Chapter 2036 Yan Beicheng and His Wife
Chapter 457 Yan Beicheng and his wife
After saying that, she asked Qin Ya to go down and present the prepared birthday gift.
It's really not a rare thing, but a pair of glass cups from a foreign land.
Everyone had expected expressions, but Liu Qianqian's complexion changed suddenly, and a bit of unwillingness and doubt flashed in his eyes.
Ordinary people are fine, maybe the nobles who attend the royal banquet will be prepared by the couple, and each will prepare a gift. She never thought that Mo Shanghua didn't prepare it!
No, not right.
If she wasn't prepared, why did she send someone to wait in the apse with a gift, or did that lowly maid make a mistake?
As thoughts turned in her mind, Liu Qianqian's delicate and soft face was a little flustered, and her hands were disturbing the handkerchief in her hand.
Yan Mo's eyes were also slightly disappointed.
He thought that Yan Beicheng would definitely stand up for this opportunity, but he never thought that it was just an ordinary glass cup.
It seems that he still thinks highly of Yan Beicheng.
The gift of the two, compared to others, this gift is indeed ordinary, it can even be called shabby.
But the Empress Dowager definitely didn't have the gift of blame, she sent someone to accept it, and said with a smile: "Your couple's grievances are known to everyone, so how can you blame them, I just feel sorry for you in that bitter cold place."
After a pause, she continued with a loving face: "Come here, give the golden jade statue just given by the ninth princess, and the blue and white glaze of the twelve princes to King Yu and his wife, and they are rewarding a thousand taels of gold."
Even if Yan Beicheng was not favored, he didn't feel that he should be so shabby, it would be a loss of face to the royal family. As the model of the country, the queen mother should not be too harsh on the bright side.
Seeing this, the queen felt a little reluctance in her heart, but she still said generously and gently: "These two children have suffered a lot, so this palace will also reward the few luminous pearls that the emperor rewarded a few days ago. You guys, pick out half of the Suzhou embroidery that Jiangnan will supply this year and send it to you."
It's like a queen who is the same as the mother of the world.
The empress dowager gave so many benefits to Yan Beicheng and his wife at once, which made all the princes and princesses jealous, and made the nine princesses and twelve princes extremely unwilling. After all, they had prepared those things a few months in advance. It was just given to Yan Beicheng and his wife, so they were naturally unhappy.
But when they thought about how poor the two of them lived, they both became more balanced.
The Empress Dowager was also very good at reassuring people's hearts. After rewarding Yan Beicheng and his wife, she said to the others: "The Ai family is in a very good mood today, and I know your thoughts well. Naturally, everyone will have a reward. Later, the Ai family will send people to reward each other."
The grievances in the hearts of the princes and princesses eased a little, and they stood up and said together: "Thank you, Grandmother."
Yan Moli, who stood up together, had a smile on his lips, but the gloom that flashed in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
It's not because of the reward, it's just that he secretly underestimated Yan Beichengmoshanghua.
Such a shabby birthday gift was obviously intentional.
Firstly, it is equivalent to showing weakness to the princes, saying that he is too busy to take care of himself and cannot compete with them; secondly, it is to win the Queen Mother's reward and pity.
Really clever.
Thinking about it, it must be inseparable from his capable princess.
Forget it, let them do it this time. After all, they didn't affect their plans after all.
The princes and princesses have presented gifts to the queen mother, and now it is naturally the turn of the courtiers.
All officials are headed by the prime minister, so naturally Liu Bohan started.
