Chapter 103: About Gifts

After Zhang Yilu figured it out, she happily went back to her room to prepare.

first told the people to prepare dresses for her, and then sent people to order the latest jewelry, that excited look, as if she would be able to enter the palace tomorrow and become a mother.

Fei Ran didn't pay much attention to the things outside the palace at the beginning, but she was more concerned about the things in the palace recently.

Since it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, such an important day must prepare a gift that can be put on the table.

Last time, Fei Ranchu went to the cold palace for so long because of a gift that was exchanged, although she didn't want to repeat the mistake this time, but she still had to be careful in this matter, after all, as the old saying goes, you can't prevent it.

Yanghua Palace.

Xicui looked at Fei Ranchu with a distressed face, and reached out to rub her sore wrist.

"If you really can't do it, let the slave come, Niangniang, you have been so tired for several days, how can you be good if you are tired?"

"Wouldn't it be pointless if you didn't do this kind of thing yourself?"

Fei Ranchu shook off Xicui's hand without any care, then helped him to the desk, picked up the brush and began to copy the book again.

She thought about it carefully, a figure like the Queen Mother must not lack any treasures, and it seemed too vulgar to give her some ordinary things, so she thought of doing what she liked and copying a scripture book for her who believed in Buddhism.

It's not very valuable, but fortunately, it's also my own heart.

"It is said that the concubine Niangniang prepared an eight-treasure box made of the night pearl of the East China Sea, and put it in the house at night, just like the day! Is it really okay for us to do this? ”

Xicui still couldn't help but have some worries.

Although this time they will definitely prevent the concubine from changing the gift, the problem is that as a queen, the gift she gave is only a hand-copied scripture.

Although the heart is sincere, it is inevitable that it will still seem a little stingy when it is spoken, and it is not as valuable as others.

Fei Ranchu nodded, understood.

No wonder when she came to greet her in the past two days, her expression was already vaguely different.

In the past, it was pure anger and unwillingness that had been deliberately suppressed, but since the past two days, she seems to be more and more unable to hide the smugness between her eyebrows, as if something will make her suffer.

Was this the case?

It's just stupid!

"Recently, there have been frequent wars in Xiguan, and there have been frequent droughts in the north, although we have not suffered much since we were born under the heels of the Son of Heaven, but this palace, as the mother of a country, still has to be sympathetic to the suffering of the people."

Speaking of this, Fei Ranchu suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of the west and said: "You go to the treasury to collect and collect in a while, first gather three thousand taels of silver and hand it over to the treasury, and then let Your Majesty send it to the disaster area, which is also regarded as praying for the queen mother."

"Yes." Xi Cui blessed her body, and then turned her head and walked out, to do the things that Fei Ran had explained at the beginning.

"Dark Moon."

At the beginning of the day, the Dark Moon immediately flashed out from behind the screen

"In!"

"Besides Fei Jiqing, are there any other people in the palace who have been moving recently?"

"There is no particularly big movement, but there is no ......" Dark Moon thought for a moment and said: "If you insist on saying one, Concubine Cui is now serving the Queen Mother every day, and it has been almost more than ten days." Dark Moon said lightly.

"Concubine Cui?" Fira Chu frowned.

Is that the chubby Concubine Cui? Recently, she has come to ask for peace every day, but she seems to be a little tired between her eyebrows, is it because she goes to serve the queen mother every day?

"I've never heard her talk about it."

"Because her cousin is the imperial doctor who served the Queen Mother in the past, and she took leave a few days ago to go back to worship her ancestors, presumably because she was afraid that her cousin would not be able to take leave, so she went to replace it temporarily."

Darkmoon said with a frown.

She really couldn't think of any inevitable connection between this, and at the beginning, she didn't think it was a big deal, so she didn't talk to Fei Ran for the first time.

It's just that now looking at her mother's slight frowning and thinking, she vaguely realized that something seemed to be really wrong.

"What's wrong, sis?"

"It's nothing, you keep staring, just don't let people make trouble for this palace."

"Yes!"

Darkmoon agreed, and then dodged back behind the screen.

Seeing her so skillful movements, Fei Ranchu couldn't help but shake her head.

From the first day of the dark moon, you don't look for her, she hides alone in places that others can't see, such as the roof, or behind the screen.

Fei Ranchu also said that she just sent it away lightly with a sentence.

"The subordinates want to protect the mother silently, and it is more convenient to stand in the shadows."

Since then, Fei Ranchu has not dothered on this topic anymore, and she can do whatever she wants.

……

Time flew by and came to the day of the Queen Mother's birthday.

The palace was full of joy, and the palace people who came and went were full of smiles, and the money bags were also full, because of the rewards of the masters in the past two days.

Among the three little palace maids who went to the imperial study to deliver refreshments, the one standing at the back was weak and dark-skinned, obviously the most inconspicuous one, but before leaving, he quietly glanced up at Zhao Yufeng.

This matter was discovered by Gonggong Liu, and he glared back directly, and then the palace maid hurriedly bowed her head and left.

As she walked outside, the man in front of her suddenly turned around and asked.

"Xin'er, why did you walk so slowly just now? We almost distanced ourselves, and the teams we walked were not good-looking! ”

The palace maid named Xin'er didn't answer, just lowered her head and continued to walk forward.

……

As it approached noon, the visitors from outside the palace gradually gathered in the imperial garden.

Zhang Yilu is still standing there with a proud face like last time, and people will keep coming to flatter her.

It's just that this time she is also constantly paying attention, and if she sees Zhao Yushu's shadow, she will immediately walk away.

At this time, one of the official girls surrounding her asked, "Sister Yilu, what is the gift from Zhang's house?" Recently, my sister has inquired around, but I didn't find out what you sent! ”

"It's already handed in, and you'll know when the eunuch reads it out tonight!"

Zhang Yilu looked complacent, and before she could show off a few more words, her afterglow drifted to someone's figure.

The person's gaze suddenly collided with her, and Zhang Yilu hurriedly lowered her head and silently moved behind one of them.
