When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his birthday banquet attracted great attention.

His Royal Highness loves to be lively, and when he is in a good mood on weekdays, he is generally not shelf-friendly, close to the people, easy-going, of course, the premise is - a good mood. Obviously, His Royal Highness's birthday is naturally in a good mood.

So on that day, under normal circumstances, His Royal Highness will entertain the court officials and fox friends who are good friends on weekdays, and there will be the most powerful imperial chef in the palace who has hollowed out his mind to come up with a beautiful, auspicious, and most importantly, delicious meal and snack, of course, the least is the palace wine cellar that is not smelled on weekdays......

Oh, and the most beautiful maids, the most handsome little maids.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, except for the Xianwang, Zuo Xiangyimai and most of their henchmen who expressed their disdain, the vast majority of people were still honored to be invited to the birthday banquet of this highness. Even, for many days after that, it was proudly advertised for a long time.

There are only a few days left before His Royal Highness's birthday, and this year is becoming more and more exciting - the birthday of the new crown prince, and at the critical time of such a sensitive stand in line to show loyalty, it is natural that everyone wants to go in and get a piece of the pie.

The "old people" of previous years naturally riveted their efforts to consolidate their position, and the "newcomers" wanted to ask for the label of belonging to the virtuous king or the left prime minister, racking their brains to think about how to get the post of the prince's birthday banquet.

It is said that in those days, the maids and maids in the prince's mansion more or less received money from different sources. Less, is a small denomination of silver tickets, more, even a thick pile, and some gold, silver and jewelry, in short, taking this opportunity, the East Palace must have made a lot of money.

The maids did not refuse to accept all the bills, and even, they were very careful and responsible in front of the small maids or masters who came to deliver the money, and all the money received was recorded in the book, and everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what the people of the prince's mansion meant for a while......

But not long after, the mansion received an invitation from the prince's mansion, and the boulder in his heart finally landed.

It's just that this heart didn't fall for long, and I listened to the bustle outside, and only after asking did I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that in view of the fact that he finally soared this year, he ...... This year's birthday banquet is held directly in the palace hall, and everyone in the court, with their wives and daughters, has a share!

The official who heard the report from his subordinates sat on the spot - so, this silver, was given away for nothing?

His subordinates were very considerate, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince released the news, saying that you have all bothered, and he will not forget those intentions, and let his subordinates ascend the throne, and at that time, the location of the banquet will be arranged according to the size of these hearts......"

What?!

The officials could hardly believe their ears, and that's it...... Accepting bribes in front of His Majesty the Emperor? Is that what you mean?!

Is this ancestor really so bold? Or did you become a prince and start to flutter and not know how many pounds and taels you had?

There are also those who sneer, "According to the size of the mind? That's nice...... Let's look at it, just the position of the first one, it is destined to be impossible to buy with more silver, that is the Shi family, you go and ask him Gu Yansheng, dare to accept the silver money of the Shi family? ”

Hearing this, someone chuckled, "It's not a bluff." After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say money, what he said was his heart, and he could naturally say that the Shi family's heart was the heaviest. ”

It seems like...... That's true.

Looking at the Shi family again, it is the most out of the matter, and I even heard that the post of the East Palace was not sent to the Shi family, but no one will feel that the Shi family was not invited. Everyone knows how close our lord of the East Palace is to his maternal grandfather's family, so close that His Majesty has been afraid of him for many years.

Look at the Shi family again.

Today, the Shi family was lively early in the morning, and Mrs. Shi personally greeted the person at the door, which was originally a noticeable thing, but it happened to be covered by the inexplicable operation of His Royal Highness the Prince, and no one paid attention to it for a while.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized in hindsight that there seemed to be some happy event in the Shi family?

A lady probed her head and asked another lady next to her, "Happy event?" Isn't it...... The eldest lady's wedding date is set? ”

The other party pondered for a while and shook his head, "It shouldn't be." If it is the eldest lady's wedding, the action should be bigger...... Yesterday evening, I went to Widow Zhang's shop on East Street to buy some fabrics, and I saw Widow Zhang crying and mourning...... You know what? ”

"What's wrong?"

"I heard! offended the eldest lady of the Shi family...... In the future, the family's business will be completely yellow! ”

As he spoke, another head poked out from the side, and he inquired with gossip on his face, "Is it really fake?" This widow has always been a good person, and no one in the scene can compare to her with long sleeves and good dancing, how can she offend that ancestor without opening her eyes? ”

"Hey! Who's to say it isn't! Early in the morning, the Shi family went to someone, saying that they were asking Widow Zhang to tailor their clothes, and Widow Zhang didn't know until she went...... The one who makes the clothes is either the master or the maid! I was a little unhappy at the moment, and it was perfunctory when I measured it, and I thought it would be good to pay the errand casually, who knows...... The ancestor just looked at it, and he looked at it...... He said that the data was wrong, and he got angry on the spot and drove people away......"

"Ahh The later one shook his head again and again and sighed, "Widow Zhang is fine, has good craftsmanship, and is the most proud on weekdays, and she is not happy to let her make clothes for the maid." I'm afraid it was because of so much business in the Shi family that I didn't refuse...... Who would have thought ...... Hey, it's bad luck. ”

"It's not ......"

"So, this man is not happy...... Compare it, I think that everyone in the family is more expensive than my own gold...... Speaking, I'm a little curious, which maid is it, did you ask? ”

"Asked! But the widow Zhang didn't want to say, after all...... Shame isn't it? ”

"It's also ......"

While talking, I heard the sound of "haha" laughter coming from the gate of Shi's house, the sound was like a bell, and I knew that it should be Taifu's when I heard it.

The three of them looked at each other, quietly took a few steps back, and hid behind a large tree.

It didn't take long for the old man to come out first, and the girl holding him was obviously the eldest lady, as well as Mrs. Shi and Master Gu, but the strange thing was that there was a man walking in front of Master Gu, who was very familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

And Taifu was obviously talking to this man, but Lord Gu was actually behind the other party.

This man...... Who is it?
