The Queen Mother's birthday was held half a month later, and because of the disaster, she didn't make a big deal of it, but all the people in the court still came to celebrate her birthday with their wives and daughters, and there was no chance for a small minion like Yunqing to participate.

The banquet scene was very lively, but because of the disaster, everyone who had a little heart did not dare to dress up too luxuriously, and the gifts given by everyone were also after some consideration, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied.

This person is old, and he doesn't care about any pomp and circumstance, gifts, as long as the country is rich and strong, and the children and grandchildren are full, the queen mother has nothing else to ask for.

It's a pity that the emperor's life is not good, and the heirs under his knees are meager, and her favorite Cheng'er is gone. Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but feel sad.

After three rounds of drinking, the song and dance retreated, and the emperor suddenly said: "Mother, today is your 80th birthday, your son is not filial, because of the earthquake, I can't do it for you, but my son has a birthday gift for you, you absolutely like it." ”

"Oh?

His Majesty smiled: "Cheng'er, come out!"

As soon as the words fell, Rong Cheng, who was dressed in cloth, suddenly walked in from outside, and in the shocked and unbelieving eyes of everyone, he came to the Queen Mother and saluted: "Grandson, congratulations to grandma on her seventieth birthday, I wish grandma a long and blessed life." ”

Everyone: "......"

Everyone present was silent for a long time, but Liu Yan was the first to come back to his senses, and Liu Yan's eyes instantly became hot.

"Brother Prince!!"

Rong Cheng didn't pay attention to her voice, but it made the others come back to their senses.

"His Royal Highness the Prince?!It's really His Royal Highness the Prince!!"

Rong Cheng's former henchmen, led by Yun Shangshu, were all speechless with excitement. As for those who rebelled and followed the eldest prince, their moods were mixed.

Prince Rong and Concubine Yue's faces were so black that they could hardly be seen, and Prince Rong didn't know how much stamina he had used, so he forced a smile and said: "I really can't imagine that the prince is still alive, when will he return to the palace, why can't he say it as a brother?"

"I heard that the imperial brother has been working very hard for the country and the people recently, and this palace is really embarrassed to spare you, besides, this way can you give grandma and the imperial brother a surprise, isn't it?" Rong Cheng said, noticing Yun Yi next to Prince Rong's seat, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the imperial brothers are married." ”

"Hehe, it's just a concubine. ”

"This palace looks a little familiar, this is the fourth lady of Yunfu?"

"Exactly. ”

After a few pleasantries, the two returned to their seats. The Queen Mother stepped forward with red eyes, helped Rong Cheng up, and said, "Cheng'er, is it really you, are you still alive?"

"Yes, my grandson is still alive. ”

"Then why don't you go back to the palace early! The mourning family and your father are unable to sleep and eat because of you, do you know you!!"

"My grandson is not filial, and I have encountered some things, and I will slowly talk to you about these things. ”

"Good. The Queen Mother didn't bother with these, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, come, sit next to the mourning family." ”

After Rong Cheng helped the Queen Mother to sit down, all the ministers who came back to their senses congratulated one after another, and many of the female dependents aroused other thoughts.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Liu Yan's body, and said with a smile: "Cheng'er, during the time you have been missing, Yan'er is worried, look at that child, the whole person has lost weight." ”

The Queen Mother spoke, and Rong Cheng reluctantly glanced at Liu Yan.

He looks quite fat, but he didn't say this, he would only speak unscrupulously in front of Yun Qing, but he said lukewarmly to Liu Yan: "Cousin Lao is worried." ”

"Brother Prince, it's okay, it's not in vain, I often burn incense for you to the Bodhisattva, begging you to be safe. Liu Yan said as she wiped a handful of tears, which was so sincere and moving.

Rong Cheng didn't bother to take care of her directly, and said that he could return safe and sound because Yun Qing saved her, what did it matter for her to worship the Bodhisattva? If it was useful to worship the Bodhisattva, he would burn incense and worship the Buddha every day in the future, so that Yun Qing would marry him as soon as possible and become the crown princess!

Thinking of this, Rong Cheng's eyes swept around the banquet, and when he saw that Yunshu and Yunyi were here, he said with a smile: "It seems that the eldest lady of Yunfu is marrying Dugu Yi?" No, I heard that you are now a general, you should be called General Dugu, this palace has not come back for a long time, and the change is really big." ”

Dugu Yi laughed twice, and his face was a little ugly.

Yun Shangshu, who was not far away, tried to explain something, but he wanted to say nothing, his two daughters married Prince Rong and Dugu Yi, which were beyond his control, and he was only worried that His Highness would be suspicious of him.

Fortunately, Rong Cheng seemed to see Yun Shangshu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yun Shangshu has always been conscientious, why hasn't he seen a half-official position?"

Yun Shangshu immediately came out to say: "The minister only wants to do his best for His Majesty, and does not want to be promoted to a knight." ”

Someone on the side quipped: "Master Shangshu is in a high position, and his daughters are more promising than the other, if he is promoted to a knighthood, we people will die of red-eyed at the beginning!"

"Huh......" Another said: "You just have to see the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family and the remaining two of the four thousand gold, and our daughter can't compare!"

This is definitely not a good word, and it is full of irony.

Naturally, someone answered: "One disaster star, one disfigured, and now he can't marry in the mansion, so naturally we can't compare." ”

The person who spoke was not someone else, it was Chu Xiao who had a deep holiday with Yunqing, as soon as Chu Xiao said this, Prince Rong and Dugu Yi both changed their faces, Rong Cheng was okay, but the chill in his eyes deepened a little, and he looked at Chu Xiao and said, "Who is this daughter?"

"Courtiers Chu Xiao. Seeing that the handsome Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to ask himself, Chu Xiao couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.

Rong Cheng said coldly: "A good daughter of an official family, but she doesn't like to listen to what she says! There is a saying that each other is born from the heart, and now it seems that it is really good!"

If Rong Cheng really hates anyone, regardless of men or women, he never shows mercy when he speaks. For a woman, being ridiculed in public for being ugly is not an ordinary blow.

However, he rarely dislikes anyone, this Chu Xiao is one!

Dare to mock Yun Qing, what is she!!

Chu Xiao's face turned red, and he was on fire in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only open his mouth aggrievedly: "Courtier, courtier, courtier, just tell the truth! Why should Your Highness be angry?"

"What do you mean, is this a lie?"

How dare Chu Xiao say that, but if what the prince said is true, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that she is really ugly?

Chu Xiao was speechless, and the Queen Mother stood up to relieve the siege and said: "Cheng'er, don't embarrass other girls, Miss Chu, as the daughter of an official family, should be cautious and behave well in the future." ”

"The courtiers obey!"

After Chu Xiao was honest, Rong Cheng said: "Staying in the mansion is not necessarily bad. ”

He is the crown prince, and few people dare to refute it, His Majesty glanced at him, and said in his heart, Why is the emperor so abnormal this time?

After the banquet, Rong Cheng returned to the dormitory with the Queen Mother, and probably told the Queen Mother about his amnesia in the past year, of course, Yunqing's part didn't say much, only that he was rescued by a woman.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "Thanks to your fate, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Rong Cheng said: "My grandson has something to ask for. ”

"You say!"

"My grandson wants to find Yuyan Pavilion to make a batch of jewelry. ”

"It's not a big deal, you just give the order yourself. ”

"Grandson also wants to use the name of your birthday to open the Yuyan Pavilion to the public for seven days. ”

"Why is that?"

Rong Cheng wanted to give Yunqing a set of jewelry, but if he took out the jewelry of Yuyan Pavilion for nothing, the girl would definitely be suspicious, after all, Yuyan Pavilion has not been open to the public for many years, and those who can get Yuyan Pavilion jewelry are all dignitaries.

"Grandma just said yes or no. ”

"Promise to promise, can grandma not promise you for such a trivial matter. ”

......

When Prince Rong returned to the palace, he locked himself in his room and threw many things.

How could the prince come back? How could he have survived if he had taken all the best measures? Then all his efforts were in vain?!! he knew in his heart that as long as the prince came back, he would never be able to sit in that position!!

He's not reconciled!

Yun Yi stayed outside, listening to the sound of smashing things in the bedroom, and didn't dare to go in, for fear that the eldest prince would get angry and implicate her.

Rong Cheng came back this time, and he was not the only one who felt the crisis?

After Dugu Yi returned home, he was also worried, in order to give Yun Shu a stable future, he followed Prince Rong without hesitation, he never thought that the prince would come back one day!

Yun Shu was not as pitiful as Yun Yi, and she still dared to speak in front of Dugu Yi: "Husband, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back, do you say, will he settle accounts with us in the future?"

"Don't think about it, it's not something you should worry about!"

Dugu Yi is now gradually becoming a little impatient with Yun Shu, although he maintains the image of a good husband on the surface, sometimes he still can't control his impatience.

Yun Shu felt a little aggrieved in her heart, put down her chopsticks and said: "I would have asked you to give up following the prince a long time ago, if I had listened to my father, how good it would have been!"

"Shut up! I'm not doing all this for you?!"

After they got married, Dugu Yi rarely touched her, and the last time she had a round room, it was half a month ago, she bothered to seduce, which made Dugu Yi interested in her body. If this man is sincere to her, who will believe it?

Originally, Yun Shu had already seen it, she only needed to sit in the position of the general's wife, but now that the situation is wrong, she is not at ease, Dugu Yi pushed the matter on her again, Yun Shu was a little unbearable and said: "If the husband was really for the good of the concubine, he should have listened to my father a long time ago!"

Dugu Yi slammed the chopsticks heavily: "Then you just go back to Yunfu! Why do you talk so much about having a meal? If you don't like to eat, get out!!"

Yun Shu: "......"

On the birthday of the Queen Mother, the news of the safe return of the first prince spread immediately, Xu is to celebrate this event, the Yuyan Pavilion is open to the public for seven days, as long as the common people have money, they can go to the Yuyan Pavilion to buy jewelry or custom jewelry within seven days.

Despite this, there are still not many people who go to Yuyan Pavilion to buy jewelry, because almost every piece in it is sky-high, and those that are the cheapest are also the ones that ordinary people can't afford to spend when they go bankrupt.

Yun Qing was not going to join in the fun, but the old lady gave her a lot of silver in private and said: "Qing'er, you can get married now, go buy yourself two decent jewelry, if you lack money, don't be embarrassed to say, grandma has it all." ”

Yun Qing's heart inevitably warmed: "Thank you, grandma." ”

Now, the old lady has finally begun to accept her, and Yunqing rarely feels a trace of true affection from the elders.

That's what it tasted like......

Seeing her standing dumbfounded, the old lady smiled and said, "What are you doing stupidly, go buy some jewelry." ”

Yunqing didn't plan to buy any jewelry, but the old lady had this heart, and she didn't want to waste it, it just so happened that she had never been to Yuyan Pavilion, so it was good to take the second girl around.

This Yuyan Pavilion, it is said that the first queen, that is, the prince's biological mother mother opened, was originally the largest jewelry shop in Beijing, and later became the royal palace, after the death of the first queen, it has never been opened to the outside world, this year I don't know why it suddenly opened for seven days, but don't care what it is, it's always a good thing.

When Yunqing and Erya arrived, they couldn't help but be a little shocked by the luxury of this Yuyan Pavilion, knowing that it was a tidying shop, but if they didn't know, they thought it was a palace with chic decoration.

After Yunqing and Erya entered, the little maid in the store saw that the two were dressed ordinary, so they didn't take the two seriously.

Yun Qing walked around by herself, and she didn't have anything special to buy, in fact, the main reason was that she had no money, although she had already guessed that the jewelry here was not cheap, and the price was still beyond Yun Qing's expectations.

Erya was shocked: "Eldest sister, I knew that the things here were so expensive, it would be nice not to give your box of jewelry to Miss Liu!

"Those that weren't mine in the first place, there's nothing to be sorry for. Yun Qing and Er Ya looked at it again, she really didn't want anything too much, but she saw Er Ya staring at these jewelry, and she seemed to want something.

Yun Qing remembered that Erya liked peony flowers, and asked the guy, "Do you have any jewelry carved with peonies here?"

The guy glanced at Yun Qing and said with a little disdain: "Yes, yes, but what price does the girl want?"

Yun counted how much silver he had in his hand and asked, "Is there about a hundred taels?"

When the man heard this, he sneered and said, "Yes, the jewelry of about a hundred taels of silver is over there, you can see for yourself." ”

Yun Qing didn't care about this guy's attitude at all, he was just a part-time worker, and there was nothing noble about working in Yuyan Pavilion!

Yun Qing pulled Er Ya to see about a hundred taels of jewelry, and the little guy sneered with the other one: "Look at those two poor ghosts over there, they are embarrassed to come to us to buy jewelry!"
