Chapter 302 Birthday Gift
In Song Anle's words, she just wanted to explain that a sincere blessing is not a deliberate expression, how sincere that person is, but true sincerity is the effort you make unconsciously, and even without asking for anything in return. But no matter when you recall it, you will have that kind of incomparable value.
"The imperial concubine said it very well. I am tired of the world. Today I feel relieved that I can hear a heartfelt statement." Gao Jin was not good enough to neglect Master Xiu. After all, he was still an important minister in the court, so he looked at Master Xiu again and said, "My dear friend is my founding hero. I know that Moy dear friend pays attention to details in everything, but today is my birthday party. I don't know if I can give me a slight face. Everything can be simple today and not be polite, so that you can enjoy the fun."
Even if Lord Xiu was dissatisfied with ten thousand, he could not refute Gao Jin's face. Besides, Song Anle deliberately placed the bright red brocade handkerchief in other people's sight, which was obviously ulterior motive. Why should he be embarrassed by Gao Jin's stairs? So he nodded and said, "The emperor has ruined the old minister, and the old minister dare not accept it."
Gao Jin finally resolved the discord, so he raised his glass and said, "Since that's the case, everyone will raise their glasses together. I will respect all the pillars of the Northern Dynasties. May my Northern Dynasties prosper for thousands of years and the people will be happy for thousands of years."
Gao Jin's vicissitudes of face and his unique majesty were replaced by a touch of kindness and grievance. At this time, he lacked energy, or it could be said that he was unable to do so, but he was still worried and fell down, so he had to encourage them and unite them.
Gao Yuanshang changed the wine cup in front of Song Anle and changed it to her a water cup. Song Anle smiled at him in a blink of an eye because she found that the water that Gao Yuanshang had replaced her was a cup of white water, but he was obviously much more careful about himself.
Gao Yuanshang also gave her a calm smile. Perhaps because the moment they looked at each other, they delayed it for a while, so when everyone stood up, they quickly stood up, but some people kept close attention to their every move.
Everyone said in unison: "I wish my Northern Dynasty prosperous for thousands of years and my people will be happy for thousands of years. May the emperor be blessed and long-lasting, and may the empress be happy forever."
After Gao Jin took his seat, everyone sat down one after another. Another cheerful singing and dancing ended. Song Xiaojing had already taken the initiative to perform singing and dancing first, and Shen Xiaoya was of course prepared.
After leaving a singing and dancing, she also stood up with the help of the palace maid. Because she was pregnant for several months, her movements were a little clumsy. Seeing this, the queen quickly said: "Concubine Shen has so much inconvenience. There is no need to get up and reply, just sit down."
"Thank you for your kindness." Shen Xiaoya nodded and sat back without hesitation. Then she said with a sweet smile: "I have no talent and no virtue, and my family has been poor since I was a child, so I can't arrange the singing and dancing compiled by Princess Lin, and I don't have the eloquence of the imperial concubine. However, I have learned the superficial medical skills since I was a child, so when I was free, I prepared some tonic medicine for the emperor and the empress, and I hope that the emperor can accept it with a smile."
Gao Jin had already dealt with Song Anle's side. The queen was not good at not asking anything, so she said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Shen Fei, who has always been gentle and quiet, has such good medical skills. It's really amazing."
Chen Xiaoya likes mediocrity, so as long as she can be with Gao Yuanyi, she doesn't care about her status and status at all, so she doesn't want to be noticed. So she smiled again: "The Empress is too awarded, I just understand the superficiality, which makes the Empress laugh."
"Since Concubine Chen has good intentions, I will accept it for the emperor first." The queen signaled to the palace servants beside her and took several boxes held by the palace servants beside Chen Xiaoya.
At the moment, Song Anle was the only one who left her congratulations, so the queen turned to her and said, "Princess Lin and Concubine Shen both presented congratulations. I wonder if the imperial concubine's congratulations would also be amazing?"
Song Anle stood up but said a little embarrassedly: "The Empress made fun of me. I did not prepare a heavy gift, but just made a sleeping pillow by myself. I hope the emperor will not dislike me."
Gao Jin always had a sense of familiarity in that moment. He felt too much about Song Anle, but he didn't know how to tell him. He could only look at her silently, as if he had looked at the shadow in his memory, so he said kindly: "Since it is the imperial concubine's wishes, how can I say that I dislike? Come on."
Song Anle signaled Mei Xin, and Mei Xin put on an exquisite sleeping pillow. Gao Jin looked at the uniqueness of the sleeping pillow. The colors and patterns on it were already on it, and it could be seen that it was all in a stitch and thread. It was carefully embroidered, indeed not as thick as it was, but it was the most thoughtful.
Suddenly, a familiar fragrance scent, and his eyebrows frowned. It was his most sensitive smell, his most timid smell, or rather, the taste he missed the most, that was the light fragrance of pear blossoms.
"What does this taste like?" Gao Jin turned his complex eyes straight at Song Anle.
Everyone subconsciously sniffed, but did not notice any abnormal smell, so they all looked at each other with confusion. Only Song Anle knew that it must be the fragrance of flowers that evoked his memories, and this was exactly what she intended. Even if she did not admit her identity to him, she would use it to make use of it.
So she said gently and pleasantly: "Go back to the emperor, I am on the sleeping pillow and add a peaceful aroma. It is said that not only can you sleep peacefully, but also clear your breathing, so that you can clear your mind and benefit your heart."
"Is it the fragrance of pear blossoms?" Gao Jin seemed to be asking, but it seemed to be confirming.
"The emperor is wise." Song Anle nodded gracefully and signaled, but she sighed in her heart that after many years, the feelings in Gao Jin's heart have never faded. She didn't know whether to be proud of his infatuation, or to be sad for Gao Jin's infatuation.
The banquet was prepared for the whole day, so until the afternoon, some people left the banquet one after another to get some breath, so the atmosphere was always in a relaxed state.
In the afternoon, Gao Jin was not in a row and needed to go back to the hall to rest for a while, which also dispelled the dull and restrained hearts of everyone. With Gao Jin and the Queen leaving the table, everyone also left the hall one after another.
In autumn, golden fallen leaves cover every corner of the ground. The gorgeous flowers bloomed with the last season's beauty, and the green plants swayed with broken branches and leaves, as if the new branches and leaves were preparing.
Gao Yuanshang and Song Anle were walking side by side in the garden. The two walked casually. Gao Yuanshang suddenly said curiously: "By the way, how do you know that your father loves pear blossoms?"
Song Anle said a little playful and easy-going: "Pear blossoms are commonly known as fairy in white, who doesn't love them?"
Gao Yuanshang paused and said with uncertainty: "It seems you like it too?"
Song Anle naturally paused, but she didn't care about Gao Yuanshang's inquiry, but said disapprovingly: "I only appreciate it."
Gao Yuanshang gently wiped off a small leaf falling from her shoulder, turned around and walked and said, "There seems to be very few things that can enter you."
He was blindly unconfident in his tone. He once thought that Song Anle's every move towards him was because she cared about him in her heart, but this conceited mentality disappeared from his consciousness, which led to his current lack of confidence.
"Actually not. Some things are enough at a glance." Song Anle followed him and even glanced at Gao Yuanshang meaningfully.
This glance happened to meet each other's eyes, as if he was giving him encouragement, but also as if he was taking the initiative to show kindness.
Gao Yuanshang secretly had a smile on his face. He understood the look thoughtfully, just like the moment they met. In the crowded crowd, Song Anle's turn-around look, perhaps from that moment of looking at each other, everything was destined.
Both of them wandered leisurely, and Song Anle occasionally peeked at Gao Yuanshang's expression. Seeing that he was always giggling inexplicably, she asked curiously: "Why are you laughing at?"
Gao Yuanshang said meaninglessly as he walked: "Do you still remember the day we met?"
"Do you want to say the moment when I look back?" Song Anle thoughtful, sometimes affectionately smirked, and coupled with his sudden questioning, he thought that he wanted to look back.
Gao Yuanshang said reluctantly: "Why are you saying it so bluntly?"
Song Anle did not follow me in time, but thought about it on the spot, then chased me again, and said unhappily: "Then do you want to remind me that I still owe you a lot of favors?"
Gao Yuanshang suddenly stopped inexplicably, and Song Anle had to take back the steps he took. She had said unintentionally, so she looked at his inexplicable actions with an unknown look on his face.
"Do you still remember?" Gao Yuanshang's face suddenly became serious, because he was not concerned about how much favor she owed him, but about how she paid it back.
Song Anle thought he really cared about those favors that had not been paid off, so he said depressed and unhappy: "Of course, don't worry, I will definitely give it back to you."
"Then do you remember, how did we say we could pay it back?"
Song Anle recalled that of course she could remember that at that time, because Gao Yuanshang made unreasonable and excessive requests, she agreed with shame. Fortunately, she left room for herself, so she still said unhappily: "Why, are you cursing me to die?"
"Of course not;" Gao Yuanshang whispered in her ear: "Because you have already returned me."
Song Anle's face suddenly turned red. They said they would hand him over to him after she died, but they forgot that they had already had the reality of being a husband and wife, but when they thought of this, she had to remember the lost child again, so she entered a sad mood again.
