Chapter 184: The Queen's Birthday Banquet (4)

The seventh princess and the eighth princess are actually like most of the people in this harem.

Seeing the wind and rudder, most of them don't know which camp they should be on.

To put it bluntly, their mother concubine is useless, she is not very loved by the emperor, and she is just a princess.

and Chi Chi, who are completely unfavored, can almost be regarded as transparent people, what chance can they say that they are married far away, and then they may have a chance to turn over.

And the words of Jiahe before, it was so noble, of course, it was the good grandson of the king in the capital, and she chose it.

But the seven princesses and eight princesses are different, and the emperor feels that they also have a sense of existence, so he won't say that he wants to send them to kiss.

But if you don't get along, it seems that there is no way to marry into a supreme and noble family, after all, your identity is here, and many of those people are more willing to take the daughter of a heavy minister, than to be such a dispensable princess.

So the two have been thinking about who to please and who to please so that they can give themselves a good future.

Now the two of them think that the eldest prince is more promising, but in the end, the queen is still in control of the entire harem, so the two of them still dare not offend the queen at all.

So the two brought their own gifts - but it's more difficult for the two of them to come up with something good, so it's still their own embroidery or something like that, at best, it's filial piety and heart. That's straight to put it bluntly - it's not creative, it's relatively poor.

This makes the queen not very satisfied, after all, no matter how poor you are, you can compare to Jinyang.

Jiahe's gift was sent to Kunning Palace early in the morning, it was a string of one hundred and eight glazed Buddha beads, which showed how much it was precious.

The queen naturally won't bring something that has been sent late, but this thing is expensive, and no one will say that she doesn't like it, and the queen will naturally feel much better when she sees it.

But when she saw what these two princesses sent, the queen was naturally unhappy in an instant.

Although gold thread is used, this brocade is also Shu brocade, which is also a valuable thing, but - this is the queen's Qianqiu banquet, which is nothing to see.

And I'm afraid that these two people want to show their sincerity, so they really embroidered it themselves, which can't be said to be bad, but if it is compared to those skilled embroiderers, it is really far behind.

So when the queen saw it, she was not satisfied anywhere.

The two princesses knelt on the ground, which was regarded as congratulating the queen on her birthday, but the queen didn't say anything for a long time, just let them kneel like this.

The two of them looked at each other, neither of them knew what was wrong, but their heads were lowered deeper.

No, could it be that the words of them and Chi Chi just now had already reached the queen's ears so quickly?

Impossible, how could it be so fast?

The two were even more scared, after all, in the queen's thousand years, they actually wanted to take refuge in the eldest prince.

What kind of person is the queen who can't tolerate sand under her eyes, if she really wants to be known...... They're really not going to be good.

The queen was silent, and of course it was impossible for these two people to take the initiative to say anything.

It was still a long time before the queen hummed, "It's just that I have a heart." ”

The word "just", the two of them knew, the queen was dissatisfied with their gifts, but they didn't know if they were dissatisfied just because the gifts were not good, or because they were dissatisfied with the two of them, so they were dissatisfied with the gifts.

No one knows.

The two of them could only grit their teeth, "I don't know what the queen mother likes, but I'm afraid that my son's eyes are rude, and the queen doesn't like the things selected, and I think about it, so I can only ......"

The queen interrupted her, "This palace has not said anything, you say this, it seems that this palace is planning something for you." ”

When the queen speaks now, she looks a little sour, which has never happened before.

The two of them instantly didn't know how to answer to make the queen comfortable.

And there was no silence.

The queen felt bored and snorted coldly, "Okay, okay, let's all go down." ”

"Yes, I wish my mother a thousand years and a long life."

The queen waved her hand, and the two walked down with pale faces, even if they sat back in their seats, they didn't seem to be relieved.

The eighth princess spoke, "Sister Huang, what do you mean by the queen mother......"

Although she didn't speak loudly, she sat close to each other, so she could hear it clearly.

Chi Chi's eyelashes trembled, and then he heard the seventh princess say, "Don't think about it, it is estimated that the queen mother is too busy today and is tired, otherwise there are so many people, is it possible that the queen mother will deliberately embarrass you and me?" ”

She seemed to be saying to the eighth princess, and as if she was saying to herself, "No, there is no need for the queen mother to do this." ”

The eighth princess nodded stunnedly, and then said, "Yes, that's right." ”

The seventh princess and the eighth princess calmed down for a while, and then the seventh princess turned her head and glanced at Chi Chi, "Fifth Emperor Sister, aren't you going to celebrate the queen mother's birthday?" ”

Chi Chi smiled, knowing that she would ask her head, she didn't have any other reaction, so she said, "Don't worry, the queen mother is busy now, where is there time to deal with me." ”

The seventh princess gritted her teeth, she knew, she had already noticed it a long time ago, but she just didn't remind them.

Also, she has no obligations and responsibilities that must be reminded of them.

The Seventh Princess now understands a little bit, Chi Chi doesn't want to eat them at all, even if it was such a twisted meeting just now, Chi Chi doesn't seem to be going to pay attention to it at all.

I'm afraid that this imperial sister is not as easy to deal with as they think, and not as stupid as they think.

Of course, Chi Chi will not go up to congratulate the queen on her birthday now, the queen sees her uncomfortable, and it is impossible not to catch her and beat her.

Just now, Acui had already said back and forth, the emperor's royal car came to this side, the emperor came to give the queen face, this is the queen's thousand autumns, naturally you can't just go through the motions and leave, of course, you want to sit here for a while, and say a few words to the queen, which also shows the importance that the emperor values the queen.

Then Chi Chi Da can wait until the emperor comes to congratulate her birthday, the emperor is on the side, the queen doesn't dare to say anything, and it is estimated that she will show extra kindness to her.

After all, the last time the queen was reprimanded by the emperor, it was said that the emperor did not treat the harem equally enough, favored his own children, and was not kind enough to other princesses.

Mama Li poured tea for the queen, and then persuaded her, "Niangniang, don't be angry anymore, you and them are angry just because you are angry with your body, besides, there are still so many women here, it is inevitable that it will not look good." ”

The queen said, "Don't you know when you are in this palace?" But Bengong now looks at them It's not good, that's not good, is it difficult to suppress Bengong's own temper? It's already unpleasant, do you still want to make this palace even more unpleasant? ”

The queen snorted coldly, "This palace can't do it." ”

Mama Li sighed, and wanted to persuade her seriously, but suddenly there was a voice of eunuchs shouting outside, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The queen was startled and turned her head to look at Mama Li, "Mama Li, but did you say that Your Majesty is here?" ”

Mama Li had already helped the queen to stand up, "Niangniang, it is Your Majesty who is here, and Your Majesty must still have a Niangniang in her heart, so how can you bear not to come when Niangniang is in her prime." ”

The queen's heart is really sour and sweet, she hates that the emperor does not come, but she persuades herself that the king's heart is unpredictable, it is particularly difficult to serve, the so-called thunder and rain are all Jun's grace.

No matter what the emperor wants to do, they are not qualified to put their beaks.

But at this time, the emperor really came, and she couldn't help but have a slight heat in her eyes, thinking about the husband and wife for many years, the emperor still had her in his heart.

After all, they were so stiff before, even if the emperor didn't come, it seemed to be excusable, and in the end they still forgave her.

The queen and everyone curtled their knees, "Greetings to Your Majesty." ”

The emperor had already strode to the empress's side, and then went to help the empress, "The empress is exempt." His tone was casual, as if there was nothing wrong with him before, "Today is the queen's big day, and I just came here to ask for two glasses of wine to drink. ”

The queen hurriedly said, "What Your Majesty said, Your Majesty's willingness to come is a gift, where is there such a thing as sooner or later." ”

The emperor smiled, told everyone to calm down, and then said, "I'm late, but I can't go unpunished, and I'll put it at the back to talk about it, so let's take a look at the birthday gift I prepared for the queen." ”

The empress looked up at the emperor at the time, and her expression was moved, "Your Majesty, concubine." ”

The emperor smiled, "I haven't taken this gift yet, what if the queen doesn't like it, isn't it a little early to thank you now?" ”

The queen also smiled, "There is never anything bad about the things Your Majesty picks, and the concubines are still very clear about this." ”

The emperor turned his head and glanced at Lu Cheng, "Come, bring up the things I gave to the empress." ”

Lu Cheng said yes, and then took the box from the minions behind him.

The box is exquisitely carved, and it is extraordinarily delicate at first glance, and it is open to see.

Those who were close couldn't help but exclaim.

It was a phoenix hairpin, with a huge Dongzhu in the phoenix's mouth, and it was still faintly flashing with a faint blue light.

Finding such a night pearl of the right size, I am afraid of the emperor, and it is also painstaking.

Chi Chi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, suppressing the smile on the corner of his mouth.
