When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

The Queen Mother smiled and looked at her lovingly, "The thought is the most important thing. It is precious that you have this thought."

Seeing the compliment, Nian Shilan presented her own Li Rang Song Zhi and introduced them one by one.

They are all rare but not very expensive gadgets.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager chanted Buddhist scriptures, so she followed her wishes and gave gifts of this kind.

Obviously, the Queen Mother was very satisfied.

She took one of the small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads and played with it in her hand. "This is a very good thing. It must have taken Concubine Hua a lot of effort to find these."

"Actually, it was my brother who noticed it. I mentioned to him before that the Queen Mother is a vegetarian and worships Buddha. I guess my brother was also careful in selecting these things, so he left them for her. It is said that my brother has a special and blessed night-light pearl bracelet waiting to be presented to the Queen Mother."

As soon as Nian Shilan finished speaking, Zhu Xi came up to report.

"Replying to the Queen Mother, the gifts sent by the princes and ministers have been brought."

The Queen Mother was about to speak, but at this moment Nian Shilan was about to say the same thing.

She simply said without holding back, "Look. This means that Cao Cao has arrived. If the Queen Mother does not blame me, can you please let someone take out the night-shining pearl that my brother gave me and let me have a look? I am really curious."

After saying this, Yinzhen couldn't help but be curious, "Okay, then have someone bring it up and have a look. I want to see it, too."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother asked Zhuxi to put all the things in the hall first.

Then he picked out Nian Gengyao's gift box from among the many gifts.

When I turned it over, I saw that it was the string of night pearls, exquisite and translucent, very beautiful.

The Queen Mother looked at him with great admiration and could not help but exclaim in amazement.

Nian Shilan followed up with a few flattering words and then said, "Thank goodness I came early today, otherwise how could I see such wonderful things? Look at those treasures piled up like a small mountain. I am really curious and envious. I wonder if the Queen Mother can satisfy my little wish and let me have the blessing of feasting my eyes on them?"

She was humble, and the gift just now touched the heart of the Queen Mother.

The atmosphere was comfortable and happy now, so the request she made was not excessive.

The Queen Mother said naturally, "Since you said so, it is not a difficult task. Let Zhuxi pick out a few new ones and let us see them."

Zhu Xi looked at the gift list and opened the gifts of several ministers by name.

But no one mentioned Longkodo’s gift yet.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan probably knew that Zhuxi was aware of the emperor's concern about Longkodo, and that the empress dowager also wanted to protect Longkodo, so she deliberately did not mention it.

Fortunately, when she came just now, she paid special attention and asked Zhou Ninghai.

What color gift box does Longkodo’s gift come in?

The gift box looked strange, Zhou Ninghai remembered it and told her about it.

So she simply stepped forward and picked up an exquisite black gold box. "Look, I don't know which master sent this, but it is wrapped so exquisitely. I saw it just now. I wonder what treasure is inside."

As soon as she picked it up, Zhuxi's expression changed instantly.

But it was difficult to stop him, so he could only watch Nian Shilan take it.

Yinzhen continued, "Yes, I saw it just now, and it is indeed wrapped differently."

The Queen Mother didn't know that this was a gift from Longkodo, so she smiled and said, "Then open it and take a look."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan dared to open it.

Gently opening the exquisite box lid, what comes into view is the black bowl and the golden hairpin.

Nian Shilan exclaimed in admiration, "This black gold longevity bowl is really unique. The material seems to be different from those in the palace. It actually feels warm in my hand."

Yinzhen was curious and reached out to take the black bowl from her hand.

He squinted his eyes and looked at it. "It is indeed different. The gold edging is finely crafted. It is truly a rare item."

Nian Shilan smiled lightly, and did not admire the golden bowl too much, but quickly took the second one -

Agate gold hairpin.

"This hairpin is truly unique. The agate is dazzling and colorful. It is very unique when inlaid on the gold hairpin." Nian Shilan praised.

The Queen Mother couldn't stop smiling, but she was also worried in her heart.

When did Nian Shilan become so sweet and talkative.

She felt strange, but not suspicious.

Yinzhen then took the hairpin and examined it in his hand.

"Agate is rare, and the inlaying craftsmanship is exquisite. It looks like it was newly made. The person who gave the gift was thoughtful. Does the Empress Dowager like it?"

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he looked up at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother naturally liked it, and the smile in her eyes could hardly be hidden.

"I like it very much."

Nian Shilan picked up the tea, took a sip, and then slowly put it down, saying, "This hairpin reminds me of an interesting thing."

Yinzhen tilted his head and looked at her with interest, "Oh? What's the matter?"

"When I was at home, my brother once hurriedly ordered the craftsmen in the mansion to make a silver-white emerald hairpin. I thought it was a gift for my coming-of-age ceremony, so I thought about the hairpin every day. But on the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, I found out that the gift was not the silver-white emerald hairpin."

After saying this, she leaned forward slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, guess who the hairpin was given to?"

Yinzhen smiled broadly, "Let me guess, Nian Gengyao must have taken a fancy to a girl and wanted to give it to her as a gift."

Nian Shilan chuckled, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from the emperor. That's right. I made a scene that day, and brother explained it to me."

As she spoke, she deliberately changed her voice to represent Nian Gengyao's voice.

"My brother has fallen in love with the second daughter of Nalan Xingde's family. This is a token of love that I want to give to her. If you snatch it away, how can my brother please her?"

Nian Shilan told interesting stories in a very vivid way.

"Speaking of which, the loving and harmonious relationship between your brother and sister-in-law is indeed a beautiful story." Yinzhen sighed.

Nian Shilan responded immediately, "Yes, I heard that my sister-in-law and Queen Chunyuan had a close relationship, and they had many exchanges in singing and dancing. Both of you are talented people."

When she mentioned Chun Yuan, Yinzhen's eyes flickered with emotion without leaving a trace.

"Although your brother is a military commander, he is a man of meticulous mind." The Queen Mother spoke quickly, changing the subject.

I was afraid that if I said too much, the emperor would be depressed again today because of the death of Empress Chunyuan.

Nian Shilan arched her eyebrows, "But speaking of it, the person who gave this hairpin was more thoughtful. I wonder which family gave it to him."

After she finished speaking, she looked directly at Zhuxi.

Zhuxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, this is a gift from Lord Longkodo."

Longkodo.

These three words are like a heavy stone.

It instantly weighed on my heart!

The Queen Mother remained calm and looked up at Yinzhen.

It was nothing at first, it just reminded Yinzhen of some things in the past.

Naturally, Nian Shilan would not let the matter end like this, so she pretended to be unaware of the situation and exaggerated the situation.

"Lord Longkodo is really thoughtful. Others would only give me some vulgar things, such as this night-shining pearl. Longkodo was creative and gave me a hairpin. Women love jewelry the most. Wearing it every day reminds me of Lord Longkodo's kindness."
