Chapter 454 Birthday Ceremony! (3)
"Yes... Thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Zhang Ruixiang kowtowed repeatedly.

"Go away, I'm angry when I see you." Han Qian scolded angrily.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Ruixiang kowtowed and rolled away.

Han Qian sighed softly, then turned to ask Sun Defu who had just entered the door: "How is things going?"

"Go back to Madam, people have already arrived. Madam can go over."

"Okay, let's go." Han Qian got up and went out through the back door of Guanju Palace.

The night before the Wanshou Festival, Yun Shuo rushed from the imperial palace to the Nanyuan Palace, entered the Guanju Palace, and found that there were not many people here, and after entering the palace, he found that the house was also deserted, only Apple was staying with the nanny and the princess Gossip in the inner sanctum.

"Where's the queen?" Yun Shuo asked with a frown.

Pingguo'er and the others were startled, and hurriedly got up to salute: "Your Majesty, servant, return to Your Majesty, the empress has gone to arrange for His Majesty's birthday banquet."

"It's so late and you haven't come back? It's just a birthday banquet, why is it so hard?!" Yun Shuo frowned dissatisfied, turned and walked out.

"Your Majesty." Pingguo'er rushed forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty will be back in a quarter of an hour. Your Majesty is in a hurry. Let's wait with a cup of hot tea first." If it were someone else, the emperor would drag him out and kill him with a stick.

"Your Majesty, calm down, she, isn't she..." Qianye looked at the emperor's gloomy face, and hurriedly stepped forward to intercede for his woman.

"Okay, shut up, let's all go out." Yun Shuo waved his hand impatiently, and drove Qianye and the eight guards away.

Before going out, Qianye gave Apple a wink, telling her to be careful.

Ping Ping'er knew that the emperor must be unhappy at the moment, this unhappiness may be due to some government affairs, of course, it is more because he has not seen the empress for more than ten days, the emperor is really upset.

"Your Majesty, this is the lily and lotus seed porridge that the empress asked her servants to prepare before she went out. You can use some first. The empress will be back soon." Pingguo'er took the tray from the maid and put the blue and white porcelain bowl by the emperor's hand .

Lily, clearing heat and moistening dryness, invigorating qi and clearing heart-fire, eliminating restlessness, appetizing.Lotus seeds, nourish the heart and calm the nerves, clear heat and nourish the kidneys, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the essence, and nourish the five internal organs.

This is the most beneficial porridge for Your Majesty.Apple muttered silently in her heart.

Yun Shuo naturally didn't want to eat porridge, but Pingguo'er said it was prepared by the empress, so he sat down patiently and ate it mouthful.

When the bowl of porridge bottomed out, Han Qian really came back.

"Has your Majesty come?" Han Qian asked as soon as she entered the door, before anyone could reply, she had already looked up and saw him, so she smiled and went forward and bent down in front of Yun Shuo, looking closely into his eyes, He smiled lightly, "Brother Emperor, you are here."

It was already the face that haunted her dreams, but it was different from the past, her eyes that were originally shining like stars became brighter, her small face was flushed by the cold wind, but her body was faintly steaming.

Looking at her riding outfit again, Yun Shuo brushed her cheek with his hand, and sighed softly: "Did you go out to ride a horse in such a cold day?"

"Hmm." Han Qian nodded vigorously, admitting generously, but didn't explain why he went riding alone in winter.

"Are you tired?" Yun Shuo didn't worry too much about riding a horse, he only cared about her body.

"Not tired." Han Qian smiled.

Yun Shuo raised his beautiful long eyebrows, and said solemnly: "Okay, I can ask for a birthday gift that night."

Han Qian slowly figured out the so-called birthday gift, her cheeks turned even redder, she raised her hand and pushed him away, and said with a smile, "No, I can't make trouble tonight, and I have to get up early tomorrow! If you delay the business, you can call the civil and military officials joke."

Yun Shuo looked at the deep algae well on the roof and sighed long: "Why do I look so good at their faces on my birthday? It's really... Sigh!"

"Okay! I'm hungry, let's eat first." Han Qian stretched out his hand to pull Yunshuo up, and then told Apple next to him, "Tell them to pass the meal."

Han Qian pays attention to health preservation. Since Yan Wenzhen entered the palace, every soup, dish, and even every ingredient in her meals has been selected on the basis of health preservation. Dinner should not be too much, greasy, or meticulously prepared.So tonight's dinner is a few cold dishes plus grain porridge. Taking into account the emperor's eating habits, Yan Wenzhen prepared a winter melon cup and a plate of shrimp dumplings.

Yun Shuo looked at the food and sighed again: "It's my birthday..."

"It's not here yet. Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday." Han Qian took the chopsticks and stuffed them into Yun Shuo's hands, "Tomorrow there will be a lot of delicious food, I guarantee the emperor will like it."

Yun Shuo took the chopsticks with a smile, and put a shrimp dumpling into his mouth—well, although there is no meat, the taste is really good. I have been eating the meals made by those idiots in the palace these days. So depressing.

The next day Han Qian got up before dawn, glanced at the emperor who was still sleeping, Han Qian smiled and tucked the quilt for him, turned around and got out of bed to freshen up.

While she was combing her hair, the emperor also woke up.Putting on his outer robe and getting out of bed, the emperor was not in a hurry to wash his face and rinse his mouth, but he walked behind Han Qian and looked at her in the mirror, who was putting on her morning makeup, and smiled lightly, "Did you sleep well last night? You look pretty good."

"Yeah." Han Qian looked back at him and said with a light smile, "Go and wash up, the ministers will be here soon."

"I'm over my birthday, do I still need to look at their faces?" Yun Shuo snorted childishly, and turned to wash his face.

Han Qian and Pingguoer looked at each other, and said in a low voice, "What do you think is going on? You're almost [-], and you look like a child."

Apple shook her head, she didn't dare to comment on the emperor.

After a simple breakfast, the two went to the Yong'an Hall to accept the worship of civil and military officials. There were hundreds of people in total including the Prince Hou Bo, the civil and military ministers, and the imperial wives. passed.

At the third moment, His Majesty gave a banquet to the plum forest in Nanyuan.Everyone followed the emperor and empress to leave Yong'an Palace for Meilin.

The plum forest is the most exquisite one in Nanyuan Palace. There are hundreds of plum blossoms planted here. The plum blossoms are planted on the basis of the rockery, with the mountain behind and the sun facing the sun. Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, sitting among the plum blossoms and drinking wine will not feel too cold .

After sitting down, Yun Shuo watched the dishes being served one after another, and his cold, gloomy face finally warmed up gradually, showing a trace of warmth.

The banquet was carefully prepared by Chef Yan Wenzhen. From desserts to soups, everything was exquisite and catered to the emperor's taste.Of course, in order to take into account today's seasonal climate, several main courses are served in exquisite earthen pots, and a small stove is set below to simmer to ensure that the dishes will not be cold.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lu arranged singing and dancing and riding and shooting today. In order to toast, let's watch the singing and dancing first?" Han Qian asked with a smile.
