Chapter 35: Congratulatory Gifts
Seeing that I was a little shaken, the queen continued: "Sister Princess, just accept it, the right to be my sister-in-law's meeting gift, and also apologize for not taking care of me in the past two days, you don't have to excuse yourself, otherwise you will teach the palace to be sad!"
Today's performance of this queen Shu Ling'er is beyond my expectations, the kind and humble queen in front of me is still the Shu Ling'er I know who doesn't take anyone in my eyes? I'm afraid that she will not be comfortable sitting in the queen's seat, otherwise on the day of the palace banquet with Longquan Kingdom, the imperial brother will bring Concubine Zhen instead of her!
Since the queen has talked about this, I can't shirk it anymore, so I ordered Su'er to accept the things, and turned to the queen and said euphemistically: "Then thank you to the queen." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Just as I spoke, Concubine Zhen snorted coldly, and the harsh words came into the ears of everyone present along the air, "Yo! The queen mother is really generous, such a good thing that our sisters can't look at on weekdays, it's rare to open her eyes here at Princess Changfeng, or the princess's phoenix life is good!" Concubine Zhen smiled proudly, picked up the handkerchief with her right hand and gently wiped it on the tip of her nose, and continued: "However, the queen mother rewards such a valuable thing, our sisters have always known that you are generous, but this falls into the mouth of the villain who loves to chew the root of the tongue, maybe it will become the righteous sister of the mother in the emperor." ā
Concubine Zhen also deliberately accentuated the word righteous sister, and her words not only ridiculed me, but also slapped the queen's face, secretly mocking the queen's dignity and inferiority, and stammering with me, a folk princess who turned a sparrow into a phoenix.
I'm angry, good concubine, I won't trouble you, you hit the muzzle of the gun first. Without waiting for me to make a move, the queen's voice took the first step into everyone's ears, softly but with a bit of the queen's majesty, "If the palace wants to talk about who is the palace's business, whoever likes to say it will be up to her." Otherwise, Concubine Zhen's sister will also make a phoenix life to stammer to the palace? I want to see which dare to chew their tongues behind the back of the mother of the country!" As soon as the queen spoke, Concubine Zhen was so angry that she stomped her feet, and her face was even more ugly. Not only was he angry with himself, but he also got it back for what he brought me. The queen's meaning is clear, I have a phoenix life to tie me, and if you have the ability, if you can have a phoenix life, she will also stammer, and she will be angry that Concubine Zhen does not have such a life.
I watched coldly, these two people don't seem to deal with each other, looking at this posture, I'm afraid that it will be strange if the two of them don't pinch each other if they continue to talk about it. I cleared my throat and smiled at the queen: "The queen is really humorous, the queen, your mother is the world, which one dares to chew the root of your tongue behind your back." Besides, this phoenix destiny is the will of heaven, and it is beyond your control and me!" I said as I raised my hand without a trace to deliberately reveal the phoenix bracelet, just to let Concubine Zhen see it. As I expected, Concubine Zhen's eyes immediately flashed with jealousy and resentment.
These two are not good stubble, they want to pinch but don't be an eyesore in my palace, although my words are towards the queen, but in my heart there is still a problem for the queen, but the person is short, just there is no way to see the rude pampering of Concubine Zhen, and I have touched my bottom line several times.
One of the concubines in the rose-red dress saw that the wind was not in the right direction, so she began to fall to the queen's side, "Princess Changfeng is right, the mother of the mother is the world, and the concubines should be the only one who is the head of the mother, how can they say that the mother is not." Although the words are obviously lacking in confidence, it is obvious that she is afraid of Concubine Zhen. The rest of the concubines were silent, after all, these two offended no one and had no good fruit to eat.
Concubine Zhen snorted coldly, the silk handkerchief in her hand was fortunately firm, otherwise she would have torn a few pieces.
"Okay, they're all sisters, don't hurt your feelings because of such trivial things. Besides, we are here to give a congratulatory gift to Princess Changfeng today. The concubine in the rose-red dress smiled and made a round, then stood up and saluted me, I remembered that my Jiuyi Changfeng princess is the same as the queen, according to the Fengchi palace system, except for the concubines below the queen who want to salute when they see me, my eyes glanced at Concubine Zhen, and a touch of cunning flashed in my eyes.
After the concubine in the rose-red dress finished her salute, she introduced herself to me flatteringly: "Concubine Concubine Liu Yao has seen Princess Changfeng, congratulations to the princess on her canonization." A little small gift, although not as good as the queen's, but please don't dislike the princess. I opened it and took a look, it was a jade bracelet with good color, nodded and signaled Su'er to accept it, and then said: "Concubine Yu Niangniang is polite, then thank you Niangniang." ā
"If the princess likes it, it's fine. Seeing that I accepted it, Concubine Yu returned happily. I looked at this concubine carefully, a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes are shrewd, high eyebrows, thick lips, fair complexion, and her appearance is naturally beautiful, but at first glance, she is a calculating person, I can't say I dislike her or like her, and I bowed slightly to signal her to sit down.
Then a concubine who was born quietly and beautifully stood up, wearing a light green dress that looked fresh and refined among the flowery concubines, she wanted to salute, but I opened my mouth to stop, "Then everyone doesn't have to salute, but it seems that we are separated." ā
She responded delicately and softly, and her voice was as soft as flowing water flowing between her fingers, and continued: "Zhaoyi Xie Wenjun congratulated the princess on her great joy in canonization, and offered a red bean bracelet with ice pith, wishing the princess a long and happy future." ā
She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her sleeves, and even I couldn't help but feel pity for her delicate and disgusting appearance, glancing at Concubine Zhen, I sighed in my heart, I really don't know what the imperial brother thinks!
The palace maid presented the red bean hand, I took a look, I liked it very much, nodded again and again, only to see that each red bean bead of the hand was red, exquisitely clear, a piece of ice pith cracked from it, there was a kind of lovesickness without a complaint, like a feeling of birth from both sides, only to feel sad in my heart, closed the box, handed it to Su'er, and thanked Xie Wenjun.
Then there were two beauties left, Wang Meiren and Chen Meiren, and what they gave was nothing more than some hairpins and earrings and the like, I accepted them one by one, and my eyes fell on Concubine Zhen, curiously waiting for Concubine Zhen's "big gift".
I saw Concubine Zhen sitting motionless, holding the fragrant tea with her slender hands, tasting it carefully, and the main hall was so quiet that you could hear the sound of tea sliding down her mouth into her esophagus.
"Ahem!" the queen coughed dryly, and Concubine Zhen came back to her senses as if frightened, "Ouch! Look at me, I patronized Princess Changfeng's good tea, and I forgot that there were still congratulatory gifts to be rewarded...... Send the princess!"
I stared at her and smiled, "It's Lin Xue's honor that Niangniang likes my tea here." Since Niangniang likes to ......" I paused slightly, and instructed Su'er: "Su'er, tell me to go down and make a big pot of tea for Concubine Zhen, remember to ask for a big pot!"
When Concubine Zhen heard this, her face changed, and she didn't have time to speak to stop Su'er from responding, so she had to put down the teacup in her hand in embarrassment.
I straightened my voice and said solemnly: "It seems that Concubine Zhen has forgotten something, right?"
Concubine Zhen was startled, looked at me inexplicably, and I continued: "Isn't it time for Concubine Zhen to make a big salute to this princess......?"
