The next day, Xia Bingliang's birthday, according to the usual practice, the palace simply held a family banquet, but this year Xia Bingliang is looking forward to it.

Early in the morning, Aunt Lan was in charge of the kitchen, and Xia Bingliang also woke up and urged his subordinates to hang a few festive lanterns in the courtyard. The shoes made by Aunt Lan were already wearing on his feet.

"Shizi, do you think it's good to hang this?"

"Okay. ”

Xia Bingliang was in a good mood, until she saw An Ronghua, who was idle and idle, walked into her eyes, and she couldn't help but think of her proposal to give her a birthday gift.

"That's it, today's birthday, don't touch your own mold no matter what. ”

Xia Bingliang didn't intend to embarrass An Ronghua, but she took the initiative to walk over to Xia Bingliang.

"Xiao Liang'er is in a good mood today?"

"It was originally good, but when I saw someone I didn't want to see, I was half the difference. Xia Bingliang put on a face.

"Emotions come from your own heart, if you are influenced by others, it's just that your heart is not strong enough. An Ronghua said.

"I don't need you to lecture me yet. ”

The conversation between the two was interrupted by the person who gave the gift, although the palace did not invite outsiders, but the dignitaries still did not miss any of the princes' mansions.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Li, Lord Wang......"

These gifts were not what Xia Bingliang was looking forward to, and finally, he showed his first smile.

An Ronghua, who instructed his subordinates to hang the lamp, turned around and subconsciously hid, because the person who came was the little young master of Anfu, An Ronghua's youngest brother An Xiuyuan's little servant.

"What am I hiding, it's not that stinky boy from Xiuyuan. ”

An Ronghua straightened his sleeves and stood up, and the little guy also said goodbye and went back.

Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei came together, and An Ronghua's eyes couldn't help but become heavy. Aunt Feng was dressed up in a fancy way, and she was still fragrant after a distance.

"Congratulations on the birthday of the son!"

"Thank you, Aunt Wei, Aunt Feng. ”

Xia Bingliang had a whim, so he turned his head and gave an order to the arrogant "slave" An Ronghua.

"The one who is idle and has nothing to do, doesn't he know how to greet guests when they come?"

"Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei are not outsiders, so why be polite?"

"Then you have to say hello, you invite the two of them to go in and serve tea!"

An Ronghua can be regarded as seeing through Xia Bingliang's self-forcing work, although she does not hesitate to serve others, but since she has a new identity, some things cannot be avoided, and she is not a person who does not know how to be flexible.

"In that case, the two aunts, please come in. An Ronghua greeted with a smile.

Aunt Feng immediately became arrogant, but Aunt Wei was much calmer. The two took their seats, and An Ronghua asked the other subordinates to make two cups of tea.

"If I heard me correctly, the prince asked you to serve us tea. "Aunt Feng is holding the master's shelf.

"I'm for Aunt Feng's good, I'm afraid you can't afford me to serve this cup of tea. An Ronghua's eyes were not angry and arrogant, and he swaggered out of the hall.

Aunt Feng dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, she thought that Xia Bingliang's call to An Ronghua proved that she was just a maid, but her status in the palace was obviously more than that.

Qin Ke and Xia Huaijin also came, and Qin Ke gave a valuable jade pendant, and Xia Bingliang was very grateful. And Xia Huaijin's gift was a pair of armor.

"Thank you, father, in a few days I can wear it to the palace colonel field to practice riding and shooting!"

Before the banquet was opened, someone came to tell that the shopkeeper of Gu Pin Zhai came to offer gifts.

Everyone was skeptical.

"The prince has no friendship with the merchants in the city, how could Gu Pinzhai come to congratulate him for no reason?" Qin Ke was puzzled.

The shopkeeper of Gu Pinzhai took two men and carefully worked together to carry a finely carved mahogany box with good color.

"The grass people participate in the prince, the princess. This is made by the top craftsmen in the grass shop with the best materials to imitate Yiyue*, and someone came to customize it a few days ago, so that we can send it on the birthday of the son today. ”

The man opened the box and showed the bow inside, although it was an imitation, no matter from the material, bow shape, color, and small decorations, it was enough to be fake.

Xia Bingliang's eyes lit up again and again, before in the palace, the Queen Mother promised to send him, although this is not the real Yiyue*, but it has already made him overjoyed.

"Who ordered the order?"

"It was a woman, young and beautiful, who brought a sample paper and said that she would send it to the palace to settle the bill. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper's words came out, Xia Huaijin and the others immediately thought of Gu Nu and had no other ideas.

An Ronghua was not in the banquet hall, but chatted with Aunt Lan in the kitchen.

Aunt Lan cooked two bowls of noodles, and An Ronghua was full of anticipation.

"The noodles are coming. ”

"Wow!"

An Ronghua took the noodles with rich side dishes and fragrant aromas, although she did not serve them to celebrate Xia Bingliang's birthday and public happiness, but such a simple bowl of noodles was enough to warm her heart.

"According to me, that table of delicacies is not as good as Aunt Lan's bowl of noodles, Xiao Liang'er is really unlucky. An Ronghua took a bite of noodles, and it was so exciting to let go of eating noodles.

"The son of the world has the father-son relationship of the prince and the princess, which can be compared to me as a slave. ”

"Yes, yes, they are now father and son, family harmony, I am an outsider, what qualifications do I have. An Ronghua's words were bitter and bitter.

Aunt Lan looked thoughtful in her eyes, seemed to hesitate, and finally asked: "Actually, I'm still a little curious, what is your identity Gu Nu, listening to what the prince said, I don't think you are an ordinary slave." ”

"Listening to what he said, how many trumped-up charges do I have to bear?" An Ronghua couldn't imagine.

"The prince won't talk nonsense, it's just that I don't look at you, and you don't look like that kind of woman. "Aunt Lan's attitude is admitted.

"What did he say about me?"

"You are ...... with the prince," Aunt Lan couldn't speak.

"I'm just forced to ......" An Ronghua couldn't finish his words, looking worried.

"Did the prince force you?" Aunt Lan looked shocked.

"No, Aunt Lan, I know that you are worried about Xiaoliang'er, but he is also too worried, even if I have an ulterior relationship with the prince, then even if he targets me, he can't change it, I think he is young and vigorous and idle to cause trouble, Aunt Lan, you don't care about it.

An Ronghua didn't know what to say, admitting that she was Xia Huaijin's old friend, and she couldn't say anything if she forgot about her New Year's friendship or had nothing to do with it.

An Ronghua ate and drank to his heart's content, said goodbye to Aunt Lan and went back to the room, fantasizing about the feast in the front hall, but he was alone.

"Hmph, if the mourning family is still the queen mother, it is not easy to come to the banquet!" An Ronghua seemed to be angry with himself.

It's just that over the years, An Ronghua has never set foot in King Jin's Mansion, let alone participated in Xia Bingliang's birthday, just sending a gift every year.

"Stop!"

An Ronghua stopped and turned around, Xia Bingliang was holding Yi Yue* in his hand, but he was still looking arrogant.

"Little Liang'er!"

"Don't be hippie and smiley, pretend to be anyone!" Xia Bingliang pretended to be disdainful.

An Ronghua's smile was colorless, she originally thought that she could be unconcerned and categorical, but after all, she was worried and hesitant.

"But thank you, although it is customized with the money in the house, but even if it is your heart. Xia Bingliang pretended to be reluctant.

An Ronghua lowered her head suddenly, Xia Bingliang was shocked to think that she was lost because of her words, but An Ronghua raised her head and smiled.

"If Xiao Liang'er is not satisfied with this birthday gift, then what about the gift we said before?"

"I said it before...... Xia Bingliang suddenly realized, and hurriedly replied: "Who told you, I am satisfied, satisfied, satisfied!"
