Her Majesty the Queen

Chapter 15

The ethereal music spreads far away, and if you look inside, you will see a scene of singing and dancing.

Feng Lin held a wine glass carved from white jade, in which was crystal clear snow plum wine.She has been playing with the wine glass for a long time, but there is not even a drop of wine in the glass.

She never drank alcohol in modern times, and it was no exception when she came to the Northern Moon Dynasty.

Zi Su still sat beside her peacefully.Nothing wrong with it.Feng Lin couldn't understand why Zisu asked him to bring him into the palace for what purpose?
Feng Lin's eyes wandered around, unintentionally, they fell on Feng Jin's Zhengjun.This prince of Dongling Kingdom has a very handsome appearance, especially his pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes.Feng Lin stared at those eyes for a while, until Yan Mochen realized that she was peeping, and smiled slightly at her.

Feng Lin's heart flickered, the way Yan Mochen looked back at her just now reminded her of another person, the person who was sitting beside her now.

Feng Lin settled down and looked at Yan Mochen again.Looking at it this time, I feel that the two are clearly not alike at all. How could there be such a feeling just now?Feng Lin herself couldn't explain clearly.

In the middle of the birthday banquet, Feng Jin was the first to deliver her present.She held a black brocade box in her hands.When she was five meters away from the queen, she opened the brocade box, and the radiance inside was dazzling.

It wasn't until his eyes got used to the light that Feng Lin could clearly see what was inside, it was actually a night pearl the size of a goose egg.The luminous pearl is completely transparent, and the dazzling white light overflows from above.

Feng Jin presented the Ye Mingzhu, knelt down in front of the queen together with Yan Mochen, kowtowed and said: "I respectfully wish my mother the emperor to be as blessed as the East Sea and live longer than Nanshan."

Night pearls are common, but night pearls of this color and size are extremely rare.The male waiter took the Ye Mingzhu from Feng Jin's hand and brought it to the Queen, asking the Queen to have a look.

The queen glanced at Ye Mingzhu, then signaled the male waiter to accept her.She turned to look at Feng Jin and Yan Mochen who were kneeling on the ground and said, "Jin'er and Mochen have a heart."

Hearing what the empress said, Feng Jin looked at Feng Lin vaguely, with a smug expression.

Feng Lin secretly smiled in his heart, so what about rare treasures?I'm afraid it's not as good as what Zisu found, which can please the queen.

As the queen's second daughter, it will be her turn after Feng Jin passes.Feng Lin cast his eyes on Zisu, motioning him to take the box.Zisu nodded knowingly, took the wooden box placed on the table, and the two of them stepped forward together and knelt down on both knees.Feng Lin said: "I wish my mother a happy birthday."

Although Zi Su knelt down with Feng Lin, she didn't speak.He raised the wooden box over his head and presented it to the Empress.

The Queen's attitude towards Feng Lin was completely different from that towards Feng Jin. She was smiling and curious about the birthday gift Feng Lin sent. "What did Lin'er prepare for the Queen Mother?"

Feng Lin opened the wooden box in Zisu's hand, and said loudly: "This gift is Zisu's heart, I hope the Queen Mother will like it."

Zisu didn't expect Feng Lin to say this, he secretly looked at the queen sitting on the dragon chair, and sure enough, the smile on her face froze, and she put on a bewildered expression.

Feng Lin's movements were not fast, and there was quite a bit of suspense for the waiting crowd.After all, Feng Jin's gift is so rare, Feng Lin's gift should not be too shabby.However, when the wooden box was fully opened, everyone was disappointed, because it was not a rare treasure, but half a box of full-grained rice.

For Feng Lin's birthday gift, no one knew why.What is it like to send half a box of rice for the queen's birthday?
Seeing puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Feng Lin explained: "This is rice that Zisu begged for from an ordinary household."

Feng Lin's words not only did not clear up the confusion for everyone, but made them even more confused.The empress finally couldn't help asking: "What is the meaning of Lin'er taking this rice as a birthday present?"

Feng Lin smiled but said nothing, she grabbed a handful of rice from the wooden box, walked up to the ministers, and asked, "What do you think of this rice?"

Everyone stretched their necks to look at the rice in Feng Lin's hands, whispered to each other from time to time, and finally they all replied in unison: "The grains are big and full, it's really good rice!"

After receiving everyone's answers, Feng Lin returned to Zisu's side. She put the rice back into the wooden box, and continued: "Since the reign of the Queen Mother, our Beiyue Dynasty has not only prospered the country, but also the people have been able to live and work in peace and contentment, with ample food and clothing. This rice It is a symbol of the prosperity of our Beiyue Dynasty, and a symbol of the prosperity of the people. These are all thanks to your mother, the emperor, on behalf of the thousands of people in Beiyue, I thank the mother for her kindness."

When seeing the birthday gift prepared by Zisu at the gate of Prince Lin's mansion, Feng Lin came up with this line.High-ranking people always like to be complimented, and she thinks this empress is no different.

As soon as Feng Lin finished speaking, he gave the empress a royal gift.After Feng Lin knelt down, even all the courtiers couldn't help but knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live. I will thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of thousands of people in Beiyue."

In the hall, the shouts were deafening and inspiring.

The queen was in a very good mood, after all, no birthday gift could be more joyful than the support of the courtiers and the common people.She raised her hands high, with a smile on her face, and said: "Everyone loves you."

When everyone stood up together, the empress looked at Feng Lin, she nodded slightly, and said lovingly: "Lin'er's gift is very suitable for me." After finishing speaking, she said to the attendant beside her: "Pass my gift to you." The decree is to reduce the taxes of all the people in Beiyue by [-]%, so as to forgive the world."

The attendant retreated.

All the ministers replied in unison: "The emperor is wise."

Feng Jin didn't expect that the Ye Mingzhu she had worked so hard to find was not as good as Feng Lin's broken rice.Her hands were completely hidden in the wide sleeves, and no one saw her tightly clenched hands.Her whole body was shaking with anger.

One day, she will climb to the pinnacle of power and trample Feng Lin under her feet.Feng Jin secretly swears.

Returning to their seats together with Zisu, before Feng Lin sat down, he heard Zisu's voice coming from behind. "My lord, Zisu wants to go out to get some air."

Feng Lin turned around because of Zisu's words, she looked straight at Zisu, as if she wanted to look into his heart.However, Zisu still had a calm expression, and it didn't fluctuate in the slightest because of the suspicion in her eyes.

Feng Lin pondered for a while, opened and closed his tightly pressed lips, and said two words from his lips, "Go."

If he has some purpose in coming to the palace, then it doesn't matter if she fulfills him.Now he can't make any troubles, just don't provoke her, what else has anything to do with her?

With Feng Lin's approval, Zi Su turned around without hesitation and walked out of the hall.

Feng Lin looked at Zi Su's back for a moment.Suddenly, she subconsciously looked at Yan Mochen beside Feng Jin.However, when she looked over, there was no one around Feng Jin.

Yan Mochen is also not there, is this a coincidence, or premeditated?Feng Lin didn't want to jump to conclusions.
