Sujiu and Suniang were very tactful and hurried forward. One of them helped Mu Peiyun to massage her shoulders while the other picked up a fan to fan her.
Mu Peiyun smiled helplessly and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
Soon the day of the birthday banquet was held in the general's mansion. General Bai had spent his entire life on the battlefield, and his son was taken to the border when he was still an infant.
Now that the foreign threat has been resolved and he has been recalled to the capital, the royal family wanted to confer a new title on him. However, General Bai retired from the court on the grounds of his advanced age, leaving only his son Bai Yu to take over the Mu family army.
Moreover, General Bai’s wife, Mu Han, is the younger sister of the current emperor. Although she died after giving birth to a son, she left behind this son, Bai Yu, who is even better than his father.
It is conceivable that many ministers in the court will attend General Bai’s 60th birthday party, it will be so lively.
"Master Li, Master Zhu, please come in."
"Minister Chen, please make yourself at home. Please come to the front hall."
Bai Shou looked at the endless stream of guests, glanced at Bai Yu beside him, and smiled helplessly. This was not a celebration for his 60th birthday at all, it was clearly... really tiring.
Just as I was thinking about it, a generous and magnetic voice sounded: "General Bai, congratulations, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains."
Bai Shou turned around and greeted him: "Congratulations, Prime Minister Mu."
Mu Jin looked back at her two daughters and said, "Come and meet your Uncle Bai."
Mu Peiyun's brother Mu Ci was stationed at the border with Bai Shou. A few days ago, Bai Shou and Bai Yu were recalled to the capital, leaving Mu Ci alone at the border.
Mu Peiyun and Mu Peiyao understood and came out to bow to Bai Shou and congratulate him: "Hello, Uncle Bai. Congratulations on your birthday. I wish you a long life."
Bai Shou looked at the two of them, then looked at Mu Jin and couldn't help but sigh: "You are still good at enjoying life. These two daughters are as beautiful as flowers and have exquisite minds. They are perfect for you as a loving father. When the eldest son returns from the border, we will be reunited."
As the two were talking, they heard the eunuch's announcement from afar: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Ninth Prince are here!"
Everyone knelt down and saluted, except for a few powerful ministers. Mu Yunchen waved his hand to exempt them from the formality and walked straight towards Bai Shou.
"General Bai, I am a little late. My mother had a cough when I woke up in the morning, so my father stayed in the palace. Only I and my brothers came to celebrate the teacher's birthday. I hope General Bai can understand."
"Yes, General Bai has spent his entire life in military service, so his birthday should be taken seriously. This prince would like to congratulate General Bai on his good health and a long life of a thousand years." Mu Yunyu stepped forward and said.
"Since my brother the Crown Prince and my brother the Fifth Emperor wish General Bai a long life, then I wish General Bai to always smile and be healthy."
After Mu Yunxu finished speaking, he glanced at Mu Yunchen, and his look was as if he was seeking credit.
Bai Shou bent his waist slightly, looked at them kindly and said, "How dare I? The Queen is ill and I am worried about her. I thank the Emperor and the Queen for their kindness.
I also thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and everyone else, please come in."
After greeting Mu Jin and several other adults, they followed Bai Shou into the mansion. The moment they stepped over the threshold, they looked back and saw Mu Peiyun staring at his back.
Their eyes met in the air, and there seemed to be sparks but they were fleeting.
Mu Peiyun was suddenly startled and her face flushed instantly. She was caught while peeking. Why was she so stupid? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Xiaobai are cousins, so why wouldn't he come?
When Mu Peiyun looked away, he saw Mu Peiyao beside him also staring in the same direction, and Mu Peiyun understood.
"Madam Prime Minister, the banquet for female guests is over there. I will ask the maid to take you there." Bai Yu said as he ordered the maid behind him to come forward.
Mu Qingqing nodded slightly and thanked him: "Thank you." Then she followed Mu Peiyun and Mu Peiyao in.
The seats for male and female guests were naturally separated. Mu Peiyun didn't understand why Mu Peiyao had to come here, where could she see Mu Yunyu? But now she understood it, because she also wanted to see Mu Yunchen.
Just when I was feeling depressed, I saw an acquaintance walking in gracefully, wearing a light green coat and a hairpin decorated with green plum blossoms.
Mu Peiyun pulled Mu Qingqing's sleeve and looked in that direction: "Mother, the snow scene is over there."
Mu Qingqing looked over at Mu Peiyun as she spoke, smiled knowingly, and held her daughter's hand and said gently: "Go."
Mu Peiyun instantly became happy, smiling unexpectedly, and shook Mu Qingqing's hand coquettishly, saying, "Thank you, mother."
She wanted to turn around and ask Mu Peiyao if she was going, but Mu Peiyao was nowhere to be found. Mu Peiyun could not care less and stood up and waved to Yu Xuejing, saying, "Xuejing, I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuejing also ran towards Mu Peiyun and said, "Yun'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you were poisoned. I was very worried. I thought you wouldn't come today."
Mu Peiyun pouted and pretended to be angry: "You knew I was poisoned, but you didn't go to check on me. Aren't you afraid of me——"
Before she finished speaking, Yu Xuejing covered her mouth: "Yun'er, don't say anything unlucky. You and I will be fine."
Seeing Yu Xuejing's slightly red face, Mu Peiyun stopped teasing her. After all, Miss Jiao always needs to be coaxed.
"Where's Sister Xi? Is she in seclusion again?" When Mu Peiyun asked this, he found it a little funny.
When she was young, she often sneaked to the military camp to visit her brother. One time, she ran into Lin Xi through the same dog hole. It turned out that Lin Xi also often sneaked in. Lin Xi was the legitimate daughter of Lin Fucheng. The two hit it off and became close friends.
Later, I got to know Yu Xuejing through Lin Xi. Strangely enough, Lin Xi is a very active person, but he would play with the quiet Yu Xuejing.
Now with Mu Peiyun, who can be active or quiet, the three of them have become a perfect iron triangle.
Yu Xuejing couldn't help but chuckle: "It's released."
"Haha." Mu Peiyun laughed out loud when she saw that there was no one around.
Lin Xi, with her active personality, would be put in solitary confinement if she met Prime Minister Lin, who was determined to train her into a well-educated and well-mannered daughter.
"Are you laughing at me behind my back again?" Suddenly, Lin Xi appeared out of nowhere, scaring the two of them.
Mu Peiyun patted his chest, took a deep breath and said, "I'm really guilty, Sister Xi, why are you walking so quietly?"
"You guys were laughing so happily that you couldn't even notice me."
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed. They were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many days, playmates with similar interests, and confidants who cared about each other.
However, she did not notice that a fierce gaze was staring at Mu Peiyun not far away, as if it was going to stab her six times in the next second.
"Brother Yu, if we are discovered, Yao'er will definitely be punished by our father and mother."
