Chapter 85: The Gift

Lianxin also came over to help, and said excitedly: "What the princess said is that now our ointment is in short supply outside, and money can't buy it. ”

A smile appeared on Gong Tianyao's face, it was expected that the ointment sold well, it was a reward for her hard work, and there was nothing to be particularly happy about.

However, when she came back from Song Zhao, she kept thinking about what he said, and for some reason, naturally, she started the idea of sending ointment to the Queen Mother and the Empress, and if they liked it, they might be able to help Song Zhao.

However, she didn't say these words, Lianxin simply thought that the princess had suddenly opened her mind, and knew that she had honored her elders to please adults.

After working for an hour, he finally made a sufficient amount of ointment, and specially instructed Lianxin to find a few delicate boxes to hold the ointment. Lotus Heart quickly found out a few glass light element round boxes of the same size and different styles, Gong Tianyao did it himself, not sloppy at all, packed the ointment, and let Lotus Heart use the packaging, so that he had time to sit down and rest.

Early the next morning, Gong Tianyao slept in a daze, and Lianxin urged her several times before she got up, her eyes were still closed, and she let Lianxin dress up for herself.

I don't know how long it took, Gong Tianyao finally woke up, opened a small slit in her eyes, and looked at her slightly unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, which was dressed up by Lianxin, and was slightly surprised.

Lianxin's voice could not hide the surprise and joy: "The princess is really naturally beautiful, and she will definitely be able to surprise the four at the banquet when the time comes." ”

Gong Tianyao frowned: "If it's really as exaggerated as you say, then I can't go to this banquet, I don't want people to think that I am deliberately stealing the limelight." ”

"It's the slave who lost her words." Lianxin remembered the princess's evasion, and hurriedly changed her words and said: "The princess is dressed generously and decently today, and she will never find faults, even if someone has the heart to find fault with you, he can't find the slightest mistake." ”

"That's pretty much it." Gong Tianyao expressed her satisfaction, and put on the yellow Luo skirt, even if she was completely prepared.

Lianxin sent her out, just as the prince was pacing over and planning to move forward with the princess, Gong Tianyao was a little surprised, thinking that he would sit in the carriage in front of the palace gate and wait for him as before.

Song Zhao's eyes flashed the moment he saw her, but he pursed his lips and didn't say anything, Gong Tianyao was worried that it was too late, urging him to leave quickly, Song Zhao had always been silent, and she didn't think much about it, until she got into the carriage and the two were alone, Gong Tianyao realized it later.

There was silence in the carriage, and Gong Tianyao couldn't stand it the most, and her brain spun rapidly, trying to find a topic that could break the current situation.

She didn't know what to say yet, but Song Zhao was the first to break the silence: "What is the princess holding in her hand?" ”

Following his line of sight, she was holding the ointment that had been made overnight last night. Referring to his proudness, Gong Tianyao opened the chatterbox, and the previously slightly dull atmosphere was swept away.

Song Zhao listened to Gong Tianyao's gushing introduction, his expression was indifferent, although he didn't show full interest, but at least he didn't show impatience.

Gong Tianyao said a lot with great interest, and Song Zhao finally smiled and replied: "The princess has a heart." ”

"It's just a little heart, it's not worth anything." Gong Tianyao waved her hand very casually, but heard Song Zhao say again: "There are no other concubines at this banquet, don't worry, Concubine Zhang has no chance to trouble you this time." ”

When he mentioned Zhang Guifei, Gong Tianyao's heart inevitably jumped, that poisonous woman was extremely vicious, fortunately she couldn't see her this time, otherwise if that woman came to provoke again, I am afraid that she would not be able to control the anger in her heart and treat her well! But if you lose your mind in front of the Queen Mother, it won't be good.

She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "That account, I will settle accounts with her sooner or later, but now is obviously not the time, so it's better not to see her." ”

"Hmm."

Song Zhao's voice was low, but it implied firmness, Gong Tianyao couldn't help but look up at him, and saw that he was also looking at herself, her eyes were unexpectedly soft, unconsciously soothing the restlessness in her heart.

She calmed down, put aside her hatred for Zhang Guifei for the time being, breathed a long sigh of relief, and tried to imagine what the next banquet would be.

The carriage finally stopped slowly, and Song Zhao got out of the carriage first, stretched out his hand to help Gong Tianyao down. Then the two walked hand in hand, Gong Tianyao blushed slightly, although she knew that it was just to act for everyone, she couldn't help but beat her heart faster.

Song Zhao's palm is warm, no longer wet and cold in his impression, it seems that his body has recovered well recently, Gong Tianyao looked at him, Song Zhao didn't squint, as if he didn't notice Gong Tianyao's gaze at all, and he hid the throbbing in his heart very well.

Along the way, there were a lot of exploratory and curious eyes thrown at the two of them, Gong Tianyao and Song Zhao were already accustomed to the attitude of outsiders, and walked to their positions and sat down generously.

Waiting for almost all of them, Gong Tianyao quietly glanced around, knowing that except for the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager, all the princesses and princes who came today were princesses, and there were no harem concubines, she took a sip of tea, and a faint smile appeared on her face: I don't know how the high-spirited Zhang Guifei should scratch her heart and liver at this time.

She deserves it, she can't recognize her identity, she jumps up and down, but in front of the rules, a concubine is a concubine after all, and the queen knows this clearly, so she can be so calm and restrained.

She looked up at the high seat, the real protagonist was late, and before she saw anyone, she heard a burst of generous and gentle laughter, and everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the arrival of the Queen Mother.

Gong Tianyao's eyes lit up, she thought that the Queen Mother would be a gray-haired old lady, and when she saw it, she found that the Queen Mother was not as old as she imagined, only the fine lines at the corners of her eyes betrayed her real age, in general, the maintenance was still quite good, Gong Tianyao was secretly happy in her heart: The ointment has a place to use now, and the Queen Mother will definitely like it.

Song Zhao ranked ninth, and waited for the princes and princesses in front of him to offer gifts, the queen mother was full of smiles, her words were cordial, and she did not favor one over the other, until Gong Tianyao offered the ointment, and the queen mother received it in her hand, and she was still a little puzzled about what it was, and she didn't know what it was for, so she heard the queen ask in surprise: "Is this the fragrant cloud paste that has been widely spread recently?" ”

"Xiangyun ointment?" The Queen Mother was puzzled: "What is that?" ”

"Didn't the former Erchen give you a bottle of ointment, how do you feel about it?" The queen's face was beaming.

"Good." When the Queen Mother heard the queen mention the ointment, she couldn't help but ask Gong Tianyao in surprise: "Is this this?" ”
