Kuaichuan is poisonous: why don't you go to heaven as a female partner

Chapter 306

"Your Majesty, my concubine wishes you a long life without bounds..."

At the Wanshou Festival palace banquet, Zhao Qingcheng sat under Yan Mingxi and raised his wine glass to wish Yan Mingxi his birthday.

Because the queen was ill and could not attend the palace banquet, the emperor sat alone at the head of the palace.

It would be great if the queen kept getting sick.

Looking around at the other concubines in the palace, all of them were under her, Zhao Qingcheng felt emotional.

"Okay, Aifei has worked hard."

Yan Mingxi drank Zhao Qingcheng's toast with great interest, and was about to say a few words to praise the imperial concubine, when the eunuch beside him came to pass the message:

"Your Majesty, Miss Xia Cao from Fengzao Palace is here to ask for an audience."

Zhao Qingcheng glared at the eunuch:
"Today is His Majesty's Longevity Day, what can't be discussed in another day?"

When she said this, Yan Mingxi was also a little displeased, presumably something happened to the queen again, that's why Xia Cao was in a hurry to see him.

What a disappointment on a great day.

However, in front of the concubines, he couldn't be too ruthless, so he waved his hands:

"Forget it, let her in."

Holding a small box, Xia Cao bowed in under the eyes of everyone, and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Slave Fengzao Palace Summer Grass, see Your Majesty."

"But what's the matter with the Queen?"

Yan Mingxi was concerned on the surface, but his tone concealed impatience. Xia Cao didn't panic, but held up the box:

"Back to the emperor, Xia Cao's coming here is indeed related to the empress, because a few days ago, Xia Cao packed up the objects in the palace and found this thing. It must have been made by the emperor herself before the empress fell ill. The slaves dare not I am good at specialization, so I specially present it for my mother today."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Yan Mingxi frowned, signaling the eunuch to go forward and take the box from Xia Cao.

Although he has no relationship with Ruo Lanlan, he also knows that she is from a family of military generals, and she is neither good at writing nor good at female red embroidery. What is this doing?
Zhao Qingcheng curled his lips in disdain, the queen is so stupid, she still hasn't forgotten to make a gift, how about coaxing ghosts?
The eunuch brought the box to the emperor and opened it. Yan Mingxi took a closer look, but his face showed emotion:

It was actually a wood carving made of sandalwood.

Although the carving is rough, it can be seen that the empress made it herself. The content of the wood carving is actually a micro-carving map of the frontier. It was probably carved out by the empress according to the description of her father Ruo Zhengyuan. It's a pity...

"The work doesn't seem to be finished yet?"

Yan Mingxi looked at Xia Cao, Zhao Qingcheng was secretly happy in his heart, he dared to make a fool of himself without finishing it, was he afraid that the emperor would not punish the queen?

"Your Majesty's lesson, Your Majesty started making this year's gift shortly after last year's Longevity Festival, but it was delayed because... she went to the Promise Palace. However, it was indeed made by Your Majesty herself..."

Xia Cao said cautiously, but her heart was agitated, and she didn't know if the Queen's move would work.

"I know."

Yan Mingxi pondered for a long time before closing the lid with emotion.

The queen had been secretly preparing gifts for him, but she didn't finish it when she went to the cold palace. When she came out of the cold palace, she had already forgotten about him.

After all, he was still too demanding of the queen...

With the dignity of a queen, it is really rare to be able to do these things with my own hands.

"I have accepted this gift. The Empress is very kind. Although I cannot come to celebrate my birthday due to illness today, the gift is very precious. I will send all the golden silk bird's nests that Annan paid tribute to Fengzao Palace just now, so that the Empress can strengthen her body."

Zhao Qingcheng was shocked, what did the emperor think?

The other concubines also looked at each other in blank dismay. They were sitting below and couldn't see what the queen had made as a gift. They only heard the emperor said that they hadn't finished, so they suddenly rewarded something?
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia Cao hurriedly thanked the queen, and then left with peace of mind.

As soon as she left, misty and soft music sounded in the hall, wisps of smoke drifted away, and a woman came out slowly...
