Is the Queen's fortune told today?

Chapter 35
The atmosphere became awkward again, and Lu Changan gave Xiao Fengqi a hopeless look from the side.

How can you talk to a beautiful girl like this, it's like talking to your subordinates, this girl needs to be coaxed and hurt.

"Cousin, didn't you prepare the best calming tea for Miss Bai? Haven't brought it to Miss Bai yet."

Xiao Fengqi was half a beat too late, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to bring up the soothing tea.

He said in a gentle tone: "This is some calming tea that my father rewarded. I don't need it now, so I will borrow flowers and present Buddha to Miss Bai."

In the past few days, Bai Xuanyin just couldn't sleep because of this horoscope matter, but now that she has this calming tea, it can relieve her a bit.

And Bai Xuanyin has also read it, this is indeed good tea.

Sure enough, being born in the royal family is different, and the tea leaves that are brought out casually are all different, and Bai Xuanyin is not as polite as Xiao Fengqi.

"I'll accept this tea, and in return, I'll give it to His Royal Highness, the birthday gift that His Highness originally prepared for the empress may be inappropriate."

Xiao Fengqi's eyes were like waves, and he lightly waved towards Bai Xuanyin: "Thank you, Miss Bai."

Lu Changan heard the reminder in Bai Xuanyin's words, and was about to ask further questions, but he was dragged away by Xiao Fengqi unexpectedly.

It was not until he returned to Prince Zhao's Mansion that Lu Changan found a chance to speak.

"Cousin, what birthday gift have you prepared for the Empress?"

In two days it will be the empress's birthday. Because the national treasury is not very abundant this year, the empress is not planning to make a big deal for the sake of her reputation.

So this year Xiao Fengqi also made preparations earlier.

"It's the skin of a red fox."

"This red fox is a rare sight in a hundred years. Cousin got it so hard, why don't you keep it for yourself, instead give it to the empress?"

Lu Changan still remembered that the red fox was originally hunted by his cousin at the foot of the snow mountain last year, but they waited a whole month longer to hunt the red fox.

The skin of the red fox is bright and bright, and it is the best for keeping warm. If it is made into clothes, it will definitely look good. It is really a pity to give such a good thing to the empress.

But now it's all right!

"Cousin, since Ms. Bai said that this gift was not prepared properly, why don't you change it? Maybe the East Palace and the Central Palace are holding back their big moves there. It's not like Cousin hasn't suffered from this in the past."

Mentioning this, Lu Changan became even more annoyed.

Every year, preparing congratulatory gifts for the empress is quite a headache. In the past few years, my cousin was not allowed to give gold and silver, rare antiques, ordinary things, or something with profound meaning.

In short, there will always be mistakes in giving gifts, but the emperor complains all over.

This year he had a hunch, with Miss Bai's reminder, his cousin's gift this year should not be a big mistake.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the empress's birthday. Although the empress didn't want to make a fuss, the emperor thought about the empress's face, and held a family banquet in the harem. All the empresses from the palaces, as well as the prince and princess them.

All the palaces gave presents, and when it was Xiao Fengqi's turn, everyone put on a optimistic look.

Every year, the gifts that the King Zhao gave to the Queen would make the Emperor angry. This year, he doesn't know what the King Zhao will give.

Everyone looked at Xiao Fengqi calmly.

The emperor also had a headache. Originally, he didn't want to be angry, but nine out of ten of the things that King Zhao did because of being deceived by fate were bad. Don't cause any trouble today.

The queen sneered secretly, but her face was as usual, "I don't know what gift King Zhao prepared for this palace?"

Before Xiao Fengqi could answer, the personal eunuch beside the Empress rushed to answer.

"Back to Empress, His Royal Highness King Zhao gave you a piece of red fox fur."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, this red fox is rare, and he gave a red fox fur leaf, which shows King Zhao's thoughts on the queen, and the queen should not be wrong.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness King Zhao gave the empress the red fox fur. The concubine heard that this red fox is a once-in-a-thousand-year spiritual creature, and its fur is shiny. It is best for keeping warm on the body. It is not easy to hunt a red fox. It can be seen the filial piety of His Royal Highness King Zhao to the empress."

When there are concubines in the palace, they will start to make peace.

"Isn't it? It's rare for my concubine to hear about this red fox fur." ​​Ning Guiren's voice paused, "However, this concubine thinks it's inappropriate to give this gift."

The emperor was displeased when he heard it. After all, the gift that King Zhao sent this year was not wrong. What is Mr. Ning Gui picking up here.

"Your Ning, why is the gift from King Zhao inappropriate?"

"The emperor calmed down, and the ministers and concubines also expressed their feelings. Did the emperor forget that the national teacher had a fortune-telling two days ago, saying that there will be heavy snow in the north this year, and it is not appropriate to kill in vain. For this reason, the emperor has even canceled this year's autumn hunting. King Zhao Your Highness sent the red fox fur to the empress, isn't this contrary to what the national teacher said?"

"Besides, the red fox is an auspicious beast in the north. His Royal Highness Zhao killed the red fox easily and made clothes from his fur. This is disrespectful. Maybe the heavy snow in the north is the same as this Can't get rid of it."

Ning Guiren timidly glanced at the queen, then lowered his head, "The concubine is ignorant, and she is just guessing wildly. If the concubine is wrong, I ask the emperor to forgive me!"

After finishing speaking, Ning Guiren knelt down aggrievedly.

The emperor also remembered that the hexagrams made by the national teacher Yun Shao a few days ago were indeed as Ning Guiren said.

From this point of view, it is really inappropriate for King Zhao to send the red fox fur to the queen.

Thinking of this, the emperor was also quite helpless, it seemed that it was the same as in previous years, no matter what King Zhao sent, it would be nothing good.

"King Zhao, this is because you are not thinking carefully."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Lu Changan rushed to speak.

He saw these concubines discussing each other sentence by sentence with his own eyes, and suddenly found it funny.

After waiting for a while to see that they had finished speaking, they looked away without interest.

"Your majesty, you can't just convict my cousin just because of the eunuch's deceitful words. Who said that my cousin gave me a red fox fur? My cousin clearly gave me a picture of a hundred years of life, implying a long life." age."

The faces of the prince and queen suddenly changed.

How is this possible?
They had checked in advance that what Xiao Fengqi sent was red fox fur, how did it turn into a hundred longevity picture in Lu Changan's mouth?

What went wrong?
Xiao Fengqi took everyone's scrutiny into his eyes, and opened the wooden box containing the birthday gifts from the hands of his entourage. There was only one calligraphy and painting in the huge wooden box, which was the picture of a hundred years written by him himself.
