The Queen Mother's birthday was approaching in the blink of an eye, but it did not affect Murong Xi's mood after leaving the palace at all. No, on the fifteenth day, she put on men's clothes and strolled to the hospital with Mo'er.
The shopkeeper saw Murong Xi and Mo'er and almost didn't recognize them. After looking at them for a long time, Murong Xi said, "Shopkeeper, you don't recognize them after you change into men's clothes?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Miss Mu, if you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed."
After entering the room, the shopkeeper took out the list. There were three patients on it. After Murong Xi looked at it, he let the shopkeeper make arrangements.
After diagnosing the pulse, Murong Xi went to the house where he went last time and picked up an original copy, planning to read it when he returned.
After she put the books away, she took Mo'er to Guiyun Pavilion.
The journey was very lively, and Mo'er said softly: "Miss, the man and woman in front of you are Xiao Jingyu, the eldest prince of Northern Xinjiang, and Xiao Pingting, the fourth princess."
"Well, it seems they arrived in the capital early." Murong Xi and Mo'er entered Guiyun Pavilion.
After arriving at the private room, Mo'er said: "Miss, in fact, basically all the envoys from various countries have already appeared in the capital."
"Who is coming this year?" Murong Xi asked slowly.
"The person from Nanzhao Kingdom is the third prince Ye Tianmo and the second princess Ye Wuyou. The person from Xifan Kingdom is the eldest prince Jun Wuchen. I heard that after they received the news of your return to the palace, they wanted to take this opportunity to meet with Lin.
Fengguo marriage." Mo'er said slowly.
"Haha, the idea has hit me? Mo'er, the people of Nanzhao need to pay more attention." Murong Xi said softly.
"Um."
And these envoys are also arranged in the Royal Courtyard. Envoys from various countries come to celebrate birthdays or attend palace banquets, and Linfeng Kingdom will arrange for them to stay temporarily there.
At this time, next door to Murong Xi and the others were two brothers and sisters from Nanzhao Kingdom. After ordering a few dishes, they sat and chatted.
"Brother Imperial, are you really going to marry that Princess Jingruo?" Ye Wuyou asked disdainfully.
"This is what Father meant. Do you think you and I can control it?" Ye Tianmo said coldly.
"But haven't you inquired about it? That princess seems to be useless and ordinary-looking. How can she be worthy of being your princess?" Ye Wuyou asked in confusion.
"Wuyou, this is a marriage between the two countries." Ye Tianmo said with deep meaning. He didn't want to talk too much to Ye Wuyou, after all, this is a state matter. And his father Qian warned him that he must treat Princess Jingruo
If he wants to marry back, he must try his best to do it, otherwise he will disappoint his father.
"Wuyou knows, it's a state matter, Wuyou won't mention it anymore." Ye Wuyou said helplessly.
"Eat quickly."
The day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is coming soon.
Murong Xi, on the other hand, chose the purple clothes that Pluto made for her that day, and still wore the white jade hairpin given to her by Pluto on her head. Of course, Murong Xi was unaware of it.
On the eve of the birthday banquet, Yuxiufang sent two sets of clothes to Murong Yan, one was pink, which Murong Yan liked, and the other was light yellow. Today she looked different from the past, and she was wearing the light yellow one.
After Murong Yan dressed up, she came to Ningxi Palace and prepared to go to Feiyun Palace with Murong Xi.
When Murong Yan saw Murong Xi, she was really surprised by the clothes she was wearing.
"No wonder my sister doesn't make new clothes. This is the first time Yan'er has made such beautiful clothes.
I saw it." Murong Yan said dazzled.
"Haha, the light yellow dress Yan'er is wearing is also very beautiful." Murong Xi said with a smile.
Murong Xi, as always, didn't bother with anything on his face. Anyway, there was nothing to worry about with a fake face. If it was his own face, there would be no need to bother with it.
The two of them went to greet the Queen Mother first, and then followed the Queen Mother to Feiyun Palace.
By this time, the hall was already full of people.
The Queen Mother walked at the front, then followed the Emperor, and finally followed Concubine Shu and the other concubines. Murong Xi and Murong Yan followed Concubine Shu and the others in a low-key manner, then walked to their seats and sat down.
Murong Xi discovered that Pluto's seat was empty. It seemed that Pluto would not appear today.
The ministers and their families all knelt in the main hall and shouted: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother on her birthday."
"Sit down." The Queen Mother said majestically.
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet officially began. After a song and dance, envoys from various countries began to present birthday gifts.
"On behalf of the Nanzhao Kingdom, I would like to offer a birthday gift to the Queen Mother." The third prince of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom stepped forward and said respectfully.
The people around her directly handed over the birthday gift. The Queen Mother opened it and said with a smile: "The country of Northern Xinjiang is interested."
Northern Xinjiang is rich in jade, so the gift must be a very valuable jade.
At this time, Ye Tianmo from Nanzhao Kingdom also came out and said: "I wish the Queen Mother happiness, longevity and health."
The person next to him also handed Eunuch Shun a box.
When he opened it, it was very confusing. How could it be a dead tree? But Murong Xi's eyes lit up, this thing...
The Queen Mother looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out what it was, so she could only say softly: "Nanzhao is interested."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
However, the officials sitting below were also very puzzled. Is this Nanzhao Kingdom going too far? On the birthday of the Queen Mother, she gave a dead tree as a gift. What is the reason for this?
There was a hint of cunning in Ye Tianmo's eyes and he said: "The Queen Mother, it seems that the ministers of Linfeng Kingdom are quite critical of my birthday gift."
"How could it be?" Not only the courtiers were confused, but she was also confused. However, she was the Queen Mother, so naturally she couldn't ask. It was not to show that she was ignorant, but because she was afraid that Nanzhao would get into trouble if she asked. Nanzhao had always been very ambitious, so,
She won't take the initiative to provoke him.
"Actually, I don't blame the ministers of the Hu State. They don't know what this is, so they are like this." Ye Tianmo means that the ministers of the Linfeng State are ignorant.
The ministers didn't look very good, but the Queen Mother and her elders didn't pursue the case, so how could they dare to pursue it.
At this time, there was a burst of laughter: "Haha, what the prince of Nanzhao said is really interesting. This thing is a rare treasure. How could the imperial grandmother not like it? How could the ministers not know the intentions of Nanzhao?
?”
Ye Tianmo followed the voice and found the woman who was speaking. When he saw it, the woman was wearing a purple dress and had an average appearance. However, her voice was very nice when she spoke, and her calm look made him fall in love with her.
There was one person in my mind: Murong Xi.
Yes, it was Murong Xi who opened his mouth to come to the rescue.
"Oh? Who is this?" Ye Tianmo asked.
"Haha, it's the princess I have been looking for for fifteen years, Princess Jingruo." The emperor said with a smile.
"It turns out to be Princess Jingruo. I would like to know that Your Highness the Princess knows this thing?" Ye Tianmo asked faintly.
The emperor also frowned, it was obvious that Ye Tianmo was being unreasonable.
However, there was no trace of panic on Murong Xi's face, and she said calmly: "Of course I know. This thing looks ordinary, like a dead tree. In fact, its effect is very strange. It not only calms the mind but also nourishes the mind. And
, this thing has been around for hundreds of years, it has a nice name called Qiluoxiang. The third prince of Nanzhao Kingdom, am I right?"
Nanzhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Murong Xi carefully. This was the rumored Princess Jingruo who knew nothing about it? Why couldn't he tell it at all?
"What the princess said is true, and she actually said every word." Ye Tianmo said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "I didn't expect that Nanzhao would send such a great gift. It's really thoughtful."
At this time, Jun Wuchen, the eldest prince of the Western Fan Kingdom, stepped forward and said: "I wish the Queen Mother happiness, longevity and health."
Because it was a small box, he personally delivered the item to Eunuch Shun.
The Queen Mother opened the box and saw that there was a jade-carved longevity peach inside. It looked real. After seeing the things sent by various countries, Murong Xi wanted the piece of wood the most. That piece of wood was very special to her.
It is important, no, it is very important to Feng Mingye. If Qiluo Xiang is used in the right place, it is highly poisonous. However, how can ordinary people know? Even the most powerful saint in Nanzhao Kingdom may be poisonous.
I don’t know. Because Murong Xi has studied this thing in his previous life. For the poison on Feng Mingye, Qiluoxiang is its nemesis. Haha, it took no effort at all. Murong
A few days ago, Xi was still thinking about where to find this thing, but now Nanzhao Kingdom obediently delivered it to her door.
The Queen Mother looked at Murong Xi and said with a smile: "I wonder what gift Xi'er will give to the Ai family?"
After Murong Xi stood up, she slowly walked to the Queen Mother and said, "Royal Grandma, Xi'er's birthday gift is not as valuable as the things sent by the envoys of the Three Kingdoms." Then Cong Rang Mo'er handed her a box.
The Queen Mother opened it and saw that it looked like a painting.
The Queen Mother opened the scroll with doubts. She looked at Xi'er in shock and said, "Xier, this, this was painted by you?"
Murong Xi gave the Queen Mother a portrait, which she drew with charcoal. In the portrait, the Queen Mother was sitting on a chair, very kind. Murong Xi's paintings were not like those of ancient painters, only painting charm. She painted the portrait of the Queen Mother
It was as if it had been captured by a camera, and it was very real. Of course, the emperor was also very curious, and he was also very surprised when he looked at the queen mother in the portrait.
Murong Xi smiled and said, "My granddaughter painted it for the emperor's mother when she had nothing to do."
"Okay, okay, the Ai family likes it." The Queen Mother has never seen any treasures before. Besides, the Queen Mother will be happy with anything Murong Xi gives her. However, this painting surprised the Queen Mother.
What Murong Yan gave her was a sachet. The embroidery on the outside was sewn stitch by stitch by herself. It contained a variety of medicinal materials that could calm the mind. This was what Murong Xi taught her.
The Queen Mother also liked it very much.
The gifts had been sent, and then came another very thoughtful dance. Concubine Shu was heard to say softly: "Your Majesty, these fairies have come down to earth specifically to celebrate your birthday."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded. This dress seemed very familiar. Is this the Nine Heavens Xuannv? Isn’t that... The Queen Mother looked at the woman in the middle, reminding her of the woman who danced for her back then...
