Chapter 416

Seeing her unnatural expression, the old lady sighed secretly.

She didn't actually want to hit Lu Yunshuang, but she didn't want people to misunderstand that Lu Liangwei was not filial to her.

But she didn't exaggerate, the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist was indeed consecrated by Lu Liangwei himself when he went to Tianzhu Temple and asked the Muslim master to consecrate it himself.

Lu Liang knew that she would stop her, so she went to Tianzhu Temple secretly. By the time she knew it, it was already too late.

She was still thinking about Yanxuelou's killer, and she was afraid that Lu Liangwei would be in danger, but fortunately Weiwei was able to come back safe and sound.

Because of this, she cherished the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist even more. No matter what, it was a little bit of filial piety.

At this moment, Steward Wang rushed in, "Old Majesty, the Emperor sent Manager Zhao to present you a birthday present."

Hearing this, the voices present were silent.

The old lady was the first to react, stood up with Lu Liangwei's support, and wanted to go out to receive the gift, but before she could move, Zhao Gan led a group of people in from the door.

Seeing this battle, everyone was speechless.

Zhao Gan stepped forward with a smile, and said to the old lady: "Sit down quickly, old lady, today is your birthday, the emperor should have come to celebrate your birthday in person, but the emperor has been away from the palace for several days, and he has piled up a lot of important things. I really can't spare myself from government affairs, so I sent our family here to offer a birthday gift to the old matriarch."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of young eunuchs behind held the birthday gifts, stepped forward a few steps, and stood still in a row.

Zhao Gan uncovered the birthday presents held in their hands one by one.

Immediately, the entire hall was filled with light, making it hard to move your eyes away.

These birthday gifts were all made with great care, including longevity peach birthday noodles, and various precious birthday gifts, among which the most eye-catching ones were the pine tree and the crane held by the two young eunuchs in the center.

Both the pine tree and the crane are carved out of jade, the pine tree is emerald green, it looks lifelike when placed there, like the real thing, while the crane is milky white, but as tall as an eight or nine-year-old child.

Lu Liangwei saw it, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but look at the jade crane that Aunt Lan was holding.

There is no comparison, there is no harm.

If there is no Songhe, the jade crane that Lu Yunshuang gave is really good enough, but now comparing the two sides, this jade crane is not worth mentioning.

but--

Long Yang is back?

When did you come back?

Lu Liang tightened the handkerchief slightly.

Lu Yunshuang's complexion was already very stiff.

Just now, she was hit slightly by Lu Liang, and now the emperor came to join in the fun again. With the birthday gift from the emperor, the jade crane she gave seemed insignificant.

Sure enough, Zhao Gan pointed to the pair of pine cranes in the center and said, "This pair of pine cranes means taking pine cranes to pay homage to longevity, which means prolonging life. The emperor wishes the old lady a long and healthy life. Just like pine cranes, they can prolong life."

The old matriarch nodded, showing a touch of emotion on his face at the right time, "Thank you for the emperor's kindness on my behalf."

Zhao Gan shook his head, "This is what the emperor should do, you don't need to be polite, old lady." He said, directing the little eunuch to put the things in order.

All the people present were fine people, upon hearing this, one knew that the emperor really attached great importance to this marriage.

Otherwise, Director Zhao would not be allowed to present a gift and say such a thing.

Director Zhao's gesture indicated that the emperor regarded himself as the grandson-in-law of the old matriarch, not a high-ranking emperor, otherwise, Director Zhao would not have come directly to Fushou Hall instead of letting the old matriarch go out to greet the ceremony.
