Chapter 38 The Birthday of the Crown Princess 1
The first day of October is the birthday of Shen Yujuan, the crown princess of Zhaoyang Palace. Mu Yunting held a banquet in Zhaoyang Palace to celebrate Shen Yujuan's birthday.
On the morning of the first day of October, the people in Zhaoyang Palace began to be busy before dawn.
"You all move smartly. Be careful not to break things or you will look good!" An old lady in a dark palace costume of about 40 years old is directing the maids and eunuchs in the yard to live, looking at a busy scene.
"You say that His Royal Highness is very kind to the princess. Every year, the birthday of the princess is given to the princess, and he has collected a lot of rare treasures to give to her!" A maid holding a fruit plate said enviously to a maid with a bonsai beside her.
"That's right! Can the feelings of the princess and the prince be compared with those in other yards? The last time I heard that the night pearl given to the princess of the crown prince was stolen that night, the prince found dozens or hundreds of night pearls for the queen the next day!"
"Are you serious? How do you know?
"I have a cousin working in the courtyard of the crown princess, and she saw it with her own eyes that day!"
"What are you talking about? Don't do something quickly, or if you are seen by the stewer for a while, you will feel good!" Another maid with wine came over and said when she saw the two of them chatting happily.
"I know, I know, the stewman is the most scary!" As they spoke, they walked towards their respective destinations.
In Shen Yuwen's yard, many bonsai in the yard have been changed, and some of them are hung with red ribbons on the trees with green leaves. Even the decorations in Shen Yuwen's room have been replaced, and it looks a little more grand than the New Year.
"Mother, I said that you don't need to worry about anything. Don't you think His Royal Highness was so careful on your birthday this year? I was really happy to see that those people were so busy that they couldn't get to the ground. Crimson said with a smile while helping Shen Yuhuaan with her long hair over her waist.
Shen Yuwen's whole face was smiling. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart. She didn't expect that Mu Yunting's birthday for her this time was more grand than before.
"Your mouth is sweet. Please be careful not to tilt my hair."
"Ha ha, that's the Empress of course. The Empress is the most beautiful even if she doesn't dress up!"
"Do you know that your face is easy to die? No matter how beautiful it is, there will be an old day, so if you want to get something, you must grasp it now, you know?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Yes, what about Your Highness? Why didn't you see anyone else?" In the past, Mu Yunting would come to see her before going out to entertain guests, but now he hasn't seen him appear.
Hearing the words, the crimson eyes flashed quickly when Shen Yuhuaan couldn't see. Ha ha, the Empress doesn't know that there are more guests this year than in previous years. Maybe His Royal Highness has gone out to entertain the guests. But in fact, Crimson heard a sister in the yard say that Mu Yunting seemed to be going in the direction of the Emerald Garden.
Hearing this, Shen Yuyan nodded and said, "Well, it's right. When I looked at the list on the invitation yesterday, I found that there were nearly twice as many people this year as in previous years. It's just a small birthday. Your Highness is simple..."
"Mother, this is your blessing. No one can look forward to it!"
Shen Yuyan covered her mouth and laughed softly. Yes, it's true that others can't look forward to it!
"That's right, you two can ask someone to let them out for a day." After a while, Shen Yuhuan seemed to think of something, and then ordered to Fei Hong.
After listening to Shen Yuhuan's words, Shen Hong asked strangely, "Mother, it's not easy to see them this year. Why do you want to let them out?"
"No matter what they say, they are all famous concubines. I don't even have a concubine around my birthday. What I don't know is that I think that I locked them up and won't let them come. At that time, it will ruin my reputation?" Although she was extremely reluctant to do this, she still had to do some face-to-face things well.
"But, it's the Empress, those two are ordered by His Royal Highness. Even so, no one will say anything about your head!"
"You stupid girl, how do you know what people outside think? This backyard is all about women. Will those people talk about Your Highness instead of me? In the eyes of outsiders, how can the prince of a country be interested in what happens in the woman's backyard?
"Yes, the maidservant knows, and the maidservant will let them out."
"It's just to let them out for the banquet tonight. Aren't they going back to that yard after tonight?" Just let them go out all night, she still doesn't believe that they can turn out any waves?
"Yes, the maidservant knows."
"If you know it, go and tell it. It's not early now. Tell them to move faster. Don't waste time."
When Crimson was about to lift the curtain and go out, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly stopped and turned back to Shen Yuhuan and said, "Yes, Madam, do you want to call the one in Qiyun Courtyard together?"
Hearing the words, Shen Yuhuan frowned gently. After a while, she said to Fei Hong, "You can also say it, but you know what you know. Even if she comes, it's okay, because no one will notice her.
"I feel much at ease when I see her coming these days, and I don't know what she is thinking!"
"Hm, you still have to be careful about some things. You just need to know what to do. Go ahead."
"Yes." After saying that, Crimson came out with the order.
Unlike the hustle and bustle in Zhaoyang Palace, Xie Zhiruo's yard will look much deserted.
"Miss, do you know why the palace is so lively today?" Yuexi opened a crack in the courtyard door and kept looking out for a long time before closing the door. She turned to ask Xie Zhiruo, who was squatting in the yard and adding soil to the potted seedlings.
Xie Zhiruo didn't look up and still concentrate on the medicine seedlings in her hand, as if she hadn't heard Yue Xi's words.
Seeing this, Yue Xi came forward helplessly and put her hand in front of Xie Zhiruo and shook it. Miss, Yuexi is talking to you. Why don't you pay attention to Yuexi? These days, the relationship between Yuexi and Xie Zhiruo is getting better and better. Xie Zhiruo has always regarded Yuexi as a good friend in this strange dynasty, and has never regarded her as a maid or maid of honor.
Over time, Yuexi did not have the same restrictions on Xie Zhiruo as before. When they get along with each other, they are more like two good friends together.
"Hm? Are you talking to me in the past? Xie Zhiruo was called by Yuexi and came back to her senses from her own world. She stared at Yuexi with a pair of big eyes and asked doubtfully.
"Miss, as long as you play with these medicinal seedlings as if you don't care about anything, Miss is really serious."
Xie Zhiruo nodded with a smile and said, "Well, yes, this is my first time to plant it. Of course, you should take better care of it! And I'm also very happy to see them grow up so healthily. Isn't Yuexi happy to see them grow up day by day? In fact, what Xie Zhiruo didn't say to Yuexi is that she won't miss Ye Yan so much only when she is busy with other things, and Mu Yunting, who has the same face as Ye Yan.
Ye Yan, have you seen it? This is the medicine I planted myself!' Xie Zhiruo said in her heart to Ye Yan, who didn't know where it was. She remembered that when she first met Ye Yan, Ye Yan planted an evergreen tree for her. He said that even if they died, this evergreen tree, which represents their love, would still exist in that world and could not be extinguished forever.
The small medicine seedlings she planted now are just like her hope for Ye Yan to come back to her side. Watching the small medicine seedlings grow healthily day by day, she feels that the greater the hope of Ye Yan coming back to her side is.
She knew that her idea was ridiculous and unrealistic. She always deceived herself that Mu Yunting was Ye Yan. She always thought that Mu Yunting was Ye Yan's previous life, but in fact, she had no basis at all. The reason why she thinks so is that her miss for Ye Yan is almost crazy.
She hasn't seen Mu Yunting for so many days, and her heart is very empty. She rarely hasn't seen 'Ye Yan' for so long, and she doesn't know what he is doing now. Will she accompany Shen Yuyan? They live so sweetly...
Yuexi saw Xie Zhiruo talking to her and then ignored her again. She felt very boring, but she was very curious about what had happened in the house today, so she didn't pay much attention to Xie Zhiruo, but opened the courtyard door and walked out.
