The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 204 The Crane (2)
This cake is fruit flavored and not greasy, it is very popular with the officials, even Huangfutian praised it repeatedly.

Anyone with eyes can tell that Su Ling must have won this game. Look at the others, who dare to ask the emperor to sit down, but Su Ling not only dares, but also makes the emperor very happy when he comes down. This is her success. factor out.

"Miss Su is talented, but she won't just use such a thing as a birthday gift, isn't this perfunctory Your Majesty!" The queen looked at Concubine De's smiling face, and felt so much hatred in her heart, which would transfer the hatred to Su Ling On the body, if Su Ling didn't make this kind of cake, then the emperor would not go down, and Concubine De would not have the opportunity to be with the emperor.See, when a mindless person does something wrong, he will never choose to blame himself. Instead, he will blindly blame others. Why doesn't the queen think about why Su Ling came to the birthday banquet? Was it voluntary?She was also forced to participate, okay?

When the empress said this, Princess Dongyi was the first to agree. She couldn't see Su Ling showing his prestige on the stage. It would be nice for someone to clean her up for her, but I don't know how she offended the empress. Obviously, everyone I can feel the Queen's hostility towards Miss Su.

The ministers below, especially those from the Queen's Party, of course would not let go of such an opportunity to please the Queen, so they all echoed, even if they didn't want to please the Queen, they still wanted to know how the Su family was doing. Both hands showed great expectations.

"Gifts are not expensive, but caring. Your Majesty is the proud son of heaven. You can get what you want. It would be tacky to give some gold, silver and jewelry. The cake just now can only be regarded as one of the birthday gifts I gave to His Majesty. Of course, there are others. Someone, bring up my birthday present." Su Ling said.

Huangfutian observed the little girl from the side, and he really thought it was pretty good, she was able to remain calm in the face of such a situation, and she spoke with reason, but she really didn't come from the countryside. It seems that the Su family can It's really a great place, otherwise sweet potatoes were discovered, which solved the problem of people's hunger.

After Xuanyuan Mo sent the eunuch to follow Su Ling to take the order, he ordered people to carry the box up. Not long after, he saw a few servants carefully carrying a big box. The material was ordinary, and there were not many present. Personally, I can see that these people were born rich and honored. Such things, let alone packed in boxes, are almost as good as firewood.

"Okay, put it down and be careful."

Su Ling stood in front, directing carefully, lest these people accidentally break the contents inside, those adults who were no longer interested just now were distracted by the sound, and rushed over again.

"Miss Su, what is this?" Concubine De is obviously very interested in the contents of this box. She doesn't want the queen. She is usually gentle and kind, and has always been known for her virtues. It can be seen from the fact that the girl can please the emperor that she will not be so simple, so at this moment she is also looking forward to what kind of gifts this little girl can give.

As for the emperor, he was actually very anxious, and wanted to know what was in the box. What those people just sent were nothing more than gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. Intuitively, he felt that this little girl's gift would not disappoint him.

And Princess Dongyi below stared at the big box that was covered, wishing to poke a hole out of it.Naturally, she is also very eager to know what Su Ling sent. Their Dongyi gift hasn't been delivered yet. Now that she looked at it, she didn't find anyone whose gift was better than theirs, so she didn't want anyone What variables appear.

"The girl will open it now." Su Ling was very tactful and didn't let the emperor open it personally. First of all, she knew that it was impossible. The box is so big. If there is an assassin in it, she will She didn't know how she died. Second, she knew that it was impossible for the emperor to agree to open it himself. Even though he was very curious in his heart, since ancient times emperors were suspicious, it was impossible for him to put himself in a dangerous position, and it was impossible for him to do so. Thirdly, she knew that the officials present would prevent the emperor from opening the box in person, so she could only open it by herself.

Su Ling walked over and lifted the curtain covering the box.

I saw the bright silver flower passing through the clouds, and all the light seemed to be concentrated in that small piece of heaven and earth. In the middle of the big box, the crane beast stood impressively in it, with a long mouth, long neck, and long feet. The back end of the flying feathers is black, the whole body is snow-white, and the posture of fluttering wings makes her whole body look like snow. The vermilion top of her head seems to be inlaid with high-quality rubies. , white and flawless, noble and holy, it reminds people of the holy things in the sky.

"What is this?" asked someone who had never seen it before.

"If it has wings, it is a bird. What kind of bird is it?"

"You ask me who I'm asking, it's the first time I've seen you today."

There is no such bird or beast in Dongyi country, so Princess Dongyi has never seen a red-crowned crane, and she doesn't know the significance of the red-crowned crane. Even if the people present know that it is a kind of bird and beast, they don't understand why Su Ling sent one Beasts are a gift to His Majesty.

Princess Dongyi stood up from her seat, walked to the front of the stage, glanced at Su Ling, who was unpredictable, and praised a few times: "Miss Su is really well-informed, it seems that today's trip is worthwhile Well, this is the first time I've seen this thing, and I'm just as curious as Mr. Lie if it's used as the emperor's birthday gift, whether it contains any deep meaning." If you ask this question, don't you Su Ling say So come on, will all the adults present let you go!What do you mean, good birthday banquet, you give a beast as a birthday gift.

"Chussy and graceful, with delicate fairy bones, a little cinnabar on the head, clear frost and plain feathers, clean and flawless. Living in shallow water, strolling in the courtyard, out of the deep valley, spreading its wings to Qixia, this name is the red-crowned crane, which is the legendary crane."

"Crane?"

The crowd exploded, you look at me, I look at you, looking confused.

"Noble and holy, with outstanding celestial appearance, the crane really lives up to its reputation." Concubine De also echoed.

"You said it was a crane?" the emperor asked back, yes!The emperor is in a high position, but anyone who can connect with the gods in the sky is a blessed person.He was also very excited when he heard Su Ling say that it was a crane.

"Yes, it is recorded in ancient books that under one bird, above ten thousand birds, its status is second only to the phoenix. The crane is a very noble bird among birds. It is said that she has a lifespan of thousands of years. She is a long-lived, wealthy In addition, she also has the meaning of happiness and auspiciousness."

"If you say you have it, you have it. I see that you obviously don't have something to sell. You are here to yell at people here. You dare to call a bird or beast a crane. Isn't this trying to bluff Your Majesty? There is no such thing at all." Keep your Majesty's birthday in mind." Princess Dongyi yelled, the ministers around her really wanted to shut her mouth at this moment, you said a foreign princess, and no one from her own country has yet denounced that this gift is inappropriate. Why are you messing around here!It doesn't do you any good either.
