Chapter 45 Birthday Eve 2

"Today's birthday of the Queen Mother, the lord and the lady are going to take the young lady into the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, get up and dress up quickly, Mrs. ordered." After speaking, Liu Chunyan heard the footsteps of the subordinates leaving in a hurry.

Liu Chunyan tossed and turned on the bed and really didn't want to get up, after all, she played with Lu Siguan in the back mountain of the imperial city last night until the second half of the night, and she slept for less than two hours.

In late autumn, the capital is already a little cool, and the quilt in the early morning is really comfortable for Liu Chunyan.

"What does this Queen Mother's birthday have to do with me, haven't I been getting in the way of your eyes, why do you want to take me today?" Liu Chunyan began to wonder in her heart.

In the past, Lu Guozheng always asked Liu Chunyan to avoid such large-scale activities, after all, this Liu Chunyan was related to his past that was not humane.

Whenever Liu Chunyan appeared in front of people, Lu Guozheng Meimei thought that she was talking to people about her background and past......

"What kind of wind is this Lu Guo smoking, but it's good to meet this big scene." Thinking of avenging the Liu family, Liu Chunyan decided to go to see and participate in the Queen Mother's birthday.

If she was in Liu's house in the past, she wouldn't have gone to such a scene, and she was very happy every day with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

After hesitating for a moment in the bed, she got up and rummaged through the cabinets to find two clothes that looked good.

Usually Liu Chunyan is in Lu Mansion, although she is the eldest lady, but the treatment she receives is not much different from that of her subordinates, and she doesn't even have a decent dress.

This Liu Chunyan was originally beautiful, but after she dressed up seriously, she looked a little different, and she was not inferior to Du Yuyan in temperament.

"Miss, hurry up, Madam is going to the palace to greet the old lady, if it's too late, it will be rude." The housekeeper ran to the door of Liu Chunyan's room and shouted.

The real start time of the Queen Mother's birthday should also be at noon, and she went to the palace early in the morning to wait, and it was enough to toss.

Liu Chunyan pushed open the door, and the housekeeper outside the door was instantly dumbfounded when he saw Liu Chunyan.

The housekeeper rubbed his eyes, feeling like he had seen it wrong, the usual Liu Chunyan was dressed like the people in the family, but today she should be dressed up, like a big lady.

"What's the matter, what are you doing standing, but leading the way." Liu Chunyan looked at the housekeeper who was standing stiffly on the side and said.

The butler laughed stiffly twice, and then led the way in front with small steps.

All the way to the gate of the Lu Mansion, a group of subordinates were already waiting in front of the door, Liu Chunyan probably glanced at it, there are indeed a lot of formations today, and the two carriages are full of gifts alone.

"These corrupt and perverted gains, you really dare to send them to the palace!" While talking, he got into the carriage, unlike when he went to the outskirts of the city to pray for blessings before, today Liu Chunyan got into a carriage alone.

The birthday of the Queen Mother, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will go to celebrate her birthday, neighboring countries, friends will naturally be present, the capital will be a gathering of celebrities, Liu Chunyan is Miss Lu, and she naturally can't lose her identity in front of outsiders.

……

Du Yuyan stayed awake all night and returned to the Qin Mansion early in the morning, and Qin Muyu was also packing up her gifts and preparing to go to the court to greet the Queen Mother.

The door was pushed open, and at this time, a woman was lying on Qin Muyu's bed, and Qin Muyu was packing up the clothes on the side.

"Who are you?" Seeing that the door of the room was pushed open, the woman on the bed instantly wrapped her body in the quilt, and looked at Du Yuyan who entered the door and shouted loudly.

Qin Muyu looked at Du Yuyan in response, glanced at her indifferently, and then continued to pack up his clothes.

Du Yuyan looked at the woman on the bed, and she knew at a glance that the woman was Qin Muyu who had come back from the fireworks area to spend the night.

Since she was ridiculed by Qin Muyu in Qin Mansion last time, Du Yuyan moved back to Du Mansion, just let the maids around her watch Qin Muyu's every move and then go to Du Mansion to report to her.

Du Yuyan has not been in the Qin Mansion these days, and Qin Muyu will basically come back late outside every night, and will bring different women home for the night.

Du Yuyan was extremely disappointed in Qin Muyu, plus she had never loved Qin Muyu deeply, so she only smiled faintly at his approach.

"Today I will enter the palace with you." Du Yuyan said coldly.

After Qin Muyu heard this, his first reaction was to refuse, "What are you going to do, this Lord Du is still in prison, it is not appropriate for you to appear on such an occasion." ”

"Hasn't the emperor pardoned the Du family, even if my father is imprisoned, it can't erase the Du family's merits to the Celestial Empire." Du Yuyan said sharply, "I have to go this time." ”

"What are you going to do, let everyone see your jokes, let everyone see my Qin Muyu jokes?"

"Why, now that I've become everyone's joke, don't forget, my aunt is still a concubine, and she raised a prince for the emperor." Du Yuyan moved out of Du Guifei, which seemed to be the only bargaining chip that the Du family could use, although Du Guifei was not very willing to pay attention to the Du family's affairs.

Qin Muyu was a little hesitant, feeling that what Du Yuyan said made some sense, the Du family is still a famous family, even if this old Taishan falls, there are still Lu Guozheng and Song Jingchen, as well as Du Guifei.

"No matter how foolish you are outside, I can care about what happens in the Qin Mansion, but I have to go today." Du Yuyan said very firmly.

"You get out." Qin Muyu looked at the woman on the bed and said loudly.

Seeing that Qin Muyu was a little angry, the woman hurriedly hugged her clothes and went out of the room, but she was still naked.

"Okay, you are still Mrs. Qin after all, I will take you with me today, but you don't want to make any trouble for me, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." Qin Muyu pointed to Du Yuyan's nose and said.

"The Queen Mother's birthday, there can be no bad time, and there are many foreign guests coming to Beijing, don't do anything radical because of Lord Du's affairs." Qin Muyu still explained the reason why he was reluctant to bring Du Yuyan into the palace.

If Du Yuyan could enter the palace to participate in the queen mother's birthday, she would not come to Qin Muyu, but after the Du family changed, the emperor had ordered that the Du family should not enter and leave the palace at will.

If she entered the palace in the name of Mrs. Qin to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, the palace guards would definitely not dare to stop her.

Hearing Qin Muyu's warning, Du Yuyan only nodded slightly, but the killing intent in her eyes seemed to betray her.

How could the plan for Liu Chunyan be so easily abandoned, and just yesterday, on the busiest street in the capital, in front of everyone, Liu Chunyan humiliated herself so much.

Seeing that Qin Muyu agreed, Du Yuyan turned around and walked out of the room, and went to wait in the carriage in front of the Qin Mansion alone.

Du Yuyan didn't say a word in the carriage, and looked at everything outside the window with cold eyes...... took out the medicine bottle that Mrs. Lu gave her before, held it tightly in her hand, gritted her teeth and swore secretly in her heart.

……

The Khitan prince also woke up early in the post station, and today is the ultimate goal of his coming to the Heavenly Dynasty - the birthday of the Queen Mother.

He wanted to take advantage of the guests from all over the world to come to the court, and wanted to give the Celestial Empire a disgrace in public on such an occasion.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, everyone is already ready, just waiting for your order." Whisper to him.

The Khitan prince motioned to his entourage to stop, then looked around the environment, and said, "At this time, it is top secret, don't say much about the people coming and going in this post station, and write such important things on the bamboo slips in the future to show me." ”

After nodding and retreating, the Khitan prince pulled out the scimitar at his waist, looked at the blade that flashed with cold light, and his eyes swept over the decision to enter the Central Plains.

The Khitan prince walked out of the post station, and his entourage had already led the horses to the post station, stepped on horseback and walked in the direction of the imperial city.

……

Lu Siguan knew that the day of the Queen Mother's birthday would not be a peaceful day, so he arranged a large number of martial arts masters to lurk in the court.

Because most of the palace guards are in charge of the nine thousand years old, Lu Siguan has never believed in this group of people, if it weren't for Lu Siguan secretly arranging people to protect the emperor over the years, the emperor may have been poisoned by the nine thousand years old.

He arranged for people to keep an eye on all the main entrances and exits of the palace, so that he could clearly know the nine thousand years old and the slightest change in the imperial city.

……

At this time, outside the gate of Jingshi, there was a person calling the guards to open the door, and this person was Song Jingchen.

All the way was fast, and finally arrived in the capital on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday.

The guard guarding the gate saw that it was Song Jingchen, and opened the city gate in great panic, Song Jingchen just looked at the guard at the gate and sneered and left.

This time he rushed back to the capital and brought back a big gift to the emperor and the queen mother, as for his teacher Lord Du being imprisoned, Song Jingchen had already heard of it, but he didn't believe it very much.

Song Jingchen has been a master and apprentice with Master Du for many years, and he knows that Master Du is a person, although he feels unwilling for the teacher, but he has no intention of interceding for Lord Du.

This time back to Beijing, Song Jingchen can be said to be a huge hero of the Celestial Empire, if he personally pleaded with Lord Du, then Lord Du still has a glimmer of life.

It's just that this Song Jingchen also regards officials as his life, and what he thinks about is the position of his teacher, once prime minister.

……

In addition to these people, there are also several vassal kings who have already come to Beijing, as well as the circus troupe they brought for the birthday of the Queen Mother.

People from all walks of life gathered in Beijing, although they were all the birthday of the Queen Mother, but they all had their own ulterior secrets.

Nine thousand years old, a person who is almost about to concentrate the power of the dynasty in his own hands, naturally will not miss such a good show, and often this time is a good time to eradicate dissidents.

Today's morning in Beijing seems to be a little different from the past, as soon as the sky is slightly bright, the streets are full of people coming and going, and suddenly there are many unfamiliar faces.

Liu Chunyan followed Mrs. Lu to the Queen Mother's bedroom early, and at this time, a large number of people were already waiting in front of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

At first glance, they were all dressed as noble ladies in the capital, and Liu Chunyan guessed correctly, these were the wives and family members of the major officials above the third grade in the capital.

"Du Guifei has arrived!" The eunuch shouted at the gate of the courtyard not far away, Mrs. Lu heard the sound and quickly ran over with small steps, Liu Chunyan looked at Mrs. Lu's annoying face with disdain, and followed casually.
