Chapter 51

"I don't know where the Empress Dowager started that?" Duke Mu is in a fog.

The Empress Dowager also no longer plays the riddle, "the Empress Dowager granddaughter of the mourning family may have the return Mu state mansion?"

"Empress Dowager forgives me. I'm incompetent. I haven't been able to restore the princess's identity!" When the Empress Dowager mentioned this, Duke Mu quickly knelt down.

But he couldn't help thinking that he did it very well. Secret, how can it reach the Empress Dowager's ear?

The Empress Dowager sighed, "I know. Duke mu, get up quickly. It's probably unacceptable for the child."

"I'm afraid. I wanted to tell the Empress Dowager about the princess. I can think about it. I'll talk about it after the dust is settled, so that the Empress Dowager won't worry about it." Mu explained.

See Duke Mu say so, Empress Dowager's tone is also a little more peaceful, "well, hurry up, I don't want to blame you."

Then he asked Duke mu, "Duke Mu knows, what is the princess doing in the imperial city now?"

"Back to the empress dowager, although the princess is not willing to go back now, but I still know the trend of the princess. In recent days, she has opened another shop in the Imperial City, making some strange clothes." Speaking of this, Duke Mu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Yang Zijin's business.

Fancy clothes? After hearing the words of Duke mu, the Empress Dowager couldn't help thinking that the clothes pingting wore before were designed by her granddaughter Yang Zijin?

Thinking of this, she wanted to see her granddaughter more and more, so she asked Duke mu, "when do you think you can let the mourner see her granddaughter?"

"The empress dowager, the princess is very stubborn. I'm afraid it's hard for the old minister to let her agree to go back to the mansion for a while. But when the princess comes back to the mansion, the old minister will let her meet the Empress Dowager at once." Said Duke mu.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was very disappointed, and her face could not help pulling down, "OK, step back, the mourner is ready to go out."

"Yes, I am." Then Duke Mu went out.

The birthday was held in the imperial garden. The scene was very grand.

It was divided into many areas, playing, dancing and performing. Knowing that the Empress Dowager liked to watch plays, Chu Shiyou Tian asked the best troupe in the imperial city to enter the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.

There are also banquet tables everywhere, filled with fruits and snacks. Some wives and concubines gather together to discuss clothes and talk about family routines.

When she came out of CI Ning palace, the Empress Dowager looked unhappy.

When Chu Shiyou saw this, he asked the people who followed her, but he didn't know why.

I have to give up! Then he told the nearby Gonggong Li to inform the Opera Troupe and start.

After giving orders, Chu Shiyou Tian went to the Empress Dowager and said, "empress dowager, the play is about to start. Please come to the front seat with your children and watch it."

The Empress Dowager nodded, followed Chu shiyoutian to the front and sat down.

This play is about dragon and Phoenix.

In the middle of the opera, Chu Shiyou Tian looked at the Empress Dowager's face and found that it eased a lot. He was relieved.

When watching the opera, the palace people took the rest of the snacks and fruits off the banquet table, brought up the wine and vegetables, and wrote down the seats of each official and ladies in order.

After the opera, the luncheon officially begins!

All the people were standing in their own place, waiting for the queen mother to take her seat.

The Empress Dowager went to the central position and said, "today, I'm very happy. Next, we don't have to be formal. We open up to drink and eat."

That's when I finished.

More than half of the banquet, officials stood up to toast to the empress dowager, saying auspicious words.

But during the banquet, a person quietly left his seat and went out. We didn't notice

At the end of the banquet, Chu Shiyou asked the prince and the third prince to finish.

He accompanied the Empress Dowager back to the palace of CI Ning.

In previous years, the Empress Dowager alone counted the gifts and then put them into the Treasury.

Today, seeing that the Empress Dowager's face is not good, Chu Shiyou Tian is going to check with the Empress Dowager this year, and the Empress Dowager nods.

Ci Ning palace.

"How happy is the mother today?" Chu Shitian you asked.

The Empress Dowager's face was beaming, "with the emperor's filial piety, the mourning family is naturally happy."

"If the mother is tired, she can go to have a rest first. She can give me the statistics of congratulation gifts. After the statistics are done, she can show them to her mother." Chu shitianyou asked worried.

The Empress Dowager said, "it's OK. It's still early. The mourner doesn't want to rest. Just sit and listen."

"As long as the mother is happy, listen to her." Chushitianyou also smiled.

Then he ordered Gonggong Liu, who was next to the empress dowager, to make statistics with Gonggong Li.

Gonggong Liu is in charge of recording, Gonggong Li is in charge of reading.

Only to hear

"The prime minister's office presents a pearl at night."

"The minister's office offers a pair of jade."

"The Duke of Mu presents a famous painting."

"Presented by the Minister of rites..."

When I read the congratulatory gift offered by the servant of the etiquette department, I saw a big hole in my clothes, and Mr. Li immediately didn't know why.

Seeing that Duke Li no longer wanted to read it, Chu Shiyou Tian asked, "why don't you continue reading it?"

"Back When I returned to the emperor, there were some problems with the congratulatory gift offered by the Minister of rites. " Said Li Gonggong.

Chu Shiyou frowned. "What's the problem? Bring it to me. "

"Yes, the emperor." Li Gonggong presented the dress with a hole to the Empress Dowager and Chu Shiyou Tian.

See Chu Shiyou day to see after full face enrages! "How could it be that the queen mother sent me some clothes for her birthday and called me the servant of the Ministry of rites!"

"Yes, I will go now." Said, Li Gonggong hurriedly backed out.

The Empress Dowager on one side said, "the emperor doesn't have to be angry! The mourners didn't mean to do it. "

"Empress mother, you are so kind. I will never let them go when this happens on the birthday!" At this time, Chu Shiyou was more angry!

On the way here, the minister and his wife asked Gonggong Li what happened to the emperor's sudden summon? Li Gonggong revealed that it was about the congratulatory gift.

The waiter of the etiquette Department looked at her wife. He completely handed over the gift to her wife for preparation. At the luncheon, he asked her what the gift was? Her wife also said with a smile that she was very happy to see the queen.

Why do you come to them because of the gift after a while? His wife shook her head to show that she didn't know.

She was also wondering, in the morning the Empress Dowager saw her, nodded clearly and said yes. What happened in this moment?

Seeing the arrival of the minister and his wife, Chu Shiyou Tian was furious. "The minister and his wife, do you know the crime?"

"I don't know about you." Seeing this, they quickly knelt down.

Hearing the answer from the Minister of rites, Chu Shiyou Tian threw the dress they had sent to them with great force, "don't you know? See for yourself! "

"How could this happen?" The concierge looked at his wife.

I saw her wife quickly said, "the emperor forgives me. I don't know why this dress has a hole? It's fine in the morning. "

"According to the minister's wife, I can't do it." Chu Shiyou looked at the lady of the Minister of rites.

Seeing that the emperor questioned her so much, his wife had been shocked to the spot.

"According to Chen's understanding of his wife, he will not do it, is it not wealth?"

"Tailor? Which tailor did it? And they all speak to the mourners. " The queen mother on one side opened her mouth.

The waiter of the etiquette Department touched his wife with her hand. Then she came back and said, "it's a new clothes shop in the imperial city to go back to the queen mother."

"What's the name of the owner of this shop? Can you tell from the waiter's wife? " The queen continued.

Mrs. Shi Lang thought for a while. At the beginning, she asked Mrs. Shang Shu to accompany her. I remember that when booking this dress, she heard someone call him boss Yang. "Back to the empress dowager, the shop owner's surname is Yang. What's his name? I don't know. "

The shop owner's surname is Yang? I remember that shuoling told her that the princess's name is now Yang Zijin. Today I heard from Duke Mu that the girl made strange clothes in the imperial city. Is it not the boss or her granddaughter, Yang Zijin?

"Come, call the owner and tailor of this shop and me, and dare to do something on the birthday gift of the empress dowager," the Empress Dowager still thought, and Chu Shiyou Tian spoke again.

The Empress Dowager went to Chu Shiyou Tian and took his hand. "The emperor is calm. Don't investigate this matter today. I'm tired of mourning. Let's count the gifts first!"

"I don't think about it very well. Let's go. If it's really the tailor of his shop, I won't let him go after today!" Hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Chu Shiyou Tian also thought that he was thoughtless and should not fight on his birthday.

After the emperor left, the Empress Dowager ordered Prince Liu to go out of the palace quietly and find Yang Zijin. She wanted to ask the reason. Otherwise, with Chu Shiyou's nature, it would not give up.

After the command, Duke Liu disguised himself and went out of the palace towards the direction of shuohou mansion.

It's getting late. Yang Zijin has just returned to Shuo mansion from taohuasanli. Before he sits down, Jiang Wei comes over. "Young master, there is a person in the palace looking for you outside, saying that he is in urgent need."

"People in the palace? What did he say? " Yang Zijin is full of doubts. She doesn't know anyone in the palace!

Jiang Wei said, "Ah Wei asked, but the man didn't say that he wanted to tell the young master face to face. He looked very eager."

"I see. I'll go out and have a look." Said, Yang Zijin to the door.

Seeing a man pacing back and forth at the door, Yang Zijin walked over and asked, "what can I do for you?"

"Are you Yang Zijin?" Mr. Liu asked.

Is this man a father-in-law? A moment later, Yang Zijin nodded.

Duke Liu hurriedly said in Yang Zijin's ear, "princess, can you take a step to talk?"

Yang Zijin was stunned by the princess's voice. The Duke in front of him knew her identity. He decided to find out the situation first and then walked aside.

"The old slave is the servant beside the Empress Dowager. Today, someone gave the clothes made by the princess to the Empress Dowager. I don't know that there was a big hole in the clothes. The emperor knows this. He wants to call you five times. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager pressed you down. The Empress Dowager ordered the old slave to call you into the palace to ask why!" I saw Mr. Liu explain to Yang Zijin.
