Chapter 741 Simmons

The queen mother waved her hand, signaling the eunuch to relax.

"Queen Mother, you can press down with your hand to feel the elasticity." Yun Yiyi stood aside respectfully.

The queen mother glanced at it, slowly stretched out her hand and put it on the mattress, and said to the eunuch after a while, "Put it back in the palace."

Regarding the Queen Mother's decision, Yun Yiyi was no exception.

If the queen mother is really unwell, she will definitely accept this.

All the ministers were stunned.

Didn't expect this to happen?
It's just a broken bed, it's amazing, and the key point is that the Queen Mother still accepts it!

The Prime Minister on the right said unhappily: "Queen Mother, I don't know what this bed is made of. Please take it back."

The queen mother frowned slightly: "Are you questioning Aijia's decision?"

"The old minister dare not, the old minister is just worried that it will be bad for the queen mother." You Lian hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"It's fine if you don't dare." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and waved someone to carry her back to the palace.

She pressed it with her hands just now, and it is indeed different from ordinary beds. In order to make the bed softer, the palace usually puts a lot of soft quilts, but this bed does not need soft quilts, and you can feel the elasticity.

Perhaps, as Yun Yiyi said, she has a way of treating back pain.

She paid homage to the Buddha on the mountain before, and had also heard about this woman's deeds. Since she dared to risk the crime of disrespect, it must be beneficial.

The Empress Dowager sat back on the high seat, and said to the people below: "Give a seat to Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan."

Yun Yiyi followed Yan Qinghe to the left, and after that, people gave gifts to the Queen Mother one after another.

Wang Lin sent a pair of calligraphy and paintings by everyone, which was deeply loved by the Queen Mother.

Others gave the same thing.

There is no such strange birthday gift as Yun Yiyi.

After the ministers finished their birthday gifts, the songs and dances that had been prepared began.

Ten court ladies waved their cloud sleeves and danced gracefully.

Among the crowd, a girl in white clothes slowly emerged from the fan, with a hollowed-out flying phoenix golden step rocking on her head, and there was a ding-dong sound as the lotus steps moved lightly.

The girl half covered her face, and the moment she lowered her head she was very gentle and careless. The pleats of her skirt flowed lightly on the ground like moonlight.

Those eyes looked at the Empress Dowager, and they turned around, and the waist was swaying, which was even more breathtaking.

The queen mother faintly felt a little familiar.

After the last dance, the woman tapped her toes, pulled a long strip from the air and slowly fell down, on which were written the eight characters of "Furu Donghai" and "Longevity Boundless".

At the same time, the Empress Dowager also saw the face under the tulle, and immediately grasped the phoenix chair with all her strength.

"It's actually the eldest princess." The queen was slightly surprised.

The eldest princess was in charge of presenting the dance, but she thought it would be the eldest princess who presented the dance.

He covered his mouth in surprise.

"An Ning presents a dance to the Empress Dowager. I wish the Empress Dowager a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." The eldest princess smiled slightly, holding a huge birthday peach high in her hand.

"Present." The Queen Mother smiled.

Immediately, a eunuch presented the longevity peach on the table, and the emperor also smiled: "An Ning, you have a heart."

Princess An Ning smiled and nodded: "I wonder if the Empress Dowager is satisfied with the birthday gift from An Ning?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, of course." The queen mother said with a smile.

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, An Ning bowed and stepped back to change her clothes.

"Now, the birthday banquet begins." With the shout of the chief eunuch, the joy of the birthday banquet was also pushed to the extreme.

Yun Yiyi carefully looked at the food at the table, with a slight smile in the corner of her eyes: "Qinghe, I didn't expect the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to use food from our restaurant."

Yan Qinghe paused slightly with the hand holding the chopsticks: "Are you happy?"

"Of course, it means that the restaurants are not of the same level as before." Yun Yiyi smiled faintly.

Yan Qinghe stopped a court lady from serving dishes, and personally took a piece of meat for Yun Yiyi: "Then eat slowly, the night is still very long."

As Yan Qinghe said, although the emperor asked the ministers to order freely, it was after all the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, who would dare to be so arrogant.

One by one, they ate their meals in a proper manner.

After a few glasses of wine, the ministers began to win over.

It was not until finally, when the Empress Dowager felt tired, that the emperor ended the birthday banquet.

The eunuch waited on the queen mother to go back to the palace to rest, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she saw a large bed on the other side.

The eunuch hurriedly said to the little eunuch next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze, you haven't taken the things away yet."

The little eunuch responded quickly, and the queen mother thought for a while: "Try using this bed first tonight."

In the hall before, she didn't try it due to etiquette, but now in her own palace, there is no restriction.

The eunuch had to ask someone to clean it up.

The original bed was replaced and placed inside the hall.

The ladies in the palace covered the thin quilt back and forth, the Empress Dowager saw it and said indifferently: "There is no need for such a thick quilt."

Before, the bed was made thicker so as not to break the bones, but she pressed this bed before and it was soft.

It is unnecessary to spread too many quilts, so the maid reduced two layers of quilts and put them aside for later use.

After washing for a while, the eunuch served the queen mother and lay down slowly.

As soon as she touched the thin quilt, the queen mother clearly felt the difference from the previous bed.

This bed is unbelievably soft.

She tried to shake her body, but it didn't hurt at all.

The soft cushion stretched the Queen Mother's muscles very well. In the past, the Queen Mother, who couldn't fall asleep even after lighting a few sleeping incense, felt a burst of drowsiness as soon as she lay down.

When the time came, the maid who came in to add incense was still slightly taken aback when she heard the faint breathing sound next to her.

This night was very long, and when the queen mother woke up, it was already past the time for the queen to greet her.

Knowing that it is difficult for the Queen Mother to fall asleep, the old nanny who came in to serve her saw that the Queen Mother was sleeping well, so she didn't wake her up, but went back to return to the Queen's life.

When the queen heard that the queen mother was still sleeping, she was afraid of disturbing the queen mother, so she led all the concubines away.

This matter was told by the old mother when the queen mother woke up.

The queen mother seldom stays in bed. This rule was developed by her since she was a child, but now, she has not slept well for several years, and she wants to be willful this time.

After hearing the news from the old mother, the queen mother half-closed her eyes and lazily said: "The queen is clever."

The old mother hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, is this bed really so comfortable?"

"The Ai family hasn't slept so soundly for a long time. What Mrs. Yan said is right. The Ai family's back doesn't hurt anymore, and her waist doesn't hurt anymore." The queen mother stood up and let the old mother add clothes to her.

"May the Queen get up?"

"Get up, the Ai family wants to eat." The queen mother raised her hand.

The maids stood aside holding the bronze bowls, and retreated after the Queen Mother had washed her face and rinsed her mouth.

The old mother had already passed the meal, and a row of maids filed in. The queen mother raised her eyebrows: "Didn't the Ai family say not to be so extravagant?"

The old mother quickly explained: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, this is His Majesty's order. These are all your favorite dishes."

"The emperor's child is filial piety."

The queen mother sighed, picked up a piece of vegetarian dish with chopsticks, and said casually: "At the birthday banquet yesterday, there were many novel dim sums. Ai's family has not returned to the palace for a long time. I never thought that the chefs in the imperial dining room are so skilled now."

The old mother smiled: "The queen mother doesn't know. The dim sum that I didn't see yesterday was from the shop in the restaurant in the capital. This is the takeaway that the queen mother specially ordered. I know that you have never tasted this taste, so I bought it specially. Give you a taste."

"Restaurant? Takeaway?" The queen mother raised her head slightly, "Why do you want to buy it? Can't you just invite people here?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, this restaurant is a dim sum shop in the capital, and the owner there is Mrs. Yan. She and Mrs. Yan have made many contributions to the Great Zhou, so they did not use tyrannical methods."

Suddenly hearing Yun Yiyi's name, the queen mother was a little surprised: "So it's this one."

No wonder it was bought, not requisitioned.

The current emperor appreciates talented people very much, and he will definitely not do such a tyrannical thing.

"What do you mean by takeaway?" The queen mother wiped her mouth slowly and called for someone to put away the food.

"Actually, this matter was also caused by Mrs. Yan." The old mother paused, and when she talked about it, "The dim sum in restaurants is very popular, and there are not enough seats in the shop. Some merchants want to sell a good one. Seats should be reserved early, Madam Yan launched a food delivery service in order to curb this phenomenon."

The old mother told the queen mother about these things one by one, and the queen mother was amazed: "She is a strange woman, her ideas are very bold, no wonder she gave Ai's family a bed at the birthday party, and mourned for a long time. I have never seen such an interesting woman."

"The Empress Dowager, I can't finish talking about Mrs. Yan's affairs for three days and three nights." The old mother smiled and said, "She even gave the Empress Empress essential oils, saying that it can delay aging. When you return to the palace this time, you can see the empress Empress has changed?"

"It seems that the skin is much more delicate than before." The queen mother recalled the queen's previous appearance, "Is it really effective?"

"Indeed, this time when you come back, the empress also asked the palace servants to bring it to you." The old mother ordered the maid to take it out.

Seeing that there was only a small bottle, the Queen Mother frowned: "That's all?"

It's not that she dislikes it, the queen is too stingy.

Seeing this expression, the old mother couldn't understand what the Queen Mother meant: "Queen Mother, you misunderstood the Empress Dowager. It's not that the Empress Dowager didn't want to give you more, but that this material is very scarce. This thing is called rose essential oil. All the roses in the garden have been plucked to make such a small amount, and there is only one bottle at the queen's place, which is very precious.

"It's so, the Ai family doesn't know." The queen mother took a look at the vial, but she didn't expect it to be so delicate.

The old mother took out another bottle: "This is a facial mask. Apply it on the face to beautify your face. After using it, use essential oils for a better effect."

"Queen, do you want to try it?" the old mother said, seeing the queen nodded, took out the mask and gently applied it to her face.

After half an hour, the old mother washed the queen mother's face, put two drops of essential oil on the palm of her hand, and gently applied it to the queen mother's face for massage.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes comfortably, and vaguely felt that her skin was heating up: "Your technique is good."

The old mother said with a smile: "Madam Yan taught the queen's court lady this technique, and the old slave also learned it after a long time, as long as the queen mother is satisfied."

"It seems that Mrs. Yan will not be rewarded."

The queen mother squinted her eyes, looking happy.
