Although the Queen Mother is silent on her face, she has been looking forward to it in her heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's been too hard lately, and she has just eaten a stomach full of anger, which caused her to put the only hope of happiness on this birthday gift.

However, she found that this hope would eventually turn to despair.

Except for a pair of antique porcelain vases worth thousands of gold sent by the Nie family, all the other congratulatory gifts were simply impossible to look at.

Even those princesses and concubines did not come up with a surprise and truly happy gift.

The same is either the painting, the words written, the poem written by the hand, or the objects embroidered by the person himself, and the ornaments made by the hand. I only see the mind, but not the value.

To her, it's all rubbish!

The porcelain, antiques, and treasures she expected did not appear......

Yao, who was sitting behind Shen Moyun, also gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

They were invited suddenly, and after the Shen Mansion was empty, they didn't have any gifts at hand.

Shen Moyun picked out two pieces of jade from the pile of gifts sent by Mrs. Shi last time and handed them to them.

At that time, Shen Mu and the Yao family were a little flustered, which was too shabby for the sixty gifts. But Shen Moyun insisted on laughing and saying that it was okay.

At this moment, if this is the case, everyone present is higher than their family, but their gift is not the cheapest! They clearly saw that a few of them only gave bracelets, jade pendants, or something, which were completely the contents of a hundred taels of silver.

When did the gift to the Queen Mother depreciate to such a point?

It's time for Shen Moyun to play.

She knelt down and offered a complete set of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures. From the Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, to the Jizo Sutra, etc.

She said: The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism! These scriptures are all her handwritten copies, and they are a piece of her mind! Since the Queen Mother is full of heart, these scriptures are practical, and I hope that the Queen Mother can calm down and take good care of her body.

The old lady looked at this face that was as unappetizing as Lin Yaru, and the sweetness in her chest swelled up again.

Another slut!

Others don't know, but she knows it very well!

This set of Buddhist scriptures presented by Shen Moyun was basically copied by her idle when she was keeping filial piety that day! The queen has it, the concubine has it, the eldest princess has it, and she just grabbed it casually and made a birthday gift!

A piece of her heart?

It's her heart, it's right, but it's her disrespectful heart to herself!

Bad luck!

Is this cursing herself to die as early as her mother?

Hehe, she didn't even take herself into account for a little girl, so fooling herself!

The emperor gave the Sanskrit seat, the empress gave Guanyin, the virtuous concubine gave the heart sutra pillow, and Shen Moyun sent the whole set of scriptures. What? Is this to transform Cining Palace into a nunnery or a Buddhist hall?

Let her calm her mind one by one, this is to ask her to sleep on the scriptures, wake up and pray to God and worship the Buddha, and copy the scriptures before going to bed?

The Queen Mother gloomily looked at the congratulatory gifts that continued to be presented behind, without exception, all of them were beautiful in words and shabby in content.

She has been waiting for a long time in her mind for Ru kiln boutiques, antique porcelain, Song Dynasty calligraphy and painting...... None of them appeared!

……

Shen Moyun and Lin Yaru glanced at each other, and the two smiled tacitly.

Shen Moyun had already guessed this result.

She and Lin Yaru naturally deliberately made shabby shots, which made the old witch angry! And other people's shots were beyond their control.

Those who can sit here to participate in the birthday banquet, even if they are not old foxes, are all masters who have experienced deception in the officialdom or in the inner courtyard, and have fought openly and secretly.

It is that every family has its own plan!

First of all, Da Zhou is about to go to war! Everyone knows this.

No matter how abundant the treasury is, once the flames of war are ignited, it will definitely be a flowing expenditure.

The emperor had already begun to prepare for war, so even part of the silver for the empress dowager's birthday was allocated for military supplies.

The first thing they thought of must be that the emperor's silver may not be enough!

At this time, the queen mother's birthday banquet silver taels will be used, so it will not be far from the emperor to launch a big family fundraiser!

At this time, fools also know that wealth is not exposed!

Pretending to be poor and crying poor is the best choice!

After all, if anyone spends a lot of money and comes up with any eye-catching treasures, I'm sorry, nine times out of ten they will become the "first bird".

When the critical moment comes, the emperor will be the first to ask you for generosity.

And as a leader, it naturally needs to be "hit by a shot". If you want to take the lead, then this amount of silver taels is definitely not small!

In addition, there is another important reason why they dare to shrink the congratulatory gift: the emperor's attitude towards the queen mother!

The people may not know it, but these deaf and clear-sighted nobles have already received the news of the loss of power in Cining Palace. Especially when I saw this pomp today, I had a number in my heart.

The emperor was reluctant to even move out of the Qianqing Palace to hold a banquet, which can be seen.

Since the old lady of Cining Palace has lost power, what reason do they have to break the bank? Is it really filial piety? Is it respect? Naturally, they can still save money, and there is no need to waste it.

Besides, if the gift is too expensive and the emperor misunderstands his position, it will be even more worth the loss.

After combining the above factors, almost all the upper-class nobles of the smart Great Zhou Dynasty made the same choice: to find worthless but meaningful treasures to present to the Queen Mother. The safest and least likely to offend people!

The congratulatory gifts prepared before can naturally be returned, and if they cannot be returned, they can be kept as collections or changed hands.

As for the mood of the Cining Palace, they couldn't care about it. Anyway, that one is not a good stubble!

And at this time, the gift has ended, everyone is toasting and drinking, and it is a good time to watch the doorway. Shen Moyun slowly lowered his gaze to the field.

Cui Yiheng would cast his gaze from time to time, and after smiling gently, he would move his gaze without showing a trace.

At this moment, he was taking the wine from the hands of the two princes and drinking it, but he saw that Cui Yiping also paced to his side, stammering and worshiping, and wanted to toast this brother.

The two outstanding sons of the Yongning Marquis Mansion only have one throne, which naturally attracts people's attention, and this move has gained the attention of many people.

Cui Yiheng is also a human spirit, and on this occasion, he will not have any temper, so he will give enough face and do it all.

But Cui Yiping didn't plan to leave, but took the wine jug and continued to pour wine and toast.

Cui Yiheng took a deep look at him, and directly took care of himself three times in a row, and successfully blocked Cui Yiping's mouth. Seeing this, the latter could only bow respectfully and retreat......

This Cui Yiping has successfully received a lot of praise for his politeness. Compared to his brother, he was indeed much more approachable, which was really disgusting.

Guo Jia ran over and secretly pulled Shen Moyun.
