"It's an honor for me to be able to accompany my ancestors." The county lord of Jiahe also realized that the atmosphere in the house had suddenly cooled down, and he was busy laughing at the words of the imperial concubine.

The county lord of Jiahe is the daughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe from the queen mother, and the niece of the current holy concubine, so she was exceptionally named the county lord.

Sure enough, except for her in the field, Qiu Muyun and Tong Xue only sat there smiling, Li Ling was expressionless, and he didn't even smile in time.

"I've heard that these little girls are all prepared, and they specially prepared gifts for their ancestors. The palace has to look carefully, if you like it, you have to take advantage of the ancestors' inattention, and quietly take some. ”

Fortunately, there is an imperial concubine who is used to gags and adjust the atmosphere here.

"The phoenix seal of the six palaces is in your hands, and you still see that the heavens and the earth are worried about the things in the hands of the mourning family, and there is no heavenly reason!" Knowing that the imperial concubine said it was a joke, the queen mother still laughed and scolded her.

"That's also the generosity of the ancestors, so the sons dare to take it with a heart!" The imperial concubine flattered the queen mother, and then looked at Li Ling, "Ling'er, let's start with yours, if it is pleasing to the eye, my aunt will have to take a copy." ”

"Yes." Li Ling took a brocade box from the hand of the personal girl, opened it, and stepped forward with both hands holding the box: "The courtier gave the queen mother a pair of cotton shoes." This shoe was sewn by the courtier's own hand, hoping that the mother would wear it properly. ”

The Queen Mother instructed her henchman to bring the shoes to the front, picked up a shoe, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Li is young, and her feet are extremely tight and neat. I guess I put a lot of hard work into the house. ”

"That's amazing!" The imperial concubine exclaimed exaggeratedly, covered her chest with her right hand, and said to the queen mother with a happy face: "Ancestor, don't you know, Ling'er has been taught martial arts by several brothers in the house since she was a child, and my second sister-in-law is a very elegant person, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, but she is not good at embroidery. It's good today. It turns out that Ling'er is good at this! At that time, I will have to bother Ling'er to make a pair of shoes for my aunt! ”

When Li Ling heard this, he immediately wrinkled his nose, cried with a face, and put his hands in front of the imperial concubine. "Auntie, you saved your niece. If it weren't for the sake of honoring the Queen Mother. My niece doesn't want to take a needle for the rest of her life! ”

This remark made the Queen Mother laugh, and even praised Li Ling for having a heart.

"The mourning family has also prepared some gadgets for you to play with." The Queen Mother ordered the girl to present a meeting gift to Li Ling. It is a small and durable crossbow arrow.

There is a ring in the middle of this crossbow arrow, which can be put on the arm or held in the hand, and three arrows and crossbows can be placed in it.

Li Ling couldn't put it down, and a shy smile appeared on her face, "Xie Niangniang." ”

Tong Xue thought that the Queen Mother's gift was also thoughtful, but she didn't know what she would give herself.

She glanced at Cai Qing's sleeve, and sighed in her heart, it seems that Cai Lan's painstaking sleep shoes are no longer useful.

"I don't know what Miss Tong has prepared?" The imperial concubine quietly looked at Tong Xue's small movements, looked at her with a smile and asked.

Of course, all the people present are human spirits, and the things that the imperial concubine can see, the queen mother will naturally not pass by.

Tong Xue smiled a little embarrassedly, "The courtiers learned painting for the first time in the mansion, and from time to time they remembered that when they entered the palace with their grandmother, they were fortunate enough to witness the kind eyes of the Queen Mother, so they thought about painting it. Therefore, what the courtiers want to give to the mother today is a small statue. ”

Tong Xue said, took the framed scroll from Cailan's hand, and presented it to the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother has been smiling and groaning on her face.

The surprise in my heart was even worse every time.

The Korean Mansion and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion both have this important position in the aristocratic circle of the capital.

Li Ling is the daughter of a Korean princess, and she has a talented and beautiful mother-in-law, and she has a reputation for both civil and military affairs since she was a child. And Tong Xue, because the Lu family rarely walks around, the Queen Mother doesn't know much about her, but judging from the two contacts, she is not as willful and rude as people imagined, but she is too competitive and competitive.

The Queen Mother thought that with the strong influence of General Weiyuan's wife, Tong Xue should prefer to dance with knives and guns, but who knew that she actually learned to paint!

After the henchman took the scroll, she slowly unfolded it.

The Queen Mother looked at the painting, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, sitting on the lotus seat on her knees, holding a silver bottle, making a gesture of throwing nectar, and her heart was clear, this girl was painted according to Guanyin.

Looking closely at the Guanyin face, the full forehead, the radiant eyes, and the slightly upturned corners of the mouth, I really looked like myself.

Naturally, the Queen Mother did not skip the blank space outside the portrait, and a few drops of ink scattered.

"The first portrait can be painted like this, which shows that it took a lot of thought." After the queen mother finished the painting, she bowed her head again and again.

The corner of the imperial concubine's eyes glanced at Cai Qing's sleeve, and stepped forward with a smile to join in the fun.

After she finished reading the content of the painting, the smile on her face collapsed, this is sure to be a portrait of the Queen Mother, not in which Buddhist hall at random, according to Guanyin?

Looking at the uneven lines, the different shades of ink, and the inconsistent bottles on both sides, the imperial concubine swore that when she learned to paint at the beginning of the year, she was ten times better than this one!

On the side, the Queen Mother's henchman and mother also echoed on the side, "The slave and maid looked, this Guanyin laughed, and she had the charm of the mother!" ”

The imperial concubine had no choice but to laugh with "hehe" on the side.

After admiring Tong Xue's paintings, the Queen Mother also gave her a set of four treasures of the study.

Tong Xue happily accepted the gift, in fact, she thought that the crossbow arrow in Li Ling's hand was more interesting.

And the Queen Mother was also complaining in her heart, in fact, the four treasures of the study room were originally prepared for her own aunt and nephew.

In the end, it was Qiu Muyun's turn.

Tong Xue found that her face was a little weird, and she took a thin leather bag from the hand of the personal girl and opened it.

The courtiers prepared a set of close-fitting undergarments and sleeping shoes for the mother. I hope that the mother will not dislike it. ”

Qiu Muyun is the daughter of a waiter in the Ministry of Works, with an average family background, and she is used to being a female celebrity to subsidize the family on weekdays.

Therefore, in her opinion, her gift is not as valuable as Li Ling and Tong Xue, and she is afraid that she will snub the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother touched the fabric of her underwear with her hand, only to feel that her hand was soft and extremely comfortable, and she couldn't help but praise again and again, "Yun Yatou also took a lot of effort, and the mourning family likes it very much." ”

When Qiu Muyun heard this, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Tong Xue's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the pair of sleeping shoes and said, "Sister Qiu, are you making these sleeping shoes?" Look, it's a little different from ordinary sleeping shoes? (To be continued......)
