Chapter 7 Humiliating the Queen Mother

The Queen Mother's hair was already gray on her temples, but her phoenix eyes were sharp. When she saw Ning Wan's child, her sharp eyes changed. She put on a smile and waved to her: "Girl Wan'er, come here."

Ning Wan'er looked happy and walked slowly towards the Queen Mother as she was told.

Everyone looked at her with envy. She was the only one who could be pampered and favored by the Queen Mother.

"I wish the Queen Mother a long life as long as the sky, and a long life without boundaries." Ning Wan'er did not sit down directly, but gave a birthday gift to the Queen Mother, and then continued, "I know that the Queen Mother loves calligraphy and painting the most, so I went to ask for it a few days ago. Master Mo Jiang has painted an ink painting but has not given it a name yet. I would like to ask the Queen Mother to give it a name."

She slowly unfolded the scroll in her hand. The ink painting in front of her was vigorous and powerful, but also had the softness of Jiangnan. It was a masterpiece.

Everyone looked at it in amazement!

"Wan'er is really thoughtful. Master Mo Jiang's paintings are hard to come by. If you can see them one day, you will have no regrets in this life." Some people couldn't help but praise.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Ning Wan'er's eyes gradually softening, and pondered for a moment, "Since she comes from Jiangnan, let's call her Jiangnan."

Ning Wan'er smiled brightly and said sweetly: "As the ancients said, Jiangnan is good and the scenery is familiar to me. The name given by the Queen Mother is really nice."

At this time, Situ Yu also stood up: "I also have a birthday gift to give to my queen mother."

The Queen Mother looked at him with a smile and curiosity in her eyes: "Oh? What kind of gift is it?"

The palace servant came up with a plate, and there was a scroll-like picture scroll on it. He slowly opened it, surprising everyone again.

"Master Mo Jiang's masterpiece!"

Everyone exploded, all shocked and admiring.

This birthday banquet was really eye-catching. I saw two paintings by Master Mo Jiang at once, and even a masterpiece!

Both of them gave Master Mo Jiang's last words to the Queen Mother, the significance of which was self-evident. The Queen Mother also noticed the trick and glanced at the two of them with meaningful eyes.

Everyone was talking a lot. Listening to their discussion, Ning Wan'er unconsciously raised the corners of her lips and turned to look at Gu Ning. Seeing her calm expression, her eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Empress Dowager, in fact, the gift from my daughter is not the rarest. The most precious gift is from my sister." Ning Wan'er stepped forward and saluted with a smile, "My sister treasures this birthday gift. I heard that she worked hard to find it. "

Suddenly, everyone's attention shifted to Gu Ning, looking passionately at the contents of the gift box in front of her table.

More precious than Master Mo Jiang’s masterpieces? What it is?

"Oh?" The Queen Mother became interested, her phoenix eyes slightly raised to fall on Gu Ning, "Is there anything more precious than Mo Jiang's famous painting? Yun family girl, you might as well take it out and have a look."

Knowing her purpose, Gu Ning sipped her tea to cover up the cold light in her eyes, stood up and saluted. As soon as she picked it up to say congratulations, she found that the gift box was heavy.

Gu Ning secretly opened a corner of the box. Inside was a piece of broken jade as black as ink, and her face suddenly darkened.

The gift has been repackaged!

The palace maid didn't give Gu Ning a chance to think. She took the birthday gift box and presented it to her. Just when the Queen Mother was about to open it, she hurriedly spoke to stop her: "Queen Mother, this is not..."

But it was too late. The Queen Mother's face looked ugly to the naked eye. Everyone looked over curiously. In the opened box, there was a piece of jade that was so dark that the original color could not be seen. It was so shabby that some people were immediately surprised.

Are the Yun family crazy? To actually use a piece of rag as a birthday gift is a clear insult to the Queen Mother!
