Chapter 676: Gift-giving
Isn't Ji Shulan secretly ridiculing Shi Qingqian for being pregnant, what is 'wasted', whether it is sarcastic or from the heart, Shi Qingqian can still hear it.
As soon as her dark eyes rolled, she had a plan, raised the wine glass in her hand generously, and said with a smile: "Of course it's okay, it's just a glass of fruit wine, and I naturally have to seize the opportunity to taste the wine that the emperor loves very much." β
After saying that, Shi Qingqian raised his head and put a glass of wine into his mouth happily.
However, before she could say anything, she saw Shi Qingqian's face change, her brows frowned, and she threw herself on the flower bed on the side and spit out all the drinks that had not yet been eaten, and retched a few times, vividly playing the appearance of morning sickness on weekdays.
After such a fuss, the people around him would more or less look over and care about what's wrong, only Na Shulan saw Shi Qingqian's trajectory at a glance, and stood in place so angry that her nose was crooked.
"Ahem, cough, cough - Lan Concubine, I'm really sorry, since I was pregnant, I have a small vomit a day, a big vomit in three days, this fruit wine is sweet and delicious, but I am afraid that I will not be blessed today," Shi Qingqian finished 'vomiting', and walked over weakly under Xue Ying's support, and said with a bitter face, "Or Concubine Lan gave me a pot, and I won't be so uncomfortable another day to taste it?" β
Shi Qingqian admitted that his performance in this scene was indeed not very good, but it was useful.
Everyone present will know that she is pregnant and forced to drink by Concubine Lan, and she will not dare to continue persecution today.
The little maid on the side could be regarded as seeing the terrible 'White Lotus', so she stepped on it angrily and said, "What do you give you!" This fruit wine is brewed by my mother's own hands, it's not much, you wasted a glass and don't say it, and you want to ask for a pot at once?! β
Shi Qingqian was not annoyed, what she wanted was this effect, so she immediately made a harmless expression, "Yes, yes, Concubine Lan, since your palace maids have said so, it seems that I really have no blessings, so I have to accept my fate." β
Ji Shulan's face was pale, her jaw trembled with anger, and she endured it for a long time before she said, "Okay, good!" If you don't want to drink it, Jen'er let's go! β
Watching Ji Shulan leave, Shi Qingqian also put on a hypocritical smile, picked up a cup of tea from the side and rinsed his mouth well, covered everything in his mouth and spit it out, and then put his mind at ease.
"Sister?" Zuo Shinian was worried, and hurriedly came over and asked, "Are you okay?" β
Shi Qingqian pursed his lips and shook his head with a slight smile, "Well, I'm fine." But this Ji Shulan is not pure-hearted. β
She ...... What's wrong? Zuo Shinian glanced at Ji Shulan's back, "There's something in the wine?" β
Shi Qingqian nodded slightly, and his heart palpitated, "There are light bamboo leaves in it, fortunately, I have seen this medicine in the former king's favorite concubine Shuguifei before, it invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, but it is very easy to cause miscarriage...... It's a taste I'll never forget. β
"Sheβshe's trying to hurt the baby in your belly?" Sashi asked incredulously, although her voice was very low, but she couldn't hide the surprise in her tone, "But, why!?" Sister, you can't get in the way of her competition for favor! β
Shi Qingqian shook his head and said that he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
There are reasons for this. Shi Qingqian was in the limelight some time ago, which made this Ji Shulan suffer a lot, she was narrow-minded, and it was not impossible to retaliate.
It's just that she would poison the child in her womb for such a small thing, which Shi Qingqian didn't expect, such a vicious and vicious person...... Shi Qingqian felt afraid.
"You're all hereβ"
Just thinking about it, the voice of Concubine Tang came not far away, and I saw that the concubine was dressed in a colorful dress, with a red face and a happy face. And Shi Yueran stood behind her half of her body and walked over together.
All the ladies in the audience bowed down and saluted: "See the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang Wan'an; See the Queen's Mother-Queen's Mother--Queen's Mother-"
"Flat - today is a happy day, so you don't have to worry about these etiquette numbers anymore." Concubine Tang couldn't laugh enough, and waved her hand again and again to let them get up.
Shi Yueran had already helped Concubine Tang to sit on the main seat, and then she sat on the other side, half-leaned over and said to her: "Concubine, today's concubines and concubines of the palace, as well as the ladies and relatives next to her, all came early, and they all wanted to offer the gifts they had prepared to celebrate the birthday of the concubine, by the way...... Ask for a lottery! β
Concubine Tang smiled, looked at the women competing in the courtyard, waved her hand, and said, "Tell me about you, the birthday is here, where do you need to prepare anything carefully?" β
"Concubine Niangniang is laughing, you have a big birthday, we are also happy with this, the gift is to express our hearts, congratulations, not bothersome and where is there any perfunctory reason?" A person on the side said.
This person is dressed in black clothes and embroidered clothes, wearing beads on his hands, with a few traces of time between his eyebrows and eyes, since she came to this banquet, she has been sitting quietly on the side, as soon as she spoke, everyone recognized that it was the widow of the first emperor, Wei, and now she is named Mrs. Wei.
Previously, this Wei family was friendly with Concubine Tang, not that this Wei family did not fight or grab, but because she had always been weak, she couldn't fight and couldn't grab it, so naturally she went to the same camp with Concubine Tang.
After listening to what she said, Concubine Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, I originally wanted to call a few intimate people to come, and this Shou'an passed quietly, but the emperor has a heart, so he has to do it." Since you are ready, it is not good for you to take it back. β
Hearing this, Shi Yueran was also overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the people below: "The palace sees that the time has come, and the sisters and sisters should also take out the gifts and show them to us!" β
"Yes, yes, Concubine Niangniang, why don't you take a look at the gifts that the concubine has prepared for you first?" As soon as Shi Yueran's words fell, Na Shulan couldn't wait to stand up.
The concubine didn't say anything, and gently waved her hand and went with her.
This Ji Shulan clapped her hands lightly, and the maid walked up with a scroll in her hand, and when she saw her waving her hand again, she and the other maid slowly unfolded the scroll together.
I saw that on the two or three meter-long cloth scrolls, small dark red characters were neatly written. Concubine Tang looked at it fixedly, and only then did she recognize that it was a Buddhist scripture written in blood.
"This is ......," Concubine Tang's eyes were slightly stunned.
Ji Shulan smiled proudly: "Back to the words of the concubine, this is a great compassion mantra, and the concubine copied it with her own blood and water. The concubine knew that the concubine had always respected the Buddha, and she also knew that copying the Buddhist scriptures with human blood was the ultimate respect, so the concubine specially copied it and gave it to the concubine Niangniang......"
