Chapter 1058: Longevity Festival Let the Lady Offer Her Birthday
Chapter 1058 Let the noble girl give her birthday
On the Day of the Birthday, the family of heaven has given me grace to eliminate the serious crimes and death row prisoners. Several policies have been issued to benefit the people and soldiers to accumulate blessings.
Like in previous years, the whole nation celebrated the birthday of the Birthday Festival. All households took the initiative to hang red lanterns or hang the word "Birthday" to celebrate the emperor's birthday. The streets of Shangjing even had lanterns and decorated them with dragon shed stages to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
It is also necessary to avoid bloody slaughtering on the Birthday Day. In order to avoid bloody slaughtering and handling criminal cases and punishments for several days before and after the Birthday Day, the handling of funerals and other things must be delayed, so as not to get out of trouble and bad luck.
The format of the Wanneng Festival is complicated. In the words of Emperor Chu, he was lazy and would rather eat a bowl of longevity noodles quietly to be considered as having a birthday. Of course, everyone should not miss birthday gifts.
But the emperor's birthday is never a matter of one person, but a matter of the whole world. If it is not done lively and decently, the people will be afraid that the emperor will be confused and wonder if something is wrong, so they will not even do it.
Another point is that all officials and friendly countries come to celebrate the birthday festival, but it is not that you will not do it if you don’t.
Emperor Chu felt it was complicated and tired. Whoever became an emperor was not tired? It was all for the use of waste.
So, no matter how disgusted he had to put on his airs and show his smile. He had to finish the procedure that should be left while crying and shouting.
Emperor Chu completely finished the ceremony because he had already entered the private warehouse and was even on the road.
The annual birthday celebrations are carefully prepared by civil and military officials and foreign envoys. The natural things that can serve as birthday gifts for the emperor are not ordinary, rare treasures, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, Buddha statues, famous jewelry, etc., and are all dazzling, and boxes of them are registered in the warehouse.
This is still a small birthday. If it is a full birthday, the scale will be larger and the gifts will be thicker. This is also a festival for all Daqing officials and merchants to compete or reach a chain of interests.
After the worship ceremony, there are palace banquets and banquets, there are also programs to celebrate birthdays. However, this year, the Empress Dowager arranged a few noble ladies who were a little older to celebrate the birthday of the emperor.
Song Ci didn't understand either. She claimed to be the queen mother's old best friend, so she asked directly what she didn't understand.
"The Ai family dreamed of the late emperor." Empress Dowager Wang said a little sad, "The emperor is in his prime. Apart from those who died young, he only has six sons and four princesses. He thinks it is too little. The late emperor denounced the Ai family in his dream. It is a big deal for the Tian family to have branches and leaves, and cannot be ignored. The Ai family wants to choose a few people to celebrate their birthday next year, but now he is just choosing a few people to celebrate their birthdays first."
Song Ci's face was amazing. Isn't ten children enough?
"That's the only thing to do is to spread the branches and leaves. This important task can't be given to several princes? In my opinion, the emperor's age should be more maintenance. What, isn't there a drop of elephant and ten drops of blood?"
Oh my god, it’s so embarrassing to say this.
Empress Dowager Wang was also a little hot-faced, but shook her head and said, "Aci, the Tian family is not as good as the ordinary people's family. If the emperor does not add new people in the harem, the officials below will react and force the emperor to add more."
If there is no emperor coming and going, there will be only a few concubines, which is not conducive to the balance of the government.
Song Ci was silent for a while and said, "If the cow doesn't drink water, you can't hold the bull's head down. You can balance the power of the court, and you can also change to another way, such as marrying the royal family."
To be honest, it’s a bad idea to think about a girl who can be a grandfather, but she dare not say this.
Queen Mother Wang said: "This is the same, but it is inevitable to add new people, and the harem must also pay attention to balance."
