Chapter 171 Slapping everyone in the face!

Immediately afterwards, she said in public: "Jiang Liangdi, knowing that your family is not well off, you can't give copper and horns as gifts. These things are not precious, and you don't need to spend any effort. How dare you still give them away?" Giving it to the empress dowager is really embarrassing to the royal family."

In her opinion, Jiang Liangdi's gift is not as good as copying scriptures, at least copying scriptures takes time and effort.

Moreover, the queen mother has always focused on reciting Buddha's name, which can be considered as her favorite.

But this Jiang Liangdi, wouldn't she just use these cheap goods to cheat the Empress Dowager's purse?

If everyone is like Jiang Liangdi, wouldn't it be a lot of money for the Empress Dowager to hold a birthday banquet?
"." Jiang Shishi, as a concubine in the East Palace, cannot contradict a prince and concubine like Princess Huai, especially in front of so many princes and nobles.

Therefore, no matter what Princess Huai said, she could only accept it.

Seeing that Princess Huai spoke rudely, Pei Xuanling asked, "Does the fourth sibling know what glasses are?"

"I..." Princess Huai thought for a while, wanted to make a random guess, but was afraid of being embarrassed if she guessed wrong, she finally replied truthfully: "I don't know what it is."

"Since you don't know what it is, why are you accusing Jiang Liangdi so confidently?" The prince stared straight at Princess Huai.

Facing the sharp eyes of the Crown Prince, Princess Huai was at a loss for words, and did not dare to say more.

Still King Huai smiled and said, "Brother Huang, my daughter-in-law just said that, why should you be serious."

Seeing that the princes were tense, the empress dowager at the head asked: "The Ai family doesn't know what glasses are, Jiang Liangdi, why don't you tell everyone."

Jiang Shishi: "When you return to the Empress Dowager, the glasses are made of crystals and worn in front of the eyes, which can be used to block strong light and wind and sand, and can also correct vision and make blurred vision clear."

There is no glass here, so the glasses she gave to the Queen Mother are all made of crystal.

Hearing that the glasses are made of crystal, everyone knew that Jiang Liangdi was wronged.
In Dongliang Kingdom, crystals are relatively precious gems.
After hearing this, the queen mother frowned, "It happened that Ai's family was getting old and their eyes were blurred, so I gave it to Ai's family to try."

So, a eunuch took one of the glasses and gave it to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager fiddled with it for a while, feeling a little troubled, "Jiang Liangdi, this is the first time Aijia has seen this thing, and I don't know how to use it, so you can come up and put it on for Aijia."

"Yes." Jiang Shishi went to the top and put on the glasses for the Queen Mother, "What do you think?"

Putting on the glasses, the queen mother bowed her head under the palace.

She first looked at both sides of the hall, then raised her head and looked further outside the hall.

After looking at it for a while, she showed a satisfied smile, "Yes, these glasses are really good. Aijia's eyesight is not good at first, who knows that once wearing these glasses, not only can you see clearly what's underneath, but also the eyes of the palace. It's clearly visible from the outside."

"Really? Then I will try it too." Emperor Jianyuan took another pair of glasses and put them on.

After a while, he frowned and took it off, "Why do I feel dizzy when I put it on?"

Jiang Shishi: "Your Majesty, these are presbyopic glasses specially made by my concubine for the Empress Dowager. Generally, only the elderly can wear them. You are still young and have good eyesight. Naturally, wearing presbyopic glasses will make you feel uncomfortable."

After hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan nodded to express his understanding.

The Empress Dowager at the side became more and more satisfied with the glasses, "Jiang Liangdi, this is the first time Aijia and the emperor have heard of these glasses, how did you know?"

Jiang Shishi: "Before the concubine entered the palace, I saw an old man wearing glasses. At that time, the concubine asked him curiously. He told the concubine that crystal stones can correct eyesight, and the glasses you wear are embedded in the middle. It's crystal."

The queen mother smiled and nodded, "Then why did you think of giving Aijia glasses? If Aijia remembers correctly, this is the first time we met, right? How did you know that Aijia's vision is blurred?"

"This..." Jiang Shishi pursed her lips, "The concubine was at His Highness the Crown Prince once, and heard that His Highness said that your eyes are a little blurry, and sent someone to bring you some food that is good for your eyes, so I remembered it myself. "

"What a caring person." The queen mother looked at Jiang Shishi with satisfaction, and then looked down at the prince, "The prince is also a filial person. He not only sends people to deliver various nourishing meals every month, but also often sends some amusing things. To Aijia."

Pei Xuanling: "Father is always filial to you, but my grandson is just learning from father."

Once he asked Huang Dechang to send the Queen Mother some food that was good for the eyes, and Jiang Liangdi was also present.

At that time, Jiang Liangdi didn't have any special reaction, she didn't think about it, but she listened to it, and now she even gave the Queen Mother a pair of glasses.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's also the emperor who teaches his son well."

Emperor Jianyuan: "Where. This is what we should do as juniors."

For a time, the three generations of the royal family looked harmonious and warm.

Next, the faces of the other princes turned green with anger.

Not only did Jiang Liangdi send gifts to the Empress Dowager's heart, but she was also a know-it-all, helping the Crown Prince to show her filial piety.

Look at their princess again, and they will send some boring things.

At the same time, many princes and concubines gritted their silver teeth in anger.

Immediately afterwards, the queen mother rewarded Jiang Shishi with a purse as usual.

Although the Empress Dowager didn't say it clearly, everyone could see that the Empress Dowager liked the gift from Jiang Liangdi very much.

Before when someone gave the Empress Dowager a gift, the Empress Dowager just exchanged a few pleasantries.

Ever since she put on the glasses Jiang Liangdi gave her, the Empress Dowager had a heartfelt smile on her face, and she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Jiang Shishi took the purse and went back to her seat, only to hear Princess Huai complaining in a low voice, "Come on, no matter how precious a gift we give, it takes months of effort, it's not as good as a cheap one from someone else."

Princess Huai's voice was very low, only the princes could hear it.

Jiang Shishi paused slightly, then returned to her seat and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the voice of the prince, "Fourth brother, take good care of your daughter-in-law. Don't point out things you don't know, so as not to embarrass the royal family everywhere."

Pei Xuanling's voice was not too loud, and everyone in the hall could basically hear it.

King Huai gritted his teeth and responded, "What the emperor said is true."

Princess Huai: "..." The crown prince actually gave her back everything she said about Jiang Liangdi!

But she dared not and could not contradict the prince.

After the princes and concubines delivered the gifts, it was the ministers in the palace who presented the gifts.

After Jiang Shishi gave the gift, she began to eat the food on the table.

On the table in front of her and the prince, there were melon and fruit snacks, as well as various meals, and Jiang Shishi restrained herself in eating some food.

If she doesn't eat now, she won't be able to eat any more food after being punished for spoilers.

After the ministers had finished presenting their gifts, Emperor Jianyuan's gift finally appeared.

The Minister of Rites who sang the newspaper shouted outside: "Bring in the golden parrot that the emperor dedicated to the empress dowager!"

However, everyone stretched their necks and waited for a long time, but no one came into the hall with a golden parrot.

After a long time, a eunuch came in in a panic, "Your Majesty, the parrot you gave to the empress dowager has disappeared, and even the servant who raised the bird has disappeared."
