Chapter 152 (1/2)
”What is this?” Bai Jun inquired curiously. He opened the box curiously and saw a pair of gray things in the shape of ”7”. Then he took it out to his majesty and smelled it. He was immediately surprised and said, ”flower antler?”
Yin Xun nodded.
Bai junzhuo picked up one of them and poked it with his fingernail. He was more surprised and said, ”the best variety of velvet antler is Hualu antler, and the texture of this pair is once-in-a-hundred years. It's absolutely hard to buy. Do you really want to give it to me?”
Yin Xun clenched his fist and pounded her on the head and asked her, ”what are you doing in the palace tonight?”
”Eat and drink.” Bai Jun Zhuo answered without hesitation.
”You come to eat rice on the Empress Dowager's birthday?” Yan Xun was so angry that he almost laughed, nodded her nose and said, ”this is the birthday gift you prepared for the Empress Dowager. Write your name later and give it to the steward of Jingyang palace!”
Bai junzhuo nodded and asked him in a low voice, ”but the main function of velvet antler is to strengthen yang. Are you sure you want to send this to the Empress Dowager?”
Yin Xun opened his mouth, thought for a long time, and said, ”this is the most expensive medicine that can be bought in Chang'an city.”
”You can't see whether you are expensive or not. You have to choose the right one,” Bai Jun Zhuo couldn't help but teach him: ”this thing is not as valuable as a bag of red dates for the Empress Dowager.”
Yin Xun raised his eyebrows and asked her, ”why, are you going to buy a bag of red dates for the Empress Dowager as a gift?”
Well, of course, to the Empress Dowager gifts to choose expensive, if she really bought a package of red dates, the Empress Dowager would think she deliberately humiliated people. She was also a great doctor, and it was most suitable to send medicinal materials. However, it was difficult for Yin Xun to make a painstaking effort. It's just that this thing is of no use to the Empress Dowager. He spends a lot of money to buy two wastes. As expected, rich people are willful.
She gave the two Velvet Antlers to the Empress Dowager in her own name. Not long after, she heard the shrill voice of the eunuch coming from the gate of Jingyang Palace: ”the empress dowager, the emperor.”
As soon as the voice rang, all the royal nobles, civil and military ministers and their families, as well as the concubines and concubines, all returned to their places. Yin Xun was a royal family, and could not continue to stand with Bai junhuo, so he shook her hand and said, ”be careful, don't go wrong.”
Bai junzhuo winked at her, ”don't worry, how others do, how I do, will not be noticeable.”
Yin Xun nodded, and then he left at ease.
After the crowd stood up, they bowed down and called out, ”the minister (Minister's wife) sees the empress dowager, your majesty.”
Then a group of people came out of the gate of the hall. The one in the middle of the front was the Empress Dowager of the current Dynasty. Her eyebrows were slightly smiling, but not reaching the corners of her eyes. It showed a fierce air that people could not look directly at. It seemed that she was the king who looked down on the world.
She wore a huge Phoenix crown, and her clothes were extremely gorgeous. They were all sewn with gold wire, and the corners of her clothes were decorated with pearls, jade and gems. When she walked on the road, she was extremely dignified.
Bai junzhuo smacks his tongue secretly. It's so tiring. She really can't understand the fashion of rich people. These people are torturing themselves all the time.
At this time, the emperor became a supporting role and supported the Empress Dowager all the way to the top position and sat down. The Empress Dowager paid homage to the lower part and said, ”all of you are flat. Today's mourning birthday banquet, we don't have to be too polite.”
”Thank you, Empress Dowager.”
After thanking them, they separated from each other, and the Empress Dowager ordered them to sit down. The dinner was officially started, and the atmosphere was more casual than before.
Bai Jun stares at a table delicious in front of him, thinking that since the atmosphere is so active, is it possible to open a meal. She looked around and felt that no one was paying attention to her, so she picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of beef into her mouth.
At this time, I suddenly heard the Empress Dowager say: ”a few days ago, the plague spread in Chang'an City, and the people were full of complaints. Fortunately, God has blessed Dali, and the epidemic situation was soon suppressed.”
When the Empress Dowager mentioned the plague, it was estimated that he would talk about baijunzhuo soon. Yin Xun looked at the place where Bai junzhuo was sitting. When he saw that she was eating as if nothing had happened, he winked at her eagerly. However, Bai junzhuo concentrated on the food and did not look at him.
Fortunately, Lu Kang noticed Yin Xun and sat down with Bai junhuo. He pushed her and said in a low voice, ”master, please don't patronize and listen to the Empress Dowager.”
While chewing tough beef, Bai junzhuo nodded his head and said, ”I'm listening.”
Seeing her like this, Lu Kang looks at Yin Xun again, and the master of his family is on pins and needles. I can't help sighing.
When the Empress Dowager finished her words, someone immediately said in a voice: ”the Empress Dowager and her majesty blessed the common people and benefitted the country, which saved Dali from disaster.”
The Empress Dowager said with a smile, ”it's not the family's and His Majesty's contribution to cure the plague. It's Bai Aiqing's excellent medical skills that saved the whole city of Chang'an.”
Bai Aiqing, isn't that her? Lu Kang immediately coughed in a low voice to remind her of her idea.
”I understand, I understand.” Bai junzhuo whispered to Lu Kang twice. She had seen all these ancient costume dramas, but she couldn't help it at all. He immediately spat out the beef that had not been bitten. He respectfully said to the empress dowager, ”I'm ashamed. It's the Empress Dowager and her majesty who protect Dali. I can only cure the plague by virtue of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty's blessing.”The Empress Dowager laughed gently and said to her, ”Bai Aiqing, do you remember what the AI family said half a month ago?”
Half a month ago, when I gave her the first blow? The trough said a lot of words, who remembers.
