164 The emperor arrived
Lin Su waved his hand to let the three people except Chunyan leave, which made Chunyan bring a cloth pier for Lanrui to sit down. "It's rare for you to come to my Fuliu Hall once. Thinking of the days in the Xinwang Palace before, Lanrui took care more about me. Since you came here today, why don't you sit down and talk to me?"
"Since the Empress said so, how can the maidservant not obey?" Lan Rui sat on half of the cloth pier with a smile and continued to follow Lin Su's words, "The Empress is free and God's help. I'm just doing my part. It's really wrong for me to make the Empress worry about me."
"You just abide by your duty. No wonder the queen will value you. Countdown, there were many maids who followed the queen at the beginning, but now I see that Lanrui is the only one left."
Lin Su sighed in a low voice, and then smiled, "It can be seen that Lan Rui, you are thoughtful and reassuring."
"The Empress is overreputed, and the maidservant is just doing her part." Lan Rui lowered her head to avoid Lin Su's eyes, and her eyes fell on the menu on the soft table. She whispered, "My mother's birthday is the most important thing at the end of this year. The queen originally cared about it very much, but because she has been eating light recently, her body is a little weak and depressed, and she rested early every night. That's why I can't come to the banquet.
When Lin Su heard the words, he restrained his smile, with a trace of sadness on his face, and whispered, "The little prince's death is very sad in the harem. The empress is also the mother of the little prince. As the saying goes, mother and son are connected. The Empress's sadness for the little prince really makes people sigh that she has a deep relationship with the little prince.
After a slight pause, Lin Su continued, "It's just that I'm pregnant now, and there is snow and ice outside. It's really inconvenient to go out, so I can't accompany the Queen more. Since Lanrui is here today, I can't help but ask, how is the queen now?
Hearing Lin Su ask about Zhou Shuxian, Lan Rui quickly stood up and said, "The Empress Lao Xian is concerned. The Empress's mood has stabilized a lot now. She is no longer the same as a few days ago. As soon as she sees the clothes that the little prince once used, she wears tears."
"You sit down, I'm just asking. Don't be so nervous." Lin Su sighed, "The little prince has always been smart. At the beginning, the queen was not feeling well, and I took care of the little prince for some time. At that time, although the little prince was very small, he did not cry or make trouble. He was very sensible. Now, he has passed away before he is over the age of age. It's really a pity and pitiful..."
Shake her head slightly, and even oozed some tears in Lin Su's eyes. "Lanrui, I'm a little depressed, so I won't talk to you anymore, Xia Yan..." She shouted loudly, and Xia Yan immediately entered the room, "You eat some snacks and talk with Lan Rui. I went into the inner hall to have a rest. Don't neglect Lanrui..."
Xia Yan answered with a smile, held Lan Rui who got up and said, "Master, don't worry, I just followed Qiu Yan to the kitchen to have a look before, and just brought back two plates of newly made snacks..."
"You eat secretly again. If so again, be careful that I will punish you for being hungry!" Lin Su shook his head and explained to Lan Rui a few words before he went to the inner hall to lie down and rest.
When Lin Su woke up from a nap, Lan Rui had already left the Fuliu Hall. She got up and washed for a while, held a small heater, and let Xia Yan come in when she nestled in the beauty's couch and read a book.
As soon as Xia Yan came in, she immediately saluted, came to Lin Su's side and whispered, "Master, the maidservant has done what should be done. Lanrui accidentally saw some of the menu and the silver bills used. The purpose of her coming here this time was really as expected by her master..."
Lin Su put down the book in her hand and quietly looked at Xia Yan. When she stopped talking, she nodded with a smile and whispered, "In this harem, they now want to deal with me, who is pregnant with a dragon heir, but only induce me to make mistakes and even disgusted by the emperor."
Her hand gently knocked on the low table, with a smiling expression on her face, and said sarcastically, "However, is it possible that they all regard me as a fool? Now the palace knows that the snow disaster in the north is serious, and there are tens of thousands of refugees, and the emperor has been worried about this matter for a long time. Do I still not know that at least to this extent, at this time, I will really spend 2,000 taels of silver for a birthday party to do luxurious things?
As she spoke, she snorted in a low voice, "How are you preparing for what I told you before?"
"Master, rest assured that all matters have been prepared. As long as the emperor arrives in the Fuliu Hall the day after tomorrow, there will be no accident." Xia Yan smiled and promised, "Before, I have personally gone to Wang Liulian and Zhao Yuexinren to invite them to attend the master's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, and both of them have also agreed to the master's invitation."
"That's good." Lin Su sighed, "Seror girls in the palace should also be invited. Don't be generous."
"Don't worry, the master's instructions have been kept in mind, and I'm sure I won't do anything wrong." Xia Yan lowered her head and said, "The invitations of all the beautiful women are also sent by the little maids in the Fuliu Hall one by one, and no one of the beautiful women in the harem has been missed."
"That's good." Lin Su nodded, "As for whether the emperor will come the night after tomorrow, it depends on how the queen speaks in front of the emperor. Think about it, in order to achieve the goal, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Queen will miss this opportunity.
"The emperor will definitely come the night after tomorrow."
Time passed in a blink of an eye. On the night of Lin Su's birthday, after the dark, the whole Fuliu Hall was brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of silk bamboo. Lin Su sat in the hall and looked at the beautiful women who had come with strange faces, socializing one by one with a warm smile on her face.
From time to time, the little palace girls came forward to add water to your teacups and send some cakes. Their clothes fluttered with a trace of elegance, which made the always quiet Fuliu Hall a little lively.
At this time, Zhao Yuexin, Wang Liulian and Lan Xin came together. After receiving the gift from the three, the three sent the gift of Lin Su's birthday. Lin Su accepted it with a smile and motioned Chunyan to come forward to accept the gift and put all the gifts received today together.
There, more than a dozen boxes, large and small, have been piled up, dazzling.
The three women sat down in turn. Before they socialised with Lin Su, they heard the legend that Zhou Shude and Zhou beauty had arrived outside.
Although Lin Su did not have to get up, her attitude towards Zhou Shude was more kind. The beautiful women also got up to salute one after another, and then the previous three women. Finally, Zhou Shude saluted Lin Su and gave a congratulatory gift.
"My sister is late, please don't be surprised."
"Sister Zhou, you are late. It's clear that we have come early." A beautiful girl smiled and came forward to show her goodwill, "Sister Zhou, it was just right when you came."
Lin Su and Zhou Shude looked up at the same time. Before they could say anything, they heard the eunuch's voice - "Your Majesty is here!"
