Before they knew it, everyone gathered around, hoping that their gift would be chosen.

"Your Majesty, please."

Concubine Yue stood up first and personally went over to help the Queen walk down.

Then, the ten gift boxes were opened one by one.

Under every piece of red cloth, there is a voice exclaiming and screaming.

Obviously the lucky one who was chosen.

After a little girl next to Shen Zhishu was chosen, she even jumped up, pulling her sleeve without caring about her image.

"That box was given by me. It's mine."

She looked eager to share her joy with the people around her.

Soon, all the red cloth was lifted.

Shen Zhishu also saw the box he had given at a glance.

Because it is so small, there is no other one like it in the whole venue.

Next to her was the "generous gift" prepared by Su Rong, an exquisite mahogany box.

Shen Zhishu took a closer look and instantly felt that the box itself was much more valuable than the things inside it.

The queen was also waiting in anticipation, opening them one by one and looking through them one by one.

It's fun to open presents like this.

Some gave pearl hairpins and jade bracelets, while others gave antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

In short, you can tell at a glance that they are all valuable things.

There were only two things that the queen couldn't understand.

There was a white jade bottle in the black box. The queen picked it up, shook it, and then put it down again.

He looked uninterested.

"Could it be some kind of natural treasure?"

Concubine Yue asked curiously.

"Is there any precious medicinal material that cannot be collected in the palace?"

The queen smiled faintly.

Then the hand reached for the box next door.

As soon as she opened it, she was stunned.

"Is this...clothes?"

Concubine Yue also hesitated a little and asked tentatively.

"What an unexpected gift. I wonder what the secret is of this dress. It looks a bit strange and the fabric is also unexpected."

The Queen has already mentioned one of them.

It was pure black, very thin, small and short, had no sleeves, and had a protruding piece in the middle.

Anyway, it doesn't look like a normal piece of clothing no matter how you look at it.

"Could it be..."

Looking at the size, Concubine Yue suddenly guessed something and quickly covered her mouth in surprise.

The queen's hands also trembled. She threw down the black clothes and walked away with a look of disgust on her face.

"I don't know which young lady created this, it's really unique."

Concubine Yue, however, enjoyed watching the fun and even made a few jokes with a smile.

His eyes were still scanning the crowd.

It seems that he is very interested in the lady who sent the 'special clothes'.

"Cover it and take it away."

The queen's face darkened and she covered herself with the red cloth again.

When I continued to look at the gifts, I no longer had the same interest as before and just glanced at them roughly.

The little girl next to Shen Zhishu, who was making a lot of noise just now, now blushed.

"Who on earth is this? How could he give such a gift to our queen? Is he crazy?"

"Isn't it? You're not afraid of being punished by the Queen. I really want to know whose family this person is."

"The Queen is kindhearted. From her looks, she wants to save the young lady's reputation and will not make it public."

People around were talking about it.

Shen Zhishu watched expressionlessly as the box of clothes was sent away.

Is that all?

It's not over yet.

"I wonder if the gift sent by Concubine Shen was chosen by the Empress?"

Princess Shuo was also watching the fun, and seeing that Shen Zhishu's expression remained calm, she couldn't help but feel curious.

"What about yours?"

Shen Zhishu smiled calmly and asked back.

"Whether there is or not, I think the Queen is distracted by that special dress. I'm afraid the gift drawing process won't be very successful."

She didn't give a direct answer, but just smiled slightly with some regret.

Isn’t that so?

The queen walked around and looked at all the gifts, then picked up an ancient painting.

"It seems to me that this is Mr. Gummer's masterpiece."

He was the Queen's favorite painter, who was always collecting paintings.

It is understandable that she likes that famous painting.

Although the emperor had just seen the clothes, he didn't want to spoil the queen's fun.

I made a 'pretentious' comment on the painting.

"So it seems that this ancient painting has won first place?"

Concubine Yue asked with a smile.

The Queen did not refute.

Later, Concubine Yue held the note with the name and kept it a secret, asking the Queen to guess who this person she loved so much was.

Then they chatted and laughed for a few more sentences.

"Well, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I'm sure this lady can't wait any longer, right? The lady who sent the ancient painting is Miss Liu Yunshang, the daughter of the Minister of Justice."

Concubine Yue made appropriate jokes and announced the results at the appropriate time.

In an instant, everyone subconsciously began to look for the young lady of the Liu family in the crowd.

Shen Zhishu also looked over with everyone else.

Then I saw a woman in a green silk dress slowly walking forward.

She is a very pretty little girl, with a pair of bright black eyes, a round little face, a bit of baby fat, and a petite and cute figure.

All in all, it's a pleasing look, and looks innocent.

She walked to the front of the stage and knelt down to pay her respects.

"Is Minister Liu's little daughter this old now? I remember when she entered the palace a few years ago, she pestered me for cakes. She was so greedy."

When the queen saw the person, she looked surprised and started talking about the past.

He seemed impressed by the little girl.

"I didn't expect that the Queen really remembered me. I only came here once, and then mother blamed me for not knowing the rules. She was afraid that I might offend you, so she never let me enter the palace again after that."

Liu Yunshang looked at the queen with admiration, her eyes welling with tears of excitement.

Although what he said was a bit inappropriate, it didn't make people feel disgusted.

"You've only met me once, and yet you know what I like?"

"I have already started preparing for the Queen's birthday. Moreover, ever since I met you once when I was eight years old, I have always thought about you because the Queen is gentle and beautiful, just like a fairy in a play..."

Shen Zhishu laughed as he listened. He really didn't expect that her tongue could be so eloquent.

She is very talkative, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is just flattering.

But the little girl was so cute and innocent that even the bystanders just smiled when they heard her say that and didn't feel annoyed.

The queen was so amused that she laughed continuously.

It seemed as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness just now.

The emperor immediately took this opportunity to confer the title of Princess Anle on Liu Yunshang and also gave her corresponding rewards.

The lucky draw session ends here.

Princess Anle was even more favored by the Queen, who directly moved a chair and sat next to her.

Then, Su Rong's show was finally ready.

After everyone was seated again, the musicians came on stage.

There was a big drum on the stage.

Several red silks were connected to the pillars on both sides and laid across the center.
