The sixth day of the sixth month was Lin Jiabao's birthday. This was Lin Jiabao's first birthday as an imperial noble.

Xuanyuan Hancheng held a grand banquet in the palace to celebrate Guai Bao's birthday. Lin Jiabao wore a bright yellow imperial noble robe and sat next to Xuanyuan Hancheng, who was also wearing a bright yellow imperial robe. He received the kneeling congratulations from the harem, court officials, and noblewomen.

The emperor emeritus and the empress dowager also bestowed many gifts.

With the birthday gifts from other people today, Lin Jiabao's private treasury was expanded again.

In the past two years, Lin Jiabao's private treasury was filled with countless priceless treasures.

However, among all the gifts he received, Lin Jiabao's favorite was the "treasure" seal that his husband had carved for him. He wondered what his husband would give him for his birthday today.

Lin Jiabao was secretly looking forward to it …

At the end of the banquet, fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Lin Jiabao looked at the dazzling fireworks.

It was as if flowers were blooming, scattering golden powder.

Then, a cluster of chrysanthemum-like fireworks rose up. They were like dazzling lanterns, illuminating everyone's faces in the night sky.

Everyone in the Lin Family was invited to Lin Jiabao's birthday banquet today.

Lin Jiabao looked at the smiling faces of his family members, then turned to look at Xuanyuan Hancheng next to him and the Dun Dun in the empress dowager's arms.

At this moment, he felt that he was very happy!

Not only did he have a family that loved him dearly, but he also had a loving husband and son.

Everything was too perfect …

Xuanyuan Hancheng and Guai Bao's fingers were interlocked. He knew that Guai Bao loved watching fireworks the most.

The fireworks were colorful, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. They were like a flash in the pan, instantly turning into eternity.

Xuanyuan Hancheng felt that he had something better than eternity, and that was the present.

When they returned to Pingle Park, a slightly drunk Lin Jiabao's face seemed to have been smeared with rouge. His body was light as a feather as he walked around the table.

Xuanyuan Hancheng already knew that Guai Bao would spin in circles when he was drunk.

Whether it was around him, around the table, around the pillar, or around him, it would always make him dizzy.

"Alright, Guai Bao, stop spinning … You'll feel dizzy again." Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged the Guai Bao and stopped him from spinning.

"Yes." Lin Jiabao stood still and nodded obediently.

"Come … Guai Bao, let's go take a shower …" Xuanyuan Hancheng carried him horizontally and walked towards the bathroom next to the bedroom.

"Yes." Lin Jiabao still nodded obediently.

Xuanyuan Hancheng carried the weak Guai Bao to the bed. After a while, Lin Jiabao's drunkenness had already dissipated.

Although he already had a child, Lin Jiabao was still very shy. At this time, his entire body was pink.

Hubby took advantage of him being drunk again and again. Lin Jiabao pouted. His waist was so sore …

"Hubby …" Lin Jiabao mustered up his courage and asked Xuanyuan Hancheng, "Hubby … Where's my birthday present?"

Xuanyuan Hancheng smiled and stood up, "Hubby, how could I forget?"

Xuanyuan Hancheng quickly returned. Lin Jiabao's hand felt cold. He looked carefully and saw that there was a string of beads on his wrist.

The bracelet was made up of 18 beads. Each bead was the same size. They were polished to be very round and full. They even emitted a faint fragrance.

"This is agar.

Guai Bao, do you like it? "

Agar was the best kind of agarwood. Xuanyuan Hancheng sent people to search for it for a long time before finding it. Afterwards, he personally polished it into beads of the same size and strung it into a bracelet. It really took a lot of effort.

"I like it!"

Lin Jiabao looked at the carefully polished agarwood bracelet. He suddenly thought of something and grabbed his hubby's hands.

When Lin Jiabao touched the thin calluses on Xuanyuan Hancheng's fingers, his eyes glistened with tears.

"I like it, I really like it!" Lin Jiabao said as he kissed Xuanyuan Hancheng's fingertips.

Every year, personally preparing a birthday present for Guai Bao had become Xuanyuan Hancheng's habit and pleasure.

"Guai Bao …" When Lin Jiabao kissed his palm, Xuanyuan Hancheng's eyes darkened. He suddenly flipped over and pressed the Guai Bao under his body.

After Lin Jiabao received the agarwood bracelet that his hubby had carefully polished, he wore it on his hand every day.

The agarwood bracelet had an elegant aura. Its fragrance was faint and refreshing. Lin Jiabao liked this birthday present very much.

One day, when Lin Jiabao was paying respects to the empress dowager at Yong Shou Palace, he was noticed by Wen Wenqian. She lost her composure and asked in a sharp voice, "Is this agar!?"

Wen Wenqian's voice was a bit abrupt and immediately attracted the attention of the empress dowager and dowager concubines.

"This was a gift from the emperor. He said it was agar." Lin Jiabao replied.

Wen Wenqian saw that everyone was looking at her and felt that she had lost her composure. She could only explain, "Just now, I saw that the agarwood bracelet on Imperial Guijun's hand was very beautiful, so I took a closer look and found that it was agar."

Agarwood was not uncommon for people of their families, but agar was incomparably precious and hard to come by.

Wen Wenqian continued to show off her knowledge and said naturally, "Agar is a type of agarwood. It is the best of the best agarwood. It is softer than agarwood.

Usually, in a large piece of the best agarwood material, only a very small part can be regarded as agar, which is extremely precious. "

Wen Wenqian saw the dowager concubines' yearning expressions and said with a bit of jealousy, "There is an old saying that says that one needs to accumulate three lifetimes' worth of good karma to be able to smell the fragrance of agar. One needs to accumulate eight lifetimes' worth of good karma to be able to obtain agar!

Imperial Guijun is truly loved by the emperor! "

When everyone heard Princess Yi's words, they all stared enviously at the agarwood bracelet on Lin Jiabao's wrist and clicked their tongues in wonder.

"Princess Yi is too kind. You know a lot. I didn't know this before." Lin Jiabao only knew that the agarwood bracelet was definitely very precious, but he didn't expect it to be this precious.

In addition, Xuanyuan Hancheng had personally polished it for him. It could really be said that it was a priceless treasure!

"I just like to read some books.

Agar contains thousands of years' worth of spiritual energy. Often smelling this agarwood is not only good for one's health, but it can also prolong one's life.

This daughter-in-law also wants to find it and present it to the Empress Dowager … However, this kind of high-quality agarwood is worth ten thousand gold and can only be found by chance.

Wen Wenqian changed her mind and said to the Empress Dowager.

None of the people present were fools. These dowager concubines were able to climb to their current positions because they naturally understood Princess Yi's meaning.

This agarwood was so precious, but after the Emperor found it, he didn't present it to the Empress Dowager. Instead, he gave it to the Imperial Noble Lord.

Wasn't this saying that the Emperor was unfilial and the Imperial Noble Lord had no respect for the Empress Dowager?

She was indeed the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family. She was really good at using eye powder!

How could the Empress Dowager not understand her intention to sow discord? She didn't expect Wen Wenqian to be so careless. She immediately stopped smiling.

"Isn't the Wen Family a century-old aristocratic family? Is there anything that you can't find?"

Wen Wenqian didn't expect the Empress Dowager to say this. Her pretty face flushed red.

"Imperial Mother …" Lin Jiabao wanted to say something but stopped. Of course, he also understood Princess Yi's meaning.

"Jia Bao, what do you want to say?" The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Jiabao and wanted to say something, so she asked him gently.

"Imperial Mother, His Majesty also prepared something for Imperial Mother.

This time, he found agar to make this bracelet.

He also specially prepared a string of Buddhist prayer beads for Imperial Mother. It's made of 108 agarwood beads.

His Majesty wants to wait for Imperial Mother's birthday to give her a surprise. "

Lin Jiabao said slowly. He couldn't let people think that Xuanyuan Hancheng was unfilial, so he could only say what his husband had told him.

"His Majesty is really filial!" The dowager imperial concubines praised after hearing the Imperial Noble Lord's words.

The Empress Dowager was naturally very happy to hear this. She had been the head of the palace for so many years and had owned so many good things. In fact, she didn't care about these things anymore.

But when she heard that her eldest son had been thinking about her like this, she immediately felt gratified.

"Imperial Mother, just pretend that you don't know, okay? His Majesty wants to give you a surprise." Lin Jiabao said to the Empress Dowager in a spoiled manner.

"Okay!

Imperial Mother, I'll pretend that I don't know. "The Empress Dowager laughed heartily and ordered the dowager imperial concubines.

"You're not allowed to spread rumors."

"Yes." The dowager imperial concubines responded in unison.

At this time, Wen Wenqian lowered her head and wished that there was a hole in the ground to hide in.

She had underestimated Lin Jiabao's position in the Empress Dowager's heart. Today, she was a bit too hasty.

After leaving Yong Shou Palace, Wen Wenqian quickly caught up with Lin Jiabao's carriage.

"Imperial Noble Lord, I didn't mean what I said today. I just thought that the agarwood would be good for the Empress Dowager's health. I didn't mean anything else.

Imperial Noble Lord, please don't take it to heart. If this matter makes you unhappy, then it's my fault. Please don't take it to heart. "

Lin Jiabao said faintly: "I'm not angry. Princess Yi is worrying too much.

It's getting late. I'll return to Pingle Park first. "

He didn't know if Princess Yi did it on purpose or not, but if it damaged her husband's reputation, then he wouldn't let it go.

Wen Wenqian could only watch as Lin Jiabao's carriage carried him away. As the Imperial Noble Lord, Lin Jiabao's extravagance was even greater than before. The number of palace maids and eunuchs following him also increased.

Whether it was his high status, the Emperor's favor, or the Empress Dowager's favoritism, everything about Lin Jiabao made her jealous.

One late night in June, the Yuan Fu's anxious voice sounded outside the bedchamber.

"Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! "

"Come in." Xuanyuan Hancheng woke up with a start.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Retired Emperor is about to die … The Empress Dowager sent someone over to ask you to hurry over!" The Yuan Fu reported.

When Xuanyuan Hancheng heard this, he immediately got up and changed his clothes. He said to Lin Jiabao, who had also woken up, "I'll go over first. You bring the Dun Dun over later. Be careful on the way." Then he gave a few instructions to the Yuan Fu.

By the time Lin Jiabao arrived, most of the people had already arrived.

In addition to the princes and princesses, there were also dowager concubines and imperial concubines.

Some of the important officials of the imperial court had also arrived.

Lin Jiabao carried the Dun Dun to Retired Emperor's bedside. At this time, Akinori Zhaoshen was already on his deathbed.

Prince Yi and Princess Yi also rushed over from outside the palace.

"Imperial Father!

Imperial Father! "Xuanyuan Hanqi loudly called out to his Imperial Father.

Akinori Zhaoshen slowly woke up. His eyes slowly moved. He looked at his Empress, then looked at his children. Then he looked at the Dun Dun in Lin Jiabao's hands.

His slightly trembling finger pointed in the direction of the Dun Dun, as if he wanted to say something.

Xuanyuan Hancheng understood his Imperial Father's meaning. He quickly said in a low voice, "Imperial Father, don't worry. This son will definitely pass down the legacy of the Xuanyuan dynasty!"

"Good …" Akinori Zhaoshen struggled to spit out the word "good". He revealed a gratified smile and then left.
