Xiao Weizhong sent Doctor Wu off politely, and gave Meng Jie some fatherly instructions, making his confidants look at the door of the house and not allowing Mrs. Xiao to go out, while he went into the palace with birthday gifts to pay his respects.
When Xiao Weizhong got off the carriage, the palace gate was already covered with crowns and clouds.
After entering the palace gate, he handed the birthday gift to the chamberlain, checked it and registered it in the register, and walked in laughing with the familiar officials.
Seeing Chu Chengyao chatting with Yuan Dao in the distance, Xiao Weizhong glared at him before holding back his anger and stepped forward to salute.
Hearing Chu Chengyao's concern about Xiao Siming's current situation, Xiao Wei cursed in his heart, but expressed gratitude on his face. He only vaguely said that he would continue to raise him, but did not say that his son had regained consciousness.
When he saw Chu Chengye, Xiao Weizhong invited him to a deserted place and sadly told the truth about his son's injury. Chu Chengye's face turned dark with anger.
Jia Yu caught the eye of Concubine Xian and had the opportunity to follow Chu Chengye into the palace to pay her birthday. After hearing what the two of them had said, Jia Yu stepped forward respectfully:
"Your Highness, Xiao Tanhua is a handsome young man. The King of Jin is probably worried that Miss Lin family will fall in love with Xiao Tanhua and marry into Xiao Shangshu's house. By then, General Gu and Taifu Lin will become His Highness's helpers, so he is worried about Xiao Tanhua. Killer."
When Chu Chengye recalled the Hua Hui, he regarded Chu Chengyao as one of his own and told him about his plan to let Xiao Siming marry Lin Jinyan. He also thought of the several times Xiao Siming came into contact with Lin Jinyan, and Chu Chengyao always interfered with it, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth:
"He has been so ambitious for a long time, but he pretends to be a disgusting hypocrite. Damn it! He wants the support of the Gu family, but I won't let him get it!"
Jia Yu: "Except for a few close friends, Miss Lin rarely visits his residence. Today's birthday banquet for the Queen Mother was crowded with people and envoys from the Three Kingdoms were present. Concubine Rou helped organize it. King Jin If you are interested, this is a good opportunity to make a move."
Chu Chengye and Xiao Weizhong both felt that what they said made sense. Chu Chengye thought for a moment and immediately sent someone to tell Concubine Xian and Princess Qin to keep an eye on Concubine Rou and Lin Jinyan.
In the Palace of Longevity.
The female relatives of the royal family were all here chatting and laughing with the Queen Mother.
Hearing the summons, Lin Jinyan followed Bai Yiran inside and gave a big birthday wish and said auspicious words.
The Queen Mother, who was dressed in a rich dress, was smiling more than usual, and with a gentle face, she called the person up and received the birthday gift with a few words of praise.
Lin Jinyan stood up and met with the Queen, Princess Xiang, Princess Qin and others. Seeing the Queen Mother talking to Bai Yiran, she smiled and nodded at Princess Xiang and the shy Princess Yanling beside her, and then bowed to Feng Siyao and Yue Mingzhu. With a smile.
Mrs. Qi thought of her granddaughter Zhao Huaqiong, who was still criticized by others for not leaving the house because of Lin Jinyan, but Lin Jinyan could enter the palace, and she felt that Lin Jinyan's face was an eyesore.
After hearing that Lin Jinyan's birthday gift was to personally embroider a fan with herbs, Mrs. Qi said:
"I heard that the granddaughter of Mrs. Lin was injured by a gangster in her early years. She went to Cang Sheng Mountain far away from the capital to recuperate for many years and taught herself painting. Today I found out that she actually taught herself to be a female artist without anyone teaching her? Is she really this? Strange woman, can the Queen Mother show you Miss Lin's embroidered medicine fan?"
There was a coldness in Bai Yiran's eyes, and she looked sideways to her side distressedly. Seeing Lin Jinyan's calm expression, she felt a little relieved.
The Queen Mother didn't seem to understand the sharp point in Mrs. Qi's words. She smiled and ordered Chen Momo to open the box for everyone to watch.
