"Let's go back first!" Wang Min thought for a while and decided that it was better to find out what Murong Bo wanted to do first. If he really wanted to harm Feng Mingwei, then she could just help her solve it in private, as a favor to her.
On the day of the Queen's birthday, there was no big event, but several princes, princesses, princesses, consorts and concubines were present.
Except the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not attend.
Although the emperor didn't like the queen, because of the drugging incident, he was extremely disgusted with her, but considering that she was still the queen, he wanted to set a good example of love between husband and wife to his children.
He could only bear to attend.
When Queen Chen saw the emperor coming, she was naturally very happy and said, "Your Majesty, you are here. I thought you would not forgive me."
Murong Shen had no expression on his face and raised his hand to help her up, "Queen, please get up! I know you were also confused for a moment. You can correct your mistakes if you know them. Just don't make them again in the future."
Empress Chen looked touched and wiped her tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I know I was wrong and will never do such a stupid thing again."
"Okay, don't cry, the children are still watching!" Murong Shen said calmly.
Queen Chen wiped her tears and sat down, "Your Majesty, why didn't Concubine Jin come?"
The emperor's face suddenly darkened, "Concubine Jin is pregnant and can't see. Why, you still want her to come to celebrate your birthday, right?"
Queen Chen's heart suddenly became cold. This man valued a concubine so much but didn't want to look at her as a wife. Her heart was filled with hatred, but there was a look of fear on her face, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant, concubine."
I think Concubine Jin is pregnant, and today is a day for family reunion, which can be said to be a double happiness. It is rare that all the children are here, and I, like her, can also feel the atmosphere of reunion."
The queen was humble, but she didn't do anything too extreme to be reprimanded loudly.
Emperor Beiwu's expression softened, "Next time! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now that Concubine Jin is inconvenient, I didn't let her come."
Queen Chen nodded, "I understand."
"Well, let's serve it!"
Emperor Beiwu was too lazy to say any more, and waited until everyone was seated before letting people serve the food.
There was singing and dancing while eating, and after the singing and dancing it was time to give gifts.
The King of Qin, the eldest princess and others presented birthday gifts first.
The other princes follow in order.
When they arrived at Prince Lie's Mansion, they came forward together with gifts and presented them, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother live as long as Nanshan."
The gift was prepared by Murong Xiao, but Feng Mingwei didn't even look at it. She didn't know what it was, but it was just in a box.
The queen smiled happily and said: "I am very much looking forward to what gifts Xiao Qi can prepare. I will take a good look at them later."
The idea is to put things away first and wait until others have finished giving gifts before opening them.
After all the other concubines had given gifts, the queen said softly: "Your Majesty, I am really curious about what gifts the children have given. Can you open one with me and have a look?"
Today is her birthday. In front of so many children, Emperor Beiwu did not refuse this small wish, "Okay, then Queen, choose one, and I will open it with you."
Queen Chen looked very happy and glanced at Feng Mingwei, "Then the gift prepared by King Lie and Princess Lie together, I just saw it was a brocade box, it should be very mysterious."
I don’t understand what the queen is going to do. Why does she suddenly act like a little woman and open gifts in public?
Could it be that she wanted to attract the emperor's attention? It was really a painstaking effort, but she was still pretending to be young despite her age, which was a bit intolerable.
There won't be any surprises in their gifts, and it's impossible for Murong Xiao to prepare anything good for her.
Just let her play however she wants!
The little eunuch found the brocade box sent by King Lie among a pile of gifts, took it out and presented it to the emperor and empress.
Queen Chen looked at the man and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's open it together!"
"Yes!" Emperor Beiwu nodded lightly.
The two of them opened it together, and inside the brocade box was just a string of Buddhist beads.
Queen Chen's smile froze, and she looked at the contents of the brocade box, with a cold look in her eyes, as if what could be a Buddhist bead?
It seems that there should be something else in the brocade box.
It just disappointed her, there was no unexpected "surprise" in the gift.
She immediately glanced at Princess Qin.
Yang Qingrong didn't know what was going on, so she forced a smile and said, "The gift prepared by the seventh brother and sister is really good. I think these beads must have been blessed."
Feng Mingwei touched her nose and said, "As long as the queen likes it."
What kind of consecration? She thought it was funny and didn’t understand what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were doing in private?
Murong Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile without conscience: "It is indeed a blessing. I hope the queen will like this gift."
