Chapter 169

"Hahaha, look at this child. It's really intentional!" the Empress Dowager looked at a picture of the eight immortals congratulating on their birthday. She immediately smiled again, took Liu Ruyan's hand, sat down and told the people around her: "go and take up the pair of Jinbu shakes of the mourning family!"

Everyone was surprised. When the Empress Dowager was the queen, the first emperor rewarded her. She has always been regarded as a treasure by the Empress Dowager. Now she is willing to give it to Liu Ruyan. Does this indicate something.

For a moment, the empress concubines couldn't help looking at each other. Lin Jinxiu clenched her fist and stared at Liu Ruyan with a pair of eyes.

"Empress mother, this seems unreasonable..." Lian Chengming doesn't know why, but he looks worried at this time.

Hearing Lian Chengming's question, Lin Jinxiu hurriedly followed him: "yes, empress dowager, that's your most precious jewelry. Why don't you change a reward?"

However, their words brought the Empress Dowager's unhappy face: "I'll give you what I want. Go and get it quickly!"

Liu Ruyan didn't think about it. After all, the Empress Dowager said so. If she doesn't answer again, she won't give the Empress Dowager face.

But she also vaguely knew that the Empress Dowager's move pushed Liu Ruyan to the cusp of the storm again.

Not long after, the families of all officials also arrived one after another, took their seats one by one, got together in twos and threes, whispered, and began to socialize.

The lights in the garden were bright. Liu Ruyan saw Liu yuanzhan coming with Mrs. Liu at a glance, but he could only sit in place due to courtesy, watch Liu yuanzhan meet with all officials one by one, and then come here to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.

After all the officials arrived, the Empress Dowager's birthday officially began.

To Liu Ruyan's surprise, Qin Jiayan took Sima with him. Sima didn't seem to know much about the etiquette of the Central Plains. At first, she just did their etiquette in the western regions to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. Qin Jiayan patiently showed it to Sima, ignoring that it was a woman's etiquette.

Sima saluted the Empress Dowager according to the gourd painting ladle. A clever mouth also made the Empress Dowager unhappy.

Then Qin Jiayan sat down, and Sima sat beside Qin Jiayan. Liu Ruyan just knew that it was arranged by Lian Chengming. Otherwise, with Sima's identity, how could she sit on Qin Jiayan's side.

But that's good. A good girl like Sima is just right for Qin Jiayan.

Lian Chengming's eyes were looking at Liu Ruyan. Seeing Liu Ruyan looking at Qin Jiayan, there was no wave at the bottom of his eyes. On the contrary, he was a little relieved. He couldn't help frowning. What was in her mind.

Seeing the two, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but be happy and asked with concern: "the little prince loves the princess so much. I don't know if the wedding date is near. At that time, I'll send a cup of wedding wine to the mourning family!"

"That's natural. The Empress Dowager can rest assured that it's already under preparation." Qin Jiayan said, his eyes as indifferent as water, but he couldn't see any joy. People around also echoed one after another, saying congratulatory words.

The singers came up one after another. Liu Ruyan talked with the Empress Dowager for a while, and then found a chance to go down. The last time Liu Fu was ill, Liu Ruyan just hurried back to have a look. Now he is still worried.

"Mother!" Liu Ruyan came to Liu yuanzhan and his wife and squatted beside Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu and Liu yuanzhan were startled. Mrs. Liu couldn't help scolding: "Why are you here? If your Majesty's empress dowager sees it, it's OK. Go back quickly!"

"Mother, don't worry. Now the banquet is coming to an end. It's better for mother to go back to Zichen palace with her daughter for a short chat. Her daughter still has a lot to say to her mother. She didn't have time to say a few words with her mother last time..."

Said, Liu Ruyan unexpectedly took on some wronged tone.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help sighing that she was her own daughter. Although she had been a empress concubine and had received all kinds of glory and favor, she was also a child in front of her, so she promised to come down. The mother and daughter returned to Zichen palace with their servant girls.

Who knows, when passing through the alley, he suddenly heard the voice of children's quarrel inside. Liu Ruyan listened carefully, but it was the voice of 15.

"Go and call people out." Liu Ruyan frowned and told zhen'er.

I don't know what trouble this little fifteen has caused. Now, on the Empress Dowager's birthday, as a granddaughter, she doesn't go to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday. She quarrels with people in a remote place. She is really spoiled.

Jen'er immediately realized that she went into the deep alley and brought out the three people inside.

Liu Ruyan was surprised. It was Mingyu who was with fifteen. In addition, there was a young man in white. She didn't know who it was.

Fifteen at this time, a pair of eyes looked at the strange boy. It seemed that they had not finished scolding. When they were about to open their mouth to speak, Liu Ruyan scolded: "shut up and make more noise. Fifteen, what's your etiquette as a princess?"

Then Liu Ruyan turned to the young man and asked, "whose child are you? Why are you arguing with the princess today? Tell me one by one. Don't lie."

The young man was a courteous man, so he gave Liu Ruyan a fist salute, bowed his waist and said, "Madam Hui, I'm Lou Shuke, the son of the Minister of justice. Just now I just accused a few words of Mingyu. Princess 15 spoke wildly and said evil words to me. I really couldn't stand it. I just answered a few words."

Liu Ruyan and Mrs. Liu looked at each other. Mrs. Liu meant that she didn't want Liu Ruyan to intervene. After all, one is a princess, one is the son of King fan and the other is the son of Shangshu. None of them is easy to provoke.

"You're talking nonsense. It's clear that you're making bad remarks about Mingyu. Why, the princess said you're terrible!" Xiao 15 came again. If Mingyu didn't pull it, I'm afraid he would rush up and hit people: "you despise Mingyu as the son of King fan. What good thing are you? Dare to gossip in front of Princess Hui. I won't tear your mouth!"

"Fifteen!" when Liu Ruyan heard this, he got angry and looked at the face of fifteen. He couldn't believe it: "who did you learn such bad words from? Do you still remember that you are a princess!"

"If your royal brother hears this, you must be punished again. Why are you so ignorant!"

Just then, Lian Chengming came. He sprinkled some wine on his clothes, which was quite conspicuous. When he saw a group of people standing in place, he couldn't help wondering, "why did they come here when they weren't at the banquet?"

Seeing Lian Chengming, she trembled and moved to hide behind Mingyu. After all, she was still afraid of Lian Chengming and looked at Liu Ruyan with a pair of eyes.
