Chapter 396: There is no reason to take it back
"Lord Huaishu and Miss Hou are right, Miss Ye is filial, Queen Mother, don't shirk anymore."
"That's right, such a rare thing should be placed next to the most noble queen mother."
……
Among the ladies present, there were many who were jealous of Zhu Changxun's gift of the chiming bell to Jiang Shu, and they followed to persuade them.
Jiang Shu looked at them as if they were united and would not give up until they reached their goal, knowing that if they didn't let the Queen Mother accept the self-striking bell, he would definitely commit public anger, so he pulled the corners of his lips helplessly, and said in a sincere tone: "Queen Mother, the courtiers have a heart, and please let the Queen Mother fulfill it." If the queen mother insists on refusing to agree, everyone will think that the courtiers are unwilling to give the self-ringing bell to the queen mother, so the courtiers will be embarrassed. ”
"In that case...... Then let Ye Xiangguo bring it over to the mourning family tomorrow, "I really want to see that rare thing, and at the same time, so many people have persuaded each other, and it is inconvenient to refuse, Empress Dowager Li muttered for a while, "When the mourning family enjoys a few days, I will order someone to send it back to you." ”
"No need, Queen Mother," Jiang Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "When the Queen Mother had her birthday a few days ago, the courtiers didn't give any good gifts, so it should be a birthday gift from the courtiers to the Queen Mother." ”
"How can this be done," Empress Dowager Li looked at her from a distance of more than a dozen seats and said, "That was given to you by Xun'er." ”
"Imperial grandmother, please accept it with confidence, and send her another thing another day." Turning his head and glancing at Jiang Shu, Zhu Changxun said with a light smile.
The self-striking bell was still in his house, and it was sent to the palace for the Queen Mother to enjoy, and there was no reason to take it back.
"Okay, this matter is settled," knowing that the self-striking bell must be given to the imperial grandmother, I don't want the imperial brother and the future imperial sister-in-law to bother more about this matter, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of the imperial grandmother directly responding, on the other side, Zhu Xuanyu pulled the sleeve of the Empress Dowager Li with a smile, changed the topic and said, "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er thinks that there is definitely nothing more strange than what Sister Rao said, so don't let everyone talk about new things, let's play a game." ”
"What game do you want to play?" Empress Dowager Li turned her head slightly to look at her, and her tone was kind and authentic.
Although this granddaughter was born by Concubine Zheng Guifei, she has always been gentle and knowledgeable, and she is one of the only two surviving princesses, and she still likes her very much.
"Let's play the game of passing the embroidered handkerchief," Zhu Xuanyu thought for a while, and pointed to the east and west rows, "The two sides start from the first one, that is, the eldest brother and the third emperor brother, after the game starts, one by one at the same time, no one is allowed to be separated in the middle, and when the judge shouts to stop, whoever falls on the table will chant a poem or give a word, and we can also just see the talents of the young ladies." ”
"Okay, okay," without waiting for Empress Dowager Li to speak, Zhu Xuanrao on the other side immediately nodded in agreement, "Let me be the judge." ”
"This must be fair as a judge, can you do it?" Empress Dowager Li turned her head and looked at her suspiciously.
"Why can't you, Rao'er has been a judge many times!" Zhu Xuanrao smiled proudly, let go of her arm, took out a goose-yellow embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve, and then stretched out her hand to Zhu Xuanyu, who was sitting on the other side of Empress Dowager Li, "Sister Yu, bring your handkerchief." ”
