Chapter 1744 Gift

   After Emperor Xuanming walked in with the Empress Dowager, the whole banquet officially began.

  Emperor Xuanming said Pingshen first.

  All the talents sat up one by one.

  This time there were no separate seats for men and women, and Chu Heng sat next to him.

  The advantage is that she can directly tell Chu Heng about anything, but the disadvantage is that she has received everyone's attention from the beginning, and she is a little uncomfortable even eating a meal.

  Princess Nanjiang is not there.

  Ye Muyu frowned even more.

   But after all, there were too many people around, and she calmed down after a while, and didn't show it any more.

  After all the princes and nobles in front had presented congratulatory gifts, it was almost the turn of the officials below.

  Ye Muyu has already handed over the gift to the servant, and now the servant will sing the song and give the gift out.

   When it was the turn of the Chu family.

   Soon, a wooden sculpture covered with a red cloth was delivered.

  Ye Muyu looked at the wood carving quietly.

After the maid sang the song, the queen mother was really interested. At the request of the queen mother, the red cloth was torn off, revealing the delicate birthday picture underneath. But it is precisely because of this that the delicacy of this wood carving can be shown.

  Ye Muyu has been paying attention to the ever-popular woodcarving. She is not sure whether the Qi family will do it in the palace. After all, with Qi Zhaoyi around, it is too easy to do it in the palace.

  Chu Heng always reassured her that nothing was wrong, but when the dust settled and the wood carvings were intact, she breathed a sigh of relief and noticed that the smile on Qi Shangshu's face stiffened for a moment.

  This reaction also shows that the other party is indeed ready to attack, but I don’t know why, but it doesn’t work. It is estimated that Chu Heng’s blocking has played a role.

  Ye Muyu couldn't help reaching out and pinching his fingers, and smiled gratefully at him.

   "Do you trust your husband?" Chu Heng curled his lips and asked in a low voice.

  Ye Muyu quickly flattered and coaxed people: "Believe me, I used to be blind."

   "You have to trust me so much in the future. If something really happened, it must be your husband and me. Otherwise, why would you not be able to complete the task you assigned."

   "Bah, bah, bah." Ye Muyu hurriedly interrupted him: "What nonsense, did you do it on purpose to make my heart feel bad?"

"Isn't it, do you want you to feel sorry for me?" Chu Heng said without hesitation, his fingers hooked slightly on her palm, and some itchiness came from the palm, but Ye Muyu didn't take back his hand, looked at him, and looked at him again. Angry and helpless.

  Ye Muyu didn't talk to Chu Heng for a long time, the queen mother here has already asked her to go out to talk.

  Ye Muyu had already prepared, got up, walked forward, and saluted the Queen Mother.

  The Empress Dowager's complexion looked better than before, and she really likes the wood carving made by Ye Muyu at the moment, she asked softly, "Mrs. Chu, I heard that you carved this wood carving yourself?"

  Back then, in order to keep the loom workshop, Ye Muyu went to the palace and asked the queen mother for an order. He also mentioned this wood carving. Although he didn't publicize it, almost all the officials with status knew about it.

  The Queen Mother's question is obviously to save Ye Muyu's face.

  Ye Muyu replied neither humble nor overbearing: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, this wood carving is indeed made by a concubine, as long as you don't dislike it, Your Majesty."

   "I don't dislike it, I am very considerate." The queen mother played with the wood carving and asked her how much time she spent and how she made the wood carving so exquisite.
