Chapter 24 Birthday Banquet

Yun Wange knew the love for Liuli and others for her, but that night, she did not want to leave any hidden dangers.

"We still have a lot to do for the Emperor's birthday party tomorrow. This plan can only be successful, not failed."

Yun Wange closed his eyes, and countless innocent people were brutally massacred in front of him... He Wei, your good days are coming to an end.

Yun Wange dealt with He Wei not only for the innocent people who died, but also because he was a general of the Marquis of Jian'an Palace. Moreover, because Prince Zhong's death was inseparable from him. Yun Wange has found out that He Wei was a non-commissioned officer in charge of food and grass under General Yun many years ago. He neglected his duties, resulting in food and grass being burned. General Yun punished him, so he held a grudge and stole the secrets of the army to join the Marquis of Jian'an...

When Ling Mubei received the letter sent by Chu Nian, he was very excited, but after reading the letter, he felt a little disappointed.

Chu Nian wrote in the letter that he hoped that he could put one of her friends among his attendants and bring her into the palace.

At midnight, Yun Wange disguised herself and sneaked into the inn. Ling Mubei's room was still lit. Seeing that no one was guarding the door, Yun Wange walked in directly. "Your Highness of the King of Jin", Yun Wange lowered her voice. She didn't want Ling Mubei to recognize her. Ling Mubei was one of the people who came to Tingyuxuan that day, and she knew.

"Since Miss Yun has chosen this king, she should trust this king, so why bother to disguise?"

Yun Wange didn't expect Ling Mubei to recognize him so easily, but Ling Mubei was able to remain neutral in the fierce battle between the princes of Dongling and not offend anyone. His ability should naturally not be underestimated. However, he was unruly by nature and did not dare to be interested in the throne. Otherwise, those Dongling's people would not necessarily be his opponents.

Seeing that he had been recognized, Yun Wange stopped lowering his voice, "Please forgive His Highness the King of Jin. The appearance of Elder is really silly, and I really don't want to attract too much attention."

Ling Mubei handed the maid's clothes prepared in advance to Yun Wange, "Tomorrow, you can pretend to be Xiaojiu's maid and go with her."

Yun Wange disguised as Ling Munan's maid and disappeared after entering the palace. Ling Mubei was not worried at all. He felt that Yun Wange's ability was enough to protect himself.

On the emperor's birthday, all the people celebrated together. All the royal relatives, princes from all over the country, some officials of the ranks of the court, their families and even envoys from various countries were all present.

"The Emperor arrived-"

"The Empress Dowager arrived-"

"The Empress arrives-"

After three consecutive shouts, most of the people present knelt on the ground to salute, "Long live my emperor, long live my empress, thousand years of the empress, thousand years of the empress, thousand years of the empress, thousand years of the empress."

The emperor looked at his concubines, children and civil and military officials in the court, and smiled on his face.

"Flat-"

"Thank you, your Majesty—"

After taking the seat, the princes and envoys offered their birthday gifts. The prince Chu Heng was the first, and the Rong Mansion was richest in the world. The birthday gifts prepared by the queen for Chu Heng were naturally priceless. As soon as the four fists-sized night pearls were taken out, they scared many people present.

"Father, this is a night pearl specially found by my son from the East China Sea for my father. My son personally engraved the four words "Long Live and Borderless". I wish my father a healthy body and prosperity in the South Chu country."

The emperor was happy today and said three good words in a row.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's Ye Mingzhu made me dare not look directly at him." Concubine Yin Shu chuckled. The largest Ye Mingzhu she had seen was the size of an egg. The crown prince actually gave him four fists the size of a prince. How could he take the birthday gift from the prince behind him?

"The Empress is too awarded. Ye Mingzhu is young, and the most important thing is that his father likes it." How could Chu Heng not know how dissatisfied Concubine Yin Shu was at this time?

"Heng'er, if you can add a grandson to your father this year, your father will be happy."

The emperor took the opportunity to urge Chu Heng, but Chu Heng remained silent.

"Father, my son is still not married at such an old age. Wouldn't he be laughed at by the Fourth Brother's children?"

Chu Huan has always been the most arrogant and unruly person in the palace, but her protection for Chu Heng, the legitimate brother, is admirable. When Chu Heng was embarrassed, she helped Chu Heng save the situation.

"Father, I have prepared a jade pillow for you, and I hope my father likes it."

Chu Huan stood up, and Chu Heng returned to his seat silently. Chu Huan smiled brightly and didn't care about the discussions about her. She was the only direct princess in Nan Chu, with a noble status and had not been married for more than ten years...

Xiao Jingyu drank the wine in the glass and sighed that Chu Huan was also a brave and interesting woman.

The emperor has always been troubled by Chu Huan's marriage, and he sighed, "The father likes it."

Chu Huan returned to her seat. She didn't know if anyone noticed that the jade pillow was actually the best-colored emperor jade. Although it was not as hard to find as the night pearl, it was hard to find it.

Chu Nian spent many months embroidering an evergreen tree half a meter long and three feet wide. Although it was not valuable, it was enough to express filial piety. Chu Xun's beautiful map of the country was also praised by the emperor, and the emperor also ordered Li Quan to hang the painting in the imperial study.

Chu Heng held a long box in his hand, and the things inside aroused everyone's interest. Chu Yu opened the box, which contained a relatively exquisite dagger. No one present understood Chu Yu's intention.

"Father, this was taken from his leader when he went to war with the barbarians last year. The son could not find any rare treasures, so he could only give this dagger to his father as a birthday gift."

Chu Yu is the youngest among the princes, but also the one who led the most troops to fight. In the past four years, he has been on the battlefield dozens of times and made many military achievements, so he has today's status.

"The father has taken over Yu'er's feelings."

After Li Quan presented Chu Yu's birthday ceremony, the emperor discovered that there was a red stone inlaid on the dagger, which was very rare.

The last gift was Chu Wei, and the maid brought Chu Wei's piano up.

"Father, my son has prepared a song for my father, and I hope my father will not be disgusted."

Chu Wei gently stroked the strings of the piano, and the sound of the piano slowly flowed out.

Chu Heng is a great master in music. Although Chu Wei's piano music this time has made great progress compared to the time four years ago, it still cannot be understood by him. In his opinion, the only people with outstanding piano skills in the capital, besides Lin Qingwan, is... Yun Wange.

After the song, the emperor applauded first, "Awei's piano skills have improved a lot, and the father likes Awei's songs very much."

Chu Wei returned to her seat happily, and the little girl's happiness and anger was always reflected on her face and she didn't know how to hide it.

Ling Mubei stood up, and many people thought he had asked to marry Chu Nian again. "Dongling Jin Wang Ling Mubei presented a pair of jade biscuits to His Majesty on behalf of Dongling. I hope the two countries will have friendly exchanges."
