Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gift Turmoil

Shen Yunqing blinked, and then laughed: "I...... I felt that what I had prepared didn't seem to be very good, and it seemed that I couldn't handle it. I'll take a look at the situation first, and then decide whether to ......give a gift or not."

Shen Yunqing's words were right in Shen Wanbai's arms.

Shen Wanbai naturally wanted her first, after all, she had been preparing for such a long time.

She had to be the first to go to get the best results.

Once the father sees her things, even if there are other people who offer gifts later, the father will definitely feel ......

It's a little bland.

"That'll do. Shen Wanbai looked like she had been driven to the shelves, lowered her eyes, and then whispered to Shen Yunqing: "Imperial sister, you don't need to worry too much, no matter what the imperial sister prepares, it is also a heart, and my father will definitely like it." ”

"Hmm......" Shen Yunqing's face was slightly red: "I'm in the palace, I haven't seen anything good, I think the things I prepared are very good." But now seeing such a magnificent banquet in this palace, I am really a little panicked. ”

Seeing Shen Yunqing's appearance of never seeing the world, Shen Wanbai's eyes flashed with disdain, and he only smiled and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

Soon, the sound of silk and bamboo outside gradually weakened, and the queen sitting in the back seat glanced at Shen Wanbai, and the mother and daughter looked at each other, as if everything had already been arranged.

The queen's laughing voice sounded: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and it is also the day of our family reunion." Wan Bai had also made a special trip to prepare a generous gift for His Majesty. ”

As soon as the queen's voice fell, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Wanbai.

"Oh, what's it? Bring it up and show it to me. ”

Shen Wanbai stood up, walked out of the inner hall, and arrived in the main hall.

"The daughter prepared a dress for her father, which was drawn by the daughter herself, and was also made by the daughter herself, I hope my father will like it. ”

Shen Wanbai said, then turned around and opened the brocade box held by the palace man, ready to take out the clothes from the brocade box.

Wanbai put a lot of thought into this gift, and the embroidery on it was embroidered by her own hands, and her fingers were poked with needles I don't know how many times. I couldn't bear it and wanted to tell her to give up, but she refused to live or die. ”

"Fortunately, although I suffered a lot of crimes, I was able to make it before the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet. ”

The virtuous concubine on the side frowned when she heard the queen say this, and her eyes subconsciously fell on Shen Yunqing's body.

Only she knew that Shen Yunqing was also preparing a set of clothes.

Both of them were prepared clothes, but if Shen Wanbai made them by himself, then the one prepared by Shen Yunqing would be disadvantaged.

"Wanbai is a good one, take out your clothes and let me see them. Emperor Wei quipped: "Although you did it yourself, if you don't do it well, I won't wear it." ”

"Yes. Shen Wanbai took out the things from the box and unfolded them in front of everyone: "Daughter...... Although the daughter has been learning embroidery for many years, this is indeed the first time for the daughter to make clothes, and the father should not dislike it. ”

The clothes had been displayed in front of everyone, and Emperor Wei took a closer look, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, this is really what you did?"

"That's ...... nature"

Before Shen Wanbai's words fell, the virtuous concubine in the inner hall suddenly stood up.

Concubine Xian's movements were a little big, and the short table in front of her was pushed to make a sharp sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Emperor Wei frowned, a little displeased: "Concubine Xian, what are you doing here?"

Concubine Xian's eyes fell on the clothes fixedly, ignoring Emperor Wei's words, only came out from behind the low table, walked in front of Shen Wanbai, stared at the clothes fixedly for a moment, and even reached out to touch the texture of the clothes and looked at the embroidery of the clothes.

"Concubine Xian!" Emperor Wei was annoyed.

A hint of ridicule flashed in the queen's eyes: "What's wrong with Sister Xian, why is this look like this? But what's wrong with this dress made by Wanbai?"

Concubine Xian is now so unruly, in front of His Majesty and the courtiers, in addition to being ugly, even the gods are difficult to save.

The queen was secretly thinking, but she saw Concubine Xian turn her head and salute Emperor Wei: "Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive the rudeness of the concubine, it is really that the concubine is a little too surprised to see this dress." ”

Emperor Wei's face was full of displeasure: "What is surprising you to see the clothes Wanbai made for me?"

Concubine Xian turned her head to look at Shen Yunqing, and when she saw Shen Yunqing's timid look, she turned her head again: "The concubine is naturally surprised, the fifth princess said that this dress was drawn by the fifth princess herself, and even the patterns were embroidered by herself." Did the concubine hear me right?"

"Yes, this is what Wanbai did with his own hands, what's wrong?

Concubine Xian raised her eyes and looked at the queen: "Naturally, there is a problem. ”

"A few days ago, the third princess once came to find a concubine. ”

"Yun Qing?" Emperor Wei glanced at Shen Yunqing, who was sitting inside, and became more and more puzzled: "What does this matter have to do with Yun Qing?"

"If it matters, please also ask Your Majesty to listen to the concubine. ”

Concubine Xian saluted: "The third princess came to find the concubine that day because she heard that the Mid-Autumn Festival was going to hold a palace banquet, so she wanted to prepare a gift for Your Majesty and present it to Your Majesty at today's palace banquet." ”

"The gift that the third princess asked her concubine to prepare for her is also a piece of clothing. ”

Emperor Wei became more and more puzzled: "So what? Is there anything wrong with this?"

Originally, there was no problem, but when the fifth princess took out this dress, the concubine found that the fifth princess made it with her own hands, and even the embroidery was embroidered by herself, which was almost exactly the same as the clothes made by the third princess and the concubine outside the palace. ”

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Even the queen and Shen Wanbai changed their faces in unison.

"How is it possible?" the corners of Shen Wanbai's mouth trembled slightly: "This is impossible." ”

"Three princesses. Concubine Xian turned her head to look at Shen Yunqing: "It's better to ask the third princess to bring the gift she prepared and take a look, and you will know at a glance." ”

Shen Yunqing was silent for a moment with hesitation on his face, and then finally stood up, took out the clothes from the mahogany brocade box in Zhuyin's hand behind him, and then walked to Shen Wanbai's side with the clothes, lowered his head and unfolded the clothes.

Emperor Wei was stunned.

The faces of the queen and Shen Wanbai also changed.

A whisper sounded in the hall: "It's really exactly the same." ”

"It's not just patterns. The corners of Concubine Xian's mouth hooked, and she looked at the queen fixedly: "Your Majesty can touch it in person, and take a look, the material of this fabric, the style and stitching of this embroidery, is it exactly the same as the one offered by the fifth princess!"
