When Xu Yuande saw his daughter on the bed, tears almost fell. But he endured it and held back his tears.

Xu Zishu was lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, and his eyes were closed, looking like he was dead.

"Zi Shu......" Father Xu walked to the side of the bed and called softly.

Xu Zishu didn't react, his eyes closed and he didn't move.

Father Xu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his daughter, who had loved her since childhood, she looked dying at the moment, he held back the bitterness in his heart and said, "Zishu, get up and eat something!" Father promised you, for father, he will enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother and her old man make decisions for you. ”

Xu Zishu's eyelids moved, he slowly opened his eyes, and asked in a weak voice, "Father, did you really agree?" ”

"Yes, for my father's yes." Xu Yuande nodded helplessly.

A weak smile bloomed on Xu Zishu's face, she wanted to get up, but her body was too weak and she had no strength at all to support herself.

Xu Yuande shouted outside the door: "Xianghe, Xianghe!" Hurry up and bring in some food! ”

"Yes!"

Outside the door, Xianghe happily ran towards the kitchen. The old man finally agreed, and the young lady was finally willing to eat. Xianghe wiped the tears from her face.

Xuanwang's Mansion.

There was a calligraphy painting and an embroidery in front of Ye Xiaoyan, and Steward Zhou stood aside and said, "Princess, this is the birthday gift for the Queen Mother." ”

Ye Xiaoyan asked, "Nothing better?" ”

Steward Zhou replied: "This calligraphy and painting was painted by the prince himself; This embroidery was embroidered by the princess herself. This gift has a different meaning! ”

The corners of Ye Xiaoyan's mouth tugged. The painting was indeed painted by Nangong You, but the embroidery was embroidered by Qingshu, and she only symbolically embroidered a few stitches, and it became her embroidery.

"There's nothing else in the storeroom?" Ye Xiaoyan asked.

"Nope." Steward Zhou shook his head.

Well, Ye Xiaoyan also knows that the Xuanwang Mansion is very poor now, and all the good things were sold for military expenses back then. However, on the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother, she gave these two things, and Ye Xiaoyan always felt that her sincerity was not enough. She watched the Queen Mother's birthday in the TV series, and she gave jade, coral, pearls, agate or something. However, there are no such things in this world.

"Princess." Seeing that the princess was wrinkling her eyebrows and pondering, Steward Zhou interrupted loudly and said, "Princess, these two things are enough. The emperor advocates frugality, and it is not good to give too valuable things. ”

"Hmm." Ye Xiaoyan also knows that the emperor advocates frugality, but the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother is such a festive event, as a grandchild, she should fully express her filial piety. But she was always dissatisfied with the two gifts in front of her.

At this time, Nangong You walked in from outside, saw the things on the table, and saw Ye Xiaoyan twisting her eyebrows as if she was distressed about something, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan said: "The Queen Mother's 60th birthday, just give these two things, will it seem that we have no filial piety?" ”。

Nangong You waved his hand to signal Steward Zhou to go down, and asked Ye Xiaoyan, "Then what do you think you want to give?" ”
