Chapter 305 Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha
Everyone looked carefully, the emperor's kindness was only for Princess Chu, and he still did not have the favor of the eldest son of King Chu in his eyes.
It is said that parents are very fond of their first child, because it is the joy of being a first-time father and mother, and they can't wait to give him the best in the world. This is the case in each of their families, especially if the first child is a boy, which means that there is a successor in the family.
Not to mention, the birth of the emperor's eldest son is of great significance to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, even if he married the eldest daughter of the founding of the country, the emperor's attitude towards the king of Chu was still extremely cold, as if this son did not exist.
They were even guessing that if it weren't for the love and harmony between the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu, if the Princess of Chu was unhappy with such a husband one day, the emperor would be the first to raise his hand in favor of their reconciliation, and then give Princess Chu a better marriage in the blink of an eye.
In the midst of everyone's chaotic speculation, Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan had already opened the box, revealing the fur vest with shiny and smooth fur inside.
Mrs. Xue looked at the lines of the fur, and Huo Ran's eyes widened.
Dead girl is such a cheeky girl!
actually took their grandson's things as a birthday gift and gave them to the emperor first?!
Didn't Grandpa Guo give a rich dowry, not enough money to buy more precious gifts?
Mrs. Xue clenched her fists, eager to jump up and expose the dead girl's face, so that she could not get off the stage in public.
But...... Does she have proof?
No.
That batch of furs was used to bribe the Cai family, and if the emperor knew that such high-quality furs flowed into the Cai family, neither she nor the Cai family would have good fruits to eat.
Xue Jinyi picked up the fur and gently shook it away, glancing at Sun Suci's face, the pain and annoyance in her eyes made her feel very funny.
She just wanted to make Sun Suci feel so distressed that she went crazy.
How can it feel so comfortable to deduct money from greedy profiteers again and again?
"Father," she was in a good mood, her gentle tone rose slightly, revealing the lightness of a girl, "the weather is getting colder, the autumn hunt is coming, and the hunting ground is cold at night, so the King of Chu and Jinyi are preparing the next fur vest for you." If you wear it warmly, your body will be healthy and you will have fun during the autumn hunt? ”
Everyone listened to her tone and took a slight breath.
This is like a birthday gift for the emperor, it seems to be a conversation between father and daughter in an ordinary person's family, and it is not even the respect that a daughter-in-law should have for her father-in-law, even the prince didn't dare to speak in such a tone just now.
Queen Cai frowned slightly, what tricks is this little girl playing?
Her heart was mixed with expectation and disgust, looking at the emperor and Xue Jinyi.
The prince said that he was in love with Xue Jinyi.
She was both angry and faintly expectant, and actually hoped that Xue Jinyi could become the crown princess, replace the useless Xue Fangyi, and assist the prince to stabilize his position.
Therefore, she wanted to see what kind of performance Xue Jinyi would have today.
Xue Jinyi didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her tone, and asked with a smile: "Father, Jinyi doesn't know the size of your clothes, so she has an approximate estimate, do you want to try the size now?" ”
Everyone's hearts were raised, staring at the lord's side, and they were reluctant to blink their eyes.
The emperor will eat the longevity noodles made by the prince, because it is the heart of the prince and the people, so he has to eat a bite, but the king of Chu and the princess of Chu offered this fur......
The condition is good, but will there be a lack of this kind of thing in the emperor's treasury?
What does it look like to try on clothes in front of so many pairs of eyes?
Princess Chu thinks that she is the emperor's daughter-in-law, so she can do whatever she wants? What a naivety!
It seems that this time I have to teach Princess Chu how to be the daughter-in-law of the Son of Heaven.
Xue Jinyi knew that everyone was waiting to see their jokes, but she looked at the emperor with confidence, and her bright eyes made the emperor feel like stars in the sky.
The emperor knew very well that Princess Chu was not a simple woman.
And she is Pu Yangxuan's wife.
However, while he knew it in his heart, he didn't have any disgust or vigilance, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, Jinyi, come here." ”
"Yes." Xue Jinyi responded loudly.
Everyone was in high spirits, thinking that they had heard it wrong, until they saw Princess Chu standing by the emperor's side, and they didn't dare to believe it.
Empress Cai squinted her eyes and watched Xue Jinyi carefully and thoughtfully help the emperor put on a fur vest.
"Father," Xue Jinyi stroked her fur to make her clothes smoother, "what do you think?" ”
The emperor stretched out his arms, looked left and right, and the attendants intimately brought up the bronze mirror.
"Good." The emperor nodded, "Just the right size?" ”
"Yes." Xue Jinyi smiled, fortunately, her eyes were more poisonous, and she picked out the most suitable size, "Father, do you feel warm?" ”
The emperor rubbed his silky fur, "It's very warm, and I feel a little hot when I wear it at this time." ”
Xue Jinyi laughed, and the atmosphere between the two was harmonious as if they were biological father and daughter.
She helped the emperor take off the fur, folded it and put it back in the box, and asked in a coquettish voice like a little daughter, "Father, do you like it?" ”
"Yes, very much." The emperor finally seemed to be in a good mood, and there was a Christmas atmosphere in the Agarwood Pavilion, "But ah, I thought you would give me another calligraphy and painting." ”
Listening to the emperor's tone, he made no secret of his love for Princess Chu.
"Father, if Jinyi gives all kinds of gifts in one go, why should she break your head next time?" Xue Jinyi muttered quietly.
The crowd gasped again.
Princess Chu is too terrible, right?
The emperor also laughed out loud, and was in a very good mood.
Xue Jinyi smiled like a flower, and after retreating to Puyang Xuan's side, she saluted the emperor in unison, and then returned to her position.
Empress Cai raised her eyebrows, she could see it.
In the past Christmas festivals, everyone was respectful to the emperor and tried their best to flatter, but do you see less of these things on weekdays?
It's really a Christmas holiday, and the people invited are all people who are close to the royal family, and what is important is actually the warmth and harmony of the family after all.
Princess Chu grasped this point and faced the emperor with a daughter-like attitude, so that the emperor felt what he really wanted to get at Christmas, so he was happy.
Looking at the others, the other sons and daughters of the emperor don't have the courage to speak like this, and the meritorious ones can't put on such an attitude.
Empress Cai couldn't help but sigh again in her heart, why did she miss Xue Jinyi?
She glanced at Princess Chu and showed admiration, without any jealousy, and pressed the melancholy back to the bottom of her heart.
can't be in a hurry, and see if Xue Jinyi can get through the next difficulties.
