Empress work daily

Chapter 265 Longevity Festival

Ji Qiang was overjoyed. Qin Sangluo's memorabilia mentioned that the construction work would be intensified after this spring, and he might not be able to get away during the Longevity Festival, so he first offered a congratulatory gift, and then a letter of guilt.

Unexpectedly, when he came to him, he still returned to Beijing.

Not seeing each other for half a year, Qin Sangluo is a few years older again, with a stooped body, really no different from an old man.

Ji Qiang turned a blind eye to the memorial presented by him, stared at him for a long time before saying: "Why bother to force yourself here, don't leave after the Longevity Festival, rest in the capital and take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

"In half a year at most, the Dajiang Canal will be able to communicate with the east and west. Once the east-west project is completed, it will be able to communicate with the north and the south. At that time, even if your majesty doesn't say anything, I will have the cheek to ask your majesty to return to Beijing to recuperate for a while."

"Why don't you just rest here?" Ji Qiang couldn't understand his stubbornness.

Qin Sangluo pointed to the sky outside and said: "The plan for a year lies in spring. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, your majesty will let the minister rest, but the minister will not be able to rest. Don't worry, your majesty, this year is autumn, and the minister will definitely take leave to recuperate. At that time, I can still enter the palace to chat with His Majesty, so don't think I'm too wordy."

In one word, Ji Qiang was filled with emotion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Sangluo took a deep look at Ji Qiang. Ji Qiang thought he had something to say, but he got up and left.

"There is no canal in Beijing to be repaired, why is Qing in such a hurry?"

One sentence made Qin Sangluo joke, and he replied with a smile: "It's the Longevity Festival, and His Majesty should have many things to arrange, so I won't delay His Majesty, and when the Longevity Festival is over, I will leave two days later, and then I will have a good talk with Your Majesty." say."

"Alright." Ji Qiang personally sent him outside the door, looking at the hunched body and slightly awkward steps, Ji Qiang felt sore in his heart.

She noticed this last year and made a lot of arrangements, but she couldn't stand not being around or being disobedient, so she had to do everything herself.Especially for engineering matters, Qin Sangluo is not willing to be sloppy at all.

Ji Qiang stood there for a long time, and made up his mind that when Qin Sangluo came back in autumn this year, he would definitely not let him go.As for the river channel connecting the north and the south, it must be repaired by someone else.

……

Three days later, Longevity Day.

The royal family held a state banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Before the banquet began, civil and military officials, princes and state herdsmen from all over the country arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in advance, and waited for the monarch in two lines.

The situation was very similar to Ji Qiang's participation in the first court meeting, especially when she got off the imperial court and saw the immortals coming from a distance, and the national teacher also attended in full dress.

Jiang Jian walked up to Ji Qiang, just like that day, stretched out his hand, and said naturally: "Your Majesty, I will accompany you to the table."

Ji Qiang put his hand on his wrist and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony side by side.

Jiang Jian sent Ji Qiang to the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, strode back to the line of courtiers, and took the lead in saying: "I wish my emperor a long life without bounds!"

There is no such step in the pre-preparation process.

The officials were only stunned for a moment, and then followed Jiang Jian to congratulate Ji Qiang, and the three shouts of long live resounded through the sky.

Ji Qiang opened his hands wide, and asked all the officials to excuse him, and then led everyone into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where they were seated.

At the bottom of the dragon case, on the left are the kings of southern Yunnan, the kings of Jiaodong, the kings of Ji, the Marquis of Zhennan, and the Marquis of Northwest.On the right hand side, headed by the national teacher, followed by Princess Yan, King Wuling, Duke Qin, Duke Song, Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Anding and other ministers of humerus.

There are eight rows of banquets on the left and right of the huge Hall of Supreme Harmony. Not only is every inch of land expensive, but there are no seats.

The king of southern Yunnan, Polygonum multiflorum, came from a long way, and was born in a wild land, so he didn't know much about court rules.After sitting down for a while, he directly raised his glass to congratulate Ji Qiang on his birthday. The birthday speech took a lot of thought, and the words were as gorgeous as flowers.

"The minister brings wedding wine for His Majesty, wishing happiness and harmony with the sky. The birthday star comes to present flat peaches and fruits, and the sun, moon and stars shine together. The sky is full of auspicious light, and it is destined to be listed as a fairy. Celebrate every year, and the years are like songs Yan Yi."

"Hahahaha..." The officials burst into laughter, and the laughter almost sent the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony flying off.

Ji Qiang raised his glass and smiled at Polygonum multiflorum, the king of southern Yunnan who could only ask An Zhezi: "Your Majesty, how are you?"

It was really difficult for him to memorize such a long birthday speech smoothly.

"Good words! You must keep them, and you will present them on the day of the national teacher's birthday."

The ministers laughed again, but it wasn't true, the sentence in the birthday speech "The sky is startled by auspicious light, destined to be listed as an immortal." For the national teacher, it couldn't be more appropriate.

He Shouwu didn't quite understand, Ji Qiang couldn't avoid his embarrassment, and raised his glass with a smile: "Excuse me!"

When you're done, drink it up.

Polygonum multiflorum was overjoyed, he was the first to raise a glass to His Majesty to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, he did not expect His Majesty to be so generous, Polygonum multiflorum drank three glasses in excitement, his face flushed with excitement.

King Jiaodong followed closely.

Ji Qiang didn't like King Jiaodong who had lived in Qingzhou for generations.Years ago, the imperial court issued school inspector orders to various places, but Yanzhou ignored them.Later, Li Changheng went to various places to inspect schools, and the first stop he chose was Yanzhou.The reason is that Li Changheng went to Qingzhou after the school inspector in Yanzhou improved.

Although Li Changheng repeatedly mentioned the difficulties of the local environment in Qingzhou and his uncivilized thinking, the process of inspecting the school was very slow, hundreds of times slower than that in Yanzhou.However, Ji Qiang was sure that it was impossible for King Jiaodong to do all of this.

This family has gradually lived a life of "hiding their names" since their ancestors. They have always supported the government's decrees verbally, but when they are turned into actions, they must be slack and change. Typically speaking is better than singing.

Everyone knows that the King of Jiaodong has had a gloomy face since the day he entered the capital. Today is a state banquet, and this man's face can only be described as a little better.

Many people have long been dissatisfied with King Jiaodong.

Ji Qiang received the congratulatory speech from King Jiaodong, and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

When King Ji saw this situation, he hesitated.If you continue to pay respects like this, your majesty must be drunk in less than half a circle.But disrespectful, it's his turn.

King Ji is not the only one who has this idea.

King Ji and the others were thinking of a compromise, only to hear King Jiaodong say again: "I heard that the national teacher can call the wind and rain, and can communicate with gods and ghosts in heaven and earth. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see the supernatural power today?"

The officials were shocked, and immediately sullen, this King of Jiaodong is too presumptuous, dare to provoke the national teacher!

Jiang Jian raised his glass with a smile, and said to Ji Qiang and all the ministers: "I intended to be the first to congratulate His Majesty, but I never thought that I would be robbed of the limelight by you and others."

The Diannan King stood up nervously, he really didn't think so much.I have been thinking about those awkward birthday words repeatedly all the way, in line with the principle of saying it early so as not to forget the words, so I rushed to say it first.

Jiang Jian signaled Polygonum multiflorum to sit down, and continued: "Just now, I was just joking with you. It's just a small appetizer. How can we have a big meal?"

After speaking, Jiang Jian cast spells in public, and immediately the wonderful music of silk and bamboo orchestras appeared in everyone's ears. In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the light suddenly brightened by three points, and auspicious clouds appeared in the sky above the hall, and everyone exclaimed.

Then, a hundred birds entered and a phoenix came, wandered around the hall, and danced in front of Ji Qiang.

Everyone was indulging in it, when suddenly a thunder exploded in the sky, which shocked everyone who was indulging in the peaceful atmosphere, but saw a green dragon roaring towards...
