People's appetite has been whetted, but Ming Yu is unwilling to reveal what it is in advance even if he is beaten to death. He just shirks that it is useless to read it in advance. This is even more unbearable.
As soon as the emperor said these words, everyone also looked at Ming Yu in unison, wondering what gift King Duan would present.
Ming Yu chuckled and looked at the sky, "It's still early, the royal brothers haven't presented their gifts yet, so how dare a younger brother go overboard? Besides, it's best to see the gifts of my ministers later, after dark." better."
This kid, at this moment, he knows how to be modest, and he doesn't necessarily put his brothers first in everything on weekdays.
But now that you've said that, there's nothing to wait for.
The princes naturally want to fight this time to show their performance. It is best to make their gifts eye-catching in front of everyone, and compare with others.
The crown prince kept himself upright. The gifts he prepared were not expensive, but they were the most thoughtful. After fasting and bathing for seven days, he wrote the Buddhist scriptures himself to pray for blessings, and then worshiped them for seven to forty-nine days.
The emperor was used to seeing rare and rare things in the world, and he also praised the prince's intentions, saying, "The prince has a heart."
As for the others, it is natural to give whichever is more expensive, and the third prince's South Sea Purple Gold Coral Bead is very eye-catching.
By the time of Mingyu, the sky was already dark, and some palace people had already lit up lanterns, illuminating the whole banquet as if it were daytime.
"Fourteenth brother, our birthday presents have all been presented, and we are waiting for your finale, but you didn't bring anything with you, so you must have hidden it? Is it because you can't get it out?" Ming Zhen was annoyed. Said.
Both Ming Zhen and Ming Zhuo were grounded by the emperor before, but they were released due to special circumstances today. Because of the previous incident, Ming Zhen did not end up harming others, but now Ming Zhuo turned against him, and the emperor did not want to see him. He blamed all this on Ming Yu, so no matter how he looked at him, he was not pleasing to the eye.
Ming Yu smiled slightly, ignored him, stood up, walked to the arena, and saluted the emperor, "I have prepared a little treat for my father, and I invite my father to watch it."
After he finished speaking, he directed a few words to his subordinate, who took out a loud arrow and handed it to Ming Yu. This has been reported to the emperor and agreed to, and he will use it for communication.
Mingyu lit it and released it into the night sky. The loud arrow shot up into the night sky, whizzing across a bright spot.
Everyone didn't know what the hell Ming Yu was doing, didn't others give gifts right before their eyes? What happened to him when he got this out
124. Chapter 124
Before everyone could react, a flash of fireworks bloomed in the night sky not far away.
Everyone looked up, and the firework flashed across the night sky, and it was fleeting. Everyone had a question in their hearts, what is this thing
I haven't figured it out yet, but the night sky is full of colorful fireworks blooming one after another, like a goddess scattering flowers, which makes people dazzled.
Almost everyone stared at it, is this auspicious from heaven? Otherwise, why would such a spectacle emerge out of thin air.
For a while, the venue was quiet, only the colorful and dazzling fireworks flickered on and off.
Ming Yu cupped his hands and said respectfully: "My son presents the celestial girl to scatter flowers, wishing my father and emperor eternal life, the holy body is in good health, and longevity is boundless!"
what! This... Was this made by Duan Wang? Birthday gift? It's an eye-opener!
Ming Zhen was so angry that he hammered the table, the bastard Ming Yu, now overwhelmed the limelight of these princes. The South China Sea Purple Gold Coral Bead he found for his third brother with all his pains and pains was originally priceless, and it can be regarded as a rare treasure. He also thought that the third brother would gain the limelight because of this, but he didn't expect that the limelight would be robbed by Ming Yu.
There are fifty-six fireworks Mingyu prepared, symbolizing the emperor's fifty-sixth birthday. Not long after, the fireworks in the night sky gradually calmed down, and everyone woke up from their astonishment.
The emperor laughed loudly, "Very good, very good, this is the most special gift I have received."
Ming Yu hit the snake with a stick, "Of course, Father, you don't know how long I have been preparing for your birthday, and how much effort I have spent. But it is worth it to win Father's praise." .”
He sent piles of high-sounding and pleasant words, which made the emperor laugh out loud, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became lively again.
The eleventh prince Ming Zhen clenched his fists, so he couldn't see Ming Yu's complacent look, but seeing his face in front of the emperor, he could only itch his teeth with anger.
"Little Fourteen really has a thorough mind. Such a novelty is simply unheard of and unseen. The Fourteenth Brother is extraordinary when he makes a move." Third Prince Ming Tao said sourly.
The emperor's praise fell to everyone's ears, and everyone knew that the emperor was very satisfied with Ming Yu's generous gift. Ming Tao didn't expect Ming Yu to steal the attention as soon as his congratulatory gift caught his father's attention, which made him feel powerless. It's like accumulating energy for a long time, but punching out is empty, and people can't get used to it for a while.
Ming Zhen secretly handed the knife to the side, and helped Ming Tao put on airs: "The fourteenth brother's collection of this gift is really good, such a rare thing is hidden, and there is no time to give it to the father. Wait until it is important. Time was just taken out just to surprise father, he really has grown up, and his mind is quite calm."
What he said was both positive and negative, accusing Ming Yu of not putting his father first, not paying homage to the new things at the first time, and instead hiding them to increase his bargaining chips.
Although these words are cryptic, which one of you here is not a human being? How could he fail to understand the original meaning of the words, the prince, who had nothing to do with himself, looked lively.
Crown Prince Ming Ye frowned, fearing that Ming Yu would be at a disadvantage, and wanted to help Ming Yu speak, but before he stood up, Ming Yu smiled and said: "Oh! Thank you for your reward! Brother Eleven really understands my younger brother. I know what my younger brother thinks about it." Father, you always want to surprise father, that's why you take such pains."
He paused, "However, the younger brother who has a calm mind has really not made much progress. Although the father taught his sons and ministers to hone their minds, it is a pity that their minds have long since been born and cannot be changed. You won’t start a quarrel with the emperor brothers if you don’t agree with each other, and you’ll get bloody.”
"Pfft!" Someone laughed immediately after hearing this. The story of the three fighting last time has already spread. Although they don't know what happened, it is clear that the emperor punished eleven and twelve. If it weren't for the emperor's big day today, and concubine Hui pleading for mercy, how could Eleven appear here? I'm afraid that after the emperor's birthday, Eleven will have to go back and be locked up for a while. After all, the emperor's golden words, the punishment has not yet been completed, so it is natural to continue to punish.
The prince sat back to his original position calmly, drank a glass of wine unobtrusively, with a smile on his face. This little Fourteen, not knowing whether he really couldn't hear the truth or lies in what others said, climbed along the pole that was handed up by others. In the end, it is probably only this master who can block people's popularity.
Being caught by Ming Yu's sore feet, Ming Zhen's face turns green and pale, how can I praise him? Can't he understand the irony? ah? Following the words, he could beat him upside down, making him almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Ming Yu mentioned the previous incident to disgust him, and suffered such a loss in his hands before. Both he and Mingzhuo were fined, but Mingyu was fine, not only did he not share the responsibility, but he also spread the rumors about it, which made him afraid to see anyone when he came out.
Ming Zhen didn't dare to vent his anger. On such an important occasion today, whoever can't think about it would dare to make trouble in front of the emperor. He was hurt by Ming Yu's anger, seeing Ming Yu's proud face, he wished he could pounce on him and tear his face to pieces. However, he could only swallow his anger, gulped down a gulp of wine, and suppressed the depression in his heart.
The first to flirt is cheap! This sentence is about you. Ming Yu smiled and looked harmless to humans and animals, but he hoped that Ming Zhen would have the courage to confront him. It's a pity, it's impossible to see Ming Zhen's shrunken head.
Ming Tao was also afraid that his compatriot brother would suffer, so he got up to smooth things over and said: "The fourteenth brother is purely filial to the father, and his heart has never changed. He always thinks of the father and the fourteenth brother. Why don't we brothers want to be like the fourteenth brother? If the father doesn't dislike it, the sons and ministers will entertain relatives in colorful clothes, so why not let the father enjoy the family happiness? Everyone agrees?"
He not only praised Ming Yu for winning the favor of his father, but also expressed his filial piety to the emperor, and he also brought all the princes together, it can be seen that he was very attentive and thoughtful of everything.
The other princes also agreed with Ying Shi one after another, and some people even clamored for people to go down and prepare colorful clothes, and to perform for their father.
The scene where the princes were in harmony made the emperor feel relieved. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come on, what are you doing to entertain relatives in colorful clothes in front of all the ministers? I'm ashamed for you. The third child is also, such an adult, what kind of fooling around with the younger brothers?" ?”
Ming Tao said aggrievedly: "This is what my son thinks in his heart, why are you just making fun of me?"
The third prince, Ming Tao, was already deeply liked by the emperor, and he had made quite a lot of achievements in political affairs. At this time, showing a little childishness like this made the emperor sigh with emotion.
In the eyes of the emperor, when a child grows up, it is inevitable that he will have his own little thoughts, and it is really rare to see such a childlike heart like Ming Yu. Now that Mingtao behaved like this, the emperor felt some kindness in his heart. Sure enough, no matter how old a child is, he is still a child in the eyes of his parents.
The emperor was in a happy mood, and he didn't mean to blame him. Shaking his head helplessly, he smiled and said, "You! I really don't know what to say about you. It's okay, it's okay,
