Chapter 223 Gift
Ye Yunshui breathed a sigh of relief. When she told Qin Murong the idea of ​​using silver thread to embroider Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager, Qin Murong nodded in agreement but was not optimistic.

Because this idea has too many variables, one of the variables is whether someone will pick that she uses silver thread instead of gold thread, although Ye Yunshui knew early on that the Empress Dowager doesn't like silver objects.

But Ye Yunshui has always believed that she can succeed, because no one in this room seems to want to see her proud except the Queen Mother, including Concubine Wen Gui, who has never spoken, and looks at her with disdain.

But as soon as this matter is involved, Ye Yunshui will have more and more room for display in the future!

The Empress Dowager remained silent all this time, looking at the Concubine Wang, and only after a while did she say, "He is indeed a good hand in running the family rigorously!" I didn't even feel that the Queen Mother was praising her.

"Empress Dowager Mingjian, I didn't know that Concubine Ye Fang wanted to embroider this picture of Buddhist scriptures and medicinal food with silver thread, which violated the strict teaching of the Empress Dowager as a courtier and concubine, and please take care of the phoenix body, don't get angry because of such things!" Concubine Wang stood up and explained, but this made Ye Yunshui go in again. What does it mean that she is not strict in discipline?It means that Ye Yunshui is also involved in punishing her?

"Hmph, how can you be disciplined by a concubine?" The queen mother said very harshly, "Take care of yourself when you have time, and don't smear the reputation of the palace all day long!"

Concubine Wang was scolded in such a public manner, she couldn't hide the grievance on her face, and her lips were trembling, not knowing how to reply.

Ye Yunshui was very gloating in his heart. I am afraid that the queen mother is the only one who can call the concubine the concubine a concubine in public?
"It's such a big palace to support a few more people, but still aggressively forcing others to pay for their own money, don't feel ashamed to panic! Prince Zhuang's mansion is not short of those two coins, so you don't need to be so frugal. You are digging money between your teeth, what is the face of the prince? What is the face of the big palace? He is the only younger brother of the emperor, why do you want to face him?" What the Queen Mother was talking about was the side concubine and Ye Yunshui. Ye Yunshui was not surprised at all that she wanted to raise the money of those sixteen dancers. Nanny Song, the head of "Shuiqing Garden", belonged to the Empress Dowager, and she was not afraid that the Empress Dowager would not know about any grievances she suffered.

However, the Queen Mother's words on the line are extremely ruthless, and it is almost a crime of treason for the side concubine Wang!

Concubine Wang didn't dare to say a word, and said that today is the Queen Mother's birthday, even if it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have the guts to contradict one or two, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow the matter to her stomach!
The queen mother pointed to the royal palace gift list sent by the concubine Wang, "The original amount is counted as Mu Rong's property, and Concubine Ye will take care of it. Take good care of yourself and give birth to a grandson for the Ai family. Don't let the Ai family treat you badly." Hope, otherwise the Ai family will have a debt with you!"

"My maid will obey the Empress Dowager's order, and will never disappoint the Empress Dowager!" Ye Yunshui quickly kowtowed, and the Empress asked two maids to help her, "Come to Ai's house to accompany Ai's house, you don't need to kowtow today! "

"My concubine, thank the Empress Dowager for your kindness!" As they said, the two maids helped Ye Yunshui to stand by the Empress Dowager's right hand.

Everyone from the queen to the concubines looked at Ye Yunshui a few more times in astonishment. The empress dowager's praise for her is comparable to anyone else!

Ye Yunshui felt a fiery gaze looking at her, but she raised her eyes and peeked at a young and handsome woman who was attacked by the empress. Seeing her attire...it should be the princess.

Ye Yunshui withdrew his gaze, and stayed there with a low eyebrow.

The queen saw that the atmosphere just now was very bad, and the birthday celebration had to continue, so she smoothed things over and said: "Look, you made the queen mother angry again, but it's because you love the son of the world from the bottom of your heart, my lord." Concubines are very envious, but today is your good day, and there are so many people waiting for birthday wishes outside? You can't waste their filial piety, can you?"

The Empress Dowager nodded, and the Empress signaled the other female family members of the palace to step back and take a rest, and successively announced the wives according to their grades to come in to pay their respects, and the congratulatory gifts were sent in like flowing water. Yes, the Empress Dowager smiled at most, but the one next to her didn't even show a smile.

Concubine Wang's face was very ugly. Ye Yunshui could feel her anger at the height of her anger when she was standing so far away from her. All the gifts sent were rewarded to the second room, no doubt it was not a disguised slap in the face of the side concubine Wang, but also a warning to Prince Zhuang that with her in one day, no one can shake Qin Murong's status!
However, Ye Yunshui is very clear about the queen mother's physical condition. In addition, when he looked at the queen mother's face from a distance just now, Ye Yunshui can see that she is still trying to maintain her honor and glory. She will not be able to protect Qin Murong for a long time. , There is not much time left for them.

Although the Queen Mother didn't make it clear just now, Ye Yunshui could understand what she meant. The key to everything now lies in the child in Ye Yunshui's womb. If it is a baby boy, Qin Murong can be accepted as the Duke. If it is not... then the change will be very big I am afraid that even the Empress Dowager will be powerless to bring up the position of son again.

In this era, sons and heirs explain everything!
Ye Yunshui patted her belly calmly, and in a month she would know that it would be a boy or a girl... Her future destiny lies in this!

From Mrs. First Grade to Mrs. Fifth Grade paid respects to the Empress Dowager one after another, Ye Yunshui couldn't help feeling the strength of the Empress Dowager's relatives.

The Empress Dowager has four brothers in total. Among them, Duke Zhen Qi Zhongxiao is the Empress Dowager's nephew, who stays in Nieliang City to serve the Empress Dowager all the time. The descendants of the other three brothers are also enshrined as marquises and generals, and sit in important military locations of the Great Moon Kingdom. , Empress Dowager’s birthday, I left for Nieliang a few months in advance, but except for Zhen Guogong, the other four brothers were all visited by female relatives, and the three brothers and nephew were ordered by the Empress Dowager not to leave their guarded places for half a step !

Although it is fear of the Empress Dowager's birthday, the emptiness of the military forces in various places is afraid that Doro Kingdom will take advantage of it. On the way back to the country, assassinations and ambushes will continue. It is not certain whether he can come back alive or not!

No wonder Emperor Ming Qi obeyed the Empress Dowager's words, because the Empress Dowager's words affected the safety of several important places... and the Empress Dowager was dying, but she still insisted on sitting in this hall to enjoy the congratulations from all directions. One piece of information, that is, her body is still strong, and she won't die anytime soon!
It's just a piece of information, but all forces in the court will definitely follow it... Ye Yunshui can already imagine how severe the change in the court will be when the Queen Mother dies one day!

Although she was so sure, Qin Murong seldom talked to her about the affairs in the court, she could only explore by feeling, and she had to make her own plans.

After congratulating the inner and outer wives, they retreated to the side hall, and Ye Yunshui stood behind her without getting the Queen Mother's order.

The banquet started, court officials came in one after another, they all paid homage to the Empress Dowager for a long life and waited for congratulatory speeches, the Empress Dowager only ordered a few things she was interested in and came forward to say a few words, among them was Qi Shan.

Qi Shan sent a golden statue made of pure gold that looked like the Empress Dowager, and eight eunuchs pushed a cart and pulled it in!

Ye Yunshui looked up curiously, Qi Shan was dressed very fancy today, with a bright red formal suit, a crown of feathers on his head, coupled with his pair of peach blossom eyes, looked extraordinarily festive, Ye Yunshui's mind suddenly popped up Two words: Fuwa!
And after seeing his golden statue, I couldn't help laughing, Qi Shan's congratulatory gift is really just one word: vulgar!Two words: rich!

The eight eunuchs were panting tiredly, and they were even more surprised how much gold the young master used to make such a golden statue?
The Queen Mother looked at it from ear to ear, "You little bastard, look at your father, that slanderous face, how much gold did you use to make this thing? It really looks like that..."

Ye Yunshui followed the Empress Dowager's gaze towards the crowd, and really saw a middle-aged man with slightly white hair twitching his mouth, looking at Qi Shan with an angry look. This old man may be Qi Zhongxiao, Duke of Zhen. up!

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, my nephew got the money by selling his property, not from his father! My nephew is a fool, I know that you like gold objects, Empress Dowager, and I have no other tricks, so I have to make a piece of gold for you. I just want to make you smile, and you will be healthy when you smile, and the filial piety of your grandnephew will not be in vain if you are healthy, and my grandnephew wish you a long life!" Qi Shan knelt down and kowtowed three heads, the queen mother really smiled , "It's hard for you to work so hard!"

"You are kind, Queen Mother, do you know if this birthday gift for your grandnephew is the most desirable to you? Anyway, if you give a few words of praise, your grandnephew will not be beaten when he returns home!" Qi Shan played tricks again, forcing the Queen Mother to praise him. Although showing off like this is a bit unruly and inappropriate in the eyes of others, Qi Shan fears that he is just smiling for the Empress Dowager Bo sincerely.

The queen mother laughed for a long while before she said: "It's okay to praise you, but although your birthday gift is expensive, it is not the most in line with the wishes of the Ai family!"

Qi Shan's face froze, "Who else suits you better than the gift from your grandnephew? The grandnephew is not convinced!"

The Queen Mother raised her hand, "Present the gift from Concubine Ye and show them what filial piety is!"

Qi Shan was taken aback for a moment, only to find that the small figure behind the queen mother was Ye Yunshui. Turning his gaze, he saw the Buddhist scriptures embroidered with silver thread on the silk cloth unfolded by the eunuchs, and the 64 medicinal recipes on the back. Surprised, no wonder Ye Yunshui avoided him last time when he asked about the medicinal recipe, and she refused to tell him after he asked for a long time, so she planned to present it to the Queen Mother!
And in this way, how dare the Herbal Cuisine Pavilion used by the Empress Dowager sell it to others?Her move is really ruthless!
