Prequel: Chapter 8: Birthday Gifts
"It's your fault, I didn't come back in time, so you didn't stop my sister." Gan Xinyi laughed and made a joke.
Unexpectedly, Yin Zijue took it seriously, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Qing'er's voice: "Your Royal Highness, the prince of my family invites you to come over, she has something to discuss with you." ”
Gan Shunhua answered and went to the inner room, and at the end he asked his subordinates to scoop up the hosta.
Gan Shunhua walked into the inner room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and saw Gan Xinyi, who was pale and weak, and her heart softened, and helped her pick up the corners of the quilt to prevent her from getting up.
"Sister, I'm fine." Gan Shunhua twisted a handkerchief and coughed lightly, and said worriedly: "I've been away for a few days, I don't know how my sister is doing, have you applied medicine well?" Is the wound healed? ”
After speaking, he looked at it carefully and nodded: "It's already scabbed, and it doesn't seem to be long before it recovers." ”
Gan Shunhua's heart warmed after hearing these words, and she slapped her lightly in the tone of an adult teaching a child: "You are also ignorant, what is so important, you let you go to fish without regard for your own life." You won't be allowed next time, you know? If you don't feel sorry for yourself, I'm still sorry. ”
Gan Xinyi smiled sweetly, said yes, and then hesitated: "I shouldn't have bothered my sister, but I ......"
"What happened to Jiangnan?" Gan Xinyi felt his left eyelid jump and blurted out.
"That's not it, things in Jiangnan are going well, then Luo Min should be in the Zhuangzi under the Duke of Xiao Guo Mansion for the time being, and he can return to Jiangnan after a while, and it is not impossible to change his name and identity. But Sister Gong can give an account to the mother queen. ”
"Really?" Gan Shunhua was overjoyed in his heart, as if a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and his mood got better unexpectedly, and he even spoke much easier. But when I thought about it, my heart immediately sank, if it wasn't for the incident in Jiangnan, what would it be?
"Sister, I'm ......" Gan Xinyi's little face somehow turned a little whiter.
"Say something!"
"The mother's birthday is the day after tomorrow, originally I prepared the blood jade of Fengshan as a gift for the mother's birthday." Gan Xinyi seemed to feel a little guilty: "It is well known that the mother emperor likes blood jade, and that blood jade is very rare, and I finally got a piece to make a gift for the mother emperor, but the result is ......"
"What happened?" Gan Shunhua seemed to be more anxious than she and asked.
"The result...... Broken...... Shattered. Gan Xinyi cried like a child, and he looked very pitiful.
"It's all my fault, I didn't put it away." Gan Xinyi snorted.
"Lies!" Gan Shunhua frowned: "You are not the kind of person who is rough and benzene, besides, it is a gift from the mother emperor, how can it be difficult to accept it?" ”
"It was King Qin who did it, Your Highness the Princess." Qing'er walked in from outside the door, and Gan Shunhua's face sank.
"Your Royal Highness, my Royal Highness has a weak temperament, and has been bullied by His Highness since he was a child, and every time I want to tell you or Your Majesty, but My Highness always says forget it, so as not to hurt the harmony between sisters." Qing'er was indignant: "Yesterday, King Qin secretly came to my Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness took the risk to take her in, not only did she thank her, but she also ...... is also disrespectful. ”
"Qing'er." Gan Xinyi scolded: "Don't retreat quickly." ”
"Let her speak." Gan Shunhua is colorful.
"King Qin said that my prince has a human face and a beast's heart, and it seems to be the dog next to His Royal Highness, but in fact, His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness's dog." After Qing'er finished speaking, she glanced at Gan Shunhua, who had a gloomy face, and knelt down in a hurry: "Your Royal Highness, Qing'er is offended." But ......"
"Go on." Gan Shunhua regained his expression and made a gesture.
"Yes." Qing'er continued: "My Royal Highness can't stand your abuse the most, and I can't stand the unreasonable framing of myself, so I can't look at her and say a few words to her, but she pushed my Royal Highness, and dropped the congratulatory gift that His Highness just got back recently, and warned My Highness not to say it." ”
When Qing'er said this, she wiped the tears that had just flowed out, and seemed to be helpless: "What can my Highness do, I can only endure it, besides, My Highness is a general, and he still has half of the army in his hands." ”
"Hmph." Gan Shunhua sneered: "Half of the army, what is she to be, this Moon Country is still the Moon Kingdom of the Mother Emperor, she beats and slanders the prince, abuses the princess, does she want to rebel?" ”
"It's nothing, sister, the top priority is the mother's gift!" Gan Xinyi's face was anxious: "Now is not the time to turn his face with King Qin. The point is, a few days ago, I also revealed to the mother emperor that I was going to give her blood jade, and on that day, the major elders of the sect were there, this ......"
"This is not easy to do, and changing gifts temporarily will only lose the face of the mother." Gan Shunhua pondered deeply, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind: "I'll give you my congratulatory gift!" Before Gan Xinyi could say anything, Gan Shunhua got up and held Gan Xinyi's hand.
"It's a coincidence, I also prepare blood jade. A few months ago, "Gan Shunhua, who was found in North China, went out after speaking, and after a while, he came in with a box and handed the box to Gan Xinyi.
"That sister's congratulatory gift......" Gan Shunhua hesitantly took the box: "The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the mother, does my sister think of any new gifts?" ”
Gan Shunhua didn't speak, just remained silent.
"This is to give it away, naturally, to do what it likes." Gan Xinyi pondered: "This blood jade is rare, and it is naturally impossible to find it in the short term, but the mother emperor is only interested in rare treasures, and she can't look down on ordinary things." ”
"The palace of the mother emperor seems to be full of rare treasures, and even the most ordinary wooden tables and chairs are agarwood." Gan Shunhua was amazed, and suddenly stopped: "No, there is something in the Mother Emperor's Palace that is not rare. ”
"The painting?" Gan Xinyi continued, and excitedly gave Gan Shunhua an idea: "The material of the painting is very ordinary rice paper, it is indeed the treasure of the mother emperor's heart, others dare not touch it, it is always hung up and put away, I don't know what the mother queen means." But I think you can give a picture to the mother queen, and it can be regarded as a matter of favor. ”
"I don't dare, the man who painted the painting is a man, he must have an entanglement with the mother, I casually painted it and gave it to the mother, if the mother is angry, I will suffer."
"It seems that my sister doesn't know that the painting that the mother often hangs on the wall is not the original painting." Gan Xinyi explained: "In the early years, I heard my father say that this painting was a painting depicted by Master Zhang, and the original painting was put away by the mother. This master can draw, and Her Royal Highness has nothing to draw. Besides, I don't think the people in this painting have any entanglements with the mother. ”
"What do you mean by that? Is there any entanglement that can be seen? ”
"The sister of the person in this painting may not have seen it, but Nuo Jun has seen it! My father told me that that person was the emperor of the Star Kingdom, Qianyuan. Maybe the mother just admired this person as a man as the emperor, and deliberately painted him and hung it on the wall to inspire himself not to be worse than a man? Gan Xinyi chuckled.
Is that so? Gan Shunhua now has unconditional trust in Gan Xinyi, and for her request, it is 10,000 promises.
"Alright then!"
"My sister's calligraphy and painting are the best among the princes and princesses, and I should be able to finish them in a whole day tomorrow!" Gan Xinyi asked.
"Hmm."
"Thank you sister for helping me solve this matter, I'll go back first, so I won't disturb my sister's painting." Gan Xinyi immediately got out of bed, asked Sang'er to help her walk a few steps, and coughed.
"You're not okay yet, why don't you rest here for the night! It's never too late to go back tomorrow!. Gan Shunhua looked at her worriedly.
"I've been here for a few days, and the affairs in the house haven't been dealt with yet, so I have to rush back, as for the wind and cold, it's not in the way." Gan Xinyi smiled, and said another sentence before leaving: "The congratulatory gift is important, my sister's body is also important, you must take good care of the injury, the wound on this face has grown new flesh, you can't give up your efforts!" ”
Gan Shunhua smiled and sent Gan Xinyi to the palace before turning back, and now seeing that she was injured in her own mansion, she was even more upset, and she concentrated on work in the afternoon, did not eat, and vowed to finish the painting. Although this is a birthday gift from himself to the mother emperor, with Gan Xinyi's wishes, the meaning is very different.
