Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 160
"The queen accidentally slipped and fell, why don't you quickly help her up and send her back to the palace to rest." Su Yichen's voice was cold, and every word he said was not threatening, but anyone who heard it felt inexplicably terrified. trembling.

The queen's entourage hurriedly helped her up and sent her back to the palace.

"What are you doing in a daze, come here." These words were said to Xu Ruqing.

Xu Ruqing came back to her senses suddenly, she put away her nosy eyes and returned to Su Yichen's side.

"The king was not by your side for a moment, and you and the queen rushed forward, shrinking your head, where did the energy you used to deal with this king go?"

Xu Ruqing curled her lips: "The other party is the queen, it's not good for a concubine to confront her head-on."

Besides, am I willing to argue with her?It's not all because of you, there are so many rotten peach blossoms!
Su Yichen remained silent and stopped talking.

Banquet hall.

Singing and dancing, toasting, jewels... The men and women at the banquet sang, sang and danced, bragging, bragging, striking up a conversation, so happy!

Xu Ruqing pushed Su Yichen to a corner and sat down alone.

"The emperor and the queen mother are here!"

Emperor Yangan walked to the center of the banquet hall wearing a bright yellow robe, but the buttoned collar seemed to be too tight, making his thick and short neck seem a little out of breath.

The older woman standing beside him is today's birthday star, Empress Dowager Xiaoxian.

"Long live my emperor! Long live the queen mother!"

Except for Su Yichen and his wife, everyone in the hall knelt down to greet him.

"Everyone who loves you, today is my mother's birthday, so let's treat it as a family feast, eat and drink well, don't feel restrained."

"Yes, it is a great honor for the Ai family to gather all the ministers together today through the birthday banquet. Just enjoy yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager!"

Emperor Yanqian went straight to the Dragon Seat and sat down, and the Empress Dowager entered the Phoenix Seat next.

"It is rumored that the emperor of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom is kind and humble. He not only has high academic attainments, but also is unparalleled in the world and outstanding in governance. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!" A group of people appeared at the gate, and they walked to the center of the banquet hall on their own.

Emperor Yanqian took a look: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Raksha Kingdom."

"Ye Xiao is not talented, I am fortunate to be remembered by the emperor."

night owl...

That delicious guy?

Xu Ruqing looked up unconsciously.

"Sure enough, you are a talented person. Come here and give a seat to Prince Rakshasa."

After saluting, Ye Xiao came to sit down.

The entourage following Ye Xiao made a gesture, and a group of people behind him came forward, put the boxes on the ground on their shoulders, and opened them one by one.

"Hearing about the Empress Dowager's birthday, the crown prince came to congratulate on behalf of the Raksha Kingdom. He specially presented three thousand pieces of jade brocade and two glass lamps. The Raksha is no bigger than Dongyuan. I hope this gift can win the eyes of the Empress Dowager."

Xu Ruqing didn't know what those were, but the things in the box were indeed shiny gold, which seemed to dazzle people's eyes.

"This...is it the Jade Luo Brocade that is hard to come by?"

"It is rumored that this brocade is exquisitely crafted and as thin as a cicada's wing. Only the royal family and nobles of the Raksha Kingdom can wear it. The Raksha Crown Prince will give you [-] brocades, which is really generous!"

"There is also a glazed lamp, which is rare in the world. It is said that this lamp can emit colorful lights. It used to be a Buddhist lamp in front of the seat of an eminent monk in the ancient kingdom of Tianzhu.

Listening to the voices of the ministers discussing in the audience, the Queen Mother was silent on the surface, but actually laughed inwardly.

The servants took a few samples for the Queen Mother to taste, but found that there was something extra in the box. "Hey, why is there a brocade box here?"

Ye Xiao smiled: "May I open it, Queen Mother?"

Open the brocade box, inside is a blue jade fan with irregular patterns.

"This is..." The Empress Dowager looked shocked. When she saw what was inside, she could no longer control her inner surprise.

"Fufu noodle fan." Ye Xiao replied.

"Fufu Noodle Fan!!" Everyone exclaimed again.

"This fan is the only one in the world. It is the founding relic of the Raksha Kingdom's former priest. I wonder if the Queen Mother still likes it?"

The Empress Dowager Xiaoxian could not leave her eyes without the fan for a moment, she nodded blankly: "I like it, Ai Jia likes it very much!"

The corners of Ye Xiao's mouth rose, as if everything was expected.

"Your country is far away. Sending envoys to the DPRK not only crosses the sea, but also presents local things. Dongyuan will never forget this kindness."

"Your Majesty is very polite."

With the beginning of Ye Xiao, envoys from other countries also offered treasures one after another.

Those who offer treasures to nowhere are just sycophants, which makes Xu Ruqing drowsy.

"A few days ago, Ai's family heard from Yan Ji that Princess Wei spent a lot of effort for Ai's family's birthday banquet. I don't know if Ai's family has the good fortune to see the birthday gift prepared by Princess Wei?"

A hollow voice came from above the hall, and Xu Ruqing woke up suddenly.

Come to yourself so soon?

Su Yichen looked at her in a daze, thought she was nervous, and took her hand warmly: "Don't be afraid, just do it boldly."

Xu Ruqing nodded slightly, then nodded.

"My wife, Xu Ruqing, see the empress dowager, the empress dowager is blessed with good fortune and golden safety, and her life is longer than Nanshan."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Empress."

Xu Ruqing stood up, gestured to the little eunuch behind him with his eyes, and then the little eunuch held a delicate maroon brocade box and bowed to present it to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother opened the box with great interest, and found a gold hairpin inside.

"Nine-feathered phoenix hairpin!" Someone had sharp eyes and recognized it at a glance.

"Hasn't the Jiuyu Fengchai been missing for ten years? Why did it suddenly appear here, and it's still in the hands of Princess Wei?"

"Could it be that the nine-feathered phoenix hairpin was found by Princess Wei a long time ago, and it was only presented today on the occasion of the Queen Mother's birthday? Or is it that the hairpin was not missing at all back then, but was given to King Wei by the Empress Dowager..."

"Shut up, my courtiers can criticize the matter of the harem, be careful not to protect your head."

"..."

The queen mother stared at the golden hairpin in a daze, different from the mood just now, she had mixed feelings in her heart at the moment.

Back then, in order to fight for this broken hairpin, she and Hui Wenming fought secretly, and both lost. In the end, no one was able to keep the nine-feathered phoenix hairpin... That was really a bad memory.

"Xu Ruqing, why is this hairpin in your hands?"

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, it doesn't matter how the golden hairpin came from. The court lady heard that this hairpin is of great significance to the Empress Dowager, so she wanted to present it as a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager, so that the Empress Dowager can smile."

"This gold hairpin was not lost back then, but was given to her granddaughter Ouyang Biqian by the Empress Dowager. Ouyang Biqian died three years ago, and this hairpin became a relic of the dead. Now you take a Dedicate the things of the dead to Aijia..."

The empress dowager's eyes turned cold, and her depths were bottomless: "Xu Ruqing, are you sure that you are trying to make Aijia happy, rather than trying to make Aijia feel bad?!"
