After crossing, I became the vicious concubine of the tyrant

Chapter 38 The Queen Mother's Birthday
"What happened to Huayao recently? Why do I feel that all the people in Kilometer are busy talking? And even the food delivered has become a lot more perfunctory." Gu Qingcheng casually ate a box on the table Osmanthus lotus root flour cake, one side is a little unhappy.

Since I came to this place, I don’t have anything special to do every day. The only remaining pastime is eating. After all, ancient times are different from modern times. There is no developed network, and there is nothing to entertain at night. activities, the only thing left is to eat some special pastries and vegetable markets, but also to make myself happy.

Hearing Gu Qingcheng's inquiry, Hua Yao showed a slightly surprised expression on his face.

"Imperial Concubine, this servant thought you already knew about it. It will be the Empress Dowager's birthday soon, so everyone in the palace is carefully preparing gifts for the Empress Dowager. It is inevitable that there is some negligence."

Hearing Hua Yao's words, Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly, and searched the original owner's memory, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't be unprepared for everything, right?" Hua Yao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the sudden realization on his mother's face.

I'm afraid my mother really didn't regard the Queen Mother's birthday as an important matter. If she hadn't reminded her today, Gu Qingcheng might not even think about it.

After all, from Gu Qingcheng's point of view, the queen mother is simply an old woman who is difficult to take care of.What's more, the queen mother didn't give herself any good looks, and she always found fault with herself, so Gu Qingcheng naturally had no intention of trying to please the queen mother.

Anyway, it is enough for me to receive Nangong Mo's protection in this palace. As long as Nangong Mo's foot injury does not heal for a day, I will be at ease all day. Nangong Mo values ​​his legs so much, and he will definitely not let anyone hurt him , because of such a plan, Gu Qingcheng has nothing to worry about, and has no intention of seeking shelter from the queen mother at all.

It can be said that Gu Qingcheng does not have much respect for this head of women in the harem.

Seeing his master's indifferent attitude, Hua Yao couldn't help stamping his feet anxiously.

"Your Majesty, time is running out, you should hurry up and prepare, the Empress Dowager doesn't like you very much, if you still don't take this opportunity to please the Empress Dowager, maybe the Empress Dowager will embarrass you later. "

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is anxious to death.Seeing Hua Yao's angry look, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Then you go to the warehouse to see if there are any things that the emperor rewarded before that you can pack up and give to the queen mother." Gu Qingcheng thought to himself, since he doesn't have much money anyway, so he might as well take the things that Nangong Mo rewarded as a favor.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Everything the Emperor bestows on you is recorded in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you give it to the Empress Dowager, I am afraid that both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will be angry." The expression on the face of Cai Yun, who was watching his master's dangerous remarks, couldn't help becoming a little nervous.

I really don't know how Gu Qingcheng survived until today.

Of course, Hua Yao and Cai Yun were just slandering them secretly in their hearts. Although Gu Qingcheng was approachable, they absolutely dare not say it.

"Then tell me what to do? It's the first time I give a gift to the Empress Dowager. How do women in the harem usually give it?"

Hua Yao also encountered difficulties, and it was the first time for him to enter the palace with Gu Qingcheng. He didn't know what the Queen Mother liked, so he couldn't help casting some help-seeking eyes to Caiyun next to him.

Cai Yun looked at the expectant expressions of Gu Qingcheng and Hua Yao, and couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart. Fortunately, he had been with Concubine Lian for many years, and Concubine Lian was always good at pleasing the Empress Dowager. All the gifts are very thoughtful.

"If you return to the concubine, Concubine Lian would prepare some pearls and hairpins for the Queen Mother every year on her birthday. Although the Queen Mother is old, she still likes to dress up very much. I remember that Concubine Lian gave it to the Queen Mother one year. A pair of earrings made of Dongzhu are priceless and very expensive, and the Queen Mother loves them so much that she often takes them out."

"Oh, then it looks like this queen mother is actually quite flattering." Gu Qingcheng couldn't help showing a clear expression when he heard Caiyun's words.

"Okay, I got it. If this is the case, then you all go to the House of Internal Affairs to pass on my will. Let the House of Internal Affairs make a pair of beautiful pearl hairpins and give them to the Queen Mother. As for the design, since the Queen Mother is the master of the harem, I will send it Phoenix is ​​always right."

Gu Qingcheng briefly thought about it, and then casually gave orders.

In fact, if you have enough time, you can also make some new things yourself. It's just Gu Qingcheng who pleases the queen mother. She really doesn't like the old woman, so she doesn't want to spend any thought on the queen mother.

Hua Yao and Cai Yun looked at each other worriedly, but seeing their master's indifference, they knew that it might be useless even if they tried to persuade them, so they had to honestly go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Xiaoyun? She walked away from our empress, and the seller was seeking glory. Now she has climbed a high branch, and her whole person is full of air." Cai Yun just came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs when he heard the words in his ear. When there was a bit of acrimonious voice, he couldn't help but frowned.

The person who spoke was another court lady who served Concubine Lian with him before.

Because Cai Yun is a man of few words, but very serious in his work, even with Concubine Lian, he is highly valued. Seeing that this court lady has never had a chance to take over, she regards Cai Yun as a thorn in her flesh.

Originally, I thought that Caiyun's tonics for the imperial concubine were poisoned, and he would definitely be severely punished by the emperor, but he didn't expect that Caiyun had transformed into a palace maid next to Gu Qingcheng, and he couldn't help feeling even more jealous stand up.

Cai Yun remembered Gu Qingcheng's teaching, not to argue with the people in Concubine Lian's palace, so he just snorted coldly, gave the maid a blank look, and went to find the chief eunuch of the House of Internal Affairs on his own.

The chief eunuch recognized Caiyun, and knew that Miss Caiyun was a very embarrassing court lady in front of Gu Qingcheng, so she hurriedly greeted her with a smiling face.

"Isn't this Miss Caiyun? What kind of wind brought you here?"

"Our empress is going to make a pair of pigs in the shape of a phoenix. You design it carefully, and then the empress will give it to the queen mother on her birthday. Don't neglect it."
