  Chapter 119: Offering Gifts

  It was actually Qianjiu's first formal meeting with the Empress Dowager, and last time they didn't even have a chance to talk, let alone that the gift prepared by Qianjiu was handed over by Qinggui Fei.

  The empress dowager looked at Qianjiu and was very dissatisfied with her, but on such a good day, she felt that she shouldn't make things difficult for this young girl.

  The Empress Dowager's face was still quite good: "Get up."

  "Thank you, Imperial Grandmother."

  The Empress Dowager no longer cared about Qianjiu and did not go to see Qinggui Fei and Muyexiao, but only looked at the Empress, then heard the eunuch's voice: "The Emperor has arrived."

  Everyone knows that the emperor has arrived, which means it's time to go to the banquet. Suddenly, one by one, they looked at the empress dowager with bright eyes, hoping that she would let them accompany her to the banquet.

  The emperor walked directly towards Consort Qing when he saw her, and the empress happened to be standing beside Consort Qing as well. She looked at the two of them: "Let's go, it's time for the banquet."

  The Yellow River and the Imperial Concubine Qing looked at each other, then turned to Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager looked at Imperial Concubine Qing, her face darkened for a moment before quickly recovering, and walked forward with some anger.

  Xian Fei also had a black face, it wasn't that the Emperor didn't bring her, she couldn't attend the banquet, but those brought by the Emperor himself were naturally favored people of the harem.

  The Empress Dowager walked ahead and suddenly stopped, looking at Xian Fei: "Xian Fei, come over and support the Emperor."

  The emperor's eyebrows furrowed slightly. His mother was really getting old and muddled, knowing that the Liu family were his enemies yet still thinking of giving them face.

  The Empress Dowager had no idea that because she was getting more and more arrogant, there was already some estrangement between her and the Emperor. The distance from the Empress Dowager's palace to the dinner place was not far, and a group of people arrived soon.

  Today, Qianjiu followed Mu Ye Xiang and the Emperor to the Taihe Hall where a banquet was being held.

  The eunuch shouted loudly: "The emperor is arriving, the empress is arriving..."

  Qianjiu listened to the eunuch shouting out the names of the people coming, without even taking a breath in between, and couldn't help but admire the eunuch's lung capacity.

  It's really not easy for a eunuch to get to this point, but the eunuch just watched as Xiāo Wáng Fēi looked at him, unaware of the reason, and couldn't help but feel curious.

  But 1999 has already passed, he didn't dare to think about anything else, and just stood there honestly. The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the middle.

  The chair on the left was occupied by the Empress Dowager, while on the right were two chairs, one for the Queen and the other for Consort Sheng, with all the other consorts seated in their respective positions.

  Muzi Ye also took Qianjiu to their designated position, and after everyone had taken their seats, the officials stood up and knelt down: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, forever."

  "Long live the Empress Dowager for thousands and thousands of years, long live the Empress for thousands and thousands of years..."

  "Your Majesty's subjects bow."

  After everyone stood up and sat down again, the queen spoke: "Today is the birthday of the empress dowager..."

  Qianjiu listened to the emperor speaking above, and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Every year, such a banquet was held, and it really wasn't tiring. She let out a sigh, only to find that they had soon arrived at the segment where birthday gifts were presented.

  Those imperial concubines' longevity gifts were naturally not presented here, but rather those of the descendants. First, the emperor lit a jade Buddha, and then the three princes stood up.

  "The grandson had seen the empress dowager before, and he knew that she liked beautiful things. So he spent a lot of money to buy a beautiful red coral."

  Qianjiu looked at the Third Prince, Mu Ye Xing, with interest as he presented a red coral. What a grand gesture! She glanced at Mu Ye Xiao: "Your Highness, what's your gift?"

  It's really strange, I never thought of asking Mu Ye Xiang what gift he had prepared.

  The empress dowager on the other side saw this red coral, and her eyes shone with great satisfaction. Her gaze at Mu Ye also became more gentle, looking at Mu Ye: "It's still Ye who is filial."

  The emperor's face changed upon hearing this sentence. Next was the gift of the fourth prince, Muyeqi, who also wasn't a kind-hearted person. He stood up and looked at the empress dowager.

  "Grand Empress Dowager, I also drew a picture of Guanyin by hand for you. I hope that every year will be as auspicious as today and every day will be as joyful as this one."

  Looking at the Guanyin picture, the Empress Dowager merely nodded and said, "Zhēi'er has a good heart."

  The fifth prince, Muyexing, is an idiot. The empress dowager didn't think he would bring any gifts, so when she saw Muyexing come out, the empress dowager was somewhat surprised.

  "Does Xing Er also have gifts for the Empress Dowager?"

  Muyexing nodded and handed the night pearl in her hand to the Empress Dowager: "This is for the Empress Dowager, she likes it."

  Seeing that night pearl was also quite good-looking, he was satisfied in his heart. Looking at the Shepherd's Star: "Star is a good kid, go down first."

  After Mu Ye Xing went down, it was Mu Ye Xiao's turn to take the stage. Mu Ye Xiao naturally pushed his way out: "Grand Empress Dowager, the birthday gift I prepared for you is a Buddhist scripture."

  Is this a Buddhist scripture? The Empress Dowager looked at Mu Ye Xiao, then looked at Qian Jiujiu again. Qian Jiujiu smiled and looked at the Empress Dowager: "Imperial Grandmother, this is a handwritten copy of the Buddhist scriptures personally given to you by your granddaughter-in-law, it's the Ksitigarbha Sutra."

  "The Scripture of Ksitigarbha, three words that came out suddenly shocked everyone in the scene. Qianjiu smiled at the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, Emperor Xuan spent a lot of effort on this Scripture of Ksitigarbha."

  "These several volumes of the Dizang Sutra that were found were all incomplete, so Sun Erniang tidied them up and finally compiled a complete volume of the Dizang Sutra."

  The Empress Dowager smiled as she looked at Qianjiu and Muyexiao: "You have a good heart, this Earth Burial Scripture will be taken by the Imperial Grandmother."

  Just as the Queen Mother was about to take away the Earth Store Sutra, one of the officials finally couldn't bear it and stood up, looking at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, may I take a look at the Earth Store Sutra arranged by Princess Xuanji?"

  Qianjiu looked at the minister who was speaking, he was a cabinet minister, but Qianjiu didn't recognize him. He glanced at Muyexiao, and Muyexiao smiled at Qianjiu.

  Signaling her not to mind, this official was also a person who liked to study classics, and Xian Fei heard that someone had come forward to watch, and finally couldn't help but speak up.

  "Yes, that's right, Empress Dowager. They say it's the Ksitigarbha Sutra, just the Ksitigarbha Sutra. We still need to verify it, otherwise some people will use fake ones to impersonate real ones, which is not good."

  Qianjiu listened to Xianfei's words and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. To say such things in such a setting, was she completely without restraint?

  Is he still completely brainless? Unable to figure out the problem, Qianjiu looked at Muyexiao, but Muyexiao had a cold smile on his lips, looking at Xianfei.

  "So according to Xian Fei's meaning, the gifts that I and the Wang Fei brought out are fake?"

  Xian Fei was questioned by Mu Ye Xiang like this, and her face naturally showed some unwillingness: "This palace isn't saying it's fake, how can the King of Xiang come out and say it now, is he worried?"

  Muyeying smiled: "What is this king worried about?"

  "No matter how the queen arranges this gift, it is a token of our king and queen's sincerity, and cannot be distorted by you, Xian Fei."

  Xian Fei's expression was difficult to look at: "Hmph, it's not the Ksitigarbha Sutra if you don't want to say it's the Ksitigarbha Sutra, this is what's twisted."

  That cabinet minister obviously didn't think that by just opening his mouth and wanting to borrow the Earth Store Sutra, he would actually trigger a great war between Mu Ye Xiang and Xian Fei.

  Qing Guifei listened from the side and also coldly snorted: "Xian Fei, what are you doing? You're taking advantage of your seniority to bully my son? Regardless of whether this is a complete Earth Treasure Sutra or not."

  "Even the Dizang Jing that the queen has sorted out is a piece of mind, how did it become distorted? You'd better explain it to me?"

  His Majesty looked at the development of things into what it is now, looking at Qianjiu's expression, a hint of calmness, seemingly having an idea in his heart.

  The empress glanced at the Grand Minister of the Imperial Cabinet: "Empress Dowager, since Li wants to take a look, you can lend it to him for now."

  The Empress Dowager heard that the Emperor had said so, and naturally did the same. She ordered someone to bring the Earth Store Sutra to Minister Li of the Grand Council. Minister Li received the Earth Store Sutra.

  She immediately began to flip through it and didn't care where she was. The more she looked, the more surprised she became. Some places that were previously disconnected suddenly made sense.

  After Lord Li had flipped through the entire Ksitigarbha Sutra, he then held it up with both hands and looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, this should be the last complete Ksitigarbha Sutra in this world."

  "But with this one, there can be more K?itigarbha Sutras in the future."

  Xianfei heard this and couldn't help but think that the thing Qianjiu sent was indeed real, so wasn't her previous behavior a slap in the face?

  Just thinking that the Ksitigarbha Sutra has been destroyed for so many years, who knows if it's true or not? Looking at Lord Li: "I don't know how Lord Li is certain that this is the complete Ksitigarbha Sutra?"

  "How can this palace recall that the Earth Treasury Sutra has long been lost in the world?"

  Li Daren furrowed his brow. Was Empress Xian saying that he was also involved in the deception? He looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I was young back then."

  "I studied the Ksitigarbha Sutra with my grandfather, and at that time I had the opportunity to recite the entire sutra once. Later, I also tried to write out the complete Ksitigarbha Sutra."

  "It's just a pity that many places can't be remembered, but today I saw the Earth Store Sutra of Empress Wang, and only then was it verified, so I, your humble subject, can confirm that this is indeed the complete Earth Store Sutra."

  The Emperor nodded: "I am indeed trusting you, haha, today the Earth Treasure Sutra, such a Buddhist treasure, can actually return to my imperial family's hands."

  "This is also a good thing, and it seems that Xiāo Wáng Fēi has a heart after all."

  "1999 was just a faint smile: 'Father Emperor praised, daughter-in-law just wanted to give the Queen Mother a bit of filial piety, let the Queen Mother be happy for a moment.'"

  The empress dowager also smiled when she heard this, although she was unhappy in her heart, but still praised Qianjiu: "Xiao Wangfei has a good heart."
