Zhao Nuoqing kowtowed to the Queen Mother to thank him, and then got up with the support of Jin He.

I saw her turn around and take over a very beautifully carved sandalwood box from Jin He's hand, and then said: "The concubine borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha, and presented the hairpin that the first emperor gave to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to take a look!" ”

Hearing what Zhao Nuoqing said, the Queen Mother was very excited, and immediately sent Mama Lan to hurry up and bring the hairpin.

Mama Lan took the box, smiled gratefully at Zhao Nuoqing, and then presented the box with both hands.

The queen mother's hand seemed to tremble slightly, and she slowly opened the box, and saw a glass-inlaid gold silk phoenix hairpin appear in front of her.

The phoenix hairpin is the same as when the emperor gave it to her, but there are some slight differences, it can be seen that the original broken place is wrapped in extremely fine gold wire, not only did not destroy the original appearance of the phoenix hairpin, but added a touch of uniqueness to it, which shows that the person who repaired it is clever and skilled.

The Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and she was overjoyed when she held the golden hairpin in her hand.

Seeing this, the queen was afraid that the queen mother would see things and think about people, so she said: "Queen Mother, Zhao Cairen not only has a hand in repairing hairpins, but also has full ingenuity in coiling hair, why don't you let Zhao Cairen re-put this hairpin on you?" ”

The Queen Mother listened and nodded.

At that moment, several palace maids and eunuchs moved out the screens in the room to cover the front, and Zhao Nuoqing stood beside the Queen Mother and began to comb her hair for the Queen Mother.

After a while, a new hairstyle that was very fresh but dignified appeared on the top of the queen mother's head, and then, I saw Zhao Nuoqing seemingly casually put the glass phoenix hairpin in the queen mother's bun, and in an instant, the queen mother seemed to be five or six years younger.

When even listening to the exclamation of the queen on the side, "Queen Mother, you are so beautiful!" ”

Mama Lan was also surprised and said, "Zhao Cairen's hands look similar to ours, aren't they just ten fingers?" How do you make such a beautiful bun in the blink of an eye? Hey, the slave seems to have seen the Queen Mother thirty years ago! ”

The Queen Mother looked at herself in the bronze mirror, as if she had returned to her youthful appearance.

The phoenix hairpin was originally given to her by the emperor when he was young, and the hairpin was in line with his own identity as the queen at that time, steady and playful, but he has now lived for most of his life, and then he feels a little uncomfortable with his identity when he wears this hairpin, so the hairpin has been placed in the box and has never been worn, and finally wanted a hairpin on a whim, but he never thought that he would break it!

Now this hairpin is more suitable for her current identity under Zhao Nuoqing's skillful design, even if she wears it, she will not feel out of place.

So, the Queen Mother's gratitude to Zhao Nuoqing was beyond words, and she immediately turned around and held Zhao Nuoqing's hand, and said: "It's hard for you to be clever enough to let the mourning family wear this hairpin again!" Good boy, what reward do you want, as long as the mourning family can do it, there is no other word! ”

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, the queen on the side immediately smiled and said: "Zhao Cairen is very happy!" This palace has never received such a promise from the Queen Mother! Zhao Cairen didn't take this opportunity to let the queen mother have some blood? ”

The queen always knew how to make the queen mother happy, so she saw the queen mother glaring at her with a smile, and pretended to be disgusted: "The mourning family has never treated you badly!" You ungrateful thing! ”

The queen smiled mischievously and said no more.

Listening to the laughter of the queen mother and the queen behind the screen, the emperor immediately asked suspiciously: "Is the queen mother settled?" ”

I heard the laughter of the Queen Mother behind the screen, and said, "Wait!" ”

Shen Bochen listened to his mother's laughter, and his heart was naturally happy, so he said, "It's okay, don't worry!" ”

The Queen Mother behind the screen smiled, no longer paying attention to the emperor outside, but looked at Zhao Nuoqing behind her seriously, and asked, "What reward do you want?" Let's talk to the mourners! ”

Zhao Nuoqing knew that if she said that she didn't want any reward, the Queen Mother would inevitably suspect that she was pretending too much, and when she repaired the hairpin before, she thought that the Queen Mother would reward her, so she already had the reward she wanted the most in her heart!

So, I saw her kneeling at the feet of the Queen Mother, and said with sincerity: "Under the jurisdiction of the queen, the concubine has no worries about food and clothing in the palace, so there is no special need for reward, but the concubine does not want to let go of such a good opportunity, the concubine asks the queen mother to give the concubine to serve you at any time in the future, and can learn some of the ways of the world with you, which is what the concubine wants!" ”

Listening to Zhao Nuoqing's words, the Queen Mother was stunned, and she began to doubt Zhao Nuoqing's true intentions, and she didn't come back to her senses until a moment later.

When she looked at Zhao Nuoqing's eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and saw her sincere eyes without a trace of impurities, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel that maybe she was thinking too much!

And the queen beside her was also slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect that Zhao Cairen would make such a request, and she didn't understand her intentions for a while, but felt a little irritable and inexplicable.

However, before the source of the irritability could be found, I heard the Queen Mother smile on her face: "In this way, the mourning family will be fulfilled by you!" ”

Zhao Nuoqing's face instantly raised a bright smile, and he immediately kowtowed to the Queen Mother and thanked him: "Concubine thank the Queen Mother!" ”

The screen was removed, and the eyes of the emperor and all the concubines who were waiting quietly outside all looked towards the top.

I saw that the queen mother, who was not very old, was like a rejuvenator at this time, the hair on her head was elegant and chic and steady, and the rich and gorgeous hairpin cleverly added a little dignity to the queen mother in the bun, and even the emperor on the side couldn't help but be stunned.

Listening to the concubines seated down, Lin Cairen exclaimed: "The Queen Mother is also too beautiful!" ”

As soon as Lin Cairen's words came out, everyone echoed them, and because Lin Cairen's words came from the bottom of his heart, without a trace of flattery, the Queen Mother was also happy when she heard it, and she also rewarded Lin Cairen immediately.

Lin Cairen was overjoyed and needless to say, and said that since Zhao Nuoqing sent the golden hairpin, everyone has already left behind the previous performance of Fu Meiren's wealth, although Zhao Cairen's golden hairpin is also very chic, but compared with the jade Guanyin, it has more of a sense of affection, so the rest of the concubines who originally prepared a birthday gift but did not dare to give it to each other also presented their carefully prepared birthday gifts at this time.

And the queen mother who was seated was naturally very happy, and there was a happy scene up and down, but Fu Meiren, who was sitting in the crowd, looked at Zhao Nuoqing, who had already entered the seat, and her eyes were full of deep jealousy.

After the birthday gift was given, the imperial dining room sent a dinner party.

Because it was night, considering that the accumulation of food was difficult to eliminate, the dishes that came up were not extravagant, and each table only had five dishes and one soup, and this dish was also from the Queen Mother's hometown, which was a southern cuisine.

The cuisine in the south is mainly light, but the soup is with meat, which is a bergamot beef brisket soup.
