The city was hit by a snowstorm, and the prince was in charge of disaster relief.There was no shortage of rice, noodles, clothes, and various supplies, and the common people praised the prince for his benevolence.

Unavoidably, because of the occurrence of "everyone praises the prince but makes the emperor feel dissatisfied", the prince found people all over the city to publicize the emperor's reputation.

So the emperor was also very satisfied.The prince is capable, and all the people will return. What is even more commendable is that when the prince wins the hearts of the people, the people have not forgotten him as the emperor.

The little sense of crisis about the rise of the prince and the instability of the throne undoubtedly dissipated.

After that, the prince was rewarded by the emperor one after another.Of course, there is no reward in terms of money, even if there is, the prince will donate all of it to the disaster area.

In comparison, the third prince is miserable.It's a fine and a face-to-face. Seeing the emperor rewarding the prince, I hate the prince even more.But he stayed in the palace all day long and couldn't go out.

Fortunately, because of the queen mother's birthday, the third prince had the opportunity to go out for some fresh air.

The birthday gift for the Queen Mother was prepared early in the morning.He spent 3000 taels to buy a piece of top-quality suet jade.I also found the most famous master sculptor in the capital to carve a statue of Guanyin.Just the master's craftsmanship alone cost 200 taels, but the result is very good.

"Okay, this master's craftsmanship is really good. The statue of Guanyin is so lifelike. The Queen Mother will definitely like it very much."

The third prince stroked the Guanyin statue again and again, very satisfied.

The queen mother has been eating fast and praying to Buddha on Mount Wutai, and she just returned to the palace not long ago.The Avalokitesvara statue in the palace was made of Ding Kiln white porcelain, and it always seemed too simple to suit the Queen Mother's liking.

On the Queen Mother's birthday, all civil and military officials, princes, princes and grandchildren will arrive.Of course Fang Miaomiao and Feng Nonglian would also go.

Fang Miaomiao is not willing to attend this kind of banquet.There are cold dishes and cold meals, and it is still November, even if there are some warm things, the heat will be scattered when the cold wind blows.

Fang Miaomiao rubbed her little hands and whispered to Feng Nonglian who was putting on a thick vest for him.

"I didn't like to participate in this kind of banquet when I was a child. At that time, we will definitely have to sit outside the hall to blow the cold wind. At least there is a windproof platform for the emperor, and it has nothing to do with us. Wait we Find a place sheltered from the wind, this cold weather is unbearable."

The upper body is a thick vest, and a gold-sprinkled lapel jacket is worn on the outside, and a gorilla felt cloak is on the outermost layer.

Because it was so thickly wrapped, it looked like an elliptical ball walking upright.

"Too much."

"Not much, not much. Don't be cold, that's right. You also said that the wind will be blown later." Then, he wrapped Fang Miaomiao with a scarf and put on a pair of fur gloves.

"Okay, okay." Fang Miaomiao was persuaded, but he still didn't forget one thing, "Brother, you have to bring something to eat! Everything in the palace is cold, and it's not delicious. Once the meat is cold It tastes fishy, ​​the wine is cold, and my hands tremble after eating it."

Clothes are dressed, food is ready, and he is ready to go out.It just feels like I forgot something.

"Brother, did I forget something?" Fang Miaomiao got into the carriage, still doubting.

"You forgot the present for the Queen Mother." Feng Nonglian patted him on the forehead speechlessly.

"Oh, that's right!" Fang Miaomiao jumped off the carriage and was about to get a gift, Feng Nonglian hurriedly hugged him.

"Don't jump up and down! I'm afraid to see it! I brought it all." Feng Nonglian pulled out a small box from under the seat of the carriage.

The presents were all prepared by Feng Nonglian, Fang Miaomiao was not happy to prepare them.In the past, it was the housekeeper who took care of it.It's terrible now, he is a married man with a wife to manage the house and housekeeper! (Super tough!)

When you open it, it is a string of delicate but pure Buddhist beads.

"Could it be too plain and too cheap?" Fang Miaomiao grabbed the beads and played with them. The price of this string of beads is not expensive, "These are wooden beads, right?"

Not even very expensive wood.

"Enough is enough. This is the most revered bodhi wood in Buddhism, one hundred and one hundred pieces. The snow disaster in Yicheng is not far away. We just donated a lot to relieve the victims. It's time to make eye-catching, and we must keep a low profile. Besides, we If you're not the main person at the banquet, you don't need to be in the limelight, so why bother to fight for what you have. If we don't come out, there are naturally people who like to be in the limelight."

"That's right. That's just right. Let's not grab the limelight. Whoever wants to grab the limelight can grab it." Fang Miaomiao immediately felt that this Buddhist bead was very good.

The Marquis of Wu'an, who loves to compete for the limelight, prepared a generous gift, a double-sided embroidered Buddha statue completely embroidered with gold silk, and when it was taken out, it shone with golden light, just like the light of Buddha.

"Sure enough." Marquis Wu An was very satisfied with the embroidery of the Buddha statue, "Yinger, I am very satisfied that you have done a good job this time."

This embroidery seems to have been scoured by Feng Ying from the largest Treasure Pavilion in the capital after a lot of effort.I heard that there were people who originally wanted to compete with him for this embroidered portrait, but they didn't compete with him, and he was the one step ahead.

This embroidered portrait was rewarded by the Empress Dowager in his previous life, he still remembered it.That's why I went to Zhenbao Pavilion in advance to make a reservation.

The scale of the banquet was grand, and the seats of officials and ladies and ladies were not sitting together.Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is also eligible for Mrs. Hou to participate in this kind of banquet, so she shows off a lot in front of the second and third bedrooms.

The second room and the third room were so angry that they went back to the room directly, grabbed the villain with Mrs. Hou's name on it, and slapped it.Stab you to death!

She is also angry!

Although Mrs. Hou showed off in front of the second aunt and the third aunt, she still had to pretend to be generous to the mistress in front of Lord Hou, so she brought a few concubines along with her.

It's just obvious that her biological daughter's clothes should be more delicate, while the clothes of the concubine's daughter should be simpler.

After dressing up, everyone entered the palace.

Mrs. Hou led a few maids and sat beside Mrs. Madam and Miss.Not far away happened to be Wang Shangshu's wife and miss.

Madam Hou recognized them and greeted them intentionally.Unfortunately, Wang Qianjin glanced at her coldly, then turned her head away.

Mrs. Hou's face turned pale when she was thrown, she was a little unhappy, and muttered, it really is a family with mud legs just pulled out of the ground, and there is no tutor.

Wang Qianjin was born beautiful, wearing a red dress, she was very eye-catching among the ladies and ladies.Originally, she wanted to be a princess, but now she has no chance.

Therefore, it is unavoidable that some people always like to say a few words about yin and yang.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face was not good-looking, and she glared at some people with bad mouths, and hurriedly went to see her daughter.Fortunately, her daughter didn't seem to hear it, she just looked into the distance, not knowing where to look.

Mrs. Wang followed her eyes and was startled. Isn't the person standing in that direction the Crown Prince?Mrs. Wang hurriedly tugged on her daughter's sleeve.

"Eat cakes. The ones in this palace are different from ours."

Wang Qianjin glanced at her, but didn't answer.Mrs. Wang held up the pastry in embarrassment, and finally ate it by herself resentfully.

Everyone offered gifts in turn.The Empress Dowager took a few glances at the embroidery of the Buddha statue presented by the Marquis of Wu'an, and she was very satisfied, and said twice that she wanted it.

Then it was Fang Miaomiao's turn to offer a gift.

Seeing that it was a string of ordinary Buddhist beads, the queen mother was slightly dissatisfied, and asked the palace staff to put it away.Fang Miaomiao herself was very calm, without any embarrassment, and came down after delivering it.

"Is it cold?" Feng Nonglian changed places with him to block the wind, "It's less windy here."

"It's neither cold nor cold." Fang Miaomiao leaned on Feng Nonglian's shoulder and ate the biscuits she brought, "Pinch my legs, my legs are sore."

The two acted as if there was no one else around, one was eating a biscuit, the other was pinching his leg, watching everyone give presents one by one, regardless of their own business.

Compared with the exquisite and gorgeous gifts presented by the officials, their string of prayer beads is really ordinary.

Even if it is added that the eminent monks of Tanzhe Temple have consecrated it.Just such a string of beads is only a few taels of silver at most.

When it was the third prince's turn to offer a gift, he triumphantly asked someone to bring something the size of a cantaloupe.Covered with golden satin.

The Queen Mother laughed and said: "Third Prince, what is this? It's mysterious, open it quickly and let Aijia see it."

The third prince lifted the silk cloth, and a statue of Avalokitesvara of suet and white jade appeared in front of everyone.The jade material is white and flawless, the jade quality is as delicate as curd fat, and the carving skills are superb.

"Congratulations on the Queen Mother's birthday. My grandson wishes the Queen Mother good luck like the East China Sea and longevity."

"Okay, very good. You have a heart. There is a shortage of this one in Aijia Palace."

The third prince was praised and went down very happily, followed by the prince's gift.His things are bigger than those of the third prince, and it takes two people to lift them up.

The Empress Dowager was even more curious, so she also looked forward to it a little bit more.However, when the cloth was lifted, it was a gorgeous and beautiful lotus flower blooming in a white porcelain basin.

Maybe it was because of too much expectation, after seeing the real thing, the queen mother was a little disappointed.Compared with the white jade Guanyin statue presented by the previous third prince, although this lotus flower is strange, it is still not expensive enough.

It's just that it's a very novel thing after all, the Queen Mother still showed a little smile.

The others were quite generous and sighed.

"Ah, it's a lotus flower. This is so weird, how come there are still lotus flowers blooming in winter?"

The prince said, "This is the sacred lotus from Tanzhe Temple."

"Sacred Lotus?" As soon as the name of Tanzhe Temple came out, the Empress Dowager finally became interested, "Amitabha. God bless you."

It doesn't matter if it's the real Shenglian or not, anyway, if the name of Shenglian is stamped on it, the status will be much more detached.

"The holy lotus is in celebration of the queen mother's birthday, so it blooms in winter. This is a great auspicious omen, so the grandson presented this holy lotus."

Fang Miaomiao pursed her lips and said to herself, of course this is all nonsense.

The prince smirked.

What holy lotus is not a holy lotus? It's just an out-of-season lotus from Feng Nonglian.

In Feng Nonglian's farm, there was a pool of lotus blooming.He found a beautiful pot and transplanted one.Save money and save money.

There is no second poor prince like him in this world!His money is spent wisely.

For the snow disaster in Guangyi City, he paid a lot of money.Where is the extra money for gift giving!

Just this lotus, Feng Nonglian is a black-hearted ghost, and even extorted 20 taels of silver from him.

Feng Nonglian used the 20 taels of silver to buy a string of Buddhist beads of one tael of silver, and another 19 taels to buy a white jade hairpin for Fang Miaomiao.

Hey.The most stingy one is definitely not him, the prince.

At least his lotus pot is a treasure.That is an antique left over from the previous dynasty!Of course, there is no money in his hands.

It was copied from a corrupt official's house last year.People use it to raise fish.Even the fish and the pot were copied by him.

The fish was braised in soy sauce, and it was served as food and drink for the subordinates.

There is also a fish pot that cannot be eaten or drunk, and it is useless to keep it in the air. Today, I finally found a chance to use it.

Make the most of everything.He is such a good prince.The prince thought quite proudly.

The author has something to say: the update is a little bit late, and it's a little bit stuck.
