Princess Jin is as happy as the East China Sea

Chapter 31

On the day of March 29, Emperor Zhao's noble concubine woke up early. Since the day before yesterday, all kinds of gifts had been brought to Zhaoyang Palace, and the servants up and down were all very busy.

As the daughter-in-law of Emperor Zhaohuang, Chu Lanxi went to Zhaoyang Palace early in the morning, while Murong Yinli and Emperor Li went directly to Zhaoyang Palace after the morning court, and Emperor Zhao, because today is her birthday, So there is no need to greet the queen.

Concubine Zhaohuang was holding a piece of high-quality suet white jade pendant in her hand, and she was touching and looking at it carefully. Chu Lanxi learned from Murong Yinli that the concubine Zhao's favorite is all kinds of flowers besides lotus. Jade, especially suet white jade is the worst.

Concubine Zhaohuang was very happy in her heart, seeing how Chu Lanxi liked it, she immediately put on the jade pendant.

Chu Lanxi saw that the imperial concubine Zhaohuang put the jade pendant on, and said with a smile: "If the concubine wears it, does it mean that she likes the gift from her daughter-in-law?"

Concubine Zhao Huang looked at Chu Lanxi, "Yes, you girl, I liked you as soon as I saw it, even with the things you gave me."

Chu Lanxi smiled as if picking up a treasure: "It turns out that the mother and concubine are Ai Wu Ji Wu, what a daughter-in-law's honor."

"The empress is here~" the eunuch outside the door shouted loudly, and Chu Lanxi and the imperial concubine Zhao quickly stood up to greet the empress.

"I have seen the empress (mother queen)." The two bowed their knees and said in unison.

After glancing at the two, the queen said slowly, "Get up." She walked slowly to the main seat and sat down.

"Thank you, Queen Mother (mother queen)."

The queen just nodded, and then raised the corners of her lips to look at the imperial concubine Zhaohuang, "Today is the imperial concubine's Qianqiu Festival, and I don't have anything good to give away. The previous one got a painting, which is the lotus flower that the imperial concubine loves." , I will give it to you as a birthday present, I hope you don't dislike it."

Concubine Zhao looked overwhelmed by flattery, she stood up and put Wei Weifu on the empress's side, "The empress's things are naturally good things, and the concubine is lucky to get all the blessings of the concubine."

The queen nodded with a smile, as if she was very satisfied with her compliment, looked at Chu Lanxi again, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is Lanxi, I remember you when you were young, you were so cute back then, the more you Ze won't let go of you." When he said this, he took a special look at Emperor Zhao's face.

The Imperial Concubine Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Chu Lanxi's father was the prince's tutor, so it was fine for the prince to hug Chu Lanxi, and both of them were still children at that time.

"By the way, what did Lanxi send for my sister's birthday? How about showing it to me?" The queen smiled, her eyes lingering between Chu Lanxi and Zhaohuang noble concubine.

Although Zhaohuang Guifei was not happy in her heart, she still kept a smile on her face, took off the jade pendant she had just put on, and handed it to the queen herself.

The queen took it with her hand, looked at it carefully, and said after a while: "This jade pendant is so beautiful, the tentacles are warm, and there is no impurity in it." She raised her eyes to the imperial concubine Zhao, and said casually: " Last winter, Mrs. Chu gave me a silver fox cloak, the stitches are fine and neat, it is said that Mrs. Chu made it herself, I like it very much."

Shen Xianya seldom did anything herself in recent years. This is something that the entire harem knows. The queen said this to show that the Chu family treats the queen differently from other people.

My silver fox cloak was sewed by Chu Lanxi's mother herself, but who made your jade pendant?Moreover, Chu Mu is still my son's grand tutor, and he watched my son grow up, so his relationship must be better than other people's.She didn't believe that Imperial Concubine Zhao could feel better!

The imperial concubine Zhao heard what the queen meant, and knew that she wanted to alienate her relationship with Chu Lanxi, so she was not annoyed, after all, what people knew was only part of it.

How do you say something?Grasshoppers after autumn can't jump for a few days.

"The empress is the mother of the world. Naturally, this gift has to be made by myself to show sincerity. The concubine can only be envious." She kept a decent smile on her face.

When Chu Lanxi heard what Concubine Zhaohuang said, she didn't know what she was thinking.In fact, she really wanted to tell Concubine Zhao Huang that her mother did not actually make that silver fox cloak, because too much needlework was bad for eyes, so her father never allowed her mother to touch needlework anymore.

The queen returned the jade pendant to the imperial concubine Zhaohuang, who took a look at it and held it in her hand, but did not put it on again.

The queen sighed and said, "Lanxi, I heard from the crown prince that your mother likes plum blossoms. It just so happened that I was lucky enough to get two Biejiao Wanshui a few days ago. I will send them over later. When you leave the palace Take it, go back and give it to your mother."

Chu Lanxi stood up, blessed her body, and said with a smile: "Lanxi thanked the queen mother on behalf of the mother."

The queen nodded with a smile. She didn't believe that she couldn't be a nuisance to the imperial concubine Zhaohuang. These days she had enough glory, and it was time for her to feel bad for a few days.

The three of them chatted for a few more words before the queen left in satisfaction. The imperial concubine Zhaohuang and Chu Lanxi both breathed a sigh of relief, and their attitudes towards Chu Lanxi remained the same as before.

At first, Chu Lanxi was still a little confused, but the words of Concubine Zhao Huang made her not worry at all.

"She came here today just to create a estrangement between us. If we really do what she wants, wouldn't we have fallen for her tricks? Besides, I know Yaya's temperament, and I won't let go of these small things. In the heart."

Yaya?Is mother concubine calling my mother?Chu Lanxi said with some doubts: "Does my concubine know my mother?"

Concubine Zhaohuang nodded, and said with a smile: "Your mother and I have been friends for almost 30 years, and we are as good as one person. It's just that I entered the palace later, and your mother married Chu Mu. The walking around is much less. Perhaps because of my entering the palace, your mother disliked me so much and neglected me for many years! Even your father and Yinli don't know about this!"

In fact, she knew that Yaya was worried about her entry into the palace for her own good, and she would not attend every palace banquet, just because she didn't want to see her rob a man from many women in the palace.

The reason why she likes Chu Lanxi and that jade pendant is largely because of Shen Xianya.

Why can't she see that the queen's silver fox cloak is not made by her at all, and why doesn't she know that the jade pendant she wears is made by her.

It is because she likes jade that she learns how to carve jade. She always has her in her heart, and they have always been good sisters.

She just didn't know when she would finish her anger, she really missed the old days.

"Mother Concubine, my mother never told me about her past." Chu Lanxi's expression was very serious, she paused and then said: "But my mother has a habit, that is, every year someone in our family has a birthday My mother will cook by herself every day, but what I have never known is why my mother cooks by herself on March 29 every year. I think I should know the answer now."

Imperial Concubine Zhao was a little overwhelmed by flattery. This was an agreement she had made with Shen Xianya, that every year on the other party's birthday, she would personally cook a meal for the other party.She thought she was the only one who remembered it, but it turned out that she had always remembered it!

"This is an agreement between me and your mother. I didn't expect her to remember it." She said this slowly, her eyes already filled with tears.

Chu Lanxi pursed her lips, stepped forward and took the hand of Emperor Zhao's noble concubine, "Mother and Concubine, don't cry, otherwise, Father and Yinli will think that your daughter-in-law is bullying you when they see it."

Concubine Zhaohuang laughed out loud, reached out and tapped the tip of Chu Lanxi's nose, "You!"

"What are you two talking about?" Emperor Li and Murong Yinli walked in one after the other.

Concubine Zhaohuang hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, and then she greeted her with a smile, "I didn't talk about anything, I just asked her to give us a grandson as soon as possible."

Emperor Li nodded, and then said seriously to Murong Yinli: "You should work hard and try to let your mother and concubine and I have a grandson next year."

Murong Yinli stretched out her arms to hug Chu Lanxi, looked at Emperor Li and Concubine Zhao with a blank expression and said, "How long have we been married?" But the next sentence made Chu Lanxi want to find a way to get in , "But I have been working very hard."

She blushed and pinched the soft flesh around his waist, and warned him with her eyes.Murong Yinli just returned her a smile, then still calmly hugged her, chatting with Emperor Li and Concubine Zhao Huang by the way.
