Chapter Twenty-Three: The Birthday Party
When Yang Mubai woke up, Pei Shengyuan hugged her and stared at her. Yang Mubai looked at the bright sky outside, and said in shock: "Pei Shengyuan, aren't you going to the court?" β
Pei Shengyuan kissed Yang Mubai's face and said: "Mu Mu is too charming, I haven't heard of it, the spring night is bitter and short, and the king will not be early from now on." β
Yang Mubai hurriedly pushed him and said, "Then what's the matter, hurry up and go to the court." Are you going to be a faint king? β
Pei Shengyuan didn't dare to tease her, and said, "Mu Mu, I'm going down." Mu Mu is ready for lunch. After speaking, he scratched her nose and said, "Rely on me, Mu Mu is tired." Yang Mubai stretched out his hands and feet, feeling powerless, and his hands and feet were weak and weak. Gave him a blank look: "Don't I blame you?" It's the same as if you haven't done it, tossing to death. β
Pei Shengyuan helped her up and said in a loud voice: "It's my fault, it's my fault, I'll pay attention tonight." β
Yang Mubai said firmly: "Not tonight." You came to my dormitory for this? Pei Shengyuan hurriedly denied: "Absolutely not, Mu Mu is tired, you don't want it." β
In the past few nights, Pei Shengyuan only slept with Yang Mubai.
Since Zhang Shuo had a reason to ask Qiuyue to go out, he came to find Qiuyue every day. The reasons vary from day to day.
Day 1: What kind of music does the queen mother like, she has to go to the opera troupe to pick up tunes.
Day 2: Prepare recipes with the chef for what the queen likes to eat.
Day 3: What flowers does the queen like, she has to go shopping for floral ornaments.
Day 4: Arrange the seats and get the Tianfu Building to arrange them.
Finally on the day of the birthday banquet, Zhang Shuo came to pick up Qiuyue in advance and said, "We have to go to Tianfu Tower first and prepare in advance." Food, guests, and furnishings should be confirmed first. β
wanted to surprise Yang Mubai, so the preparations were all carried out in secret. Qiu Yue was in the Yang Mansion and had never done any of these things. was dragged by Zhang Shuo to do it, and handled every incident by himself, he was busy late every day, and he got up early in the morning, and he hadn't seen Yang Cheng for several days.
On this day, Pei Shengyuan went down to the back, but said to Yang Mubai: "I'll take you out of the palace to play today." Where do you want to go? β
Yang Mubai was very surprised and said, "Really? I'm not familiar with the capital, so let's just take a walk. β
Then Pei Shengyuan took her to the private room of Tianfu Building.
Yang Mubai's identity, everyone knows, when they see them, they all kneel, Wang Jun asked everyone to be exempt, and then everyone sat down.
The children said, "Is this the guest who came to our village two years ago to deliver money?" How does it look different. β
Everyone laughed, and the child's mother whispered to the child why.
Yang Mubai was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect to see them. Talk to them and ask them how the harvest has been in the past few years and how everyone is doing.
Everyone told the truth that the harvest was very good, and there were no natural or man-made disasters, and everyone's life was getting more and more prosperous. There is a child in the village who is very good at painting, and after two years of seventeen years old, he can go to the palace to be a painter, and he is the pride of the whole village.
The young man came to see them, and he was a very handsome young man, with bright eyes. Yang Mubai knew in his heart that Pei Shengyuan was currying favor with her. She said that she hoped that the country and the people would be safe, so he invited the people of the poor villages she had traveled to and let her see that he was trying to be a good emperor.
Xu Lang also came, he took leave for the first half of the month, to redeem Peony. After the last time he saw the peony, he never forgot it, and after returning to Beijing, when Pei Shengyuan had no major things to deliver, he took leave to go to Suzhou.
When I saw the peony, I explained the intention, and the peony refused at first. The woman in the Qinglou was used to seeing this kind of enthusiasm, and turned her head into an empty thing. They crave love too much, but they are often fooled.
Xu Lang is a straight person, and he can't understand Peony's euphemistic refusal. After a few days of entanglement, he must give the peony, and said that he would marry the peony as his wife. also explained the situation at home, and Peony finally told the truth.
Xu Lang said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I can't bear you." If you are afraid that I will take you wrong, I will give you all my possessions. If I betray you, you sweep me away, do you believe it? β
Peony thought about it, and on her terms, it was really not easy to meet someone like Xu Lang, so she agreed. Rose was very happy for her, and that night she gave her most valuable jade pendant to Peony, congratulating Peony on getting out of the sea of suffering.
Peony was moved by such a sister, thought of the capital, and asked Xu Lang, "Can you help Rose to redeem herself together?" In this way, when she arrived in the capital, she also had a companion. β
Xu Lang thought that this was fine, so he redeemed the roses together and became the personal maid of the peony.
Rose is very grateful, silently begging God in her heart to bless the peony well, and the future will be safe and smooth.
When they came to the capital, Xu Lang still had ten days of vacation, so he prepared for the marriage and took the two of them around the capital.
Yang Mubai was very happy to see roses and peonies, but on this occasion, he was still a little embarrassed. Pei Shengyuan wanted to knock Xu Lang's head open to see what kind of waste was inside.
Xu Lang said generously: "This is Fontaine, my fiancΓ©e, we will get married on the eighth day of the first month of next month." This is Fang Mei, my sister-in-law. β
Xu Lang's words, everyone was shocked, Zhang Shuo stood up and said, "Congratulations to Lord Xu, you have married a good wife." "Others began to heed. Peony was a little embarrassed on her face.
Imperial Physician Ye also came, and came over to greet Yang Mubai: "The queen mother has been healthy recently?" β
Yang Mubai replied: "Everything is fine, special thanks to Imperial Doctor Ye for his help." β
Doctor Ye hurriedly said: "As a doctor, Wei Chenman is very grateful for the grace of the queen's mother. β
Pei Shengyuan looked at them and greeted them, feeling very uncomfortable. If it wasn't for Imperial Doctor Ye's help, Yang Mubai might end up being a wasted queen. Then their relationship may never be repaired.
Yang Mubai can pretend to be sick for half a year, he is unconscious, if Yang Mubai does not fake his death and leave the palace. Until he is deposed, he may continue to pretend to be sick for the rest of his life, and he will never have her again. It is also possible to fake his death again, and the plan will be more meticulous, so that he will not be able to find her until he dies. Thinking of this possibility, he was very scared in his heart, but he was also very glad that the current result should be the best arrangement from God. There is estrangement, and there is also time to repair their relationship. Everything is almost back to its original ideal state.
Yang Mubai greeted everyone and sat down on the seat. In Pei Shengyuan's ear, he said, "Thank you, I'm very happy." β
Yang Mubai sat Qiu Yue on the other side, and Zhang Shuo and Yang Cheng next to Qiu Yue grabbed a seat. Pei Shengyuan coughed and motioned for them to pay attention to the impact. Yang Cheng said to Yang Mubai: "Miss, our Yang family guards are all sitting together. Commander Zhang wants to grab my seat, I don't know what his intentions are. β
Zhang Shuo said: "I'm not trying to grab your seat. In the past few days, Miss Qiuyue and I have been preparing for the banquet, and we are sitting together to discuss the aftermath of the banquet. "What Zhang Shuo means is that I have worked so hard to hold this banquet, I have to give some credit, right?
Yang Cheng snorted lightly and said, "My seat is mine, you can't take it." β
Yang Mubai was a little difficult, she could see that Qiuyue liked Yang Cheng, Zhang Shuo liked Qiuyue, and Yang Cheng seemed to like Qiuyue now. In her heart, she must be more inclined to Yang Cheng, after all, she has been with her for so long, and she also knows the roots. She doesn't know Zhang Shuo either, but he is Pei Shengyuan's right-hand man, and he is also his face, so it is not good to dismiss it directly.
Seeing that Yang Mubai was embarrassed, Pei Shengyuan waved his hand, and Zhang Shuo obediently sat on the other side, not daring to grab a seat with Yang Cheng. He also said: "Since Yang Gongzi insists on sitting here, then sit in another seat, but the relevant arrangements need to be discussed separately after the banquet." β
Yang Cheng said to Yang Mubai: "Queen Mother, I will take care of the aftermath of the banquet in Qiuyue." These days have also been hard in the autumn moon, and when the banquet is over, let her accompany the queen back to the palace to rest. β
Qiu Yue listened to it and was very moved. At least, Yang Cheng began to think about her.
During the meal, Pei Shengyuan and Yang Mubai served each other's dishes, which was natural and sweet. Everyone was stunned again, and the Son of Heaven gave the queen a dish? It's the first time I've seen it.
Peony and Xu Lang also spread vegetables to each other.
Yang Cheng and Zhang Shuo rushed to give Qiuyue a dish. Qiuyue pushed away Zhang Shuobu's dishes and only ate Yang Chengbu's dishes.
This meal, many people eat happily, there are a few exceptions.
