He couldn't afford to pay the five thousand taels of silver for the Shoushan Stone, and when he heard that the man who walked the dart was angry, he actually sold the Shoushan Stone to the Song family.

This is good, under Song Hu's propaganda, the entire court already knows that Lu Ziyou can't even take out five thousand taels of silver, and he has to pay this silver tael from his father-in-law's family. For a while, the court was full of praise for Song Hu.

Lu Ziyou lost such face, and he was also angry, but he didn't dare to say more. It's just that I don't know what birthday gift he gave to the queen today.

Just when Si Tingyan was thinking about it, he saw that the people in front of him had already finished congratulating their birthdays, and it was already Lu Ziyou's turn.

Lu Ziyou lowered his head and slowly stood up, the little servant behind him held a red tray in his hand, covered with a red cloth, and walked slowly to the Queen Mother with Lu Ziyou.

"Lu Ziyou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, today there is a piece of gold wire trimmed jade pette dedicated to the Queen Mother, please accept it with a smile. ”

As he spoke, Lu Ziyou raised his chin slightly to the little guy behind him.

Seeing this, the little servant lifted the red cloth belt to reveal a palm-sized jade pendant on the tray.

When the officials saw this, they were all whispering, and the voices of discussion came and went one after another for a while.

The Queen Mother glanced at the things in the tray, smiled indifferently, and waved her hand slightly at Lu Ziyou, "The mourning family heard that Lu Shilang got a Shoushan stone some time ago, but he specially asked Lord Shangshu to give it to the mourning family, and he prepared such a jade pendant. The squire is also filial to Shangshu. ”

How could Lu Ziyou not hear the sarcasm in the Queen Mother's mouth?

There was already a reason between him and the Queen Mother.

Back then, the queen mother's nephew, now General Huwei, valued Song Lan and had already asked the queen mother to ask for marriage.

Who knows, Lu Ziyou made the first move, grabbed ahead of the Queen Mother, and married Song Lan.

Supposedly, this is not a big deal.

But Lu Ziyou lost his words after drinking, saying that General Huwei was just relying on the power of the Queen Mother, and he had no ability.

Somehow, these words reached the ears of the Queen Mother, and for a while, the Queen Mother was also dissatisfied with Lu Ziyou.

Therefore, today, when the Queen Mother caught Lu Ziyou's handle, she naturally wanted to sneer.

When Lu Ziyou heard this, his face was also bruised and white, and he only squeezed out a little embarrassed smile, "The Queen Mother said with a smile." ”

Before Lu Ziyou's words fell, he saw that Si Tingyan, who was sitting by the door, had already stood up and walked forward slowly in front of everyone.

His move also attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, which made Si Luo, who was sitting on the side, even more frightened.

"The Queen Mother is above, the grass people Si Tingyan, and Lu Yunxi, the daughter of the Acting Waiter, specially presented four scented candles as a congratulatory gift for the mother. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ziyou also looked away in surprise, and glanced at Si Tingyan in confusion.

"Lu Yunxi?"

The Queen Mother's eyebrows were furrowed, one hand was lightly placed in front of her, and she stared at the tray in Si Tingyan's hand and thought for a long time, "I have some impression of that girl, she is a girl who acts properly and smartly." Why didn't she come to the palace banquet today?"

Si Tingyan turned his head and looked at Lu Ziyou.

Lu Ziyou's face tightened, his back stiffened, his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to answer.

It was Si Tingyan who took the Queen Mother's words, "Let's ask the Queen Mother to take a look at the birthday gift first." ”

Hearing this, the father-in-law who was waiting beside the Queen Mother took the tray in Si Tingyan's hand, lifted the red cloth, and revealed the four candles in the tray

Compared to ordinary candles, these four candles are much thicker. One is purple, one is orange, one is red, and one is milky white.

If you are close to the candle, you will faintly smell a faint fragrance. Every candle has a different scent.

The purple one smelled soothing, with a faint lavender scent.

The orange is a hint of orange, and the sweet fruity aroma is even more enticing when it comes to the color of the whole body.

The remaining two are roses and jasmine, each with its own flavor.

When the Queen Mother smelled those smells, she couldn't help but let out a few exclamations, raised her head with a slightly surprised look, and glanced at Si Tingyan, "Why are these candles so special?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, Lu Yunxi knew that the Queen Mother was not sleeping well, so she specially made these four scented candles. Before you go to bed at night, light one in the dormitory, and the burning of the candle will volatilize the fragrance in the candle body, so that the fragrance will be diffused and have the effect of sleeping peacefully. ”

After listening to Si Tingyan's words, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, and waved her hand to the eunuch on one side, "Is it? At night, the mourning family has to give it a try. ”

Lu Ziyou raised his head in surprise, glanced at the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but sink in his heart.

Even His Majesty on one side also looked surprised, don't look over, and look at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother understood the emperor's meaning and explained: "The mourning family is getting older, and the sleep is naturally getting less and less, and those gold, silver and jade ornaments have long been outside the body, but this thing sent by Lu Yunxi can not only solve the symptoms of insomnia in the mourning family, but also the things she made with her own hands, this heart, how can it be compared with ordinary gifts?"

The emperor rarely saw the queen mother like this, and his heart was also tight, so he patted his knee and showed a smile, "Lu Shilang, I want to see your daughter." You might as well announce that she will come to see her. ”

"This ......"

Lu Ziyou frowned, put his hands together, lowered his head, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and showed a little embarrassment.

"What's the inconvenience?"

Seeing this, the emperor raised the corners of his eyebrows unhappily, stared at Lu Ziyou with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

Chapter 122: Reprimand in the court

Lu Ziyou's throat moved up and down, only feeling that his mouth was dry, but he couldn't say a word.

He lowered his head, thought for a long time, and was about to answer, but Si Tingyan had already taken over the conversation, "Back to Your Majesty, Queen Mother." ”

Si Tingyan said, lifted the robe in front of him, folded his hands in front of his forehead, knelt on the ground and saluted, "Miss Lu was punished in the Shilang's mansion, thrown into the firewood room and detained, her body is weak, I am afraid that I will not be able to come to greet the two of you." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ziyou's pupils tightened suddenly, don't turn his head, and looked at Si Tingyan with a panicked expression.

Not only Lu Ziyou, but also Si Wei was also taken aback by Si Tingyan's bold move.

He couldn't help but look at the emperor and the queen mother on the main seat.

"Detention?"

The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly, the corners of her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she glanced at Lu Ziyou, and then looked at Si Tingyan, "Even if Miss Tanglang is at fault, how can she be seriously injured if she is punished in the mansion?"

Si Tingyan only turned his head sideways and looked at Lu Ziyou, "Then the grass people don't know, it was Lord Lang and the second lady of the Shilang Mansion who asked the grass people to go to the doctor that day, and Miss Lu was still dying, as for the reason, I am afraid that I still have to ask Lord Shilang and the second miss of the Shilang Mansion to know." ”
