Chapter 450
"Okay." Han Chai actually didn't understand anything, but she was very obedient, and she answered whatever Han Jin said.

Han Yu next to her saw her, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't know how my aunt's illness is. It's so pitiful that Chai'er can't see her mother at such a young age."

"Aren't we still taking care of the family?" Han Jin glanced at Han Yu, "Mother is not here, so will Chai'er be wronged?"

"Sister, sister hug!" Han Chai opened his arms towards Han Jin in the nurse's arms.

Han Jin smiled and opened his arms: "Come on, sister hug."

The nanny handed Han Chai to Han Jin, and said with a smile: "Big girl, you can hold it for a while, and our third girl has grown up again in the past few days."

"I know." Han Jin shook Han Chai in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's really heavy again! I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it after the New Year."

"Come give me a hug." Han Yu stepped forward and said with a smile, "After the New Year, I may really not be able to hold you anymore."

"Slow down!" Han Jin handed the little sister to the second sister.

"Oh, it's really heavy!" Han Yu, who was in his teens, was struggling to hold Han Chai, who was two years old.

"Okay, girls, don't be like this, let's be hugged by the slaves." The nanny watched anxiously, and finally hugged Xiao Hanchai back.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, there is an important festival that has not been taken seriously.It was Longevity Day, the birthday of Lord Longevity.

In previous years, there was either one thing or the other. Last year's Longevity Day was not celebrated because Yun Shuo, the eldest princess, passed away, which made Han Qian unhappy. The emperor did not have a good Longevity Day.

There was nothing going on in the harem this year, so Han Qian wanted to give Yun Shuo Zhang Luo a special Longevity Day.

"The emperor's brother has practiced in the army since he was a child, and he definitely likes riding and archery more than poetry and poetry, so we will prepare a riding and archery program for this Longevity Day." Han Qian said to Sun Defu.

Sun Defu hurriedly replied: "Hey, if you want to compete in riding and archery, then we have to go to Nanyuan. The riding and shooting range in Nanyuan has just been renovated a while ago. It is new and spacious. It is most suitable for holding riding and archery competitions."

"Then arrange the Longevity Festival to Nanyuan. Anyway, it's the end of the year, and everyone has nothing to do. It's okay to go to Nanyuan for a few days." Han Qian laughed.

"Empress, now there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are taken care of by Mr. Lu in the cabinet. Regarding the birthday of Lord Long Live, do you have to ask Mr. Lu to come up with a charter?" Sun Defu asked with a smile.

After Han Qian heard this, the smile on his face gradually froze, and he glanced at Sun Defu coldly, "Why, it's not enough to have my palace in charge, do I have to call that dead old man to add trouble? What's the matter with him on Long Live's birthday?" Son?"

"Your Majesty said so." Sun Defu persuaded with a smile on his face, "Long Live God naturally likes your Majesty to host this birthday banquet, but... Long Live God's birthday is also a state affair, and all ministers in the court should also come to congratulate, so many Messy things, how tired are you, Madam? Long live God will definitely feel distressed. "

Han Qian nodded: "That's right. This old man is so idle, he's been thinking of some reason to deal with Ben Gong all day long. Why doesn't Ben Gong find something for him to do?"

"The empress is wise." Sun Defu replied with a smile. That guy Lu Haoran is like a stone on the edge of a latrine—it's smelly and hard!It's time to give him some ugly looks.

The empress ordered that the cabinet minister Lu Haoran be fully responsible for the emperor's birthday, and said: the emperor has not had a good birthday in the 12 years since he ascended the throne, and this year the emperor will become a father, so this birthday must be celebrated well.

Lu Haoran wanted to laugh and cry when he received the Queen's order.

He wanted to laugh because such an honorable matter fell on his shoulders, and he should perform well to repay the emperor for his kindness for so many years.

What I want to cry is that the empress asked him to come to organize this birthday banquet without giving a penny, and because the household department has been regulating the river for the past few years, he has already sung an empty city plan, so where did he go to get money for the emperor? Longevity?

In the study in Mr. Lu's mansion, Lu Haoran was running around in a hurry, and the staff in front of him were also scratching their heads and scratching their heads. There was no good way to do it.

Like his father, Lu Haoran is a man who will die with pride. He has been an official for so many years and has not saved much money. The staff in front of him are just poor scholars who have been studying for many years and failed to pass the exam. Being a staff member is nothing more than trying to make a living.

However, it is true that these few people are poor, and they can give Lu Haoran some advice at critical times.

"Dong Weng, this matter is not a personal matter. There is no money in the household department. You can ask the empress to ask for it! There must be money in the inner treasury. The empress receives gifts from ministers every year and festival. Moreover, the Han family used to Giving her so much dowry..."

"Also, the Royal Navigation Guard hand over five million taels of silver to the inner treasury every year. This is the private money of the emperor and empress. You can give the emperor a decent Longevity Festival if you take it out. .”

"The empress entrusted this matter to me just to let me find a way. How can I open my mouth to ask the empress for money?!" Lu Haoran stomped his neck.

"But, for the Emperor's Longevity Day, why do ministers have to find ways to get money?"

"Your Majesty doesn't want the ministers to get money, but the money from the household department."

"However, Yao Yanyi has always been in charge of the household department. He claims to be sick at home these days, and the household department has been leaderless for more than half a year..."

"How do you say that? Yao Yanyi handed over the affairs of the household department to Mr. Dong Weng when he went home to recover from his illness." After the aide finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Lu Haoran.I know it's a bit inappropriate to say this, but—it's the truth.

"Then what do you say? Your Majesty's Longevity Day is less than a month away, so we must make up our minds as soon as possible."

"Longevity... Wanshou..." A staff member tapped his fingers on the table and suddenly said, "Yes! Aren't we going to arrange singing and dancing for the emperor on Wanshou? We can make good use of this matter, whose daughter If you want to show your face in front of the emperor and ask him to bring some money, let's arrange for her to go there."

"That's a good idea of ​​yours."

"It's hard to say, with the domineering and domineering appearance of the empress, whoever takes a second look at the emperor will just give it to someone else to be a concubine! With the previous five beauties as examples, who's girl would dare to approach the emperor now? "Another staff member shook his head again and again.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Actually, the first thing we should contact is Dingbei Hou's Mansion, Gao Mansion, Luan Mansion, and Shao Mansion."

"Are you okay? Contact these companies? They..."

Lu Haoran suddenly made a decision: "That's it, you split up and contact Dingbei Hou's Mansion, Gao Mansion, and Shao Mansion. I don't need it. I don't like Shao Xilan's deadly character. Luan Mansion...let's contact Jia. Princess Lan Zhang."
