The old lady's birthday was originally just a simple pass, Mu Huanyan told the old lady what he meant to Mu Yaotian, he said nothing and didn't agree, after all, it was the sixtieth birthday, he felt that it was good to do a big job, so he went to the old lady to explain his meaning in person.

The old lady couldn't resist Mu Yaotian's filial piety, so she nodded and agreed.

Time was pressing, Mu Huanyan rushed to handle the birthday banquet, and was busy until late every day. Fortunately, after the previous incident, the people in charge of the office felt that her status in the house was getting higher and higher, and they didn't dare to slack off anymore, and things went smoothly.

At the same time, Mu Huanyan transferred the Wang family to the management room to manage the supply and demand of the government's procurement, and she was not at ease if she changed others, on the other hand, she also wanted to install her own people there.

The Wang family disagreed at first, saying that she would stay by her side and take care of her, Mu Huanyan told the Wang family that if she wants to gain a foothold in the mansion, she must have her own henchmen everywhere, Luo Zhen Huiwu will stay in her body to protect, Siya is quite well-behaved, and it should not be a problem to be close to her. The most important thing is that the people in Lanyueju now basically don't know a few words, and they can't be qualified for that position, so after repeated persuasion, the Wang family agreed to go to the management room.

Of course, while being busy, Mu Huanyan did not forget to ask Luo Zhen to go to Qingping Qianzhuang to take out the 20,000 taels of silver that Chen Chong had deposited there.

After a few days of arrangement, the 10th day of the fourth month finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the door of Mu Mansion was already full of gift-givers coming and going, and Mu Yaotian was wearing a purple robe, full of glory, standing at the door to greet guests. Since Chan is recuperating. The wives of the second and third rooms, Fang and Zhang, also helped at the door.

Mu Haisheng, the second master of Mu Mansion, and Mu Haiyun, the third master of Mu Mansion, also rushed back from their foreign posts, and got off the carriage as soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, and picked up guests with Mu Yaotian for a week.

The whole mansion is extremely lively, Mu Yaotian is an important minister in the court, the mansion holds happy events, and the major officials in Beijing also come to pay tribute to their birthdays.

Cheng Yun's father, Cheng Xizong, is Shaoqing from Dali Temple in Sipin, and he also came with a birthday gift at this time, Cheng Yun followed behind Cheng Xizong and Mrs. Cheng, and after Cheng Xizong gave the gift, he said with a smile: "I wish General Mu's mother a better life than Nanshan." Blessings are like the East China Sea. ”

"Thank you. Lord Cheng, please come inside. ”

"General Mu, where is Huanyan?" Cheng Yun followed her parents to Mu Mansion just to find Mu Huanyan, but she didn't see her for several days. I miss it so much.

"She's in there. You should be able to see her when you go inside. ”

Cheng Yun smiled and said, "Thank you, General Mu." Then he followed Mrs. Cheng into the Mu Mansion. After entering the door, he looked for Mu Huanyan's figure everywhere.

At this time, Mu Huanyan helped the old lady to walk towards the main hall. The old lady was wearing a particularly festive dress, embroidered with the word "longevity" in various fonts, and her face was full of happy smiles.

Cheng Yun saw Mu Huanyan. said to Mrs. Cheng: "Mother, I'm going to find Mu Huanyan." ”

"Today, her grandmother's birthday is celebrated, and people must be very busy, so don't bother for now."

Thinking about it, Cheng Yun still held back, and sat down with Mrs. Cheng finding a place.

There are dozens of tables in the courtyard, which are basically full, and the stage in front of them is performing songs and dances, and the guests are eating fruits and drinking tea while enjoying the performances on the stage.

The sound of firecrackers welcoming guests outside is constant, and all kinds of noise make the whole house seem lively.

The emperor has arrived!

The people at the gate of Mu Mansion knelt on the ground one after another, and Mu Yaotian was extremely happy in his heart, the emperor was here, which had to add a lot of face to him.

The emperor got off the royal court, and everyone at the door shouted Long live the emperor, long live, long live. The third prince and the fifth prince who came with the emperor also dismounted and walked behind him.

"Let's all be flat."

Mu Yaotian immediately walked in front of the emperor and knelt on the ground, "The emperor personally came to the minister's house to congratulate the minister's mother on her birthday, and the minister was very excited. ”

"Aiqing, please hurry up, today is a big day, no one is guilty."

"Your Majesty, please inside." Mu Yaotian stood up and bowed his body to welcome the emperor into the palace.

The emperor's attendant Chen Gonggong handed over a long gift list to the person who wrote the gift list, and then the firecrackers sounded, and after the emperor entered the palace, all the people in the palace got up and saluted, and even the old lady rushed over to salute.

Mu Yaotian arranged for the emperor to sit in the front position, and he accompanied him.

Mu Huanyan immediately ordered someone to bring the best tea and fruits.

"You are Mu Huanyan who answered the three questions of the envoy of Xiangguo last time in the court?" The emperor stared at Mu Huanyan for a long time, and Mu Huanyan saluted him without humility or arrogance, "The courtiers are exactly." ”

The emperor nodded, and said with a smile: "The more you start, your words and deeds, generous and decent, you are really a talented and beautiful woman, the last time I saw you in the court, I was still a little thin." ”

This is the truth, she just came out of the South Courtyard, all aspects of nutrition are not enough, these days the conditions are good, slowly raised, although it is not called a round and jade, but also pure and moving, the whole person's temperament is completely different from before.

"Thank you for your praise."

Mu Yaotian became more and more happy in his heart.

"It's okay, you go get busy first."

Mu Huanyan saluted the emperor and slowly retreated.

Mu Jinge saw the emperor talking to Mu Huanyan with a smile from a distance, and her heart was very special, she had such a beautiful appearance, but she had always fallen behind Mu Huanyan, in order to show her face in front of the emperor, she ran to the kitchen and brought a plate of snacks to the emperor.

Mu Huanyan had already sent Luo Zhen to stare at Mu Jinge, just because she was worried that she would make waves at the banquet, Luo Zhen watched Mu Jinge's court get closer and closer, and in front of Ling Ran, he flicked a bead to her feet.

Mu Jinge stepped on the beads, her feet slipped, she screamed in fright, the snacks in her hand were scattered all over the ground, and when she was about to fall to the ground, she was seen by Ling Mo, and she didn't have time to think about it immediately, and immediately rushed up and hugged her steadily.

The emperor and Mu Yaotian twisted their heads when they heard the voice, and even the guests present saw it, and Mu Yaotian's brows were twisted together.

After Mu Jinge stood firm, he felt strange eyes coming from his surroundings, and quickly broke free from Ling Mo's embrace.

Luo Zhen raised her mouth and smiled, and in front of everyone's eyes, the two were still hugging each other, which was indescribable.

Mu Jinge looked at others with mockery in their eyes, felt very embarrassed, lowered his head, and left the scene in a gloomy manner.

"Ling Ran, come here." The emperor called.

Ling Ran immediately walked in front of the emperor.

"In front of everyone's eyes, you hugged that woman by yourself, where did all the etiquette and morality you learned go?" There was obviously a trace of displeasure on the emperor's face, the princes' marriage was his mistake, so many people have seen it at this time, if they are irresponsible, how do others think of the royal family? The point was that he didn't even know who the woman was.

"Father, the son saw that she was about to fall, so he went to help her."

"Your Majesty, don't blame the third prince, it's a minister's daughter who is out of manners."

"Your daughter?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

Mu Yaotian nodded, "It's Mu Jinge, the second daughter of the minister, who offended the emperor, and the minister will definitely punish her." ”

"Well, since it's Aiqing's daughter, it's easy to say, it's better to come to the door with double happiness and point her to the third prince."

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Mu Yaotian immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

This kind of grace makes others seem very envious, the emperor came to Mufu to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and pointed out Mu Yaotian's daughter to the prince, then she will be the princess in the future, and this Mu Yaotian can be regarded as being on the side of the emperor's relatives.

Ling Mo originally wanted to marry Mu Jinge, Mu Yaotian is very good at protecting himself, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to him, but he politely declined, at this time, by chance, his father personally proposed the marriage, and the matter was done, but Ling Mo was not as happy as he originally expected, and even Mu Huanyan's deep eyes suddenly flashed in his mind.

Luo Zhen heard these words clearly, thinking that Mu Huanyan must be preparing another meal for the emperor in the kitchen at this time, so she hurriedly ran to the kitchen and told her what she said.

"Eldest Miss, the maid just wanted to make the second lady make a fool, but I didn't expect it to contribute to a good thing, and the emperor actually gave her a marriage to the third prince." Luo Zhen hung her head, for fear that Mu Huanyan would blame her.

"Give it, give it, it's no big deal, you should do something or do something."

Luo Zhen was a little strange, why didn't the eldest lady care at all, Mu Huanyan gave marriage to the third prince, this is a high marriage. The second lady is against the eldest lady everywhere, and the eldest lady shouldn't want her to marry. It seems that he thinks of the eldest lady too little, the eldest lady is a broad-minded person, and Luo Zhen finally feels that she has figured it out.

"The eldest lady is really a person who does big things, and her belly is comparable to that of the prime minister."

"You want to say that my prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, right?"

Luo Zhen nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "That's what it means." ”

"Alright, go get busy with you." Mu Huanyan smiled secretly, how could this girl know her thoughts? How could the grievances between her and Mu Jinge end so lightly?

The people of the Chen family have already arrived at the door at this time, Mrs. Chen came over in person, and when they arrived at the door, they were greeted by the people from the second and third rooms, and Mrs. Chen was even more annoyed in her heart, this Mu Yaotian treated her daughter harshly, not to mention, she didn't even welcome her mother-in-law?

"Old Madam Chen, please come inside." Mu Haiyun made a gesture of please.

"What about Mu Yaotian? When his mother-in-law came, she didn't come out to greet her. Chen's elder brother Chen Liang squinted his eyes, and his tone was very bad.

Mu Haiyun felt uncomfortable when he heard it, what kind of thing is he, is he here to pay homage to Shou or to find a ballast person.

Old Madam Chen also held her head high, and she didn't look at Mu Haiyun.

Mu Haiyun felt that there was no need to give them such a good face, so he turned around directly and said, "My eldest brother is accompanying the emperor inside, where is there time to greet you little people." ”

Mrs. Chen was shocked, she didn't expect the emperor to come to the scene in person, and secretly rejoiced that she didn't make a fuss at the door, otherwise she would have lost her face. (To be continued......)
