Chapter 399 During the Birthday Banquet
Han Linglong looked at Mu Qingya with a smile and asked affectionately, "I don't know what gift Mujun mainly gives to the imperial concubine?"
Mu Qingya restrained her eyes slightly and smiled gently: "Miss Han will naturally know later. There is no need to be in a hurry for a moment."
"Hehe, isn't it? Logically, it should be the princess who sent the gift first, but Linglong has a merciless invitation. I don't know if the princess can agree?
"Miss Han, please tell me." Although she didn't know Han Linglong's plan, Mu Qingya responded quietly.
Han Linglong lowered her head slightly, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, but it was gentle and polite. She was elegant and elegant between her hands and feet. She looked particularly innocent and pure, but undoubtedly showed her demeanor as the eldest daughter of the clan: "It's really not suitable for my gift to be stored for too long, so can I invite the princess? Let Linglong give a gift first?"
Mu Qingya smiled and nodded: "Of course there is nothing wrong, Miss Han, please."
Han Linglong nodded and motioned the two eunuchs beside her to carry her birthday gift: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine, this gift was prepared by my grandfather with great strength. Although it is not valuable, it is a distraction. I hope the emperor and the imperial concubine will not dislike it." With that, he walked to the birthday gift covered with red cloth and lifted the cover on it to reveal the box with the birthday gift.
This box is not an ordinary box, but carved with a whole piece of cold jade. This box alone is worth a whole. Hearing the sound of breathing around her, Han Linglong was proud. Her purpose was to compare Mu Qingya and give her an ugly one. It seemed that the purpose had been achieved, and then opened the box to reveal the birthday gift.
For a while, everyone continued to praise. This birthday gift is not very valuable, but it is particularly rare in this season.
The birthday gift is a carving, engraved with flowers competing for beauty of the Phoenix, but the carving material is ice. Everyone immediately understands why the box of the birthday gift is a piece of cold jade. At this time, only cold jade can the ice sculpture not melt.
Mu Qingya looked at the ice sculpture carefully and was very amazed. The ice sculpture is not easy. When carving, the temperature of human hands is extremely easy to melt the ice, especially the fine carving of flowers competing for phoenix Yufei. With a little negligence, the whole sculpture will be destroyed once it is to be carved into such a pattern. It can't be done without decades of carving.
However, looking at this gift, Mu Qingya felt very funny in her heart. The Han family did take a lot of effort, but they didn't know what the role this precious gift would ultimately play in. After all, the original purpose of making this gift was very intriguing.
Duanmu Lingyu behind naturally also knew the origin of this gift. When the queen was there, the Han family was domineering. In order to win the first prize at the queen's birthday banquet, it took a lot of effort. Later, I didn't know where to hear about the ice sculpture process, so I spent all my efforts to find the cleverness from everywhere. The craftsman began to prepare more than half a year in advance, waiting to become famous at the queen's banquet, but she didn't expect that the world would be unpredictable. Han Xilian died before the birthday banquet, which made this gift idle. Before that she heard the dark guard say that the Han family was going to give this gift, she laughed for a long time. She didn't know Han Xi Lian knew underground whether the Han family would be angry if they flattered her against her.
Mo Ao shouted, "Okay, Han Aiqing is really careful. This gift is really ingenious and ingenious, rewarding!"
Suddenly, everyone's hearts were different. The Han family has been unknown for a period of time. Why did the emperor suddenly reward them? Is the Han family going to turn over?
Xia Jingyan had a satisfied smile on her face, but her eyes were cold. Naturally, she had heard of this gift. After all, she had been against the queen for so many years. At that time, the Han family searched for craftsmen, and the noise was not very small. She asked someone to investigate and didn't expect that the Han family would give it to the queen's dead man. Is it true that she is easy to be bullied when the gift is given to her?
If there were other banquets, Xia Jingyan would certainly not be so angry and might be proud for a long time, but this birthday banquet was too special for her. Her birthday was in front of the queen, five days earlier than the queen, but because of this, she never had the opportunity to hold a birthday banquet before the queen died. Yes, it was because she and the queen's birthday were too close, and the palace was really busy, so the queen used this to avoid her birthday banquet, which made her not hate!
Now that the queen has passed away, she finally has a chance to celebrate her birthday, but she didn't expect that the Han family would take the queen to answer herself. How could she not be angry?
Mu Qingya, who caught Xia Jingyan's emotional changes, smiled in her heart. Should it be said that the Han family stole chickens and rice this time?
At this time, Han Linglong didn't realize anything wrong. She turned her head and looked at Mu Qingya with a trace of pride in her eyes: "Princess, it's exquisite. I don't know what the gift the county gave?"
Mu Qingya got up, and the smile on her face has not changed from beginning to end: "Naturally, Qingya's gift can't be compared with Miss Han, but it just occupies a friendship."
"Oh? I don't know what kind of friendship it is?"
Mu Qingya smiled and motioned Leqi to take someone to present the gift. Without any mystery, she directly lifted the red silk on it, revealing the appearance of the birthday gift: "This is a specialty of the hometown of the imperial concubine, which is naturally not precious. However, Qingya once heard that the imperial concubine missed her hometown, so she quickly brought these from Yuhan, hoping that the imperial concubine would accept it with a smile.
The smile on Xia Jingyan's face really cut a lot: "Thank you, Princess Mu. I like this gift very much.
"As long as the mother likes it."
Han Linglong frowned in her heart. It's shameful that Mu Qingya, a bitch, could attract the attention of the imperial concubine in such a way. However, when she saw that Mo Ao had nothing to say, she felt a little better.
However, although Mu Qingya's gift is not very precious, with that friendship, it is indeed slightly better than Han Linglong's gift.
Waiting for everyone to present their birthday gifts, the banquet became more and more lively. Just as everyone was in high spirits, they suddenly heard an exclamation.
Then came the maid's panicked voice: "Girl, Qianhe, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the word Qianhe, Mo Ao frowned suddenly. Now the maid is pregnant with the eldest prince's son in her stomach. Naturally, he didn't want the child to have anything to do, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
A maid of honor quickly ran over: "When I return to the emperor, Miss Qianhe suddenly had an unbearable abdominal pain."
Mo Ao's face darkened: "Come on and pass on to the doctor."
"Go back to the emperor, and it has been passed on."
Qianhe's exclamation became louder and louder. Mu Qingya got up and said, "Your Majesty, Qingya also knows medical skills. Don't you have to let Qingya show it to Qianhe girl first?"
"Okay, that's right." Mo Ao frowned and agreed.
Mu Qingya walked to Qianhe and looked at Qianhe, whose forehead was full of cold sweat. She nodded slightly to reassure her, reached out and touched her pulse, and immediately frowned: "Your Majesty, the reason why Miss Qianhe is like this is because of the influence of drugs."
"Drugs?" Mo Ao frowned tightly and turned his head to look at Xia Jingyan, with impatience and warning, "Imperial Noble Concubine, how could such a thing happen at your banquet?"
Xia Jingyan quickly bowed and saluted repeatedly and argued, "To the emperor, my concubine is not clear about this matter. At this banquet, my concubine ordered someone to prepare carefully, and this drug should not have appeared."
Mo Ao snorted coldly and ignored her words. He asked Mu Qingya, "Maybe you can tell what kind of drug it is?"
"Your Majesty, it should be caused by the mixture of musk and safflower. Which of them will cause damage to the body, not to mention the combination of the two. Qianhe girl had moved her fetus because of what happened before, and now she is very critical."
"Can the fetus in her womb be damaged?"
"When you return to the emperor, please ask Lord Xu to take action. If he does, he should be saved." Mu Qingya said anxiously, her face full of worry.
"Come on, Xu He, come on, Xuan Xuhe, invite him to come here."
Soon, Xu He was brought in quickly. Before he could salute, he was stopped by Mo Ao and asked him to treat Qianhe.
Half an hour later, Xu He came out with a tired face: "Your Majesty, the situation of Miss Qianhe has stabilized..."
Before he finished his words, the maid who served Qianhe suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Mo Ao: "To the emperor, I have something important to report."
Mo Ao looked at her coldly. Before he could speak, Xia Jingyan scolded, "Bold maidservant, what is your identity? How dare you talk nonsense here? If you come, why don't drag her down?"
Xia Jingyan is very angry. She doesn't hold many formal banquets, but every time she holds a banquet, something will always make a mess.
"I want to report to the emperor, I have to report something, because this matter is related to the royal blood."
Mo Ao suddenly waved his hand to stop the eunuch who wanted to drag the maid away: "What did you just say?"
The maid of honor rolled and crawled forward two parts: "Your Majesty, the child in Qianhe's belly is not the eldest prince at all. Some people have taken advantage of this matter to deceive you."
Mu Qingya raised the corners of her lips, and this mean person is naturally talking about her.
"Are you telling the truth? What evidence is there?" Mo Ao's face was as gloomy as the sky coming from the storm, which looked particularly horrible.
"Return to the emperor, the maidservant's name is Qiu Ling, and she is from the same hometown as Qianhe. She had also lived in a palace before. Qianhe had already bedained. Three months ago, she suddenly became very abnormal. The maidservant was very curious. After a detailed understanding, she knew that the person she had actually came to the palace and recognized Qianhe. ."
