Lin Su said and waved his hand to let the three people except Chunyan leave, and then Chunyan moved a cloth mound for Lan Rui to sit down, "It's rare for you to come to my Fuliu Palace once, remembering the days before in King Xin's palace, Lan Rui, you also took more care of me." Since you're here today, why don't you sit down and talk to me? ”

"Since the mother said so, how could the slave and maid not obey." Lan Rui smiled and sat on the side of the cloth pier, and continued to follow Lin Su's words, "Niangniang noble is free and heavenly, slaves and maids are just doing their duty, and it is not right to let Niangniang worry about being really slaves." ”

"You just abide by your duty, no wonder the queen will value you, counting, there were a lot of maids who followed the queen's mother at the beginning, but now I see it, but only Lan Rui is left."

Lin Su sighed in a low voice as he spoke, and then smiled, "It can be seen that Lan Rui is a thoughtful and reassuring person." ”

"The mother is overrated, and the slave is just doing her duty." Lan Rui lowered her head to avoid Lin Su's gaze, her eyes fell on the menu on the low table on the soft couch on the side, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang's birthday is the most important thing at the end of this year, and the queen originally cared about it very much, but because she has been eating very lightly recently, her body is a little weak, and her energy is not good, and she rests early every night, so she can't come to the banquet." ”

When Lin Su heard this, he restrained his smile, with a trace of sadness on his face, and said in a low voice: "The little prince's sage, the harem is very sad. The queen mother is the mother of the little prince, the so-called mother-son heart-to-heart, the mother is sad for the little prince, it really makes people sigh that she has a deep love for the little prince. ”

After a slight pause, Lin Sucai continued: "It's just that I'm pregnant now, and it's snowy and icy outside, so it's really inconvenient to go out, so I can't go to accompany the queen mother more." Since you are here today, Lan Rui, I can't help but ask, how is the queen now? ”

Lan Rui heard Lin Su ask about Zhou Shuxian, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Concubine Lao Xian cares, the queen's mood has stabilized a lot now, and she is no longer the same as a few days ago, when she sees the things that the little prince once used, she can't stop crying when she sees the clothes she has worn. ”

"You sit, I'm just asking casually, don't be so nervous." Lin Su sighed, "The little prince has always been smart, when the queen mother was unwell, I also took care of the little prince for some time. Although the little prince was very young at that time, he didn't cry or make trouble, and he was very sensible. Now, he has not yet reached the age of death, which is really a pity and pitiful......"

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Su's eyes even oozed some tears, "Lan Rui, I'm a little depressed, so I won't talk to you anymore, Xia Yan ......" She shouted loudly, and Xia Yan immediately entered the house, "You accompany Lan Rui to eat some snacks and talk." I went into the inner sanctum to rest. Don't slack off Lan Rui......"

Xia Yan responded with a smile, helped Lan Rui, who got up, and said, "Don't worry, master, the slave maid just followed Qiu Yan to the kitchen to take a look, and just brought back two plates of newly made dim sum......

"You steal food again, if you do it again, be careful that I will punish you for starving!" Lin Su shook his head, explained two more words to Lan Rui, and then went to the inner hall to lie down and rest.

When Lin Su woke up from a nap, Lan Rui had already left the Fuliu Palace, she got up and washed up, holding a small stove, and only when she was reading on the beauty couch did she ask Xia Yan to come in.

As soon as Xia Yan came in, she immediately saluted, came to Lin Su's side, and said in a low voice: "Master, the things that should be done, the slave and maid have already done it." Lan Rui inadvertently saw some of the menus and the bills of the silver taels used, and the purpose of her coming here this time was really just as the master expected......

Lin Su put down the book in his hand, glanced at Xia Yan quietly, and waited for her to stop talking, then nodded with a smile and said in a low voice: "In this harem, if they want to deal with me who is pregnant with a dragon heir, they can only induce me to make mistakes to make the emperor hate, even disgusted." ”

Her hand gently tapped on the low table, with a smiling expression on her face, and said mockingly: "It's just, is it possible that they all treat me as a fool?" Now the palace knows inside and outside that the snow disaster in the north is serious, and there are tens of thousands of refugees, and the emperor has been worried about this matter for a while. Could it be that I don't know that at this time, to do something extravagant, really spend two thousand taels of silver for a birthday banquet? ”

As she spoke, she snorted coldly in a low voice, "How are all the things I explained before?" ”

"Master, rest assured, all matters have been prepared, as long as the emperor arrives in the Fuliu Hall the day after tomorrow, there will definitely be no accidents." Xia Yan smiled and promised, "Before, the slave maid had personally gone to Wang Liulian and Zhao Yuexin's side to invite them to attend the master's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, and both of them had already agreed to the master's invitation. ”

"That's fine." Lin Su sighed, "A few show girls in the palace should also be invited, don't be kind to one over the other." ”

"Don't worry, the master's instructions to the slaves and maids are all in mind, and they will definitely not do anything wrong." Xia Yan bowed her head and said: "The invitations of all the show girls were also sent by the little palace maids in the Fuliu Hall one by one, and they never missed any show girls in the harem. ”

"That's fine." Lin Su nodded, "As for whether the emperor will come the night after tomorrow, it depends on how the queen mother speaks in front of the emperor." Come to think of it, in order to achieve the goal, neither the queen mother nor the queen will let go of this opportunity. ”

"The night after tomorrow, the emperor will definitely come."

Time passed in a blink of an eye, on the night of Lin Su's birthday, after the sky darkened, the entire Fuliu Hall was brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo was faintly heard. Lin Su sat in the main hall, looking at the show girls who had come with some unfamiliar faces, and socialized one by one, with a warm smile on their faces.

From time to time, the little palace maids stepped forward to add water to the teacups, sent some pastries, and their clothes fluttered with a touch of elegance, which added a bit of excitement to the always quiet Fuliu Palace.

At this time, Zhao Yuexin, Wang Liulian, and Lan Xin came together, and after receiving the gifts of the three people, these three people sent a congratulatory gift for Lin Su's birthday, Lin Su accepted it with a smile, and motioned Chunyan to come forward and accept the gift, and put it together with all the congratulatory gifts received today.

There, more than a dozen boxes, large and small, have been piled up, and people who look at them are dazzled.

The three girls sat down in turn, and before they could say a few words to Lin Su, they heard that there was a palace maid outside, and it was rumored that Zhou Shude and Zhou Meiren had arrived.

Although Lin Su didn't have to get up, his attitude towards Zhou Shude was three points more cordial, and the show girls also got up and saluted, and then the three girls before, and finally Zhou Shude saluted Lin Su and sent a congratulatory gift.

"My sister is late, please don't be surprised."

"Where is Sister Zhou, you are late, it is obvious that a few of us are early." A show girl stepped forward with a smile, "Sister Zhou, you came just when you came." ”

Lin Su and Zhou Shude looked up at the same time, and before they could say anything, they heard the voice of the eunuch - "The emperor has arrived!" ”
