Chapter 163: Gift-giving

Because of this boy's disappearance, Princess Lu Qingyang has once again become a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys of the capital after tea and dinner - the last time she was talked about like this was when she married into the Ming Palace.

Outsiders don't know what the truth of the matter is, but they can't help but express surprise when they hear someone say that the missing children were abducted by human traffickers, and the person who rescued them back was actually the princess of Mingwangfu, who had only been married for less than half a year.

Not only did it spread quickly, but in the upper circles of those dignitaries and nobles in the capital, the news was also like wings, and it spread to everyone at once.

And at this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion -

"Heh, she's a little cheap hoof with no two taels of meat on her body, where did she get the ability to save the child from the hands of human traffickers? I think it's taking the credit of others on myself, right? ”

Qian heard this rumor and scoffed at it, although she said it with malicious intent, but I have to say that she was quite right, but she was only half right.

Lu Qingkite, who breathed out of one nostril with her, naturally had the same idea,

"Regardless of whether she saved the person or not, now everyone in the capital is praising her, saying that Princess Ming is a strange woman and a good person with a kind heart." Lu Qingyuan gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of jealousy, she was a concubine born of a cheap maid, how could she marry into the palace with the blue eyes of King Ming, and why could she be praised by the people for a good reputation. And she can only watch, but she can't get anything?

Obviously, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the famous Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, and the first beauty in the capital who is both talented and beautiful!

Jealousy makes people crazy, and Lu Qingyuan felt angry just by hearing the three words Lu Qingyang, and wanted to slap her hard to let her know that she didn't deserve all this.

"Mother, I can't bear it anymore! Lu Qingyang, this little slut, hurt me like that before, making me lose face in front of the ladies of various families and can't raise my head, but she lives a good life in the Mingwang Mansion, and she has a good reputation and has become a good person in the mouth of the whole capital, I can't bear it anymore! ”

"Mother didn't let you endure it, didn't you have a chance before? Now's your chance. ”

Lu Qingyuan's eyes lit up, "What chance?" ”

The expression on Qian's face was very mean, and the words she said were the same as her expression, revealing a strong malice, "Next month is the queen's birthday, let's think of a way at that time, I'm not afraid that she won't be ugly." ”

Lu Qingyuan froze for a moment, as if thinking of something, nodded and sneered: "This time, I will definitely return the insult I suffered before to her!" Look at her! ”

The mother and daughter are full of malice and plan a "revenge" drama in jealousy.

"Next month is the Queen's birthday?"

The case was solved, the children's crisis was resolved, Yuan Xiaobao was supposed to return to the school to continue studying, but the concubine was not at ease, so he still let him stay at home for a few more days and go back to the school in a few days. The Yuan circle had nothing to do, so he took Yuan Xiaobao to accompany the concubine.

Hearing the concubine say that the beginning of next month is the queen's birthday, and they are all going to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday, Yuan Huanhuan raised his head, and seemed to be a little reluctant in his heart.

The queen is not on the same page with her, she is not a person all the way, she doesn't want to see her at all, let alone go to her birthday party.

But she is the queen, and Yuan Quanquan is the royal daughter-in-law, and she is the new princess of Ming this year, if there are no special circumstances, she has to go.

"Yes, in previous years, my family set up a small banquet in the palace to have a meal together, this year Concubine Qing gave birth to a little prince, and you entered the Ming Palace, many happy events came together, the emperor was probably in a good mood, so he ordered to invite the ministers to celebrate together on the queen's birthday, and it was a happy and lively picture."

The concubine took a piece of osmanthus cake with her hands, fed it to Yuan Xiaobao's mouth with her own hands, and saw that the little guy was eating with bulging cheeks, like a little frog, and smiled very lovingly.

When the Yuan Circle heard this, he thought: Since it is her birthday, does she still want to give gifts?

Although I am a little reluctant in my heart, after all, she is a queen, and etiquette must be there, otherwise she will be tongue-stricken, saying that she is so ignorant as Princess Ming. In addition, she has such a relationship with the queen and her aunt and nephew, and she can't fall into the hands of others.

The queen's birthday is not like ordinary people, it is natural that the ministers go to the banquet, the princes and nobles are all there, and the gifts given are naturally some good treasures and valuable things.

Although Yuan Quanquan doesn't like the queen, she still has to give the gift that should be given, and the grade can't be too low, otherwise she will lose her own face and the face of the Ming Palace.

However, what to send has become a big problem for her.

"Wouldn't it be okay to pick one of the storerooms in the house?" Meditation Xiu didn't have a good impression of the queen who had bullied his family's small circle, and if it weren't for Beitangli's request that he definitely attend, he wouldn't want to go at all.

At this time, seeing that the princess of his family was frowning for what gift to give, it was a little incomprehensible.

Yuan Huanhuan was lying on the table and paralyzed like a lump of mud, his chin rested on the table, his arms stretched out and holding the edge of the table, his image was completely gone, his movements did not change, only his eyes rolled, and he glanced at the man on the side: "I just don't know which one to pick!" ”

At this time, the Yuan Circle wanted to complain about the money in the Mingwang Mansion.

Damn, it's so rich that people are jealous!

There is a treasury in the palace, which is specially used to store all kinds of treasures.

For example, what is the best sheep fat jade made of the son Guanyin, and the night pearl as big as an egg, the Danqing painted by a famous painter in the previous dynasty, the poetry scroll written by the contemporary great writer, and the best elixir from the hand of a certain divine doctor, etc. The whole building is filled with all kinds of precious items that the Yuan Circle has seen, never seen, heard, and never heard.

She had already been there this morning, and her idea was the same as meditation, just pick a gift that she could get and give it out. As a result, when she came out of the storeroom, she had only one thought in her heart.

Is it crazy to give these priceless treasures to the old woman of the queen?

Won't she keep it for herself?

Although the Yuan Circle is now a princess of Ming, she wears gold and silver every day, and lives an extremely luxurious and wealthy life, but she is still a poor working person who grew up in a lonely house and lives at the bottom of the society, and her nature will not change.

She is reluctant to give those things that may be worth millions or even hundreds of millions to someone who doesn't like her and the other party doesn't like her, isn't this a waste of good things?

Ming Xiu didn't understand her troubles, thought about it, and gave her a choice: "The night pearl of the South China Sea, or the red peony and jade Ruyi, this king thinks these two things are quite suitable." ”

Unexpectedly, he was instantly denied by the Yuan Circle: "No! ”

That night pearl is the size of an egg, even if she doesn't understand, she knows that this size of the night pearl is quite rare, and there is only one in her own house, how can she give it away? No, this one resolutely can't work!

And that red peony jade Ruyi was a thank you gift given to her by Ding'an Hou last time in order to thank her for rescuing Jiang Li, a gift given to her by others, how could she transfer it to others, it was not appropriate, this should not be sent.

Seeing her pained expression, Ming Xiu vaguely guessed what she was thinking, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, "This is not good, that is not appropriate, what does the small circle think is more appropriate?" ”

"I just don't know why I'm asking you!" Fly over, Yuan Quanquan really wants to have Baidu here at the moment, so that she can go online to help netizens - what to give to the elders who don't like it so that it doesn't lose face and don't cost money? Wait online, hurry!

Helplessly, there is no Baidu here, and there are no netizens who can help her, so she can only continue to lose her hair and think about what to send.

When she went to bed at night, she was still thinking about it, and she didn't feel sleepy at all, and she couldn't be at peace with her meditation by tossing and turning.

"If you don't sleep again, this king will have to do something else." Holding the person into his arms, the meditation cultivator locked her arms to her chest, pressed the person firmly to her chest, and said half-threatening and half-seductively.

Yuan Quanquan was full of gifts at this time, and he didn't react at once, and he looked confused, "Huh? As soon as I raised my head, I felt a shadow cover it, and then it was a coldness on my lips.

The meditation cultivator pressed the person in his arms and kissed him lightly and deeply, and kissed until the person in his arms was almost breathless, his brain was fast and couldn't turn around, and he pinched his pink fist and beat his chest, and then he slowly retreated.

"Why bother with this little thing, if you really don't have an idea, just send out what you don't like the most in the warehouse?" Afraid that she would be unable to sleep all night because of the trivial matter of giving gifts, which seemed to him to be insignificant, the meditation meditated again.

Yuan Quanquan lay on the body of the meditation cultivator and gasped for a long time before he could breathe evenly, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes to look at him, and he actually looked aggrieved: "But I like all those things in the warehouse!" "These are very valuable treasures! How could she not like it?

"Then pick the one with the lowest value." Having already figured out the mind of a certain little woman, meditation can only give a third alternative.

The Yuan Circle drooped his face, thinking about it, as if it could only be like this.

Early the next morning, she asked people to bring her the roster of the warehouse, flipped through it for a long time, struggled for a long time, and finally picked out a treasure that she felt was the most boring and worthless - a volume of "People's Residence" written by Gong Jingzhi, a famous calligrapher of the previous dynasty.

This volume can be read as a book or used as a copybook.

Gong Jingzhi was one of the most famous calligraphers in the previous dynasty, and his works were rare and precious, and many literati and ink writers vied for his pen and ink, and many of them were proud to own Mr. Gong's ink treasures.

There are a lot of his calligraphy works in the palace of King Ming, and this "People's Residence" is only one of them, and in terms of value, it is indeed inferior to others.

Yuan Quanquan is a rough person, and he can't appreciate these calligraphy works, so he chose this calligraphy post that she felt she could get her hands on, and she wouldn't be too distressed, and decided to take this as a birthday gift for the queen.
