Chapter 651 The Empress Dowager Arrives

"Old slave, thank the Supreme Emperor for the reward." Eunuch Hai held the 'Zhu Yan Dan' in his eyes with red eyes.

"After drinking so much golden stem dew, I don't see you crying, huh!" The Supreme Emperor tilted his head and looked at Mingruo, "Little girl, do you like drinking? There is good golden stem dew here."

"I... pour a cup..." Ming Ruo stretched out a finger to the Supreme Emperor.

"Sweet rice wine." Si Haochen added kindly.

Ming Ruo looked at Si Haochen full of resentment. There was no need to explain such an embarrassing thing.

"Hahaha." The Supreme Emperor said with a smile, "Then I'll give you two jars of Qinluxiang. The wine is very fragrant and not intoxicating."

"Thank you, the Supreme Emperor." Mingruo didn't know what kind of wine 'Qin Lu Xiang' was, but based on experience, what the Supreme Emperor gave him was absolutely extraordinary.

"Stingy!" Si Haochen obviously felt that the Supreme Emperor was being shortchanged.

"I only got five altars in total..." The Supreme Emperor thought for a moment, and then said with a pained expression on his face, "Three altars, no more! Xiao Haizi, quickly bring him wine and send him away!"

"Old slave, let's go now." Eunuch Hai felt that his hands and feet were stronger after taking the 'Zhu Yan Dan'.

"By the way, bring some jars of Golden Stem Dew and Autumn Dew White." Si Haochen asked.

"Okay." Eunuch Hai took people down to the wine cellar to move the wine.

The Supreme Emperor looked at Mingruo with a smile: "The princess from Xiliang who came this time is said to admire your husband very much."

The little gossip radar in Mingruo's head immediately turned on: "Are you beautiful?"

"It is said that she is a beauty." The Emperor looked like he was watching a good show.

"Your Majesty, you look like a bad person when you smile like that." Mingruo told the truth.

"Uh..." This girl is too honest.

"Let's go." Si Haochen saw that Eunuch Hai had already packed the wine and put it on the shoulder cart.

"Let's go, let's go!" The Supreme Emperor said like he was shooing away flies.

The two of them boarded the shoulder cart, and Si Haochen winked at Mingruo. Mingruo opened the bamboo box and put the wine inside into the space. These wine jars are very small, and each jar can only hold two or three kilograms of wine.

.

The two of them went to Changchun Palace to visit Concubine Shen. They happened to catch up with Concubine Shen to rest, but still saw no one.

When Mingruo and Si Haochen arrived at the Qianqiu Hall where the banquet was being held, the hall was already bustling with people. Everyone bowed when they saw the two, and Si Haochen took Mingruo and sat down at their seats.

The prince sitting opposite took the newly married prince and came forward to say hello.

"No courtesy." Si Haochen nodded slightly.

"My nephew is getting married just as the emperor's uncle is on an envoy to Xikang. Today I brought Qingqing to serve tea to the emperor's uncle and his aunt." The prince and the legitimate daughter of the right prime minister served tea to Si Haochen and Ming Ruo respectively.

Fortunately, when I went to a jewelry workshop to look at crystal tea sets a few days ago, Mingruo picked out a few pairs of bracelets and planned to give them away.

Mingruo calmly took out a brocade box from his 'sleeve pocket': "Qingqing should wear these bracelets and play with them."

"Thank you Aunt Yunhuang." Zuo Qingqing took the brocade box respectfully.

The prince thought that this meeting gift was specially prepared by Aunt Emperor Yun for the Crown Princess, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He knew that Uncle Yun Emperor treated him the most affectionately.

After the prince and princess returned to their seats, Si Haochen leaned over to Mingruo and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​preparing a gift for the prince?"

"Ahem." Mingruo said seriously, "Don't I look like a well-rounded mistress of the palace?"

"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded honestly.

"You." Mingruo clenched her fist.

"The mistress has to take care of the accounts. When you get back, Butler Zhou will give you all the account books in the house." Si Haochen's lips curved into a slight smile.

"Husband, please let me go. Just let me be an idle fish." Mingruo had no interest in being in charge of the middle school. "I just put the bracelet in a random place and forgot to give it away..."

Mingruo showed a good attitude that I have fully confessed and asked for leniency.

Princess Ningping came over when she saw that no one was hanging out at Prince Yun's table.

He bowed to Si Haochen in a proper manner first, and then sat down next to Mingruo: "Sister-in-law Jiuhuang, my mother and I both like the souvenir you sent us. I wanted to go to the palace to say thank you, but my mother said you

I have just come back and I must be busy with a lot of things, so let me wait a while before adding more trouble, hehe."

"I've been really busy these days. When we have some free time, let's go to Jian Mingxuan to listen to a book." Mingruo took out a brocade box from his 'sleeve pocket' and handed it to Princess Ningping, "This is for you."

"Can I open it now?" Princess Ningping asked, holding the brocade box.

"Of course." Mingruo nodded.

Princess Ningping opened the brocade box, and inside was a pair of blue crystal bracelets: "Wow, thank you Sister-in-law of Nine Emperors, crystal jewelry is my favorite."

"Just like it." Mingruo picked up a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth.

"I'll put them on now." Princess Ningping took off the jade bracelets from her wrists, put on the pair of crystal bracelets, and shook her wrists, "It's so beautiful. Thank you, Sister-in-law of the Nine Emperors."

The two girls were whispering about what they had seen in Xikang, and the eunuch outside the palace sang loudly: "The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, the queen has arrived, Concubine Qian has arrived..."

The Qianqiu Palace instantly became quiet. Everyone stood up and saluted. Zhang Jinliang said in a cadence: "Sit flat~"

Everyone gathered at the table one after another, and the envoys from Xiliang and Nanling also entered the palace. Xiliang and Nanling had sent tributes at the court meeting, Xiliang brought wine and horses to the palace, and Nanling sent tributes of various clothing materials.

At this time, Princess Xiliang came forward holding a brocade box: "This gem phoenix crown is inlaid with a total of 1,350 gems of various colors. I wish the Queen Mother a long and prosperous life."

"Okay." Queen Mother Qian smiled and nodded, "What is your name?"

"Empress Dowager, my name is Ayina." Ayina was wearing a red dress with many small silver bells hanging on the skirt. The bells jingled very playfully when she walked.

"The princess of Xiliang is really lively." Empress Dowager Qian said with a smile.

Mingruo felt that Ayina's facial contour was more three-dimensional and quite exotic, so she smiled at Si Haochen and said, "Princess Ayina is very beautiful."

Si Haochen said with a straight face: "I didn't see it."

"It's just that her eyes are bigger, but there's nothing else to look at..." Princess Ningping obviously isn't interested in exotic customs either.

"..." Mingruo felt that the two people's aesthetics were different.

Prince Nanling also sent a birthday gift, which was two pieces of glazed gauze. It didn't look like much, probably only one or two feet.

Queen Mother Qian was very happy. It seemed that the glazed gauze was more popular with her than the gem phoenix crown.

Mingruo turned his attention to Prince Nanling. When he sat down, the "counselor" who accompanied the prince sat down before the prince. Prince Nanling was not displeased at all and was very polite to the "counselor".

Ming Ruo scratched his chin. The counselor's face was very ordinary, but his words and deeds carried the aura of a superior. If the two of them changed positions, he would be more like a prince.

The man seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and turned his head suddenly. Mingruo's senses were very sensitive now, and before he looked over, he had already lost his sight.
