Jiang Jinghe's hesitation instantly made the late emperor's face fall.
She grabbed Jiang Jinghe's hand, which was folded around her arm, and said in a deep voice, "With the Queen Mother here, I don't think anyone would dare to make things difficult for you because of this!"
The late emperor had a cold face and spoke bluntly. The ministers knew clearly who he was warning.
The ministers sighed after seeing the late emperor's attitude towards Your Majesty. They didn't expect that after so many years, the late emperor still couldn't let go of the previous grudges. Even though he lived in Jialan Palace for a long time and rarely came out, the relationship between him and Your Majesty did not ease at all.
Today is the late emperor's birthday, so Jiang Jingyu naturally wouldn't say anything to offend her.
As the late emperor walked towards the main seat, the ministers knelt down in front of him, and Jiang Jingyu also stood up from his seat.
"Queen Mother."
She leaned forward slightly and called out.
The late emperor didn't even give Jiang Jingyu a spare glance and walked straight to his seat.
When passing in front of Jiang Jingyu, Jiang Jinghe curled the corners of his lips slightly, deliberately flicked his sleeves, and looked at her with a smug look on his face.
Even if Jiang Jingyu is the empress, what does it matter? With the empress mother around, she still dares not even say a word?
Finally, Jiang Jinghe followed the late emperor and sat down next to Jiang Jingyu, looking down at the ministers kneeling in front of him. After experiencing what it felt like to be in a high position, Jiang Jinghe desired power even more.
Soon, very soon she will be able to pull Jiang Jingyu down from the throne.
Thinking of today's plan, Jiang Jinghe curled his lips slightly, and his heart was already filled with excitement that he could no longer contain.
Now she just hopes that time can go faster and faster.
"Everyone, get up."
The former empress flicked her sleeves slightly, and her wide dress spread out on the ground behind her.
After responding, the ministers stood up from the ground and slowly returned to their seats and sat down.
Jiang Jingyu also sat down in her seat, ignoring Jiang Jinghe's provocation.
Jiang Jinghe suddenly frowned when he looked towards Jiang Jingyu. Where is Mingyou? Where did Mingyou go?
If Mingyou wasn't here today, her plan would be ruined!
Thinking of this, Jiang Jinghe suddenly became anxious and kept looking for Mingyou in the hunting ground.
"Jing He, didn't you say you had a surprise prepared for the Queen Mother? It's time to tell her what the surprise is, right?"
The empress looked at Jiang Jinghe beside her with a loving face, and was very curious about the surprise she mentioned.
Jiang Jinghe quickly retracted his gaze and turned to look at the late empress: "Don't worry, mother. Jinghe will present the things right away."
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Jinghe stood up and returned to his seat, presenting the prepared birthday gift.
"Jing He knows that the Queen Mother enjoys hunting, so I spent a lot of time and effort to find this Red Feather Bow for her. I wish her a long and prosperous life!"
"Hahaha, Jinghe is thoughtful. Hurry up and bring it forward for the Queen Mother to see."
The gift given by Jiang Jinghe was very much to the liking of the late empress. When the late empress saw the bow and arrow in her hand, her eyes lit up. Thinking of how happy she had been in the hunting ground before, her blood instantly boiled!
Jiang Jinghe smiled and held the bow and arrow in front of the late empress: "I hope the queen mother will like it."
"Okay, okay, I like it, I like it!"
The former empress couldn't let go of the longbow given by Jiang Jinghe, and kept stroking it with her head down.
Jiang Jinghe sent out the birthday gift first, and the next person to present the gift was Empress Jiang Jingyu.
"Bring the things up."
Jiang Jingyu gave a light instruction, and then several palace maids, led by Mingyou, came over carrying birthday gifts.
Mingyou walked in front of the team holding a long sword, with half of a silver mask on his face. His eyes, as deep as an ancient well, were calm and peaceful, as if he could see through everything in the world. No one could guess what he was thinking.
Jiang Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mingyou.
Mingyou's aura was so powerful that even the former empress who was admiring the longbow couldn't help but look up at him the moment he appeared.
She narrowed her eyes the moment she saw Mingyou.
I think this is the Mingyou that Jinghe mentioned.
Mingyou led the team to the main seat and stopped, waiting for Jiang Jingyu's instructions.
"This is the birthday gift I prepared for your Majesty. I hope you like it."
Everyone was curious about what the palace maid was carrying, but the thing was covered by red silk, so they couldn't see what the birthday gift inside was.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming You waved his hand and pulled down the red silk, and an intricately carved bow and arrow suddenly came into everyone's sight.
The longbow exudes an ancient atmosphere, and anyone can see that this bow is no ordinary item!
How could the empress, who loved longbows, not see it?
She put down the longbow in her hand, stood up from her seat and walked towards the longbow carried by the palace servants.
She fondled the longbow with a look of caress. Her eyes widened when she saw the ancient Sanskrit inscriptions on it, and her voice trembled with excitement: "T- ...
"Your Majesty, you have a good eye. This is the Moon-Covering Bow."
Jiang Jingyu's voice sounded behind him, confirming the words of the late empress.
"The Moon-Covering Bow, it's really the Moon-Covering Bow!"
The late empress was very excited, and her love was beyond words.
It goes without saying whose birthday gift was more favored by the late empress.
"Only the Queen Mother is worthy of being the master of the Moon-Covering Bow. Coincidentally, the birthday banquet is being held at the hunting grounds, so the Queen Mother can experience the power of the Moon-Covering Bow at any time."
Everyone knows how to flatter someone. Jiang Jingyu's words made the former empress very happy, and her attitude towards her became much softer.
"Jingyu is absolutely right. If that's the case, what are we waiting for? Everyone, change your clothes and follow me to the hunting grounds!"
The former empress couldn't wait to experience the power of the Moon-Covering Bow. She didn't even give the ministers time to present their gifts. She picked up the Moon-Covering Bow and headed towards her own palace.
