Chapter 1188: People are just out of courtesy

So Ruoyin followed the crowd and got up to salute.
The next moment, Si Ye wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
And the queen mother who was wearing a deep purple flower-patterned flag dress, both entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After the Fourth Master and the Queen Mother sat down in the upper room, they dignifiedly said to the inside and outside of the hall: "Today is the Queen Mother's Longevity Day. You don't need to be polite, just congratulate the Queen Mother in a lively birthday."
Here, some older emperors and empress dowagers passed their lives, also known as the Longevity Day.
Then, the queen mother smiled and said: "Get up all the time."
"Xie Emperor, Queen Mother." Ruoyin got up with everyone and took a seat.
Immediately after the servants in the Imperial Dining Room, they began to offer Manchu specialties.
For example: crispy fried pie, small glutinous rice cake, big glutinous rice cake, red and white glutinous rice sticks, dried fruit, fresh fruit, animal meat and wine, etc.
After the imperial dining room had arranged all meals, a group of opera singers came in in the center of the hall.
As the longevity dramas finished singing, the sound of whip whistling sounded outside.
Then, the people inside and outside the hall rose up again, and saluted the queen dowager above the head, "I wish the queen dowager good life and health, longevity!"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be polite." The queen mother said in a gentle and charming manner.
After everyone was seated again, the Fourth Master said in a majestic manner: "The Queen Mother’s Longevity Day is just around the corner, and I have ordered the temples to chant sutras for the Queen Mother, and personally copied the scriptures to offer them. In addition, during the Longevity Day, civilian slaughter is forbidden, and the court prohibits beheading. Criminal offender............"
In short, the Queen Mother's birthday is mainly organized around the eight characters of "Celebrate the whole world, the world is amnesty".
It also shows that the status of the queen mother in the dynasty should not be underestimated.
After Si Ye finished speaking, some guards and minions brought in many delicate boxes.
Su Peisheng spread out a bright yellow paper with birthday gifts from the Fourth Master to the Queen Mother. He screamed: "The emperor presents all the best hairpins, Jingfu long hairpins, and Wannian lucky hairpins to the queen mother. A..."
"As well as Wanshou Sea House's additional glass inserts, Wanshou gilt-inlaid collection of brocade treasure tripods, Wanshou enamel square Ping'an flower statue, natural Ganoderma lucidum and birthday peach plate..."
Just reciting these, Su Peisheng chanted for nearly a cup of tea.
As the emperor, Si Ye was not in harmony with the Queen Mother, but she was always such an emperor in this life.
Even if there is a barrier in my heart, it would break the bones and tendons.
Plus the whole life is only once every ten years.
Therefore, regardless of his actions, he celebrated the Queen Mother's birthday.
The surviving minion collected many precious gifts everywhere to give to the Queen Mother.
And it's not over yet, because this big day of the whole life requires Daqing, and a very high standard "Nine-Ninth Birthday Gift" must be presented.
It's not just ninety-nine and eighty-one.
It refers to giving nine types of birthday gifts, each of which must contain nine.
However, ninety-nine and eighty-one pieces are just the number of gifts in one day.
As for the next few days that the Four Masters will give away, that is the number of days multiplied by eighty-one pieces, and that is the total number given by the Four Masters.
"The emperor has a heart." The mother's back smiled, jawed with satisfaction.
After the fourth master’s gift was read, it was the princes and officials who gave gifts to the Queen Mother.
They don't have as many gifts as the four masters, and they usually give one or two gifts.
After all, there is still a difference between a courtier and a son.
Moreover, their strength does not allow it.
But in order to make the Queen Mother happy, everything they gave was a treasure.
Most of them are good names, good pen, ink, paper, inkstone, porcelain, bonsai, calligraphy and painting, etc.
The female family members gave them nothing more than brocades, clothing, and jewelry.
If Yin is a queen, naturally, she also wants to make sense.
However, the relationship between her and the Queen Mother has always only maintained the superficial harmony of the royal mother-in-law.
Therefore, it is not necessary to spend too much effort to please this one.
Because she knows that to please or not to please, that's all.
Therefore, she gave a longevity bronze cauldron to the queen mother from her life.
Anyway, it won't be too eye-catching, but it's also a queen.
Due to the large number of guests present, if everyone presents gifts, this process alone will take a long time.
An hour later, all the guests present gave up their gifts.
The gifts the Queen Mother received this time were all very valuable, Ruoyin roughly estimated that they would start at a million taels.
However, the Queen Mother did not appear to be a fan of money.
On the contrary, he smiled very decently and dignified, and his mouth was very official and authentic: "You all have your heart. In the next birthday, you can come, you don’t have to send such and such precious items. One by one, the men assist the emperor in dealing with the affairs. Women help their men to take care of their trivial matters and let them deal with political affairs boldly. This is the best gift to the Ai family."
Looking at her speaking skills, the gifts were also received, and all the good things were let her speak.
Just such a gentle queen mother.
He smiled kindly, and the corners of his raised eyes had fine lines left by years.
Who would have expected her to be at odds with the Fourth Master in private, and who would believe it?
This is the benefit of doing enough face-saving skills.
All the people present only smiled at the words of the Queen Mother, but did not agree.
The queen mother said that there is no need to send it in the future, can they really not contribute?
The answer is definitely to continue to contribute!
The most important part was finished, and some dancers went into the hall to sing and dance.
All of a sudden, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was singing and dancing.
The guests here enjoy singing and dancing, drinking and chatting, and eating.
If Yin sits alone, it is naturally more convenient to eat.
She ate almost all the meals in front of her.
Then in my heart, I ranked these meals three or six nine.
If it didn't taste good, she stopped using her chopsticks.
If it is delicious, she will eat more chopsticks.
However, there were too many people present, and she was not able to spread it out.
In any case, we must also stabilize the image of Huanghouzhuang.
However, Yugui concubine, who was sitting on her left, was very cautious because of the imperial heir in her belly.
A table of dishes, dare not use chopsticks.
Only occasionally holding a cup, seeming to be drinking water, in fact, did not touch the mouth of the cup, very reserved.
After about a stick of incense, there have been three performances of singing and dancing in the hall.
Concubine Yu Gui looked like she couldn't sit still, turned her head and winked at Ziqing with the light.
After Ziqing understood, he winked at a certain position in the hall.
After coming and going, Ziqing Chao Yugui made a gesture.
Then, I saw Concubine Yu Zhao Ruoyin greeted: "Queen, the concubine has a big belly, and she will always go to the bathroom soon."
Ruoyin turned his head and glanced at Concubine Yu faintly, "Go."
She has been pregnant before, knowing that the baby will be crushed in the second trimester of pregnancy, and she always wants to run to the hut.
Therefore, it is not enough to press Yugui concubine with her big belly here to stop her.
If something goes wrong, it will destroy the atmosphere of the Longevity Day.
It's not plausible that people can't solve it on the spot.
Moreover, whether she agrees or disagrees.
As a noble concubine, Yugui concubine still has the right to go to the cottage.
They just greeted her out of courtesy.
Concubine Yu Gui apologized to her, and then got up.
It stands to reason, as long as Yugui Concubine greeted Ruoyin.
You can go out from the side in a low-key manner to avoid attracting too much attention.
But Concubine Yu held up her belly, put her hands on her abdomen, and moved very slowly.
She was afraid that others would not see her up.
The next moment, I heard Concubine Yu's "Ah", and she leaned over Ruoyin's table.
