Early the next morning, at the Chu family in Yong'an Houfu.

Although Chu Taifei, Chu Mian, is in her fifties, she is well maintained like a woman in her 30s. Her skin is smooth, her facial features are beautiful, and there is no trace of wrinkles on her face.

At this moment, she was wearing a luxurious palace attire, dressed gracefully, waiting for Emperor Xuanping to summon her to enter the palace.

Two days ago, he sent someone to pass the decree, saying that when it was her birthday, he would personally send someone to pick her up and go to the birthday banquet with her family.

"Twife, the carriage sent by the emperor has arrived and is waiting at the gate of the mansion. Lord Hou and Young Master are also waiting there." At this time, the butler came to deliver a message.

"Ah."

Concubine Chu's face was full of pride and nobility, and she responded lightly, and was supported by her maid to get up, and walked all the way to the front of the mansion.

"Twife, get in the carriage quickly." Yong'an Hou Chusheng had a respectful attitude.

"Grandmother." On the side, the little son Lan Xiao also had an obedient awe.

Empress Dowager Chu got into the carriage with the support of Marquis Yong'an himself.

Lan Xiao accompanied Concubine Chu in the same carriage.

Yong'an Hou followed in another carriage.

In the carriage, a faint pleasant fragrance lingered.

Concubine Chu smelled the fragrance, and for some reason, she couldn't calm down to rest, so she simply asked Lan Xiao some questions about her studies.

He is six years old and is studying in the kindergarten class of Yunmeng Academy.

Marquis Yong'an has no children so far, only one daughter married into the Lan family.

Lan Xiao was an orphan brought back by Concubine Chu, who was adopted by Marquis Yong'an.

In the Hou Mansion, the servants all called him "little son".

The carriage moved steadily.

Suddenly, Concubine Chu heard a familiar cry.

She couldn't help frowning.

Open the car curtain and take a look.

"Stop." Concubine Chu said immediately when she realized something was wrong.

"Grandmother, what's the matter?" Lan Xiao didn't know why, and asked quickly.

"This biscuit seller is going to the east of the city. This is not the way to the palace!"

Concubine Chu had a bit of anger on her face, "How dare these slaves not listen to the emperor? Where do you want to take me?"

"Grandmother, don't worry, let Xiao'er go and ask."

When Lan Xiao heard this, he was immediately sensible and authentic.

He got out of the carriage.

Later, Chu Sheng also opened the curtain of the carriage and asked what happened.

Lan Xiao stepped forward and explained the reason.

When Chu Sheng heard this, he quickly got off the carriage and asked the leading eunuch.

"Eunuch, don't you dare to ask, isn't this carriage going to the palace? How did it go all the way to the east of the city?" Chu Sheng asked.

"Entering the palace? Who said this is going to enter the palace?" The eunuch looked noble and cold.

"Here, isn't this the emperor sent to take the concubine into the palace to attend the birthday banquet?" Chu Sheng asked.

"Joke! There is no birthday banquet in the palace today! This carriage is indeed sent by the emperor to pick up Concubine Chu, but it is not going to the palace, but to Jiang's house!" The eunuch gave Chu Sheng a white look, and said softly .

"What? Go to Jiang Xiangfu's house? What's going on?" Chu Sheng was a little at a loss.

"Our family is just a slave, obeying orders, how can we know what the masters think? Marquis, it's getting late, let's continue on our way!" The eunuch said, and ordered the carriage to continue.

"Wait!"

However, Concubine Chu was sitting in the carriage and had already heard their conversation clearly.

She lifted the curtain of the car, with a domineering expression on her face, she coldly stared at the eunuch and taught him, "What a slave! How dare you go against the holy will! Today, the emperor is obviously going to hold a birthday party for me in the palace. Banquet, birthday celebration!

"He sent someone here just to take me into the palace!

"But you actually dare to pass on the imperial decree, trying to trick me to go elsewhere?

"Aren't you afraid of offending the palace, the emperor, and losing your head?"

When she reprimanded her like this, a group of eunuchs and guards were too frightened to speak out.

Seeing that they had been restrained, Grand Concubine Chu immediately had a proud expression on her face.

"Come on, turn around! Go to the palace! The emperor himself promised to celebrate the birthday of the palace. At this moment, the banquet must have been held in the palace, waiting for the palace to arrive! If you dare to disobey the palace, the palace will let you The emperor killed you!"

Concubine Chu spoke harshly.

The group of people didn't move immediately, but looked at the eunuch in charge.

"Since Concubine Chu doesn't believe our family's words, she must go to the palace, then go, but it's not certain whether she can enter the palace gate when the time comes." The head eunuch smiled coquettishly and raised his hand With a wave, he signaled the carriage to turn around and go to the palace.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng and Lan Xiao got into the carriage immediately.

The carriage headed north.

Not long after, we arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

However, when the guards at the gate heard that it was the carriage of the Marquis of Yong'an, they refused to let them pass.

Concubine Chu was so angry that she wanted to lose her temper again.

But thinking that this is the gate of the palace, he lost his temper and cursed people, in case it spread to Emperor Xuanping's ears, it would damage his image, so he restrained himself.

"I don't believe it! You go in and tell me. If the emperor knows it's me, he will take me in!" Dowager Chu said to the guard at the door.

"I'm really sorry, Princess Lingfu has an order that no one who wants to enter the palace today, unless they are the ministers of the court! Especially, your surname is Chu!" However, the guards were very stubborn. Said.

"you!"

Concubine Chu was immediately annoyed, "She is a little princess, how dare she give such an order? I didn't offend her, so why did she target me like this? You go in and send a message, I want to see the emperor!"

But the guard just gave her a blank look and didn't want to pay her any more attention.

"Okay, that's great! If that's the case, then I'll wait here! Wait until it gets dark, wait until tomorrow! I don't believe that she, a little princess, can really cover the sky with one hand and prevent me Entering the palace!"

Concubine Chu was so angry that her face turned green.

Just sit in the carriage and insist on waiting here.

Both Chu Sheng and Lan Xiao were too frightened to speak out.

Here they are, just waiting.

Seeing the sun approaching noon.

The leading eunuch said suddenly: "Chu Taifei, don't wait here, since Princess Ling Fu has given such an order, how dare this little palace gate guard let you in?

"Instead, our family would like to persuade you that today, Princess Ling Fu held a birthday banquet for Concubine Chu at Jiang's house, which is what the emperor meant.

"Twife, it's getting late, why don't you hurry to Jiang's house!

"Otherwise, your birthday banquet will not be in time!"

The eunuch persuaded him.

Concubine Chu could not believe it.

"What did you say? This is impossible! The emperor agreed to hold a banquet for me in the palace! The emperor stayed with me when he was a child! He is very filial to me, even if he doesn't want to serve him in the palace I'm celebrating my birthday, so it has to be at Chu's house! Why should I be at Jiang's house?"

She asked the eunuch angrily.

However, the eunuch just smiled coquettishly.

I just heard him say: "The concubine asked the servant this, but she really asked the wrong person, our family is only responsible for spreading the word, as for what the two masters, the emperor and the little princess, think, how can our family know?

"In short, the birthday banquet is at Jiang's house, whether or not to go is up to the empress dowager herself!

"Our family thinks that if the concubine herself refuses to go, then Princess Ling Fu will be no wonder."

When Concubine Chu heard this, her eyes froze.

She sneered, and said: "Bengong understands! She is a Princess Lingfu, so she came up with this idea! Want to deliberately keep Bengong from going to the birthday banquet? She is dreaming!"
