Chapter 122: The Unlucky Great Prince
There are two main stages of the daytime ceremony, one is the guest congratulations, and the other is a talent show.
Of course, the so-called talent show is naturally not a hired folk team performance, but a performance by the children of aristocratic officials arranged by the queen, which can also be regarded as a show of strength and a blind date in disguise.
Although most of the princes are currently married, aren't there other princely clans, not to mention that even if the prince marries, he can choose again, and it is an honor to be a side concubine.
Today's princes can almost be said to be evenly divided, and it is uncertain who will be able to ascend to that position in the future.
If it happens to be the husband you marry who is on the throne, then the status is rising, even if it is just a small concubine, you can crush those high-ranking concubines.
When the master of ceremonies began to sing, everyone began to line up one after another to give the birthday gift that had been prepared for a long time.
The birthday gift given by the queen is a phoenix robe embroidered by herself, and she also deliberately found a medicinal silk to make it, and wearing it also has certain benefits for the body.
This gift is mainly given to filial piety and sincerity, but it has also been praised by many people.
The Queen Mother's eyes softened a lot when she looked at her, and she praised her twice.
Then there are the palace concubines.
The palace concubines can only give gifts in public, and the birthday gifts given by the rest of the concubines will basically be set up in a book, and then sent to the queen mother's private treasury.
Concubine Li gave a piece of jade Buddha carved from Fulushou three-color jadeite, which is not very eye-catching, but it is not bad.
A few other concubines, a few of them also gave a birthday gift, which is not too brilliant, but it will not lose face, and some concubines together embroidered a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, which also won the queen mother to smile.
Then it was the turn of the prince and the princess.
In order to be able to brush up on the queen mother's side, the princes and princesses took great pains to find a birthday gift early, and the birthday gift of the palace concubines seeking checks and balances is different, the birthday gift of the princes and princesses can be said to be 'a hundred flowers and a hundred flowers'.
"Imperial grandmother, this is a birthday gift prepared for you by your grandson, and I ode to Nanshan." The eldest prince walked majestically to the bottom of the pavilion, bowed his hands, and opened it with a long box in his back.
Inside the box is a golden cane with a phoenix pine branch, with exquisite and gorgeous carvings on it, and a faint rosin fragrance.
"This cane is carved from the roots of the thousand-year-old pine tree in Nanshan, because the pine tree is associated with the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, so it also has some medicinal properties, and it can be worn for a long time to warm the body. The grandson took this opportunity to congratulate the imperial grandmother on his longevity than Nanshan and the pine crane Changchun. ”
The eldest prince had a smile on his face, a loud voice, and a bit of smugness in his tone, as if he had expected that this gift would be liked by the Queen Mother.
But after he finished speaking, there was silence on the field, and in the pavilion, the queen mother was smiling, as if she was really satisfied, the queen was pale, and Wei Guojun also frowned.
Most of the rest were gloating or mocking, while the people of the Grand Prince's party were anxious and helpless.
The gift of the eldest prince is actually very good, but providence makes people.
If it was the former queen mother, it would be more appropriate to give this cane, and it could also reflect his filial piety, but now, ......
Everyone looked at the old state at all, like a middle-aged woman's queen mother, silently lighting wax for the eldest prince in their hearts.
Walking sticks have always only been used by the elderly, and it is not convenient for the elderly to use, and now the queen mother is not old, and it is not inconvenient to walk, isn't it counterproductive for you to give a walking cane?
I can really only say that the will of heaven is like this, and the eldest prince is destined to be unlucky today, who would have expected that the queen mother would suddenly be so young.
"I have a heart." The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, and the attendant next to her immediately stepped forward to accept the gift.
The eldest prince will also feel something strange at this time, but this will not be too much to think about, so he retreated with a sigh.
It was only when I passed by the desks of the other brothers that I was sarcastic and found the problem, and my face suddenly became a little difficult to look at.
"Speaking of which, why did the Queen Mother suddenly become so young." On the seat of the palace concubine, the second princess took the opportunity to ridicule the eldest princess, but after thinking about it, she secretly looked at the queen mother, and still lowered her voice and couldn't help but murmur.
After all, for women, they are still women in the palace, and their appearance is the second life, if there is really such a magical rejuvenation technique, then it is definitely good news for them.
The others were also watching a good show, but they were also distracted by her words, and they started to talk about it, and then suddenly turned their eyes to Wei Yuan's table.
As the fifteenth princess, although Wei Yuan's table is in the pavilion, it is relatively backward, and she is trying to fight with the melon seeds on the table, and she wants to learn that Bai Tang has beautiful melon kernels with a gentle pinch.
"Fifteenth sister, you have been following the Queen Mother, but do you know why the Queen Mother has become so young, what did you eat? You whisper, it's good if we don't say it. The sixth princess was pushed out by the mother concubine and asked.
The others waited expectantly and curiously for her to answer.
Wei Yuan raised his head and looked innocent, "This, well, let's eat the Rejuvenation Pill." "Eating the Rejuvenation Pill alone will definitely not have such a good effect, but people ask what the Queen Mother eats, and she has no problem answering like this.
Rejuvenation Pill!
A name that I had never heard of at all, and this name felt related to Zhuyan as soon as I heard it, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then where did this Rejuvenation Pill come from?" Is it available for sale? ”
Wei Yuan tilted his head innocently, and stretched his voice, "This~"
Everyone's eyes waited wider, and their necks stretched unconsciously.
Wei Yuan clicked, bit down the melon seeds, peeled the skin and threw the melon kernels into his mouth.
"You mean." The second princess is an impatient, so she can't help but urge.
Wei Yuan shrugged, "I don't know about this, the medicine was made by Sister Tangtang, you asked the wrong person." ”
Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes turned to Wei Yuan's side, Bai Tang, who was tacitly excluded and ignored by everyone from the moment he appeared.
Bai Tang just lowered his eyes, his slender fingers deftly peeled the hazelnuts, and put the white meat on a small plate with melon seeds.
There was silence for a while, and then they looked at each other.
They also heard from the palace people or family members about some of Bai Tang's deeds, saying that she could save the dead, and also researched an antidote that could cure a similar poison to willow disease.
When they first heard it, they only thought that the facts were exaggerated, and that her style of conduct was very undecent.
was originally a noble woman, but after getting the support of the queen mother, she abandoned the family and had no sense of responsibility, and then as an unmarried woman, she ran with the Nine Emperor Princes every day, and also came into contact with those diseases that sounded disgusting.
In addition, she was favored by the Queen Mother, which made many people feel jealous, and they unconsciously rejected and despised her.
"Hey, why don't you ask?" Wei Yuan looked at the silence of everyone, blinked very suspiciously, looked at them and asked, "Didn't you really want to know just now?" ”
"Well, ahem, White Girl, I don't know if it's true? The Rejuvenation Pill is really from you, can you really be as beautiful as the Queen Mother? Shaoqing, one of the second-rank palace concubines couldn't help but ask. NPC in Ancient Times: Doctor Sees Love, Depends on You
