Chapter 170 He dreams of making his wife jealous of him
"Mother, this is the newly drawn iron ore feng shui map, thanks to Zhaojun... I wish our dynasty peace and prosperity." The third prince took He Zhaojun's hand and stepped forward to present a gift together.
This gift was said to be for the Queen, but in reality it was for the Emperor. After all, the Queen did not directly manage the iron mine. "Well, you are so thoughtful. In the future, you must help His Majesty with his worries."
She looked at He Zhaojun and smiled, "That's great! Sanlang has found a like-minded bride who supports him. It's truly enviable. Zhaojun, I see you've lost some weight recently. Thank you for your hard work in preparing for the birthday banquet."
He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This was all spearheaded by Ziduan. I have prepared a special dance, which I will present to you as a birthday gift."
Empress Xuan nodded, full of gratitude. Some time ago, the Fifth Princess had gained some understanding of the situation, and through indirect clues, she figured out that it was He Zhaojun's idea.
Although the Fifth Princess was still domineering, she was more restrained in front of her. With Shao Shang's help in the affairs of the Crown Prince, the depression in her heart was slightly relieved, and her illness was also relieved a little. She seemed to be in good spirits.
When the Fifth Princess heard that He Zhaojun was also going to perform a dance, she was immediately displeased. Why was she trying to compete with her? Did she really enjoy stealing the spotlight? Unexpectedly, she looked up and met Concubine Yue's gaze. She immediately wilted, not daring to say anything more.
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess also presented a pair of Qilin jades: "Mother, Qilin jades have always been a sign of good fortune. Found on your birthday, it is surely a blessing from heaven, wishing you a long and prosperous life."
The Queen nodded and said, "I can feel your wishes. I will place this jade in my bedroom. Looking at it often will improve my mood."
Crown Princess Sun's face lit up with joy, knowing that her idea had indeed worked: "Yes, the Crown Prince spent a huge sum of money to find this in the Western Regions."
Of course He Zhaojun knew this, because the prince was bought from her. She didn't expect that the crown prince would actually tell this matter in public. She never expected that the queen was practicing frugality and didn't like extravagance at this time. When she heard her say this, her face changed.
It took Sun a while to realize that she had spoken out of turn. She quickly glanced at the prince and lowered her head.
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and Shao Shang quickly stepped forward and said, "Many of the fruits and vegetables used in today's winemaking and eating were grown in the palace from seeds the Crown Prince had found in the Western Regions. These are the true gifts the Crown Prince wants to give for today's birthday banquet."
The prince looked at Shao Shang with gratitude and sighed in his heart. Sun was ignorant of the overall situation and loved vanity. In contrast, when he saw his former sweetheart Qu Lingjun, he felt mixed emotions.
He Zhaojun leaned close to Wen Ziduan's ear and said, "Believe it or not, there's something interesting to watch later. Look at Sun, how jealous she is of the Crown Prince. Tsk tsk tsk, how ugly! Do you still expect me to be like this?"
Wen Ziduan picked up the chopsticks in front of her and picked up some food for himself: "Why don't you think about it, with my conditions, why doesn't anyone in the capital dare to show off in front of you?"
He Zhaojun curled her lips and said, "I heard that your cousin Yue Ling has recently gotten married. I wonder if you have sent any dowry or betrothal gifts to her?"
"Look, even a girl can be as adorable as you when she's jealous." Wen Ziduan smiled indulgently, "It seems I must be very grateful to Yue Ling. It's because of her that I've seen this side of her sister-in-law."
He Zhaojun turned her head: "Why?"
Why doesn't anyone bother me because of you?
