Chapter 46

Concubine Xian's birthday banquet was arranged in the Fangfei Hall next to the imperial garden, a palace dedicated to royal banquets, resplendent and magnificent.When the door of the hall is open, the fragrance of hundreds of flowers hits, which is very refreshing.

Yuping looked more joyful than Concubine Xian, picking out clothes and jewelry, while her master was lying on the chaise longue and rocking leisurely.

"Yuping, it's almost enough. Look at how picky you are, it's almost in time for the day when Bengong will marry into the palace."

I squeezed a piece of candied fruit into my mouth, then spit it out again, with a disgusted expression on my face: "It's too sweet. If you say this imperial chef is really useless, the candied fruit is still delicious from Cuiminglou!"

Suddenly remembered something, pointed to the silver-red brocade dress: "That's it!"

Yuping took a look, this was the first one she eliminated, old-fashioned, how could he be worthy of her charming master.

Persuaded: "Your Majesty, wear this pine flower peach red, it's extravagant!"

Concubine Xian stood up from her chair, walked over slowly, and insisted on the silver-red one.

He frowned, slightly disgusted: "Yuping, you said that you are not too young, and you have been with me for such a long time, how can you not think about the problem at all?"

Yuping felt that she was very considerate, and she didn't know what her master meant by her words, so she immediately corrected her attitude and prepared to listen to the teachings.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Concubine Xian had no choice but to explain more clearly: "Qingshuang is going to send me candies and cakes today. If your pine flower color is stained with cake crumbs, will I lose my face?"

Yuping: "."

She really thought about it a lot, but she just forgot about the foodie attribute of her master.

After bathing, changing clothes, and dressing up, Yuping helped his handsome master to Fangfei Hall.

Back then, when the late emperor was still there, the busiest time in Fangfei Palace was the master's birthday banquet, what a scene!
I met Gu Jinhao on the road, Concubine Xian was in a good mood, so she left with him.

"Jinhao, my concubine reminds you that the Princess of Chu is also here this time, so stay away from her."

Gu Jinhao: "How is it far away?"

"According to your usual virtue and restraint."

Gu Jinhao: "."

Concubine Xian heard him sigh, and said again: "Look at your terrible comprehension, it's really embarrassing to your mother! If you really don't understand, just be as blind as you were before."

Gu Jinhao: "."

He really didn't need to ask that sentence!
When they arrived at the Fangfei Palace, except for the emperor, the queen mother and Qin Shaojuan's brother and sister, everyone else who should have arrived had arrived.

Concubine Xian raised her hand to let the saluting people fall flat, looking around for the birthday gift of the little girl she missed.

Shen Qingshuang wore a tea-white moon flower dress today, it was very low-key, but it highlighted the sense of elegance.

Since Shen Qinglang told her to be careful before entering the palace, she had the feeling that she was always ready to be assassinated.

She sat in her seat very honestly, just like Lin Daiyu when she first entered Jia's mansion, she refused to say a word or take a step.Gu Yunjian was surprised by how quiet it was, thinking that the little girl had been wronged.

"Do you not like this kind of occasion?" Gu Yunjian walked up to her and asked softly.

Shen Qingshuang knew he was coming only after hearing the voice, and raised her head subconsciously.

Gu Yunjian was immediately amused, the little girl was eating the cake, her mouth was bulging, and there were still some debris at the corner of her mouth.

No wonder it's so quiet!
He pointed to the corner of his mouth, she understood, smiled embarrassedly, took out a handkerchief and wiped it.

Swallowing the cake in his mouth, he took out another piece from the box next to him: "Brother Yunjian, do you want to eat? Let me tell you, this kind of banquet is not enough to eat, so don't starve yourself."

Gu Yunjian picked it up by accident and said, "You did it?"

"Yes."

She pointed to two beautifully packaged boxes, one big and one small, "The big one is for the concubine Xian, and the small one is for the little prince. I promised last time, and I can't break my promise. Do you want more?" ? I still have more!"

"Give me a piece!"

Gu Jinhao came over at some point, and looked very dissatisfied.His hand stretched out, Shen Qingshuang had no choice but to put a piece on his hand.

If he eats one more piece, he eats one less piece.

"Come out, I have something to tell you." Gu Jinhao took a bite of the cake and said to her.

Shen Qingshuang didn't move, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother told me to be honest and not run around."

"I really listen to your elder brother." Gu Jinhao ate the rest of the cake in one bite, "Mother concubine asked me to come to you for a birthday present."

"Now?"

In such a hurry?
Looking up at Concubine Xian, she was smiling and waving at her.

Holding the box, he followed Gu Jinhao to the past, but before he arrived, the concubines and noble ladies in the harem rushed to surround him.

Looking at the well-dressed flower-like people and the brocade boxes they held, Shen Qingshuang instantly felt a little shabby.

The gold hairpin, gold step Yao, jade bracelet, jade pendant, and jade ruyi made people dazzled and dizzy, and then looked at what he had in his hand with a guilty conscience.

Concubine Xian was surrounded by these Yingyingyanyans, almost out of breath.Looking at all the vulgar gifts, I have no interest at all.

Do you think she is an upstart who has never seen the world?

Looking at the birthday presents piled up like a hill, Yuping felt very worried, and started to plan the expansion of the warehouse again.

There are so many repetitive things every year, boring!
"Qingshuang, where's yours?" Seeing the little girl pouted outside, Concubine Xian hastily pulled her in.

Seeing that she was so valued, those women whispered among themselves, more with disdain.

Shen Qingshuang directly ignored everyone's gaze and presented the gift box.

Concubine Xian couldn't wait to open it, the box was full of beautiful pastries and candies, enough to last for three days.

Eyes narrowed into a slit, it was the little girl who understood her mind best.

Everyone's eyes are straightened, can this also be a birthday gift?
Several of them laughed.

Concubine Wan was the first to speak, she covered her mouth and laughed straight: "Miss Shen, your gift is really ingenious, and you have done all the work in the imperial dining room."

Concubine Liang followed closely: "Isn't it? Ms. Shen used cakes as a birthday gift. Such a shabby, obviously disrespectful concubine."

Concubine Xian listened to the sour words, and said bluntly: "Shut up, both of you! Singing together, you deliberately upset Bengong! How delicious are these cakes, the palace wants to eat them, but they can't eat them!"

Concubine Wan and Concubine Liang were devastated, so they had no choice but to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

Gu Jinhao reached out to the box to grab a piece of cake, but before he touched it, Concubine Xian slapped the back of his hand.

Do you want to die if you dare to take her baby?

Seeing that Concubine Xian valued the gift from Shen Qingshuang so much, Fang Ning'er was very jealous when she saw that the jade bracelet she bought at a huge price was buried in the pile of birthday gifts.

"Qingshuang, you won't just send a box of pastries, will you?"

Seeing that it was her, Shen Qingshuang smiled and said, "Of course not, there is also a small gold medal."

After finishing speaking, he took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Concubine Xian.

"A box of pastries plus a gold medal?" Fang Ning'er laughed, "The General Ding'an's Mansion is not so poor that they can't even afford decent gifts, right?"

There was another whisper in the crowd.

Fang Mingzhu smiled, she knew that she was not welcomed by Concubine Xian, so she kept silent, unexpectedly her sister vented her anger on her.

Shen Qingshuang was not afraid, and smiled slightly: "Ning'er, do you call this poor? Can't help but make me full of curiosity about the property of the Xiangfu!"

Fang Ning'er's face changed, and she said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Shen Qingshuang smiled and said: "I'm joking. The gift is not about the value, but about the heart. The empress dowager is in a high position, so she has no shortage of gold and silver jewelry, so I personally made some cakes for her to taste. As for the brand , you can dine at Cuiming Building for free within one year."

Cuiminglou, the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, costs hundreds of taels for the most common meal.

Free for a year, this gift is worth more than anything else in the bunch!

The crowd sighed. They thought it was bronze, but they didn't expect it to be the king. After all, it was General Ding'an's mansion. The move was generous!
I have all the face inside!

Fang Ning'er's face turned embarrassing, and she stopped talking.

Concubine Xian smiled happily and patted the little girl's hand: "It's still Qingshuang who understands Bengong's heart, this is the best gift I have received."

"It's good that the lady likes it!"

Concubine Xian smiled from ear to ear: "I like it. But why is it a year?"

Gu Jinhao said quietly: "Because Qingshuang of our family is a little lazy, if it is free for ten or eight years, he will have to think about gifts in the next few years, right?"

Shen Qingshuang gave him a look of approval, she really understands her!
Just what kind of bullshit did the dog prince say?
"Who belongs to your family?" She muffled, "Your Highness, please pay attention to your wording."
