Chapter 396 The Queen Mother is going to hold a birthday banquet
"If you don't die, look at it, this palace will never let you have a chance." Seeing that a figure in the dark night disappeared quickly, Murong Sichen said firmly.
After a period of apprehension, Murong Sichen judged that there would definitely be no one to move his cleverness tonight, so he returned to the room and fell asleep with Chai Qingyue in his arms.
Although Imperial Physician Li told him that it was best to sleep separately during this time, Murong Sichen felt that he could only feel at ease if he was by Chai Qingyue's side in person, besides, he didn't do anything, just hugged and slept together.
On the second day, early in the morning, a holy decree came from the palace.
"Recently, the Queen Mother is about to celebrate her birthday, and she specially invited the prince and the princess to go, which can be regarded as adding a little more joy to the Queen Mother." A hunched father-in-law whispered.
"Yes, Hongu will definitely go." Murong Sichen took the order.
The Queen Mother's birthday is something worth celebrating in anyone's eyes, especially some requests that cannot be made on weekdays, and it can be said that day, because the Queen Mother is in a good mood, she will agree to most of the requests.
And when the people of the dynasty, the most important thing is the word 'filial piety', as long as someone disobeys the queen mother, he will be spurned by the world, including the emperor is no exception, this birthday banquet, the emperor must also come to see, that day, the emperor has to accompany the queen mother.
"Sichen, you said that the Queen Mother has a birthday, what should we give?" At the beginning, Chai Qingyue began to worry about preparing congratulatory gifts, this kind of thing is really too difficult to handle, and valuable things lack heart. And the mind is not very grand.
The most important thing is that the Queen Mother's birthday, many people will carry a variety of rare treasures to congratulate, people will inevitably start to compare, it doesn't matter if you compare, it is not good to be compared, in this way, the person who is ready to continue has no face, and the person receiving the gift will feel that you do not pay enough attention to others.
"It's still up to Qingyue to prepare for this matter, you usually manage the big and small things in the house, and you know what rare treasures there are at home, and your husband is really inferior to you in this regard," Speaking of the issue of gift-giving, Murong Sichen also had a big head, he was really not good at preparing these things.
can only hand over the matter of preparing gifts to Chai Qingyue, Murong Sichen thinks that she is a daughter's family, her mind is delicate, and the things she prepares are naturally not bad, and it is easy to please the old lady.
"Okay, then I'll take care of it," Looking at Murong Sichen's helpless look, Chai Qingyue inexplicably felt that Murong Sichen was a little cute, and she couldn't bear to embarrass him anymore, whether the preparation was good or bad, it depended on the mood of the Queen Mother.
"Si Chen, since you were just about to let me leave, there was news that the Queen Mother was going to celebrate her birthday, it must be the will of God, and God is not willing to let us separate, so don't mention letting me leave in the future, okay?" Chai Qingyue took the opportunity to say.
"But—well, no more." Murong Sichen was about to say something, but was blocked by Chai Qingyue with her white and tender fingers, so he had to agree.
Chai Qingyue thought about it, and finally thought of a good birthday gift, that is, a portrait of Guanyin decorated by a famous painter at that time decorated with various treasures and gold.
There are also four big characters of Murong Sichen's handwriting 'Fushou Ankang' on it, and the whole painting is lifelike and amazing enough.
The gift for the Queen Mother's birthday was thus prepared, and Chai Qingyue asked the maid to carefully collect this word. I was going to take it out on the day I congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday.
Bai Chudie heard that Chai Qingyue had prepared the gift, she was very curious, and her heart was more jealous, she didn't believe that the crown princess could come up with any good ideas, or maybe she couldn't believe it, because Chai Qingyue has always been the person who can surprise people the most.
She is afraid of losing, afraid of being looked down upon, afraid of being said: "Look, it's no wonder that the prince doesn't look down on her, she just can't compare to the crown princess."
She absolutely can't let such a thing happen, Bai Chudie thought, the only way to prevent this from happening is to not let Chai Qingyue's gift have a chance to appear, or have the possibility of surpassing her gift.
Bai Chudie heard about the gift given by Chai Qingyue, and came to the prince's mansion bored.
"Crown princess, my sister is here to disturb me again, I don't know if my sister will mind." As soon as he entered the door, Bai Chudie sat down as if he had arrived at his own home, without the slightest stage fright, without even the consent of the owner.
"No, Chu Die just treats this as his home, and it's okay to be casual." Chai Qingyue actually hated this person to death in her heart, but there was no way, who made her the crown princess.
If Bai Chudie clearly confronted her but came well, it would not be that she, the crown princess, was unreasonable, if she drove Bai Chudie away now, she believed that within two days, the people would hear a cry: The crown princess has no ability to assist the prince at all, look how jealous she is.
Chai Qingyue considered this, so she had no choice but to go through the scene with Bai Chudie.
"Sister Xie, however, I heard that my sister has prepared a congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother, I don't know if my sister has the honor to see the flowers first." Bai Chudie said lightly, it seems that she is very proud, in this way, it seems that Chai Qingyue is not the master here at all, perhaps, this is also what Bai Chudie wants Chai Qingyue to feel.
"I'm really sorry, my sister heard it wrong, the palace is not ready yet, if my sister wants to see it, it's not too late to see it at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and the Queen Mother will only show respect when she sees it!" Chai Qingyue was not to be outdone, she had already suspected Bai Chudie's purpose for coming here, but now she can be sure.
"I see, then bother my sister. Let's watch it again at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet! "Watching Chai Qingyue move the Queen Mother out, this means that as long as I show it to you now, it is disrespectful to the Queen Mother, because the things that the Queen Mother didn't see were seen by others, and this person who saw it would also be suspicious of her thoughts. Bai Chudie had no choice but to give up.
"Sister Xie, understand." Chai Qingyue temporarily relaxed her vigilance.
It's just that just as she and Bai Chudie continued to chat, a maidservant girl suddenly ran in and shouted: There is a fire.
Chai Qingyue was startled, and immediately rushed out and ran towards the place where there was a lot of people, only to find that the kitchen was on fire, and the fire was not small. When they saw this, they rushed out and ran to the kitchen, carrying buckets of water from the well, trying to put out the fire.
Chai Qingyue realized at this moment how dangerous Murong Sichen said about their situation, it was not that he was exaggerating, it was true.
