Chapter 123: Out of the limelight
This concubine's age is not young, and getting old means that there will never be a chance to be favored again, she is not like Concubine Li, who has conceived children for the monarch, as long as she continues to be safe and stable, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, she can get the title of a concubine.
And those of them who have no children and no daughters can only be sent to the nunnery to be accompanied by the green lantern in their later years, or to guard the imperial mausoleum.
It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, because there is indeed no way back, you can only rush forward with your head covered, or rush out of a piece of heaven and earth, or hit your head and bleed, and there will be no return.
The women in the palace have never had their own choice, even if they don't have the heart to fight, they have to be forced to fight and win, because once they fall behind, sometimes they will not only be beaten, but also may die with their families behind them without a place to be buried.
Bai Tang looked back at her, and then looked at the other people who were either curious, or turned their heads to disguise themselves and pretended not to care, and were about to open their mouths.
At this time, there was a small noise on the field.
When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was the turn of the six princes to give gifts.
The congratulatory gift of the six princes is a picture of ten thousand Buddhas, about ten meters long, with Buddha characters written scattered on it, judging from the font, it is obviously not written by one person.
And the six princes also gave the answer, this 10,000 Buddha map was written by him for 10,000 monks, and those monks put it in the Buddha shrine to recite the scriptures.
Not to mention the value of this picture, this heart is enough.
Sure enough, this time the smile in the queen mother's eyes was a little more sincere, and she smiled and nodded, and ordered her subordinates.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang is really blessed, the six princes are so filial and capable, resourceful." One concubine smiled and smiled at the other palace concubine, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, only the jealousy that was concealed.
Concubine Xian, who accepted everyone's envious eyes, only smiled implicitly, and said, "This child is only a little smart, but he does have filial piety, and I only recently learned about this picture, that child began to collect ten thousand Buddha characters from the time when the queen mother was sick eight years ago. ”
When everyone heard this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to laugh on the surface, after all, they did this thing beautifully.
It can be said that if you judge according to your heart, it is estimated that there are few princes and princesses who can compare with it today.
After all, this one cannot be measured in terms of value and rarity.
As others think, the gift of the six princes alone can be said to have pressed everyone down, it was originally a carefully prepared gift, and there is confidence that it can be a blockbuster, but now there are ten thousand Buddha pictures, and then everything is a little ordinary.
Everyone was so aggrieved that they could not do it, and at this moment they could almost empathize with their eldest brother before, but they also hated the sixth brother.
Since the six princes have done it, they will naturally expect the situation after that, and of course they don't care.
Calmly accepting the gaze of everyone's different emotions, Shi Shiran returned to his seat.
Although there is such an extra play, it also makes the people who give gifts a little more depressed, but this process still has to be carried on.
Wei Guojun has a total of twelve princes, but except for Wei Jiuli, who is ranked ninth, the remaining three, the eldest tenth prince is only six years old, and the youngest is only one year old, just born last year.
These princes naturally don't need to be special to prepare gifts, and even if they do, they don't need to be sent on the field, so the last one is Wei Jiuli.
All the princes watched him walk forward, and their eyes sharpened.
If it is said that he wants to get the help of the Queen Mother, Lao Jiu, who is unclear with Bai Tang, who is valued by the Queen Mother, is obviously the first to get the moon near the water, which makes them both a little envious and very disdainful, and they feel that he can't be on the stage by relying on women to connect the bridge.
Of course, these are just the sour words in their hearts, how many people here have not relied on women to connect with each other.
The congratulatory gift prepared by Wei Jiuli was unexpectedly ordinary.
Everyone thought that she was close to the people around the Queen Mother, and she also got a little blue eyes from the Queen Mother, and she should also take advantage of the victory to pursue and perform well on the Queen Mother's birthday, but they didn't expect it......
In fact, the things sent by Wei Jiuli are not ordinary.
What he gave was a string of golden silk ebony bracelets, which were also based on Buddha, and they collided with the theme of the Six Princes.
Originally, this gift was okay, but it was compared head-on with the six princes, so it naturally fell behind.
At this moment, the mood of the people below began to change again, and they were relaxed again, some people laughed, and some people were puzzled.
However, the queen mother liked this bracelet quite a lot, so she asked the chamberlain to take it up, took it out and played with it herself, and then said with a smile, "I have a heart." ”
Everyone only regarded the Queen Mother as the Queen Mother, and this move was to give the Nine Emperor Princes a step down, but in fact, the Queen Mother was indeed very satisfied with this gift.
The gold threads on the bracelet are indeed silk from a distance, but if you look closely, you will find that those gold threads are actually miniature carved scriptures.
Most of all, she recognized the golden ebony.
A long time ago, she also had a string of gold silk ebony micro-carved beads, and later she put it on Mama Fei and buried it with her.
Although it's not the same string, it has also caused some good memories after all, and it can be regarded as sending it to the heart.
After the prince was finished, it was the turn of the princess.
Most of the gifts of the princess are embroidery, or ornaments made by herself, which are not particularly valuable, but they can reflect the heart.
The next step was to send congratulatory gifts from the envoys.
This time, a total of thirteen countries sent envoys, but except for Mongolia and Su, the rest were tribes or some vassal states.
The Queen Mother held her birthday for the first time, and all countries didn't know how to do what they liked, so they simply sent things that they thought were strange.
Among them are strange stones, strange grasses, and even strange-looking beasts.
The little beast hooked Wei Yuan's heart, and kept staring at it without turning, eager to run over and grab it now.
However, the little beast called the beast sent by Kuraki Country does look very different and cute.
Its body is like a little milk dog that has just been born, but its limbs are much more slender than ordinary dogs, its whole body is snow-white hair, and its eyes are also clear silver-gray.
The Queen Mother was not interested in raising pets, but when she saw this little thing, she couldn't help but remember that when she first saw Bai Tang, the girl just looked up at her with round apricot eyes.
There was no emptiness or confusion in those eyes, as if they were crystal clear, otherwise any filthy pool of water, so pure and ignorant.
Su Guo was personally given by the third son, Qiao Qi, with the gift.
After she reported her name, everyone knew that the other party was not a female general, or the daughter of a prince and general of the Su Kingdom, but the princess of the orthodox Su State royal family.
It is said that the prime minister has seven officials in front of the door, and the status of these countries is different from country to country, and the status of any person in the royal family will naturally be unequal. NPC in Ancient Times: Doctor Sees Love, Depends on You
