Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

 Chapter 182 Birthday Banquet (8)

Lu Li stood up, glanced at Lu Yuan proudly, then walked forward proudly, holding the box in his hand.

“Lu Li has met your Majesty, and I wish you happiness every year and happiness every year!”

“I wonder what Third Young Master Lu is holding in his hand?” Second Prince Murong Jing looked at the box in his hand curiously.

Everyone was also curious. After all, Lu Li was just a concubine. Gifts should be given by Lu Yi or Lu Yuan in person. Why was it Lu Li's turn?

“The second prince is dissatisfied, this is the heirloom of the Lu family, Ruyi. My grandmother specially ordered Lu Li to present this to His Majesty in person!”

Everyone could not help but gasp when they heard this, even the emperor and queen could not help but be surprised.

 “Is it true that the jade is Ruyi?” the Queen Mother was curious.

Lu Li nodded proudly, "Back to the Queen Mother, it's absolutely true!"

The Queen Mother rolled her old eyes and said to her father-in-law: "Go and show it to the Ai family!"

 The jade Ruyi is originally a Buddhist object. It was obtained by the Lu family by chance and has been kept since then.

 The Queen Mother likes to worship Buddha and has an inexplicable fondness for things related to Buddha.

The father-in-law took the jade Ruyi from Lu Li's hand, then lowered his head and bent down, holding it in both hands.

 The Queen Mother took it and opened the box. A white light flashed past, and the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with surprise.

 She gently took out the jade Ruyi. When everyone saw the jade Ruyi, they couldn't help but admire it.

The whole body is green, and the appearance emits a faint soft light under the light, giving people a soft feeling.

 Lu Yi was completely stunned when Lu Li said Yu Ruyi.

 He had clearly agreed with his mother that he could give the jade Ruyi as a gift, but it had to be presented by Lu Yuan himself. However, his mother gave the Ruyi jade to Lu Li, which was hard for him to accept.

She has already destroyed his wife for the Liu family, and now she wants to destroy his legitimate son for the Liu family?

"General Mighty and Mrs. Lu are really generous. They can even give away noble things such as family heirlooms. It is really an honor for the Great Zhou Dynasty to have such ministers who do not hide their secrets."

Although Prime Minister Cang said this, the sarcasm in his eyes was not concealed.

Lu Yi's face suddenly sank to the bottom of his face. He always ignored the affairs of the family, but he couldn't help others deceiving him. What's more, this person was his biological mother.

"This Ruyi jade is indeed something extraordinary. Not only is it bright and shiny on the outside, but there is also a warmth in the interior. It is indeed magical."

The Queen Mother couldn’t put it down and stroked her back and forth, nodding in admiration.

The emperor looked at the jade Ruyi and said thoughtfully: "If the Queen Mother likes it, I will dedicate it to you on my own initiative. General Lu will not care, right?"

Lu Yi smiled coquettishly, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty said that since my mother has dedicated everything she must to Your Majesty, Your Majesty should make the decision."

Lu Li was startled. His lips moved but he didn't say a word.

The emperor seemed to see what he was thinking, and said to the gentleman on the side: "Go and get my dragon's chant."

When everyone heard this, there was another uproar. Dragon Yin, that is one of His Majesty’s favorite swords.

Lu Li was overjoyed. Listening to the discussions and exclamations from everyone, his vanity instantly increased several times.

The corners of Lu Ying's lips curled up slightly, and she glanced in the direction of Lu Yuan, but she saw that his face was still calm.

She snorted coldly in her heart and thought: Pretend, Lu Yuan, just pretend, I don’t believe you are not jealous. You usually get the spotlight, but now, I don’t see how you can compare to my brother.

　　　Sorry for coming back late!
