1701 Admiration at the Banquet

As the emperor said that the banquet was about to begin, there were singing, dancing and music, and everyone exchanged cups and cups for a while, and the birthday celebrations continued, but it was also lively.

Gu Xiaowan and Tan Yushu were sitting together, drinking the tea in front of them, talking in a low voice, enjoying the singing and dancing, originally thought they would wait until the banquet was over, but who knew that someone didn't want to make it easy for Gu Xiaowan.

I only heard Shu Min's charming voice say: "Aunt Queen Mother, today is your birthday, Min'er didn't send any good presents to Aunt Queen Mother, and she felt sad. I don't know what the other two princesses gave to make Aunt Queen Mother happy? Let Min'er study hard."

Shu Min looked curious and wanted to study hard. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager knew that she wanted to see the congratulatory gifts from Tan Yushu and Gu Xiaowan, and also knew that she had a bad relationship with Tan Yushu on weekdays, so she said lightly: "Whatever you give, the Ai family will be happy!"

Seeing the empress dowager's calm expression, Shu Min felt a little unconvinced, so relying on her status as the empress dowager's niece, she held the empress dowager's hand and said, "Aunt the empress dowager, I don't know what the Princess Huguo prepared for the aunt dowager." A gift? Let's see which gift the Empress Dowager aunt likes, and next year, Min'er will know how to prepare it."

The queen mother looked at this niece who wanted to see the gift very much, and her face was not happy. However, today is her birthday, so she couldn't reveal it, so she said: "Since you want to see it tomorrow, let's take a look! Ladies and gentlemen, keep your eyes open!"

Shu Min was overjoyed when she saw the Empress Dowager sent someone to get the gift.

She didn't care what Tan Yushu gave, but she knew what Gu Xiaowan gave!

It's just an embroidery, can it compare to the calligraphy and painting she spent a lot of money to find?

It was the favorite authentic work of the empress dowager's aunt, but she spent a lot of effort and money to buy it from others.

Shu Min was very proud, and looked provocatively at Tan Yushu and Gu Xiaowan opposite, with a burst of complacency on her face.

At this time, everyone was silent, and the hall was so quiet that even a needle was about to fall.

The Empress Dowager wanted them to see the congratulatory gifts from the three princesses, that was a big deal!

Not long after, Eunuch Qi came to the main hall followed by three eunuchs, bent down and said respectfully: "Empress Dowager, the gifts from the three princesses have been brought over."

"Let's unfold, let all the nobles open their eyes!" The empress dowager saw the gifts from the three princesses, and even her expression began to soften.

Then I heard Eunuch Qi say: "Expand!"

Immediately afterwards, a eunuch stepped forward to help, and the first picture that was opened was an ink painting sent by Shu Min. Everyone looked at it and exclaimed, "This is the real work of De Zhenren, and I have only seen it in books all the time. I didn’t expect to see it here, Princess Mingdu really has a heart, and sent such a good gift!”

The next thing he opened was a gift from Tan Yushu. Tan Yushu's gifts were a thousand-year-old ginseng and a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, both of which were found with great difficulty.

Everyone praised again.

When the gift from Gu Xiaowan was slowly unfolded, everyone seemed to see nothing but a big "Fu" floating in the air. When they got closer, they realized that the word "Fu" was embroidered on the On the silk as thin as a cicada's wings, the snow-white silk seemed to be blank.

Silk is inherently thin, and if it is to be embroidered, it is extremely easy to damage the silk, making it wrinkled and uneven, which damages the beauty of the silk.

However, there is nothing to worry about in the embroidery in front of me. The embroidery on the silk is separated from the silk one by one stitches, just like the word "Fu" is not embroidered on it, but dyed on the silk itself. Average above.

However, this is not the most important thing. The key is that the word "Fu" is actually composed of countless small "Fu" characters.

There are ninety-nine small blessing characters, forming a big blessing character, which happens to be one hundred.

Immediately afterwards, someone spoke again: "My God, is this the long-lost double-sided embroidery? Look, the characters on the back of this embroidery are exactly the same as those on the front!"

Sure enough, after everyone had seen it, the entire hall fell silent.

This is Baifutu.

Shu Min was complacent at first, but when everyone was amazed at Gu Xiaowan's birthday gift, who still remembered her gift, those onlookers all stood in front of Gu Xiaowan's gift and praised her.

And she secretly raised her eyes to look at the empress dowager, and saw that the empress dowager was talking to the emperor beside her with a smile, her eyes were looking at Gu Xiaowan, full of love.

Shu Min only felt that what she said just now seemed to slap her in the face. The empress dowager clearly knew that the things Gu Xiaowan sent were different, so when she was looking at herself, she didn't refuse to let her see.

Now, she originally wanted to show off on her birthday, but she didn't expect that she would put a layer of gold on Gu Xiaowan at the risk of herself, and she couldn't help but add another layer of hatred for Gu Xiaowan.

No, she can't just make Gu Xiaowan proud, isn't she from the countryside? Doesn't she have a lot of pen and ink in her stomach?

Then I don't know if she can sing and dance!

Thinking of this, Shu Min took a look at Su Qianyue while drinking tea, nodded to her, then stood up and said, "Aunt Queen Mother, today is your birthday, Min'er discussed with Miss Su's family that we should pay for Aunt Queen Mother. Prepare a show." Shu Min stood up and said.

"Oh? What program is it?" The Queen Mother asked curiously.

"Min'er plays the piano, Qianyue sings..." Shu Min didn't finish her sentence, she hesitated to speak.

"Ming has something to say...

..." Seeing Shu Min's hesitation, Shu Tianci said.

"Brother Xie Huang, Mingdu wants to invite Princess Anping to perform a dance. She just came to the capital not long ago, and I'm afraid she still doesn't know how she dances. Therefore, Min'er wants her to dance. I don't know if Princess Anping is willing or not." Willing?" Shu Min looked at her with embarrassment as if she was afraid that Gu Xiaowan would disagree, as if she was afraid that she would disagree.

When Tan Yushu heard that he wanted his sister to perform a dance, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, wanting to get up and stand up, but Gu Xiaowan hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't worry!"

But at this moment, no one spoke.
