"Brother Chen, do you think the Queen Mother will like it?"
Song Jinse asked Bei Mingchen eagerly. She did not pay more attention to Bei Mingchen's expression, nor did she notice Xiyan beside her. She was now focused on the gift prepared for the Queen Mother.
When she said this, she interrupted Bei Mingchen's thoughts.
"I like it. Grandma Huang must like it very much." Bei Mingchen suddenly came back to his senses with a shock and said hurriedly.
After thinking for a while, Bei Mingchen added: "Sese, you are really thoughtful."
"Hehe, the Queen Mother has taken great care of me since I was a child. Of course I have to prepare well for her sixtieth birthday this time."
Song Jinse smiled shyly at Bei Mingchen and said. She was very happy when she heard Bei Mingchen praise the gift she had prepared. After all, she had thought about this gift for a long time.
Moreover, it took a lot of effort and a lot of money to get such an exquisite bracelet.
"Yes, when I was a child." Bei Mingchen couldn't help but sigh.
During the conversation, Song Jinse's eyes began to look around. She suddenly glanced and saw sister Xiyan standing not far away. At this moment, their eyes happened to meet.
"Sister Xiyan is here too."
When Su Ningqing saw this, she was about to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect to be stopped by Song Jinse. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to stop and walked over slowly.
"Your Majesty, Sister Jinse." She walked up to them and said politely, with a stiff smile on her face.
"Sister Xiyan, look, what do you think of this bracelet?"
As soon as he saw Xiyan, Song Jinse couldn't help but ask her, asking her to help with advice, but it seemed a bit like he was showing off.
"High-end luxury without being ostentatious, such a grand bracelet looks very good." Xi Yan praised there.
"Really? That's really great." Song Jinse said happily.
"Let's go. If you have anything to say, let's go into the house and say it. Don't stand outside all the time."
Bei Mingchen said to the two of them leisurely, blaming him for being careless. After chatting for so long, he actually kept Song Jinse standing in the yard.
"No need." Song Jinse said without hesitation.
This time, Song Jinse rejected him because she didn't plan to stay too long this time.
"Actually, I don't have anything important to do here today. Now that the gift has been confirmed, I should go back. After all, the Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday will be in seven days. I have to go back quickly and make good preparations, right?"
Song Jinse explained again.
"Sixtieth birthday..."
Xiyan murmured there. Her voice was very small, as if she was talking to herself.
However, Bei Mingchen still heard these words. He lowered his head slightly, glanced at her, and glanced at Miss Xiyan, who was standing silently on his right. Then he raised his head again and said politely to Song Jinse
With.
"Okay, then walk slowly, Sese. You have to be more careful along the way."
As he spoke, he sent Miss Song Jinse away from Prince Xiao's Mansion. Then, he slowly walked to Xi Yan, who was standing there silently in a daze.
"Xiyan, you can go too."
He stretched out his right hand and gently stroked her hair that was messed up by the wind and stuck to her cheeks. His movements were gentle, considerate and a bit sultry, and his voice was so gentle.
"Huh? Me?" Xiyan was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowed slightly, then opened again, and she asked there. After all, she had never entered the palace, let alone attended such a grand banquet?
"Yes." Bei Mingchen said to her with certainty.
Xiyan slowly raised her head and looked at Bei Mingchen. When she met Bei Mingchen's firm gaze, Xiyan just looked at him silently without saying a word.
Bei Mingchen seemed to see what was on her mind, so he added words to reassure her.
"Don't worry, I'm here." As he said that, Bei Mingchen stroked Xiyan's cheek lovingly.
"Um...Okay, ah." Xiyan stammered.
"Let's go inside."
Bei Mingchen said as he led Xiyan into the house.
"What kind of gift do you think we should give?" After arriving at the house, Bei Mingchen asked Xiyan seriously.
"Hmm~What?" She asked, not responding for a moment.
"For Grandma Huang's sixtieth birthday, what do you think would be a better gift?" Bei Mingchen explained in detail.
Time is running out now, and there are only seven days left. If Song Jinse hadn't come today, Bei Mingchen would have almost forgotten that the imperial grandmother's birthday is seven days away.
Normal birthdays are fine, but this time it was the imperial grandmother's sixtieth birthday. His father had already decreed that the whole world should celebrate it, so how could he go there empty-handed!
However, now he had no clue about the gift he had prepared for the Queen Mother. Seeing Song Jinse prepare such a good gift, he was even more at a loss.
However, Bei Mingchen felt that Miss Xiyan could definitely help him.
He just listened to Xi Yan's comments about the bracelet and felt that she was observing it very carefully. Although she only glanced at it from a distance, she grasped the essence of the bracelet and discovered it at a glance.
The value of it. Miss Xiyan’s evaluation just now was just right. Although his evaluation was very brief, every word was the essence.
In addition, Miss Xiyan is usually so careful, and things she does always feel unexpected, and often give people a feeling of light up.
Bei Mingchen believed that Xiyan would be able to choose a great gift this time.
Xiyan sat at the table, holding her chin with her hand, her face slightly raised, thinking deeply. At this time, she was asked to think about what gift to give, and she was really confused.
"The Queen Mother must have seen many precious things, such as gold, silver and jewelry. She must have seen them too much. If the prince wants to give them as gifts, he should give them something different."
She thought for a long time and spoke leisurely. After listening, Bei Mingchen nodded in agreement.
But what should she give? She still couldn't think of it.
"It's okay. There's no rush. We still have seven days to prepare. You can go back and think about it slowly."
"Yeah." Xiyan nodded after hearing this and kept saying.
After returning to the other courtyard, Xiyan sat silently in the courtyard alone, continuing to think hard about what kind of gift she should give to the Queen Mother.
Sometimes she looked up at the sky, sometimes at the herbs planted in her yard. After sitting for a long time, she would keep walking around in the yard, thinking hard about suitable gifts.
In fact, she thought of countless types of gifts, but in the end she was overturned by herself.
Suddenly, Su Ningqing's eyes lit up. She saw the Green Baby Lotus growing in a remote location. It was a coincidence that when she was cleaning the yard this morning, Su Ningqing happened to see the Green Baby Lotus in bloom.
This kind of lotus takes root every ten years and sprouts once every ten years. Under normal circumstances, it blooms once every hundred years. Many people will never see this kind of lotus in their lifetime.
More importantly, it stands to reason that the Green Baby Lotus, like other lotuses, will only bloom in summer, but I never thought that this Green Baby Lotus, unlike the others, actually blooms in the cold winter!
This also happened to coincide with the Queen Mother's birthday.
Green Baby Lotus can be regarded as a rare and precious species. The reason why it is said so is not only because of its flowers that can only be seen in a hundred years.
Another point, which is also crucial, is that the Green Baby Lotus is also very picky about the growth environment. It is difficult for ordinary people to feed such a plant. If Suningqing hadn't been proficient in the growth characteristics of these plants and cared for them carefully every day, she would be so arrogant.
It is also difficult for plants to survive in the capital.
Give such a rare plant as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely like it.
Firstly, it wishes the Queen Mother eternal youth, and secondly, it also implies that the Queen Mother is as noble and pure as a lotus. In addition, this Green Baby Lotus is also a good medicinal material, and every part of it is a treasure. Maybe the Queen Mother can use it in the future.
Up?
Yes, that's it. If you add some cloud baby flowers that she carefully cultivated next to it, it will definitely make this gift very unique.
Such a novel and meaningful gift will definitely make the Queen Mother's eyes shine.

Just when Xiyan was happily preparing to go to Bei Mingchen and tell him her idea, he actually took the initiative to find her.
"Your Majesty? But what's the matter?" she asked doubtfully.
"Nothing, I just came to give the girl something." Bei Mingchen said simply.
After saying this, Bei Mingchen waved his hand and motioned for everyone to come forward. Two maids slowly walked over and walked up to Suningqing. They were carefully holding a new set of clothes in their hands.
Although the clothes are not very gorgeous, there are ulterior motives in the details. Even the stitches on the sleeves and hem are so meticulous.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"This is the new clothes I have prepared for you. Grandma Huang's birthday will be in six days, so the girl should make good preparations."
Bei Mingchen smiled at her and explained.
Just like that, Xiyan was pulled into the house by the two maids and put on the new clothes. The fabric of the clothes was very comfortable and the size was suitable.
Xi Yan slowly walked out of the house.
"It's very good. It matches the girl's temperament very well."
Bei Mingchen couldn't help but praise him. Seeing this, Xiyan also lowered his head slightly and smiled shyly.
"By the way, a girl ran out in a hurry just now, but what does she have to say?"
Now that Bei Mingchen's matter was settled, the next step was Miss Xiyan's. Naturally, he noticed the hurried look of Miss Xiyan just now.
"Your Majesty, I have thought about what gift to give."
Speaking of this, Xi Yan suddenly came back to her senses,
"What?" Bei Mingchen asked her eagerly with a happy smile after hearing this.
