34. Chapter 34

Lin Yuqing walked forward cautiously, surrounded by the powerful, she didn't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear that her cough would lead to death.

She walked to the place where the offering was made and stopped.

Then Concubine Yu Niangniang walked out of her seat and shouted to the people on top: "Long live the emperor, long live the queen mother, I wish the queen mother a blessing like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

After saying this series of long live Chitose, the Queen Mother smiled kindly and said, "Let's be flat." Concubine Yu said that the congratulatory gift to the mourning family is a sachet, I don't know what the meaning of the road is? ”

I'm afraid that in everyone's eyes, such a most ordinary sachet, if there is nothing better to say, it is not qualified to be brought here as a congratulatory gift.

Concubine Yu felt a little empty in her heart, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, although this sachet is small, it is carefully prepared by the concubine. As for the beauty of this sachet, can you let Shen Xiu of Zhanghua Palace listen to it with the Queen Mother? ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment when she met the emperor, and then nodded.

So, Concubine Yu retreated to her seat and sat down, leaving only Lin Yuqing, who was isolated and helpless in the field.

Lin Yuqing took a breath and gritted her teeth, if she could shoot a needle out of her eyes, she would definitely burst everyone out.

"Queen Mother, don't look at this sachet as small, but small and fine, every stitch and thread on it is full of Concubine Yu's filial piety to the Queen Mother and loyalty to the Shang Kingdom."

Speaking of this, she deliberately paused for a moment, and then peeked at the people around her, these people seemed to be used to listening to official words, and they didn't care too much about Lin Yuqing's words.

So, she continued: "The pattern on both sides of the sachet, one side is the picture of the mountains and rivers of the sun, which symbolizes the rivers and mountains of our Shang Dynasty, and the places where the sun shines are the world of our Shang Dynasty. This sun is selected from the thousand-year-old ice jade on Yuzhu Mountain in Jingcheng, the yellow is thick, and the breath is refreshing. The mountain and river pattern is made of selected feathers on the peacock's body, and the peacock opens the screen, and everything is Jiaxing.

On the other hand, it is the moonlight of the lotus pond. The moon in the sky is full of green old pit jade, the whole body is green, under the illumination of the moonlight, it will emit a moon halo, just like taking off the moon in the sky as its own decoration. In the lotus pond, there is also a moon, inlaid with large pearls in the South China Sea, the moon in the sky, just like the emperor, the grace of the Quartet, the moon in the lotus pond, is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, reflecting the light of the emperor, assisting the emperor, governing the country together, and the water ,......, in the lotus pond is the ordinary people, under the leadership of the emperor, living a calm and peaceful life. ”

Lin Yuqing said so much about the lotus flower, because he was thirsty, so he took a little rest.

However, the reactions of the people around him are much more complicated.

Some were appreciative of this carefully prepared gift, while others were envious, jealous and hateful, glaring at Lin Yuqing and Concubine Yu.

When Concubine Yu heard this, she was also shocked in her heart, although Lin Yuqing had said something similar to her, but she didn't think she could say anything as imposing as Lin Yuqing.

Next to Concubine Yu is a very glamorously dressed woman, Concubine Chen. said that she was fragrant, one is because of her dress, I can't wait to expose my body, if she hadn't been sitting, the two fig leafs played their own role, it is estimated that she would have become a model of unsightliness.

However, this is just what Lin Yuqing saw from his own angle, and the palace maid who followed behind Concubine Chen was holding her coat in her hand. The reason why she wore it like this was because from the emperor's point of view, she could be seen just right. The rest of the people are not visible.

Concubine Chen thought today that she would attract the emperor to her palace with her own outfit, but Concubine Yu came out and intervened, and she was very unhappy.

Concubine Chen pretended to pick up the tea, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Sister Yu's congratulatory gift, it's really painstaking!" The sun is a radiant and hot artifact, I don't know what my sister's intention is to use ice jade as an embellishment? Is it the hope that the Shang Dynasty will be frozen forever? ”

Concubine Chen is deliberately finding fault, Concubine Yu understands it very well. However, this is normal. Just like just now, she also pointed out the shortcomings in other people's congratulatory gifts, just a means to suppress others and elevate herself, but now it falls on her own head, although this congratulatory gift is contributed in her name, but the statement in it is not so similar.

Lin Yuqing peeked at Concubine Yu, who had an embarrassed face, thinking that this Concubine Yu would only show her majesty in front of the minions in her palace, but she had no way to deal with it.

Lin Yuqing sighed in his heart, and then said with a very respectful smile: "Concubine Chen, when you say this, you just don't understand Concubine Yu's good intentions. This sun is made of ice jade, which is true. But this is where Concubine Yu's ingenuity lies, you want to know what the spices are in the sachet, and it is estimated that you can also understand the good and bitter of Concubine Yu. ”

Lin Yuqing deliberately sold a pass, and sat down and paused.

At this time, the emperor who was high above spoke.

"Oh? What's so special about the spices in this? ”

Lin Yuqing originally wanted to arouse the interest of the Queen Mother, so it seems that although the Queen Mother was also curiously waiting for herself to reveal the answer, she was not like the emperor, and she praised her own field.

Lin Yuqing took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The spices in this sachet are the juice collected from a hundred kinds of flower petals, soaked in the grains until they are completely dried, and the fragrance invades the grains, and the fragrance does not go away for a long time." Whether it is a hundred flowers or grains, it needs the warmth of the sun and the moisture of rain and dew, which is where the beauty of ice jade lies.

Hundred flowers symbolize the long-term foundation of the Shang Dynasty, and the grains are the food of the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. Think about the people of our merchant country, everyone can eat enough, how prosperous the merchant country will be. Wan Min, I wish my emperor long live long live, long live long live, and the Queen Mother thousand years old and thousands of years old. ”

Lin Yuqing ended his words with a mountain call, and he knelt down and kowtowed very devotedly.

Everyone present also got up one after another, crowded in the field, and shouted together.

Lin Yuqing admires himself now, but he didn't expect that someone would respond if he patted his fart well.

The emperor shouted flat, and then everyone retreated. Lin Yuqing presented the gift to the Queen Mother in person. The queen mother took the sachet, smelled it happily, and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's really fragrant, Concubine Yu is really well-intentioned!" ”

The people who offered the gifts in front of them, their gifts, they were all priceless, but they were not as good as a sachet of Concubine Yu. Some people are not convinced, but they have no choice but to endure it.

When Lin Yuqing went to the high platform, he peeked at the emperor looking at him, and there was a little bad light in his eyes, like a greedy wolf was about to pounce on the little lamb. She had to keep her head down before she finished the dedication.

However, soon, the emperor turned his gaze to Concubine Yu, stretched out his hand with a smile, beckoned Concubine Yu to the stage, and then sat beside him.
