Chapter 36 Birthday Gift
Seeing Cheng Cairen's extremely proud appearance, his eyes flashed, and he was obviously willing to tell Lin Cairen about this.
I only heard her deliberately lower her voice and said to her: "Concubine Wen has liked the emperor since she was a child, after the queen had a miscarriage, for a period of time, somehow, after the queen's sister saw the emperor, she was like seeing an enemy, of course Concubine Wen couldn't bear her beloved man being bullied by other women!" So, since then, Concubine Wen has not been waiting to see her when she sees the queen! Our queen is also gentle and virtuous, because she is the niece of the queen mother, so she never cares. ”
Lin Cairen nodded, looking clear.
Zhao Nuoqing, who was sitting beside Lin Cairen, also listened to Cheng Cairen's words into his ears, but when he heard the part where the queen regarded the emperor as an enemy, his heart jumped violently.
Raising his eyes to look at the queen who was still accompanied by the deep love between husband and wife, his heart was filled with sadness, and then he thought of the queen's coercion of her, so he wiped out all the unbearable.
Xu Cairen sat down early in the morning, and when he saw Zhao Nuoqing in a daze, he immediately pushed her.
Zhao Nuoqing came back to his senses, looked at Xu Cairen, and asked softly, "What's the matter with Sister Xu?" ”
Seeing Xu Cairen said worriedly: "I heard Han Baolin tell the sisters that Princess Jiamin fell into the water and mistakenly recognized her sister as a murderer, is her sister injured?" ”
After saying that, his eyes looked towards Zhao Nuoqing's cheek.
Zhao Nuoqing smiled and said, "It's okay to be slapped, can my sister still see the traces on my face now?" ”
Lin Cairen's palace maid Yun Qing rolled eggs on her face for a long time, and rubbed a lot of fat powder, which covered the palm marks on her face.
Seeing Lin Cairen, he shook his head and said, "I can't see it!" My sister is really wronged, if my sister is present, I will protect you! That Concubine Jin is really hateful, she beats people indiscriminately, it's really excessive! ”
Seeing Lin Cairen indignantly holding for himself, but there was no sincerity in his eyes, Zhao Nuoqing was too lazy to debunk it, so he also followed the play, making a surprised and panicked look, and immediately said: "Sister Lin is cautious!" My sister knows that my sister thinks about me, but how can Concubine Jin be a little talent that you and I can talk about? Beware of the walls with ears! ”
Sure enough, Xu Cairen immediately looked frightened, looked around, and saw that no one paid attention to her, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to talk to Zhao Nuoqing anymore.
After Shen Bochen sat upright on the seat, he unconsciously looked around for Zhao Nuoqing's figure, and he didn't know if her face was swollen, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Lin Cairen was sitting at the bottom of the banquet, as if he was in a daze.
I immediately wondered, is Zhao Cairen still haunted by the fact that Fang Cai was almost wronged?
The emperor unconsciously felt a little more guilty in his heart, instead of punishing Concubine Jin, he also asked her to be generous and considerate of Concubine Jin.
Just because he is the emperor, he needs to keep the palace in a permanent order, and he must not break the palace rules because of anyone!
Because she was far away, she couldn't see whether the injury on her face was better, and the emperor frowned slightly.
At this time, Fu Meiren held up her six-month-old pregnant belly, and with the support of the palace maid Wen Kite, she took the lead and knelt down to the Queen Mother and said: "Concubine Beauty Fu Shi wishes the Queen Mother a birthday, I wish the Queen Mother a blessed life and a long life!" ”
The six-month pregnant belly is already much more obvious than the five-month pregnancy, and the Queen Mother is very happy when she sees it, and she is looking forward to Fu Meiren being able to give birth to Lin'er for the Jokhang Kingdom again!
When he ordered Wen Yuan to help Fu Meiren up, and asked her to serve Fu Meiren well.
After Fu Meiren thanked the Queen Mother, she instructed the two little eunuchs behind her to lift up a sandalwood box about three or four feet long, and opened the box at her signal.
I saw that a white jade Guanyin with a translucent body suddenly appeared in the box, and the surrounding concubines who were originally whispering all stopped talking and looked over.
Fu Meiren's father worships Sanpin, and her mother is the daughter of the richest man in the Jokhang Kingdom, and her family is comparable to the treasury, the price of such a jade Guanyin is very expensive, and even the concubine, who has always been arrogant, couldn't help frowning slightly, and it was difficult to hide the sour expression on her face.
I saw Fu Meiren proudly said: "The Queen Mother, this Jade Guanyin is carved by the concubine entrusted to my mother outside the palace to find dozens of skilled craftsmen, and then went to Putuo Temple to put it under the Buddha's seat, and sent nine hundred and eighty-one monks and countless disciples to recite the Buddhist scriptures of nine hundred and eighty-one days, and get it, this thing will definitely bless the Queen Mother with a long life and a long life!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the concubines and concubines here all gasped, just listening to Fu Meiren felt complicated, Fu Meiren's family background is really not comparable to ordinary people, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart.
However, the queen mother and the emperor were slightly dissatisfied with Fu Meiren's appearance of being so wealthy and laborious, but for the sake of her being pregnant, she also replied politely: "It's hard for you to be so attentive!" ”
After that, he motioned for Mama Lan to come forward and put it away.
Fu Meiren naturally didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking, at this time she was pregnant for herself, and gave the Queen Mother an incomparably precious gift in front of the Queen Mother and the emperor.
I thought to myself: Who else can be in the limelight now?
Sure enough, after Fu Meiren gave the gift, no one dared to come forward to give a gift, and with Fu Meiren's rich gift, if they went up at this time, it would not be a gift but an eye.
At the moment, the surrounding atmosphere was a little subtle, but Fu Meiren didn't know it, and was still immersed in the atmosphere of being envied by others.
The Queen Mother was slightly displeased, and when the emperor saw this, he immediately said: "I heard that Zhao Cairen also has a birthday gift!" Where is Zhao Cairen? ”
Zhao Nuoqing was listening to Lin Cairen complaining in her ear that Fu Meiren was getting carried away and her tail was about to go to the sky, when she was suddenly named by the emperor who was seated, and immediately raised her head, and saw that the emperor was staring at her with burning eyes.
Because of the emperor's words, the eyes of the concubines present all followed the emperor's gaze and fell on Zhao Cairen, who was at the bottom of the seat.
Seeing that Zhao Cairen was slightly stunned, he immediately stood up and slowly stepped forward with the palace maid behind him.
Zhao Nuoqing's expression was indifferent, and there was no trace of panic, so she saw her bowing to the emperor, queen mother and queen who were seated in a thoughtful manner.
After the emperor said "no courtesy", he slowly straightened his waist, and said in a voice as crisp as a bell: "The concubine Zhao congratulates the Queen Mother on her birthday, and wishes the Queen Mother good health, happiness and longevity!" ”
The Queen Mother remembered Zhao Nuoqing, and she had been thinking about the hairpin she had mended for her, but she was reluctant to urge her because of some thoughts that she couldn't talk to outsiders.
Immediately, he said: "Zhao Cairen is exempt from courtesy!" ”
