Chapter 1072 Gifts for Several People
Wanwan just stared at this headgear.
Although she didn't know much about these jewels, she could feel from the transparency of the gem that it was indeed a rare item in the world.
At the very least, there should be no Great Chu State.
She smiled and looked at her aunt in front of her, her eyes even narrowed into a thin slit: "Thank you, aunt."
Wei presented a gift, and Tong and Zhao were unwilling to be left behind.
Today, Tong was wearing a plain moon-white dress. Her expression was as reserved as before. She bowed slightly and took out an inkstone from the box.
This inkstone should be dark green in color, and the stone should be warm and smooth.
Although there is no luxurious decoration, it has an ancient charm.
She handed the inkstone to Wanwan with a smile on her face. The smile on her lips was always so gentle.
"Wanwan, this inkstone of my second aunt was obtained by chance. You are now at the age where you should learn calligraphy, so I thought that you should have a handy inkstone to accompany you, so I brought it here."
"I hope it can help you with your studies. Don't give up on it."
To be honest, when Lu Xingwan saw the inkstone, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
She really didn't expect that her second aunt would actually give her something to use for study.
Ever since she was a child in the world of immortal cultivation, she was forced by her master and eldest senior brother to study and practice calligraphy.
I thought that now that I have come to the mortal world, I could escape this fate, but to my surprise, it is still the same.
Although it was my second aunt's good intention, she would definitely hide the inkstone and never let my mother see it.
What if my mother wants to make her character more stable, wants to experience more, and wants to learn more? Then won't she be trapped in this palace in the future?
In contrast, she would rather go to the streets and alleys to take a look at the scenery outside.
However, Wanwan still reached out and took the inkstone handed to her by her aunt.
She knew in her heart that since her second aunt had given the inkstone to her, it must be no ordinary thing.
Sure enough, as soon as Wanwan picked up the inkstone, she felt a coolness passing through her palms and spreading throughout her body.
It was not until she got close to the inkstone that Wanwan saw that there seemed to be a faint layer of oily sheen on the inkstone, and it was obvious that it had indeed been stained by the years.
Lowering your head slightly, you can still smell a faint scent of ink lingering around your nose, making your heart peaceful.
"Thank you, second aunt. This inkstone is very unique. I will definitely write with my heart and live up to your kindness."
It's not in vain, but I appreciate your kindness, second aunt.
As Wanwan handed the inkstone in her hand to Jinxin beside her, Zhao had already stepped forward and placed the small wooden box in front of Wanwan with a smile.
Zhao slowly opened the wooden box, and the next moment, a spirit bird jumped out with a whoosh.
The sudden movement scared Wanwan.
She subconsciously took a step back, then stared at the spirit bird that had now landed on the table.
This bird looked so lifelike that she didn't even realize it was actually a mechanical object.
Judging from its appearance, it should be carved from jade.
Each of its feathers is carefully carved, and the fine texture is visible to the naked eye, just like a real bird.
At this time, Zhao stepped forward, picked up the spirit bird from the table beside him, and put it in Wanwan's hand.
"This is not a rare item. It was made by a craftsman. I find it interesting, so I thought of bringing it to the palace to relieve your boredom."
Wanwan carefully held the magical bird in her palm, turning it over and over to admire it, feeling very happy.
He stuffed the bird into Jinxin's hands and bowed to his grandmother and aunts in front of him: "Thank you, grandmother, and thank you, aunts, for your concern. I won't have any good gifts for you this evening."
Several people laughed again.
It was now noon, and when Jin Xin Si Yu arranged for the people in the palace to carry these boxes down, it was also time for dinner.
Because of Song Qingyan's request, the meals in Qingyun Palace have never been lavish.
But perhaps because there were guests at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion today, most of the dishes were the ones that Song Qingyan loved to eat when she was at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Although it is not lavish, every dish is exquisite, with good color, aroma and taste.
Although they are required not to talk while eating or sleeping, this is the most relaxing moment for them.
A few people chatted leisurely in the hall, with laughter and joy coming one after another.
For the Song family, this palace banquet was actually not important. Being able to share this lunch with Lu Xingwan and Song Qingyan was already the warmest moment for them.
It seems to be able to drive away all the troubles from the outside world.
Fortunately, before this palace banquet, the emperor considered it again and again and issued a special order.
After entering the palace, all officials' families no longer had to go to the harem to pay their respects to the various palaces, but could go directly to the Xuanfu Palace to attend the palace banquet.
This is also the reason why Lu Xingwan was surprised when he met Yuepin's mother and sister.
This mother and daughter are not only stupid, but also bold.
Song Qingyan didn't know what other people thought, but for her, this imperial edict was indeed the best thing.
Because there has been no queen in the harem, Song Qingyan's status is actually the highest in the palace.
Therefore, in the past, the most number of women from official families went to Qingyun Palace to pay their respects.
Therefore, when the palace banquet arrived, the Qingyun Palace became like a market.
They were either flattering or harboring ulterior motives. In short, all kinds of hypocrisy were intertwined together, and Song Qingyan was really unwilling to deal with them.
Now that these troubles are gone, Qingyun Palace has become unusually quiet.
She was also able to enjoy this lunch with her family.
Everyone stayed in Qingyun Palace for a long time until the bell of Shen time rang. Then everyone got up, straightened their clothes, and prepared to set out towards Xuanfu Palace.
At this time, Lu Xingwan had already changed into the clothes that Xiao had brought her.
I have to say, even though I haven't seen her for eight years, the clothes designed by Xiao are just the right size for Lu Xingwan, making her look even more beautiful and charming.
Yes, now she has grown up and blossomed.
It must be said that her appearance was indeed something that all the women in the capital couldn't help but take a second look at.
Of course, in order to prevent my aunt from feeling that I was disrespecting her, the set of headgear that my aunt had just brought was now also on her head.
Although it was a bit cumbersome, Wanwan knew that since this palace banquet was hosted for her, as her father's daughter, she still had to give him enough face.
