Chapter 14: The Birthday Banquet
"Besides, your old father and I have many colleagues, and it is inevitable to invite them to your birthday banquet when you set up a banquet." When he heard his father's serious words, his heart warmed up, so he had to respond.
However, she asked Bai Limo not to invite the royal family and Chu Ye, and Bai Limo agreed.
Chu Ye was handling confidential matters in the study, and heard the whispers of his students: "Have you received an invitation from the General's Mansion?" Miss Baili will have a few days of birthday, and for this reason, General Baili has a banquet for his baby daughter, and many colleagues have received invitations. ”
"I got it yesterday."
Chu Ye thought that he hadn't received an invitation to the banquet recently, could it be that Baili Mo had forgotten to invite him? Now he couldn't help but be a little angry, so he said to the two who were still whispering: "You two have nothing to do, so clean up the study." ”
The tone was cold, cooling the hearts of the two people who were still hot just now, and then threw away their sleeves.
For several days in a row, Chu Ye asked his subordinates to check if anyone had sent invitations to the mansion recently, and the subordinates replied that they had never seen it. For he did not believe, he told them to pay more attention these days.
Thinking that after a while it will be the birthday of the moon, this time he wants to personally send the gift to the moon, thinking about the birthday gift to be a good choice, she was unmoved by the expensive gifts before, I don't know what she likes to do in the moon.
Chu Ye felt that it was better to ask others if he wanted to, and adopted the suggestions of many people, he put down the matter in his hand and prepared to summon all the attendants in the mansion to gather in the front hall.
Thinking about it instead, he summoned the guards to take the advice in order to pursue the woman, and if this matter got out, wouldn't he be discredited? Cannot.
So he called a servant girl at hand, whispered close to her with his ear, "This king asks you, what kind of things women like and can't put down." ”
Originally, Chu Ye was handsome, and the maid looked at Chu Ye and her ear, and her heart was moved, thinking that Chu Ye was interested in her and planned to visit her, her face was blushing, and she said with her fingers: "As long as it is given by the prince of Chu Ye, the slaves and maids like it." ”
Chu Ye knew that the servant girl would be wrong, so he asked her to retreat, but the servant girl didn't know why, so she still obeyed the order and retreated.
Seeing that the daylight in front of him was approaching noon, Chu Ye was about to go to the palace to greet the emperor, and when he met Situ Yue on the way, Chu Ye blessed her, saluted, and turned around to leave.
But he was stopped by Situ Yue: "Chu Ye, but I ask the emperor for peace, and the palace is about to go, so it's better to go with you." ”
Situ Yue elegantly raised her jade hand and let the grandmother beside her help her hand to move forward, followed by more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, this formation was comparable to that of a queen.
Chu Ye was not annoyed, and followed behind him with a warm smile.
When I arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the emperor was having dinner, and when he saw the two of them coming, he smiled comfortably, "I haven't seen you two come to see me together for a long time, Liulin, quickly ask someone to prepare two pairs of chopsticks, come to Aifei, Ye'er, sit down, and accompany me to eat." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine came to ask for peace today, I met Prince Chu Ye on the road, and I saw him with a worried face, didn't something happen, even if there was something, you should pay attention to your body, the concubine personally stewed bird's nest pear porridge for the emperor to taste, and Prince Chu Ye also came to try it?"
Situ Yue pretended to be pure and worried, worried about Chu Ye's appearance, the emperor was very pleased to hear it, Chu Ye did not debunk it, intrigue in the harem, deceit, with Situ Yue's methods, and she couldn't be hard-hitting, with her behavior of not taking people in her eyes, one day she would be removed as a thorn in the eye.
"Thank you Niangniang, Chu Ye entered the palace to visit his father, if there is nothing to do, the son will retire first." The emperor originally wanted to stay with Chu Ye for lunch, but he had already made up his mind, so it was difficult to force him to stay.
Out of the palace gate, I met Xiao Liulin coming back from outside the palace, and after thinking about it, Xiao Liulin was an old man in the palace, and he was well-informed, so he stepped forward to ask for advice: "Manager Xiao, there is something Chu Ye wants to ask Manager Xiao for advice." ”
Xiao Liulin thought that Chu Ye was also a very smart person, but he couldn't help but be interested in asking him for advice if he had questions.
"Prince Chu Ye, please ask."
"Mr. Xiao is well-informed, I don't know how to choose a girl's birthday gift?"
This question really stumped Manager Xiao: "Prince Chu Ye really looks up to our family so much, our family entered the palace when he was young, and you didn't ask the right person about these things about girls." ”
Twisting his orchid finger, Xiao Liulin thought for a while, "However, there are some things, as long as they are sincerely paid, no matter what it is, girls should like it." ”
Back in the house, Chu Ye took out a piece of jade left by his mother, although the jade was unremarkable, it was also the most important thing for him, and he carefully polished it all afternoon, made the jade into a hairpin, and put it in the box, waiting for it to be given to her on the birthday of the hundred miles of the moon.
On the day of the birthday of the hundred miles of the moon, the eldest lady of each family and the children of the rich came to the general's mansion to congratulate, carrying the congratulatory gifts, and the hundred miles of the moon were accepted one by one, and thanked.
Chu Ye was pacing in the palace, it was already his birthday, but he still didn't receive the invitation, his anger was hard to dissipate, and he tightened the exquisite box in his hand.
