Chapter 151: The Night Banquet Turmoil - Birthday Gift
Empress Dowager Zuo pulled the two little girls and said to Luo Qing with a smile: "These are the two little granddaughters of the distant relatives of the mourning family. I came here today to celebrate the birthday of the mourning family! ”
The Queen Mother's family, no wonder she did it to the Queen Mother's side!
However, the Zuo family has a big business, and the so-called distant little granddaughter doesn't know how far apart she is.
Because Luo Qingqian really can't see that the two little girls and the Empress Dowager Zuo have the place where they imagine!
But she couldn't see that someone hadn't let go of this good opportunity for flattery.
A person sitting next to him said in a coquettish voice: "No wonder these two little ladies don't look very old, but Zhou is noble and magnificent, because they are relatives with the Queen Mother." No wonder she looks a little similar to the Queen Mother!"
Luo Qingqian couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, this is simply talking nonsense with her eyes open!
The queen mother is Danfengyan, but the two children have big eyes and double eyelids; The Queen Mother has slightly high cheekbones, pointed jaws, red and thin lips, although she is not very beautiful, you can see that she was also a beauty when she was young. The two children still have two round bun faces, which look cute but not very beautiful.
Luo Qingqian, but I really can't tell how the two children resemble the Queen Mother!
But she can't say it, it doesn't mean that others can't say it, many people next to her nodded yes, the queen mother listened to the smile on her face, but there was a cold light in the depths of her eyes.
Luo Qingqian was close at this time, and the ghostly light in the Queen Mother's eyes flashed too fast, and she was still keenly captured by Luo Qingqian.
Luo Qingqian did not continue to follow the trend of chasing the two girls, but slightly saluted the Empress Dowager Zuo and said: "Today, the Queen Mother's birthday, it is also a rare opportunity for the two young ladies to come to the Queen Mother to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday." Queen Mother, Qing Qian has prepared a good thing for you! ”
As soon as the Queen Mother heard her say this, she immediately came to her spirit and said: "Qingqian has a heart!" What did you bring to the mourners? ”
The big eunuch who was waiting next to him was very clever, and he hurriedly asked the little eunuch to go outside and bring in Shicui and others who were waiting outside the main hall to be summoned.
Shi Cui, Ti Hong, Yun Juan, and Yun Shu were lined up, holding boxes of different sizes in their hands.
The ladies in the hall all looked over curiously.
These noble ladies who came here came earlier than Luo Qingqian, so they gave the birthday gifts they prepared to the Queen Mother early, which also avoided clashing with other people's gifts in the front hall for a while.
At this moment, when all the women saw Luo Qingqian holding these things, their eyes widened with curiosity!
Everyone has such a heavy curiosity, and it is also because Luo Qingqian was still an idiot a few months ago, and before the Queen Mother's birthday, it was Luo Qingchu, the eldest lady of Luofu, who came on behalf of the Luo family. And I didn't come to the Queen Mother directly, I went directly to the banquet hall to wait.
This year, this somewhat mysterious second lady of the Luo family not only came, but also brought so many gifts.
Luo Qingqian took a few steps back, retreated in front of Shicui and the others, and raised her hand to open a food box in Ti Hong's hand.
Inside the box were rows of small things that looked like pastries. Each one has a small animal squatting on it, and the sharp-eyed lady took a closer look at it and asked curiously: "This is the zodiac?" ”
Luo Qing smiled slightly: "Exactly!" This is a gift from me to the Queen Mother - Birthday Zodiac! ”
The Queen Mother hurriedly ordered someone to bring up the pastries in the food box.
In front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother took a closer look! Sure enough, those little pastries are lifelike zodiac signs!
"Queen Mother," a little Lori next to the Queen Mother pointed to one of the pastries and said, "Look, that tiger is bigger than the others!" It's so majestic! The Queen Mother took a look and found that the Zodiac Tiger was indeed standing majestically on top of the pastry, and even the pastry looked bigger than the others.
The Queen Mother thought that her zodiac was a tiger, and she thought that this was Luo Qingqian's purpose. Seeing that the zodiac tiger is slowly as above, majestic and majestic, there is a faint feeling of looking at the world!
Luo Qingqian didn't say anything, and carefully opened a large boxy box in Shicui's hand, and inside was an object that no one had ever seen.
Everyone looked curiously at this tower composed of two circles. There was actually an old man on crutches, with a wide forehead, and a red and glamorous longevity peach in one hand - it was the old man of the birthday star!
It's just that this birthday old man is not like a stone carving and woodcarving, but the color is milky white, and it looks very appetizing.
When the Queen Mother saw it, she was even more surprised: "Qingqian, what is this?" ”
Luo Qing smiled lightly and said, "
Looking at the noble girl below, seeing the Queen Mother looking at the food box, the smile on her face deepened, and she couldn't help but be curious, and one of the noble girls couldn't help but be curious: "These are all made by Miss Luo Er?" ”
Luo Qingqian smiled slightly and said, "Queen Mother, this is a birthday cake!" ”
"Cake?" A noble girl couldn't help but say, "This is edible?" ”
She pointed to the pink and cyan piping on the cake, puzzled.
Luo Qing said lightly: "Of course you can eat it!" ”
The Queen Mother had already sat up straight and ordered someone to bring the cake.
Luo Qingqian ordered: "The whole thing should be slow, don't break up." ”
As soon as the little eunuch heard this, he immediately became more cautious.
The Queen Mother carefully looked at the so-called cake she had seen for the first time, and there was a big birthday on it that was very beautifully written. And that layer of white milky stuff wafts out a faint milky aroma, which looks inexplicably appetizing.
The little Lori next to her had already looked straight at her, and the unique aroma of the cream made the two little girls involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva at the same time.
The Queen Mother listened very clearly, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You two little things, are you gluttonous?" ”
After all, the little girl was young, and she was not as afraid of the Queen Mother as others, so she quickly nodded and said, "Sister Luo said that this is an edible one!" But how do you eat such a big piece? ”
The Queen Mother also looked at Luo Qingqian inquiringly, and Luo Qingqian smiled and said, "You only need to cut it with a knife to eat, it's very simple!" ”
This will everyone has seen Luo Qingqian's gift to the Queen Mother, although there are two pieces, which are also very novel, but they are indeed things to eat, and everyone can't help but be a little disappointed.
Among them, the noble lady who was sitting not far from the Queen Mother's head suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss Luo, what are you doing here?" The gift to the Queen Mother is either a pastry or a cake! Although these folk pastries look novel, the Queen Mother is noble, and these casually bought pastries are not suitable for the Queen Mother as a congratulatory gift, right!? ”
Luo Qing looked at the speaker, this woman was dressed in a peach-pink palace dress, with willow leaf curved eyebrows, apricot eyes and pink cheeks, and a cherry mouth. Although the appearance is not top-notch, it is also very outstanding. It is Chen Shangshu's daughter-Chen Kerong.
I have an impression of this woman because when Luo Qingqian was on the white cat, she was often seen coming to the palace with her mother to greet the Queen Mother.
The queen mother is in the harem, in addition to taking care of Luo Qingqian, it can be said that she does not have much preference for officials and nobles, and the Chen family seems to know this, so she relies on the fact that there is a daughter in the palace who thinks that the daughter of the Chen family is there, and often uses the excuse of entering the palace to ask the queen mother for peace.
Zhao Luo Qingqian's idea is that the sense of existence is coming!
However, this wave of operations was very useful for the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother was indeed more and more impressed by her.
However, Luo Qingqian didn't have a good impression of her. Because when she was a white cat herself, Chen Kerong liked her very much in front of the Queen Mother, but when she hugged her, she pinched her back with her nails.
This woman is also used to the two faces of people in front of her and behind her!
Seeing Luo Qingqian once again attracting the attention of the Queen Mother today, she couldn't help but sneer.
In her opinion, Luo Qingqian, an embarrassing concubine of the Luo family, must have a limited amount of silver in her hands, and she will definitely not be able to give a heavy gift to the Queen Mother. She said that these foods were ordinary, just to make the Queen Mother feel dissatisfied.
Luo Qingqian had already heard what she meant, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said slowly: "How can these be bought on the market?" ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Luo Qingqian, and finally had a trace of curiosity in her eyes, and said, "Could it be that this writing was made by Qingqian herself?" ”
Luo Qingqian nodded at Empress Dowager Zuo Shi Li and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, these foods are indeed made by Qingqian herself!" You can't buy it on the market. ”
Chen Kerong pursed her lips slightly, and said softly: "Even if you do it yourself, it's just writing food and giving it to the Queen Mother as a gift, but it's a bit unacceptable!" ”
