The setting sun had just sunk behind the mountains outside Tianque City. In the inner city of Kyoto, the lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Zhan Mansion were all lit up. Two of the lanterns with the word "Shou" in them looked extremely bright, attracting a group of children to gather around the door of the Zhan Mansion and sing.
"Wish you a happy birthday. The feast is beautiful. When you pick up the incense, the jade is like your hand. When you pick up the cup, the gold is like wine. Wish you a happy birthday!
Life is longer than the universe. Live long and live long. The pine tree has become greener and more luxuriant. The black rabbit walked away from him. Live long and live long! "
Seeing this, the two maids of the Zhan Mansion quickly took out a basket and tray from the house. There were various pastries, candies and fruits on the tray. They smiled and said: "Madam praises you for singing well, children, I will reward you."
When the children saw that there were candies, they rushed up happily. While holding the candies, they sang in unison: "Wish you a happy birthday. A beautiful feast. When you pick up the incense, it looks like jade in your hand. When you pick up the cup, the gold looks like wine." .Congratulations on your birthday!
Life is longer than the universe. Live long and live long. The pine tree has become greener and more luxuriant. The black rabbit walked away from him. Live long and live long! "

As night falls, Lao Yang, the steward of the Zhan Mansion, has been standing at the door for two hours. In addition to smiling at the birthday guests, he also has to make arrangements for the reception of the mansion.
He was busy and busy without slacking off at all. At this time, he was urging his servants to straighten two huge lanterns with the word "longevity" in them.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The???people on the street see General Zhan¡¯s Mansion being such a mobilizing force, some curious people looked around through the open door, and saw that everything in the Zhan Mansion was filled with joy, and all the people coming and going were well-dressed people.
Originally, the Duke's wife's fiftieth birthday banquet did not need to be so grand. They just invited some personal friends to come and congratulate her. However, the new emperor wanted to make his sister look good. Not only did he give his sister the title of "Mrs. First Grade" with a stroke of his pen, In addition to the plaque, he was also rewarded in advance with ten boxes of silk and satin from Ning Guogong's mansion, and some agate and jade articles.
Even the emperor attaches so much importance to the birthday banquet of the Duke's wife. How dare everyone in the Zhan Mansion dare to make a small fuss. They simply stop doing nothing and take advantage of this birthday banquet to build bridges with the royal family and move around, so as to facilitate Zhan. The gentlemen of the house have paved a good future.
The congratulations to Zhan Mansion invited the female relatives to come to the house at noon. Most of the people who came to congratulate at this time were officials and military generals who had completed their government affairs. Even those who could not come due to physical discomfort or official duties, they all sent their own people. A birthday gift was given.
After Chu Qingyan paid her meal, she took a car from Princess Qi's Mansion. She returned to Jiang Mansion, changed into clothes for the banquet, and headed to Duke Ningguo's Mansion carrying the congratulatory gifts.
Seeing that the carriage of the eighth princess was parked at the door, the housekeeper Lao Yang quickly greeted her warmly, bent down and saluted: "Princess, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Chu Qingyan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, please excuse me. I see you look really good in old age. You are a bit younger than I saw you a few years ago."
Manager Yang touched his beard and said with a smile: "I thank the princess for your compliments. Is the princess attending the banquet alone? Or will Mr. Jiang come later?" Manager Yang saw that Chu Qingyan got out of the car alone, and there were only two people accompanying her. Maid, and four guards.
Chu Qingyan explained with a smile: "My consort is still discussing state affairs with His Majesty in the palace at the moment. I'm afraid she won't be able to congratulate the Duke and Madam in person. This is the intention of the palace and the Consort. I wish the Duke and Madam good health." After that, the people who were waiting on the side were Yue'er presented several congratulatory gifts.
In addition to the four-color gift box, the birthday gift also includes a five-auspicious birthday picture and a three-foot-tall jadeite Guanyin statue. Seeing that the gift was valuable, Butler Yang quickly thanked his master and called a few servants to carefully move the Guanyin statue into the house. He led Chu Qingyan and others into the house until Mr. Zhan's wife Zhang came to greet him. Just now he returned to the door to greet the guests.
Mrs. Zhang was afraid that the Eighth Princess might think that she was not qualified to take over the throne, so she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, the Eighth Princess, but there are really not enough manpower in the mansion today. I don't know what the wind is blowing today. Concubine Zhao, Princess Han, Princess Teng , Princess Wu are here. The old lady and the sister-in-law are busy entertaining in the front hall. If the servants are lazy and neglect your highness, please ask the eighth princess to pay attention. "
Chu Qingyan was surprised. She didn't expect that the group of clan members came together. It seemed that they all wanted to curry favor with the General's Mansion. She had frivolous eyebrows and snorted in her heart. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang still looked frightened, she shook her head and said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhan, you're too polite."
Seeing that Chu Qingyan looked kind, Mrs. Zhang calmed down and led the way while talking about the situation of today's visitors. The two chatted and laughed, and unknowingly walked to the flower hall of the Zhan Mansion to entertain distinguished guests.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Outlet Princess Han saw the eighth princess entering the door, she said with a smile: "I just happened to be talking about my sister to Mrs. Ruan, but I didn't expect my sister to come."
Chu Qingyan smiled and said hello: "Hello, Sister-in-law of the Five Emperors." Then, according to the order of honor of the people present, she saluted Princess Zhao, Princess Han, Princess Teng, and Princess Wu, and then said to those who were sitting next to the old lady. Chu Siqing nodded as a sign of goodwill.
She faced Mr. ZhanHe knelt on the ground with his upper body naked, his whole body like a ray of light on his back, and kept kowtowing to apologize: "Princess, forgive me, princess, forgive me, it was Zhan Fei who offended the princess, princess, forgive me." Dong-dong-dong, he kowtowed several times.
When Chu Siqing said this, she suddenly woke up from hysteria and her eyes became clear again. Instantly, deep regret and sadness filled her heart. She wanted to help Zhan fly herself, but she could never muster the courage to touch him.
She pulled up the quilt and covered her chest. She was silent for a long time, and then she said softly: "Master Marquis, I don't feel very well today, so just forget it."
Although Zhan Fei was full of questions, he dared not say anything now. The princess was so frightened that she became hysterical. So tonight, the courtesy of Duke Zhou would definitely not work. However, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, as if the big stone hanging in his heart had fallen to the ground.
He said cautiously: "Princess, please go call the doctor and ask for a safe pulse for the princess."
Chu Siqing said quickly: "No, I can just sleep. There is no need to let others know about this matter."
Zhan Fei nodded in agreement, then knelt down, picked up the clothes thrown aside, and put them on awkwardly.
Seeing this, Chu Siqing blamed herself even more. She couldn't bear to say: "Master Hou, yes, I'm sorry, I, I really don't feel well today. I will apologize to you another day, another day."
Zhan Fei shook his head and said: "Princess, why did you say this? I'll go to the study tonight to make things happen."
Chu Siqing thought to herself that if Zhan Fei walked out of the room at this time, the maids in the mansion would definitely know something was wrong. If this word reached her mother-in-law and the old lady, she was afraid that another trouble would arise. She quickly stopped her and said: "No When you get out, you can sleep in the house, I'll sleep inside, and you can sleep outside."
Seeing that Chu Siqing was resolute, Zhan Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet and crawl back into bed again, but this time he climbed up with a completely different mentality.
Both couples were a little embarrassed and were relatively speechless. The two of them slept separately, with Zhan Fei facing outward and Chu Siqing facing in. They were each back to back. The distance was so far apart that they could even squeeze one more person into the bed.
A night of silence and loneliness.
Chu Siqing looked confused, her mind was empty, and she stared at the wall in vain for a long time. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes due to tiredness.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, Chu Siqing was in a daze and felt that someone was gently rubbing her body, soft and hot. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw the gauze silk curtain above her head, slowly drooping, and the scent of incense lingering under her nose. It smelled very good. There was a vague and familiar figure in white sitting at the head of the bed, stroking it with her hands. own cheeks.
"Well don't make trouble, I'm sleepy." Chu Siqing opened her eyes slightly, vaguely seeing that familiar face, she buried her head in the quilt. Illusion, it must be an illusion, how could that person smile so gently to me? Chu Siqing squirmed and murmured: "Don't disturb me, let me sleep for a while."
"My little lazy boy, get up." The man suddenly came close to him, gently bit Chu Siqing's earlobe, and whispered softly: "If you don't get up, I'm going to sleep."
Chu Siqing was exhausted, but she didn't refuse. She hummed "Yeah" again and twisted her body slightly.
The white-clothed figure turned over and jumped onto the bed, pressing gently on Chu Siqing's body. Chu Siqing didn't resist, half pushing and half letting her body press tightly against him, and then she felt a moist touch on her lips. come across. The familiar sandalwood scent exuded from the man's body made Chu Siqing relax her mind and body. She just groaned, without opening her eyes or resisting, and let the warm and gentle tongue invade her mouth. , sucking her soft lips wantonly.
Wait, who kissed her?
