Liuchuan Feng, who was busy with affairs, did not enter the palace in advance, he still had to arrange the protection of the palace and the entire imperial city these days, he knew that those assassins had probably already mixed in, and they were just waiting for an opportunity, a suitable assassination opportunity!

He also knew that if he blindly defended, he might not be able to prevent it, after all, they were not ordinary assassins, and it was still possible to sneak into the palace, so he simply deliberately relaxed some guards and let them in by themselves, and when the time came, he set up a few more traps such as illusions to let them fall into the net!

What's more, it's not too far for him to enter the palace, and tomorrow is also in time, and now his people are almost all arranged, and the three generals have also been arranged by him in some special places, and everything is going on perfectly, just waiting for tomorrow's birthday banquet.

There was nothing to do all night, and he rarely had a good night's sleep, although the time was only less than three hours, but his heart was stable, and his dreams came naturally.

The sky was slightly bright, he got up, which was also his habit for many years, and after a simple wash, and a bowl of white porridge at home, he was ready to ride into the palace, after all, the ceremony was about to begin.

"Be careful on the road, if you have enough time, I'll pass later." Rukawa Yuanyang admonished.

"Got it."

Before he finished speaking, Rukawa Kaede rode his new mount, "Lu", and galloped towards the door, and the horse's iron hooves flew and disappeared from their sight in a few breaths.

"This kid, why is he still so impatient, not stable at all, it's really worrying." Rukawa Yuanyang scolded lightly.

"Master, when you were young, you were much more impatient and reckless than Gongzi, although he was impatient, but he was still very old and stable when something happened, otherwise two days ago in the court, in the face of the reproaches of the ministers, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to deal with it."

Ah Fu smiled, his relief was beyond words, he had no children, but in his heart, Rukawa Kaede was just like his own child, after all, he was the child he grew up watching, and he was still the only child.

"Yes, he is much better than me, but unfortunately, the more this is the case, the more worried I am, you see that he has only returned to the capital for less than half a year, and he has almost offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and he has almost been killed several times, he is really a guy who doesn't know how to keep a low profile." Rukawa Yuanyang said worriedly.

"This is also because he is right, and most people are wrong, so most people naturally have to deal with him, and besides, he is too good, which leads to the jealousy and jealousy of some other princes, I am afraid that they will not sit back and watch him continue to be strong like this."

"Therefore, we have to escort him, take on some things that he can't afford behind his back, and even, clear the obstacles to his superiority!"

"The prince is right."

"Let's go, let's go into the palace to have a look, after all, I haven't visited the old lady for a while." Rukawa Yuanyang said.

"The scale of this birthday banquet is huge, it seems that there will be some changes, it is better for us to bring a few more guards." Ah Fu reminded.

"It's okay, you can arrange it."

——

Rukawa Mingyue, a middle-aged man dressed as an elegant scribe, is also tall and big, which is one of the characteristics of the Rukawa family, but Rukawa Kaede may be gifted and taller.

He was also in the harem at this time, but there was only one person beside him, that is, Liuchuan Xinghe.

The two brothers were drinking tea in a very hidden room and talking about something.

"This time to make such a big move, it will cost a lot of silver taels."

"Silver is a trivial matter, the Queen Mother's 60th birthday is only once, of course, it must be done in a more atmospheric way, so that the people can see our strong and prosperous demeanor, and let the surrounding neighbors see our great power demeanor."

Liuchuan Xinghe, who had a happy face, replied nonchalantly, he was still quite proud of this, thinking that he was a good emperor and a good son. And although the elder brother on the side didn't agree with this sentence very much, he didn't say anything, after all, everything was done, and it was useless to say anything, not to mention that the Queen Mother was happy, which was not a bad thing.

"What kind of activities have you prepared this time for the children to perform and make the old people happy?"

"You haven't figured out the details yet, what do you have in mind?"

After thinking about it, Rukawa Mingyue replied: "It's better to let them test the six arts of the gentleman (etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, six skills), and see how their current literary and martial arts and moral cultivation are over the years." ”

"Yes, it's good, after all, in this world, it will always be handed over to young people in the future, so take this opportunity to try their abilities."

Liuchuan Xinghe replied with some sadness, he has no children, over the years, although he has heard some rumors, but they are all rumors, and finally think that he is infertile, this topic has also become a taboo in the court and the harem, but he himself does not let others say, but he also knows in his heart that people will always die of old age, if he really waits for that day, what will he do? After thinking about it, he still can't give it to others, although his nephews are not sons, they are almost the same, so he will mention these words intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, there is also the matter of the remnants of the previous dynasty, I'm afraid that Ah Feng has found out something, plus the fifth child's temperament, I'm afraid he also told him something, if he asks, how can we answer?"

"Then you can ask him to ask me, and I'll tell him why."

"Alas, among the sons of the world, there are only a few of them who are outstanding, and Ah Feng is the best among them, I hope he will not listen to slander and go the wrong way." Rukawa Mingyue said lightly.

"Anyway, there have been a lot of assassinations recently, what do you think of the situation this time, will there be assassins mixed in?" Liuchuan Xinghe changed the topic, stopped talking about those, and talked about safety, it seems that he is not so mediocre.

"Even if there is, it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, our fierce brocade guards and janissaries are not vegetarians, and there are many excellent masters who are always hiding in this vicinity, I believe they can let the assassins come and go and keep us safe."

"Yes, it's time for these damn underground rats to see the light of day!"

"It's going to be over, why hasn't the fifth child arrived yet, let us wait for him every time, and play a big name!" Rukawa Mingyue complained.

"Haha, I've heard it all the way from afar, as if someone was saying bad things about me."

Rukawa Yuanyang strode in and greeted the two brothers with a smile.

"You guy, can't you be on time? Now it's almost fourth, but unfortunately he is far away in Jiangnan and can't catch up, so we won't wait for him. Rukawa Xinghe said.

"Alas, Ah Yan's misfortune, it is estimated that he is not in the mood to come." Rukawa Mingyue replied.

——

The Summer Palace was very lively, the eunuchs and palace maids couldn't stop receiving gifts, and the ministers basically prepared generous gifts and came to congratulate them one by one.

After sending the ministers away politely, a group of princes and county lords came over, and they also began their own birthday visits.

Looking at these twenty or so descendants, the Queen Mother was still very happy in her heart, she sat on the soft chair and looked at this young man and girl with a smile on her face, among which there were many children of a few years old, but they were all her own juniors.

"I wish the Queen Mother's grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan, this is my gift to you."

As the eldest son, Liuchuan Yun was the first to go up to pay homage to his birthday, and his gift was a thousand-year-old ginseng, which was a great tonic that he spent a lot of effort to get, and it is said to have great benefits for the body, and even prolong life.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyun has a heart, this ginseng is good at everything, but it's a little too valuable, I'm worried that I'll waste it, it's better for you to keep it, and give it to people in need when you use it in the future."

"What did Grandma say, how could you waste it? You can take it with confidence, this is what I asked someone to dig in the deep mountains of Nanling, the medicinal value is very high, and it is of great use to your old man. ”

"Okay, then I'll accept it, and I'm not allowed to give such a big gift in the future, after all, the country is in a famine, and we can't be so extravagant." The Queen Mother lectured.

"Yes, my grandson knows." Liuchuanyun was very respectful and approved on the surface, but she was very proud in her heart, after all, the gift she gave her hometown was full of praise, thinking that it was her advantage.

Then, Liuchuan Xue gave the night pearl that she bought directly for a lot of silver to the queen mother, but she received a criticism from the old man, saying that she didn't know the hardships and cleaned up these fancy luxuries...... This made her very dissatisfied, but she didn't go wild, after all, this is not at home.

And the gifts given by the rest of the princes are also valuable, and they are probably not the most satisfactory to the Queen Mother.

Rukawa Yu sent a walking stick, according to him, it was made of top-quality mahogany by a master-level carpenter, which made the old man praise him a lot, saying that he was very attentive and very good at living......

This made him proud in his heart, and he looked at Liuchuanyun defiantly, but the other party didn't seem to see it, which made him a little angry in his heart.

And Liuchuan Miao really sent a snack that he usually eats, a green onion cake, he said that he made it himself, which made the people laugh at him, of course, this is just an activity in the heart, but the old man was full of praise for this cake, and he didn't praise him for his ingenuity, simplicity and frugality, being a real person, etc., which made everyone a little dissatisfied, thinking that she was too partial.

Rukawa Kaede came relatively late, so he finally gave his gift, which was a pair of reading glasses, he specially ordered someone to do it, the principle was of course what the master had told him, so I won't go into details.

The old man hung this strange thing on his ears, looked through two pieces of glass, and found that she had regained her light! You can clearly see them in front of you!

This change made her cry with joy, and she praised the magic of these glasses, and of course there were not a few praises for Rukawa Kaede.

This made everyone be jealous and focused on him, but he didn't mind at all, and smiled gently at everyone, this glasses thing, he was preparing when he entered the palace for the first time after returning to Beijing, he roughly tested the details of the old man's eyes, but it is too difficult to make glasses in this world, and it is even more difficult to adjust the number, but the excellent craftsmanship of the craftsmen and the accurate data left by the master have all the glasses with such a high fit today.

In the end, the process of the princes was over, and it was the turn of the concubines in the harem to salute.

When Rukawa Kaede walked out of the door, he saw Eve, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak, because she had been pulled closer to the main hall by the queen.
