Hearing Yin Qiu's words, Dong Fang Hui immediately said, "Since that is the case, why didn't mother tell her son, and send more people to upper forest garden to look for him?"

"You are busy with national affairs, Wailing Home does not wish for you to be distracted by such a small matter." With that, the Empress Dowager Wei's gaze once again landed on Mu Qian Xue, and spoke with an amiable expression: "This gift from you suits Wailing Home's heart well."

Hearing the Empress Dowager Wei's praise of Mu Qian Xue, Shen Xi Jun had a bad taste in her heart, and immediately said: "Aunt likes Agarwood, after Xi Jun returns she asked people to find the best Agarwood, how is it like her, I don't know where to pick it up, with one glance it's just a low-class goods, where to put it in Aunt's hands."

His words caused Empress Dowager Wei's face to darken. A beautiful woman who looked about sixty to seventy percent similar, bowed and said: "Xi Jun has been spoiled badly by chenqie since childhood. Please forgive me, empress dowager. This man was the young sister of the Empress Dowager Wei, the Princess Pingyang.

Facing her words, Empress Dowager Wei held his hands and remained silent. How could Princess Pingyang and his mother not know of his intentions? They immediately said to Shen Xi Jun who was still seated on the chair, "Hurry and apologize to the empress dowager and Princess."

Hearing that she wanted to apologize to Mu Qian Xue, Shen Xi Jun was immediately filled with dissatisfaction, and argued: "Daughter again …"

"You still dare to say it!" Princess Pingyang cut her off and shouted: "Apologize!"

Seeing that the Princess Pingyang was angered, and that the Empress Dowager Wei was willing to help an outsider rather than herself, Shen Xi Jun felt both hurt and wronged, and wished that she could leave this place. However, she didn't dare to do so in the end, as she bit her trembling red lips and stood up, and first bowed towards the Empress Dowager Wei. "May the empress dowager forgive Xi Jun's rudeness."

"Forget it." Empress Dowager Wei said lightly. It was hard to tell if she was happy or angry.

To apologize to Empress Dowager Wei was nothing, but when she thought about apologizing to Mu Qian Xue, Shen Xi Jun felt as though she had seen a dead mouse. She didn't even bother to bow in respect until Princess Pingyang urged him again, before unwillingly moving her feet to's side. After looking at Dong Fang Su with a complicated expression in his eyes, he quickly bent his knees and said stiffly: "Please forgive me, Princess!"

Mu Qian Xue replied with a bow, "Zongji is being too serious."

When he returned to the chair and sat down, Shen Xi Jun's eyes were already filled with tears. The corners of Ping Qing's mouth raised slightly, he handed over the kernels and said softly: "Wipe it."

"No need!" Shen Xi Jun stubbornly said as she tightly pursed her lips, trying her best to force the tears that were floating in her eyes back.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Dong Fang Hui smiled and said: "We remember that the year before, mother was born. Seventh Brother had presented himself as a personally carved heavenly blessing official, and last year was Lu Xing.

Princess Pingyang laughed from the side: "Chenqie also remembers that the two blessing officials that King Rui met two years ago were truly lifelike, even better than those craftsmen. The most rare thing was the filial piety carved by this blade, Grand Concubine Chen sure is blessed."

"Other than marching and fighting, this is the only thing that this child Su Er knows how to do. The one who spoke was Grand Concubine Chen, her face was forever that calm and gentle.

"This carving took the most time. I once asked a craftsman about it, and said that it was a palm-sized design, from the start to completion, it would take at least ten days. King Rui had just returned to the capital not long ago, so how could he not have time to carve a birthday star? So what did Your Majesty mean by saying that it was not difficult for King Rui?"

After Dong Fang Hui ascended the throne, he took her as his successor and took control of the harem. Her surname was also Wei and he was the daughter of a cousin of the Empress Dowager Wei, and in short, he was his cousin as well.

"The empress was right, it was Zhen's negligence." With that, Dong Fang Hui looked at the embroidered box in Dong Fang Hui's hands, and laughed: "Seventh Brother, quickly take out the birthday present, let us see what kind of birthday present you have prepared."

"Your Majesty has long since guessed the Chendi's birthday present." Under the curious gaze of the crowd, Dong Fang Su opened the embroidered box. Inside, there was a one and a half feet tall longevity star carved from chicken wing wood, with a wide beard, holding a staff and holding onto a peach, its smile wide open.

Empress Dowager Wei recognized Dong Fang Su's carving technique at a glance and said in shock, "Didn't you just come back? How did you finish carving already?"

"Actually, before I left the Jinling, I had already roughly carved it. After returning, I worked hard day and night, and finally carved it the night before my mother's birthday. I was able to offer it to my mother as a tribute. With that said, everyone realized that Dong Fang Su's eyes were bloodshot. It must be because he had stayed up all night.

"Good!" "Alright!" The Empress Dowager Wei caressed the statue of the Fountain of Life that Yin Qiu had brought over lovingly, and only ordered her to put it away after a long while, before waving to call Dong Fang Su over and saying in pain: "Child, it's fine if you don't have the time, but why are you working so hard yourself? What if you get tired and become sick?"

"Mother, don't worry. Your son has a strong and healthy body. He can stay up for a few nights at a time. The most important thing is that Mother likes him." At that time, Empress Dowager Wei had cared for their kindness. Dong Fang Su always kept it in his heart and never forgot it.

"I like everything you send me, Wailing Home likes them all." The position of the Prince Rui's Palace's Wangfei can't always be empty, and so can you mother and son. You've always been looking forward to the early marriage, so you won't marry. Su Er, just tell the truth to the Wailing Home, don't tell me that none of the renowned noble women in this empire suit you? "

Hearing this, Shen Xi Jun, who had been lowering his head in anger, suddenly raised his head and looked towards Dong Fang Su's direction with a nervous expression. Princess Pingyang, who had seen her expression, slightly smiled, slightly waved her sleeves, and lightly patted the back of her hand a few times. The latter's pink face flew a little suspicious red, but his gaze did not leave Dong Fang Su's side.

Dong Fang Su's expression was calm as usual, it was not affected at all by Empress Dowager Wei's words, "This son also wants to be like Sixth Brother, no matter who it is, to marry the one he truly loves, and to have a couple for the rest of his life."

"You." Empress Dowager Wei shook her head helplessly, and then immediately became displeased: "This Old Sixth, it's fine if he's absurd, but he also led you astray. When he comes later, Wailing Home will definitely speak nicely about him."

Shen Xi Jun tightly clenched her ten slender fingers that were as tender as green onions. The rosy clouds on her face had long since been replaced by a deathly white. She stared at Mu Qian Xue, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
