Nangong Jiu kept the secret.
[Mother, my stomach is empty and I have no strength.]
Nangong Yunxue smiled and tapped Nangong Jiu's forehead lightly: "Naughty!"
After Nangong Jiu had eaten and drunk his fill, he took out a basket of peaches and a pot of fine wine.
Suddenly, the house was filled with the fragrance of peaches.
Nangong Yunxue opened her eyes wide as she looked at the basket of bright and juicy peaches in front of her.
"Where do such big peaches come from in the middle of winter?"
[These are the peaches and nectar given by the Queen Mother!]
"What? Peaches?"
Fairy fruit peach!
Nangong Yunxue couldn't believe it.
[Yes! ]
"Oh my god, how did you get this?"
[Of course it was obtained in a fair and honest way!] Nangong Jiu was slightly proud.
These were given to the great grandfather and great grandmother, and seven were left for the New Year's Eve celebration, to be shared among the people.
"Seven more?"
[Hmm!] Nangong Jiu took out another basket, picked up one and gave half to Nangong Xue.
【Mom, eat this quickly! It will keep you healthy and pain-free, and prolong your life! 】
Nangong Yunxue excitedly waved her hands: "Mother, please eat with everyone. Give more to your great-grandparents. They are old, so they should feel better after eating."
【You can eat this half first, and save the other half for everyone to share.】
[When the time comes, each of my great-grandfather and his family will get one, my maternal grandfather and uncle will each get one, and the remaining one will be given to my four little brothers and sisters.]
[Don't worry, mother. Great-grandfather and his family have eaten the peaches and drunk the nectar, so they will be in good health.]
"Mother thanks you on behalf of everyone!"
Nangong Yunxue picked up the peach and took a bite with a happy look on her face. She immediately felt the peach fragrance in her mouth and the sweetness went to her heart.
[Is it delicious? I've eaten a lot of it before.] Nangong Jiu swallowed quietly.
“Mmm, delicious!”
【Then eat quickly, mother, and you will surely live a long life! 】
Nangong Yunxue put Nangong Jiu down, found a knife, cut two pieces and put them in Nangong Jiu's hands.
"Be good, eat too, but be careful not to choke!"
Nangong Jiu held the peaches and looked at Nangong Yunxue.
My mother always thinks of me, and I want to take this opportunity to present her with a birthday gift to pave the way for her.
Nangong Jiu made up his mind, grabbed the peach and stuffed it into his mouth, smacking his gums hard.
Nangong Yunxue picked up Nangong Jiu, and the mother and daughter looked at each other with smiles, happily eating the peaches.
New Year’s Eve, afternoon.
Nangong Yunxue and her daughter dressed up and rushed to the front yard with Xiao Wang. Nangong Honglie and his father and son were waiting in the flower hall.
Nangong Yunsheng looked at Nangong Jiu curiously: "Xiao Jiu'er, what birthday gift did you prepare for your royal grandmother? Take it out and let us see it."
Nangong Jiu blinked his big eyes and hid his hands.
Keep it confidential!
Don't show it...
"Oh, it's still a secret. Are you planning to give everyone a surprise?"
"Hehe..." Nangong Jiu grinned, with two dimples appearing on his face.
"Haha... Fine, if you don't want to watch it, then don't. We'll watch it during the palace banquet."
Several people were amused by Nangong Jiu's cleverness.
Nangong Honglie said, "Let's go. They are already waiting at the gate of the mansion. Let's go into the palace early and talk to the emperor first."
After they left the house, everyone was waiting in the carriage.
Several little guys excitedly stuck their heads out: "Hurry up, we're waiting for you!"
"Here I come."
Two carriages slowly drove towards the palace.
Imperial study.
It was the New Year, and Emperor Dongling had a rare day off, waiting happily in the imperial study.
"Laifu, send someone to the palace gate to say hello. Nangong Honglie and his family can come directly to the imperial study in a carriage. It's cold, don't let Jiuer get frozen."
Eunuch Wei agreed with a smile, walked to the door and gave a few instructions, and a young eunuch ran away.
Half an hour later.
The two carriages separated after entering the palace gate, one going to Kunning Palace and the other going to the Imperial Study.
Eunuch Wei was waiting at the bottom of the steps, watching the carriage stop.
"General, you're here! Come in, please!"
Nangong Honglie and his son, and Nangong Yunxue and her daughter, stepped into the imperial study at the warm invitation of Eunuch Wei.
"Your Highness, I greet you!"
"Xue'er greets the Emperor!"
Xiao Wang sat up and arched his front paws.
"Everyone, get up!" Emperor Dongling raised his hand happily.
"Everyone sit down!"
After everyone was seated, Emperor Dongling looked at Nangong Jiu in Nangong Yunxue's arms, and then looked at Xiao Wang squatting beside Nangong Yunxue.
"I haven't seen Jiu'er for a month."
Nangong Yunxue nodded: "It's been snowing a lot these days and it's a bit cold, so no one goes out much. When the weather warms up, let Jiuer come to the palace to visit you more often.
This time, Jiuer also prepared a special birthday gift for the Empress, saying that it was only for the Empress Dowager, you, the Empress, Brother Hao and the Fifth Prince.
She said that after taking it, she could live longer and be free from illness and pain.”
Emperor Dongling believed it without a doubt.
"Thank you so much, Jiuer!"
Nangong Yunxue looked at Nangong Jiu who was still sleeping in her arms.
"Your Majesty, when I give you the gift later, I will say that the birthday gift is given to me by the gods."
"Okay, okay! This makes more sense!"
"Then I'll go to Kunning Palace to see the Empress."
"Did the secret guards bring it with them?"
"I have it with me, Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Emperor Dong Ling nodded: "Go!"
Watching the people walk out of the imperial study, Emperor Dongling looked at Nangong Honglie and his son.
"What is it?"
Nangong Honglie smiled: "I don't know! When we were in the mansion, we asked her to take a look. Jiuer looked mysterious and hid it very tightly."
"Haha... maybe the birthday gift is not simple, we are so lucky!"
