Chapter 138 Conspiracy on Birthday
In a blink of an eye, it was Liu Hen's birthday. Before dawn, Liu Shuihan got up and ordered Chunxi to go to the East Courtyard to invite the prince, and he called the small ring water sleeves to dress up.
Chunxi got the order, and although he was reluctant, he had to walk to the east courtyard. Princess Lin was abhorrified in the house. Although the prince did not lose his temper and the servants in the house also knew that the prince must be difficult to mess with at this time. If you don't have long eyes to anger the prince at this time, you don't want your life.
Whling and lingering, the road that I didn't want to do, but after all, I still stood in front of the east courtyard. Housekeeper Li, the princess sent slaves and maidservants to see if the prince had cleaned up. There are still three parts away from the gate of the East Courtyard, and Chunxi stopped and asked timidly.
Li Tian raised his hand to signal her to keep her down. At dinner last night, the Taishi Mansion sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he wanted the prince to open it in person. There was also a satin-wrapped object with the invitation. After looking at the things in the satin, the prince stayed in the study and stayed awake all night.
"Go back and tell the princess that she will go back to the house first, and the prince will arrive later." Li Tian has been outside since the prince entered the study. At midnight, the prince sent a message, saying that if Liu Shuihan sent someone to ask, he would answer like this.
Chunxi's heart jumped, saluted, retreated, and hurried back to the north courtyard.
When Liu Shuihan saw that the prince actually agreed to celebrate his father's birthday, he was happy to guess that the prince was thinking about her? She also heard about Lin Xiaoluo's abduction. She was worried that the prince would favor Lin Xiaoluo and not want to go to his father's birthday banquet, but she didn't expect that the prince not only did not mention Lin Xiaoluo's story, but also responded to his father's invitation! How did this make her unhappy?
In a good mood, he was no longer so picky about the craftsmanship of Xiaohuan Shuixiu. After about an hour, Liu Shuihan finally dressed up and took the gift for his father. He happily left the house and sat in a sedan chair and went in the direction of Taishifu.
In the study, Mo Yuche held the phoenix gold pin tightly, and a trace of hatred flashed on his cold face. Liu Hen, since you want me to go so much, I have fulfilled your wish. I'd like to see what tricks you want to play!" Mo Yuche called the ring hidden in the dark and ordered it carefully before Mo Yuche left the study.
In front of the Taishi Mansion, Liu Hen's thin face smiled and said a few polite words to everyone who came to celebrate his birthday.
"Your Highness is arriving!" The famous boy shouted loudly, and the lively crowd calmed down in an instant. The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years!" The ministers who bowed down to worship were all surprised and thought that the Liu Taishi and the prince were so familiar with each other?
Mo Shaotian appeared from the carriage, his cold eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground, and then said in a low voice, "Get up."
Everyone knelt down again, then got up and laughed with the people beside them again.
"It's a great honor for Your Highness to come!" Liu Hen came forward with a smile on his face, saying compliments on his mouth. Your Highness, the old minister has sent things to the Seven Kings Mansion as you ordered, but he is not sure whether he can become an old minister." Standing next to the prince, Liu Hen whispered.
Mo Shaotian raised a confident sneer. If it were someone else, he might not have such confidence, but this person is Mo Yuche, the heir of Mei Fei, and he is fully sure that he will come! Liu Taishi doesn't have to worry, just wait to see the play.
"The emperor is here!" Before Liu Hen opened his mouth again, the famous boy shouted again and saw a brilliant carriage coming slowly. He didn't have to guess who it was. Long live my emperor!" Kneeling on the ground again, the ministers have already set off a storm in their hearts.
In the court, Lin Feng and Liu Hen are called ministers of literature and martial arts. The emperor will never prefer anyone. Why did he come to Liu Taishi's birthday banquet today? The reason for this has to be thought-provoking. Those ministers who stood on Liu Hen's side were overjoyed, and the prince was very surprised by his arrival. Now even the emperor has come in person. It seems that the Taishi overwhelmed General Lin!
"Your Majesty!" Liu Hen trembled and stood in front of Mo Cheng as if he had received a great favor, and his grateful expression almost cried bitterly. It is a great blessing for the emperor to visit the old minister's house in person!" With that, he had to kneel down.
Mo Cheng stretched out his hand to help Liu Hen, but in the end, he just put away his hand and said, "Liu Aiqing, don't be polite." The teve tone taught people to guess the purpose of his visit to the Taishi Mansion.
Liu Hen was also guessing the intention of the emperor's visit, but he still had a grateful look on his face, "Thank you, emperor! Emperor, please. Don't hurt your body if it's too wind outside.
Mo Cheng did not respond and walked up to the house. When he passed by Prince Mo Shaotian, he paused and then stepped into the Taishi Mansion. Mo Shaotian looked up at the emperor's distant figure, scratched a trace of coldness at the corners of his mouth, and then stepped up to follow. When a group of ministers outside the house saw that the emperor and the prince had entered the house, they also followed.
At this time, the guests had almost arrived. Liu Hen ordered the waiter to continue to wait in front of the house, and he also stepped in and walked to the place where the banquet was located. The mansion of Taishi Mansion is more than half the size of Nalin Mansion, and the back garden alone occupies the size of two main rooms and courtyards.
The location of Liu Hen's birthday banquet this time is in the back garden. When Liu Hen arrived in the back garden, the ministers were all seated. At this moment, the emperor is sitting in the pavilion directly above, sitting on the right hand side of Prince Mo Shaotian, and the seats arranged according to the official rank.
The first position on the left hand side of the emperor is empty. The ministers sitting couldn't help wondering who the vacant seat was reserved for.
"Liu Aiqing, I think everyone is here. I'm afraid the banquet can start." Mo Cheng sat in his seat, squinted at the ministers sitting below, and secretly said in his heart that there were so many people encircled by Liu Hen. Although Liu Hen did not come on the stage to kill the enemy and make great contributions to the Mo Dynasty, he also made a lot of contributions to the court.
In addition, he has many followers in the court. If the emperor has no choice but his thoughts, he is really an incompetent monarch.
Liu Hen looked around but did not see the figure of the seventh prince, but his daughter. The emperor doesn't like the seventh prince. Naturally, Liu Hen will not be stupid enough to say that the seventh prince is still in the future, and the banquet cannot be held for the time being. Hearing this, Liu Hen just smiled modestly and patted his hands. In a moment, more than a dozen women in exposed clothes came forward.
The eternal program, whether it is a palace banquet or a banquet of dignitaries, the first program must be a song and dance performance. Hearing the pleasant sound of silk bamboo, the ten beautiful women waved their sleeves and danced.
While everyone was watching singing and dancing, Liu Hen came to Liu Shuihan and asked in a low voice, "Han'er, why didn't the seventh prince come with you?" Although the prince was so sure, Liu Hen was still a little uneasy. Although he doesn't know what plan the prince has planned later, if the seventh prince doesn't come, he will definitely lose his favor in front of the prince.
Liu Shuihan was surprised to see that his father came to ask the seventh prince in person. His father hated the seventh prince. Why did he come to ask in person today? However, I just thought about it. Seeing that my father seemed to be very anxious, Liu Shuihan hurriedly said, "Dad, there is no need to worry. The prince said that he would arrive later."
From his daughter, it was confirmed that the seventh prince would definitely come, and Liu Hen was a little relieved. Han'er, how does the seventh prince treat you well? In the end, he was still a little unfangned. Liu Shuihan was his heart. Although it was the order of the prince that she had to marry the seventh prince, if she was unhappy, wouldn't he, as a father, ruin his daughter's life?
He wondered whether his father had gradually faded his hatred for the prince. Liu Shuihan was happy. Although the prince did not treat her well, he said the opposite words, "Don't worry, the prince treats his daughter very well. Whatever his daughter likes, the prince will definitely find it for Han'er."
Liu Hen frowned and looked at Han'er's expression, as if to refine the credibility of her words. He and the seventh prince are enemies. The seventh prince can't wait to get rid of him. How can he be so good to Han'er? Han'er, are you serious? If the seventh prince is not good to you, tell your father as soon as possible. Dad is now deeply dependent on the prince. Today, even the emperor will come to his father's birthday in person. If he treats you well, his father will ask the queen for his life to restore your name as a young lady.
If Liu Hen really hurts his daughter, he can even say such words.
Liu Shuihan shook her head gently. Although she knew that her father loved her, marrying the seventh prince was her lifelong wish. Even if he didn't treat her well, she admitted it. Moreover, this day has just begun. Whether he will fall in love with her in the future is another matter!
"Dad, since his daughter has married him, his life is his death is his ghost. Besides, the prince treats his daughter very well. Gritting his teeth and saying something against his will, Liu Shuihan lowered his head and dared not look at his father's expression.
Seeing that Han'er had identified the seventh prince and seemed to care about him, a trace of abnormal expression flashed on Liu Hen's thin face. In this case, Dad won't say much. Dad also has to greet his colleagues. Take good care of yourself. After saying that, without waiting for Liu Shuihan to reply, Liu Hen has walked to other ministers.
After a song and dance, the ministers present have let go a lot. Although the emperor is still sitting in the first place, the ministers below have begun to gather together and laugh.
"The Seven Princes are arriving!" While everyone was eating, drinking and joking, the singing in front of the house shouted loudly, which made the laughing ministers stop their voices one after another. They looked at the entrance of the garden in surprise, and they were also speculating about the intention of the seven princes coming. The feud between Liu Taishi and the seventh prince was very clear in the hearts of the people present. At this moment, they are even more thinking, isn't there going to be a big deal today?
