Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Sudden Guest

On May 5, the birthday of Empress Qin Zhaoguo, the whole world celebrates. Not only is the palace look new, but the people in the city are also bright, and the red lanterns are hung high in front of the door, which is full of joy and excitement.

According to the custom, the emperor's breakfast should be eaten with her children, so Mo Youyuan got up early in the morning to put on her makeup and entered the imperial city with Qin Chitong in a carriage.

After entering the palace, Qin Chitong turned around to greet Emperor Qin, and Mo Youyuan went to the queen's Fengning Palace alone with a birthday gift. When the majestic and noble Fengning Palace appeared in front of her, Mo Youyuan couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, and on each side of the more than a dozen marble steps stood a eunuch and a palace maid. They are neatly dressed, their backs are straight, and they are motionless, Mo Youyuan really admires them, if they don't practice for a long time, who can stand.

Walking up the stairs, Xu is they heard the slight footsteps, and their eyes turned over, although they didn't know Mo Youyuan, they had already guessed her identity just by wearing a white silk snow satin. One of the chamberlains bowed over and trotted over, and saluted respectfully: "The servant greets Princess Li." ”

Mo Youyuan was surprised, she had never been to Fengning Palace, why could the palace people here recognize her. The people in the palace are good at observing words and feelings, just looking at Mo Youyuan's expression, the chamberlain already understands her confusion. He coughed lightly, Mo Youyuan looked up at him, but found that he made a look, and then he understood, and couldn't help nodding shyly and said, "Little father-in-law, I don't know if the queen mother has ever gotten up?" ”

The chamberlain smiled humbly: "Princess Li is polite, Niangniang is talking to Princess Xiao, you are here to hurry in." ”

"Oh..."At first glance, when I heard that Yu Xunxuan was already in Fengning Palace, Mo Youyuan's love was a little lower, and the waiter in front of her was still there, she smiled lightly and said, "Then, there is a little father-in-law Lao to help me pass it through." ”

"The slave will go in and pass it on, and Princess Li will come up with the slave."

The chamberlain went up the steps to the main hall to pass the news, Mo Youyuan followed behind, stepped on the steps, and walked up slowly. The palace people above symbolically curtsied, and whispered as if no one was around, although they didn't really hear it, but Mo Youyuan knew that they were talking about themselves. Unexpectedly, in the queen's bedroom, there are also these palace people who love to chew the root of their tongue.

After a while, the waiter walked out, and said with a respectful hand: "Princess Li, the mother is invited." ”

"Okay, thank you."

With a gentle smile, ignoring those strange eyes and the sound of discussion, Mo Youyuan stepped into the main hall. In the center of the spacious and bright outer hall is a soft seat, a rose-red satin curtain hangs in ear hooks on either side, and carved rosewood chairs are placed on either side.

There is a wide screen in front of the left, on which a hundred birds and a phoenix are delicately embroidered, these are not the point, but the sound from behind the screen, which is clearly the sound of jade searching.

They were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed to be very good, and Mo Youyuan couldn't bear to go in and disturb them. However, it is definitely not possible to come and not go in, muster up courage, Mo Youyuan turned the screen and walked in, and when the people inside saw her arrival, their voices disappeared automatically, and even that warm atmosphere was gone.

Inexplicably depressed in her heart, Mo Youyuan walked up to the queen and curtsied and said, "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

Today's queen is jeweled, wearing a red gold-painted peony phoenix robe, a gorgeous and cumbersome bun wearing a golden crested hairpin, exquisite makeup, and the charm still exists, and her whole person looks flashy and vulgar, graceful and noble.

Mo Youyuan touched the ebony box in her arms, which was given to her by Qin Chitong when she got out of the carriage, and told her to give it to the queen as a birthday gift, and she still doesn't know what it contains. Ignoring the contempt in the queen's eyes, Mo Youyuan handed the box forward and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the queen mother on her longevity and health, this is a little bit of the heart of the son and the prince, and I hope to be able to win the queen mother's heart." ”

At this time, Mo Youyuan didn't let Mo Youyuan sit down, the queen glanced at it casually, and said unhurriedly: "Since it's a congratulatory gift, let's open it and take a look, the palace doesn't have the luxury of asking the Li Mansion to send any treasures, it's almost enough." ”

The queen picked up the teacup, her little finger with a long nail cover slightly curled, and her expression was leisurely and elegant. Mo Youyuan silently opened the lid of the box, and when she saw the contents clearly, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, there was a blood jade bracelet in the pure white satin fabric. When the queen and Jade Xun saw it inadvertently, they were also speechless in surprise for a long time.

The queen couldn't help but gently picked up the blood jade bracelet and looked at the light carefully, only to see that the bracelet was all shiny, and there were still a few blood streaks floating in it, and the tentacles were heating up. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a flower goddess Niangniang, she met an emotion in the world, and on the day she returned to the Nine Heavens, she shed blood tears, every drop of blood and tears dripped into a stone, accumulated over time, and later generations found that a small piece of red jade similar to blood grew inside, so someone took out the jade and polished it into a bracelet, named the blood jade bracelet.

There is only one blood jade bracelet in the whole world, even if your family has a lot of money, it will not help, and Yu Xun has never seen such a blood jade bracelet when he is so big.

Although Mo Youyuan didn't understand it very well, she could guess some by observing the reaction of the queen and Yu Xun, presumably this bracelet must be worth a lot of money, Qin Chitong's move directly hit the queen in the face, which shows that he knows her very well.

The queen's attitude has changed greatly, which is very different from the previous attitude, instructed the palace people to make tea, and beckoned Mo Youyuan to sit down, and chatted with her a lot during the period, until the inner servant spread the word that Emperor Qin and the princes were coming soon, and Mo Youyuan was liberated.

A breakfast was uneventful, and when the Qin Emperor was halfway through the meal, the chief eunuch Jia Lin walked in in a panic, claiming that the envoys of the Wuqi and Langxi kingdoms had asked for an audience.

Emperor Qin was very puzzled by this, the envoys in front of him hadn't left yet, why did another batch come? Anyway, today's queen celebrates her birthday, they must have come here at this time on purpose, and their purpose is just to catch Qin Zhaoguo off guard, as the emperor of Qin Zhao, he can only face the difficulties and must not retreat.

Summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to negotiate in a hurry, and now it is too late to prepare, but it is not possible to lose Qin Zhaoguo's face, which will stump everyone. On the side of Fengning Palace, Mo Youlan, who was late, came up with a good idea.

She told Queen SΓΉ that Mo Youyuan was born with special abilities since she was a child, and even if she was terminally ill, she could remove major illnesses and small disasters. At this time, of course, the queen hopes to find a scapegoat, if she does it by mistake, Emperor Qin has to thank her, if it is not done well, there is also a ready-made scapegoat.
