Chapter 122 My gift is sincerity

Queen Mother, it is a very old word to say.

Guo Jia's first reaction was always Cixi, that old hag who wrecked the country and the people.All queen mothers are probably not good people.

If the heart is pure, how can it be possible to survive to the position of queen mother in the palace?
After all, once you enter the Hou family, it's as deep as the sea, and Wuqing is the emperor's family!

It can be seen that Queen Mother Dong, Guo Jia realized that he was wrong.

This is not a wrinkled, gray-haired old woman with all the vicissitudes and experiences written on her face.

On the contrary, the queen mother is a middle-aged woman who is very well maintained, still charming and beautiful.If it wasn't for Cao Cao's reminder, Guo Jia would have thought the Queen Mother was only in her twenties.

Thinking about it, this year, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong was only 26 years old, and ancient people gave birth early, and Empress Dowager Dong was probably in her early 40s.

Staying in the palace all day, being pampered, eating and using the best, people will naturally not look old.

Nine phoenix gold jade hairpins are extremely luxurious, the back hem of the red and black fairy skirt is two meters long, and the golden jade ribbon is softly tied around the waist. The brilliance of the queen mother even overwhelms Queen He and Wang Meiren who are supporting her.

Of course, what is pitiful is that such a beautiful woman has no friends, no partner to talk to, not even a man who dares to look at her more, and the two little grandchildren who look very close beside her really love her?

Who would have known that such a beautiful woman would die in a few years because of the failure of the power struggle, and she would disappear.

************
I have to say that the etiquette of that era was very complicated. The emperor spoke, the queen spoke, the star officials spoke, and the historian spoke.
Then kneel down to the ancestors of the royal family, kneel down to heaven and earth, kneel down to Yanhuang, and the gods.
Guo Jia only felt that if it continued, would the Empress Dowager Dong be starved to death first?

Fortunately, Guo Jia was standing at the outermost position, no one paid attention to him at all, and he could be lazy from time to time.

Finally, it's time to get to the point, all the officials presenting gifts.

Some people offered thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum, some offered blood-dropping jade ruyi, and some offered five-color gold and jade clothes. In short, everything is luxurious and rare treasure.

Dian Wei was jealous, wishing he could take these things home.Xi Zhicai was so scared, so he wanted Guo Jia to persuade Dian Wei.

But when he turned his head, he found that Guo Jia's eyes were even redder than Dian Wei's.

Guo Jia has grown up in the world, secretly thinking that if he steals all the birthday gifts from the Queen Mother, he can also open a national museum in the 21st century.

Xi Zhicai had no choice but to drag the two by himself, otherwise who knows what the crazy master and servant would do?
In the end, it was finally Guo Jia's turn.Xi Zhicai yelled several times in a row before waking Guo Jia up from his stupidity, but his eyes were still red at the moment.

Guo Jia was also aware of his gaffe, and hurried forward, but he still unconsciously glanced at the rare treasures that were piled up like rubbish when he was walking.

At this time, Xi Zhicai realized, no, didn't Guo Jia say that his gift had already been delivered?Then he goes up, doesn't he?
Sure enough, Guo Jia was still in a daze when he walked to the front, not knowing why he came here.

"Guo Jia, where's your gift?" Han Lingdi's voice woke Guo Jia up.

"I" Guo Jia was dumbfounded all of a sudden.Didn't I give you a gift?
snort!It must be Han Lingdi who is taking revenge on himself for the disturbance in the palace just now, cheapskate!However, Guo Jia is a citizen, and Emperor Hanling is a monarch, Guo Jia dare not say this clearly.

Everyone is a smart person, Guo Jia's empty-handed appearance has already explained everything, and no one still understands.

Everyone was amazed, okay!Today they also (why do they use it?) are really well-known.

First, I met a man who dared to beat people in the palace, then met a man who dared to blame the sin on Confucius, and finally met a man who came to the Queen Mother's birthday without a gift.

The most important thing is that Guo Jia did all three of these things alone. Is he going against the sky?
"Guo Jia, you haven't prepared a gift, have you?"

Han Lingdi's voice was a little cold.

"I"

"It's okay, if Mr. Guo can come to Aijia's birthday, Aijia will be very happy, gifts and so on are not important."

At the critical moment, Empress Dowager Dong actually stood up to speak for Guo Jia, and even smiled softly at Guo Jia.

"Since my mother doesn't care, I have nothing to say. Guo Jia, go down!" The emperor's voice was still cold, but his mother said that he didn't care, what else could he say?
"Wait, I have something to say!"

For a while, Emperor Han Ling didn't care anymore, but Guo Jia refused to let it go.

"What can I say? I know that you are fearless and dare to do anything, but you'd better not be presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother. Otherwise, I won't be the first to spare you!"

Obviously, Emperor Han Ling alluded to Guo Jia's previous riots in the palace, which was why he made things difficult for Guo Jia.

"I dare not!" Guo Jia quickly explained, then straightened up and looked at Han Lingdi: "But I have prepared a gift, how can His Majesty not let me give it?"

"Have you prepared a gift?" Han Lingdi smiled.

I'm not a fool, with your look and actions, no one can see that you forgot to prepare.

"Your Majesty, since Mr. Guo is prepared, why not let him show it?"

At the critical moment, it was Empress Dowager Dong who stood up to speak for Guo Jia again. Looking at her smiling eyes, she seemed very interested in Guo Jia.

"I prepared a gift, but this gift can't be taken out!"

wow——

The audience was stunned, what is Guo Jia doing?Playing tricks on His Majesty and Queen Mother?He doesn't want to live anymore?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Guo Jia was very proud. That's right, even the emperor Lao Tzu couldn't make things difficult for me.

If you slap me once, I will give you two slaps back, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, it will not work.

"Bold, Guo Fengxiao, are you playing tricks on me and the Queen Mother?" Han Lingdi was a little angry, it's fine if I play a little joke with you, do you dare to fight back?
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, how about letting Mr. Guo explain it well?" The Queen Mother Dong spoke for Guo Jia for the third time, but her voice also cooled down. This Guo Jia seemed to be very dishonest.

"Tell me, what gift can't be taken out?"

After all, Emperor Han Ling gave Guo Jia a chance. He didn't believe that Guo Jia was such a stupid person, but since Guo Jia said so, he must have his own intentions.

"Yes!"

Guo Jia stood up in response, put his right hand on his left chest, said with a serious face and piercing eyes: "Here is the gift I prepared, my sincerity."

"Oh! Interesting, your sincerity, please explain to me!"

Emperor Han Ling smiled lightly, but he didn't notice that the empress dowager's face was slightly red.

This Mr. Guo, how can a man's sincerity be given to a woman as a gift?It's too easy!But why did my heart, which had been silent for so many years, suddenly jump up?

"First, the Empress Dowager is the head of the harem and a role model for women in the world. Who doesn't respect him? The most important thing is that he gave birth to an eternal king like Your Majesty. This is the queen mother's way of benefiting the common people and using the world Goodness and wellbeing."

"Secondly, I, Guo Jia, was an orphan. I lost my parents when I was young, and was even tolerated by my blood relatives. I didn't have warm clothes and food. If it weren't for the help of my brothers and friends, I, Guo Jia, would not be alive today. If so, the first time I saw the queen mother, I thought of my mother, and I think the queen mother is as beautiful, shining and gentle as my mother."

"Third, I, Guo Jia, can't take out the gifts from everyone. Even if I can give out such a gift, even a gift that is ten times better than you, I won't take it. Because no matter how good these things are, they are in my heart. It is not worthy of the queen mother at all."

"Fourth, the Queen Mother is like my mother, she is the most unique person. The only thing that can express my sincerity is my heart, and the only thing that can express my heart is my heart."

When Guo Jia spoke a deep and affectionate sentence, the audience was stunned.

The high officials and famous Confucians were stupid. They thought that Guo Jia was fearless, he didn't know how to be flexible, and he didn't know how to flatter, but how could this guy boast that he was better than himself?It is simply hard to catch up with four horses, no, not even a hundred horses can catch up!
The most important thing is that it was obviously wrong for you not to give the gift, why after you finished your words, it seems that those of us who gave the gift were wrong?We humiliated the Queen Mother with a gift that was not worthy of the Queen Mother?Only you, who can't get a gift, are sincere?
You, Guo Jia, are too bad!

snort!Flattery, Guo Fengxiao is nothing more than that.

Everyone disdain Guo Jia, but this is not important, because Emperor Han Ling and Empress Dowager Dong are just like this.

Emperor Ling of Han was expressionless, but everyone could see the look in his eyes. He still couldn't calm down with Guo Jia's words about the eternal Mingjun.

Empress Dowager Dong was even more straightforward, with tears in her eyes, she obviously liked and pitied Guo Jia at the same time, she liked his sweet mouth and pitied his background.

But it's not over yet!
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I thought of my mother when I saw the Empress Dowager today, so I made a slip of the tongue and offended the Empress Dowager. Please punish me severely, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. I will never dare to have such unreasonable thoughts again!"

As Guo Jia was talking, there was crying in his voice, and there were crystal tears in his eyes. He knelt down and pleaded guilty to the two of them.

At this moment, he couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or lying. The tearful appearance of Empress Dowager Dong made him slightly distracted, and it really reminded him of his mother who could no longer remember her face.

"Get up!"

Will Emperor Han Ling punish him?of course not!
Guo Jia's words seem to be flattery, but in fact, they are more like sincere words. He is loyal to the emperor, respects the queen mother, and is filial to his mother. If such a person will be punished, who will believe him?
Especially the eyes of my mother's empress staring at me, telling me clearly: If you dare to punish him, we will sever the relationship between mother and child.

"Then I'm going down."

Guo Jia turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't notice a cunning flash in Emperor Han Ling's eyes.

snort!You have such a powerful mouth, how could I let you go so easily?
