Chapter Ninety-Seven: Comparison

When he said this, Zuo Mingli behaved very self-reproachful, he lowered his head, as if he was guilty of offering an imperfect gift to the Queen Mother.

When Du Shi heard that another longevity peach was destroyed, she couldn't help but feel sorry for it, but unfortunately the emotion only flashed, Du Shi looked at the grandson in front of him, his eyes were soft.

"Damaging an object is a trivial matter, but fortunately, Li'er, you don't have to worry about your life, don't dare to be negligent next time, you must bring enough guards when you go out."

"However, on the best side, these two rare treasures in the world can still have one left after the chaos of that day, which also shows that Li'er you are a blessed person."

"Grandma's grandson can't agree with this, this longevity peach is a gift for grandma, if you want to say blessing, it must be your blessing, speaking of which, the other longevity peach blocked a sword for grandchildren, maybe it also depends on grandma's blessing."

The grandparents and grandchildren on the stage are kind and filial, Zuo Mingche can see that his teeth are itchy at the bottom, Situ Xi can be regarded as having gained knowledge today, but he didn't expect Zuo Mingli to have such a side, his little mouth is too sweet.

Du Shi was amused, she accepted the glazed longevity peach, but did not ask the waiter around her to take it down, she put the longevity peach on the table at hand, and rubbed it with her hand from time to time for a while.

Zuo Mingli walked down proudly, he began to think about preparing for this birthday gift a year ago, and this thought and heart were completely enough to support his proud mood at the moment.

Zuo Mingli passed by Zuo Mingche's side, the eyes of the two princes were briefly intertwined, one was laughing, and the other was with a cold face and empty eyes, obviously in the "contest" just now, it was Zuo Mingli who was slightly better.

Compared with the "generous gifts" of the two brothers, the congratulatory gifts of the third prince Zuo Minghu are mediocre.

What he presented was a jade ruyi, which was carved with a pattern of heavenly bats, and the "bat" represented "blessing", which contained the wish for a long life and good luck for the Du family.

Du Shi's reaction was also very flat, she nodded and accepted it, without saying anything to Zuo Minghu, and then waved his hand to let him retreat.

When the three princes finished offering gifts, Du Shi whispered to the eunuchs beside him.

The eunuch received instructions and beckoned to the side, and after a while, several palace maids came up with several plates of birthday cakes.

"Li'er Fang only has a sentence but it is right, the mourning family is indeed a blessed person, just the group of filial piety and excellent descendants in front of him is the blessing of the mourning family from God."

"Brothers, come here, come and divide these birthday cakes, and the mourning family also wishes you peace and health." Du Shi smiled, cut the birthday cake with his own hands, and turned his head to look at Situ Xi and the others, "You also come, come and taste it, they are all made by the Treasure Department." ”

The Queen Mother's orders, everyone did not dare to disobey, and they should speak in unison.

After the three princes took the birthday cake, the sons and brothers slowly walked in front of the queen mother, Fang Di walked at the head of the line, and Situ Xi stood beside him.

"Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward!" Fang Di held the jade plate in both hands and bowed gratefully to Du Shi, but he was not ready to turn away, but stopped where he was, put the jade plate on the table, and took out a box from his arms.

"Queen Mother, today is your birthday, the kid hasn't given you a gift yet, but he has received your favor first, so that the kid can also get this joy and blessing, which makes the kid really a little scared."

"Actually, the kid also has a gift that I want to give to you in front of you, I dare to take this opportunity at this time, and please don't blame it."

Fang Di actually wanted to present a public gift on the stage, he bowed his body and held up the box with both hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of several of the nobles behind him immediately turned ugly, some of them did not bring gifts, and some of them could not take the things they had prepared on such occasions, and the behavior of this embankment was trapping them in a place of injustice.

Fang Yubi was also in the team, and he had a smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to have been discussed by them in advance.

Situ Xi was a little surprised.

This Fang Dike's behavior can be said to be very bold, regardless of whether his wanton behavior will cause the disgust of the Chu Emperor and the Queen Mother, if he does not control the "degree" of the gift, it is very likely to offend several highnesses who have just finished the gift.

Fang Di should not be stupid, and his gifts will probably not be better than those of the three highnesses......

While thinking, Situ Xi suddenly saw the square embankment in front of him with his head bowed suddenly turning around and winking at him with a smile.

"Queen Mother, here is a bright moon pearl."

Fang Di opened the box, and it contained a light blue bead the size of a half-fist, which he covered up slightly with his sleeve robe, and the surface of the bead was even brighter.

"What?" Du Shi was no longer calm, her voice fluctuated slightly, and she looked at the beads in the box, a little uncertain, "Quick, bring it over and let the mourning family take a look." ”

"Yes." The square embankment is a few steps closer.

"Light blue...... Where did you get this bead? Emperor Chu on the side also became interested.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is said that it was found in the depths of a cave." Fang Di grinned.

"Brother-in-law, this bead is a bit exaggerated, it's as big as my fist, I'm afraid it can't even compare to the glazed longevity peach of His Royal Highness King Geng, where did this surnamed Fang get the money?" Zhong Limo was standing just in the right place to be able to see the color of the bright moon bead, and the quality of the bead also startled him.

The limelight in the field can be said to have been robbed by Fang Di at this moment, Zuo Mingli was also slightly displeased at this time, what does this Fang Di want to do like this? Do you want to block him?

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the kid is already satisfied with handing over the gift to the birthday star at this time, so he will retire first."

Without waiting for Du Shi to finish admiring the bright moon pearl, Fang Di saluted and said goodbye, and he turned to look at Situ Xi behind him and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry for the delay."

"I'm sorry Brother Situ, it's obviously your idea, but I took you one step ahead, this gift cost me a lot of thought, I really want to hand it over to the Queen Mother, don't blame."
