After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 75
The greatest blessing in her life is to have such a well-behaved and sensible daughter.

On the ninth day of October, at the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, Mu Zheng ordered people to make full preparations and surrounded the entire Taimiao.

Sure enough, everything was exactly as Lin Youyi said.

At three o'clock in Xu time, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the palace, and the originally sturdy lantern was actually blown down by the wind.

The lamp oil in the lantern flowed down the incense table, and the flames sprang up all at once!
At the same time, Ling Yun led people to quickly cover the flames with thick asbestos cloth, and the fire was strangled before it could spread.

Ling Yun led the people and quickly tidied up the Taimiao, and then quietly left the palace with Mu Zheng.

Mu Zheng didn't want anyone to know about this matter.

After all, the Taimiao is on fire, which is a big deal!

Once this matter is spread, then, among the civil and military officials, there must be someone who will criticize the emperor for improper governance and lack of virtue, which will lead to punishment from heaven and burn down the Taimiao!
This kind of merit should be able to get a big reward from the emperor.

However, due to various reasons, Mu Zheng couldn't tell the emperor, so he could only wrong Lin Youyi.

Thinking of this, Mu Zheng put aside the casual guards and walked into the Chengyang Marquis's mansion by himself.

He found Lin Youyi's yard with little effort.

In fact, Mu Zheng didn't know why he appeared here, but after the incident of the Taimiao fire came true, in his heart, he couldn't help but want to talk about it with Lin Youyi.

As soon as he reached the door, Mu Zheng heard the conversation between Lin Youyi and Xing'er in the room.

"Miss, tomorrow is your birthday, have you thought about how to celebrate?"

"What is there to celebrate? My son's birthday, my mother's difficult day, even if I want to celebrate, I should celebrate it for my mother. However, I think my mother will cook a lot of delicious food for me. Then, Eat longevity noodles with me! Well, I really have some gluttonous skills!"

"Ah... that's all?"

Myolie's little face was full of disappointment.

"Otherwise? It's like this every year, what's there to sigh about?"

Lin Youyi lay lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, and replied to Xing'er indifferently.

"Miss, you can't say that. In the past, we were dependent on others and couldn't help ourselves. But now, you are already a legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Chengyang! The slaves have heard that there will be a big banquet on the birthdays of the eldest lady and the second lady. Banquet, let them invite all the noble ladies in the city to celebrate their birthday together. And ah..."

"Enough is enough? Your lady is not enough, let you down?"

"Miss, as you know, the servant doesn't mean that! The servant just... is just arguing for you."

"What's there to complain about? Silly girl, my birthday belongs to me. As long as I live comfortably, that's the most important thing! If it's true as you said, I invited a bunch of people, but none of them are treated by me." See, it’s not good to eat well, but also to see their forced smiles and insincere words, just think about it!”

When Xing'er heard Lin Youyi say this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

"But, this is the pomp that a concubine's daughter should have!"

"The ostentation is all for others to see. Instead of wronging myself to cater to others, I would rather not have these vain ostentations. If I had to choose..."

Lin Youyi turned over and lay flat with a soft pillow in her arms, her eyes looked at the sachet hanging on the bed frame and she fell into deep thought unconsciously.

"Miss, how do you want to choose?"

"I want to stay in the starry sky, the stars seem to be dyed, the sky is endless and the night is sleepless."

This wish was once an unattainable luxury in her previous life.

At that time, she was blind and was trapped in darkness all day long. Her greatest wish was to have a little bit of starlight to accompany her in the darkness where the sun was not visible.

Just when Lin Youyi was deep in memory and couldn't extricate herself, that little girl Xing'er started laughing again.

"Miss, you are embarrassing God! Now that October is dark and the sky is dark, I am afraid that it will not be until the end of the month that you will be able to see the bright stars."

"Alright, something is better than nothing!"

Lin Youyi sighed meaningfully.

Then, she shivered all over, and unconsciously pulled the soft blanket beside her to wrap her body.

Mu Zheng outside the door, listening to the conversation between Lin Youyi and Xinger, slowly raised his head to look at the night sky.

On the second day, when the Marquis of Chengyang heard about Lin Youyi's birthday, it was already afternoon.

He wanted to solemnly make up for Lin Youyi's birthday, but was stopped by Lin's mother.

Marquis Chengyang felt sorry, so he asked Lin Youyi to choose a gift by herself, no matter how expensive it was.

Lin Youyi didn't refuse either, she just said that she wanted to draw a pair of fans by herself, and asked Chengyang Hou to help her find someone to make them.

Chengyang Hou responded immediately, only waiting for Lin Youyi to hand over the manuscript to him.

At night, just as Lin Youyi turned off the lights and lay down, she heard a noise at the window.

She sat up suddenly, and fixed her eyes on a black shadow behind the bead curtain, standing still.

"Who? Who's there?"

Lin Youyi shrank back tightly, and quickly grabbed the porcelain pillow with her hands in case of emergency.

She thought about screaming and calling for help from the government soldiers.

However, the next moment she reacted in time, she couldn't shout!

This is Chengyanghou's Mansion, how could someone sneak into her boudoir quietly without alarming the mansion soldiers?
Therefore, nine out of ten people who come here are from the mansion!
Moreover, this person didn't do anything against her through the screen.

At this time, if she really calls the government soldiers here, then it will be her reputation that will be ruined!
Come to think of it, the person who devised this trick had the same idea!

Therefore, Lin Youyi had the courage to bite the bullet and asked in a trembling voice.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, when the person behind the screen opened his mouth, he broke all of Lin Youyi's conjectures.

"Put on your clothes and go out with me!"

"Prince Rui? Is...is it you?"

"It's not me, who do you want?"

"You, why are you here?"

When she learned that the person in front of her was actually Mu Zheng, Lin Youyi not only did not relax, but even tightened her grip on the porcelain pillow in her hand.

"I'll give you a stick of incense, hurry up and clean up!"

"My lord, it's so late, you...where are you taking the little girl?"

"Go and see what you want!"

"What do I want? My little girl doesn't want anything! My lord, it's getting late now, you'd better go back early! Guadatian Lixia, you don't want my little girl to show her ambition by dying?"

"Little girl, what are you thinking! Now that you know it's getting late, don't delay any longer! You are so prevaricated and procrastinated, is it possible that you are waiting for the king to dress it for you?"

"Need not!"

Lin Youyi reluctantly walked down from the bed.

She dressed quickly, but she couldn't remember what important things happened during this time in her previous life?
