Chapter 108: The birthday gift is outstanding and pleasing to people
Lu Xueyi's behavior was incompatible with others, but it made the emperor and queen extremely happy.
The two princesses born to the queen are both well-behaved and smart, and the emperor likes them from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Xueyi's congratulatory gift went to the two princesses, this intention was just right, lining the hearts of the emperor and the queen.
Lu Xueyi presented the jade box in her hand without hurry, and the steward next to her took the jade box, opened it and carefully served it to the emperor.
I saw that there were two gold-carved hairpins in the box, one golden and the other red.
The pillar of the hairpin is engraved with two lifelike phoenixes and dragons, which makes it a bit extravagant.
And the head of the hairpin is actually woven with precious canary silk and inlaid with even clear pearls.
The whole hairpin exudes brilliance, which makes people look like they can't put it down.
The queen mother already liked it at first sight, and even had the idea of wanting to stay for herself.
Lu Xueyi knew that the queen would also like this car, so she said with a smile: "Queen mother, I heard that this pair of hairpins is called the Nine Jade Phoenix Hairpin and the Nine Jade Dragon Hairpin, which is an extremely rare pair of hairpins. ”
It is rumored that if this kind of hairpin is worn by underage girls, it may affect their future marriage. The courtiers dared to ask for instructions, this pair of hairpins could not be buried, can you ask the queen to wear them temporarily, and then transfer them to them when the two princesses are adults, so as to talk about the courtiers' hearts. Lu Xueyi's words were reasonable, and she became the right appetite for the queen's mother, which naturally made the queen's mother look at her differently.
The eldest daughter of Master Lu's daughter is handsome and cute, and the words that come out of this small mouth are also comfortable.
Seeing that the queen was in a very good mood, the emperor immediately said: "This is the first time I have seen such a thoughtful woman, and it is really commendable that you have such insight at a young age." ”
"Thank you for the emperor's praise, the courtiers are just doing their best to share the worries of the emperor and the queen." Lu Xueyi hurriedly saluted and replied.
Lu Xueyi respectfully bowed and retreated, followed by Lu Xueling.
Lu Xueyi returned to her seat and fell into deep thought, all the congratulatory gifts she had prepared today were all suggestions from Mr. Qu Yuan.
But looking at the expressions of the emperor and the queen just now, I knew that that person should be extremely fond of these things.
Who is Mr. Qu Yuan? What is the relationship with the emperor and the queen? Why can you say the beloved things of the emperor and queen in one bite, and why should you help yourself?
The more Lu Xueyi sat there, the more she thought about it, the more she looked slightly fat, with a small bulging face, and she was extremely cute in the eyes of others.
Lu Xueling got up nervously and saluted the queen and the emperor.
"The courtier Lu Xueling congratulates the emperor on his birthday and Tianqi, and he is blessed with good health." Lu Xueling cautiously shouted.
When she was about to go out, Aunt Xia repeatedly explained to her that there were many rules in the palace, so she should not talk too much and be cautious in her words and deeds, so as not to cause trouble.
Lu Xueling kept Aunt Xia's words firmly in her heart, and filtered every move in her heart several times before she dared to act.
Wu Yuzhu looked at Lu Xueling's demeanor, and couldn't help pouting, this second lady from the concubine is not as graceful as the eldest daughter, and it was really a mistake for Old Man Lu to take her out.
The emperor and the queen were already in high spirits at this time, and Lu Xueling's congratulatory words to him only made him bend the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded.
Lu Xueling saw that the emperor's expression was too majestic, and she was inevitably a little nervous.
"This is a wish of the courtiers, I hope the emperor and the queen can like it." Lu Xueling became more and more nervous, and the words she said were slightly trilled.
The congratulatory gift sent by Lu Xueling was a string of coral bracelets, and I don't know if it was because she was too nervous, so she actually handed the bracelet directly to the queen, and the emperor who was sitting on the side saw her behaving like this, and his face changed directly.
The emperor's birthday banquet, you handed the congratulatory gift to the queen's mother, this behavior is definitely a brainless act.
Lu Xueyi watched Lu Xueling behave like this, and suddenly felt that her sister was too stupid.
Wu Yuzhu looked at Lu Xueling's demeanor, a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she hadn't even had time to teach her a lesson, she had already sent herself in to death.
Concubine Yue sat quietly on the other side of the emperor, just looking up at Lu Xueyi from time to time, and seemed to be a little more interested in Lu Xueyi.
At such a big birthday banquet, under the gaze of hundreds of civil and military officials, Lu Xueling made such a gesture, which made everyone shake their heads and sigh slightly.
As soon as Master Lu saw Lu Xueling's demeanor, his face changed greatly, and he was just about to get up and intercede for Lu Xueling.
Suddenly, the queen's face changed, and she threw the box in her hand out in a rage, and smashed it on Lu Xueling's body impartially.
Lu Xueling stood there in a daze, not knowing what kind of reaction she should make for a while.
"Bold, to use such an inferior thing to play with this palace." The queen mother was really angry, so she could only shout angrily.
It turned out that the coral bracelet was not a rare and superior object, but an inferior object with flaws.
If the quality of the congratulatory gift cannot be compared with the royal status, then the person who gives the congratulatory gift is guilty of blaspheming the royal majesty.
Lu Xueling stood there with a dull face, bearing the anger of the queen's mother.
"Please also ask the queen to calm her anger, the little girl is ignorant and makes the queen angry, and Weichen will be carefully disciplined when she goes back." Master Lu hurriedly got up and risked his life to admonish, wanting to save his daughter's life.
The queen mother was angry, so angry that the item did not match her identity, not against anyone, and when she heard Master Lu say this, she couldn't attack again.
The emperor was originally very angry, but he didn't receive a congratulatory gift on his birthday, so he was naturally unhappy in his heart, but now he was not happy to see the queen mother receiving the congratulatory gift, and for some reason, his heart was also a lot more comfortable.
Master Lu interceded for Lu Xueling, and the emperor naturally wouldn't be too embarrassed, so he could only wave his hand and say, "Okay, there can't be a next time." ”
Master Zhu thanked him for his gratitude, and then hurriedly pulled Lu Xueling back.
Lu Xueling didn't realize until this time that the coral bracelet she was throwing on the ground was not an authentic rose red, but a hint of pink appeared on it.
It's no wonder that the queen is furious, the most authentic color of this coral bracelet is rose red, if pink appears on the rose red, it is the lowest inferior product, and the average official lady is not allowed to wear it, not to mention the queen's noble status.
Lu Xueyi and Aunt Qiao sat there quietly, ignoring Lu Xueling's demeanor.
The old lady sat next to the queen mother, looking at the incident that Lu Xueling had just provoked, and suddenly felt gloomy.
This girl is a girl, and she can't take it out anyway, the table. I thought that I would let her show up, so that I could have a few more choices when choosing a husband's house for her in the future.
Now it seems that I have overestimated this girl's IQ. It is estimated that the brain is not as good as half of Xueyi's.
Master Lu also felt that his face was gloomy, and he didn't want to deal with Lu Xueling anymore in the next banquet.
The incident that Lu Xueling had just caused made the atmosphere of the banquet drop to the freezing point, and even the emperor and queen were a little dignified.
At this moment, Prime Minister Wu suddenly stood up, bowed respectfully to the queen mother and the emperor, and said: "The emperor and the queen mother, the little girl heard that the emperor's birthday banquet is coming soon, and she started to practice a dance not long ago, and wants to dedicate it to the emperor and the queen mother here today." ”
When the emperor and queen heard this, they immediately came to their senses.
"Prime Minister Wu said this, I have to appreciate it." The emperor's mood was obviously much better, and he spoke.
Wu Yuzhu got her father's eyes, and hurriedly got up and went to the back to prepare.
Prime Minister Wu and the emperor and queen raised their glasses to toast, and between pushing the glasses and changing the lamps, the atmosphere slowly became lively again.
Lu Xueyi sat there with a boring face, feeling that the women in front of her who twisted her waist and swung her hips were too boring.
And these ministers who are holding wine glasses and talking nervously with a smile, this is really too difficult for themselves.
Soon, Wu Yuzhu changed her clothes backstage and appeared in front of the emperor and queen.
When Lu Xueyi saw Wu Yuzhu's outfit, she was stunned.
This outfit looks a little familiar, Lu Xueyi thought silently in her heart.
Wu Yuzhu has a pair of bare feet, two strings of bells hanging on her feet, and the skirt on her body is made of light yarn, and many layers of light yarn are covered on her body, giving people a feeling of fluttering fairy.
What amazed the civil and military officials the most was that Wu Yuzhu's face was covered with a light veil, and her arms and legs were only covered by a thin veil.
There is a string of bells hanging on his waist, and there are bells on his wrists, and even the hem of the scarf and the forehead of his head are full of bells, and these small bells will make a crisp ringing sound when Wu Yuzhu walks.
Wu Yuzhu just stood there quietly, giving people a dazzling feeling.
A flash of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, and even the queen curled the corners of her mouth with interest.
Everyone present, regardless of men or women, was staring at Wu Yuzhu's body.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and even Lu Xueyi can't help but admire, Wu Yuzhu's dress is very eye-catching.
A crisp and cheerful drum sounded, and Wu Yuzhu's footsteps gently beat the bell on the ground with the sound of the drum, and he also remembered a rhythmic sound with his movements.
This crisp and crisp fast rhythm makes everyone's heartbeat start to speed up.
The atmosphere of this huge banquet became more and more hot, and Wu Yuzhu exuded a charming light all over her body, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Mesmerizing music and dancing are always fleeting, and when you haven't recovered from that feeling of envy, maybe the show is over.
Wu Yuzhu stopped panting slightly, looked up at the emperor and the queen, and bowed respectfully.
