Chapter 753 The Queen Mother's Reward
He warmed his wine and put down his chopsticks: "...Did I...eat too much?"
"No, no, eat if you want. I was just asking casually."
Wen Jiu scratched his forehead and said, "I have a big appetite on weekdays. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."
"Hahaha, this girl is always like this." The Queen Mother laughed. "Shuhui, her appetite is usually even bigger than this. When I was on my southern tour, my appetite was poor, but even when I sat down to eat with this girl, I could always eat an extra half bowl of rice."
After that, he scooped another spoonful of tomato beef brisket to warm the wine: "It's okay to eat more, there are no outsiders here today. This beef brisket with rice is really delicious, I'm full."
Concubine Shuhui was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the warm wine in surprise.
This girl's appearance is so charming and charming that it can be described as incomparable. But her behavior always seems to have a bit of a masculine and carefree demeanor, which is really strange.
Even at meals, the same thing happened. That huge pot must have been enough for at least a dozen people. She also boiled a lot of vegetables and cooked noodles, and she ate most of the steamed buns in the basket.
Even this shredded chicken porridge, she has already drunk four or five bowls, right?
Empress Dowager Shuhui felt that this amount of food was probably enough to cover her food intake for half a month.
Wen Jiu was watched by the Empress Dowager Shuhui, and he almost stopped drinking.
But even so, the concubine was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Jiu'er, why did you eat so little today? Are you full already?" The Crown Princess looked at him in surprise.
Wenjiu was stunned: "Ahem, I'm full, I'm full."
The Queen Mother just smiled and said, "Eat, eat. I know how much you eat. Come, eat these buns too. This is an order."
Warming wine: “…Yes.”
In fact, she sometimes also wants to save face, but the people around her...
Oh, just eat it.
"This child looks so festive." Empress Dowager Shuhui couldn't help but say something as she watched the man eating buns and drinking warm wine.
Come to think of it, I don’t know if it was because of the meal or the good atmosphere of today’s meal, she actually used more than usual.
Even looking at the eldest sister, she ate those four big buns, which was much more than her previous meals.
"It's festive. Seeing these two children, it really brings back the festive atmosphere." The Queen Mother also ate comfortably. She leaned back in her chair and said with a smile, "You, girl, you cooked a good meal. There is a reward."
After saying this, she looked at Nanny Fang beside her and said, "Go, bring me the Biyun Lanyue hairpin and give it to you, child, to play with."
When these words came out, Nanny Fang beside him was stunned for a moment, and replied in a trance: "Yes."
Then, she trotted off to get the hairpin.
On this side, when Imperial Noble Consort Shuhui heard about the Biyun Lanyue hairpin, she couldn't help but look at the Empress Dowager beside her in surprise, but seeing the Empress Dowager's kind smile, the Imperial Noble Consort swallowed the words on her lips.
"The Empress Dowager is partial to me. My granddaughter-in-law also helped. Although she made a lot of trouble for Jiu'er, you can't let her work in vain." The Crown Princess said with a smile at the right time.
"Look, look, she knows she's doing more harm than good, and she's still asking for a reward!" The Queen Mother laughed at her.
The Crown Princess continued, "Grandmother always loves her grandson's wife. Could this plate of dumplings be a reward for her? She can take it back so she can show off to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince didn't even get one. Was this a reward from you, the Queen Mother, or was it made by Jiu'er herself?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said to her, "You glutton." Then she asked someone to fetch a jade bracelet that reflected the moon and gave it to the Crown Princess.
Then, he took their hands and patted them: "These two, can be said to be a set of headgear. Now, I will give them to you two. Shuhui, take a look, do they look suitable for you two?"
Empress Dowager Shuhui glanced at the familiar Jade Moon Bracelet that she had worn for many years, then looked at Wenjiu and the Crown Princess, and finally smiled and said, "It suits me."
The Crown Princess glanced at the bracelet on her hand, then at the hairpin on Wenjiu's head, and couldn't help laughing: "Madam, this thing looks familiar to me. Is it something you once owned?"
The Queen Mother laughed, "You have a very sharp eye. I've worn it a few times, and you've already seen through it. Speaking of which, Shuhui and I have walked hand in hand with this bracelet for our entire lives. You two have the best relationship among the younger generation. I'm giving it to you as a gift."
You must know that these two pieces put together are a priceless headpiece. If they were just one, they would just be a hairpin and a bracelet."
Wen Jiu and the Crown Princess exchanged a glance, then immediately stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Queen Mother (Royal Mama)."
Then, the Queen Mother chased them away: "Well, it's getting late. I'm afraid the Fourth Prince won't stay in the palace today. Jiu'er, hurry up and pack your things and go back home."
"Queen Mother, Jiu'er will miss you."
Wen Jiu couldn't help but pull the empress dowager's hand.
When I am with the Queen Mother, I always think of my grandfather in my previous life.
He then rummaged in his sleeves and put the thing on the table.
"Empress Dowager, Jiu'er just wrote some food to the kitchen. If you want to eat food for the next few days, you can ask the kitchen to make it for you. Jiu'er can also make it and bring it to you when the prince enters the palace."
Wen Jiu pointed again and said, "Also, this is some medicinal herbs to nourish your body. Don't be reluctant to use it. Use it whenever you want. There is too much wine. When you use it up, I will give you more wine.
Also, if the Queen Mother is unhappy, please summon Jiu'er to the palace. Then Jiu'er and the Crown Princess will come over to dine with you."
It is said that the Empress Dowager grew six hearts of love in just one meal.
In Xiaojin's words, the Queen Mother's love is almighty, even more effective than Honghui, Erbao, and Sanbao. Later, if the space is upgraded, it can be exchanged for spirit stones!
A low-grade spirit stone was worth one million taels of silver. In other words, the Queen Mother had given him only six hundred taels of silver.
Now, even if there is no reward, Wenjiu is still grateful.
"My child, you speak as if you will never see me again. When the weather gets a little warmer in a couple of days, I will ask you to come to the palace. By then, I'm afraid you will be too tired to come."
"No way." Wen Jiu laughed.
"Hurry up and go. If you're any later, the palace gates will be locked. I've also prepared some New Year's gifts for you. I've put them together with the rewards. Don't forget to give them to the children when you get back."
"Hey, Jiu'er understands." Wen Jiu said, and then bowed and said, "Then Jiu'er will take his leave now?"
The Crown Princess also stood up immediately: "My Lady, can your granddaughter-in-law bring you some wine?"
"Well, go ahead."
Seeing the two of them walking out hand in hand, Shuhui couldn't help but be stunned: "Although they are sisters-in-law, they have a good relationship. But how could you be so willing to give it away? You gave the Jade Moon Hairpin to that girl like this?
