Chapter 170

Su Ke turned her head and looked over, just in time to meet Lan Ying's sharp blade-like eyes, she sighed helplessly, and then put one hand on the desk in front of her, thinking faintly: It seems , this girl wants to be a princess, wants to be in charge of the East Palace, and then becomes the mother of the country...

Well, be ambitious!
Su Ke doesn't think that a girl like Lan Ying, who has good kung fu, spiritual power, and good looks, will like a cowardly, incompetent, timid man like the prince.

Therefore, no matter what dynasty or society it is in, if a man has power and money in his pocket, even Wu Dalang can probably be favored by Mei Jiao Niang.

At the end of the song, all the girls retreated, and Lan Ying stayed in the center of the hall.

"My daughter, Lan Ying, pay homage to the Empress Dowager, and wish the Empress Dowager a long and boundless life." Lan Ying knelt down and bowed deeply.

Immediately, a eunuch came up with a plate lined with red silk and satin: "Queen Mother, Lan Ying, the eldest lady of Lan Taiwei's family, sent a Zhuyan Dan Shuxin Pill, wishing the Queen Mother a long life!"

"Okay, okay, Lan Ying gives gifts to Ai's family every year, even if she doesn't come back, this gift is always the first to arrive, she is really a caring girl." The queen mother smiled happily.

She is 70 years old, she looks only about 40 years old, and looks younger than the emperor around her. The queen mother thinks that this has something to do with Lan Ying's Zhuyan Pill these years, so, for Lan Ying, she I really like it.

On the other hand, Su Ke, when the elixir box was passed in front of her, she sniffed her nose and the corners of her lips, provoking a faint smile of unknown meaning.

Lan Ying received the queen mother's reward, a ruby-encrusted golden step that the queen mother used when she was young, and then thanked her and stepped back, sitting in the third row diagonally opposite Su Ke, next to Su Mo.

The second procedure of the blessing banquet is that the courtiers over 60 years old in the court come forward to accept the rewards from the queen mother and the emperor to pray for blessings.

This is to show that the royal family is grateful to the veterans who have served the court all their lives and supported the stability of the Moliang Dynasty all their lives.

All ministers, Lan Taiwei, Xiao Taibao, and several old generals from the court all stepped forward to receive the reward.

Naturally, these courtiers were also very eye-catching and gave the queen mother their own gifts.

What Mu Huaili, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, presented was a calligraphy and painting, the picture of green pine that he drew with his own hands.

Then, some old ministers sent blood-colored coral trees, glazed lamps, etc., all kinds of rare things. Naturally, they also prepared a set of excuses for these rare things. They have been officials in the court for many years. They are more slick than anyone else, and they know how to please those in power, otherwise, they will definitely not be able to live well to this day due to countless changes in the court situation.

The courtiers who received the rewards and gifts thanked them one by one, got up and sat back in their seats, and finally, only Xiao Taibao was left kneeling in the center of the hall.

"Xiao Taibao, what are you doing?" The emperor is Xiao Taibao's nephew and the head of the state, he frowned at the scene of this uncle, and finally couldn't help asking.

Xiao Taibao took apart his sleeve pockets, and also untied the front of his chest. His hands touched his body from top to bottom, and from front to back.

"Empress Dowager, old minister... the old minister's things are missing." Xiao Taibao's old face was as pale as paper, and his lips trembled when he spoke.

"What's missing? But it was lost in this hall?" Although the queen mother was a little annoyed at her brother's virtue, she still couldn't help asking.
