But the queen mother sighed and said: "This dragon and phoenix jade pendant was given to Ai's family by the emperor, and Ai's family has always regarded it as a treasure. I thought it was forgotten, only Ai's family remembered it, but Concubine Xi actually knew about it. The existence of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant. Forget it, Hongyu, go get this dragon and phoenix jade pendant, and today Aijia will give this dragon and phoenix jade pendant to Concubine Xi."
Shangguan smiled for a while, but she did not expect that this jade pendant could be so easily obtained.
Not only her, but other people's expressions are also complicated.
The importance of Longfeng Yupei to the Queen Mother is self-evident, but the Queen Mother is willing to give such an important thing to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, which shows how important Shangguan Xiaoxiao is in her heart.
"Chen and concubine thank the Queen Mother for the reward." Shangguan smiled and immediately knelt down to receive the reward.
When the maid Hongyu handed the reward to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was so happy, she immediately got up and said: "The queen mother, the concubine still has a birthday gift to give to the queen mother, please move to the flower hall for a moment."
Shangguan smiled at this quirky appearance, which the queen mother liked very much.
The queen mother was helped by Hongyu to the flower hall, and Shangguan Xiaoxiao also followed.
The next birthday banquet is still going on, but the show is over, that is, ordinary singing and dancing to add to the fun.
Since the show is not attractive, everyone has also focused their attention on the food, and feasted on the delicious food that is not available in the outside world.
When Shangguan smiled and walked into the flower hall, he saw the queen mother drinking tea.
"Concubine Xi, what are you planning to do?"
"The queen mother, the concubine has received such a valuable reward, and naturally she wants to give you some gifts in return. The concubine knows a makeup technique that can make you ten years younger today."
"What? There are such miraculous things?" Women love beauty, even the queen mother is no exception.
Shangguan smiled and took out his cosmetic bag.
This is a special cosmetic bag that she exchanged for 50 taels of silver.
She was reluctant to use it herself, and this time she came here specially to please the Queen Mother.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao's makeup skills are not bad, so after getting the permission of the queen mother, she started to help the queen mother with makeup.
After waiting for about half an hour, the makeup was over.
"Okay, Empress Dowager." Shangguan smiled and pointed the mirror at the Empress Dowager and let the Empress Dowager see for herself.
Hongyu on the side couldn't believe her eyes, why just smeared it like this, how can a person be more than ten years younger in an instant?
The things in this box of Concubine Xi are also amazing.
And the Queen Mother was startled when she saw herself in the mirror.
In this world, there are only bronze mirrors, so you can get a rough idea by looking at people.
But what Shangguan Xiaoxiao gave her was a glass mirror that could clearly see people.
The queen mother took the mirror and tried her best to look at her own appearance. She couldn't believe that she could still be so radiant.
It was as if I was back in my youth.
"Concubine Xi, what kind of magical technique do you have? It really made Ai's family more than ten years younger." The queen mother took the mirror and looked at it happily.
Not only was she satisfied with the makeup Shangguan Xiaoxiao set for her, but she was also satisfied with the mirror that could be seen.
Shangguan smiled and saw that the Empress Dowager liked the mirror, and said: "Empress Dowager, this makeup is a kind of trick, which the concubine learned from an expert. But if you want to maintain it for a long time, the concubine does not have that ability. I need the concubine to study with this master for a few more years, maybe it will do. Although this makeup is a trick, the mirror is real, and the gift that the concubine will present is this mirror of the sun and the moon."
If Feng Lingzun was here at this time, he would definitely be able to read Shangguan Xiaoxiao's current heart.
She was just talking nonsense about the Sun Moon Treasure Mirror.
On the one hand, a little thing that is only a few dollars in her world is so magical.
The Queen Mother really wants to keep her face young, but people are always normal, she knows it well, but this Sun and Moon Mirror is a rare treasure.
Shangguan smiled and wanted to give it to her, of course she would not refuse.
"Is this also given to you by the master?"
"Yeah, this master travels everywhere, and the dragon sees the head but not the tail. The concubine just happened to know him, and the other party gave it to the concubine."
"This expert is very interesting. I don't know if he has other magical powers. If he can use it for the royal family, it will be very helpful to the emperor's country and society." The first time the queen mother wanted to win over the expert and serve the emperor.
Shangguan smiled but secretly wiped away his cold sweat.
This kind of expert doesn't exist at all, it's all her nonsense.
Now, if the Queen Mother really asks her to pull out an expert, it would be a crime of deceiving the king.
"The Queen Mother, this high-level man is haunted. If he doesn't appear, he will not be able to find it even if he sends people to heaven and earth. For example, this trick that can rejuvenate people and this precious mirror of the sun and the moon are not owned by the world, Queen Mother. You should understand what the concubine means."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao deliberately said things in a supernatural way, that is, to make the queen mother give up looking for an expert.
After listening to it, the queen mother really believed it.
"Then, Concubine Xi, all these rare tricks you know are also directed by this expert?"
"Yeah, before entering the palace, the concubine was fortunate enough to get the guidance of a high-ranking person, which is why these things happened."
The empress dowager looked regretful: "This person must be a talent, as you said, the other party is a god-like existence, and it is true that he will not condescend to serve the royal family, but it is a pity, but Concubine Xi, you are the emperor's concubine, naturally You have to share your worries for the emperor. If you see this goddess again in the future, you must seek more benefits for the emperor, do you know?"
"Chen and concubine keep it in mind." Shangguan said with a smile, but he was not happy at all.
After all, if you want to help Feng Lingzun, you have to use her small private library.
Her private library is still negative.
For her, who was short of money, not to mention buying those expensive things, it was a penny thing, she also had to consider whether it was of great use.
Otherwise, she is absolutely not wasting.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao and the Queen Mother returned to the Royal Garden together. At this time, everyone saw the change of the Queen Mother.
His appearance was suddenly more than ten years younger, which was tantamount to a changed person.
Not everyone can do this.
Concubine Zhou immediately stepped forward and stared at the Queen Mother for a long time before she said, "Sister, why do you suddenly look younger? What method did you use to make your sister shine?"
"Don't be sloppy, this is just a trick, it was made by Concubine Xi." The queen mother was praised for her beauty, she was nothing on the surface, but she was very happy in her heart.
There is no woman who does not love beauty, and being praised is the most glorious thing.
Since the Queen Mother has grown old, she has not dared to look in the mirror.
Now I have finally regained some confidence.
Shangguan's smile made the Queen Mother's face glow and she felt a lot more comfortable.
As the emperor, naturally, he had to reward her.
Feng Lingzun sighed with emotion that this little girl was full of ghost ideas, while rewarding her with more things than other concubines.
"Concubine Xi's birthday banquet was very successful. I will reward you with a pair of red jade bracelets, a pair of jade earrings, a set of dragon and phoenix hairpins, and a pair of cloud brocade silk and satin."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't intend to get too many rewards from Feng Lingzun, but he didn't expect that his opening was several times the rewards of others, and this time he made a lot of money.
"Many thanks to the emperor for the reward, but the concubine is disrespectful." Shangguan smiled and accepted the reward shamelessly.
Feng Lingzun listened to Shangguan Xiaoxiao and said in his heart, "I have made it," and couldn't help but feel amused.
Was this something that made her so excited?
Then she is really easy to satisfy.
The birthday banquet held by Shangguan Xiaoxiao ended successfully, so the queen mother drank a few more drinks, but the drinks were a bit alcoholic, so she quickly went to rest.
When the scene dispersed, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was called away by Feng Lingzun.
Because there is still something they need to deal with.
