Chapter 168

"Hey? Young master, what's the best way?" Liu Ruyan thought for a long time and couldn't think of a good idea, so he dragged Lian Chengming's sleeve and asked.

Since leaving the palace, Liu Ruyan has become more and more bold, but Lian Chengming is particularly happy with her irregular appearance.

Lian Chengming looked at Liu Ruyan's hand on his arm and smiled without thinking: "it's simple. Just put a dazzling pearl in the middle. Both sides dare not move forward because of the light. Naturally, they can be safe and secure."

"Ah..." Liu Ruyan whispered. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized: "I can't think of such a good idea!"

The answer was perfect. Liu Ruyan smiled and joked, "since the childe knows the answer, why don't you take a picture of the Persian woman? I look at the woman's good appearance."

"Do you want me to buy her?" Lian Chengming looked at Liu Ruyan, but his eyes suddenly became serious, holding Liu Ruyan tightly in one hand.

Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hand and said, "no, no, no, I'm joking. The woman's identity is unknown and it's a trouble to bring into the palace. If the woman appears in the palace, I'm afraid it will also bring trouble to your majesty."

"You know!" Lian Chengming thought of Liu Ruyan's eyes at mingyuyin for no reason. There was no impurity at all. Unlike her looking at herself at this time, she always seemed perfunctory.

Lian Chengming didn't have a good tone. He got on the carriage and took Liu Ruyan back to the palace. However, this time out of the palace, the harvest was quite rich. With the red jade peach and the picture of the eight immortals congratulating on her birthday, there was no need to worry about the Empress Dowager's birthday this time.

Liu Ruyan loved to play with the red jade peach. The jade was red and just held in his hand. It would be cold at first, but it was slightly hot after being put in his hand for a long time, as if the jade center could heat up.

Here, Liu Ruyan couldn't help being surprised. Looking from the outside, there seemed to be a spot of different colors in the center of the jadeite, like amber.

This longevity peach can not only be used as an ornamental, but also as a stove. In this way, the Empress Dowager will like it. Coupled with the picture of the eight immortals congratulating on her birthday, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet and gifts will certainly satisfy the Empress Dowager.

After returning, Liu Ruyan contentedly gave the gift to hong'er and asked her to wrap it carefully.

The Empress Dowager's birthday soon arrived. In order to prepare for the Empress Dowager's birthday, the palace was busy early, and the palace began to be lively again. Even there were more predecessors in the cold palace gate, and there was a festive atmosphere inside and outside the wall.

Lian Chengming sent someone to Zichen palace early in the morning. After receiving Liu Ruyan, he took him to the Buddhist hall.

The Empress Dowager sincerely prays to the Buddha. Before her birthday every year, she takes Lian Chengming and her concubines to the Buddha Hall in person. Everyone should kneel down sincerely and pray like the Buddha together with the Empress Dowager. This is an essential ceremony.

Liu Ruyan chose a light pink dress. The sleeves and skirts are gradually changing from pink to white. The circle of flowers are faintly dyed. Liu Ruyan's skin is more white and moving. Even Chengming can't help admiring it.

Lin Jinxiu looked at it from a distance and scolded in secret: "flirtatious sword goods!"

He was pulled by the red orchid around him. He was unwilling to take back his eyes and obediently accompanied the Empress Dowager.

Several concubines who had just entered the palace were able to go out of the palace and worship the Buddha with the people. They followed Lin Jinxiu in good order. When they saw Liu Ruyan coming, they all saluted. Lin Jinxiu was even more unhappy, and her face was extremely gloomy.

After the Buddha ceremony, when the people handed in gifts, the Empress Dowager was full of joy. She accepted and praised all the big and small things one by one.

Lin Jinxiu sent a picture of rivers and mountains, which was written by a famous person. It is said that the painter is still very fond of the Empress Dowager. I heard that he has a picture of rivers and mountains wandering outside and has been unable to find it. Now Lin Jinxiu has asked him to find it.

The Empress Dowager saw this picture and praised it again and again: "concubine Li has a heart. I can't send people to look for it. Now I have finally fulfilled a wish. Good, good, reward!"

"The Empress Dowager praised me. Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Empress Dowager's happiness and longevity is the best reward for her ministers and concubines." Lin Jinxiu smiled sweetly. She spent a lot of effort to find this picture, just to please the Empress Dowager.

She wanted to see what tricks Liu Ruyan could play and what gifts could match her picture of the country.

When hong'er opened the box in her hand, the people were surprised to see that it was red jade. Even in the daytime, the longevity peach of red jade was shining all over.

"On the Empress Dowager's birthday, the minister and concubine offered this longevity peach to wish the Empress Dowager a prosperous future and a younger life!" Liu Ruyan smiled brightly, took the opportunity to take the Empress Dowager's arm and said intimately: "the Empress Dowager might as well try this longevity peach in her hand."

"Oh?" the Empress Dowager looked at Liu Ruyan and silently took the longevity peach from hong'er: "is there any mystery?"

As soon as I started, I was surprised by the coolness of the longevity peach. Liu Ruyan quickly explained, "don't worry, the longevity peach is made of emerald. It will inevitably be cooler. If the Empress Dowager can trust it, you might as well take more time."

"It's really clever. Although it's made of red jade, why is it so light and lighter than the stove..."

The Empress Dowager was not interested, and soon felt the heat from the longevity peach, so she gave a small exclamation: "it's hot, like a stove!"

With that, the Empress Dowager put the longevity peach in Lin Jinxiu's hand, which meant that Lin Jinxiu would try it, and the empresses behind her touched it, showing a surprised look.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help smiling, so she held the longevity peach to Liu Ruyan: "good, good, really good. This longevity peach is the most suitable for mourners."

"Emperor, add a seat beside the mourning family today. The mourning family should sit with Princess Hui, or talk to the mourning family and relieve fatigue."

Lian Chengming was not happy and said, "is the empress going to rob people with her children?"

"You monkey, mourning for your family is just that you refuse to pull people around at this time. How can there be such a reason!" the Empress Dowager was like a child at this time, which couldn't help causing Liu Ruyan and her concubines to laugh.

Liu Ruyan took a look at lianchengming and comforted the Empress Dowager: "don't worry, empress dowager, my concubine must sit down beside you honestly."

Only Lin Jinxiu clenched her teeth and even heard the sound. She knew it was bad. When Liu Ruyan's eight immortals congratulated on her birthday came up, Lin Jinxiu almost shook her hand and left. Fortunately, Hong Lan was holding it by her side.
