Chapter 169 Birthday
Ye Qinghuai was taken aback.

If Aunt Fanghua hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten it.

When she was reborn and came back, she once thought about giving up the throne Zen, and then went out to visit the mountains and rivers by herself and be a carefree idler.

But this idea has long been thrown out of her mind for a long time.

Especially recently, I'm so busy that I don't even have time to think about it.

But at this moment when Aunt Fanghua asked, Ye Qinghuai suddenly felt emotional.

It will be her birthday in two months.In other words, it has been almost a year since she was reborn.

Who would have imagined that so many things could happen in less than a year.

She is no longer what she used to be.

Her state of mind is also completely different from before.

Ye Qinghuai sighed, and said: "Nowadays, the imperial court is troubled by internal and external troubles, and I can't let it go to others. Wait for the court to stabilize... Well, let's talk about it when the time comes."

She felt that with the current situation, she could not see a day when the court would be stable.

Seems like a long way off.

"Your Majesty, don't be too harsh on yourself. I always feel sorry for you when I see you working so hard. If I had stopped my mother back then, you wouldn't be like this now... You can also be happy like Princess Shu Yao... ..." Aunt Fanghua said as she covered her face and lowered her head, her voice also lowered, with a slightly crying tone.

Ye Qinghuai sighed again, and said: "On the day I ascended the throne, my husband once told me that as long as I sit in that position, there will be no Ye Qinghuai in the world, only Sui and the emperor. I can hold the world in my heart, You can pretend to be the people, you can pretend to be ministers, but you can't pretend to be yourself. I live to live for the great scene, and die to die for the great scene. This is my duty as the emperor. If I can't do it well, I will Dereliction of duty will disappoint the husband and the ancestors."

Aunt Fanghua let go of her hand and looked at her in surprise.

"Auntie, no matter how I got into this position, since I got up, I have to sit down and sit firmly. If one day I voluntarily step down from this position, it must be because there are successors in the country, and the city-state is as solid as gold." , the people live and work in peace and contentment, not because I want to be a deserter. Because the person sitting in this position happens to be me, so I have to have such an awareness." Ye Qinghuai showed a gentle smile to Aunt Fanghua, and said , "If the person sitting in this position is someone else, Shu Yao, then she must also have this kind of awareness."

"Auntie, I don't think it's hard work. You don't have to regret it." Ye Qinghuai lowered her head, her eyes darkened, "Someone always wants to do these things. This person is me, and I am very lucky."

She had thought many times that it would be fine if there was no Renshen Rebellion.Regardless of whether the eldest brother or the second brother is the emperor, he will be more competent than her.

Especially in her previous life, when she was alone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony waiting for the rebels to break into the city gate.

But now Ye Qinghuai felt that maybe it was destiny for her to be the emperor.

Because what she wants to take is a path that neither the elder brother nor the second brother will ever take.

A road full of obstacles and an uncertain future, but one that has to be taken.
-
After morning court the next day, Ye Qinghuai stepped into the harem after a long absence.

The queen and concubine are indeed there.

And it can be seen that both of them have been carefully dressed.

The stage was set up in the imperial garden, and when Ye Qinghuai arrived, everyone was already seated, leaving only a central seat for Ye Qinghuai.Princess Shu Yao was sitting on one side of Ye Qinghuai next to her birth mother Concubine Jiang, and on the other side were the queen and noble concubine.

The queen is wearing a purple-blue brocade, and wearing a step shake on her head, which is dazzling.The imperial concubine wore a pink silk dress, which was very light.

Both of them brought presents to Princess Shu Yao.

The queen gave a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, and the imperial concubine gave a set of solitary copies of "Tian Yan Lu".

This was the first time that the little princess received a gift from someone other than the emperor and mother, and she looked at the gift happily and curiously.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai coming with a guard of honor, everyone else stood up and saluted. Only Princess Shu Yao squatted hastily and ran to Ye Qinghuai's side, holding the bracelets given by the queen in her hands. .

"Your Majesty, take a quick look at the bracelet that Queen Sister gave me, is it good?"

Ye Qinghuai glanced at it, and saw that it was indeed a pair of good-looking bracelets.

"It's pretty." Ye Qinghuai patted Shu Yao's head, "But I want to be called Huangsao, you know?"

Shu Yao immediately changed her words, smiled at the queen, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

She ran back to the table again, carefully put away the jade bracelet, patted the stack of framed books, and said to Ye Qinghuai as if showing off her spoils, "This is the "Heavenly Love" that the concubine sister gave me. "Yanlu", look at it, Your Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai stepped forward, took out a book, flipped through it, and said strangely: "This book still has the original, I thought it was lost."

The noble concubine saluted for a while, and replied to Ye Qinghuai: "This is repaired by the people. It is not the original, but the content is complete and can be treasured. The concubine also got it by chance. I heard that the princess likes strange stories, but I don't know the princess like or not."

"I like it! I like it very much!" Princess Shu Yao said immediately, her joy was beyond words.

"Why don't you like it, thank you, the imperial concubine?" Ye Qinghuai said.

As soon as she uttered the words "Imperial Concubine Empress", the expressions of the empress and imperial concubine changed.

The empress looked somewhat complacent, while the noble concubine was taken aback.

Ye Qinghuai pretended not to see it, and invited everyone to sit down and watch the performance.

The performance was very exciting, but Ye Qinghuai didn't care much about watching it.

Because the queen was sitting on the left of her, and Shu Yao was sitting on the right.

"Look, Your Majesty! This is amazing!"

"Your Majesty, try this, this concubine made it with her own hands."

"Brother Emperor, would you hold a sword like this?"

"Does Your Majesty feel hot? The concubine calls for someone to hold the fan."

……

For every cup of tea, Ye Qinghuai would shake her head from side to side two to three times.

Li Baoquan carefully watched the emperor's emotional state, and was always ready to step forward to put out the fire.

Based on his understanding of the emperor during this period, the emperor's temper is not very good, and once he gets angry, it is very scary.

Today, however, the emperor seems to be in a good mood.

During the hour-long performance, Ye Qinghuai has always maintained full patience with the noisy girls on the left and right. She not only listens, but even joins the discussion or echoes with a sincere smile.

Ye Qinghuai maintained this kind of friendly and dedicated mental state until after visiting the garden and having the dinner.

The birthday was a great success.

Shu Yao was very happy.

The queen was also very happy.

Everyone seemed to be having a good day today, except the chaise.

Only the slender concubine, after watching the troupe's performance, resigned on the grounds that she was unwell.
