Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!
Chapter 473: Re-enactment of the Birthday Banquet
"Father, Madam, is it convenient for me to come in?"
At this time, Yin Yi's cheerful voice was heard outside the door.
Kangxi paused, the veins on his forehead twitched. At this moment, he deeply suspected that his son was born for revenge.
Shi Nanxi stretched out her hand to push Kangxi away, lifted her hair, and said with a gloating look:
"Your Majesty, Yin Yi is asking you if it would be convenient for Fang to come in?" She deliberately dragged out the tone.
Kangxi looked at this scene and held his forehead helplessly. Nanxi just loved to play around with Shiwu, but her eyes were full of smiles and indulgence. Then she shouted outside:
"Fifteen, you little bastard, hurry up and get in here!"
"Okay, Emperor Father!"
Yin Yi's excited voice came from outside the door, and the next moment, he walked in with a bowl of hot longevity noodles. When he saw Kangxi, he immediately burst into a brilliant laugh.
"Dangdangdang, on the fifteenth day, I offer you a bowl of longevity noodles to wish your Majesty a long life, eternal admiration, and a lasting reputation. May you be happy and content every year on this day."
Kangxi saw the longevity noodles in Yinyi's hand and looked at him with a look of surprise.
"Yinyi, did you make this longevity noodle?"
"of course."
Yin Yi puffed out his little chest, his chin almost reaching the sky.
"I heard from Madam Yang that the Empress Dowager once cooked longevity noodles for you on your birthday. I learned the steps and made them exactly as the Empress Dowager did. But it took me a lot of effort. I even spent all the time I skipped classes on this."
He put the longevity noodles on the table and urged:
"Father, come and try it. Is it delicious?"
Kangxi didn't care about skipping classes at this time. He walked to the table, looked at the steaming longevity noodles on the table, took the chopsticks that Yinyi handed to him attentively, and picked up the noodles.
At first glance, the noodles were very chewy and there was only one noodle, which looked very good. Kangxi looked at Yinyi with appreciation, and Yinyi urged:
"Eat quickly, Father Huang! Before it gets cold!"
Kangxi laughed and took a bite without delay. He paused for a moment, then continued eating without anyone noticing. Soon he finished a longevity noodle. Yinyi couldn't wait to ask:
"Father, how is it? Is what I cooked delicious?"
Kangxi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
Affirmative nod:
"It's delicious. It's really delicious. Yinyi is amazing."
"Of course not. I am the son of the Emperor Father and Empress Mother, so of course I am powerful." Yin Yi was beaming with pride.
Kangxi looked at Yinyi lovingly, and noticed a smear of dust on his cheek. He waved his hand:
"Come here. You didn't even notice there was dust on your cheek. I'll wipe it off for you."
After hearing this, Yinyi walked over and put his face in front of Kangxi.
"Thank you, Father Huang. It might have been accidentally rubbed against me when I was making the fire."
Shi Nanxi smiled as the father and son interacted.
After wiping his face, Yin Yi was eager to try:
"Father Emperor, Madam Emperor, today is your birthday, and we finally have a day off. I don't need to skip classes to go out and play, so I'll leave now!"
After saying that, he bowed to the two of them and ran away.
Kangxi's expression immediately changed:
"Quick, quick, pour me a glass of water. It's so salty."
Liang Jiugong quickly poured water for the emperor. Kangxi ignored etiquette and couldn't wait to drink it. Looking at this scene, Shi Nanxi almost laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? Didn't you say your eldest son cooked delicious food?"
Kangxi finally stopped drinking three glasses of water, and looking at Shi Nanxi who was gloating over the misfortune, he couldn't help laughing:
"That kid probably sprinkled a handful of salt."
Shi Nanxi laughed even harder when she heard that.
……
Kangxi's 52nd birthday banquet began at noon. The process was no different from previous ones. The attendees arrived early and the scene was extremely grand and lively.
"That must be the Fifteenth Prince, he looks really good, but he seems to have a very good relationship with both the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince?"
A wife whose husband had just been transferred to Beijing and had reached the third rank asked in confusion.
She had heard rumors before that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince had a very bad relationship, and that as brothers they did not interact with each other. How come the Fifteenth Prince had a good relationship with both the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince?
The lady in question had lived in the capital for a long time and obviously understood the relationship between the princes better than she did. She immediately lowered her voice and explained:
"The fifteenth prince is the only son of the Empress. The Empress is wise and selfless. In order to stabilize the Qing Dynasty, she took the initiative to propose that the fifteenth prince be canonized as the Heshuo Xiaoyao King as soon as he was born. He would never attend court and would never have the right of inheritance. Later, the Emperor agreed and officially announced it at the full moon banquet. As a result, not only the people and court officials praised him, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very grateful and loved the fifteenth prince very much since he was a child."
The new lady nodded in understanding, and then asked:
"What about the Fourth Prince? Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
He didn't finish his words, but the implication was that the Fourth Prince and the Fifteenth Prince had different mothers and were not related in the past, so why did he love them so much? Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that the Fifteenth Prince and the Fourth Prince had a good relationship, so he didn't have any grudges?
Hearing this, the lady in question looked around and lowered her voice even lower:
"This matter has to do with the Queen's twin sister. She was once the Crown Princess, but she was unexpectedly appointed as the Fourth Prince's concubine during the selection process. However, she was a beauty with a tragic fate and died early. Before she died, she gave her inheritance to the Fifteenth Prince as a gift. It was obvious that she loved the Fifteenth Prince very much. So to this day, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince also love the Fifteenth Prince very much."
"So that's how it is. There is actually such a secret."
The new lady in Beijing sighed:
"I never thought that the twin sister of the Empress would be favored by two emperors and nobles. They still miss her even after her death, and even love her even more. But the Empress is even more extraordinary. It is even more rare for the Emperor to have favored her for more than ten years."
Yin Yi, who was being discussed, now acted like a "scumbag", sitting in the seat of princes and getting the best of both worlds.
"Brother Crown Prince, you look particularly energetic today. By the way, I left a jade pendant in my room when I was changing clothes in Yuqing Palace. I will go to your place to get it after the birthday banquet. It was given to me on my birthday last year. You must wear it all the time, otherwise you will not be used to it."
Although Yin Yi was young, he had been named King Xiaoyao since he was a child. So he was sitting next to the crown prince. When he saw the crown prince coming, he greeted him cheerfully.
As soon as the prince arrived, he heard Fifteen's chattering. His dignified face softened imperceptibly. After sitting down, he looked at Yin Yi and said softly:
"Don't worry, it won't be lost. I'll go with you to look for it after the birthday party."
"Prince, second brother is so nice."
Yin Yi was so happy that he acted cute, but at this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of his fourth brother from the corner of his eye. He saw that his face was stern. Although he seemed the same as before, Yin Yi realized that his fourth brother was a little unhappy. He immediately turned around and spoke to his fourth brother through his eldest and third brothers:
"Fourth brother, the Xuji candied haws you brought me before were delicious. I loved them so much. Can you bring me two more next time you enter the palace?"
The stern expression of the Fourth Prince softened instantly. He turned to Yin Yi and said nothing more.
"Okay, but if you eat too much candy, your teeth will hurt. I'll bring you one next time."
When Yin Yi heard this, he immediately smiled brightly:
"I know that Fourth Brother is good to me, and I will listen to you."
Even though the other princes were already familiar with the situation of the Fifteenth Prince being able to please both sides, they still found it incredible every time it happened.
However, the Crown Prince has not spoken to the Fourth Prince since the selection fourteen years ago. The Fourth Prince's expression has become colder day by day, and most people dare not approach him.
But the Fifteenth Prince happens to have a good relationship with both of them, which is really amazing. The Eighth Prince lowered his eyes and slowly stroked the rim of the cup. Fortunately, the Fifteenth Prince did not have the right of inheritance, otherwise he would definitely be a strong rival.
The Ninth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince looked at this scene with a hint of disdain in their faces, and the Tenth Prince had a complicated look in his eyes.
The remaining princes were also on good terms with the Fifteenth Prince, and they joined in, making the scene extremely lively.
