The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 38
Wei Yan's expression froze. He didn't take the crown prince's birthday seriously at first. Today, when he thought about it, Lay Jingxin sent a letter to remind him. Naturally, he didn't specially prepare the gift, "I..."

His Majesty in the inner hall had a complex expression, with a slight disappointment in his eyes.

The little eunuch next to him quickly handed over a box, "Your Highness, you forgot, this is a gift you specially prepared for His Royal Highness," Wei Yan glanced at him, and he was quite clever, something is better than nothing, and he took it Passed the box and handed it to the crown prince, "Hey, this is a gift prepared by elder brother for you."

Wei Sheng put Ah Fu's gift in his sleeve, and took the box, but his hands were small, and the box was quite heavy, so he couldn't hold it firmly, the box fell, and the ruby ​​rolled to the ground.

The eldest prince looked embarrassed, and Ah Fu was almost amused. A box of rubies is probably considered a huge treasure for ordinary people, but it is nothing to the aristocratic families in Beijing, let alone the quality of these gems. Top level, how can it be worthy of being the birthday gift of the prince, let alone what does it mean to give the prince a box of rubies.

The eldest prince glared at the eunuch next to him viciously, but the eunuch could do nothing about it, this box of rubies was originally given by the eldest prince to his concubine, and the eunuch had this box on his body as a birthday present, and it is generally not face-to-face Look, who knows what a gift is, who wants to overturn it.

Wei Yan kicked the eunuch to the ground, "You're blind, you can't even hold a box right, what use are you for?"

The little eunuch got up and knelt down, crying with snot and tears on his face, "It's all the slave's fault, it's all because the slave is too stupid." While talking, he slapped himself. He didn't use much strength, but the eunuch still has a little bit of trouble for these things. The trick is, my face turned red after a few strokes.

Wei Sheng didn't feel happy or unhappy, he didn't care about other gifts at first, but the little eunuch's head hurt from crying, "Put it away, it's a lonely hand shaking." He nodded at the eldest prince, "It's okay, it's okay. Good." I didn't care anyway.

Wei Sheng watched the performance of the eldest prince's master and servant very disappointed, and shook his head. He didn't think of brotherhood, and the remedy after the accident was simply stupid. The eldest prince went out of the palace to build a mansion. Wei Sheng originally planned to be a prince, after all He is the eldest son, and now it seems that he has silently changed to the king of the county in his heart, but the prince is kind and magnanimous at a young age, very demeanor. Thinking about it this way, there is some comfort.

The eldest prince's expression was very displeased. He felt that he had lost face in front of the prince, and the prince must be looking down on him. He casually cupped his hands, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Ah Fu pouted unhappily, "Who is he, I don't like him at all."

The maid lifted the curtain, Wei Sheng came out from the inner hall, just in time to hear Ah Fu complaining, Ah Fu was caught by his father for speaking ill of others, she thought for a while and slowly covered her mouth, blinking her big eyes Yes, bowing his head in a gesture of repentance, Wei Sheng wanted to warn her not to gossip about people behind their backs, but was amused by her, reached out and picked up the two children, put them on a chair and sat down, and nodded her nose, "Ah Fu, what are you doing?" She's so cute, stay in the palace, and have dinner and class with Ah Yi."

Ah Fu shook his head, "No way."

"Why not? Ah Fu doesn't like Uncle, Aunt, Little Huomiao?" Wei Sheng deliberately teased her, and Little Huomiao looked at Ah Fu expectantly.

"Ah Fu likes it, but Ah Fu only gets cuter every day when he goes home at night."

"Huh?" Wei Sheng didn't understand Ah Fu's train of thought.

"Everyone praises Ah Fu for being cute, so Ah Fu can become cute. When I went home at night, my father and brother praised me for being cute many times." Ah Fu said seriously.

Wei Sheng was completely amused, so he didn't mention this kind of thing anymore, Xiao Huomiao pursed his lips, a little disappointed.

Just kidding, Wei Sheng still wants to teach Ah Fu, "Ah Fu, do you know what's wrong?"

"Ah Fu knows." Ah Fu nodded obediently.

"Well, talking behind your back is not what a gentleman does."

"Well, Dad said that when you sit quietly, you should always think about your own faults, and don't gossip about other people's faults when you are chatting."

"Ah Fu is great, that's why."

Little Huomiao is a big fan of her cousin, and she also cheered from the side, "Ah Fu is the best."

"So I won't tell him behind his back in the future, I'll tell him directly." Ah Fu said seriously, and nodded to increase his credibility.

Wei Sheng was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He rubbed Ah Fu's head, "Okay, you have style, we little Ah Fu will tell them face to face in the future."

Hehe, Princess Anle's rampant behavior later on, not saving face for others, turned out to have laid the foundation at this time.

The queen sits at the dresser.

She said softly: "The powder should be thicker..."

Ruixiu felt a pain in her heart, the queen has always been sick these few years, even if her health improved a few days, she was still mentally weak.

She didn't mention this sad thing, and just put on her makeup quickly.

"I want to report to the empress, the old lady and the fourth lady have arrived and are waiting outside."

"Call in, and wait in the west conservatory."

"Greetings to the Empress."

"Excuse me, we are all a family, get up quickly."

"My son, why are you losing weight again?" The old lady touched the queen's hand.

"I haven't lost weight, it's just that I haven't been in a good mood these two days." The queen also missed her mother very much, she responded softly.

"Is this the fourth sister Tiantian? Last time I saw her, she was still a little girl?" The queen took off the bracelet on her wrist and handed it to her. This girl is her own younger sister. The queen still likes it.

The old lady sent Wang Tian away, "This child is talking about looking at the embroidered screens in the palace, so let your lady-in-law lead her there."

The queen knew that her mother was going to send her sister away, she smiled and nodded, "Go, let Zhu Yun lead you to see."

"This child is also out of luck. Two years ago, we had to make a marriage agreement. As a result, your grandfather passed away, and the observance of filial piety was delayed. Now he is nineteen. The empress will help you to find a good husband."

The queen nodded, "Mother, don't worry, I will naturally take care of my sister's affairs, and I'll ask someone to inquire later."

"Then I'll trouble you, ma'am."

"I have one more thing to tell my mother today..."
