This phoenix robe is not entirely made of silver from the treasury!

On the same day, the Shangyi supervisor sent a drawing of the crown of the birthday phoenix robe, but she changed it again and again!

She always felt that she was not gorgeous enough, not extraordinary enough, not enough to be unforgettable!

Since she never achieved the effect she wanted, she invited the supervisor of Shangyi, the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, to Cining Palace that day......

The two of them were about to cry, and they insisted that there were not so many Eastern jewels in the treasury that could meet the requirements of the Queen Mother! If they were to procure, they were afraid that they would not be able to choose suitable gemstones, and they were afraid that they would not be able to meet the construction deadline.

She didn't know that these old men who were better than monkeys were reluctant to use a lot of money, and they were afraid that they would spend a lot of money and take responsibility, so they simply began to shirk it.

At that time, this phoenix robe had exceeded the budget, and the emperor had never loved these things, and he couldn't find a few things in his private treasury that could be used.

And the queen is simple, and she didn't want to search for it.

In the end, seeing that time was getting tighter and tighter, she thought that all these jewels would be used on her body anyway, so she opened her small private vault and found all kinds of gemstones she had accumulated for decades and set them on the phoenix robe.

The treasury, on the other hand, contributed less than a quarter of the jewels.

Therefore, this phoenix robe is her heart's blood, her heart's blood! It is the combination of the treasures she has saved all her life!

Especially the ruby the size of a small egg on the crown of the head, which was a treasure given by Emperor Taizong when the first emperor married her.

This is the largest, clearest and brightest color she has ever seen in her life.

She has been thinking of finding an opportunity to wear this red treasure on her body and accept the worship of all peoples.

How did this carelessness make a big mistake?

This ruby can be sold for at least 20,000 taels of silver!

How can you split and donate!

However, at this moment, Qi Shushu knelt and called Chitose, Qi Shushu was singing praises to himself, and Qi Shushu was blessing himself The noble lady who was blessed with his blessings was worshipping himself with their admiration and sincere eyes!

What could she do?

Say that Concubine Xian lied?

said that even if she hung this phoenix robe, looking at it, if she didn't wear it in this life, she wouldn't give it away?

Say she doesn't bless, doesn't sing, just these gems?

Lin Yaru!

This slut is still laughing!

Smile brighter and brighter every time!

Laughing more and more every time!

Provocative!

Even if she thought that she would be fooled, she would take off her phoenix robe, so she pushed herself out in public!

What to do?

What else can I do besides swallowing my anger?......

Lin Yaru is gently shaking the ivory fan in her hand with her bare hands, admiring the bitterness of the old witch.

But she thought it was that simple? Everything was just beginning! Could she really be so bored, just to make her uncomfortable? Hehe! Let's see!

Lin Yaru's lips became more and more raised......

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was held in the Cining Garden in the south of Cining Palace.

This big birthday is under the sole responsibility of Concubine Xian.

In terms of the royal family, in addition to the princes and princesses in the palace, the main people who came to the banquet were several princes and county kings, and then there were some princesses and county lords who were married. The palace concubines were only allowed to participate in the banquet if they were nobles or above. The rest of the guests were from the noble family.

It was a family banquet, and even the officials were not present.

The only exception is the Dragon and Tiger General's Mansion and several senior members of the cabinet, and the family of the virtuous concubine's mother, Lin Saijiu.

Therefore, this scale is not big, but it is not small, and it is slightly stronger than the scale of ordinary flowers and spring and snow, so it is strange that the Queen Mother can be happy.

Moreover, the emperor intended to reduce expenses, and the entire Cining Garden was only slightly decorated, and did not make Yushu Qionghua, extravagant and wasteful.

Fortunately, this garden has always been well maintained, the atmosphere is dignified, strange flowers and stones, just a little arrangement, but it is not lost, but even so, compared with the expectations of the Queen Mother, it is tantamount to a world of difference.

Shen Moyun, as the hottest county lord in Beijing, naturally wanted to attend the banquet, but she didn't expect Shen Mu and the Yao family to also be invited. Does the emperor still want to continue to exalt himself?

Shen Mu trembled, the Yao family was very nervous, they never thought that they would have today's honor and be able to step into the real royal land with one foot.

Especially Shen Mu, he went from having no love in his original life, to regretting and reflecting, and then trying his best to make up for it, when the dawn can be exerted to his residual heat, he thought that he could have no regrets, but he didn't expect that there was still a chance to be bright at this moment, and he suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart......

After Shen Moyun instructed them carefully, he specially instructed Yao Huang to follow the two of them to take care of them, and then they entered the palace together.

When they arrived, they heard that the Queen Mother was talking to the Nie family in the warm pavilion.

Shen Moyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Lin Yaru is generous!

Why did you put the embarrassment together at this time?

Several members of the Nie family came this time! The head of the Nie family, Nie Yan and his wife, and several young ladies have arrived.

The birthday feast was held soon.

The old witch was in front of her and bowed down to the crowd.

However, her complexion never got better, and even the smile on her face was only superficial, and it couldn't hide her displeasure at all.

The emperor arrived with the empress.

The Queen Mother glared at the queen fiercely, very disappointed and angry at her niece's uselessness.

The emperor laughed, knelt down solemnly and kowtowed, and offered a large number of congratulations, which finally made the queen a little lighter.

The Queen Mother beckoned the Emperor to come over to her, wanting to fight for the phoenix robe and tiara.

However, the emperor clearly saw the Empress Dowager's intentions.

He had no intention of stepping forward.

Instead, the emperor knelt on the ground first, once again singing praises of virtue, saying that he was grateful to his mother for being willing to lead by example, reduce the scale of Dashou, and use the saved silver taels for the people and the court. He kowtowed to the Queen Mother on behalf of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and thanked the Queen Mother for her profound righteousness.

He also thanked the queen mother for taking the lead in donating the phoenix robe crown when the country needed it, and the queen mother is indeed worthy of being an example for all people, a model for women, and the embodiment of righteousness......

He said that he had decided to use one-third of the one million taels of silver saved at this birthday banquet for subsidies for exemption from local conscription, one-third for water conservancy and people's livelihood construction, and one-third for military supplies.

In addition, the emperor was determined to take the lead in opening up sources and reducing expenditures......

The sound of Chitose echoed in my ears again!

The old lady felt like she was going to choke to death.

A high hat flew in, kneeling at her feet one by one, she is an example, a model, the embodiment of righteousness,

Can she say half a word?

Especially when this kind of emperor has taken all kinds of reasons and lost all power himself!

However, the Queen Mother didn't have time to think of countermeasures, and soon understood the last sentence of the emperor's words.

Open source and reduce expenditure?......
