On the ninth day of the eleventh month, the Empress Dowager's birthday is celebrated.

Hundreds of officials present gifts. Those officials, big and small, who can be called the top, line up to give gifts to the Queen Mother. Officials below the fifth rank will never see the Queen Mother at all. The gifts they send are only the eunuchs registered by the Internal Affairs Bureau. Done.

After the emperor was busy with his own affairs, he rushed to Fu'an Palace to visit the queen mother.

As in previous years, the Fu'an Palace was very lively, and there were countless gorgeous and exquisite gifts, which were constantly being transported to the warehouse by the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Empress Mother, this year's birthday is more lively than in previous years!" The emperor smiled and entered the hall, bowing slightly to the empress dowager, who was sitting in the main seat, dressed in rich and noble clothes.

The queen mother pursed her lips and chuckled, and it could be seen that she was also very satisfied with this birthday.

"The queen has a heart. This birthday is hers. I heard that she has prepared for a lot of days. Everyone is tired and thin. Emperor, you have to reward her."

The emperor also laughed, and answered again and again, but his eyes seemed a little unnatural, and then changed the topic: "Has the mother received something she likes today?"

"Yes, yes, look at this." The Empress Dowager waved to the palace maid on the side, and the maid hurriedly took a red velvet box over, opened the box lid, and a beautiful and unique jade pendant appeared in front of the emperor's eyes.

The emperor's complexion changed abruptly, he immediately took the box from the palace maid's hand, took out the jade pendant inside and took a closer look, the more he looked, the worse his expression became.

"Emperor, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with this thing?" She is the queen mother, what treasures have you never seen before? But such a special jade pendant, and the texture is still very rare, she liked it as soon as she saw it, and just played with it for a while.

The emperor asked anxiously, "Where did this come from?"

The queen mother said: "It was sent by Baiguan, what's the matter?"

The emperor asked again, "Who sent it?"

The queen mother took a look at the palace maid, and the palace maid hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor's words, this jade is sent by the Lord Cangzhifu of Dongyangfu."

The emperor immediately said to the eunuch who was with him: "Immediately announce that this person will go to the imperial study to see me, and also, let someone go to Jin Wang's mansion to find Sun Steward of Jin's mansion, and ask him to bring the person from the king's manor's warehouse with him. ."

When the eunuch went, the queen mother asked eagerly, "What is going on here? What are you doing with the steward of the Jin palace?"

The emperor pointed to the jade in his hand and said, "This jade belongs to Yan'er, how could it be in the hands of this Cangzhi Mansion? It should have been in the Jin Dynasty's mansion, how could it have appeared in the hands of others? It was even sent to you as a birthday gift. in hand."

The queen mother also changed her face: "This, this is something from Yan'er? Are you right?"

The emperor said: "There are only two pieces of jade pendant in the world. Dongfang Mu got it from an expert outside the world. When I and Dongfang Mu made a marriage plan for Yan'er, this jade pendant was a token, something like this. , can I admit I'm wrong?"

It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. The Queen Mother is very regretful. She finally got the same object that she likes. It turned out to be Yan'er's betrothal token.

The emperor didn't sit long, and hurried away with the jade pendant.
