Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Chapter 51 Entering the Palace

Qin Yuanyi saw that Mu Chu was not as lively as before, so he put away his anger and spoke in a slightly softer tone: "Chu'er, don't worry, I'll take care of everything, just rest assured."

When Mu Chu heard this, he always felt that things seemed to be beyond his imagination.

When he returned home, Nanny Sang was really there. Mu Chu originally thought that he was just fooling the old lady by saying it casually, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Qin Yuanyi handed Mu Chu over to Nanny Sang, "Sang Nanny, Mu Chu will go to the palace to attend Concubine Wang's birthday banquet in seven days. She doesn't know some etiquette, so please teach her carefully."

Nanny Sang was very happy: "Don't worry, young master, Chu'er is very smart. I promise she will learn it quickly."

Mu Chu also nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."

Then he said to Qin Yuanyi: "Don't worry, uncle, I promise not to embarrass you in seven days."

Mu Chu was also very concerned about being able to enter the palace. First, he was curious, and second, he wanted to know the backers of the Wang family. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you have a chance of revenge.

So in the following days, Mu Chu worked extremely hard and practiced every day, and even the nanny kept praising her.

Seven days later, Xiao Tao brought in a set of clothes early in the morning, saying that it was delivered.

Mu Chu asked Xiao Tao: "Where is my uncle? Isn't he going to the palace?"

Xiao Tao shook her head: "I don't know, but I heard from Wang Xing that the young master left yesterday because of something."

Mu Chu felt a little disappointed after hearing this. He originally thought that Qin Yuanyi would go as well.

After changing her clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a goose yellow dress. It looked simple, but fresh and refined. The face in the mirror was still stunning without any makeup. Mu Chu sat down and let Xiao Tao do her makeup.

About half an hour later, someone from the Qin Mansion came over and said that Old Madam Qin's carriage was waiting outside the door, so Mu Chu led Xiao Tao out.

Seeing Wang Xing at the door, Wang Xing walked over and whispered to Mu Chu: "The young master asked me to tell you, young lady, he will take care of everything, don't be afraid."

When Mu Chu heard Wang Xing's words, her uneasy mood finally eased a little. Mu Chu lifted her skirt and got on the Qin family's carriage.

Old Madam Qin was in the carriage in front, and Director Mu was in the back. When they arrived at the palace gate, everyone got off the carriage and had to walk in.

Old Madam Qin repeatedly reminded her not to go beyond the rules, as the palace was different from the outside world. She was afraid that Mu Chu would cause trouble for her and implicate them.

After entering the palace, a palace maid led them to Concubine Wang's Lanfang Hall. Mu Chu looked up and saw that the entire hall was filled with tables from beginning to end. Mu Chu followed behind Madam Qin. Sitting in the main seat was a graceful and elegant woman whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Madam Qin. There was no doubt that this was Concubine Wang.

So Mu Chu followed the etiquette taught by Nanny Sang and performed the ceremony together with Old Madam Qin. The old madam ordered people to present the birthday gift she had prepared.

Concubine Wang smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Aunt, thank you for your trouble," and a palace maid took the gift.

Then he looked at Mu Chu who was lowering his head behind Old Madam Qin, "Is that the third girl Chu'er behind you? Raise your head and let me see."

Mu Chu looked up and clearly saw the surprise that flashed across Concubine Wang's eyes.

Then Concubine Wang said, "The girl Chu looks a lot like her mother. All right, please take a seat." Then a palace maid led them to their seats.

When almost everyone had arrived, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Wang spoke: "This year, the Emperor has granted special permission for Your Majesty to hold your birthday banquet in the Imperial Garden. The Emperor will go there in person after leaving court. Ladies and young ladies, please follow me to the Imperial Garden to watch the ceremony."

The ladies below all said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Concubine Wang was supported by the palace maids and a group of people followed her as they walked towards the Imperial Garden.

When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Mu Chu was stunned by the scene before him. The scene was so grand that it was no exaggeration to describe it as a grand feast. No wonder people said that the Emperor doted on Concubine Wang.

Not long after I sat down, a sharp male voice came, "The Emperor has arrived."

At that moment, everyone stood up and lowered their heads in silence. It was so quiet that not even the sound of a pin drop could be heard. Mu Chu also stood behind Madam Qin, not daring to look directly at her.

This was the first time Mu Chu saw the emperor. He was a little curious, so he secretly glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a long beard, slightly gray hair, and wrinkles of time etched on his face. Only his eyes were bright and energetic, and he was intimidating without being angry, and his aura was overwhelming.

Mu Chu was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and shouted with everyone else: "Your Highness, long live the emperor."

But the emperor's emotionless voice was heard: "Everyone, please stand up. Today is Concubine Wang's birthday. Please don't be restrained."

Concubine Wang smiled as beautifully as a flower and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, I thank you." Mu Chu got goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.

Concubine Wang helped the emperor to sit down, then sat beside the emperor and spoke a few words to the palace maid beside her with her head down.

The maid went down to make arrangements, and then the musicians played music and the dancers came up to dance. After about a quarter of an hour, Mu Chu was puzzled. Why didn't the Crown Princess Qin Muyun come to participate?

Before he could react, Qin Muyun appeared with her maid. After coming up, she knelt down and apologized: "Father, Madam Concubine, I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at her with a somewhat displeased expression: "Crown Princess, please get up."

Old Madam Qin's body was obviously stiff and a little nervous, fearing that the Emperor would make things difficult for Qin Muyun.

Mu Chu was a little surprised that Concubine Wang, Qin Muyun's aunt, did not make any excuses for her.

Qin Muyun then ordered the palace maid to present the birthday gift. After opening the box, it was a set of gilded head ornaments, which was very luxurious.

The Imperial Concubine spoke gently, "Crown Princess is so thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work in taking care of the Crown Prince. Please take a seat." The Emperor's expression noticeably relaxed after hearing this.

Qin Muyun hurried down and sat at the first seat at the desk.

For some reason, Mu Chu felt that Qin Muyun's life was not easy.
