"Imperial Grandmother, do you like the gift we gave you?"

The people who congratulated her on her birthday had dispersed, and Mulan Mu came to the Queen Mother's palace at this time, sat around her, and offered her congratulatory gifts.

The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, and nodded again and again: "I like it, I like it." But...... Which of you gave this to you? ”

She asked with a smile on her face, a look of love on her face.

The two scratched their heads in disagreement: "This ...... We sent it together. ”

"Yes, we're all in this together!"

"Together?"

The Queen Mother was thoughtful, and immediately smiled even more happily: "Then the imperial grandmother likes it even more!" ”

Mulan Muli also laughed, and each took out an object.

"Imperial Grandmother, I also prepared a sachet for you. Don't look at it small, but the pattern on it is painted by myself, and then Zhuo Niangzi took it and embroidered it by hand, and the herbs in it were prepared by the divine doctor invited by the Hou Shizi of Dingnan from Bei'an, saying that it is very good for the body! ”

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to take it, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes deepened a little when she smiled.

"I can't see that you have put so much thought into this little sachet."

"Of course, my sister said that you must be sincere in giving gifts to the people you care about. I care about the imperial grandmother, so naturally I have to prepare a gift for the imperial grandmother! ”

The Queen Mother smiled and couldn't see her eyes, and patted the back of Mulan's hand again and again.

"The sister you are talking about is the lady of the Hou Shizi of Dingnan?"

"Exactly! My sister said that the gift is expensive in the heart, not in value, as long as the heart is there. The other party must be able to feel his sincerity. On the other hand, if the gift is only valuable but not intentional, it is no different from an ordinary gift! ”

"Okay, okay, your sister teaches well."

Mulan smiled and didn't speak again, and gave Mu Li a look.

Mu Li hurriedly handed over the bracelet he had prepared: "Imperial grandmother, I have prepared a bracelet for you, the beads were screened by Brother Sangzi after he taught me to choose, but ...... My carving skills are not very good, so the carver is still made by Brother Sangzi, don't dislike it......"

The Queen Mother laughed loudly. Reached out and patted his arm: "Good boy." It's too late for your imperial grandmother to like this heart, how can you dislike it. ”

Mu Li smiled wryly, still feeling a little embarrassed.

Mulan hurriedly said: "Ah Li wants to give you the best, I'm afraid that my craftsmanship will be bad if I mess with things." That's why I didn't do it myself. Speaking of which, the sachet I gave you didn't embroider it myself. It's looking for Zhuo Niangzi to do it for you. ”

Mu Li cast a grateful look. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the hall was happy.

The palace maid guarding outside the hall couldn't help but laugh along, and said in a low voice: "Every year, Princess Huiming and His Royal Highness the Fourteenth can make the Queen Mother the happiest." ”

"yes. And this year, the Queen Mother seems to be happier than ever, I haven't heard her laugh so loudly for a long time. ”

"That's natural, in previous years, Princess Huiming and His Royal Highness the Fourteenth came separately in order not to quarrel in front of the Queen Mother, but this year they came together!"

"It's strange to say, these two have always hated to fight as soon as they met, why not only didn't they fight this year, but they also ......"

The palace maid was halfway through her words, and when she saw the group of people walking in slowly, she hurriedly stopped the conversation and saluted respectfully.

"See Your Majesty."

Emperor Dezhao nodded, his eyes did not look at them: "Huiming and Fourteen are here?" ”

"Yes, the two highnesses are chatting happily with the Queen Mother in the room."

The palace maid's voice fell, and the queen mother's joyful laughter came from the hall.

Emperor Dezhao stood outside the door, listening to the laughter and laughter in the hall, his frowning brows gradually stretched, and his gloomy face finally cleared.

Huang Yong glanced at the palace maid on the side, and the palace maid hurriedly said: "This year, Princess Huiming came over with His Royal Highness the Fourteenth, and gave the Queen Mother a talking parrot, and the Queen Mother was happy and laughed constantly." ”

Emperor Dezhao's complexion was really much better, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who gave the parrot?" ”

"This ...... The slave and maid are not clear, but it doesn't matter who sent it, as long as the two highnesses come down, the queen mother can always smile. ”

That's right.

Emperor Dezhao hooked his lips and smiled.

These two guys can be said to have been raised by the Queen Mother, and naturally they are the most loved by the Queen Mother, although they are not close to other people in the palace, but they have an excellent relationship with the Queen Mother, and they can always make the Queen Mother close their mouths whenever they come over.

He raised his feet and walked in, and sure enough, he saw Mulan Muli sitting around the Queen Mother, the three of them didn't know what to say, they all smiled with their eyebrows, and the Queen Mother pulled Mulan with one hand and Mu Li with the other, and smiled back and forth.

"What are you talking about?"

Emperor Dezhao stepped forward and asked.

Mulan Mu got up and saluted, walked to the next head and gave up the position next to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother did not answer what he just said, but asked, "What happened to leave in a hurry just now?" But the queen is not in good health? Have you asked the doctor? ”

Emperor Dezhao's expression darkened, and he immediately returned to normal, walked to the Queen Mother, sat down, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but she remembers that Rong'an is now sixteen years old, and wants to take the opportunity of your birthday to settle Rong'an's marriage. ”

The Queen Mother sighed and nodded: "Then you can settle on someone's family?" ”

"It's decided, it's Peng Yining, the current science detective, and his son has just given them a decree to marry."

In such a hurry?

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed slightly, and Mulan Muli, who was standing below, was also surprised, frowning and glancing at each other, and what she saw from the other party's eyes was puzzled.

The Queen Mother returned to her previous loving appearance in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "It's good to be decided, it's good to be decided." It doesn't matter who the other party is or what the family background is, as long as the character is good. ”

Emperor Dezhao nodded: "My son also thinks so." ”

After speaking, he didn't seem to want to continue the topic, looked at the birdcage on the table and asked, "This is the parrot you talked about earlier?" ”

Mulan Muli knew that this was asking them, and hurriedly replied, "Exactly." ”

Emperor Dezhao raised his eyebrows: "Who sent it?" ”

Mulan Muli glanced at each other. "Let's ...... together"

"You guys? Together? ”

Emperor Dezhao paused with his hand holding the teacup and raised his eyes to look at them.

"Hmm!"

Mulan straightened her back and looked up and said, "Brother Sangzi said that he gave this parrot to the two of us, and we transferred it to the imperial grandmother, so naturally we sent it together!" ”

"That's right! We'll send it together! ”

Mu Li said.

Emperor Dezhao sneered, took a sip of tea and put the cup down.

"Even if it's to avoid punishment, you don't have to do this, do you? The two of them give a gift together, what is this like! ”

Punish?

The Queen Mother doesn't know why.

"What are you talking about? What punishment? Why can't the mourning family understand? ”

Emperor Dezhao turned around and patiently explained: "Queen Mother, this parrot is something they have long taken a fancy to and want to give to you as a birthday gift. But the owner of the parrot said that it was a treasure of the town store and could not be sold. ”

"The two of them caused a lot of trouble to others, so I ordered them to go and make amends. In the end, it is up to him to convince the owner of the parrot to give it to him. Whoever is not punished. ”

The Queen Mother understood, and then asked, "What punishment?" ”

Emperor Dezhao smiled and said, "You are grounded in the palace for three months, and you are not allowed to go out." ”

The Queen Mother snorted and laughed: "Then this punishment is heavy enough." The two of them were wild monkeys. It must be that I would rather not return to the palace for three months. I don't want to go out of the palace for three months. ”

"Imperial Grandmother!"

Mulan Muli stomped his feet with his cheeks puffed out at the same time: "Where are we like monkeys!" ”

The Queen Mother laughed and said to Emperor Dezhao beside her: "In the past, they always came one after the other, but I didn't think it at that time. Standing together today, I realized that it was really getting more and more alike. It's exactly the same. If this is a change of clothes, I'm afraid that even my grandmother won't be able to tell the difference! ”

Emperor Dezhao was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head to hide the look on his face.

Mulan stepped forward and shook the Queen Mother's arm and said, "Grandmother Huang, you give a commentary, Father, his words don't count!" ”

The corners of the palace maid's lips in the room were slightly hooked, and Princess Huiming was so bold that she dared to say that His Majesty the Emperor's words didn't count. If you were someone else, you wouldn't dare to think about it.

Emperor Dezhao frowned, raised his head and said, "Obviously it was said at the beginning, why did it become that my words don't count?" ”

"Did my father say that whoever gets this parrot will not be punished?"

"yes!"

Emperor Dezhao nodded.

"Then now that I and Ah Li have got this parrot together, why do you have to pick out one person to be punished?"

"There is only one parrot, how can you two get it together? You told me how you divide this parrot? Isn't it possible to split it in half? ”

"But Brother Sangzi just said that he gave this parrot to the two of us! Brother Sangzi didn't want us to share, why did my father want us to share? You didn't say you couldn't do that! ”

"You ......"

Emperor Dezhao was speechless, causing the Queen Mother on the side to laugh again, and even the palace maids in the palace couldn't help laughing.

The Queen Mother laughed for a long time before stopping, patted Mulan's hand and said, "Okay, good, the imperial grandmother is in charge for you!" Neither you nor Ali will be punished! You can go out of the palace to play! ”

Mulan suddenly raised a high smile and winked at Mu Li, who was still standing in place.

Mu Li also grinned and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Emperor Dezhao had a headache on his face: "Queen Mother, you spoil them too much!" ”

The Queen Mother immediately said with a straight face: "Where is the mourning family spoiling them?" Obviously you don't pay attention to it! ”

"I ......"

Emperor Dezhao had just been choked by his own daughter, and in a blink of an eye, he was choked by his mother, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, in short, you are reasonable, I don't care about it!"

"You didn't pay attention to it."

The Queen Mother said again, turned her face and laughed again with Mulan Muli.

Emperor Dezhao held his forehead and smiled, his face was full of helplessness, but he felt extremely stable in his heart.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't had such a happy bickering and laughing with his family, the people in this palace were cold, and the family affection was also covered up under power and ambition, and it gradually changed.

There are so few moments of peace and stability like this that it's like stolen time, and it's something to cherish. (To be continued......)
