During the dinner, Yu Chimo remained calm and composed throughout the whole process.
He took a sip of his wine, looked back at Huaying beside him, and asked, "Is there any news from Lan Sheng?"
"Hurry up." Huaying lowered her voice, "Don't worry, master. Although the Murong family is ruthless, master's slain is not a vegetarian. Even if you can't secure a win, you can definitely last for another two days. Master will ask His Majesty for an order tomorrow morning." Jing, take this opportunity to increase the number of staff, and the Murong family will be wiped out!"
"En." Yu Chimo responded indifferently.
"Mother, the children are caring. In order to please you, I specially prepared a lot of birthday presents for you. You might as well unwrap them face to face, so that the courtiers and concubines can also wish you good luck." Concubine Xian said softly.
"Yeah." Dongfang Min was so angry about Yingluo's matter that he was completely out of shape, and he responded indiscriminately, "I will do as you wish. Haitang, you can report in order according to the guest list."
"Yes." Aunt Haitang nodded, then looked at Concubine Xian.
Xinlan, the eldest maid of Zhaoyang Palace, stood up immediately, and called the two palace servants to move the gift from Concubine Xian to the center of the hall.
"The empress mother, the courtiers and concubines showed their ugliness. It took more than half a month to embroider this picture of a hundred years of life with my own hands. I wish the empress mother a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity like the South Mountain." The concubine Xian said softly.
Concubine Xian's embroidery work is one of the best in the capital, and she spent a lot of time carving it out. As soon as the work came out, the faces of the officials were naturally amazed. Even the Queen Mother, who had been lacking in interest, couldn't help but sit up straight, her eyes followed It's bright.
"Not bad! Not bad! Really good!" Emperor Ning said slowly, "I love my concubine with a heart! This picture of a hundred years of life is a collection of authentic works by dozens of famous masters in the dynasty, and every stitch and thread is very detailed!"
"The emperor is right! Zhaoyu has a heart. After so many days without saying a word, she prepared such a big surprise for Aijia. Compared with those gaudy dances performed by some people, it is much better!" When Dongfang Min said this, he glanced at Rong Xinruo unconsciously.
Rong Xinruo naturally knew that she was talking about herself. In the past, she would have been able to pass by with eloquence, but today her mind was full of the look that Rong Yin looked at her when he sank to the bottom of the lake, and her thoughts were in a mess. Can't answer. She simply lowered her head, and let this round be left to Concubine Xian!
However, the most embarrassing person on the court was not Rong Xinruo.
The moment Yu Chimo saw the picture of a hundred years of life, his brows were wrinkled, and he looked sideways at Dongfang Lingxi beside him, frowning and said, "I heard from Huaying a few days ago that it seems that you have also prepared for a hundred years of life." picture?"
Dongfang Lingxi's complexion changed, and she remained silent.
"In just five days, even if you have excellent embroidery skills, it is absolutely impossible to embroider a more exquisite one." Yu Chimo's face became more and more embarrassing, "Lingxi, you really let me down! In the past six months, you I’ve never done anything that satisfies me!”
Dongfang Lingxi didn't dare to speak back at all. She really couldn't figure out which step she made a mistake, her gift collided with Concubine Xian? ! She had clearly inquired early in the morning that Concubine Xian was going to give away the "Black Pearl of the South China Sea". She said that it was a rare treasure that King Ning got from the South China Sea when he was on a tour to the south. Why did he suddenly stop offering treasures and play the emotional card instead? Woolen cloth
"From my point of view, you seem to be sitting too comfortably in the position of the crown princess, and you are about to forget your origin!"
