Chapter 118: He didn't prepare a congratulatory gift

"Get up!"

Emperor Qing looked in a good mood today, and motioned to them in the air with a pleasant face, and then said: "Today, I will invite a few of you to the banquet, with the intention of solemnly introducing you to a person, the new national teacher I have chosen, Liu Rumo!" ”

Saying that, looking at the seat where Liu Rumo was standing, Liu Rumo leaned down slightly, bowed his head and responded to him, so the Qing Emperor continued: "The national teacher has been decided, and I will not go around the bend with the three of you, I have ordered the national teacher to start preparing for the sacrifice to the sky, and advance the ceremony of worshipping the sky that was originally scheduled for half a year, before that, I will choose one of the three of you to sacrifice to the sky with me, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Erchen understands!" The three people standing in the hall replied in unison.

How could they not understand!

Qinglin is the crown prince, and he should worship the sky with the Qingdi Emperor, but he was told that what was originally a logical thing has now become one of the three, which is not a good sign, the queen Su Shi was silent on her face, and she smiled dignified and self-assured, and her fingers under the cover of her long sleeves were white, she smiled and calculated in her heart, that day she ordered to severely punish the palace maids in the Qinglin Palace, and later the henchmen of the prison came back to tell her, Liu Rumo came forward to save those foxes, but I don't know how sure I want to envelop this national teacher now.

Qingyuan is proud, as soon as Emperor Qing's words came out, he began to compete with Qinglin for the position of prince, and he was naturally happy to be at odds with Qinglin.

Qingli couldn't see anything, as if what the Qingdi said had nothing to do with him, and only the Qingdi and the two of them knew that the matter of sacrificing to the heavens and establishing the prince really had nothing to do with him, because he asked for an edict and would never enter Beijing without an edict, and it was impossible for the Qingdi to let go of this opportunity he proposed. Presumably, the holy decree has already been drawn up, hidden in some place he doesn't know, waiting for Qingyuan to sue him after he ascends to the throne!

The three of them had their own thoughts. But the face is full of harmony, after all, the Qingdi is still sitting on it. Even if they have any opinions, they just look at each other with a look of emotion.

"National Teacher, I have reorganized myself in the few days when Ming Shao Pavilion was empty, what do you think? If there's anything missing, I'll send someone to you later!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" Liu Rumo happily thanked him.

Emperor Qing put the three princes aside, but he paid special attention to Liu Rumo, the new national teacher, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was more important to the national teacher than the previous Lord Liu Lin, and Concubine Rou was still with Emperor Qing. He obediently didn't intervene when he spoke, took out a grape from the fruit bowl with his green fingers, carefully peeled it, and tenderly waited for the Qingdi to eat between words, Su was like an outsider, being hung by the Qingdi and Concubine Rou, and under the jade steps, except for Liu Rumo, they were all hung there like Su.

Compared to the hatred in Su's heart, Qinglin and the three of them were much more peaceful, and Qingyuan lowered his head and ate the things on the long table. The ears have been listening to the conversation between Liu Rumo and his father, but he is not bored.

"Father, the son prepared a gift for the national teacher. Congratulations to the National Teacher! Qinglin suddenly got up and walked to the bottom of the stairs and curtched.

"Oh? The prince has a heart, since it is a gift for the national teacher, then take it out! The Qing Emperor took the grape in his mouth with Concubine Rou's fingers and waved his hand.

Qinglin stood up and clasped his hands together twice, and two palace eunuchs came in carrying a box outside the palace gate, looking at the speed at which they moved slowly step by step, thinking that the objects in the box were very heavy.

Receiving Su's eyes, Qinglin glanced back at her, and walked in front of Liu Rumo with his hands behind his back. beckoned the palace attendant to move the box over and put it down, and then squatted down on his knees. He opened the box with one hand, opened his palm and said, "Master Guoshi, please take a look!" ”

Liu Rumo looked in the direction guided by his palm. In the box is a set of four treasures of the study, I listened to Qinglin explained: "The palace thought that after the national teacher entered the palace, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are commonly used, and the woman's arm strength and wrist strength will be smaller than that of the man. ”

"Good!" Before Liu Rumo could answer, the Qingdi took the words first, and after a hearty laugh, he turned his head to the queen sitting on the side and said, "Lin'er's mind looks good!" ”

When Su Shi heard that Emperor Qing praised his son, he immediately smiled, and even swept away his previous secret unhappiness, and followed Emperor Qing's words: "What the emperor said is true!" Before the concubines could think about what congratulatory gifts to prepare for the national teacher, Lin'er was already ready to present it, and it seems that Lin'er really put her heart into it! ”

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Qingyuan and Qingli: "I don't know what congratulatory gifts the third prince and the sixth prince have prepared, since the prince has presented them, why don't you present them together?" ”

Emperor Qing knew that she was going to take the opportunity to hold a handful of Qinglin, and she didn't break it, so she also agreed: "The queen is not bad, what have you two prepared?" Let's bring it together! ”

He had already prepared a gift for Liu Rumo for Qingyuan, this kind of thing should not have been worried about him, but the news reported by the secret guard once or twice made him a little uneasy, Yuan'er's thoughts about Liu Rumo were far deeper than he imagined, in order to prevent Yuan'er from sending some inappropriate things to Liu Rumo as a congratulatory gift, he bothered to prepare it for Yuan'er, and waited for him to speak.

As soon as Qingyuan heard about the congratulatory gift, he subconsciously glanced at Liu Rumo, if he wanted to talk about the congratulatory gift, he had received a notice from his father before, and the congratulatory gift was handled by his father, as long as he took it out at that time, as for the congratulatory gift he had prepared in private, wasn't it already worn on Liu Rumo's body!

"Sons obey orders!" Qingyuan propped up the table with one hand, stood up in a chic manner, and came to Liu Rumo in a few steps, and after Qinglin moved his position, he turned his head and shouted outside the hall: "Come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a palace maid came in with a tray in her hand, because it was covered with a layer of vermilion brocade, she couldn't see what was underneath, and Su couldn't help but look at it, and thought silently in her heart, you can't be better prepared than Qinglin, otherwise the limelight will be robbed again!

The palace maid walked very slowly, as if she was deliberately hanging people's appetite, Liu Rumo's eyelids were not raised, she couldn't see half of her expectations, and her steady appearance made Emperor Qing very satisfied, he was worried that she would not be used to it as soon as she succeeded her, but now it seems that her style is extremely stable, and it is completely comparable to Liu Lin.

Qingyuan picked up the brocade with two fingers, gently opened it, and soon a palace attendant closed the door of the palace, and then the light in the hall gradually weakened, and the objects under the brocade shone brightly.

"What a baby!" Concubine Rou exclaimed first.

Qingyuan looked at Liu Rumo with a smile and lowered his eyes, took the tray from the palace maid's hand, opened the things on the long table in front of Liu Rumo with one hand, and put the tray in his hand in the middle position: "Master Guoshi, this is a jade seal embedded in the beads of the shark in the South China Sea, the seal falls on the paper, and it has its own brilliance. Specially presented as a congratulatory gift! ”

"Thank you, Third Prince!" Liu Rumo stretched out his hand and stroked the four seals in a row, and easily covered the brocade that Qingyuan had put aside again.

Su Shi's mood suddenly fell to the bottom after a while, compared to this set of precious and rare seals, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she prepared for her son was really too far behind, but she was annoyed, and she didn't forget to pay attention to Liu Rumo, seeing that she was not too surprised or had any other reaction, and put her mind at ease, it seems that even such a precious congratulatory gift, I am afraid that it has not entered the heart of this national teacher, otherwise how could she have no reaction, but casually covered the brocade back.

After Qingyuan's gift was completed, only Qingli was gone, and the Qingdi raised his eyebrows and looked at Qingli: "What congratulatory gift do the six princes want to present to the national teacher?" ”

Since Qingli was named, his hands were spread out empty, and then he waved his hand in the direction of Liu Rumo: "Please forgive me, Master Guoshi, I came in a hurry today, so I couldn't prepare any congratulatory gifts!" ”

Liu Rumo looked at him, saw the fleeting light in his eyes, and then replied lightly: "It's okay!" ”

Emperor Qing had long known that he was not prepared, and the secret guard had kept Qingli under strict surveillance, and he had never prepared a congratulatory gift for today's banquet, so now Qingli apologized to Liu Rumo, and he didn't stop it, after Liu Rumo replied, he slowly spoke: "It's not a big deal, since the national teachers have said it's okay, you can sit back!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Qingli turned in the direction of the Qing Emperor again, and then sat back very calmly, completely ignoring Qingyuan's mockery and Qinglin's frowning silence.

Since the purpose of the Qingdi holding this congratulatory banquet today has been achieved, he ordered the palace supervisor to pass the song and dance into the palace, and began to take the normal banquet mode.

The queen was depressed at Emperor Qing's ignorance of the performance of the song and dance girl, and only cared about teasing and teasing Concubine Rou, and when she saw Qinglin looking at her, she had to signal him to restrain his temperament, warning him not to covet beauty and cause any trouble, and she herself, after Qinglin obediently sat down and restrained her expression, began to quietly observe Liu Rumo.

When Liu Rumo was summoned into the palace by Emperor Qing a few days ago, she was still the eldest lady of the Liu family, and Emperor Qing casually mentioned that she was the successor of the national teacher, and she had already sent someone to investigate, but she couldn't find out anything, as if Liu Rumo had no flaws, not to mention that she wanted to find a breakthrough point in her past.

Suddenly, Liu Rumo raised her hand to take the teacup, and the white velvet in her arms moved, Su Shi saw the subtle movement in his eyes, was silent, and looked at the people in the hall, including the Qing Emperor and Concubine Rou, with his residual vision, and found that no one paid as much attention to this as her, and his heart gradually became happy.

If she is not mistaken, Liu Rumo is holding a living thing in her arms, not only that, but the thing moved just now, revealing Liu Rumo's jacket and trimming, she can see clearly, the embroidered lines on it clearly indicate that this clothing is made in the palace, and the material used is cloud satin, which is equivalent to cloud brocade, but it is not something that can be taken casually to make clothes.
