"What do you want to do on Uncle Huang's birthday?" Mu Yunlan raised her head.

"Birthday?" Yue Jingxuan's eyes sank, "Did Zan Li tell you?" ”

"Well, she said that she needed to prepare in advance, and the city lords of several other cities would also come to congratulate me, and I realized that I had never asked you what your birthday was."

"Actually, I don't like birthdays," Yue Jingxuan took her to sit down, her expression was flat, "My birthday is the death day of my mother, and my father and mother were going to celebrate my birthday that day, who knew that Yue Jingyun would take the opportunity to make trouble...... After coming to Yunnan, I needed an opportunity to contact my subordinates, and I kept it on my birthday, but I didn't care. ”

Unexpectedly, there was such a reason inside, Mu Yunlan held his hand and pressed slightly: "Uncle Huang, I will accompany you on your birthday in the future." Instead of pale and feeble comfort, it is better to go down with him.

"Okay." Yue Jingxuan took her hand and kissed her lightly on her lips, her eyes fell on her alone, and the starlight in her black eyes gradually lit up, dispelling the emptiness.

The two had lunch together, Tianshu had already sorted out the guests who came to the birthday banquet every year, Mu Yunlan looked at the thick list, and directly asked Lin Quan to call in: "Uncle Lin, in five days it will be Uncle Huang's birthday banquet, this year's situation is special, it should be extra careful, these are the guest lists, you look at the arrangement, I will let Tianshu assist you." ”

After all, the importance of people can not be ranked simply according to the size of the official position and the strength of the family.

Mu Yunlan was busy dealing with the things at the banquet, and Qing Sleeves walked in: "Miss, you asked me to check the matter of Qi Nian, and I already have eyebrows." ”

Mu Yunlan put down the invitation card in her hand: "How is it?" ”

"It is indeed as Qi Nian said, the Qi family abused their daughter, except for the young lady who came out, the other young ladies were in a difficult situation, and when Qi You died, I don't know how many people were secretly happy. However, there are a total of three young masters in the Qi family, the eldest young master is a sick man, when he went out, he saw Qi You's corpse, and he was directly scared to death, and the second young master was in the gambling house the day before yesterday, and his leg was broken......"

The head of the Qi family has courage and skill, but unfortunately he is too patriarchal, although the status of women is low now, but whose biological daughter will not let it go and let others suffer. He took more than a dozen concubines and gave birth to more than a dozen daughters, only three sons, but unfortunately, these three sons are now gone.

"At this juncture, the Qi family has a second young master, and his leg has been broken, the head of the Qi family should be mad when he thinks about it, give the Qi family a post, and invite him to the banquet."

"Yes, miss."

As she was talking, Bizhu entered the door: "Miss, Miss Zan is here." ”

"Zan Li? Invite her to the side hall, and I will go to see her after I have changed my clothes. ”

"Yes, miss."

In the side hall, Zan Li sat quietly, but her heart was not calm, at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she was rejected for offering lotus flowers in public, and then there were rumors and rumors, if it weren't for the fear of her father's power, I was afraid that someone would have ridiculed her in front of her.

A few days ago, she came to talk about the birthday banquet of King Ning'an, firstly, she wanted to sell it well, hoping that the prince could see herself, and secondly, she wanted to use the opportunity to help prepare the banquet to suppress those unpleasant rumors, at least to prove that the prince could let her help prepare the banquet, at least she was not completely without a chance.

She dared to say this at the beginning, with the help of Mu Yunlan's unfamiliarity with Yunnan, but she never expected that after three days, the descendants of the Lin family would actually prepare a banquet with people, if she didn't come again, I am afraid that until the end of the banquet, there would be no chance for her to intervene.

There was a sound of footsteps, Zan Li hurriedly got up and saluted Mu Yunlan: "I've seen the princess." ”

"Excuse me, I don't know what happened to Miss Zan this time?" Mu Yunlan looked at Zan Li, she smiled gently, her eyes were calm and indifferent, with an indifferent and indisputable atmosphere, but, after the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she didn't think that this Miss Zan was really as indifferent as she appeared.

Moreover, a few days ago, she reminded the emperor of the birthday banquet, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she cared too much.

Taking 10,000 steps back, she really forgot the birthday of her uncle, and it should be reminded by the city lord Zan Yuan, isn't she afraid of damaging her reputation as a woman who has not left the cabinet?

Feeling the coldness in Mu Yunlan's words, Zan Li's face was calm: "Princess, there are two days before the birthday banquet, I heard Steward Lin say that I need to buy some fresh melons and fruits from all over the world, so that the distinguished guests from all over the world can eat habits, it just so happens that I have a Zhuangzi, which has collected a lot of melons, fruits, seasonal vegetables from all over the world, if it can be used, I will let people pick and prepare it." ”

Mu Yunlan turned her head to look at Qing Sleeves: "Go and call Lin Mu." ”

"Yes, miss."

Soon, Lin Mu was sweaty and walked in with Qingsleeve: "The slave has seen Miss." ”

"You have been doing things with Steward Lin for the past few days, let me ask you, are the fruits, fruits and vegetables that need to be purchased ready?"

"Miss Huiyu, I have ordered someone to transport it from all over the country, and it will arrive tomorrow."

Mu Yunlan nodded: "It seems that there is no need to bother Miss Zhan." ”

"It's the courtiers who are presumptuous, but I didn't expect the princess to have people to help all over Yunnan." Zan Li's heart was even more uneasy, such a thing would never be used as a joke, that is to say, Mu Yunlan was really able to transport things from all over the country in just a few days, did she have connections or did the prince help?

If it is the former, the father will far underestimate the weight of this princess, and if it is the latter, the prince will love her too much......

According to her previous observations, this princess should have almost forgotten the prince's birthday, otherwise, she should have started preparing a long time ago, instead of hastily arranging it after her reminder, is she so unconcerned, and the prince doesn't mind?

Mu Yunlan smiled and didn't answer her question: "Miss Zan has other things?" ”

Zan Li raised her eyes, met the clear eyes, only felt that her mind was instantly seen thoroughly, she barely maintained a smile: "Princess, these days, there have been some not very good rumors in the city, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

"Do you mean that the prince will die soon?"

"Yes, because of this rumor, the people of Yunnan are panicked, and the courtiers ...... The courtiers also felt very unstable in their hearts. Now that she was able to see through her thoughts, Zan Li simply showed something, she looked at Mu Yunlan carefully, not missing any of her expressions.

"You also said it, since it is a rumor, it is naturally unfounded, the prince is in good health, there is no problem, but someone wants to shake the hearts of the people, the rumors stop at the wise, don't care." Mu Yunlan's expression was calm, the smile on her lips was shallow, and she couldn't see the slightest emotion.

Zan Li bit her lip secretly, lowered her eyes slightly, and the other party didn't seem to notice the temptation between her words: "It's the courtiers who are presumptuous, don't disturb the princess, and the courtiers say goodbye." ”

"Bizhu, send Miss Zhan."

When Zan Li went out, Qingsleeve was a little indignant: "Princess, this Miss Zan is afraid that she has more thoughts." ”

"It's not just her, it's her father, Zan Yuan." Mu Yunlan lowered her eyes, and her heart was a little heavier.

"Zan Yuan is the city lord, and he has a lot of power, he understands the prince's plan, so he naturally wants to wait until the prince's big thing is completed to get a piece of the pie." This marriage is naturally the best way.

"I was afraid that was the case before, but now, I'm afraid I have a little more plans." Zan Yuan is not stupid, he can become so big in Yunnan, and his power should not be underestimated, otherwise the bones that would have been swallowed up would have been gone. Just now, Zan Li asked about Uncle Huang's body, and there must be his instructions behind it.

Yue Jingyun's plan really worked.

"Miss, should we rush back to Yunli City as soon as possible, in this Zhaotong realm, Zan Yuan's power is the strongest, and the slave is afraid of him...... "After people's hearts are shaken, it is most likely to breed trouble, if Zan Yuan has a heart of betrayal, the consequences are simply unpredictable."

"No, now that there are rumors, we can't make the slightest difference, otherwise, it will be a catastrophe." Mu Yunlan sighed, "Is there any news of Feng Jingyu?" ”

"Haven't found it yet."

"Let Uncle Wen Yu and them do their best, they must find Feng Jingyu before the imperial court."

"Yes."

In the past two days, the city lords of the other three cities also rushed over with people, and Yue Jingxuan stayed in the study all day, and came back late at night. Mu Yunlan also had to see the wives of each family while staring at the preparations for the banquet.

The day before the birthday banquet, Mu Yunlan asked Lin Quan and the others to confirm the things again and again, and only after confirming that they were correct, did they put their minds at ease. Back in the room, Qingsleeve helped her pinch her shoulder, and Bizhu helped her take the pulse.

"Miss, you are far from recovering from the injuries you suffered before, and now you are busy one after another, and you have no time to recuperate, this is ......"

Mu Yunlan smiled bitterly: "I know, but there is no way, I can only survive this battle first." ”

"However, the day of the prince's poisonous hair is also approaching, your body ......" Bizhu is really worried, after coming to Yunnan, she changed the method every day to recuperate for the young lady, and she ate a lot of good things, but the young lady's body did not improve much, and the disadvantages of giving birth to blood began to appear, which was simply worse......

Mu Yunlan smiled: "Okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's take one step at a time." ”

Tonight, Yue Jingxuan came back a little earlier, the two of them lay on the bed after washing, hugged each other and said these words, and then went to sleep, who knows that not long after falling asleep, they were noisy by a banging knock on the door.

Qingsleeves ran in quickly with a pale face: "Miss, the Imperial Banyan Garden where the banquet is going to be held tomorrow is on fire!" ”
