"Luo Lan understands."
After leaning over and replying this sentence, she generously walked to the empty seat next to Leng Xi and sat down. Leng Xi didn't forget to wink at her with his side face, but Luo Lan ignored him. For the royal people, She doesn't have much favorable impressions.
She actually noticed Yu Qiaoqiao, who was smiling at her with narrowed eyes. She nodded to her as a sign of friendship, and Yu Qiaoqiao nodded to her in the same way.
A Cai and A Hong saw their master changing positions, and they quietly came to stand behind her.
Everything returned to calm, and the eunuch in charge shouted loudly:
"Now, please let the juniors present their birthday gifts one by one."
After hearing this, Wu Linlin was the first to speak. She sat where she was, bowed slightly and said:
"Originally, I prepared a dance to wish my mother and concubine happy, but I can't move my waist, so I will play a song for my mother and concubine."
Hearing this, Concubine Chang greeted her with a smile and praised:
"Linlin has been versatile since she was a child. She deserves to be the most talented girl in the capital. She is injured and cannot dance, but she can also sing music, which my mother and concubine love to listen to."
After being praised, the corners of Wu Linlin's mouth raised slightly, and she proudly took the pipa handed over by her servant. She played it lightly with her fingers, and melodious music flowed from her fingers.
Luo Lan didn't think her music was very nice. If she was allowed to play it, it would definitely be ten thousand times better than hers. However, she didn't like to be in the limelight. Others were pretending to listen attentively, so she just listened to it for the time being. Listen.
At this time, Leng Xi leaned towards her and lowered his voice:
"Can the emperor's sister-in-law understand music?"
"don't know."
Luo Lan denied it directly, "How can someone from the countryside understand music?"
Seeing that she didn't like to talk to him, Leng Xi sat upright and closed his mouth.
The piece played by Wu Linlin ended quickly, and everyone applauded and praised her endlessly.
Wu Linlin clapped her hands outside twice more, and then someone came in carrying something covered with red cloth.
Her pretty face lit up, and she proudly said to Concubine Chang:
"Mother, on your birthday, the prince really has something to do, so I asked my son to give you a gift for him. I hope you won't dislike it."
After saying that, she waved her hand to the servant, and the red cloth covering the thing was removed. Inside was a huge jade Ruyi carved from white jade.
This thing seemed to be worth a lot of money. Concubine Chang was naturally delighted and nodded happily.
"I thank Yun'er on behalf of my mother and concubine. My mother and concubine are really happy for this great gift."
The emperor couldn't help but praise it, "I really like this thing when I see it. Yoona is really thoughtful."
Wu Linlin replied with a busy smile:
"When my father celebrates his birthday, I will ask the prince to make a bigger Ruyi statue for his father. The prince has said that I will use this jade to wish my father good health, wish my mother and concubine all the best, and wish the Daning Kingdom a prosperous and prosperous life. "
The emperor loved to hear these words, and Concubine Chang was so happy that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Everyone praised her again, saying that the princess had a sweet mouth and that the prince Leng Yun was sensible.
While Wu Linlin's eyes were full of pride, she hated Luo Lan even more. If it weren't for her, how could she have dodged her waist? If she hadn't dodged her waist, her best Phoenix Dance would surely amaze everyone again.
According to the order, it is now the turn of the people from Prince Yu's palace to come forward, because among the princes, Leng Yu is second only to Prince Leng Yun in age.
The emperor looked at Luo Lan, who was bowing his head in thought, and asked:
"Princess Yu, what birthday gift did you bring?"
Because Luo Lan really didn't want to listen to Wu Linlin's playing, nor did she want to hear her flattering words, she was thinking about what Leng Yu said to her last night.
In order to find out about Nanny Sun, she made an agreement with Leng Yu before she came. She would find an excuse to stay in the palace for one night today, and go back tomorrow to make arrangements for the people who would go to Ninggu Pagoda with him, and then prepare the people he would take with him on the way. items, and they will set off tomorrow night before the city gate closes.
So she thought about bringing Leng Yu some of his favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake tomorrow, and also brought some more money. It was cold there, so she needed to bring more clothes to keep out the cold. If that didn't work, she would buy him a set of fox skins. But it seems that you can’t buy one in the capital. If he had said he wanted to go earlier, it would be great to have one made for him.
"Princess Yu..."
The emperor's voice suddenly rose, and Luo Lan, who was wandering in her thoughts, was brought back to her thoughts by his voice. She sat upright and said "oh" without knowing why.
Leng Xi frowned and whispered:
"Hey, Sister-in-law, my father asked you what kind of birthday gift you have prepared for Concubine Chang Gui?"
After Leng Xi's reminder, Luo Lan realized that it was her turn.
At this time, Wu Linlin was looking at her with joy, as if she wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, because everyone knew that Prince Yu's Mansion was very poor and would definitely not be able to give decent gifts. Half of them were watching and half were worried about her.
Luo Lan stood up slowly. Everyone noticed that she didn't have anything in her hand. Moreover, she only brought two girls with her when she entered the palace, and she didn't see anything in her hand.
Wu Linlin, who realized this, looked at her and said with some pride:
"What kind of gift has Princess Yu prepared for the mother-in-law? It's so mysterious, please bring it out and let's take a look!"
Seeing Wu Linlin ask this question, everyone looked at her and seemed to want to join in the booing. Concubine Chang seemed to see that she didn't bring anything, so she pretended to be grand and said to her:
"It doesn't matter if Princess Yu doesn't have time to prepare, just come."
As soon as she said this, Wu Linlin curled her lips and said contemptuously:
"Even if Prince Yu lives in poverty, he still has to prepare some small gifts. This is the minimum respect for the mother and concubine. I think Princess Yu must have prepared some mysterious gifts for us to not know, right? Princess Yu ?”
Her words were so harsh and unpleasant to listen to. Luo Lan chuckled softly and retorted at her,
"The Crown Princess is indeed smart. Today is my queen's birthday. How can I do it without bringing a gift? It's just that my gift is a bit special. I'm afraid none of you here have seen it before."
After saying this, she took out a delicate square box from her pocket. The golden packaging looked very high-end.
Looking at the box in her hand, Concubine Chang asked in surprise:
"What is Princess Yu holding in her hand?"
Luo Lan bowed and saluted, "To tell you the truth, this is deep-sea fish oil."
Her words shocked everyone present. No one understood what she was talking about. The emperor even asked with a curious expression:
"What is this fish oil used for? For food?"
Luo Lan pursed his lips and chuckled, and opened the box in his hand. Two transparent bottles appeared inside, and the bottles contained golden pills, which looked very good-looking.
She took out one of the boxes, raised it in front of the emperor, and explained softly:
"Back to the emperor, this deep-sea fish oil is a beauty product developed by Luo Lan himself. When a woman applies it on her face, it can beautify her skin, delay aging, and make her skin smooth and elastic."
