After reading my mind, my mother and my sisters went crazy
Chapter 79: Giving a gift and being ridiculed in public?
Sitting high on the throne, the empress dowager was dressed in a gorgeous dress, as gorgeous and dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail.
Her clothes were embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, with gold and silver threads interwoven into a fine texture, making her look particularly dazzling.
However, this gorgeous coat can hardly conceal her sharp and sarcastic character.
Her face was cold and arrogant, with a high nose bridge and thin and skinny lips.
Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes give a glimpse of her extraordinary beauty when she was young.
Unfortunately, due to aging and wrinkled skin, there was a natural sense of harshness between her brows.
"No, no, no," Zuo Yexuan said in her heart. As expected, this old witch just likes to go against her!
Zuo Yexuan forced a smile and looked at the Queen Mother, Ouyang Lan, who was sitting on the throne.
"Daughters-in-law are referring to those gossipy women who like to gossip about other people's private affairs. Mother, please do not take them personally." Zuo Yexuan replied.
At this time, Aunt Rong who had come in earlier also came in to report. She bowed to everyone and went towards the Queen Mother who was sitting on the high throne.
Then he whispered something into the empress dowager's ear.
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly became visibly brighter.
She looked at Zuo Yexuan suspiciously.
I thought: She has disliked this daughter-in-law since the beginning and has been deliberately making things difficult for her for many years.
I didn't expect that she would still praise my good points in front of the servants?
"My Queen Mother, it is absolutely true!"
“When I rushed to Yikun Palace, I saw the Queen praying devoutly for you in the New Year. That’s why I arrived a little late.” Aunt Rong said with a happy face.
"Yes, judging from your recent performance, you seem to be able to rule a country." Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Zuo Yexuan and her expression improved a little.
"Take a seat." The Queen Mother waved her hand and ordered.
Zuo Yexuan didn’t know what Aunt Rong said, but seeing that the old witch didn’t go crazy, she finally let go of her slightly tense heart.
Zuo Yexuan sat down and Xiaotao hurried forward to hand over the list of New Year gifts.
Chunhua, who was beside Jiang Qingqing, also stepped forward and handed over their gift lists.
The Queen Mother simply glanced at it indifferently, then waved her hand and asked Madam Rong beside her to take it away.
It's just some exquisite porcelain, ginseng, deer antlers and other tonic medicinal materials.
It's a pity that she is suffering from illness now and I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left.
As a result, her temper became more and more weird.
If she could obtain a longevity pill that was circulated in the world of immortal cultivation, perhaps she could live a few decades longer.
It's a pity that in today's world of immortal cultivation, the Tianyue League, which is responsible for managing it, is becoming increasingly larger.
Even on the black market, cultivation pills are rarely seen.
The empress dowager had a worried look on her face, but when she glanced at Jiang Qingqing's gift list, her eyes inexplicably became meaningful.
The gift list above is pretty standard.
But the five words at the end, "Longevity Pill", hurt the empress dowager's eyes.
She had been searching for the elixir for many years, and it was no longer a secret in Xuanlong Country.
Now that Jiang Qingqing and others offered her the "longevity pill", she just felt that they were slapping her in the face.
How could a treasure that she couldn't find even with the efforts of a whole country appear in the hands of a divorced woman? It was probably a "longevity pill" that she made up just to please her.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's expression became a little gloomy. She also remembered that Murong Yue's scandal was exposed because it involved Jiang Qingqing, and it became the topic of conversation in the capital.
She had secretly checked the so-called storybook, and although there was no obvious evidence, everything pointed to Jiang Qingqing and others.
To her, Murong Yue was just a dog.
But after all, she has taken good care of him for many years, so she can scold him, but if he is bullied by others, she, as his master, will naturally help him vent his anger!
"Haha! Jiang, a longevity pill? This treasure that I couldn't find even with the whole country's efforts is now in your hands."
"It seems that the power of your Xiaoyao General's Mansion is so huge that even I and the Emperor can only look up to it."
The corners of the Queen Mother's thin lips curled slightly, but her sharp eyes fell on Jiang Qingqing.
Jiang Qingqing was surprised when she heard this.
What kind of longevity pill?
At this moment, Jiang Tiantian's voice rang out without warning.
[Ah~ It’s me, it’s me, I remember now! ]
[At the beginning, I saw my mother preparing the gift list day and night, exhausted, so I took out the longevity pill from the space as an extra gift and wrote it on the gift list...]
[The person who received the gift from my mother is probably either a close friend or an elder in the clan. I gave them a longevity pill that can cure all diseases and prolong life. I think my mother would be happy if she knew about it in the future.]
[Wow, there were too many gifts on the list, I didn’t seem to be able to distinguish them clearly]
[This queen is a bargain]
Jiang Tiantian wrinkled her face and sighed silently.
When Jiang Qingqing heard this, a warm feeling passed through her heart.
It really is worthy of being my mother's cotton-padded jacket, and it always thinks of my mother.
Zuo Yexuan: Ahhh! Longevity pill! A longevity pill that can cure all diseases and prolong life!
From what the little fairy said, she has it too.
Ah~ She wanted to know, would it be of any use if she turned around and went back now?
If I had known earlier, no matter how hurried I was, I should have carefully read the gift list Qingqing gave her!
It’s all this old witch’s fault. She’s pushing me so hard!
Zuo Yexuan's heart was burning with anxiety, and she looked at the Queen Mother with anger in her beautiful eyes.
He was publicly criticized by the Queen Mother, and her words seemed to imply that the General's Mansion was too successful and was a threat to the Emperor.
Jiang Qingqing stood up, saluted the Queen Mother again, then straightened her back and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"In reply to the Queen Mother's words, the Jiang family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations, worrying about the people's worries and being loyal to the emperor."
"We learned that the Queen Mother had been suffering from a chronic illness for many years and urgently needed a longevity pill. The general's mansion searched for it for many years but found nothing."
"This longevity pill is also a coincidence."
Jiang Qingqing's expression was calm, and she didn't even blush when she told lies.
"A few days ago, a white-haired old lady passed by my house. I saw that she was dressed in rags and had a head full of silver hair. I couldn't help but feel pity for her and treated her well."
"I never thought that the next day, she asked me if I had any worries, and I immediately told her about the longevity pill."
"I didn't expect that the old woman would just turn her palm over and hand me a pill. That pill is exactly the longevity pill." Jiang Qingqing said some nonsense.
"Hahaha, what did she say? A ragged old woman could actually give her an extremely precious longevity elixir in the blink of an eye?" Upon hearing this, someone laughed out loud.
"Yes, yes, such a bizarre thing might not even be written in a storybook." Someone echoed.
"That's right. What do you think? Could it be that some people have ulterior motives and want to take this opportunity to poison the Queen Mother?"
The person who said this was the gossipy woman from the envoy's family who had been angrily criticized by Zuo Yexuan before.
She had suffered a defeat at the hands of Zuo Yexuan before, but Zuo Yexuan was the queen and she could do nothing about it.
But now that she saw an opportunity to bring down Jiang Qingqing, she could no longer sit still.
"Rongzhi, go and get the so-called longevity pill that Jiang mentioned!"
"Today I want to see who is playing tricks and trying to murder me!"
The Queen Mother swept the entire room with a hawk-like gaze and spoke in a cold voice.
Obviously, she didn't believe that the longevity pill was real!
Jiang Qingqing, that ignorant woman, was either being deceived or she really wanted to murder him.
No matter which one it is, the Queen Mother wants to suppress it severely.
It is not only to suppress the power of the General's Mansion, but also to avenge Murong Yue!
