Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

He pulled her up without hesitation and dragged her out of the room.

If we let her continue taking pictures, she could do so for two hours without letting go, by which time the birthday party would be over.

Old Madam Ye kept complaining all the way, saying that General Ye was jealous of her youth and beauty and didn't allow her to put on beauty makeup.

General Ye looked as if he was saying "whatever his wife says is right" and dragged her to the front yard.

Guests began to arrive to congratulate them.

The two men straightened their clothes and stood in the front yard to welcome the guests.

Rong Yan is coming to the Ye Mansion to offer congratulations today, and he wants to bring the emperor and a few others with him. He was just wondering what name he should use to bring them along when he heard someone coming to the door.

When he walked out, he saw the emperor and several others dressed as his followers.

All four of them had changed their appearances. They had dark skin, dull eyes, and looked numb as if they had been tortured by life and had lost all desire to live.

Rong Yan's scalp tightened and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Four followers, an emperor, a concubine of the emperor, the head of Tianshan Pavilion, and the best doctor of Dayan...

Any one of these names could kill someone, but he wants to bring four at once!
Jun Feiliang glanced at him and said calmly, "Prince Rong, it's time to set off."

The time should be neither too early nor too late. Going too early or too late will attract attention.

Rong Yan calmed himself down and nodded: "It's time to set off."

He raised his hand and had the gifts moved onto the carriage.

Then, Huo Liao drove the carriage, Gu Xingyuan sat beside him as an assistant, Jun Feiliang and Xia Baozheng were personal attendants, and they rode in the carriage with Rong Yan, heading straight to General Ye's mansion.

General Ye's Mansion is located on the quietest street in Xiling City. Carriages come from all directions and gather here. The whole street has changed from its former quietness to become extremely noisy and lively.

At the gate of General Ye's mansion, General Ye and his wife, along with their two legitimate sons and daughters-in-law, stood in front of the gate to welcome the guests.

Seeing the carriage from the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion, General Ye came forward in person. When he saw that the person who came to congratulate him was Rong Yan, he paused slightly.

Didn’t they say that the Marquis’ wife would come? Why is it the Prince of Zhenxi?
But he soon stopped his pause and laughed, "The Prince of Zhenxi has come in person, which brings honor to the Ye Mansion."

Rong Yan smiled faintly and said, "Today is Madam Ye's birthday, so I have to come and congratulate her in person. This is a good opportunity to share in Madam Ye's birthday wishes."

General Ye said, "Prince Zhenxi is too polite. Please come in."

Rong Yan then took his four followers and followed the butler in.

As we walked in, we saw lights and decorations everywhere, and everything was exquisite. Guests gathered in twos and threes, talking and chatting, and it was very lively.

Rong Yan chose a pavilion on the rockery and sat down. The location was very good and he could see every guest who came in.

The four of them had already made a division of labor before coming. After standing in the pavilion for a while, Huo Liao, Gu Xingyuan and Xia Baozheng left the pavilion quietly.

In the end, Jun Feiliang was the only one left sitting in the pavilion with Rong Yan.

The emperor stood behind him, and Rong Yan felt as if there were sharp knives on the stool, making him feel uneasy.

His back was straight and his whole body was tense, as if he could jump up in the next second.

Jun Feiliang glanced at him and said calmly, "Relax a little. You don't look like you're here to celebrate a birthday, but rather to attend a funeral."

Rong Yan: "..."

Take a deep breath and try to relax.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, and General Ye and Madam Ye personally escorted a leisurely and handsome nobleman in. (End of this chapter)
