Chapter 117: 八仙祝寿图

[The Eight Immortals strive for to congratulate (an elderly person) on her birthday]

This scene, the people at the bottom looked at this scene, kinds of envy and very jealous ah

And those distinguished noblewomen who were secretly in love with the Emperor had their hearts broken all over the place.

Is this person still that high, cold and noble emperor?

How could he show such an expression to another woman?

But such an emperor really had an indescribable charm!

Who was it that said Lu Yunluo was no longer favored?

Look, take a look!

Where’s the hint of disfavor?

If this is still not favored, then Noble Consort Lan and Noble Consort Yao should not be alive. 

These two people, right now, one’s eyes are almost glaring off, the other, obviously very concerned but still trying their best to maintain the smile on their faces.

Tsk, tsk, tsk…

Really didn’t expect it ah. 

It’s amazing that a consort who has been exiled into the cold palace can regain favor.

This is simply a model for the harem ah. 

Everyone at the bottom was talking.

Prince Chen’s cool gaze swept over, then he got up without a sound and left the Xinyang Hall. 

While in the middle of the great hall, soon, it was already time for the birthday congratulations.

Lan Guiren’s birthday gift is very simple and blunt. She directly sent tens of thousands of taels of gold, that box of gold bright light directly made the audience dumbfounded.

It has long been rumored that this Kingdom Liu is rich in gold, rich in oil, yet did not expect this Lan Guiren was so generous to the empress dowager’s birthday gift, she even directly sent ten thousand taels of gold, really rich!

Noble Consort Lan even gave Lu Yunluo and Noble Consort Yao a provocative look when she returned to her seat.

She didn’t believe that the birthday gift of the two of them could still compare to her gold?

Immediately following was Noble Consort Yao’s birthday gift, a large object carried up by four eunuchs.

The red cloth was lifted, it was an embroidered picture of the Eight Immortals wishing them a happy birthday, shining with a faint golden light under the light.

“Surprisingly, it’s made of heavenly silk!”

Someone at the bottom exclaimed!

It was important to know that this Heavenly Silkworm Gold Silk was extremely rare.

Its price had reached the point where it was hard to find thousands of gold.

And every single thread on this entire piece of artwork is made of gold silk from the Heavenly Silkworm!

The price of this Heavenly Silkworm Gold Silk alone is enough to reach the sky. 

Moreover, the works are embroidered with golden silk.

Behind the painstaking effort, energy and time, I’m afraid there is no three or five years of circumstances that absolutely can not be completed.

Not to mention, the value behind this piece of work.

“Eight Immortals wishing for longevity?” Lu Yunluo looked at the picture in the middle of the field and suddenly felt as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn’t think of it.

[Eight Immortals (in Taoist mythology, usu. identified as Han Zhongli (汉钟离), Zhang Guolao (张果老), Lü Dongbin (吕洞宾), Li Tieguai (李铁拐), Han Xiangzi (韩湘子), Cao Guojiu (曹国舅), Lan Caihe (蓝采和), and He Xiangu (何仙姑); much presented in art)]

“Empress Dowager, this piece of artwork was unintentionally obtained by my daughter. I hope that Empress Dowager will like it. Empress Dowager, may your happiness be as boundless as the eastern seas [a stock term of congratulations], may you live as long as the ZhongNan Mountains, and your life will prosper!”

“Good!” The Empress Dowager has always loved embroidery, naturally knowing the value behind this piece of work, she was instantly all smiles.

On the spot, she rewarded Noble Consort Yao with a bunch of gold and silver, pearls and jewelry.

The gazes of the crowd eventually landed on Lu Yunluo.

Although everyone didn’t say anything on their lips, they all knew it very well in their hearts.

On occasions like this, what was being compared was their respective birthday gifts.

Especially in the palace, there are only three concubines, who have not been established after the situation, who can please the empress dowager’s heart, in the establishment of the queen will be able to more than a helping hand.

However, it seems that Yao Guiren’s Eight Immortals birthday wishes have become today’s best birthday gift.

The people do not quite believe, a consort from the cold palace can still come up with a better birthday gift than the eight immortals’ birthday wishing picture.

Noble Consort Lan thought the same.

Her ten thousand taels of gold had been crushed by Noble Consort Yao just like this, if Lu Yunluo crushed her again then she would be at the bottom of the list.

Although, she didn’t hate this Jie Jie that much.

But for something like a birthday gift, for an occasion like this, she naturally didn’t like being looked down upon either.
