Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

The whole world belongs to Lu Chen, and Qiao Jinniang really can't think of a good birthday gift for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said: "Think about it, what do I want?"

Qiao Jinniang, after thinking about it carefully, she finally thought of one.

Two days ago, she made a rag doll for Ang'er to play with. Lu Chen kept staring at the rag doll.

The stuffed tiger given to Lu Chen last time was also stained by Zhou Sisi.

She has never made another one for Lu Chen.

However, I am afraid it will be too late to make a tiger stuffed doll at this time, and I will have to stay up late to embroider.

Qiao Jinniang pushed Lu Chen and said, "Go back and read the brochure first. When it's your birthday, I'll make sure you're satisfied with your birthday gift."

Lu Chen frowned slightly. Fortunately, she had always complained that she didn't understand the style. Lu Chen felt that the person who couldn't understand the style the most was Qiao Jinniang.

He deliberately took a break from court for three days just to take Qiao Jinniang out of the palace to celebrate the birthdays of only two of them, without Xi'er and Ang'er having a lot of official matters...

But right now, she was either busy with the banquet or cooking the dishes. It was obvious that people from the Ministry of Etiquette and the Shang Palace Bureau were doing all this, so she didn’t have to do it herself!

…

On the day of the longevity banquet.

When all nations come to court, all kinds of birthday gifts are brought to the palace one after another.

All civil and military officials and their families also entered the palace to congratulate them, and it was very lively with the sound of rituals and music.

On the stage of the banquet, the actors from the Jiaofang Division also performed eighteen kinds of dances, and the graceful dances and music also circled the beams for three days to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday.

Lu Chen's expression was not very good this morning, and Qiao Jinniang didn't know what was wrong with him.

The envoys from small countries who came to celebrate his birthday trembled a little when they saw His Majesty Datang's face...

I don't know if my small country has offended His Majesty Datang and doubled the tribute gifts one after another.

After the banquet started, all the palace people filed in and placed the dishes one by one in front of the envoys, ministers and their families.

Everyone found that today's palace banquet was very different from usual ones.

Because there is no room for error in palace banquets, the dishes are usually prepared well in advance for hundreds of people to attend the banquet. They must be exquisite and flawless, so most of the dishes are served cold or have been cold. .

Most of today's dishes are warm, and the dishes are not unusual or can go wrong.

After the maids served the dishes, there was a menu on the side. The dishes were exquisite and delicious.

But any lady who has held a banquet in the mansion knows that it is almost impossible to hold such a banquet.

"I wish your Majesty long life, long live, long live, long live."

After the banquet started, Qiao Jinniang was the first to stand up and toast Lu Chen.

Lu Chen took the wine from Qiao Jinniang's hand, drank it all and said, "How many days have you been busy with the birthday ceremony?"

Qiao Jinniang lowered her voice and said, "Are you sure you want to give you a birthday gift here?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not?"

He wanted to see how far Qiao Jinniang could go without understanding amorous feelings.

Qiao Jinniang ordered Hongling to get the birthday gift.

Anyuanhou also led the ministers to toast Lu Chen and celebrate his birthday. Starting from Anyuanhou, everyone presented birthday gifts one after another.

It is not easy to give a birthday gift to His Majesty. Firstly, it must not be too wealthy. Secondly, it must not be wealthy. Thirdly, it is necessary to figure out His Majesty's wishes.

It can be said to be even more difficult. If you present it well, you will be happy with His Majesty. If you don't present it well, you will be laughed at. The most important thing is to be disliked by His Majesty.

Many officials also let their daughters perform performances. Performing performances to celebrate birthdays is the safest way.

When it was the Hong family's turn, I saw Hong Qifeng taking all kinds of fabrics, books and some wheat.

Lu Chen asked: "What are these?"

Everyone was also curious as to why Hong Qifeng brought out so many strange things at His Majesty's birthday banquet.

Hong Qifeng said: "This is a birthday gift from me to His Majesty, and it is also a birthday gift from all the female families in the world who have inherited the family business to His Majesty.

This cloth was the first batch of Shu brocade woven by the daughter of the Gan family after inheriting the family business. It was all robbed as soon as it arrived in Chang'an.

This book is the first batch of shipbuilding records printed by the daughter of the He family in Chang'an when she took over the bookstore...

Also, these rice grains were sown by female households in the rural areas of Chang'an who had just received relief fields. In a few months, they will be golden wheat..."

Lu Chen finally showed his first smile of the day, "Your gift is my favorite."

Hong Qifeng also smiled slightly and said, "As long as your Majesty likes it."

After all the ministers gave birthday gifts.

Fu Lu looked at Qiao Jinniang and said, "What birthday gift did the Queen give to His Majesty? Why don't you show it to us?"

Qiao Jinniang took the box handed over by Hong Ling and saw a white jade hair crown inside.

Qiao Jinniang took out the white jade hair crown and said, "This is the white jade hair crown that I gave to Your Majesty."

Fortunately, Hongling was smart and didn't bring the tiger puppet, otherwise she would have been completely embarrassed.

Lu Chen frowned when he saw the white jade hair crown, and looked deeply at Qiao Jinniang. Qiao Jinniang actually saw grievance in Lu Chen's eyes...

The ministers below were all discussing in low voices.

Mrs. Lin said to Mrs. Hong: "Your Majesty has been frowning since he received the gift from the empress. He has not been smiling today...

On the contrary, he smiled when he saw Qifeng's gift, which shows that Qifeng has won His Majesty's heart. "

Mrs. Hong just smiled lightly, and Hong Qifeng continued: "Your Majesty is also happy because the people are living a better life."

Mrs. Lin said: "Your Majesty and your Majesty have always been in love with each other, but now your Majesty seems to be annoyed with your Majesty..."

Mrs. Qiao Er also whispered to Zheng Xiao that the emperor and empress seemed to have had a quarrel.

Zheng Xiao was worried about Qiao Jinniang. Qiao Jinniang's gift was indeed inappropriate.

Even the birthday gift given by the little girl from the Renhong family was much more thoughtful than that given by Qiao Jinniang.

Mrs. Qiao Er said: "Sister-in-law, you should also try to persuade Jin Niang to stop being so petty. Then it's your Majesty who you are."

Zheng Xiao thought that he would talk to Qiao Jinniang after the palace banquet was over.

…

After the banquet, in Changle Palace.

Qiao Jinniang followed Lu Chen into the hall, and she said angrily, "Lu Chen, I don't want to quarrel with you today on your birthday, but what have you been causing trouble these days?

I gave you a congratulatory gift, but after receiving it, you didn’t even smile in front of the officials? "

When the maids heard this, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. Hong Ling wanted to come forward to persuade her, but she didn't dare...

Lu Chen waved his hand and asked the palace maids and chamberlains to go down, and asked Qiao Jinniang:

"So you still know that it's my birthday? When you were in Lin'an, you would solemnly prepare birthday gifts for me, but now? Where are you sending the white jade hair crown to the beggar?"

"I took a three-day bath. I originally wanted to take you and the two of you out of the palace to play in the Hot Spring Palace for a day to celebrate your birthday in advance, but what about you? Are you busy preparing the dishes for the longevity banquet, or are you avoiding me?

You said you were hiding from me to prepare a birthday gift for me. This white jade hair crown is the birthday gift you have been preparing for many days? "

Qiao Jinniang finally understood Lu Chen's awkwardness.

Outside Changle Palace, Zheng Xiao came to see Qiao Jinniang, but saw Hongling and others being kicked out by His Majesty.

Zheng Xiao stepped forward and asked Hongling. Hongling only said that His Majesty was very angry, and Zheng Xiao was extremely anxious.

Hongling couldn't go in to pass the message, so Zheng Xiao had to leave the palace gate first.

Mrs. Lin saw Zheng Xiao with a sad face outside the palace gate, and felt happy.
