The queen looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, but soon, a trace of silent disappointment passed in her eyes.

I saw that the Queen Mother's hands that were a little loose but still white and still beautiful, and still loved the beauty of the red Kodan, did not wear the precious Dongzhu gold ring on her fingers.

Instead, after taking it in his hand and looking at it carefully, he slowly put it back into the box with elegant movements, and gently dropped the gilt buckle of the wooden box, and hid it in the ebony box together with the soft glow.

The lid of the wooden box had just been closed, and the queen's smiling words had been handed over with a fragrant tea presented by each of the two palace maids.

"Mother, can you taste these two teas, do they taste good? The left hand is the big red robe from Wuyi Xingong, Fujian, a few days ago, the emperor rewarded the concubine with a small jar, and the concubine tasted it, and it tasted good. I haven't been willing to eat it, so I specially kept it for you and wanted you to taste it. Now that the autumn breeze is getting tighter, drinking some black tea can warm the stomach. ”

"The one on the right is the Yunnan Pu'er that you are used to drinking, and it was only sent to Beijing a few days ago. These two teas, if you are okay, when I go back, I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a special trip for you to come back. In this way, when you and your sons gossip about homely things in winter, the two most important kinds of tea and hand stoves are finally done in advance for the queen mother. Do you think it's okay? ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, took a sip of each of the two fragrant teas at hand, raised her eyes and said, "Well, the taste is not bad." Then there is Queen Law. ”

The queen smiled and said, "If the queen mother likes it, the sons can also rest assured that they will send someone to do it." ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother's eyes were shining from her, she turned slightly to Concubine De's side, and said with a busy smile: "Sister Concubine De, I heard that you also put a lot of effort into giving your mother a generous gift in advance, so it's better to offer it at this time, let us also appreciate it together." ”

Concubine De nodded slightly at the queen sitting across from her, and said with a shallow smile: "Okay." The concubine should be benevolent and sacrifice her ugliness in public. ”

After saying that, he stood up, straightened his temples, and held a delicate brocade box, Shi Shiran stepped forward, blessed the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, it's really a coincidence." A few days ago, the concubine also sent someone to find a pair of Dongzhu from the Ussuri River, and the special craftsman made a pair of earrings. Now, I just made a pair of Dongzhu rings with the queen's filial piety to you, and I also ask your old man to take a look at it, help the concubine check it, and see if it can enter your old man's eyes. ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and nodded.

Princess Wen Xian walked in front of Concubine Eniang, the corners of her mouth curved into a small boat, quietly squeezed her eyes at Concubine De, reached out to take the brocade box, and gently placed it in front of the Queen Mother.

Concubine De's gaze followed her daughter's shadow, and in the crisp sound of a silver bell, she happily returned to the queen mother, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

This girl.

The Queen Mother first looked at the embroidered pattern on the brocade box, and then smiled and said, "Concubine De has a heart." ”

It turns out that the embroidery on this brocade box is not the common dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, or happy branches, but a childish child with a bun in the sky, holding a huge peach in his hand, smiling and chanting to the kind old birthday star in front of him to offer treasure to the birthday picture.

A small picture reminded the Queen Mother of the scene when the little Wen Xian left her mother for the first time and came to her side to babble.

At that time, Xiao Wenxian was still dressed in baby fat and looked very cute. This child is not born by nature, has a very lively temperament, is very clever and delicate, careful and caring, and has been very pleasing to her since he was a child.

Now, Wen Xian has grown to such a cardamom age, and she looks at it day by day, this child is not good in terms of appearance or temperament, and it is quite similar to when she was young, so she adds an extra layer of pity and love to her eyes.

At this time, when I saw the childish birthday picture on the brocade box, I couldn't help but raise my eyes and glanced at Princess Wen Xian who was standing aside.

Princess Wen Xian saw it, and also turned her head to smile at the Queen Mother, leaned down and gently opened the brocade box, and carefully held a pair of Dongzhu earrings that shined in the sun on the palm of her hand and presented them to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took it with a smile, took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, only to see the pair of earrings in her hand, on a pair of bright gold carved entwined branches and lotus pattern bottom support, each inlaid with three bright East Pearls the size of a cat's eye.

And these six East Pearls are full, dignified in texture, atmospheric in shape, under the illumination of the sun, each of them is like a pearl in the sky, under the reflection of the light, emitting a pure and warm light like the moonlight.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Isn't this the kind of night pearl that can be used as a wall lamp in the dark night?

Not to mention so many big and beautiful East Pearls.

This is a priceless treasure!

Even the queen, who saw countless treasures, couldn't help but feel a slight chill in her heart. I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have never seen so many big and beautiful East Pearls. She had to spend a lot of effort and blood to get it. The Dongzhu ring that he just honored the Queen Mother was already a treasure in the world. However, the pair of Dongzhu earrings presented by Concubine De now cannot be compared.

However, in the face of powerless things, in addition to watching coldly and facing it calmly, no matter how difficult it is, it is only to increase the chagrin. Therefore, under the pretended joy and envy of the queen, she only secretly cast a very shallow glance at Concubine De, and did not say anything.

Princess Wen Xian saw that the Queen Mother held this pair of earrings in her hand, and appreciated them more carefully than usual, as if she couldn't put it down a little, and she looked a little thoughtful, so she couldn't help but take a step forward, smiled and whispered in her grandmother's ear: "Imperial grandmother, how beautiful these earrings are, Wen Xian will help you put them on now?" ”

The Queen Mother turned to the side slightly, revealing a soft light under her eyes, and looked at Wen Xian kindly: "Good boy, let's go back next time." The pair that the mourning family is wearing now, don't look at the prestige of the pair before the eyes, but it has been worn for many years, and the mourning family has been used to wearing it. ”

After hearing this, Princess Wen Xian did not welcome the earrings because they were offered by her mother-in-law, but smiled heartily and said, "Okay." How good the imperial grandmother thinks, Wen Xian thinks how good! Anyway, in Wen Xian's heart, no matter what the imperial grandmother wears, she is the best-looking! ”

The Queen Mother knew that Wen Xian said these words, and she was sincerely different from others, and at this time, she couldn't help but reach out and hug Wen Xian closer, and said with all kinds of love: "The little obedient of the mourning family, but it is really Yuqing Xuanyuan, who has been passed down from dragon to dragon, and his heart and mind are in the same vein as your imperial grandmother....."

Looking at the delicate and lovely little Wen Xian in front of her, the Queen Mother couldn't help but want to praise a few more words, but she heard that outside the court downstairs, the deacon and eunuch hurriedly sang and said, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

With that sound like a sound, singing loudly from far and near, a sound of footsteps falling heavily on the ladder, followed by the sound of the eunuch singing, followed upstairs.

When the Queen Mother heard this voice, she couldn't help but smile contentedly on her face, and smiled at Princess Wenxian beside her: "You, the emperor Ama, are also a handful of old people, why don't you know, this is a little slower under your feet......"

After that, he smiled at the staircase with satisfaction, and hoped infinitely that the emperor with his footsteps would come to his approach sooner.
