After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 170 Dealing with parrots, presenting gifts and boasting

"The queen mother is not my biological mother, the queen mother is not my biological mother, and the queen mother is not my biological mother"

The parrot said several words in succession, and Jiang Shishi and the others could hear them clearly.

Fan Songkang couldn't wait to step forward and grab the parrot by the mouth!
Fortunately, there were only the three of them nearby, and the guests were busy greeting and giving gifts, and there was a lot of noise around them.

Only the three of them heard what the parrot said.

The parrot said a few words in a row, but no one paid attention to it, so it stopped talking.

Fan Songkang asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, this parrot was dedicated to the Queen Mother by the Emperor, what should we do now?"

Pei Xuanling stared at the golden parrot in the cage, frowning in thought.

Anyone who has ever raised parrots in the capital knows that once a parrot utters curse words or unlucky words, they will never forget them in their lifetime.

Moreover, parrots have a long life span and a particularly good memory. Once learned, they cannot be eradicated at all.

Even if it didn't say it at the time and dedicated it to the Queen Mother, it will still be said later.

If this is placed next to the queen mother, it will be a timed artillery.

He also knew something about the mother-child relationship between the father and the queen mother.

On the surface, the mother is kind and filial, but in fact the queen mother is not the father's biological mother.

Moreover, after his father ascended the throne, although he did a good job in terms of material and etiquette.

But in private, the father not only subdued the influence of the queen mother's relatives, but also blocked any news outside the palace from the queen mother.

However, there is no restriction on the Queen Mother being in charge of the affairs of the palace, and it is said that the affairs of the palace will be handled by the Queen Mother.

It's just that the queen mother knew that her father didn't like her meddling too much, so she simply started eating fast and praying to Buddha.

This kind of mother-child relationship, which seems peaceful on the surface, is actually undercurrents.

And this parrot will tear the fig leaf between the father and the queen!
Thinking of this, Pei Xuanling asked Fan Songkang to call Huang Dechang.

Soon, Huang Dechang asked with his whisk in his arm, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Pei Xuanling first whispered a few words in Huang Dechang's ear.

After hearing this, Huang Dechang's eyes were full of shock, and his face was tense.

Then the prince said loudly: "Huang Dechang, this parrot has excreted something dirty, you can take it down and clean it up."

In order to ensure the normal progress of the Queen Mother's birthday, this matter cannot be made public.

Moreover, he also had the eunuch who trained the parrot temporarily detained.

"Yes, my servant will take it to the lake to wash it." Huang Dechang didn't dare to delay for a moment, and walked away with the bird cage.

As for Jiang Shishi and the crown prince, they returned to the Hall of Preserving Harmony and sat down in specific positions.

Jiang Shishi saw the Sixth Princess in the palace, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to say.

The sixth concubine also took Jiang Shishi to meet Concubine Kang and Concubine Mu respectively.

Although Kang Wang and Mu Wang are hostile to the prince, the two princesses are decent people.

When they saw Jiang Shishi's rather round figure, they were surprised for a moment, and then they kept talking kindly.

Only Concubine Huai and Concubine Ten had high-spirited faces. Apart from talking to the prince and concubine, these two didn't pay attention to Jiang Shishi at all.

Jiang Shishi and the Sixth Princess had a lot to say, so naturally they didn't care about it.

After a stick of incense, there was a voice singing outside: "The emperor and the queen mother are here!"

As soon as the voice fell, the ministers inside and outside the hall kowtowed to the ground one after another, "Long live the emperor, long live the empress dowager, a thousand years ago, a thousand years ago, a thousand years ago."

A mighty voice rang out over the Palace of Preserving Harmony. Emperor Jianyuan personally supported the Empress Dowager and walked side by side to the upper head, where the mother and son sat down.

The queen mother looked at the emperor, meaning to ask the emperor to wake up everyone.

Emperor Jianyuan signaled with his eyes that he handed over this right to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother stopped being modest.

"In previous years, Ai's birthday was kept simple. This year, he planned to keep it simple, but the emperor was so filial that he decided to hold a birthday banquet for Ai's family." Looking at the lower part of the hall, the queen mother said with a smile: "The birthday banquet The picture is a celebration and joy, everyone, get up, don't be restrained."

Everyone: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Jiang Shishi got up with everyone, returned to her seat and sat down.

She raised her head slightly, and secretly glanced at the queen mother above her.

The old man was kind-hearted, with a kind smile on his face all the time.

The Empress Dowager's hair is gray and there are many wrinkles around her eyes when she smiles, she looks like a kind elder.

It's just that the person who sits in the position of empress dowager has an unusual majesty all over her body, even more so than the empress.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall began to present gifts to the Queen Mother.

First of all, the princes, the prince, as the crown prince, was the first to give gifts, and the rest of the princes followed in turn.

The gifts given by the princes are all more precious and more meaningful birthday gifts.

For example, "Yufeng inkstone drop", "Xuangong Langzhao" crystal ball, etc.
What King Huai presented was a pair of flower vases, which were carved out of agate, with a base of dyed ivory carved with the pattern of "Pisces Zhao Rui".

The seventh prince sent a pair of birthday bowls, and began to boast: "Grandmother, my birthday bowl is made of gourd. There are exquisite black lacquer and gold patterns inside the bowl. Put a mold on the picked gourd, and let the pattern grow by itself.”

King Huai: "Seventh Brother, why don't you find a craftsman to carve it out, and carve it more finely. Wouldn't it be superfluous if you let it grow by itself?"

Seventh Prince: "What do you know, I am here to let him grow naturally."

King Huai: "Since we are talking about natural growth, why put a mold on the gourd? Aren't you putting the cart before the horse?"

Seventh Prince: "You"

"Okay, okay, why are you still as noisy as you were when you were young?" The queen mother laughed a few times, "No matter what, you can spend your time giving gifts to Ai's family, and you have a heart."

Then, according to the rules, the queen mother rewarded each of her grandchildren with a big red purse.

The purse was embroidered with golden longevity characters on the outside, and inside were gold and silver melon seeds and peanuts.

After the princes, there are the princes and concubines.

The first is Princess Mu, who embroidered a quilt cover with the word longevity.

The quilt cover was golden, with intricate patterns of various sizes embroidered on it.

In the middle of each group pattern, there is a red longevity character, which is said to have taken several months to embroider.

Then there is Concubine Kang, who personally copied a stack of Buddhist scriptures, saying that she wished the Queen Mother good health and a long life.

A string of longevity prayer beads given by Princess Huai.

The rest of the princes and concubines moved to the back row.

Although Jiang Shishi is a concubine of the crown prince, she is only a concubine. She has to wait for the prince and concubine to finish delivering the gifts before it is her turn.

Jiang Shishi held a gift box of huanghuali inlaid with hundreds of treasures and four seasons flowers, and handed it over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

After the official asked what was inside, he stood in the hall holding the box and sang loudly: "Jiang Liangdi of the Eastern Palace, present a pair of ox horn glasses and An Tong glasses!"

As soon as these words came out, the princes and ministers present looked suspicious.

"What are glasses?" Tenth Princess asked Princess Huai next to her.

Princess Huai curled her lips, "Tch, who knows what it is, just the ones read by the Ministry of Rites, it is probably not something that can be put on the table."
