very high, and the occasion was quiet. In this way, even many people who did not know the inside story knew the context of this matter.

When looking at Lou Yun Ni again, he couldn't help showing some contempt.

The daughter of a prime minister, who is still a princess, can actually do such a thing against the etiquette. To cross the palace wall without permission is to punish the crime of assassinating the king with the intention. He should be imprisoned in a dark cage and ready to wait for the verdict.

"Like you said, how did she appear here?" The emperor seems to be very interested in this issue.

Feng Ziqi smiled and said with a little pride, "This matter... My daughter doesn't know."

When she said this, her eyes fell on the second prince Feng Ziqi, who was still stable and dignified, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Sacrifice can no longer continue to preside over the sacrificial ceremony. On and off the stage, it fell into an embarrassing situation for a while.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say to Your Majesty." In the queue, a slightly hoarse female voice suddenly appeared. Everyone's eyes looked there one after another.

The person who came is dressed in neat clothes. There are not too many decorations on it, and there are not so many pearls and treasures. Instead, it shows her high temperament. A slap face, a sharp chin, and a pair of moist eyes are brewing with deep eyes, which is very out of tune with the childishness left on her face.

"Oh? What do you have to say?" The emperor knew the little girl who suddenly came to speak. He smiled and looked at the nervousness on her face. He suddenly felt interesting and leaned back. "I know you alone. You are Lou Yunshang, the fifth girl of Lou Duo."

Yunshang stared in surprise and subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, you actually recognize me!"

Duke Wei shouted in a shrill voice, "Bold!"

Yunshang quickly lowered his head. Indeed, it was a little rude to look directly at your majesty with his head up like this.

"Eh, you might as well, you look up and talk." The old emperor seemed to be particularly tolerant of her. You just said something to say. What is it? Let's talk about it. Well said, it's reasonable. I'll take it lightly to your sister.

Yunshang smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She cleared her throat and didn't look at Lou Yun Ni, who was kneeling next to her, and said, "The minister just heard the sacrificial master sing very well, but there were a few words, but the minister couldn't understand."

"What are the sentences?"

"It is to honor the emperor and play thick soil. Now there is a birthday ceremony for the birthday of the thirteenth generation of the king of our Dafeng Dynasty. The song is written in the article, to feel the protection of heaven's kindness, rain and dew, and the diligence of the four parties."

"Yellow and white orange, you can explain it to her." The emperor picked up the tea and took a sip.

Huang Baiju stood up and replied respectfully, "Yes," and then turned her head to the position of Yunshang and said, "The meaning of these words is that my Dafeng Dynasty treats the people with generosity, benevolence and righteousness governs the country, so the emperor's queen and earth, as well as the Buddhas and gods in the sky can be blessed and auspiciousness, and bless my Dafeng Dynasty. "

Yunshang bowed modestly, "Thank you, Huang Shishu, for your answer, but Yunshang doesn't think it's right."

The emperor seems to want to laugh, "Oh? What's wrong?"

"These words are all about God's favor for our Dafeng Dynasty, but according to Yunshang, the reason why God is so kind to the people of the Dafeng Dynasty is that your majesty has a broad mind, governs the country with a strict king's heart, and treats the people with a father's heart, so the old genius will be so auspicious to bless the Dafeng Dynasty. The minister thought that the father would forgive the mistakes made by his children, so the minister dared to speculate on the holy intention. Your Majesty, you did not intend to deal with your sister's guilt.

"When Yunshang looks at her sister's birthday gift today, she is more convinced of what she thinks."

"What does your sister's birthday gift say?" The corners of the emperor's eyes have been tattooed. Feng Ziqi couldn't help casting a strange look at her.

Looking at the emperor's look, Yunshang knew that he was right and had more confidence in his heart. He pointed to what Lou Yun Ni held in his hand and said, "Baiyu Ruyi fan, the color is snow-white and extremely transparent. Isn't it my sister's filial piety to your majesty?"

"Smart words and sophistry!" Feng Ziqi snorted coldly, looked obliquely, and said arrogantly, "Praise your sister's birthday gift so well. The princess asked you, where is your birthday gift?"

Yunshang waited for her words. After listening to it, she fell into her arms, smiled, turned sideways, and said to Xiangxiang, who had been preparing for a long time, "Please give me a birthday gift."

Xiangxiang holds a delicate fairy basket, but the shape looks like a lamp. This lamp is more than half the height of people, with a fiery red ribbon on it, and a huge word "Feng" is written on it.

Duke Wei took it and handed it to the emperor. The emperor looked inside and said, "Food?"

"Yes, it's food. People say that the people take food as heaven, and the country takes the earth as the foundation, and it is not the king's earth under the world. The grain on this earth should also come to celebrate your majesty's birthday. She stretched out her left hand and said, "Your Majesty, please open it layer by layer."

Only then did the old emperor find that the original lamp, and the upper, middle and lower three layers, each layer was opened, and the color of the exposed grain was different. Red is sorghum rice, yellow is corn kernels, white is rice, black is black rice, purple is mackeral rice, triangular cyan is buckwheat rice. In addition, there are several emperors who can't recognize clearly.

"Sure enough, it's ingenious. Does this birthday gift have a name? If such a good thing doesn't have an elegant name, wouldn't it be disappointing?" The emperor's eyes are already full of joy.

Yunshang turned around and said, "Your Majesty, there are names. Three or three are nine, nine or even respectable, so this must be dedicated to your majesty, and on this lamp, there is another word Feng, and the basket contains grains and miscellaneous grains, so the minister named it, Wugu Yufeng Lantern."

"What a grain Yufeng lantern!" The emperor patted the table. Obviously, he was very happy. He stood up and said to the building Yunshang, "At such a young age, you are so eloquent and think so quickly. Your birthday gift is very suitable for you. You are the king of real birthday gifts. From today on, you will also come to the palace to read with you. As for your sister, she is innocent and pardoned.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." While Yunshang bent down, she showed a cunning smile. Her first step was a success.
