On the other side, the tribute continues.

The queen gently stroked the picture of Guanyin embroidered with her black hair, with a smile in her eyes.

"Embroidering black hair is the most sincere expression of heart. You are thoughtful." The queen praised Hua Yuanshan who was standing with her hands hanging down.

Hua Yuanshan smiled happily, and said with all her excitement: "It is my blessing that Your Majesty likes it."

"Isn't it just a painting made of hair? What's so special about it?"

Princess Lin'an grumbled in dissatisfaction, holding the brocade box and walked forward to act coquettishly: "Aunt, please take a look at Lin'an too~"

The Queen looked at her lovingly and said jokingly, "I thought our little Lin'an wanted to be the last one to appear today! He waited until now to stand up."

Princess Lin'an chuckled and said with a red face, "Aunt only knows how to tease Lin'an!"

When she was young, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was still at the border. The empress was afraid that she would be treated with contempt, so she often summoned her to the palace to stay for a while and loved her very much.

Princess Lin'an opened the brocade box, revealing a crystal clear relic.

"Master Kuhua has great merits, and his relics are most effective in eliminating disasters and suppressing demons. I give them to my aunt, and wish her to be free from illness and disaster, and to live a long and healthy life." Princess Lin'an said with a smile.

"Master Kuhua! The relics of eminent monks are extremely rare. Are you willing to give them to Lin'an?" The queen could not hide her joy and waved to her with a smile.

"Why would you be reluctant to give it to your aunt?" Lin An ran over and shook her hand coquettishly.

The queen took her hand and patted it, saying, "Good child."

She looked at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo again: "Where is the prince? How come I'm all the way to Lin'an but don't see him?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo stood up and replied, rather helplessly, "That brat was so mysterious. He said he was going to prepare a gift, but I don't know where he went to prepare the surprise."

As she was talking, Rong Xiu came over with a smile: "Mom, why are you always ruining things?"

He held an exquisite brocade box in his hand. He knelt on one knee and saluted, and opened the box without waiting for the queen to say no.

A faint fragrance wafted from the box, and a small and delicate hollow golden lotus appeared in the box.

The pistil in the middle of the golden lotus was made of a ruby. Rong Xiu raised his hand and gently twisted it to pick up the ruby.

Only then did everyone realize that the ruby ​​was actually a lid.

"My aunt always said that she had a shallow mind when she slept. This incense burner was found by me from the Western Regions. The incense is placed in it, and the smell is light but condensed and does not dissipate. It has a calming effect." Rong Xiu said.

Only then did everyone realize that the hollow golden lotus was actually an incense burner with an ingenious shape.

The Queen looked at him teasingly: "So our young general wants to use the gift as an excuse to take out the things that were originally intended for me!"

Everyone laughed out loud in good faith, and Rong Xiu did not deny it, but just smiled cooperatively. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm, like that of an ordinary family.

Suddenly, someone asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, why didn't the Prime Minister's eldest daughter come? There's no reason why the second daughter presented a gift but the eldest daughter didn't show up, right?"

"Yes, after all, she is the Third Prince's fiancée. How could she be so rude?"

Gu Changsu's expression darkened a little. He quickly scanned the area and indeed, he did not see the fat figure of that man.

This fat pig, can't she even do the superficial work? What's the use of her!

Prime Minister Hua's eyes were filled with impatience. This evil girl was becoming more and more ignorant!

Hua Yuanshan pursed her lips complacently. Could it be that the fat pig ran away because he couldn't produce a gift?

She pinched the handkerchief and whispered, "Could it be that my elder sister didn't prepare a gift? It's all my fault as a younger sister. If I had known this would happen, I should have prepared one for my elder sister as well."

Her voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear. Who wouldn't think she was polite and sensible?

On the contrary, the eldest daughter of the Hua family has not appeared yet, which is a bit too much!

Not only did he not prepare any gifts himself, but he even asked his half-sister to worry about it!

The Queen looked unhappy, and others could have let it go, but the eldest daughter of the Hua family was after all a daughter-in-law of the royal family, so how could she be so disrespectful?

Even if you get faith temporarily, but have nothing to offer, don't you know to hand-copy a few pages of Buddhist scriptures to show your sincerity?

The royal family's reputation was still easy to maintain. The queen said slowly, "I just brought it up on the spur of the moment. It was just a joke, just for fun."

"Let's have a feast," she said.

"Wait a moment!"

Hua Yuanzhao's voice suddenly came.
