Chapter 231: Gift-giving

"Of course it's true, when did I lie to you!" Lan Bin said with a smile.

"Great!"

Zhu Xiongying was ecstatic for a while, and said gratefully, "Cousin, thank you!"

Since Queen Ma's eyes were a little difficult to see, he was in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and kept thinking that he could cure Queen Ma's inability to see clearly.

It's a pity that the imperial doctor prescribed a lot of medicine to Queen Ma, but it is still not ideal.

Now Lan Bin said that Queen Ma wears reading glasses and can see things clearly like a normal person, so how can he not be excited.

Lan Bin waved his hand: "It's too much to say thank you, between you and me, don't be so polite."

"Cousin, can I bring my reading glasses into the palace right now and put them on for my grandmother?" Zhu Xiongying nodded, keeping this in his heart, thinking that Queen Ma would be able to see things clearly when she wore reading glasses, so she couldn't help but say.

Lan Bin thought for a while and said, "These reading glasses are yours now, when to send them, you make your own decisions!"

"Well, then I'll bring it back when I go back to the palace later!" Zhu Xiongying was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

Although it was a bit out of place to give the reading glasses to the imperial grandfather in advance. But he thought of giving his reading glasses to the imperial grandfather, who in turn handed them over to the imperial grandmother.

Let the imperial grandmother be earlier and be able to see things clearly, and he won't care so much.

Compared to comparing the birthday gifts of his imperial grandfather with his uncles on the Halloween, he preferred to let his imperial grandmother wear reading glasses earlier.

Lan Bin nodded, and said, "Eldest nephew, you came to me today, is there anything wrong?"

"Cousin, didn't you say it was okay last time! Come to your house and make a cake!!"

Zhu Xiongying happily put her reading glasses into the brocade box, and when she heard Lan Bin's words, she remembered her business. Hurriedly closed the brocade box containing reading glasses and said.

"I almost forgot!"

Lan Bin suddenly came to his senses and beckoned, "Let's go, I'll take you to the kitchen." After you told me about this last time, I asked the kitchen to prepare the cake ingredients!"

"Cousin, this—" Zhu Xiongying raised the brocade box in his hand.

Lan Bin looked at it and said with a smile, "Let me study first!" Take it with you when you go in the afternoon!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, put the brocade box on top of Lan Bin's bookcase, and went to the kitchen with Lan Bin to practice making cakes.

This time, Zhu Xiongying knew a lot about making cakes and had experienced the whole process of making cakes, so when he entered the kitchen, after Lan Bin divided the cake making procedures, Zhu Xiongying picked up the basin with ease, beat eggs, stirred eggs and so on.

Lan Bin didn't do anything, just instructed the kitchen to make cakes as a whole on the side. ……

At the beginning of the afternoon, Zhu Xiongying, who had been busy in the kitchen for most of the day, carried a box of cakes and a brocade box containing reading glasses, and returned to the palace surrounded by accompanying eunuchs and guards.

Entering the palace, he carried a box containing cakes and a brocade box with reading glasses, and came directly to the Qianqing Palace.

The eunuchs guarding outside the hall were busy with their own affairs as if they didn't see it.

They are used to this scene.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was discussing with the minister with a calm face, inadvertently saw Zhu Xiongying, who was sneaky and probing his brain, outside the door, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Good grandson, what are you doing sneakily? Come on in!"

The ministers in the hall who were complaining stopped one after another, looked over, and just saw Zhu Xiongying walking in with two boxes, one large and one small.

Then he got up and saluted, "The ministers see the emperor's eldest grandson!"

"My grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather!"

Zhu Xiongying came to the front of everyone, handed over the box containing the cake and the brocade box containing reading glasses to a eunuch to hold, and after saluting Zhu Yuanzhang, he returned the salute to the ministers: "Xiongying has seen all the ministers!"

"Good grandson, do you have anything to do with us?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Xiongying's well-behaved appearance, and said happily in his heart.

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly said, "Grandpa Huang,

My grandson is here to give you a birthday gift!"

"Birthday gift?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiongying to come to him for this, and said in surprise: "Good grandson, we know your filial piety, but now there are still a few days before our birthday. What are you giving for your birthday now?"

"Grandpa Huang, this birthday gift for my grandson is different, my grandson wants to send it to Grandpa Huang in advance!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.

Different?

Could it be that Lan Bin's kid prepared something new for our good grandson?

Zhu Yuanzhang was interested: "Really? Give us the birthday gift!"

"Grandpa Huang, this is the grandson's birthday gift!"

Zhu Xiongying beckoned, summoned the eunuch who was carrying the brocade box for him, and took the brocade box containing reading glasses from his hand, opened the brocade box, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the strange-looking reading glasses in the brocade box with great interest, and curiously reached out and took out the reading glasses: "Good grandson, what is this?"

What is this?

The ministers were very curious when they heard that Zhu Xiongying gave Zhu Yuanzhang a birthday gift in advance, and now they saw Zhu Yuanzhang take out the birthday gift, and they all sneaked around, constantly glancing at the reading glasses in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

In addition to being more curious, I am also more confused.

As ministers of the imperial court, they can be regarded as well-informed, but they have really never seen reading glasses, let alone know what reading glasses are for.

It's just that because Zhu Yuanzhang is in front, even if they are confused and curious, they don't dare to talk about it.

"Grandpa Huang, this thing is called reading glasses!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Xiongying was very interested: "Cousin, I heard that the imperial grandmother's eyes are not very good, and she can't see things clearly. Skilled craftsmen were specially assembled to make such a pair of reading glasses."

"As long as the imperial grandmother wears reading glasses, she can see things clearly like a normal person!"

"Really?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was happy at first, and immediately said with some doubts.

It's not that he doesn't believe Lan Bin, but the imperial doctor said that Queen Ma has an eye disease, which is a disease.

Lan Bin didn't ask for a doctor, and second, he didn't prescribe medicine, so he took out such a pair of strange-looking reading glasses, and said that he could make Queen Ma, who had eye diseases, see things clearly.

It's hard for him not to doubt it.

The ministers looked at each other, and then looked at the reading glasses, can this thing cure eye diseases? Just kidding! Xinglin masters don't dare to say that they can cure eye diseases, just such a pair of weird-looking reading glasses can treat eye diseases?

Zhu Xiongying affirmed, "Cousin, you won't lie to me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't tell the truth for a while, although Lan Bin was young, but he did everything one by one, and he really didn't make any mistakes. But because of trust, I concluded that reading glasses could cure eye diseases.

That would be too sloppy.

Thinking about it, he planned to take his reading glasses to Kunning Palace and let Queen Ma try it. But thinking of discussing the government with the ministers, he couldn't help but say, "Come on, go to Kunning Palace and invite our sister to come to us!"
