Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 215 The Queen Mother's Birthday
Qi Jinzhi curled his lips, "Is this king's family property so worthless in your eyes?"

"The king brought these things here because he wanted the second lady to help him choose one. Isn't the Queen Mother's birthday coming soon, so the king has to show something."

These things are given to the Queen Mother, no matter which one is full of sincerity.

"This coral screen is pretty good, it's unique enough." Mu Changge looked over one by one, and tapped a little on the coral screen with his pale fingertips.

"Stay." Qi Jinzhi nodded.

Mu Changge looked puzzled, and Qi Jin's first words were extraordinarily righteous.

"Second Miss was the first one to pick this one, and you probably like it too. If you like it, then I'll keep it for you, and then choose other ones as birthday presents."

Without raising his head, Mo Zhu immediately wrapped the coral screen.

Bizhu was a little dazed when she heard that, in the whole world, the queen mother of a country is more important than her own lady, and only the king of Cang can dig three feet in the ground.

He was so righteous, but it made Mu Changge a little dumbfounded, "The prince sent you sincerity, so Changge won't refuse, he's not so petty."

"If it's a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager, then it's better to give this string of night pearls. It's a good omen. The Empress Dowager must be very happy."

"Okay, then do as you said." He readily agreed, and Qi Jinzhi said again, "This king has never liked such occasions, and those flattering words have been heard from beginning to end, so it's better to stay here and be with the two of you." Miss chatting a few words is fun."

While the two were chatting lazily, Suyu opened the door curtain and came in, holding a plate of freshly washed fruits in her hand, "Second Miss, the Eldest Young Master is here."

Just as he was talking, Mu Hongyu had already stepped in. Seeing Qi Jinzhi was there, he gave him a polite salute before sitting down beside him.

"I have collided with the prince's thoughts. It's about to be the Queen Mother's birthday, and I can't decide what to give to the Queen Mother, so I want to ask Changge to give me an idea."

Bizhu laughed and said, "Now our young lady is like the backbone of this mansion."

"You girl, you're just picking two things, and you can't talk about a backbone." Mu Changge smiled.

After talking and laughing for a while, Mu Hongyu suddenly remembered something again, "I almost forgot to tell you, this time the Queen Mother's birthday, you also have to go together."

"Us?" Mu Changge looked puzzled.

"It seems that the Empress Dowager wants to be lively, saying that only those courtiers and wives are allowed to go. It is always rigid and boring."

"This year, the Empress Dowager made an early confession, but all the unmarried sons and daughters of the courtiers' families must be brought to the palace together."

Mu Hongyu also laughed when he said that, "The queen mother should want to be an old man under the moon."

Mu Changge's gaze was slightly concentrated, and he said nonchalantly, "Is it really the queen mother's plan?"

"Will there be fakes in this, but it's normal. The Queen Mother is getting older, and it's natural for people to like to be more lively when they get old."

Is it really human... Mu Changge's face remained calm, but his heart was clouded with suspicion.

Mu Hongyu's knowledge of the Empress Dowager was just the few meetings and the few words he learned from other people.

But she was the one who had been with the queen mother day and night.

She has a much better understanding of the Empress Dowager than current ministers.

Bai'an's queen mother has never been an ordinary woman.When the emperor was still the new emperor, there was a bloody storm above the Bai'an court, and there were countless eyes in the dark, staring at the unsecured throne.

The reason why the new emperor at that time was able to quell the rebellion step by step and firmly hold the throne in his hands, the queen mother was the one who contributed the most.

And for such a strange woman who fought hard in the previous dynasty, even if she is old and no longer cares about the affairs of the court, she will never turn her head to be an old man under the moon.

Mu Changge clearly remembered that the Empress Dowager never liked to be lively. On weekdays, except for the two princesses who particularly favored her, it was always difficult for the rest of the people to get close to the Empress Dowager.

How could such an empress dowager suddenly go out of her way and want to be lively in the palace instead?
Hearing that Mu Hongyu opened his mouth to mention something else, Mu Changge averted his eyes and suppressed the doubt for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager's birthday arrived.

Early in the morning, Mu Changge changed his clothes and waited to enter the palace with Mu Hongyu.

When getting into the carriage, when Aunt Jiang couldn't hear her, Aunt Song straightened Mu Changge's skirt, and whispered: "When you go to the palace, you have to be more careful about everything. What to say."

"Don't worry, Auntie." Mu Changge smiled slightly, "It will be fine."

"It would be great if nothing happened..." Aunt Song was worried, and she sighed lightly, as if she was very reluctant, but she still had to let go of her hand and let her get into the carriage. Before leaving, she carefully warned, "Haoxuan Stupid, I can't compare to you, please ask Second Miss to take care of him for everything."

After repeatedly answering to Aunt Song, Mu Changge signaled Bizhu to put down the curtain of the carriage, and headed straight for the palace.

"This time, people from the Li family will definitely come, so we must be more careful." Mu Hongyu warned, "The queen mother's birthday is a big event, and there must be no mistakes."

Mu Haoxuan had never experienced this before, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and nervous when he nodded.

Mu Changge smiled peacefully at him, "Third brother, don't worry too much, the prince and prince will be there at that time, if you can't handle it, just get closer to them, they won't ignore you."

Mu Haoxuan nodded solemnly again, and wrote down what Mu Changge said one by one.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

According to the rules, carriages outside the palace cannot enter the palace, they can only get down, and enter on foot following the guidance of the palace staff.

When he was still on the road at first, Mu Haoxuan was still a little puzzled, why he had to go out early in the morning because the birthday banquet would be at noon at the earliest.

It wasn't until he came to the palace that Mu Haoxuan realized that there are really many rules and regulations when entering the palace.Moreover, the birthday presents sent to the palace have to be checked one by one, and only then are they allowed to enter if there is nothing abnormal.

Apart from these, there are a lot of complicated rules, many of the young masters and ladies who entered the palace today have never been in the palace before, if one is not careful, they will make mistakes in the rules and make people laugh.

Even Mu Haoxuan, who has always been well-behaved, can't stand those cumbersome rules.

"At first, I thought that it was the second younger sister who was the first to be unable to hold on, but I didn't expect that it was Hao Xuan who gave in first."

When walking together, Mu Hongyu joked.

"Learn the rules from others, as long as you are careful, it's not so easy to make mistakes." Mu Changge said with a faint smile.

These so-called rules have been memorized by heart as early as in her previous life, and now they are easy to use, so how could they make mistakes?
Coming all the way from outside the palace gate, those young masters and ladies who entered the palace for the first time, it can be said that they have suffered a lot. Some of them made jokes because of wrong rules, and their faces were flushed and they dared not look up. Those who kept looking around because of curiosity caused them to lose all manners.

Walking along the way, they themselves didn't feel anything, but in the eyes of others, their respective appearances were clearly seen.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the concubine who was leisurely sprinkling fish food watched them walk all the way seriously.

Gently sprinkled the remaining fish food into the center of the lake, and the concubine, who was dressed in plain but elegant clothes, said, "Are these people entering the palace today to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday?"

"Going back to the imperial concubine, that's right." The little eunuch who was serving said, "And there are so many young masters and ladies from concubines. The empress must have seen it. This demeanor is really unflattering."

The person who asked the question was none other than Concubine Shu Gui, the head of the current four concubines.

When listening to the little eunuch's reply, Concubine Shu turned around unhurriedly.

Concubine Shu Gui was born in a scholarly family. Although her beauty can only be considered beautiful, she has a unique charm of poetry and calligraphy, which is not comparable to those vulgar fans with heavy makeup.

Looking at her attire, she is also very fond of those simple and elegant colors, and it is difficult to see any vulgar things on her body.

"That woman is very different." Concubine Shu looked over from a distance, "I don't know which family she is from, but I have never seen her before."

Following Concubine Shu Gui's gaze, the little eunuch saw Mu Changge at a glance, and replied with a smile: "Go back to your mother, that is Miss Mu's concubine, who is rumored to have the appearance of raising heaven and man." .”

The little eunuch's eyes turned sharply again, and he complimented: "It's said like this outside, but the servant looked at it, and it really looks like a middle-aged person. Maybe it's because the servant has served the empress for many years, and he has long since despised those vulgar fans. gone."

"Your mouth is a coincidence." Concubine Shu Gui smiled, "I never cared about these things, so you don't have to."

"Your Majesty is the calmest, it's because the servant is too small-minded and thinks too much, Your Majesty, don't be as knowledgeable as the slave." The little eunuch said, deliberately showing that flattering look.

Concubine Shu Gui just smiled again and ignored it, but her eyes still stayed on Mu Changge, and she didn't look back until the group of them walked away.

"This second young lady of the Mu family looks unusual."

Before the little eunuch could speak, Concubine Shu Gui said again: "It's time for me to go back, have you prepared the birthday gift for the Empress Dowager?"

"It's all ready according to your mother's wishes."

Concubine Shu nodded, led the group and left along another road.

Now it's a good time for spring and flowers to bloom. The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was moved from the palace to the imperial garden. There is no need to play, sing and dance, and the surroundings are already full of flowers, willows and greens, singing and dancing.

The warm sun shines on the person's body, which is especially ironing.

When Mu Changge and his party approached, Li Ruoyi's eyes were locked on her early on, and she signaled the servant girl to wait for her, and walked towards Mu Changge alone.
