Chapter 65 Birthday

Chongxian Lane, a dilapidated house, Zhou Rong looked up at the sky, and felt depressed.

Like all the students, he carried his bags, left home thousands of miles away, and came to the capital with great ambitions. But he knew that his ambition had not yet begun to be realized and he was stumbling to life first.

I thought I had made a name for myself at the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Festival and could be as famous as those legendary literati and poets in the capital, but I didn't know that I had not succeeded in my career and almost destroyed my efforts.

Zhou Rong did not receive Mo Yuxuan’s ten taels of silver, but brought his works back.

When Mo Yuxuan first asked him to copy the Heart Sutra of the Prajna Paramita from a famous master of the previous dynasty, Zhou Rong felt a little depressed. He became famous for his calligraphy. Since Mo Yuxuan liked his talent, why did he let him imitate others?

Whenever he encounters these problems, Pan Jun always avoids his eyes and judges it by a word of "rules". Zhou Rong thought that instead of being slaughtered by Mo Yuxuan, he might as well not sell it!

But he was about to pay the house rental fee, and the owner of the house has repeatedly extended the time limit. He couldn't pay it this month, so he could only sleep on the streets.

Zhou Rong also tried to set up a stall at the street entrance, but it was rainy these days, with few pedestrians on the road, and over the whole day, I couldn't make a few coins.

Could it be that he would go back to find Mo Yuxuan’s shopkeeper and beg him to accept this copybook?

Or, was it writing a letter to Ayuan and borrowing some money from her?

Zhou Rong thought, he couldn't do it.

He can't even afford the rent, so what's the face to contact A Yuan?

"Knock"

The wooden door was knocked twice, and Zhou Rong retracted his thoughts. Strangely, his residence was remote and he had no friends in the capital. It was so late, who came to find him?

With a creaking sound, Zhou Rong opened the door, and a tall and slender shadow fell in front of him. The young man took off his black hood and smiled at him: "You are Zhou Rong, Mr. Zhou?"

Isn’t this the guard next to Princess Huaxi during the day?

"It's me," Zhou Rong was a little surprised. "I remember the master. I also want to thank the princess and the master for helping me to seek justice. I just don't know if I'm looking for me for..."

"Borrow a step to speak," Li Mingji chuckled, "I do have something to talk to Zhou Langjun."

...

On the tenth day of October, the day of tomorrow.

The birthdays of the emperors of the previous dynasty were all designated as festivals, and Dayong also followed this tradition and called Emperor Yong's birthday the day of Tianming.

On this day, Chengqian Hall was decorated with new decorations. Jiaofangsi prepared early, putting instruments such as qin, pipa, sheng and flute on, beating drums and music, and dancing with the song.

Emperor Yong was diligent and thrifty, and his birthday banquet was not grand. Except for the royal family, only some important officials in the court came to the palace to live a long life, and the birthday ceremony was also as simple as possible.

Emperor Yong changed into a crown garment and walked out with Empress Dou, who was the same court garment, "Everyone is exempted from courtesy."

The seats are the best response to favor and decline. The old general Xie Hong, who leads all officials every year, says he is sick, and his grandson Xie Yanzhou has never participated in this birthday celebration. Now the two most powerful families, besides the Qinyang Marquis Mansion, are the Zheng family, the mother of the Crown Princess Zheng Yueyao.

The head of the Zheng family, Zheng Yueyao's grandfather Zheng Lian, was appointed as the minister of the Secretariat, and was the prime minister. After sitting down, he stood up first and congratulated Emperor Yong's birthday on behalf of all civil and military officials.

In this birthday party, except for the second prince who was far away on the border, Emperor Yong was all present, with the prince alone, and Shu Yao sat with the two princesses.

Emperor Yong's four children all came from different concubines. Therefore, compared with his half-siblings, Princess Jiayi was closer to Shu Yao, who grew up with her since childhood.

"I heard that you have a new baby recently? Why don't you show me!"

Although they all live in the palace, Shu Yao doesn't know what she is busy with recently and stays in her door all day long. Princess Jiayi hasn't seen Shu Yao for almost a month.

One day, she was idle and ran to Huaxi Palace to look for Shu Yao, wanting to take her to the market together. Shu Yao actually rejected her righteously on the grounds that she had something to do. At that time, Huaxi Palace was open with the palace gate, and Princess Jiayi saw a furry white shadow walking by.

Princess Jiayi immediately understood what was wrong. It was obvious that Shu Yao had a new baby and didn't tell her that she was playing secretly in the palace!

Princess Jiayi was depressed because Zhou Rong was busy reading books recently and did not reply to her. In addition, Shu Yao didn't ask her to play with her, so she felt even more resentful, so she naturally wanted to ask what was going on.

Shu Yao was busy painting gifts for Emperor Yong. After staying up for a few nights, she yawned lazily after hearing this, "I don't have any treasures..."

She suddenly remembered that there was something really going on. Last month, she brought a Persian cat back from the Chunjiang Huayue Tower, and she named it Xuetuan. But she was too busy recently and had no time to play with Xuetuan. It was all the pine needles and Chunrui who were taking care of it.

"You said that Persian cat was given to you by Chunjiang Huayuelou," Shu Yao said in a lazy voice. "Now that the princess is finished. If you want to see it, just say it to me in advance."

"Who cares about your cat?" Princess Jiayi snorted coldly, "I'm watching you become so haggard, so I'll tell you not to be busy every day and be careful of wrinkles."

"I don't have wrinkles!"

The little lady loves beauty, and what Shu Yao cares about the most is her appearance. Every time she paints until midnight, she will apply a lot of beauty cream on her face the next day. Today, she has been looking in a mirror for a long time before attending the birthday party, and has also let pine needles apply a lot of powder to her to cover the black green in the eyes, and use new mouth fat. As soon as Li Mingji saw it, he praised her mouth fat for its good color.

Forget it, not everyone can speak like Li Mingji. Shu Yao doesn't bother with the superficial Princess Jiayi.

Li Mingji changed into the black black armor unified in the front hall, stood in the team of the front hall, guarding on both sides of the Chengqian Hall. The prince passed by Li Mingji, looked at him without a trace, and suddenly said, "I remember, you are the personal guard of Yaoyao's cousin, right?"

Li Mingji said quietly: "Li Mingji has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince's eyes were faint.

He once left a palace servant in Huaxi Palace, and the palace servant would regularly report Shu Yao’s recent situation to him. However, not long ago, the palace servant fell while walking at night and broke his leg. He had to leave the palace and the prince lost his eyeliner.

Today, Shu Yao put on makeup and applied saliva. She is naturally beautiful and doesn't like to use these at all. Is it to cover up her haggard look? What is she busy with recently?

The feeling of ignorance of Shu Yao's recent situation made the prince feel a little impatient.

Especially this personal guard...

Some time ago, the prince finished handling the affairs and returned to the palace to take a detour. When he passed by Huaxi Palace, he saw an amazing scene. The sleeping princess hugged the young man's waist and was carried off the carriage by him. The palace servants around him did not stop him, but instead showed a strange expression.
