Chapter 21: Birthday Gifts

He said as if he had broken the siege, "Shouldn't it, my cousin will give the Queen Mother two night pearls when she plays with rare treasures from a small time to a big one?" When I heard it, I thought it was unlikely, and immediately retorted it. ”

Jiang Huailin smiled faintly, this time the voice was much louder than before, as for why he knew that Jiang Moxi gave two night pearls, it was necessary to say that the power of money was great.

Spent money to buy off the minion with the gift, and the minion thought that this was not a life-giving errand, so he took the money and told him what the gift was.

Originally, it was no problem to send the two night pearls, and Jiang Moxi didn't want to please the Queen Mother, it wasn't too brilliant or too rude, but Jiang Huailin said it differently at this time, she played with the treasures from childhood to adulthood, so she sent two Night Pearls to the Queen Mother to pass the trouble?

More or less wearing it into the ears of the Queen Mother will ruin the Queen Mother's impression of Jiang Moxi, even if Jiang Moxi doesn't care too much, but if she can't say it, she will be punished for a crime or something, the mood of the royal people is like the weather outside, changing endlessly, sunny for a while and cloudy for a while, she is afraid.

"Where did my cousin hear about it, naturally not, my cousin also said that the Queen Mother has never seen any treasures, I'm afraid that I am tired of seeing this ordinary treasure, and my sister will naturally not give such a cheesy thing."

Jiang Moxi sighed in his heart, was he really guessed by Jiang Huailin? still put eyeliner beside him, and in addition to the gift he gave Mama Li to wrap it, Shi Xu helped to take it, and handed it to a little eunuch who was responsible for taking the birthday gift in Qionghua Palace.

It is impossible for Mama Li to tell others about her birthday, Shi Xu is a person who does not care about leaving, she can trust it, and that is the little eunuch left.

"It's not good, I'm also afraid that my cousin will take out two night pearls and provoke the queen mother to be unhappy, so I will remind you."

After speaking, he returned to his place with steps.

Ignoring Jiang Tong's gaze and Jiang Huailin's smile, he seemed to be tired of sitting here, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Qing had already gotten up, Jiang Moxi stretched out his hand and asked Si Qing to help him up, "It seems to be a little stuffy in this hall, it should be that I was a little drunk from drinking just now, help me go out and blow the wind." ”

Jiang Moxi pretended to be dizzy and got up and said loudly, so that everyone would not doubt her purpose of going out.

"Let's go."

Jiang Moxi gave Si Qing the wind at the door, Si Qing quietly entered the side hall where the birthday ceremony was held and took out the box containing the night pearls, Jiang Huailin said so, she couldn't really send two night pearls up when the time came.

took Si Qing to a secluded and uninhabited place in the Imperial Garden, and it was also the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, basically no one came at this time, Jiang Moxi asked Si Qing to take out the things.

The package was opened, and the two night pearls shone brightly in the dim corner, Jiang Moxi pondered for a while around the two night pearls, and then thought of something, and asked Si Qing to go out and watch some people for himself, and he was tossing in the corner.

Jiang Moxi had already thought about it, if someone came to ask her what she was doing, she would say that she was here to enjoy the flowers.

Fortunately, no one passed by when everything was done, and there was silence, Jiang Moxi put the packaged birthday gift back into the box and took Si Qing back to the side hall.

The side hall was originally guarded, but before Jiang Moxi went out to steal the birthday gift, he asked Si Qing to go over and drink a glass of spiced wine, and the person immediately couldn't hold back and went to the toilet, maybe the medicine was too strong, and he didn't come back at this time.

In fact, she paid attention when she went to the Imperial Garden just now, but she still didn't see Mo Guli's figure, and she didn't know what he was doing.

There was only the queen at the birthday banquet, and I heard the eunuch who passed the news that the emperor still had some things to deal with, and it would take a while to arrive, to be honest, Jiang Moxi was quite afraid to see the emperor now.

Although Mo Guli told her that the emperor didn't care about her burning the holy decree, after all, he did something wrong, and he would always have a weak heart when he saw it.

And the Queen Mother is tonight's birthday star, so naturally she will not come forward so early, only the queen is presiding over it at this time, as long as there is no big mess, the queen will turn a blind eye and pass.

When Jiang Moxi returned to the birthday banquet, as soon as he sat down on the front foot, the queen mother came in on the back foot.

Although the Queen Mother is over fifty years old, she is already half-buried in the loess, but she is well maintained, and she is no different from those who have just passed forty.

The long is also charitable and kind, and at this time he is dressed in a formal dress full of grace and luxury.

"See the Queen Mother's -----"

When the Queen Mother sat down, everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands and knelt on the ground and said in unison.

"Okay, okay, get up, today is the birthday of the mourning family, you don't have to be polite."

Although the Queen Mother said so, no one dared to be presumptuous.

"Why aren't the emperor and Gu Li here?" The Queen Mother sat on the throne and asked with a kind face.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has something to deal with in the imperial study, and then asked the regent to come over to help."

The maid next to him leaned over and replied.

Since the Queen Mother came, the voice of the banquet has become much softer, Jiang Moxi's ears can finally not be tortured so much, and because the place where she is sitting is not far from the Queen Mother, she can clearly hear the words of the maid.

I lowered my head and took a sip of wine, it turned out that I had gone to the imperial study.

Even Jiang Moxi herself didn't find out, she is now more and more concerned about Mo Guli, but she doesn't want to admit it.

"Queen Mother, why don't you take a look at our birthday gifts first."

Jiang Tong was afraid that he had drunk too much, so Ying Ying, whose face was flushed, got up and said.

The Queen Mother is really good-tempered, "Which girl are you?" ”

"Courtier, courtier, courtier's daughter is Jiang Tong of Jiang Mansion." Jiang Tong's expression was confused, and she drank a lot of wine at a glance, even the Queen Mother was not afraid at this time, and fortunately, the Queen Mother did not blame her for her inadequate etiquette.

"Ah, then as you said, present the birthday gift." When the Queen Mother heard Jiang Fu's eyes, her eyes were dark and unclear, and then she spoke kindly.

explained a few words to the maid beside him, and when the maid came back, a row of eunuchs with birthday gifts poured into the hall.

This singing ceremony is also a part of the face-to-face comparison of various officials, who sent it is rare, and whoever sends it can't take it, so basically what is presented is some curiosity.

Jiang Huailin, who was not far away, looked at Jiang Moxi, who was calm, and hooked the corners of her lips with bad intentions, she wanted to see how Jiang Moxi would round this time.

Xu was specially arranged, in order to crush Jiang Moxi, the Jiang family's birthday gift was arranged in front of Jiang Moxi.

When Jiang Huailin was sung, Jiang Huailin stepped forward with a spring breeze on his face and presented a brocade box to the maid next to the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother, the courtiers heard that the Queen Mother has been worshipping the Buddha all the year round, thinking that you will not like such mundane things as gold, silver and jewelry, and specially went to the Chang'an Temple to ask for a string of cool jade prayer beads, according to the master of the Chang'an Temple, this cool jade prayer beads are much better than ordinary prayer beads."

Jiang Huailin had a generous and decent smile on his face, and told the Queen Mother who was sitting on it.

Sure enough, as she expected, as soon as the Queen Mother opened the brocade box and took out the rosary, she couldn't like it, and even immediately replaced the rosary in her original hand.

The people who saw that a rosary could make the queen mother happy were remorseful, why didn't they think of sending a rosary, but now it's okay, it was given by someone else.

"Which girl are you?" The Queen Mother stroked the Liangyu rosary in her hand, she couldn't put it down, and her gaze at Jiang Huailin was even more fond.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers are Jiang Huailin of Jiangfu."

"It's Jiangfu's again, Jiangfu really knows how to raise a daughter, and the two girls are so good."

The Queen Mother said again, "You girl also has a heart, and the Liangyu rosary is not as valuable as other things." ”

Jiang Huailin was praised, his face was unconcealably happy, and he remembered the same suggestive thing as he was serious, and continued, "As long as the Queen Mother likes it, a cool jade rosary is just a bead, and you can't fool the Queen Mother with two night pearls." ”

If the night pearl is said to be valuable, it is naturally precious, but the most indispensable thing in the palace is the night pearl, even if you send a gold and silver jewelry next to it, it is stronger than the night pearl.

Other people don't understand, how can Jiang Moxi not understand, the next one is herself, Jiang Huailin said this, then when she offered the night pearl, even if the condition was so good that it was heavenly, the queen mother would not like it much, and even felt that she was perfunctory.

"The next one, the daughter of the General's Mansion, Jiang Moxi."

Because the queen mother didn't know which family the gift was, she instructed the birthday giver to report the name of the eunuch.

"Jiang Moxi, you are the little princess of Gu Li?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at the people below in surprise, and waved her hand to let Jiang Moxi come up and take a look for herself.

"The Queen Mother..."Jiang Moxi was a little surprised while being shy, how could the Queen Mother say that.

The Queen Mother's eyes were a little short-sighted, but she also saw her surprise, and patted Jiang Moxi's hand, "What are you shy, this girl is shy, Gu Li told me this." ”

"It's really a beautiful embryo, Gu Li is blessed." The Queen Mother took Jiang Moxi's hand and praised with a smile.

Jiang Moxi whispered a thank you, and the Queen Mother went back to take the mahogany tray in the eunuch's hand and brought it to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, this is a birthday gift from the courtiers, open it and take a look."

Jiang Moxi squatted down slightly with the tray, so that the Queen Mother could open the lid.

The Queen Mother opened the lid, and there were two beads that were not big or small, and should be as big as walnuts, and the Queen Mother cast a questioning look at Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi smiled sweetly, "This is to be put on the plate of your hand, and the medicine every day has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis." ”

"It's so amazing?" The Queen Mother was surprised.

"Of course." Looking at Jiang Moxi's quirky appearance, the Queen Mother happily took out the two beads that had been ground to the size of walnuts and put them in her hands to play.

"It's really good, the gift from Mercy is really ingenious."

Needless to say, Jiang Huailin went around in such a big circle today, not only did he not get her, but his birthday gift was also compared.
