In and out of the words, the meaning revealed is nothing more than that she can have the opportunity to organize a birthday banquet for the queen mother, because the emperor gave her this right, and if she has any dissatisfaction, she will go to the emperor. Hot

Besides, she mentioned the Qiao family, the older concubines who came out of the palace, and knew that the emperor had specially given her Qiao Jingshu to the emperor who was still the seventh prince, and praised her for her good nature, smart and virtuous.

If any of them dared to question her today, it would be disrespectful to the emperor and a great sin.

Su Jingxi listened quietly on the side, silently appreciating in her heart.

Zong Zhengjin still didn't mean to speak, as if he didn't realize it.

The Queen Mother blocked her heart in one breath, knowing that the emperor was deliberately embarrassing her, she eased her breath and chuckled, "Look at what you said, it seems that the mourning family deliberately embarrassed you." ”

This sentence is a bit out of standard, which is equivalent to using identity to oppress people.

Qiao Jingshu didn't mind, she didn't intend to fight with the Queen Mother, so she smiled and said, "The concubine doesn't dare, the Queen Mother is always kind, and today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, so there will be no leisure to worry about juniors like the concubine." ”

Having said that, when you think about it, it's a bit ironic, but in simple terms, it's normal.

The Queen Mother has always liked to think about the problem deeply, and she realized that little meaning, and she was angry in her heart, but she couldn't come out, and her face was obviously not good.

"Since it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, the concubine has the courage to offer the gifts prepared by the concubine, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not dislike it," Concubine Shu achieved the goal she wanted, and she no longer dwelled on these aspects.

The Queen Mother had the steps she gave, and she went down, "What do you say, take it and take a look at it with the mourning family." ”

"The concubine is ugly," Concubine Shu got up and took a box from the hand of the palace maid behind her.

Walked two steps, stopped, opened the box, is a white jade thousand hands Guanyin statue, pure and flawless white jade carved with lifelike figures, left and right distribution of thousands of hands around, rare is the whole Buddha statue is only about an inch, but the eyebrows of Guanyin Bodhisattva are still depicted.

At first glance, you can see that this gift is worth a lot of money, and it is really a matter of thought.

On the other hand, the Queen Mother, even though the two had a small verbal dispute just now, there was still a state of appreciation on the Queen Mother's face at this time, which shows that there are two points of sincere liking.

"Yo, concubine, look, this Guanyin Bodhisattva is somewhat similar to the Queen Mother," Concubine Xian's eyes repeatedly shuttled between the faces of the Bodhisattva and the Queen Mother who were lying in the box, and finally said. complete works

As soon as Concubine Xian said this, others followed to see it, and Xu had a comparison of Concubine Xian, and everyone really felt that the more they looked at it, the more similar it became, so they echoed it.

"Okay, okay, you talk nonsense," the Queen Mother reprimanded, although her tone was harsh, but her eyes were full of smiles, and she was obviously not moved.

Others can naturally see that it should be with a smile.

With Shu Guifei's precedent, the others hurriedly took out the gifts they had carefully prepared and sent them out in order according to their grades.

Shu Guifei is followed by Concubine Xian, she sent a double-sided embroidered screen of longevity made by herself, although it is not valuable, but there is a mind, but look at this embroidery, you know that it took a long time to work, and it can not be completed in three or five months.

The Queen Mother naturally saw it, and looked at Concubine Xian's eyes with a little more warmth, "You have a heart." ”

She is old, and the things she has seen when she is young are innumerable and rare, and when she is older, she always cherishes these things with a heart.

What the virtuous concubine presented is a picture of longevity, and there are purses prepared by the concubines and the like at the bottom, which also shows the embroidery, so some of them can't take it.

Gift-giving is also a university question, and it is the most appropriate to give it properly, not the most expensive one.

What kind of gifts to send, there are all grades corresponding, first-level sends, and the low-level concubines in the back can't cross the front person, otherwise it will appear that the front person is not sincere enough and offends her.

Therefore, the lower the grade, the worse the gift is, of course, this is also related to their own family background.

The money is rich, such as Shu Guifei, who can give away a thousand-handed Guanyin jade statue with a large amount of money, and most of the weak silver money is a low-grade concubine who has no grace all year round, and what is sent is the heart.

The gifts were presented one by one, and soon it was Su Jingxi's turn.

The inlaid luodian red sandalwood peony tray holds the gold silk sea beast grape pattern satin box, the pattern is exquisitely carved, open only to see a blood-red jade bracelet, although the whole body is smooth and shiny, but for the queen mother, it is not very precious.

It's not very outstanding, but it's not rude either.

"Sister Zhen actually chose the same gift as her concubine," Concubine Xiang leaned over to take a look, then got up and said.

When everyone came back to their senses, they saw that Xiang Guifei took out an equally delicate jewelry box, which contained a bracelet with a whole body of jasper, with a bright color, and it was worth a lot at a glance.

"The Queen Mother, this is the warm jade specially found by the concubines, and it is the most nourishing to wear in winter," Xiang Guifei said with a smile.

When everyone heard it, they didn't expect it to be warm jade, but compared with the two, Su Jingxi's blood bracelet was a little worse.

"Nuan Yu is hard to find, Sister Xiang has a heart," Su Jingxi smiled, ignoring the gazes of others, and said.

The Queen Mother also nodded, "Yes, you have a heart, and the mourning family loves it very much." ”

"To be able to win the love of the Queen Mother, that is the blessing of this bracelet, and the concubines should not be praised," Xiang Guifei bowed and said.

Su Jingxi returned to her position, and it seems that Xiang Guifei's mind is also big.

Although it is said that on the birthday of the queen mother, these concubines only need to prepare a non-rude gift, but now that the queen has passed away, the concubines with thoughts are unwilling to stay in their own positions like this.

I want to be the person who is the mother of the world and ascend to the phoenix position, this is the goal of these women.

But seeing that the emperor just took Guan Ju Palace to heart, and there was no way, they naturally had to find another target, that is, the queen mother.

If the Queen Mother supports them, then they are much more sure.

Su Jingxi shook her head gently, obviously these women had forgotten who was the biggest master of the harem, who was the one who could give them glory and wealth, and who was their only reliance in this life.

Obviously, only the only man present.

Besides, the Queen Mother has her own granddaughter, so it is impossible to let go of her own bloodline, but to support an outsider.

When all the concubines have finished giving gifts and celebrating their birthdays, the banquet is also coming to an end.

"Your Majesty, government affairs can be busy" The Queen Mother put down the teacup, "If not"

"There are still many folds in the Zichen Hall that have not been approved, and I still need to be busy for a while," Zong Zhengjin didn't wait for the Queen Mother to finish speaking, and answered.

The Queen Mother chuckled, and didn't seem to pay attention to the emperor's interruption at all, "Since the emperor is busy with government affairs, let's go back to Zichen Hall first, there are still them here to accompany the mourning family, the emperor doesn't have to worry." ”

Zong Zhengjin nodded, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave first." ”

Zong Zhengjin got up, walked two steps, and suddenly turned around, as expected, he saw those eyes staring at his back tightly, with indescribable loneliness in his eyes, and hooked the corners of his mouth, "You come with me." ”

didn't wait for the Queen Mother to interject, but directly turned his head and said to the Queen Mother, "I think the Queen Mother won't mind, I've gotten used to her being around recently." ”

When it came to this, even if the Queen Mother didn't want to, she couldn't say anything, so she smiled reluctantly at the moment, "The mourning family won't mind, Zhen Xiu, you can serve the emperor well." ”

Everyone was inevitably a little angry when they heard this, Su Jingxi was obviously a pregnant woman, and she had no chance to serve the emperor, but even so, she didn't leave the opportunity to them, and it was in vain that they waited for so long.

If the queen is still there, she has the right to persuade the emperor to be wet with rain and dew, but now that the queen has been deposed and passed away, even if Concubine Shu has the right to go to the six palaces, she is not justifiably qualified to do such a thing.

The only one left is the Queen Mother, but her old man doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

The queen mother is really not worried, she has always wanted Zong Zhengjin to have an heir, so she has always acquiesced to the queen's approach, but she should not know.

Although she raised Zong Zhengjin as an adult and helped him ascend the throne, it was a helpless move, if there was a second choice, she would never choose him, the son who was a thorn in the side.

But even so, she has become the justifiable queen mother, which does not mean that she will really worry about his good and the continuation of his heirs.

If it is possible, she only has two hopes, one is that Shangguan Mei has his heir, and the child will ascend to the throne, and the other is that other women have children, and they will be raised in Shangguan Mei's name, and the child will also ascend to the throne.

But at the moment, compared with these two situations, the latter is more likely to be realized, after all, the three princes are still alive in the world, she only needs to think of a way to put the three princes under the name of Shangguan Mei.

If in the end, there is really no way, then it can only be in short, she must be the queen mother.

Su Jingxi saluted, "The concubine retired." ”

followed Zong Zhengjin and walked out, and it wasn't until he left the Taihe Hall that Su Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zong Zhengjin could sense her relaxation and teased, "You will be scared too"

Su Jingxi pursed her lips, "Of course, there are many things that the concubine is afraid of," Seeing that he was about to go to the dragon, he pulled his arm, "How is the emperor's matter?"

"What's wrong" Zong Zhengjin stopped and stood.

Su Jingxi tugged on half of his arm, "The emperor will accompany his concubines for a walk, stay in Guanju Palace every day, and his body is about to grow mold." ”

Zong Zhengjin raised his eyebrows, agreed without the slightest hesitation, waved his hand to signal Su Shunxian and the others to stay away, and led her slowly towards Zichen Palace, fortunately, the distance was not very far, and it was good to move around her body a lot.

Su Jingxi has not been out of the palace gate for a long time, although it is the same four vermilion walls, but the structure is different, which can be regarded as a bit fresh.
