Sitting high on the throne, the empress dowager was dressed in a gorgeous dress, as dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail.
Her clothes were embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and gold and silver threads were interwoven into a fine texture, which made her look particularly dazzling.
However, this gorgeous coat could hardly conceal her sharp and sarcastic character.
Her face was cold and arrogant, with a high nose bridge and thin and bony lips.
Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes gave a glimpse of her extraordinary beauty in her youth.
Unfortunately, due to aging and wrinkled skin, there was a natural harshness between her brows.
"No, no, no," Zuo Yexuan said in her heart. As expected, this old witch likes to go against her!
Zuo Yexuan forced a smile and looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the throne - Ouyang Lan.
"Daughters-in-law are referring to those gossipy women who like to gossip about other people's private affairs. Your Majesty, please don't take them personally." Zuo Yexuan replied.
At this time, Aunt Rong who had come earlier also came in to report. She bowed to everyone and went towards the Queen Mother who was sitting on the high throne.
Then he whispered something into the Queen Mother's ear.
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly brightened visibly.
She looked at Zuo Yexuan suspiciously.
I thought: She has disliked this daughter-in-law since the beginning and has been deliberately making things difficult for her for many years.
I didn't expect that she would still praise my good points in front of the servants?
"Replying to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!"
"When I rushed to Yiku Palace, I saw the Queen praying devoutly for you in the New Year. That's why I arrived a little late." Rong Mama said with a happy face.
"Yes, judging from your recent performance, you seem to be a queen of a country." Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Zuo Yexuan with a better expression.
"Take a seat." The Queen Mother waved her hand and ordered.
Zuo Yexuan didn't know what Rong Mama said, but seeing that the old witch didn't go crazy, she finally let go of her slightly worried heart.
Zuo Yexuan sat down, and Xiaotao hurried forward to hand over the gift list for the New Year.
Chunhua, who was beside Jiang Qingqing, also stepped forward and handed over their gift lists.
The Queen Mother just glanced at it lightly and waved her hand to let Rong Mama take it away.
It's just some exquisite porcelain, ginseng, deer antlers and other tonic medicinal materials.
It's a pity that she is suffering from illness now and I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left.
As a result, her temper became more and more weird.
If she could obtain a longevity pill that was popular in the world of immortal cultivation, perhaps she could live for a few more decades.
It's a pity that in today's world of immortal cultivation, the Tianyue League, which is responsible for management, is becoming increasingly large.
Even on the black market, cultivation pills are rarely seen.
The empress dowager looked worried, but when she glanced at Jiang Qingqing's gift list, her eyes became inexplicably meaningful.
The gift list above is quite standard.
But the five characters at the end, "Longevity Pill", hurt the empress dowager's eyes.
She has been searching for elixirs for many years, and it is no longer a secret in Xuanlong Country.
Now that Jiang Qingqing and others offered her the "longevity pill", she felt like they were slapping her in the face.
How could a treasure that she couldn't find even with the efforts of an entire nation end up in the hands of a divorced woman? It was probably a fabricated "longevity elixir" to please her.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's expression became a little gloomy. She also remembered that Murong Yue's scandal was exposed because it involved Jiang Qingqing, and it became the topic of conversation in the capital.
She had secretly checked the so-called storybook, and although there was no obvious evidence, everything pointed to Jiang Qingqing and others.
To her, Murong Yue was just a dog.
But after all, she has taken good care of him for many years, so she can scold him, but if he is bullied by others, she, as his master, will naturally help him vent his anger!
"Haha! Jiang, a longevity pill? This treasure that I couldn't find even with the whole country's efforts, unexpectedly appeared in your hands."
"It seems that the power of your General Xiaoyao's Mansion is so immense that even I and the Emperor can only look up to it."
The corners of the Queen Mother's thin lips curled slightly, but her sharp eyes fell on Jiang Qingqing.
Jiang Qingqing was surprised when she heard this.
What kind of longevity pill?
At this moment, Jiang Tiantian's inner voice rang out without warning.
【Ah~ It’s me, it’s me, I remember now! 】
[At first, I saw my mother working day and night to prepare the gift list, exhausted, so I took out the longevity pill from my space as an extra gift and wrote it on the gift list...]
[Those who receive gifts from my mother are probably either close friends or elders in the clan. Giving them a longevity pill that can cure all diseases and prolong life is something my mother would be happy to know about in the future.]
[Wow, it’s just that there are too many gift lists, I don’t think I paid attention to distinguish them.]
【This Queen Mother is a bargain】
Jiang Tiantian wrinkled her face and sighed silently.
When Jiang Qingqing heard this, a warm feeling passed through her heart.
As expected, it is worthy of being my mother's cotton-padded jacket, and it always thinks of my mother.
Zuo Yexuan: Ahhh! Longevity elixir! A longevity elixir that can cure all diseases and prolong life!
From what the little fairy said, she has it too.
Ah~ She wanted to know, would it be of any use if she turned around and went back now?
If I had known earlier, no matter how hurried I was, I should have carefully read the gift list Qingqing gave her!
It’s all this old witch’s fault, she’s pushing me to death!
Zuo Yexuan's heart was burning with anxiety, and she looked at the Queen Mother with anger in her beautiful eyes.
He was publicly criticized by the Queen Mother, who seemed to imply that the General's Mansion was too successful and was a threat to the Emperor.
Jiang Qingqing stood up, saluted the Queen Mother again, and then straightened her back and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"In reply to the Queen Mother's words, the Jiang family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations, worrying about the people's worries and being loyal to the emperor."
"We learned that the Queen Mother had been suffering from a chronic illness for many years and was in urgent need of a longevity pill. The general's mansion searched for it for years but to no avail."
