Chapter 176 Birthday
The days passed day by day, and soon it was the empress's birthday. The emperor specially held a big banquet in the palace and invited all the families to come to the banquet.

Yu Luoshu, as this year's number one scholar in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was naturally invited, as was Shen Tianqing.

Because it was the empress's birthday party, everyone naturally did not dare to be sloppy, and the dress was even higher than the mountain.

Yu Luoshu specially customized a set of clothes for Shen Tianqing. A su satin and plain snow gauze skirt set off her skin as white as cream, with a gentle aura, which was very attractive.

After seeing her come out, Yu Luoshu stared blankly, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and couldn't help but admire: "My daughter-in-law is born beautiful, and people are much more beautiful than clothes. I think you are the most beautiful girl in the whole capital." Nice girl."

Liuying looked at Shen Tianqing with a smile and echoed, "Yes, Madam is born beautiful, and it is really a blessing from the previous life that the son can marry such a good woman."

The man nodded heavily, agreeing with her very much.

Being praised by two people at the same time, Shen Tianqing was naturally happy in her heart, but she came from the countryside after all, so it was inevitable that she would think too much about wearing such beautiful clothes for the first time.

"Oh, you two, stop teasing me. I like this dress. Is it a bit exaggerated? Is it too ostentatious?"

"Ma'am, it's because you haven't been in the capital for a long time, and you don't know those noble girls at all. The clothes they wear can be called a show of beauty. You are relatively plain."

Liuying took care of the nobles in the palace, and she has seen much more of the world than Shen Tianqing, with her words, Shen Tianqing felt relieved.

"Besides, those noble ladies are wearing gorgeous clothes, not to let His Highness the Crown Prince or the King of Beijing look at themselves more, they are all carefully thought out, so Madam, please feel free to dress boldly."

"Since Liuying has said so, then I can rest assured."

The husband and wife arrived as promised, and Yu Luoshu had already become a figure that everyone talked about in the capital. On the one hand, he was the number one scholar in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and on the other hand, the princess promised him to be the son-in-law. Everyone wanted to pay more attention to him.

Shen Tianqing was standing beside him, and naturally received a lot of scrutiny.

His Highness the Crown Prince glanced at her and took a sip of tea, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking.On the contrary, it was Prince Jing who kept looking at her straight, with playful and charming eyes.

The noble ladies attending the banquet were definitely not interested in the number one scholar, so they focused all their attention on Shen Tianqing.

"That's the wife of the number one scholar. She looks so good with her skin, and she looks so good in plain clothes."

"Although he was born in the countryside, he looks like a pleasant person, and he looks very fresh."

Zhao Ruonan listened to their discussions, and his heart was full of contempt, and the corner of his mouth could not help but sneer.

She thought to herself: "I'm afraid I can't even use one eye, how can I tell that Shen Tianqing is good-looking. Forget it, this princess has important things to do today, and I don't have the same knowledge as you common people."

After a while, the emperor brought the empress to the banquet.

The protagonist of today's banquet is the empress, she was the first to speak, "Thank you for coming to this palace's birthday banquet. This is just a small family banquet. You don't have to be cautious, just be casual."

Everyone replied in unison, "Congratulations to the Empress Empress on her thousand-year-old birthday, and hope that the dragon and phoenix will bring good luck to her, and she will be blessed with great blessings."

The voice of the birthday celebration was so loud that it resounded throughout the hall, making the Empress very happy, she raised her jade hand and signaled, "Okay, everyone, please hurry up."

"Thank you empress, my lady is a thousand years old."

Then, the queen turned her head to look at the emperor beside her, "Your majesty, let's start the banquet."

The high-ranking emperor nodded, raised his voice and announced, "Okay, listen to the queen, let's start the table."

In the middle of the banquet, Zhao Ruonan whispered a few words to the maid behind her, as if they were plotting something.

Behind Shen Tianqing, at some point, a palace lady came, holding a plate in her hand, with a jade pot in the middle of the plate, she said she was here to pour wine for her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianqing quickly picked up the wine glass to greet her, "Thank you."

As a result, the court lady tripped over the kneeling mat, dropped the jade pot in her hand to the ground, and spilled all the wine on Shen Tianqing's clothes.

Fortunately, Yu Luoshu had quick eyesight and quick hands, and with a big hand, he pulled Shen Tianqing into his arms, otherwise the jade pot would not have fallen on the ground, but on Shen Tianqing's body.

The court lady hurriedly knelt down and apologized vigorously, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was all accidentally spilled by the servant girl, please don't blame me, madam."

Seeing this, Shen Tianqing quickly helped her up, "It's okay, get up quickly, I don't blame you."

Yu Luoshu wiped his clothes briefly with a handkerchief, but the water stains were still obvious, and it seemed that he couldn't stay here anymore.

At this moment, Zhao Ruonan opened his mouth, "Oh, why is this little maid so careless, she stained the clothes of our Mrs. Zhuangyuan, why don't you hurry up and take your wife down to change clothes."

Seeing that it was a princess, the court lady was so frightened that she lost her shape, she couldn't even speak, "Yes, yes, servant... I will go now, servant."

Ever since the incident of drying the dyed wool, His Royal Highness knew that Zhao Ruonan and Shen Tianqing were at odds, and now that something like this happened again, he frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

The empress was watching all the time, she didn't want anyone to ruin her birthday, so she waved her hand quickly, signaling the maid to take Shen Tianqing down to change.

Yu Luoshu grabbed her hand, wanting to go with her, but he was a man after all, and also a top scholar in Chinese medicine, it was not suitable for him emotionally or rationally, so he chose to stay at the banquet in the end.

The court lady brought Shen Tianqing to a strange place, she couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, but when she thought that her clothes were already stained with alcohol, she didn't think much about it.

"Ma'am, there are clean clothes inside, just go in and change."

"Okay, thank you very much." After Shen Tianqing thanked her, she stepped into the room. Just as she stepped in, the maid locked the door behind her.

Only then did Shen Tianqing realize that she had been fooled.

She banged on the door loudly, but the doors and windows here had been sealed long ago, and the people inside couldn't see the scenery outside at all.

"Who the hell are you, let me out quickly."

Suddenly, Shen Tianqing discovered that there was a drug in the room, and she quickly covered her mouth and nose.

Her heartbeat was constantly accelerating, she was trying to figure out a way to get out, she must not let the bad guys succeed, Yu Luoshu was still waiting for her at the banquet in the hall!
After some searching, Shen Tianqing found a knife.

When a person is dying, in order to keep herself alive, she can do anything, so she wounded herself with a knife to keep herself awake.

Finally, she broke the latch with the knife and escaped.
