Ye Jingjing nodded knowingly. The queen is a sleek person, and when she came to see the old lady, she naturally looked at the face of the king of Zhenbei. Thinking of Yeli, she frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Although it's not whole, it's also a birthday, you have to be serious, after all, it's ......"

Yexi suddenly remembered the scene he saw that day, and suddenly felt a slight jealousy in his heart, and said sourly: "After all, what? Is it after all that she is the mother concubine of the Nine Emperor Uncles? ”

Ye Jingjing was delicate, as soon as she heard his tone, she knew what he was thinking, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, she poked his forehead lightly with her finger, and scolded in a low voice: "Fool, you know how to think nonsense all day long, do you want something useful?" ”

"Originally......" Yexi rubbed her ears and muttered.

"You still say, I'm really angry."

"Don't, don't," Yexi hurriedly took her hand and said with a smile, "Didn't I just say it casually?" Are you serious? ”

Ye Jingjing glanced at him and snorted, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'm in!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait, Jingjing, wait for me ......" Yexi chased after him.

After the figures of the two disappeared into the doorway, an old woman emerged from under the fence opposite. The old lady said to herself, "I really didn't expect it! ”

Let's say that although this prince came suddenly, it is not surprising, the concubines present naturally know that the prince naturally came in accordance with the queen's will, so they all know in their hearts that it must be in the face of the king of Zhenbei.

According to the rules, Ye Mengmeng wanted to get up and salute the prince, but she was a person who had crossed over in modern times, and she was the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, her father and mother were pampered, and Concubine Pei was also generous to her, so she did not have the habit of kneeling, and all the concubines present were higher than the prince, and they did not need to salute the prince, and everyone's thoughts were focused on Ye Jingjing, so no one reminded Ye Mengmeng to kneel, so Ye Mengmeng did not have the slightest consciousness of kneeling, and still sat firmly as a matter of course.

When Yexi bumped into her, he looked embarrassed earlier, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to remind her, he chose to ignore it......

However, Gonggong Hu behind the prince had sharp eyes, and at a glance he saw a strange girl sitting among the concubines.

The slaves and maids around them all knelt down, but the girl was as steady as Mount Tai.

The girl was neither like a slave or a princess, even if she was a princess, she had to kneel when she saw the prince.

So Gonggong Hu frowned and shouted, "Who is that?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, why didn't he kneel? ”

Kneel? Ye Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, her eyes were on Ye Jingjing, only to see her snuggling up to Yexi, with an indifferent face but couldn't hide her smug smile.

Ye Mengmeng was unhappy, originally, Yexi was the prince, and it didn't hurt for her to kneel reluctantly, but the woman was also by his side, and if she knelt down, wouldn't she kneel to her in disguise?

Before she could say anything, Concubine Pei said coldly, "Who are you yelling at?" Is it Hongu? ”

Gonggong Hu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the slave ......"

Yexi heard the concubine's unhappiness, and hurriedly turned her head and scolded Gonggong Hu: "Don't you retreat?" Concubine Niang Niang here, what do you want you to say? ”

"Yes......" Gonggong Hu didn't dare to say any more, lowered his head and stepped back.

Yexi stepped forward and knelt down to salute, and said, "Grandson has seen the old lady." Today is the old lady's birthday, and the queen mother should have come to celebrate the old lady's birthday in person, but the queen mother occasionally felt cold, and now she felt a little heavy, so she had no choice but to order her grandson to come to celebrate the old lady's birthday. I wish the old lady good health and longevity! ”

Ye Jingjing also stepped forward and knelt down to salute, and her soft voice was crisp and pleasant.

"The courtier Ye Jingjing has seen the old lady. I wish the old lady a long life and a long life! ”

Concubine Pei frowned slightly, she didn't look at Ye Jingjing, her eyes just looked at Ye Xi, and said lightly: "Prince, get up, your queen mother has a heart, and she still remembers the birthday of this palace." ”

Yexi answered and got up. Ye Jingjing knelt there, without the concubine's instructions, it was inconvenient for her to get up.

Yexi smiled: "That's natural, the queen mother was talking about what to give the old lady when her birthday arrived half a month ago, and she was thinking about it in the palace all day long." While looking down and glancing at Ye Jingjing, he deliberately pulled her up, but he was afraid that the concubine would be surprised.

Ye Jingjing bit her lip, a little embarrassed.

Concubine Pei shook her head and said, "Didn't you give it away last year when you were in your whole life?" This year is just a flat birthday, in fact, there is no need to give gifts, and it is useless to send me to put it, but it is a waste. ”

While looking down at Ye Jingjing, he said lightly: "What kind of young lady is this?" Looking at the memory of this palace, I forgot about it for a while...... Rise up too! ”

"Yes!" Ye Jingjing got up and raised her head, her expression and tone were very docile and peaceful, without a trace of impatience and resentment, not even a little blush.

Ye Mengmeng couldn't help but admire a little.

Yexi also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is true." It's just that my uncle went out of the province and accidentally found a piece of red jade and gave it to his mother. The queen mother happened to carve a jade calf, and today she specially ordered her grandson to bring it to the old lady. After speaking, he waved his hand to the palace people behind him.

The palace people brought a box forward, put it on the table, and then carefully opened the lid and took out a red jade wrapped in red silk from the box.

I saw that this jade was blood-red, one or two feet long, shaped like a horse, with five black eyes, and raised its head and chest, making a soaring shape.

Everyone couldn't help but be secretly amazed. The nobles of Southern Chu like to use jade to carve the calf, and then give it to the old man with status as a birthday gift, but he never expected that it would be given to an old lady as a gift by the queen.

It's just that everyone thought in their hearts that although Concubine Pei was the concubine left by the emperor, she gave birth to a son, and this son has a lot of power in Southern Chu.

Ye Mengmeng was stunned, the book said that this jade calf was worth a fortune, it was originally a treasure privately collected by a businessman, and Ye Jingjing tried every means to buy it and give it away, why did it become a birthday gift from the queen to Concubine Pei here?

It's messed up, it's messed up...... Perhaps, from the moment she crossed over, everything was out of order.

Concubine Pei's eyes fell on the jade calf, she was secretly surprised in her heart, her face eased a lot, she shook her head and sighed: "Alas, this gift is too precious, it will accumulate dust here in the palace, and it is useless, it is better for you to take it back and give it to your mother, I think, your mother must be more useful." ”

Ye Xi begged: "Old lady, don't take this gift back, if you bring it back, the queen mother will scold her grandson." You'd better take it, right? It's just a mind, nothing. ”
