Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 123 Birthday Ceremony

After the banquet went on for a little while, after watching the singing and dancing, Lord Kangxi also felt a little boring.

In previous years, most of the singing, dancing and birthday programs were the same, and there was really nothing new.After a long time, I became a little bored.

Below, the prince saw the expressions of everyone on the stage.Finally, after the song and dance ended, he took this opportunity to walk forward and knelt in the center.

The elder brother turned his attention to the prince almost instantly.

Last time, the prince did this to marry Tong Jia Xili.This time, I don't know what I want to do by standing up like this!
Thinking of this, Big Brother couldn't help feeling a little more apprehensive.

"My son carefully prepared a gift for Grandmother Taihuang, and I took this opportunity to present it. I hope Grandmother Taihuang will like it."

The prince's face was full of gentle smiles, and his grace and poise as a prince were undoubtedly revealed.The true feelings revealed in the eyes are indeed full of filial piety to the Empress Dowager.

It's just...

Elder brother and princesses all need to prepare gifts on such a day.But in fact, they are usually sent to the Compassion Ning Palace privately.

Sending it off in front of everyone with such a big fanfare really seems a bit high-profile.

But this also shows another thing - that is, the prince's gift must be available and able to calm the scene.

Lord Kangxi smiled and looked at the prince below, then turned his head to look at the empress dowager and said: "The prince is very filial, so let the emperor take a look."

With Lord Kangxi's words, the Empress Dowager would naturally not express any objection.Immediately nodded, and also had a bit of anticipation about what gift the crown prince would give.

Seeing the prince clapping his hands, a little eunuch came in carrying something.

The gift is covered with a curtain.Although I couldn't see clearly what was inside, I could see that the gift was as tall as half a person.

And the four powerful eunuchs who were carrying the things were all cautious, and they could tell by looking at it that it was something expensive and unusual that the prince had found.

"let it go."

As the prince said, the eunuch vigorously put the things on the ground.

"I searched hard for several months, and finally found such a white jade Guanyin statue." The crown prince said: "Grandmother always likes to pay respects to Buddha, this statue of Guanyin is very suitable for grandma."

After all, the prince lifted the curtain, revealing the white jade Guanyin statue inside.

The carving of the white jade Guanyin is very meticulous, almost natural.Guanyin's expression is also lifelike, and one can feel the full sense of majesty and the Holy Spirit when looking at it from a distance.

"His Royal Highness, this white jade Guanyin statue is extremely rare, and I'm afraid it took a lot of thought."

When Prince Yu saw it, he couldn't help but be full of praise and said: "There is also one in my concubine's mansion, but compared with this one, it's nothing compared to this one."

As soon as this was said, everyone in the banquet was full of praise for the prince.

"The most important thing in giving a gift is your heart."

At this time, Eldest Brother suddenly said: "I think, the people under the second brother really spent a lot of effort to find this Guanyin statue, right?"

These words are full of overtones.

It means that the prince is just an order, and the people who are busy are the people looking for things below.But the prince himself did not pay too much thought.

At most... it's just a lip service.

The prince turned his head slightly to look at the elder brother, then took out a string of beads and said: "I also prepared a string of tourmaline beads. It complements this white jade Guanyin."

A total of 99 tourmaline beads are inlaid together to form a string of beads.

Tourmalines are rare, and even finer ones are even rarer.The most rare thing is that the crown prince's string of tourmaline beads is very round and polished to a normal size.

It would take at least several years of manpower and material resources to make such a string of beads.

"Before the son brought the beads, he specially sent them to the temple for consecration. He also went to the temple every day to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and put his full wishes on the beads."

...

In this way, the prince's intentions were revealed.

It is indeed not easy for the prince of a country to chant scriptures and pray on the 49th of July.

The elder brother gritted his teeth and realized that he couldn't pick any more thorns, so he shut his mouth angrily.

however…

The prince didn't seem to intend to expose the elder brother's doubts about him, but asked curiously: "I don't know, what is the gift that the elder brother prepared?"

The elder brother glared at the prince, gritted his teeth, and ordered someone to bring up the birthday gift he had prepared.

It was also a gift wrapped in a curtain, but the elder brother's was much smaller.

"Hey? Brother, what's in it? Why does it look so small?"

However, a wooden box with broad shoulders naturally looks small compared to the white jade Guanyin statue, which is half a person tall.These words can be regarded as the prince's provocation to the elder brother.

Open the box, inside is the statue of the Three Immortals of Fu Lu Shou.Carved from a whole piece of red sandalwood, it is also considered extremely precious.

嗏

Compared with the prince's gift, it naturally looks inferior.

After the banquet, the princes and princesses who were present presented their birthday presents one by one, and displayed them in front of everyone.

With the prince's "jewel" in front, those gifts behind are naturally not surprising.

Only Yinzhen's Longevity and Boundless Map, and Yinzuo and Wen Xian's birthday gifts seem to be eye-catching and have been praised by the Queen Mother.The rest is just a formality.

All of a sudden, the crown prince became so popular that he almost became the focus of everyone present.

Many people praised the prince's filial piety and hard work.But they also know that the prince has many advantages to do all this, which is unmatched by others.

Wen Xian, who was sitting at the bottom, gritted his teeth and was very dissatisfied. He said angrily, "It's true that things are precious, but if it's really about what you want, it's not necessarily so!"

Wen Xian's birthday gift to the Empress Dowager was hundreds of Buddhist scriptures copied by himself.It took more than a month, and the handwriting was neat and round.

Moreover, Wen Xian deliberately made the characters slightly larger when copying.The reason is to hope that the Empress Dowager will not have to work so hard when reading Buddhist scriptures.

Such a mind is really rare.

"Forget it." Seeing this, Yin Zuo could only comfort Wen Xian and said, "Second brother's gift is both precious and full of heart, so it's hard to say that."

With the prince's one-sided words, it is indeed full of heart.

Although they do not know, in fact, is not the case.

Speaking of which...

When Wen Xian glanced past Tong Jia Xili, he suddenly thought of something.

correct!

Tong Jia Xili's picture of a hundred birds facing the Phoenix!

In terms of intentions, Wen Xian is confident that her shock when she saw the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix can already explain everything.
