Chapter 44: The Gift
Chu Yueqing didn't know that she had planted hatred for herself invisibly, but it was unbelievable to see that Xuanyuan Hao, a big man, liked to eat snacks like sugar steamed cheese.
However, fortunately, he likes to eat, otherwise it may not be easy to coax him back.
A graceful woman walked across the street, wearing a white brocade skirt and a golden hairpin. The posture is graceful, and the eyebrows are shining.
Chu Yueqing didn't recognize her, but she recognized the man next to her. The young emperor in the "dream", thinking carefully, "she" had also seen him from afar in Jingshan, and the third prince that Lehua was thinking about.
Because of the deep memory of the nightmare, when he saw the third prince again, Chu Yueqing stood up the hairs all over his body like a hedgehog, and the whole person switched to a state of alert.
The woman had already walked in front of her, her skin was like congealed fat, and her eyes were like black stars, as if she would fall into it involuntarily at a glance. The person who came was Zhao Wan, who was once famous, and the daughter of Zhao Mu, a university scholar.
Zhao Mu was the head of the literati of the Great Qi Dynasty and the literary master of the princes.
Six years ago, when Zhao Wan married the third prince, it caused quite a stir in the capital.
Well, when she married Xuanyuan Hao, it seemed that she caused a lot of sensation, but one was envy and the other was ridicule.
Chu Yueqing got up and showed a standard smile, "Third Emperor Sister-in-law." ”
Zhao Wan chuckled lightly, and her thin lips opened lightly: "The fifth brother and sister have been married for some days, and the third sister-in-law has been unable to take the time to visit. I heard that the fifth brother and sister first fell into the cold, and a few days ago the palace was assassinated again, sister, are you in serious trouble? ”
ridicule, ridicule, and temptation, if Chu Yueqing was a traditional ancient woman, of course she would fight back angrily. But Chu Yueqing was not, and replied: "Thank you for the third emperor's sister-in-law, Yueqing's body is fine." ”
The neck ornament almost perfectly covered the wound on Chu Yueqing's neck, and the night was getting thicker, Zhao Wan didn't see her injury, "It's okay if my sister is fine, I see that it is about to enter winter."
It's not easy to get sick in winter. By the way, Merlin, who will become the king's mansion in January, will open well, and my sister would like to enjoy a thin noodle to participate in the snow banquet? ”
Chu Yueqing, like the original owner, scoffed at this kind of fake sisterhood. But she was in the royal family and couldn't help herself, she still kept smiling and responded lightly: "It is Yueqing's honor for the third emperor's sister-in-law to invite Yueqing to participate in the snow banquet." ”
Outside the palace gate, Gonggong Yang's scream came, "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived." ”
Zhao Wan said goodbye to Chu Yueqing and returned to her table.
The emperor and queen entered the palace, and everyone saluted together: "The sons and daughters see the father and the queen mother, and the father and queen mother Jin An." ”
With one performance and gift after another, Chu Le calmly asked Xiao Xiangzi behind him, "Have you prepared a gift?" ”
Xiao Xiangzi had a lot of fine sweat on his forehead, and the late autumn wind blew, and he shivered violently, "Back to the princess, the slave forgot." ”
In previous years, he and the five princes lived directly in the palace, so gifts and other gifts were never prepared, so this time I came to forget about it.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate.
Xiao Xiangzi usually looks quite shrewd, but why did he drop the chain at the critical moment.
The seventh prince Xuanyuan Xian had been paying attention to Chu Yueqing's direction, and when he saw the strange expressions and strange behaviors of the master and servant, the feeling for Chu Yueqing in his heart became more and more bad.
The right hand waved in his ear, hey~ Where's the big wood?!
Only then did Xuanyuan Xian notice that his little servant was not around, and there were only palace maids standing on both sides who didn't know whose surname was. The eyebrows are twisted into Sichuan characters, isn't it that stupid big tree still picking up fallen leaves?
Da Mu looked at the slowly falling leaves piled up on his right, and silently prayed in his heart: Don't wind anymore, I finally piled it up. Then turn around and look for sacks and brooms.
The tenth princess gave a dance, and the ninth princess drew a picture... The Seventh Prince got up and ordered someone to bring in a strange stone: "Father, mother, this is a strange stone found by the sons and daughters in the border city, and I am here to dedicate it to my father and mother, and I wish my father and mother a longer life than Nanshan." ”
The emperor saw that the strange stone was presented as a longevity character as a whole, and he was in a good mood: "Xian'er has a heart." ”
Not to be outdone, the third prince got up and said: "The gift of the seventh brother is indeed quite thoughtful, my father, my son's ministers also have a gift here, and you will like it if you want to come to your father." ”
The emperor was overjoyed and said, "Oh, Cheng'er's gifts every year surprise me, what treasures are you looking for this year?" ”
The third prince was happy, and opened the brocade box in his hand, "Back to my father, this is the jade Ruyi found by the son." ”
Jade Ruyi is red all over, the color is pure, it is a rare treasure in a hundred years, Chu Yueqing's eyes are shining and looking at the glowing Jade Ruyi, and she wails in her heart: She really wants to go home!
The old emperor was very satisfied with the gifts of his two sons, "Okay, Cheng'er, Xian'er, you have all worked hard." Come on, reward. ”
Xuanyuan Hao didn't say a word at this time, in fact, he prepares gifts every year. But every time he didn't give it out, this year, the Diamond Sutra he copied by hand was in his arms, but the gifts from the third brother and the seventh brother were all strange treasures.
In comparison, his manuscript was afraid that people would laugh at it again, so he simply continued to feast.
Chu Leqing secretly prayed that things would end so happily. Eat and drink, and then we'll go back to our respective homes.
"Fifth brother and sister, you haven't spoken, have you prepared a big gift, ready to open our eyes?" It was Zhao Wan who spoke.
Chu Yueqing's silent recitation of "begging to let go" thousands of times had no effect, so he had to face it, "The third emperor's sister-in-law laughed, no matter how good the gift is, I am afraid it can't compare to the jade Ruyi of the third emperor brother, so Yueqing's gift is too thin, I can only express my heart slightly, and I hope that my father will not blame me." ”
The old emperor glanced at her and said, "The family banquet is not a birthday banquet, and you have the heart to prepare gifts." How can I meet the monster? ”
Chu Yueqing bowed slightly, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
Then he pulled up Xuanyuan Hao beside him, and reached out to take the Diamond Sutra from his arms, Xuanyuan Hao reached out to block it, "Qingqing, what are you doing?" ”
Chu Yueqing: "Of course it's a gift." ”
"Father, this is the gift we have prepared, the Diamond Sutra copied by the husband himself."
Everyone sighed, how long does it take to copy so thick?
On the mind, the Diamond Sutra will never be investigated more than Yu Ruyi, so Chu Yueqing thought about it when he saw this book. As for whether it was copied by Xuanyuan Hao? That's purely Chu Yueqing's nonsense, and outsiders can't see it anyway.
Xuanyuan Hao's mood is also a little apprehensive, will the father like it?
The lights in the hall were dim, and the old emperor looked at his most beloved son, not very sad, "Okay, Hao'er's gift is the best gift I have ever received." ”
Xuanyuan Hao's eyebrows stretched out, and his smile could compete with the sun and the moon. (To be continued)
