Chapter 108: Things Are Shabby
"Niangniang, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, what kind of gift do you plan to give?"
In two days it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and the entire inner court is preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday, but there is no movement here in her mother's house.
Chunxi was so anxious that she finally couldn't help but ask Shen Qianqian.
was asked by Chunxi, Shen Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and only then did she realize that the day after tomorrow was the birthday of the Queen Mother. Chunxi didn't mention it, she forgot about it.
For a while, he became anxious, frowned and thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pointed to the Buddha shrine on the side and said: "There is a string of rosewood Buddha beads there, just give it to the Queen Mother when the time comes." ”
Although the red sandalwood is not the best, but the master of Qinglong Temple has opened the light, and has been worshiped in front of the Buddha for a long time, I believe that the Queen Mother who is dedicated to the Buddha can not say anything when she receives such a gift.
"Wouldn't a string of Buddhist beads look a little too shabby?"
It is good for the Queen Mother to offer Buddha, but a string of rosewood Buddha beads is a little shabby even if it is given to other people as a gift, let alone the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has been the Queen Mother for so many years, and she has never seen anything good.
Let's not talk about when she was the queen mother, even when she was a concubine before, she was also a favorite concubine, and it is said that Emperor Gaozong collected a lot of rare treasures for her back then.
"The Queen Mother has been in the palace for so many years, and she has never seen anything good, so I am not inferior to this. Don't worry, she won't say anything. ”
Chunxi felt that the things sent by Shen Qianqian were shabby, but Shen Qianqian was the opposite of what she thought.
Moreover, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to have anything to do with her because of this trivial matter.
After all, the queen mother is the queen mother after all, if she cares about this trivial matter, can she be the queen mother now?
When Emperor Gaozong was there, although the Queen Mother was the only favorite, Emperor Gaozong had more concubines in the inner court than now.
Shen Qianqian has said this part, Chunxi can't say anything more, and she is blessed, "In that case, the slave went to find a good-looking box to pack the Buddha beads." ”
"Hmm. Go ahead. ”
The packaging is naturally to be packaged, otherwise it would be too unseemly to carry a string of Buddhist beads to the Queen Mother. Shen Qianqian waved her hand at Chunxi, and she continued to hold the book in her hand and look at it.
It's boring in this inner court.
In addition to reading, I can only write and draw.
That's right!
She has an atlas that she hasn't finished drawing yet, and she will have to submit it by the middle of the year, and it doesn't matter if she can't submit it, the point is that she will lose a lot of silver.
She's going to have to stay up late these days for the money.
It's all to blame for staying up late.
On weekdays, I am lazy and lazy, and I don't know how to be angry until the time is almost up.
On the ninth day of April, the Queen Mother's birthday.
The birthday banquet is scheduled in the evening, but it is arranged in the palace early in the morning. In the morning, the queen led the concubines to the palace to pray for the queen mother, and in the afternoon, the concubines accompanied the queen mother to watch the play and enjoy the flowers and garden, and in the evening, the banquet began.
Watching the drama and enjoying the flowers and visiting the garden, Shen Qianqian didn't like it, but when she prayed for the queen mother in the Mengxian Palace, she knelt down.
A kneeling is an hour.
"You really have yours, you can still walk like a fly after kneeling for an hour."
For these pampered ladies in the inner court, kneeling for a quarter of an hour or two is okay, kneeling for an hour, not to mention others, even Yao Hongye, who has a little kung fu foundation, has weak legs after kneeling.
