The woman's movements caused more side eyes for the two, but fortunately more people focused their attention on the communication, so that it was a small episode, and it did not cause any waves.

Duanmu Heng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his actions, he reached out and picked up a green fruit, stretched out his long hand, and handed it to Lin Xiaomiao's mouth.

"Okay, don't worry about the idle people, don't you like to eat fruit? Give it, it's delicious, if it's not enough, I'll have someone serve it again. ”

Lin Xiaomiao turned her face sideways, and did not eat the fruit in her mouth with his hand, but said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean, this is what I can eat." ”

"Isn't it possible to eat?" Duanmu Heng smiled, every time he saw Lin Xiaomiao's puffed up look, he inexplicably felt a lot better.

Lin Xiaomiao glared at him again, "What nonsense!" ”

"Oh, this king is not talking nonsense, it is true that you have been sitting down in the temple until now, but your mouth has not stopped, seeing how happy you are, I have eaten several more fruits than before. But is this fruit really that delicious? ”

As he spoke, he threw the fruit in his hand that Lin Xiaomiao didn't want to eat into his mouth.

In fact, the fruits on the dwarf table are all small ones, even if Lin Xiaomiao eats a few more fruits, they will not occupy their stomachs.

And Lin Xiaomiao didn't eat a lot, although her mouth didn't stop, she was always moving, but she was just eating slowly, it was really those young ladies and girls in this dynasty who ate too little for their good-looking figures, which made Lin Xiaomiao eat a little more.

Duanmu Heng chewed the emerald green fruit in his mouth and nodded, "Well, yes, it's still quite delicious, sweet and sour, but it's quite appetizing." ”

Lin Xiaomiao didn't bother to pay attention to Duanmu Heng anymore, and sat upright and looked elsewhere.

At this moment, there was a great commotion at the temple gate.

Lin Xiaomiao's attention was attracted to the past and looked over.

"The queen is here." Duanmu Heng didn't need to look to know who could cause such a big sensation.

Sure enough, the people in the hall quickly sorted out their appearances and stood up in their places.

When the two of them, dressed in a black dragon robe and a big red phoenix robe, walked in hand in hand, with a long chant from the eunuch, "The emperor has arrived!" The Queen Mother has arrived! ”

Everyone in the hall knelt down one after another, and they all knelt down respectfully, "See the emperor!" See the Queen! ”

Lin Xiao is still very ignorant of the etiquette in the palace, although he knows some under the explanation of the palace maid in the past two days, but he has not practiced it, so he is quite busy learning the appearance of others, and knelt down.

Duanmu Heng also tidied up his robe and knelt down in a proper manner.

Lin Xiaomiao picked up the gap and looked up slightly, the emperor in the dragon robe had a beard, and he looked very majestic, but when he looked at his eyebrows, he knew that he was a beautiful man when he was young, although he didn't look old now, he was a mature handsome uncle in modern times.

The queen also looks very young, very well maintained, and looks to be in her twenties at most.

However, women in ancient times generally married and had children at an early age, and some even gave birth to children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, so the children were all older, and they were only in their early thirties.

The queen was also good-looking, her appearance was gentle and elegant, she knew at a glance that she was knowledgeable, she was an excellent woman with an excellent background and upbringing, and her eyebrows and eyes were kind.

The emperor said loudly: "Calm down." ”

When the two most noble people of the Southern Dynasty sat on the top, the kneeling people bowed and stood up one after another.

The queen smiled and said: "It's just the birthday ceremony of the palace, I hope everyone can be casual, just treat it as an ordinary palace banquet, don't be too restrained, but ruin the mood." ”

The queen said so, and naturally there was a group of people underneath who were responding.

Now that the protagonist is in place, it's time to give the gift.

Those princes and princesses all stepped forward one by one to present birthday gifts to the queen, all of which were precious and valuable.

Seeing that one by one of the royal clansmen stepped forward to offer gifts, Lin Xiaomiao looked back and forth, left and right, and didn't see anyone holding her somewhat space-occupying birthday gift ready to offer.

She couldn't help lowering her voice and asked Duanmu Heng beside her: "Why haven't you seen the birthday gift you asked me to make?" Don't you want it? ”

Duanmu Heng still looked nonchalant, "What's the hurry?" The main play is played at the end. Rest assured, I can guarantee that our birthday gift will be the most dazzling and novel in the audience. ”

Lin Xiaomiao didn't agree with his point of view, novelty is novelty, and as for dazzling, she still thinks those precious odd toys are more attractive.

Among them, one of the princes even gave a half-human-high coral jade!

As soon as the dusty cloth was torn off, the entire hall lit up in an instant, and it was extremely delicate and dazzling.

Half-human tall coral jade, Lin Xiaomiao has never seen such a valuable thing, her eyes are looking at it without blinking, she thinks it is really good-looking, and more importantly, it is valuable!

Duanmu Heng couldn't look at her like she had never seen the world, and said, "It's just a coral jade, is it worth staring at you so nicely?" ”

Lin Xiaomiao didn't look back, still staring at the dazzling coral jade, "I'm just so petty, haven't I ever seen such a valuable coral jade?" ”

Duanmu Heng then remembered Lin Xiaomiao's background, he glanced at the coral jade, and then looked at Lin Xiaomiao's good-looking face, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "If you like it, this king will let people find the largest coral jade in the world and give it to you." ”

Lin Xiao retracted his reluctant gaze and looked at Duanmu Heng, "Don't bother so much, I just haven't seen it, even if you give me a bigger one, I'm useless, I can't be a pawn, it's okay to give me some silver." ”

This is Lin Xiaomiao's sincere words, such a big coral jade, if ordinary people had already dedicated it to the emperor, how could the ordinary people dare to keep it, and it is so big, isn't it a hindrance to put it in the house? You have to prevent thieves from stealing it, and getting such a big coral jade will only make people upset.

Just when those dignitaries were almost presenting gifts, the prince who was favored by Duanmu Heng with red eyes on the side said sourly: "I haven't seen the royal brother present a birthday gift to the queen mother, and I don't know what birthday gift the royal brother has prepared for the queen mother this year, isn't it unprepared?" ”

The prince was sitting in the position below Duanmu Heng, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a little suspicious of stirring up trouble.

The position where Duanmu Heng sat was the closest position on the left side of the emperor, which was already eye-catching, and as soon as the prince said this, everyone's eyes in the palace were on Duanmu Heng.

Even Lin Xiaomiao has gained a lot of attention, and Lin Xiaomiao is really a little uncomfortable now.

Duanmu Heng glanced coldly at the prince who was suspected of stirring trouble, although the prince was afraid of Duanmu Heng's eyes, he still said stiffly: "If the imperial brother is ready to have it, it is better to take it out and let our brothers open their eyes, after all, the birthday gifts prepared by the imperial brother in previous years were first-class." ”

This prince is the prince who has just presented a half-human-tall coral jade, which has attracted the attention of the audience, and it is the time to be complacent.

Duanmu Heng didn't speak with a cold face, but the emperor who was sitting at the top at this time spoke, and he looked at Duanmu Heng with a smile, "Heng'er, is it because you were too busy some time ago, so you didn't have time to prepare a birthday gift for the queen?" ”

The emperor may also think that Duanmu Heng did not prepare a birthday gift, and wanted to excuse him under the pretext of being busy with court affairs, after all, it was obvious to all that Duanmu Heng was so busy staying in the palace some time ago.

The queen also chimed in: "It's okay, Heng'er is used to being a child with a heart, just have her mind on the line." If you are busy with court affairs, you still have to rest, but don't tire yourself out, otherwise the emperor and the palace will be distressed. ”

The queen's every word was full of care and affection.

The emperor's words made the provocative prince even more jealous in his eyes, and the protagonist spoke, so that he wanted to say something to ridicule Duanmu Heng's face, but he couldn't do it, so he could only sit back in his place indignantly and sulk.

Just when everyone thought that Duanmu Heng really didn't have time to prepare a birthday gift for the queen, Duanmu Heng sneered: "Erchen thanked his father and queen mother for their concern, although it was a busy court some time ago, but Erchen did not forget to prepare a birthday gift for his mother, on the contrary, Erchen felt that this birthday ceremony should be very fond of the queen mother." ”

Duanmu Heng said, shouting loudly: "Come on, present the birthday gift specially prepared by this king for the queen mother!" ”

"No!"

With a shrill response, the two eunuchs came forward carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.

Duanmu Heng glanced back at Lin Xiaomiao, and stretched out his hand to lead Lin Xiaomiao out.

Lin Xiaomiao couldn't refuse, so she could only be dragged out by Duanmu Heng.

As soon as the two stood up, they attracted the attention of everyone present.

"This birthday gift, but thanks to the woman next to Erchen, it was made."

Duanmu Heng said, and his tone was a little proud.

Hearing Duanmu Heng say this, the emperor and queen at the top were all interested, "Oh, what kind of gift is it from the hands of this fairy-like girl?" ”

The queen said: "Since this is the case, Heng'er should not sell it again, quickly let people uncover the fig leaf and let the palace take a good look at what kind of gift it is, if it is really a good thing that the palace and the emperor have not seen, the palace will be rewarded!" ”

The queen was very generous and gave a promise.

The emperor is not stingy, "That's right, if something strange can make the queen happy, I will also have a reward." ”

Duanmu Heng was waiting for the emperor's words, and he said to Lin Xiaomiao beside him: "You go and uncover the cloth." ”

"Me?" Lin Xiaomiao was still a little confused, and asked rhetorically.

"Hmm." Duanmu Heng said, and directly pushed the person to the side of the two eunuchs.
