"Today is the Queen's birthday, and I am deeply gratified that the Queen has done her best to manage the affairs of the harem for me on weekdays. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so today I and all the secretaries of the family, I wish the queen happiness such as the East China Sea, and also wish me the peace of the Great Chu country. ”

As soon as the courtiers below got up, the Emperor of Chu opened his mouth to express his birthday blessings to the queen and his blessings to Great Chu. The emperor opened his mouth first, and the courtiers below bowed again.

"I wish the queen a blessed mother like the East China Sea, and God bless Dachu."

I have to say that Emperor Chu's move satisfied the vanity of the queen to a great extent, and the smile on her face also went straight to the bottom of her heart. She raised her arm and waved her hand and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up."

"Queen Xie"

With the beginning of Emperor Chu, after all the ministers got up and took their seats, the prince took the lead in approaching, saluted the queen and said: "The joy of the queen mother's birthday, the son specially asked people to go to the East China Sea to find an East Pearl to present to the queen mother, and wish the queen mother a permanent youth." ”

As soon as the prince's words were finished, the minions behind him immediately held the end plate high. As soon as the prince took off the covering, a huge pearl appeared in front of everyone's eyes, causing a burst of exclamations. The crown prince enjoyed such attention very much, and it was in vain that he sacrificed a large number of Jingwei for this.

The queen mother was also surprised by this huge east pearl, and after the surprise, she was happy. Although the queen is the master of the harem, she is also a woman who loves beauty.

The maidservant standing beside her walked down and took Dongzhu, turned around and handed it to the queen mother, so that the queen mother could watch it up close.

Such a huge pearl obviously won the queen's mother's love, she said to the prince with a smile: "This pearl is so huge, it must have taken a lot of energy, the emperor has a heart, this gift the queen mother likes very much." ”

The superiors are like this, even if they know how much manpower and material resources will be spent behind a Dongzhu and even maybe their lives, they will not take it to heart. All they care about is the result. The prince was praised and returned to his seat with a smug face.

After the crown prince, the third prince also stood up and walked to the middle to salute the queen and said: "On the birthday of the queen mother, although the sons and daughters are not as filial as the prince, they also bothered to prepare a gift, I hope the queen mother can like it." ”

"Oh? What kind of gift did the Three Princes prepare? ”

The third prince is the biggest threat to the crown prince, although the queen does not like him very much on weekdays, but she is also very looking forward to the gifts that the third prince will give.

Hearing the queen's inquiry, the third prince clapped his hands very mysteriously, and soon two people outside walked in carrying something and stopped behind the third prince.

After returning to his mother, Erchen learned that his mother liked the paintings of Master Wuwei the most. So a few days ago, I personally went to Taishan, begging for three days and three nights to finally meet Master Wuwei. After Master Wuwei learned that his son wanted to ask for a painting for his mother, he was greatly moved, and immediately drew this picture of peony wealth, wishing his mother a rich and prosperous birthday, and thousands of mothers. ”

The flower is respected by the peony, and the master of Wuwei is also the Taoist monk of Dachu. Although this gift of the three princes is not comparable to the treasure of the crown prince, it is precious in the heart and rare. The queen mother was also full of joy at this gift and praised it again and again.

The Queen Mother also felt that the gifts of the three princes were ingenious and sincere. opened his mouth and praised and said: "Master Wuwei is dedicated to cultivation and dedication to the Buddha, and it is difficult for ordinary people to invite him." It's hard for the third prince to beg for three days for the queen, Concubine Jiang really gave birth to a good son. ”

The Queen Mother mentioned Concubine Jiang, and Concubine Jiang was very proud of the Queen Mother's praise of her son, but she didn't show it on her face. She bowed slightly to the Queen Mother and thanked her and said:

Empress Dowager Xie praised that the third prince was very playful, and he could only come up with these ghost ideas. A few **** days ago, he said that he was going to go out of the city, and the concubine thought he was going to have fun, but he thought that he was going to ask for a painting for his sister, and even the concubine was taken aback just now. It's rare for this kid to have such a serious time. ”

Concubine Jiang said so, but listening to her tone, you can know that she is extremely satisfied with her son.

Emperor Chu was also very appreciative of the gifts prepared by the three princes, and his opening was in line with Concubine Jiang's words: "Ai Concubine is a prejudice, I see Yan Hao very well, I am humble enough to ask for advice, and many ministers in the court still appreciate him." ”

Emperor Chu's praise is something that some people are happy and some are worried. On weekdays, the crown prince and the third prince have been fighting endlessly, and the prince is proud and impulsive. On the other hand, the three princes know how to be much more sleek, and the voice of the three princes is higher compared to the two phases.

"If the emperor also said so, that kid should be proud."

The third prince was praised by the queen mother, which made Concubine Jiang happy, and now that he has the emperor's praise, it is even more glorious, and he flattered Emperor Chu. But Emperor Chu also likes to eat this set the most, and the two of them frowned in front of the queen.

Usually, Emperor Chu is particularly fond of Concubine Jiang, and although the queen is extremely angry in her heart, she can only endure such a scene today. The joy of receiving the painting of Master Wuwei also disappeared, and he said to the third prince with a little stiffness in his tone: "The third prince has a heart, and the palace is very satisfied with this gift." ”

The queen accepted the gifts of the three princes, and the other princes and ministers also stepped forward one after another to offer various gifts to the queen. Those gifts are not as precious as the crown prince and the hearts of the three princes, but they are also rare treasures on weekdays. The queen mother accepted these gifts, and the smile on her face became deeper and deeper.

After it was the turn of King Jing's Mansion to give gifts, everyone's eyes were on the location of King Jing's Mansion. Everyone knows that although King Jing's legs are crippled, Prince Jing has been very successful in business over the years.

Now the industry of King Jing's Mansion has spread all over Da Chu, and it can be said that the richest person in Da Chu today is none other than Prince Jing Mo Lianqi. King Jing's Mansion is so rich that it rivals the country, and the gift given must be extraordinary.

Gu Tingcheng didn't know the special existence of King Jing's Mansion in Dachu, and seeing everyone's very expectant eyes, she put her gaze back on Mo Lianqi's body, meaning to ask him, what gift have you prepared?

No wonder Gu Qingcheng would have asked this question, although King Jing's Mansion is now her housekeeper, but she has always been lazy, most of the things are done by the housekeeper, and she only checks it out for three or five days. She didn't even ask about preparing gifts beforehand.

Mo Lianqi didn't answer her, nor did he step out of his position, but set his eyes on Wen Tian. After Wen Tian received his gaze, he nodded at him, turned around and walked to the middle, took out a very small brocade box from his sleeve, and raised his hands above his head.

Everyone originally thought that even if the Jing Wangfu did not prepare a precious and abnormal gift, at least it would prepare a big gift. Who would have expected that what Wen Tian took out was just a brocade box that couldn't be smaller.

Could it be that the gift prepared by King Jing's Mansion for the Queen Mother is this? Probably not, maybe the real gift is still to come.

Everyone's thoughts are also the queen's thoughts, she looked at King Jing and asked, "Is the gift prepared by King Jing still behind?" ”

When Wen Tian took out the small brocade box, Gu Qingcheng's heart was also shocked. Shouldn't this be a birthday gift for the queen mother? For such a big scene, it is not good for him to express his dissatisfaction so publicly.

Just when Gu Qingcheng was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, Mo Lianqi opened his mouth to answer the queen's inquiry:

"This is the gift prepared by the younger brother for the queen's mother, and the queen's mother will definitely like it."

Mo Lianqi didn't say anything, only that the queen would definitely like this gift. Everyone present wanted to know as soon as possible what kind of treasure was hidden in that small brocade box.

Listening to King Jing's answer, the queen's smile was paralyzed for a moment, but she quickly recovered to her original state, and asked the maid behind her to go down and take Wentian's brocade box and present it.

After the brocade box was held in the hands of the queen mother, everyone's eyes looked at her hand eagerly. The queen mother complied with everyone's expectations, opened the small brocade box, and an exclamation came out of her mouth.

Prince Jing is right, the queen really likes this gift very much.

Just when everyone wanted to see what kind of gift could make the queen exclaim, the queen quickly closed the brocade box and put it in her sleeve pocket and said:

"Prince Jing's gift is very pleasantly surprised, and Bengong likes it very much. In order to express the gratitude of the palace, the palace is here to give the prince a drink. ”

The queen expressed her gratitude to Prince Jing so solemnly, which aroused everyone's curiosity. It's just that at the birthday banquet of the queen mother in such a scene, they didn't dare to ask, so they could only watch Prince Jing raise his glass to pay tribute to the queen mother.

The people below didn't dare to ask, but the Emperor of Chu, as the husband of the queen, could ask.

"I don't know what gift my brother gave to make the queen like it so much?"

The emperor's words are also what everyone wants to ask, and everyone is waiting for the queen's answer. However, the queen just smiled shyly and said:

"It's just a little thing that the concubine has been asking for, although it is not a precious thing, but it is the most rare thing in the concubine's heart. Because it's not something that is rare to see, I won't say it here to make everyone laugh. ”

The queen didn't say anything, and Emperor Chu didn't want to ask any more, but he also had a little doubt in his heart, although he raised his wine glass to drink, his eyes were slanted at King Jing.

Next came the gifts of some officials' wives, because the queen had already received the most favorite gifts, so those gifts were just reported and sent directly to the queen mother.

During this period, Gu Tingcheng also privately asked Mo Lianqi what the gift he gave to the queen mother was, and why the queen mother was so excited to receive that gift. But Mo Lianqi's secrecy work was very strict, and he only said that he would tell her after returning home, which made Gu Qingcheng's heart itch all the time.
