Chapter 69: [Palace Banquet, Hundred Birds and Phoenix] (15)
Li Wei, the squire of the military department, respectfully held a pair of jeweled sachets and opened the curtain of today's gift-giving.
Every year on the queen's birthday, officials of all sizes will send countless treasures to please the queen's mother, and today is no exception.
Li Wei contributed a gift, and by the way, he also relieved the queen's embarrassing siege, so the queen did not hesitate to praise him with a bright smile, and then he was rewarded again.
Every year, although the officials will contribute a lot of treasures, but the queen's rewards will not be less, and some people just contribute a more creative new gadget, which can also make the queen mother reward a rich gift list.
Therefore, every year at this time, almost the whole country is in a treasure hunt.
After Li Wei's sachet, the officials began to cross the sea with eight immortals, each showing their magical powers, one by one the treasures were brought up, and one by one the strange treasures were sent out, as if it was a miscellaneous meeting, strange and strange, everything.
The official department Shangshu just sent a singing eagle gong bird, the military department Shangshu sent a pair of flightless colored sparrows, the commander of Jiumen just sent a box of gardenias with a strange fragrance, and the general of the Ping Kingdom sent a crystal ice stone that can suck blood.
The variety of tricks is amazing.
The eldest lady took out the ancestral treasure box she brought with her with a little excitement, and slowly walked towards the queen.
Although the eldest lady was a little puzzled about her daughter's performance, she was Mrs. Zhenguohou, and she didn't ask these questions, but when she saw that her daughter annoyed the queen, she also wanted to take this opportunity to redeem a little of the queen's opinion of her mother and daughter.
"The queen mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, and the concubine has an ancestral legendary treasure, which is sent to the queen mother today, and may the queen mother be blessed like the East China Sea, and live longer than the South Mountain......"
The queen looked at the eldest lady who was bowing respectfully below, and sneered in her heart.
Eighteen years ago, it was this woman who almost robbed her of the queen's position, although she did not succeed, but the queen's hatred for her did not diminish at all, because to this day, the emperor still misses her.
Looking at the antique box in the eldest lady's hand, the queen opened her mouth lightly.
"Mrs. Hou has a heart, I don't know what the treasure passed down from the ancestors is?"
The eldest lady said nervously: "The ancestors handed it down, and the concubines don't know what it is." ”
The queen frowned, but before she could speak, Bai Xin suddenly cut off and said: "The ancestral treasure must be of great value, Gonggong Hong, accept it for the queen!" ”
The queen's brows furrowed even tighter, and she snorted coldly: "The mourning family is very curious, open it and see what it is." ”
The second lady and the others also heard some taste, and also agreed: "Yes, we are all very curious about the treasure handed down by my sister's ancestors, open it and let us open our eyes." ”
The eldest lady's face was slightly red, with a hint of charm.
"Since the queen wants to see it with everyone, the concubine will be opened."
With the antique sandalwood box was opened, a yellowed scroll was displayed in front of everyone's eyes, just looking at the color of the cangmulberry, everyone's hearts were full of expectations, is it what ancient calligraphy and painting? Or is it a painting of the Holy Relics?
Taking out the yellowed picture scroll, the eldest lady slowly unfolded, and her eyes were full of anticipation. It's just that when the picture scroll unfolds little by little, what is revealed in front of everyone's eyes is a yellowish patch that is the same on the outside and on the inside.
