Everyone took turns to offer gifts, this time King Xiang and King Ding are also generous, King Xiang sent the Queen Mother is a rosewood carved begonia embroidered screen, King Ding is to send a pair of cranes Tengyun Ganoderma lucidum Panhua candlestick.

These birthday gifts are really more expensive than a congratulatory gift, Gu Yunxin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, she didn't prepare anything, if it was just a dance, it seemed to be less sincere.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin set his eyes on King Rui's body, "Lord Wang, have you prepared a birthday gift for the imperial grandmother?" ”

"I prepared a tea set." Rui Wang said lightly.

What the? A tea set? It's not that this Rui Wangfu can't afford those expensive gifts, so why give a set of tea sets? Isn't this a chance for others to laugh at the Rui Wangfu? She Gu Yunxin is nothing, but King Rui's face can't be lost.

"Lord Wang, you won't really prepare a set of tea sets, right? If that's the case, then King Xiang and King Ding don't use the topic to play to make trouble for you? Gu Yunxin said worriedly.

At this moment, King Ding stood up and sneered: "Brother Rui, everyone has given gifts to the imperial grandmother, you can't be unprepared, right?" That's not your style. ”

"That's right, Brother Rui, the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, the gifts you have always prepared are the best among our brothers, quickly take out your gifts, let us all have long eyes." King Xiang echoed.

"Mo Feng, present the gift." Rui Wang said lightly.

Mo Feng stepped forward with the brocade box in his hand, opened the brocade box, and the queen mother looked at it and instantly smiled, "It's still Yi'er who knows the thoughts of the mourning family best, this set of fine mutton fat and white jade hollow pattern tea set is really chic." ”

What the? Mutton fat white jade is already a very good object, and if it is used to carve a tea set into a hollow flower, it is a rare treasure. This Rui Wang is really extraordinary, and he can find a master to carve a set of hollow tea sets.

Seeing that the Queen Mother liked it very much, Gu Yunxin also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, this Rui Wang, obviously he had already prepared good gifts, but he pretended not to prepare anything, even if he was afraid that others would know, he would hide it from himself.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Xinlan first entered the palace and wanted to present a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, but Xinlan didn't know the Queen Mother's preferences, so Xinlan prepared a dance for the Queen Mother. also asked the emperor and the queen mother to allow Xinlan to perform. Zhan Xinlan stood in the center of the hall and said respectfully.

"Oh? In that case, then you can get started. The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, please ask the emperor and the queen mother later, and the courtiers will go to change their dance clothes." After finishing speaking, Zhan Xinlan respectfully withdrew.

It's just that after a cup of tea, the drum music sounded, Zhan Xinlan came wearing a pink dress, dancing with long sleeves, and the palace maid who accompanied the dance surrounded Zhan Xinlan in the center, changing different dance postures, and after a dance, a lotus flower appeared at Zhan Xinlan's feet.

The emperor saw this

, I was very surprised, there was nothing on the ground just now, how could there suddenly be a lotus?

"I really can't imagine that Sister Xinlan still has such a ability." Gu Yunxin couldn't help but admire.

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, let alone Zhan Xinlan, even if it is for someone like Jiang Xiao who can't dance, as long as he follows a specific pace, a lotus flower can still appear under his feet." Rui Wang said lightly.

"The emperor, the queen mother, this is a good sign, the so-called step by step lotus, today Miss Zhanjia at the birthday banquet of the queen mother, dancing shows a lotus, this is God knows that the emperor's virtue and politics are notorious, and the relationship between the queen mother's grace and harem." King Jing said respectfully.

Hearing King Jing say this, the emperor couldn't help but nod, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, if there are any good things, it is auspicious. Even if someone deliberately curries favor with the Queen Mother, then he doesn't account too much.

"King Jing is right, come on, Zhan Xinlan has made a meritorious dance for the Queen Mother, and will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold." The emperor said loudly.

Although this gold hundred taels is not a lot, on this occasion, it is undoubtedly a firm foothold for Zhan Xinlan among the nobles of Kyoto.

"The courtiers thank the emperor for the reward, I wish the emperor a long life, and the queen mother a long life." Zhan Xinlan knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Zhan Xinlan's behavior not only shocked everyone present, but also surprised the people of the Zhan family, this second lady who has been living in the border pass, this method is no worse than the daughter of the boudoir who grew up in Kyoto.

"Well, it's a talking girl, get up, you can be so good, it is inseparable from your family's teachings." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, when I was at home, my father and mother often taught me to be loyal, filial and righteous, and the courtiers never dared to forget the teachings of their parents." Zhan Xinlan said with a smile.

"Well, it's a well-informed girl." The emperor appreciated.

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and gently poked Dingguo Gong on his side with his fingers, "This niece of the husband is really hidden." I came to Kyoto from the border pass, and I didn't live in the Dingguo Mansion, but I lived in the Rui Wang's Mansion, and I didn't know how to come to my mother to say goodbye. ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Mrs. Zhan, who was sitting on the side, heard Zhan Zhao say this, and she didn't like this granddaughter even more, she didn't know that after Zhan Xinlan arrived in Kyoto, she lived directly in King Rui's mansion, and never said that she was here to ask her grandmother to say goodbye.

Thinking about it, this is because she doesn't have a grandmother in her heart at all, but wants to use Princess Rui to climb the high branches.

After the banquet, Zhan Xinlan deliberately waited for King Jing outside the palace gate, and when she saw King Jing's carriage appear, she immediately stepped forward and saluted slowly, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"Oh? Where does this thank you come from? King Jing held his forehead with one hand and said neatly.

"The dance that Xinlan danced just now gave birth to a lotus flower under her feet, which is really very

Coincidentally, if it weren't for the prince on the side, I am afraid that Xinlan's little trick would anger the emperor. Therefore, Xinlan is very grateful to the prince. ”

"Thanksgiving, this king really didn't misunderstand you. Is Miss Zhan still living in King Rui's Mansion now? ”

"Yes, if I go back to live in the Dingguo Mansion, I am afraid that I will be disciplined by my grandmother and grandfather, and in the Rui Wang's Mansion, at least no one will teach me." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.

"In that case, then you might as well move out and set up your own door, why send someone under the fence?" King Jing raised his eyebrows and said.

"Lord Wang, the three of us brothers and sisters have nothing in Kyoto, how can we set up a mansion to live in, not to mention, it is not easy to buy a mansion."

"It turns out that it's just a matter of money, if Miss Zhan is willing, this king can help Miss buy a mansion, so as not to let Miss send people to look at people."

"Why does the prince want to help me like this? But do you want me to do anything for the prince? Zhan Xinlan frowned.

Although she wants a good life, she will not be stupid enough to be a gunman, King Jing has never met her, if she just helped her like this just by having a comradeship with her father when she was young, she would not believe it.

"This king likes smart people, this king only needs to help this king when he is in trouble in the future, and Miss Zhan and General Zhenyuan will also help this king." King Jing said lightly.

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that."

"Okay, I promise you. Lord Wang, please rest assured, I Zhan Xinlan is not the kind of ungrateful person, if one day, the prince needs Xinlan to do, Xinlan will definitely go all out. Even if she goes up to the knife mountain and gets off the oil pot, Zhan Xinlan's brows will not wrinkle. ”

"Hehe, Miss Zhan, don't worry, this king won't let you go to Dao Mountain, and he won't let you get off the oil pot. Beauty is like this, how can this king be like this. Miss Zhan first lived in the Rui Wang's Mansion for more than ten days, and the king will order someone to buy a house in Kyoto, arrange everything, and notify Miss to move in. ”

After speaking, King Jing lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage slowly walked towards the streets of Kyoto......

Zhan Xinlan was just about to step away, but was stopped by a voice, "Xinlan, you haven't come to see your grandmother for so long, but you don't have a grandmother in your eyes at all?" ”

"Grandmother, the granddaughter naturally has you in her heart, but King Rui is busy on weekdays, and Yun Xin is lonely in the house alone, so the granddaughter has more time to accompany Yun Xin. Originally, I was thinking of asking my grandmother for guilt today, but I didn't expect my grandmother to ask for guilt. Zhan Xinlan is neither humble nor arrogant.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhan's face became very ugly, this Zhan Xinlan spoke so mean at a young age, if she was allowed to live in King Rui's mansion, maybe she would have to provoke the relationship between King Rui and his wife. In this Kyoto, there are still many women who are worried about the position of Princess Rui.

She won't let people have the opportunity to spoil Yun Xin's happiness, no one can, of course, including Zhan Xinlan.

"Oh? Are you blaming my wife for saying that you are wrong? Didn't you just say something about loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness? Your filial piety, I haven't seen it, my wife. Mrs. Zhan said angrily.

"Oh, mother, don't be angry, Xinlan didn't mean that, she wanted to see you, but she wasn't familiar with the streets of Kyoto, so she didn't go to see you at home. Xinlan, since you also have the intention of filial piety to your grandmother, then go back with us, your two brothers are also at home, so it will be convenient for your aunt to take care of you. Zhan Zhao smiled lightly.

"The kindness of the eldest aunt, Xinlan understands, it's just that I am the only girl in the Dingguo Mansion, I came out this time, and I didn't bring a personal maidservant, I lived in the Dingguo Mansion, and there was no one who said intimate words, in the Rui Wang's Mansion, and Yun Xin accompanied me." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.

"What's the point of you, an unmarried girl, who always lives in someone else's house?" Mrs. Zhan said angrily.

This Zhan Xinlan is really getting more and more unruly, and she openly contradicts her, and now there is such a high-sounding excuse to live in the Rui Wangfu, she really doesn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, the carriage of the Rui Wangfu also arrived in front of the palace gate, and when he saw the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion, he immediately ordered someone to stop the carriage......
