Chapter Twenty-Three: Gifts and Exchanges

early morning

"Today is my mother's birthday, and a banquet has been held in the palace, so you can go with me," Nan Fengling said.

Although I really want to visit the ancient palace, but is it not suitable for someone's mother's birthday? 'Is it inconvenient?' I asked.

"Let's go!" He whispered.

I rode in the same carriage with Nan Fengling, and his temperament was too dull, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. 'Well, I'll take another carriage,' I said first

'No, the carriage is slow, don't miss the hour,' he closed his eyelids, as if he were recuperating.

'Oh,' and I said no more.

Palace

"Aunt, Yun'er wishes you, blessings such as the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan" Today's Shangguan Yun is dressed in a goose-yellow Luo skirt, like a budding flower in spring, delicate and beautiful.

"Auntie, I know, you don't like pearl jewelry, I specially brought incense from the temple on the mountain, and asked for a peace charm for you" Shangguan Yun smiled and flattered Beitang Yu.

"Yun'er is bothered, it's really filial" Beitang Yu looked gentle.

"Auntie, look at what you said, this is what I should do" Shangguan Yun's smile became sweeter.

"The queen mother, look at the sachet sewn by Linlin's own hands, which is filled with Chinese medicinal materials, which not only has a pleasant aroma but also helps you sleep! There is also a pair of pillows that I also sewed, for this reason, Linlin's hands are pierced I don't know how many times" Nan Fenglin also leaned over and said coquettishly to her mother.

"Poor Lin'er, have you taken the medicine? Let the queen mother take a look" Beitang Yu heard Nan Fenglin's own sewing, and was moved, and felt distressed when he heard that his hand was injured.

"It's okay queen mother, it's all right," Nan Fenglin said with a smile.

"The thirteenth prince has arrived" The eunuch's voice sounded, and everyone looked up.

"The Child Has Seen the Queen Mother"

"Ling'er, get up quickly" Beitang Yu walked forward and looked at Nanfeng Ling, his eyes were extremely gentle.

"Yun'er has seen my cousin," Shangguan Yun looked for an opportunity to step forward.

"Everything has been fine lately, and my cousin is worried," Nan Fengling said politely.

Nan Fengling speaks politely and coldly, which is his style.

"Cousin is so polite! My cousin cares about what my cousin should be," Shangguan Yun smiled with a smile.

Nanfeng Ling said to Beitang Yu with a smile: "You must not have guessed the queen mother's birthday gift this time."

"Ling'er has a heart, but what you say this time makes the queen mother look forward to it even more"

"Presented" I saw two servants jointly carrying up a statue about a meter high, covered with silk, I can't tell what it is?

"What is this?" Nan Fenglin spoke first.

"Please let the queen mother lift it with her own hands," Nan Fengling said.

Beitang Yu was thoughtful, walked in front of him, and did not see his true face but smelled a fragrance.

Beitang Yu took the corner of the silk and pulled it down, and the silk fell. The delicate agarwood carving is presented in front of everyone.

"What a beautiful statue," Nan Fenglin reacted.

"The queen mother, this is engraved by the child's own hands, but I still like it"

"Ling'er is filial, and the queen mother is very moved," Bei Tangyu stroked the cocoons of Nanfeng Ling's palm, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

"Brother, always so attentive!" Nan Fenglin said.

Bei Tangyu's tears fell suddenly, he was distressed, this son has always been very sensible and filial, Bei Tangyu also loves him very much, and he is reluctant to be hurt a little.

'The queen doesn't have to be like this, it's what a child should do'

Beitang Yu wiped his tears, smiled knowingly and said, "Quickly, send it to my room, and the queen mother will see it every day."

"Queen Mother, don't be sentimental anymore, you will also cry like this" Nanfeng Lin took Bei Tangyu's arm and shook it.

'Okay, let's go for a walk in the back garden?' Beitang Yu opened his mouth and everyone went to the back garden together.

Seeing this warm and affectionate scene, I couldn't help but be moved, Mom, I miss you so much, my nose was sore, my eyes were blurred, and I immediately wiped it to keep up.

If Fang Cai is not mistaken, is she crying? Nanfeng frowned, a little puzzled.

Nan Feng Ling and Nan Feng Lin walked side by side with Bei Tangyu on the left and right, Shangguan Yun followed closely behind, and Liu Hanqiao walked at the back.

"I just talked about it, and it seemed that the girl you saved was also here," Bei Tangyu said meaningfully.

'Yes, the child will show her a long experience,' replied Nanfeng Ling.

'Let her sit down with her,' nodded Kitado Yu.

'The child thanked her mother for her'

Although Liu Hanqiao couldn't hear what they said clearly, she could see the flattering appearance of this south wind, and she knew that this guy's acting skills were superb.

This guy is only like this in front of Beitang Yu! It's like a modern child, in front of his friends, he looks like a good child in front of his parents, Liu Hanqiao said disdainfully.

A few people sat around the tide pavilion in the back garden.

"Auntie, I heard that Miss Liu's piano skills are good, why don't you take advantage of your aunt's birthday today to invite Miss Liu to play a song, so as not to let us reminisce about the past, and Miss Liu is not comfortable on the side" Liu Hanqiao is a grass people, it's not that everyone will not be able to play the piano, Shangguan Yun decided that this is the reason why he said this to make her embarrassed, so that she could recognize the gap.

'Uh' I saw Liu Hanqiao hearing this, and looked up at Nanfeng Ling in a panic.

Nan Fengling was also looking at her, and when she saw the confusion in her eyes, she couldn't help but smile.

If it weren't for the ensemble between her and Xiao Ying that day, I am afraid that I would have been deceived by her eyes at this time. How could he not know that Shangguan Yun was playing a small trick, so he was not worried at all, but was impressed by her acting skills in pretending to be flustered, this girl is really good.

When Shangguan Yun saw Liu Hanqiao's eyes, he was even more sure of her guess, and he was overjoyed.

Seeing her smug smile, I sneered in my heart; I had no intention of getting involved in the battle in this royal inner courtyard, and I was a little helpless.

But I'm not easy to bully, Shangguan Yun, if you think that such a method can make it difficult for me, then you underestimate me too much.

"If Xiao Qiao's song can change the concubine's smile, it will be in vain for the prince's rescue, and the concubine will not dislike it, and Xiao Qiao will be ugly."

Beitang Yu smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that this girl was sharp.

When the guqin was brought to Liu Hanqiao, she bowed her head and said nothing, bowed her head slightly to the concubine, and played it seriously, the piano was melodious, and the simple and melodious was a repertoire that Beitang Yu had never heard before, and even Nanfeng Ling, who had seen a lot of things in the south and north, was also suspicious.

Shangguan Yun looked at the concubine's intoxicated expressions, her face was extremely ugly, and she couldn't imagine that this move not only didn't make her ugly, but also made her behave in front of the concubine.

At the end of the song, the concubine slowly opened her eyes, "The little buckwheat girl's piano skills are really extraordinary, dare to ask what kind of song this is, the mourning family has never heard it"

"Back to the concubine, this song is called only the mother in the world", in our hometown mother is the meaning of the mother, only the mother's love in the world is the most selfless dedication, the most great, only with this song, I wish the concubine a long life than Nanshan"

"Okay, good, Xiao Qiao is a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance, and the mourning family will borrow your auspicious words" Beitang Yu said three good words in a row, nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Shangguan Yun's eyes were sharp, "I underestimated this girl."

"I didn't expect you to have such talent," Nan Fenglin also looked at him differently.

"Queen Mother, let's go somewhere else!" Nan Fenglin said.

"You! I know how to play, find an auspicious day of the zodiac and marry you off another day," Beitang Yu scolded with a smile.

"The queen mother is used to making fun of me," Nan Fenglin showed a touch of shyness.

"Little sister, if you are like this, Xuan will dislike you" Nanfeng Ling smiled.

"The stinky second brother, the crow's mouth, and Xuan are sincere to me, so they won't dislike me," everyone smiled.

"Okay, let's walk around," Kitado said.

Along the way, Shangguan Yun thought about how to let Liu Hanqiao leave Nanfeng Ling with a sad face; And Caiyun, the maid beside her, saw what the master was thinking, so she made a bold idea.

Hurriedly stepped forward and stepped on her skirt, Liu Hanqiao was thinking in her heart that this is over, it is obvious that this Shangguan Yun likes Nanfeng Ling, I don't leave for a day, she refuses to give up for a day, she can't make me ugly today, there must be the next move, how can I prevent it.

Suddenly, there was a 'hiss' sound, and Liu Hanqiao's skirt suddenly tore a cut from her waist

'Ah' Liu Hanqiao let out a low voice, and no one in front of him heard it. Liu Hanqiao knew that Shangguan Yun would find a way to deal with her again, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and she would use this way in front of the concubine, so Liu Hanqiao didn't think about pushing the maid into the lake with a force.

I only heard a 'plop' sound, and the maid fell into the water.

'Help,' shouted the maid in the water.

Shangguan Yun reacted and looked at the colorful clouds in the lake and shouted, 'Come on, save her'

Beitang Yu, who heard the movement, also shouted, "Come on, people", and the guards not far away quickly rushed into the lake and rescued Caiyun.

After being rescued, Caiyun was drenched all over, sneezing all the time, and glaring at Liu Hanqiao with angry eyes.

Caiyun, are you okay? Shangguan Yun supported the personal maid, things happened too fast, she didn't have time to think about it, knowing that Caiyun was doing this for herself.

"Go find the doctor," Nan Fenglin said to the maid.

'Thank you, princess,' Caiyun said through gritted teeth, trembling all over.

"Auntie, please forgive Yun'er for being rude and quit first" Shangguan Yun bowed.

'Let's go' Beitang Yu nodded, and Shangguan Yun left with Caiyun in his arms.

'Queen Mother, we will also retire first'

Beitang Yu looked at Liu Hanqiao behind Nanfeng Ling and agreed.

'It's a good birthday to be like this' Nan Fenglin frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Shangguan Yun in her heart.

Beitang Yu looked at Nanfeng Ling in the distance, for so many years, he had never seen him treat a girl like this.
