The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was named to Yu Xi to attend, which was also expected by her.

The daughter of the nominal prime minister of the palace has made meritorious contributions to the treatment of the emperor and authorized her to attend the birthday banquet. In fact, Yu Xi knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely show her attitude at the birthday banquet and tell Yu Xilan that she must marry into the Jingwang Mansion.

The Hongmen banquet was over, but she had to go.

I didn't know what to use as a birthday gift, so after thinking about it, Yu Xi exchanged the century-old ginseng he bought from Situ Nanfeng for a brocade box and took it with him. Ginseng is a precious medicinal material, and this one is in good condition, neither too much to steal the limelight from others, nor too ugly.

The Empress Dowager is sixty years old, and her birthday banquet is equivalent to the state banquet level of Fengguo. Envoys from various countries came, and the treasures were placed extravagantly from under the throne to the outside of the palace.

Yu Xi didn't have many acquaintances in Beijing, but they all went.

Lan Xiaoqing and Lan Wangwu are friendly envoys, needless to say. Gong Xun is the prime minister of the dynasty, the lord of Fengjun is a relative of the emperor, and Gong Feiran is the son of the lord of Fengjun and a relative of the emperor, so he was naturally present.

What she didn't expect was that Situ Nanfeng was also there.

Situ Nanfeng saw Yu Xi and the prime minister of the palace coming with his wife, and only nodded with her across the full house.

Yu Xi's heart was like a drum, and her heart said that her ginseng would be embarrassed if it was recognized by Situ Nanfeng.

It was her negligence that she forgot that Feng Yiyang and Situ Nanfeng were cousins, and he clearly told her that Situ Nanfeng had grown up in the palace since he was a child.

hid the brocade box containing ginseng under the table, Yu Xi's face was silent, but he quickly thought of countermeasures in his heart.

Lan Xiaoqing and Lan Wangwu brothers and sisters gave the night pearl known as the national treasure of Lancang Town.

The small wooden box was the size of a palm, and Yu Lan Wangwu held it and presented it.

"I wish the Empress Dowager eternal youth and a long life." Lan Wang's small mouth is very sweet.

The wooden box was opened in front of the Empress Dowager, and although it was daylight, you could still see the brilliant brilliance.

The Empress Dowager looked at Lan Wangwu with a loving look.

"Forget your worries. In the past, when you were playing in the palace, you were only as tall as Yiyang's waist, and now you have grown into a big girl. ”

She smiled as if she were looking at her own daughter.

"Yes, Brother Yiyang also watched me grow up." Lan Wangwu said worriedly, looking towards Yu Xi provocatively.

"No, now I've grown up to forget my worries. It's all a family, and the mourning family likes it when they look at you. ”

The Empress Dowager had never said anything about her marriage between Feng Yiyang and Lan Wangwu at the birthday banquet, but her attitude had already been taken out. It's all a family, and Lan Wangwu is the daughter-in-law in her heart.

The Empress Dowager respects Yu Xi because Chu Qingci is a woman who has made contributions to the Feng Kingdom, and Yu Xi is Chu Qingci's daughter. The more Feng Yiyang has her in her heart, the more taboo the Queen Mother is in her heart. That day, the Empress Dowager looked for her, and said that Feng Yiyang was infatuated, and asked her not to harm him, but she didn't want Feng Yiyang to be with her. Yu Xi understood it all in his heart.

His own son, one fell in love with Chu Qingci, and the other fell in love with Chu Qingci's daughter, and no one could let go. Yu Xi can also understand.

When it came time for her to offer the gift, she hesitated again and again, but still presented the ginseng she had bought from Situ Nanfeng. Empty-handed is not a way, and it is too late to change temporarily, Situ Nanfeng asked afterwards, and he could only bite to death and say that it was not the same root.

"I wish the Empress Dowager a long life, and the country of Fengguo and the people of peace."

Yu Xi knelt down and saluted, hoping that Situ Nanfeng would not be suspicious.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager just ordered someone to take it, and after a glance, she closed the lid again.

"Xi'er, Your Majesty's body is getting stronger and stronger under your conditioning, and you have meritorious service to Fengguo." The Empress Dowager praised Yu Xi.

Yu Xi could see that the Empress Dowager respected her and loved Lan Wangwu. Lan Wangwu is simple and cute, and she is indeed the candidate for Princess Jing in her heart.

"Don't dare to be. It is His Majesty's own heavenly appearance. "Yu Xi's etiquette rules were taught by her mother, and she was not timid on such occasions.

The Empress Dowager nodded.

"The law of Fengguo has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and you can tell the mourning family what you want."

Hey, is that generous? I want Feng Yiyang, you won't give it, Yu Xi slandered.

Yu Xi knew that the last time the Empress Dowager met, she was polite to her, because she was Chu Qingci's daughter and had contributed to the country. I want to reward her this time, also because she has made meritorious contributions to the country.

It's still different from Lan forgetting worries,

"The emperor's health is also the wish of the people, and the people's daughters have nothing else to ask for." Yu Xi only said.

The Empress Dowager nodded, and said, "The mourning family gave you a thousand taels of silver, which can be regarded as Your Majesty's medical fee." ”

Yu Xi was about to open her mouth to refuse, and the Queen Mother was no longer willing to talk to her, so she only said that everything was in charge of the mourning family, and the next guest would present the gift.

Yu Xi was inconvenient to excuse himself, and returned to his seat after saluting respectfully.

In Fengguo, even if his father is the prime minister, the annual salary is only a thousand taels, and such a reward is too rich.

She didn't look around, but she always felt that many pairs of eyes were staring at her. Her intuition was right, Feng Yiyang, Situ Nanfeng, Lan Wangwu, and Gong Feiran never left her eyes.

Although the Empress Dowager was the protagonist of the birthday banquet, she only came forward to accept the birthday gift when the guests presented the gift, and also rewarded everyone one by one, and then deduced that she was too old to be lively and returned to her palace.

During the banquet, Feng Yiyang "flirted" with Yu Xi from afar a few times, which made her cheeks crimson.

"Miss Yu Xi, the Empress Dowager is invited to the palace." A little eunuch went around behind her to look for her.

Yu Xi bowed to Gong Xun and followed.
