Empress Dowager Xiao's henchman Mama Ding stepped forward and personally picked up Emperor Qinglong, and Empress Cao also got up. The concubines www.biquge.info the pen and the pavilion also got up and sat down.

"Your filial piety, the mourning family knows!" Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "This birthday has passed every year, according to the meaning of the mourning family, there is no need to be so prosperous." ”

Emperor Qinglong walked to the position beside her and sat down, and said gently: "It's just a piece of the minister's heart." At present, the four seas are peaceful, the inner library is full, and the queen mother does not have to worry. ”

Empress Cao presented a handmade dress and said with a smile: "The emperor often talks to his sons that it is not easy for the queen mother to raise her. Erchen thought, there is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry here for the queen mother, how can those mundane things enter the eyes of the queen mother?

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and quipped: "Who says I don't love that vulgar thing? ”

Empress Cao made a hurt look, and said aggrievedly: "It turns out that the son didn't have the mind to touch the queen mother, so he really should be beaten!"

"But," Empress Dowager Xiao changed her tone and said, "Since you made it yourself, it is naturally much more expensive than ordinary gold." Open it up and let the mourners take a good look. ”

Empress Cao smiled and said, "The old man's vision is naturally good! ”

Her colorful clothes made Empress Dowager Xiao laugh, and said to Emperor Qinglong: "Look, your daughter-in-law's ability to fight snakes with sticks is really good!

Emperor Qinglong's face softened, and he looked at Empress Cao's gaze a little more gentle, and said with a smile: "If she has anything wrong, the queen mother can only punish her." ”

"The mourning family doesn't do such ugly people. Punish her, the emperor should be heartbroken!"

At the moment when they were talking, Empress Cao had already walked to the middle, personally picked up the folded clothes from the tray, and presented them to the Queen Mother.

There is nothing special about this dress, nor is it wearing a large dress for a visitor, and there is not the slightest glimmer of brilliance. The words of praise prepared by the concubines below were swallowed back into their stomachs, and they had to think about it again.

But when Empress Dowager Xiao saw it, she motioned to Empress Cao to bring her the clothes, stroked the smooth stitches and soft fabrics, and said with a smile: "The queen has a heart!"

Emperor Qinglong's eyes swept over his clothes and nodded. This birthday gift is not expensive, and there is no sensationalism. The fabric used is not the most expensive, but it is the most comfortable, and it is the most suitable for the daily wear of the Queen Mother in the palace. With such an intimate ironing, it is no wonder that the Queen Mother is satisfied.

Empress Cao's actions are as steady as ever.

It's just that Emperor Qinglong's mood is different this year, and he found that Empress Cao is thoughtful and safe in everything, and he didn't let him put any effort into managing Nuoda's harem. Her evaluation in Emperor Qinglong's heart was invisibly a few points higher.

When the crown princess Fu came in a soft sedan chair, it was a lively time in Yanqing Palace.

She got up from the sedan chair, and the close-fitting maid Shui Lan picked her up. Fu Shi touched the scripture book in his arms, and carefully went through the words that he was about to say in his heart before slowly stepping up to the steps in front of the hall.

Fu's figure looked a little dignified and struggling.

"Granddaughter-in-law Fu, His Royal Highness the Acting Prince, I wish the imperial grandmother Wanfu Jin'an, Shoubi Nanshan, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled kindly, as if she didn't know what happened a few days ago, and she just asked why the prince didn't appear at the moment.

Fu Shi couldn't help but cry out in his heart, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't answer her words at all, how could she speak? Not to mention that there was an emperor and queen by her side.

It's just that she comes to celebrate her birthday every year, and she knows the rules of this birthday.

In Yanqing Palace, the emperor, the concubines, and the prince celebrate their birthdays, which can be regarded as a family of blood relatives. Then the Queen Mother will move to Baolin Garden, and after receiving the congratulations of all the ladies, they will have a birthday banquet together.

After the lunch break, Empress Dowager Xiao will watch the play with the ladies on the high stage, which is lively and lively.

Therefore, the only time she can see the Queen Mother is this precious quarter of an hour. Thinking of the prince handing over the Buddhist scriptures to herself, that kind of disgraced look and the fierce light in her eyes made her shudder.

Swallowing his saliva, he didn't care about the abruptness, and said with a smile: "Imperial grandmother, just now those are just granddaughter-in-law's birthday gifts, and the prince's birthday gifts are still in the arms of granddaughter-in-law! Before granddaughter-in-law went out, the prince told him a thousand times that he must present the birthday gift he prepared to the imperial grandmother, in order to show his guilt that he could not fulfill his filial piety under the imperial grandmother's knees. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Shi only felt that the entire hall was quiet.

Emperor Qinglong lowered his eyes, his face did not show any sadness and joy; Empress Cao looked at her with a trace of pity in her eyes; even Empress Dowager Xiao's smile on her face froze for a while.

Fu Shi sat there, only to feel the overwhelming pressure rushing towards her, making her breathless. But the words have been spoken, and at this moment she can only bite the bullet and present the Buddhist scriptures copied by the prince.

She forced a smile and said, "The prince sincerely repents, and the imperial grandmother will read it for his filial piety......"

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, and without waiting for her to finish speaking, she asked Liuli to come forward and take it and put it in her hand. But he didn't read it, and said lightly: "The prince's filial piety, the mourning family knows." ”

Fu Shi looked embarrassed and wanted to say more. Before she came, the task given to her by the prince was clear and clear, but now the words of intercession have not been said for half a minute, and the attitude of the three in front of her makes her dare not continue.

She originally thought that Empress Dowager Xiao would read one or two of the Buddhist scriptures after receiving them, and then praise a few words about the prince's handwriting and the like. She climbed up the pole and asked for the opportunity for the prince to enter the palace to celebrate his birthday.

As long as you can enter the palace, the punishment of being grounded for three months will naturally be invalid.

Empress Cao looked at her coldly, the prince was reprimanded in the imperial study, and she knew the ins and outs of it very well. Unexpectedly, the prince was so uncontrollable. It's only been a few days, so let Fu take the opportunity of Empress Dowager Xiao's birthday to intercede.

At this time, Emperor Qinglong's anger was still unsubsided, and he used filial piety to act, and the prince really killed himself.

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled into a beautiful arc. Isn't it the best thing for her opponent to make mistakes one after another? On this matter, her position is sensitive and delicate, and she has made up her mind that she will not speak.

Emperor Qinglong's mood fluctuated, and his good mood in the early morning was ruined. Such opportunistic tricks, the prince did not seem to understand his good intentions at all, let alone why he would be punished for being grounded.

Empress Dowager Xiao spoke, ignoring Fu's embarrassment, picked up the tea at hand and drank it slowly.

Fu Shi is standing at the moment, and he really can't advance or retreat. Several times, I tried to muster up the courage to speak, but the words came to my mouth and swallowed back.

Empress Dowager Xiao put down the teacup, glanced at her, and said in a slightly surprised: "Are you still there?"
