His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 172 Birthday Gifts
On the second day,
Chen Fulin specially changed into the new clothes that were just delivered yesterday. They were Ruyilou's midsummer style, and he chose the water blue color of Mo Landie.

Charming yet demure, unlike the delicate color she used to like, it is just right for her age.

"Mother is so pretty!"

Qin Xi was the first to join in, and her straightforward compliment made her mother laugh heartily.

Qin Xu was naturally not far behind: "Mother is like a fairy!"

Then everyone's eyes focused on the only person in the room who hadn't spoken yet.

Qin Ao: ...

He sat there with a smile on his face, he only had eyes for that one person, and there was no need to say much about his affection.

In the eyes of everyone, he slowly walked towards the person in his eyes, and gently brushed her hair.

"Ok?"

Chen Fulin shook his head lightly.

She felt it.

"Hibiscus is not as good as a beauty's make-up, and the fragrance of pearls and emeralds comes from the water palace..."

Bi Luo brought the mirror, and Chen Fulin saw the silver light in his hair.

It is a hairpin.

"So lovely!"

Bi Luo sincerely admired it.

This craftsmanship, even someone like her who doesn't know how to do it, can see that it is exquisite.

There is also a style, it is actually their master's favorite camellia, the stamens are dark blue diamond strips, which matches today's clothes.

The siblings couldn't understand the meaning of the poem, but from the sudden shyness on Mother's face and the smiling expression in Aunt Biluo's eyes, they knew that Mother was extremely satisfied.

high!
It has to be their father!

Qin Xi: I want to be my mother's most intimate little padded jacket...

Qin Xu: I want to study hard!In the future, Kua Niang can also quote scriptures, and all kinds of poems can be easily read!
Then, the brothers and sisters took out the birthday presents they had prepared for a long time.

"Mother, happy birthday, I wish you younger and younger!"

"Mom, may you become more and more beautiful~"

Chen Fulin readily accepted the birthday gifts of the two children, and opened them one by one in front of them.

Qin Xu's is a painting.

Hmm... a very abstract painting.

But I can barely recognize it. In the painting is a young woman. Perhaps she is still young, holding the pen a little unsteadily, and the lines are crooked and tortuous.

"Ahem... this is it?"

Qin Xujun blushed slightly: "Mother... next year, next year I will draw you better."

Chen Fulin folded the thin drawing paper carefully: "My son is really good at drawing, and I believe you will do better next year."

Later generations recorded that Emperor Dajing Yongchang had exquisite painting skills, especially the portraits, which were lifelike. He only painted portraits of two women in his life, one was his mother and the other was his wife.

The scene of deep love between mother and child was interrupted by Qin Xi, who was not willing to be left out: "Mother, there are mine, take a quick look."

Chen Fulin put Qin Xu's gift back into the exquisite little box and handed it to Bi Luo: "Keep it safe."

Only then did the second small box open.

"what?"

Qin Xi glanced sideways at his elder brother proudly, and then said to her mother: "Mother~ I will give you all my money~"

Chen Fulin had a loving face.

Silly boy, is your mother missing your three melons and two dates?
But after she saw clearly the stack of banknotes in the box, often ranging from 50 taels to thousands of taels: ...

Qin Ao: ...

His daughter is really rich!

His eyes turned inadvertently on Qin Xu's slightly envious little face. In comparison, they seem to be the poorest people in the entire East Palace.

Chen Fulin took it out and counted it, a total of 6000 taels...

"Baby, where did you get so much money?"

The brothers and sisters did receive a lot of lucky money and various rewards every year, but there were very few bank notes and cash.

After all, no one in the palace would reward money directly in such a vulgar way.

If you can sell it, you will have a lot of money, and the big bottom is only... Her grandfather's family in Runan has a lot of money.

In the past, she had a lot of money for the two children. Only at the beginning of this year, they wrote a letter with ghostly symbols to Runan's great-grandmother. with.

She didn't notice it for a while, but she didn't expect that there was such a large amount of bank notes in it.

But... I'm afraid Qin Xi is not the only one here.

Qin Xi smiled "hehe", looked at her brother, and said boldly, "Of course... I earned it!"

Chen Fulin said: "Then my daughter is... really amazing!"

"Mom~ I will earn a lot of money for you to spend in the future, buy whatever I want, and eat whatever I want!"

Chen Fulin naturally accepted his daughter's kindness.

"Okay, that mother is waiting too, mother will depend on you for the rest of her life."

She put away all the bank notes, and these things will still be hers in the future, even if she keeps them for her.

Qin Xi patted his small chest and held his head high: "Come on, just watch it!"

Qin Ao watched from the side, and at this moment had no choice but to say: "Ahem, your mother will have your father for the rest of her life!"

What's the matter with you?

One wants to marry, and the other wants to marry.

They all have their own small families and their own cherished people. Only he is the one who will be with her for the rest of her life.

Chen Fulin glanced at him angrily, and got serious with the two children!
Qin Ao: ...you can't back down on matters of principle.

Asking Bi Luo to carefully put away the presents of the two children, the family of four quarreled for a while before heading down the mountain.

We stayed in the temple for a while, and we were afraid that the sun would be too hot for people, so the family didn't go to the West Market today, but took a carriage directly to Huaiyuan Square.

The carriage had just appeared at the end of the square market, and the servant who had been waiting at the door saw it from a distance.

He beckoned his companions to open the door quickly, and ran inside by himself.

Over the years, the mansion has long been used to returning to the mansion every year on Miss Fifth's birthday.

The masters and young masters of the family even asked for leave on this day, and they all waited in the mansion.

"Master! Madam! Fifth Miss is back!"

In the study in the front yard, apart from Chen Guilin who was far away at the border, the father and son of the Chen family who had been waiting for a long time lifted their spirits.

Chen Zhuolin said: "Father, His Highness should be here today."

Chen Yanzhi stroked his beard with a look of relief on his face: "Your Highness rushed to Dongming Temple yesterday evening, naturally it was together."

Obviously, Chen Yanzhi was really happy that the prince valued his daughter so much, and it was not in vain that their father and son had worked their lives for the prince all these years.

Their Chen family belonged to the prince, but they didn't have much contact with the prince on the surface.

Only on the day of Fulin's birthday every year, His Highness would take time to come to Chen's Mansion, sometimes he would just drop people off, say hello and then leave, sometimes he would sit in the mansion for a while, and then leave together after eating.

This is why their father and son take leave together on this day every year.

After all, unlike the female relatives in the mansion like Chen's mother, who can still get some kindness every year, and meet Fulin once or twice a year, they can see their daughter (sister) for only one day a year.

Of course, there are grandchildren (little nephews and nieces).
