Qingzhi rolled her eyes at Qingdai helplessly and said, "This is the Queen Mother's birthday gift. You must have thought of it."

"What's the matter with giving this?" Qingdai said plausibly: "The Queen Mother has never seen any good things. The most important thing is her heart. The facial cleansing incense and body purifying incense used by the master are all made by the master. Who can compare with this kind of heart?

"

"If it really doesn't work, wouldn't it be okay if Master gives me ten fragrant pills?"

"Go, go, don't make trouble." Qingzhi said, "If you come up with some bad ideas, the master should write to the old lady and let her think of a solution."

After all, the master is also a girl from the Hou family. If he gave the Queen Mother a birthday gift inappropriately, it would not only bring shame to the master himself, but also the face of the Hou family.

Furthermore, whether it is the Marquis or the imperial concubine, they all hope that their master will be favored now, and they will definitely not shirk this matter.

Lu Wanning listened to the end of the argument between the two of them and then said: "I think Qingdai is right. The Queen Mother has never seen anything good. The birthday gifts that the Hou Mansion can search for, even if they are precious, are only average at best. It is better to give them to

The Queen Mother has a gift that reflects her feelings."

Qingzhi was a little hesitant, "Master, you don't really want to give the Queen Mother the body incense and facial cleansing incense that you use, do you?"

Lu Wanning shook his head, "Of course not."

Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this was not a gift.

Lu Wanning continued: "The Queen Mother is a Buddhist, and I plan to embroider a scroll of the Diamond Sutra as a birthday gift for the Queen Mother."

Lu Wanning actually wanted to hand-copy a copy of the Avatamsaka Sutra and give it to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift, but she really couldn't get the calligraphy right. Fortunately, her embroidery skills were good, so she embroidered a volume of Buddhist scriptures with her own hands and gave it to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift.

It can be considered as a shot.

It's just that the entire volume of the Avatamsaka Sutra is too long, and she couldn't finish it even if she stayed awake for more than a month. As for the Diamond Sutra, the full text is only 5,000 words. At her speed, it's relatively easy to finish it in more than a month.

Besides, after the Queen Mother's birthday, it was the Emperor's birthday, and she had to prepare the birthday gift for the Emperor.

Qingzhi and Qingdai both nodded at the same time, "Master, this is a good idea. Master, do you want to start embroidering now? The slaves will help the master prepare things."

"Let's start embroidering now." Lu Wanning said.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. As soon as possible, she can finish embroidering the Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother and think about the birthday gift for the emperor.

For the next period of time, Lu Wanning concentrated on preparing the birthday gift for the Queen Mother. She went to greet the Queen Mother every day and then returned to Linglong Pavilion to embroider her Buddhist scriptures.

Fortunately, she doesn't sweat easily, otherwise she might not be able to hold the needle even if she sweats while doing embroidery work in this summer.

After hurrying slowly, Lu Wanning finally finished embroidering a Diamond Sutra at the end of July.

After stretching her sore wrist, Lu Wanning handed the embroidered scripture to Qingzhi and said, "Put it away."

Qingzhi took the scripture and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely keep it properly."

"Yes." Lu Wanning responded, and suddenly remembered the lotus flowers that had not been harvested before, so she asked Qingdai: "Are the lotus flowers in Wenxin Lake still blooming?"

Qingdai nodded and said: "There are still, but there are relatively few that are still open now, and most of them have failed."

Lu Wanning's interest was not diminished and she said: "The dead lotus leaves also have a special flavor. Let's go and have a look."

Lu Wanning originally thought that no one would be around Wenxin Lake at this time, but she didn't expect that Lu Wanning heard the sound of pipa from far away, and there was a touch of sadness in the sound of pipa.

Lu Wanning thought for a while, stopped, turned around and said to Qingzhi and Qingdai: "Forget it, let's go. It seems that I won't be lucky enough to enjoy the lotus this year."

Qingzhi and Qingdai both heard the sound of the pipa and followed Lu Wanning without saying anything.

After returning to Linglong Pavilion, Qingdai went out to inquire about it, and found out that the emperor and Zheng Meiren were admiring lotus flowers at Wenxin Lake.

Qing Dai said to Lu Wanning with some regret: "If I had known that the emperor was there, my master should have gone there."

Lu Wanning smiled and said nothing. Zheng Meiren was being favored now. As long as Zheng Meiren was there, it would be of no use even if she went there.

On this day, as expected, it was Beauty Zheng who attended the bed again.

Now, among the group of people who entered the palace, it was Zheng Meiren who was the most favored, followed by Qu Cairen, and then Cui Jieyu. As for the one who was the first to win the favor and stayed with her for five days, she was the most favored.

Weng Jieyu has become a passing thing like the other newcomers who were forgotten by the emperor after serving him once.

Of course, the worst thing is Lu Wanning, who has never slept with her once before.

Lu Wanning thought that she had avoided the Emperor and Zheng Meiren at a distance and went to Wenxin Lake. Who knew that when she went to pay her respects to the Queen the next day, Zheng Meiren had heard from somewhere that she had gone to Wenxin Lake yesterday.

He even brought it up to talk about.

"I heard that Sister Lu went to Wenxin Lake to enjoy lotus flowers yesterday. Did she know that the Emperor and I were at Wenxin Lake and then turned back?"

Lu Wanning smiled and said: "I didn't know it was Miss Zheng and you and the emperor admiring lotuses at Wenxin Lake. I just thought it was someone who was in a bad mood and was playing the pipa to express his sorrow, so I stayed away. If

If I had known that it was Miss Zheng and you and the Emperor admiring the lotuses, I might have gone to join in the fun."

Cui Jieyu on the side heard this, snorted coldly and said: "You are very straightforward. You are afraid that others will not know what you are thinking, so you still say it in such a big way."

Lu Wanning blinked, looked directly at Cui Jieyu and said, "What Cui Jieyu said is interesting, what did I say?"

"Stop pretending here, do I still need to say this?" Cui Jieyu said disdainfully.

Lu Sunning shook her head, "Cui Jieyu, are you trying to play riddles with me? It's a pity that you and I don't have such a good tacit understanding. I really can't understand your unclear words. If Cui Jieyu doesn't mind, you can do it again in the future.

Please speak more clearly."

"You..." Cui Jieyu has always been impatient. She opened her mouth to scold Lu Wanning, but when she saw the imperial concubine walking in, she stopped bitterly.

She is not afraid of offending an unfavored Lu beauty, but she does not yet have the courage to confront a noble concubine.

Not long after the concubine arrived, the queen also came.

Recently, the Queen was busy preparing for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. After the routine greetings, she sent everyone away directly.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, the imperial concubine stopped Lu Wanning at the intersection and asked her, "Have you prepared the birthday gift for the Queen Mother?"

Lu Wanning said: "I am still making preparations."

"What have you prepared?" the imperial concubine said, "If you really don't have anything good there, I can prepare it for you. You must not randomly pick up anything."

He looked very worried.
