Chapter 1315: Competition
"I heard that it was according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, and it has already gotten better, she happened to come before you came, and I also agreed to this matter."
Yun Jinglan bit her lower lip, she didn't say anything she wanted to say, she planned to discuss with Mrs. Ning about Jialian at this birthday banquet, and naturally hoped that Concubine Ming could host this matter, so as to create some opportunities for her, but now because of Xiao Qi's matter, Concubine Ming was not in the mood to apply to Lou Xiao, so she took the initiative to come, but what she didn't expect was that she was still late.
She also completely underestimated Queen Wang's brazenness, after all, she was the one who said that she was unwell and needed Xiao Qi to take care of her, and now she was the one who had to take the initiative to take on the birthday banquet, that is, Lou Xiao was just good at talking, if she was replaced by Emperor Chengqi, I am afraid it would not be easy to fool.
Seeing that she was silent, Lou Xiao was a little worried, Yun Jinglan was already at odds with the queen, if she didn't come to attend her birthday because of this matter, he would be unhappy, "What's wrong with Lan'er?" ”
She glanced at Lou Xiao weakly, what else could she do? Isn't she just not happy that the queen will take care of this? But it was inconvenient for her to say these words, so she had to hold back in her heart and make herself uncomfortable.
"I know that there is some misunderstanding between you and the queen, but after all, the queen is still the queen who cooks the birthday in previous years, and she has a lot of experience in this area, and ordinary people can't compare to you, you ...... Don't worry too much. As he said this, he looked at Yun's shocked face.
"Erchen understands that it is naturally best for this matter to be handled by the queen." She nodded, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything, for the queen, Lou Xiao has already broken his trust once, and he naturally can't break his trust a second time now, I just hope that on her birthday, this queen will not come to make trouble.
Coming out of Lou Xiao's Palace, Yun Jinglan felt that the whole sky was gray.
Then the queen began to prepare for her birthday, she and Xiao Qi naturally did not forget to prepare a birthday gift for Lou Xiao, this year, Lou Xiao has also loved her, and it made Yun Jinglan experience the long-lost family affection, in addition to finding a way to see Mrs. Ning on the Wanshou Festival, she also wants to let Lou Xiao have a happy and perfect birthday, this matter is actually a benefit for the queen to do, since it is her own business, presumably she will not make any small moves on her birthday, right?
On the contrary, Queen Wang needs to be more optimistic about herself, so as not to make trouble and make her unable to get off the stage.
Yun Jinglan and Xiao Qi worked together to carve a piece of sandalwood into a dragon and plan to give it to Lou Xiao, although the craftsmanship of the two is not very good, but it is better than the heart, Lou Xiao is the king of Zhongzhou, what kind of expensive gifts do you want, anything that can be bought with money is not qualified for Yun Jinglan, this piece of sandalwood soaked in potion in advance, put it on the bedside can also play a calming role, Lou Xiao is busy with government affairs on weekdays, and he always can't sleep at night.
But the difficulty is that the carving of the two is so bad, they have to ask the master to help, they led the two carpentry masters in the courtyard to prepare gifts, Lu Xiaoyuan read in the room, occasionally knock the book back and come over to see how they are doing, and then turn back to continue reading.
When the gifts were ready, the competition for the Longevity Festival also kicked off, during which Chu Muhan would occasionally enter the palace to take a look, seeing that she was wholeheartedly preparing gifts for Lou Xiao, and no one else came to disturb him, he was also relieved, and then went out of the palace to inquire about the truth of the events of the year with several uncles of the Shen family.
The audition for the Halloween competition has always been a mixed eye, Yun Jinglan is not interested, and Xiao Qi packed the carved dragon in the side hall together, ready to send it over when the palace banquet is due, but when he said how to send it over, Xiao Qi twisted up, Yun Jinglan rarely saw her have such a look, and naturally felt curious, "What's wrong with you?" Shy in front of so many people? ”
The word shy has never existed in the life creed of her little seventh princess, she just doesn't want to face Queen Wang, "I don't want to go to the birthday banquet, okay?" Sister Lan, wouldn't it be nice for you to send it alone? ”
Yun Jinglan looked at her strangely, "What's wrong?" You are very energetic when making gifts, but you don't go when it's so lively? ”
"However, the queen mother will also come to the birthday banquet, I ...... I don't really want to go, can I ......" She stirred her sleeves and was a little embarrassed, and Yun Jinglan suddenly realized, has Xiao Qi Hidden Queen already hiding to this point? But after all, it is Lou Xiao's birthday, if she doesn't participate, Lou Xiao must be very disappointed, and that is also an opportunity for Concubine Ming to meet her openly, doesn't Xiao Qi want to meet Concubine Ming?
She bent down and leaned closer to her, "Father must also want you to go to the birthday banquet, do you want to see Father disappointed?" ”
Xiao Qi shook her head, she knew that Lou Xiao loved her, and she didn't want to see Lou Xiao disappointed, but ...... Thinking about the way the queen insisted on coming and taking her away that day, she felt a little trembling, and she didn't dare.
"And what about your mother? She will definitely attend the birthday banquet, and you will be able to see her then, don't you want to see your mother, Xiaoqi? ”
Speaking of Concubine Ming, she raised her head, her eyes were soaked with tears, she hadn't met Concubine Ming for a long time, Xiao Qi naturally wanted to see her, "I also want to see my mother, but if I go, won't the queen embarrass my mother?" ”
Yun Jinglan stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder, "The queen's purpose is your mother, if you don't go, your mother will be sad, and the queen will be even happier, don't worry, since my father promised us that we will not pass you on to the queen again, even if she wants to make it bad, then there is also a father to watch, isn't it?" Is it because we are afraid that we will be turtles with shrunken heads for the rest of our lives? ”
Why doesn't she want to be a turtle? Xiao Qi wiped her eyes, and seeing that she was slightly loose, Lu Xiaoyuan also hurriedly came over, "And isn't there a lot of delicious food in the palace banquet?" Xiao Qi has stayed in the side hall these days and has never been anywhere, and everyone has lost weight. ”
Sure enough, compared to his mother, delicious food is more important, hearing Lu Xiaoyuan say this, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and both of them were a little speechless, for foodies, all problems are nothing.
"Okay then...... Let's go together then, if you meet the queen, Sister Lan, you must hold me so as not to be caught by her." ”
