Chapter Ninety-Eight: Reward

It's not that the enemies don't get together, Liu Hui actually went to the palace with Yun Xiao to celebrate his birthday.

See what you take to offer to the Queen Mother, if you take out tofu to deal with it. will find out the matter of your daughter buying a concubine, and impeach you in public. Look at how you get out this time, Liu Hui looked at the clouds in the team and thought suspiciously.

The large and heavy gifts of Shangshou were sent to the palace in advance, and only those small and easy to carry would be presented to the Queen Mother in person by the devotee. Liu Hui had already inquired about it, and Yun Xiao did not send the gifts to Changle Palace in advance. Instead, he chose to offer his birthday gift in person.

"Mother, those boys are in. Let's see what he will offer to your old man this year, if he dares to fool you with tofu again. I punished him severely. ”

Liu Qi saw Yun Xiao standing in the team from afar, turned his head and said to the Queen Mother.

"Well, I heard that this kid spent thousands of gold to buy a concubine. If you fool my wife with those worthless things again, I will punish him for a year's worth of money, which will be regarded as a longevity for the old man. ”

The Queen Mother teased with a smile in her mouth.

Liu Wu, who was sitting at the bottom, heard Yun Xiao coming in, and cheered up to look for Yun Xiao in the team.

Yun Xiao was easy to find, because the people who came in were all old men. The youngest is just a middle-aged uncle, and they are all guys with long beards. Only Yun Xiao didn't have a beard, and if it weren't for his short hair, maybe some people would really think he was a little eunuch in the palace.

"The ministers congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and hope that the Queen Mother will be healthy and auspicious."

Yun Xiao sang praises with the courtiers, and stood at the back of the line with his head lowered. As if wishing everyone couldn't see him.

"No courtesy."

The Queen Mother said two words in a heartfelt manner, and Yun Xiao secretly praised it in his heart when he heard the Queen Mother's voice. Who said that it is rare for people to live for seventy years, and it is not a problem to mix it for another ten or eight years with this full of Zhongqi.

"I heard that Yun Boy is here, Marquis of Lintong. What kind of birthday gift did you bring to the old body? ”

As soon as the courtiers stood up, the Queen Mother rushed to ask. Liu Hui secretly sneered, because just now he saw a little chamberlain handing him a lacquered wooden box in his hand. It seems that it is something like eating again, boy, don't blame Lao Tzu for having black hands. You also play with the Queen Mother, you deserve to be unlucky.

Yun Xiao stood up with the box and said with a deep salute: "Empress Dowager Qi, the minister specially ordered someone to create a gadget. may be able to win the queen mother's happiness. ”

"Oh. The stuff you make is something new. Hurry up and bring it up. I'm also feasting my eyes. ”

Liu Qi was helping beside him, holding back his strength in his heart to pit Yunxiao. As long as the Queen Mother has a dissatisfied, Yun Xiao's Yulu this year will be considered a waste.

Yun Xiao put the box he was carrying on the ground, opened the lid of the box, and a palm-sized hand stove appeared in front of everyone. Aunt Ying got Yunxiao's letter. Early in the morning, he ordered someone to wait beside him. Yun Xiao waved his hand. A small waiter carrying a kettle of boiling water ran over.

The long spout poured boiling water into it. Yun Xiao closed the lid. Holding his hands in his hands, he said, "Queen Mother, winter is coming." The kid has created a warm jade hand stove for you, hoping that the Queen Mother will be healthy and enjoy the blessings of the immortals forever. ”

Aunt Ying came over in person. He took the hand warmer from Yun Xiao's hand. I had heard that Yun Xiao had prepared a congratulatory gift, but I hadn't seen it yet. If you see it, you think this thing is really chic, and it is not hot at all when you put it in your hand.

"Queen Mother, this hand stove is indeed a good object. It is rare for the Marquis of Lintong to find so many warm jades. ”

Aunt Ying put the hand stove into the hand of the Queen Mother and praised.

The Queen Mother touched the stove and felt the warmth of the tentacles and a warm current flowing all over her body. It was indescribably comfortable, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

Liu Qi was about to compliment, but suddenly the Queen Mother kept twitching her nose. Hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you." ”

"What does it smell like? It's weird and smells good, and it smells like my brain is much clearer. ”

"Uh......"

Liu Qi looked at Aunt Ying innocently, and then looked at Liu Wu. Both of them shook their heads, and the blind people had a more sensitive sense of smell and hearing than normal people. The fragrance of mint had just evaporated, and they naturally hadn't smelled it yet.

"Mother, I haven't heard anything. It's ......"

Liu Qi glanced at the hand stove held by the Queen Mother in his hand suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, this hand stove can emit a strange fragrance. The scent will come out after the heat is triggered, and if you don't smell it, it must be because the volatilization is not strong enough. The thing that gives off the fragrance is called perfume, and this perfume for the Queen Mother is made of herbs and has the effect of refreshing the mind. ”

While Yun Xiao was speaking, the mint perfume volatilized faster and faster through the hot air. When Liu Qi heard the fragrance of mint, his mind, which had been receiving many ministers in a row, suddenly cleared up. Liu Wu next to him also felt this way, and felt that this taste was very fresh and pure. It gives people a sense of freshness and refinement, and can't help but make people feel refreshed.

The Queen Mother was even more happy, and said with a smile: "The things this kid gave are heartwarming, and this gift is not valuable, but in the heart." The old body can feel this thing when he touches it, and this kid has put his mind into it. This is the best congratulatory gift that the old man has received today. Majesty, the Marquis of Lintong should be rewarded. ”

"Okay, mother, you said that we will reward him greatly. Marquis Lintong, what kind of grace do you want, tell me. Today, the Queen Mother is rarely happy, and I will reward you with whatever you want. ”

Yun Xiao scolded in his heart, old guy. Lao Tzu wants your daughter, are you willing to give it? It's clear that you don't want to bleed, and you want to reward people, where is there a reason for people to want something.

scolded in his heart, but he still had to say: "Qi Xià, what the ministers have now is the grace of His Majesty and the Queen Mother." Wechen doesn't lack anything now, and honoring the Queen Mother is what we should do as courtiers......"

"Little slippery head, the old body said to reward you. You still hold it, I heard that you spent 5,000 gold to buy a concubine, is there such a thing? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen is ridiculous for a while......"

"I bought it, I bought it, but it was too expensive. To be a man, you have to know how to cherish blessings, you see that my wife is not also two meals and one night. In the future, you are not allowed to do this, and it is also reasonable to see that your Yun family is thin and buys a few concubines.

That's it, Aunt Ying. ”

"The slave is here."

Aunt Ying hurriedly walked to the queen mother and bowed.

"In the palace, I picked four clever and handsome palace maids to reward him. Let his Yun family have more heirs, and only when the people are prosperous can the family house prosper. ”

"No"

Yes...... Yun Xiao stood stunned for a moment, there was already one in the three palaces at home. Three women in one play, good guy, you stuff a few extras into it. This scene is even more lively, the seven women can't be the gourd brothers uniting to fight monsters. If this makes trouble, it will definitely be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, which will not allow Lao Tzu to live.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

Yun Xiao hurriedly wanted to push out this hot potato, but he couldn't ask for it.

"Okay, the Queen Mother will reward you. Don't excuse yourself, step down. Qiandu called the next batch. ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest. Yun Xiao had no choice but to walk out with more than a dozen marquises. During the entire interview process, only Yun Xiao answered with Liu Qi and the Queen Mother. The others didn't have a chance to say a word, which made these marquis even more impressed with Yun Xiao. secretly praised this kid for his cleverness, and won the favor of the queen mother with a hand stove.

One by one, they bowed their hands to Yun Xiao, and chatted with each other, saying that Yun Xiao had won the four beauties of the Han Palace, and asked Yun Xiao to treat Yun Yun. Yun Xiao's stomach was full of bitter water, and he had to bite the bullet to socialize with these court officials.

After talking for a while, he suddenly saw a little chamberlain come over, saluted Yun Xiao, and then said to Yun Xiao: "Aunt Ying, please come to the Yulan Pavilion." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yun Xiao will come as soon as he goes."

Everyone thought that Aunt Ying asked him to choose the palace people, so they laughed and let him go.

Yun Xiao followed the little chamberlain and passed through the pavilion. Turn left and turn right to the door of a palace, Yun Xiao has never been here. However, it is not surprising that Changle Palace is the place where the Queen Mother is honored. Yun Xiao naturally hasn't been here a few times, in fact, he hasn't been to Weiyang Palace a few times, and Yun Xiao has been to Yixinzhai the most in the two palaces.

"Marquis Lintong, someone is waiting for you inside."

After saying that, he made a gesture of please, and as soon as Yun Xiao opened the curtain and walked in, he felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing. (To be continued......)
