Zhaoruo clapped his hands, and the two palace men carried the birthday cake together and placed it in front of the Empress Dowager. Zhaoruo walked over with a special small candle.
After lighting the candles and putting them on the cake, Zhaoruo learned how to sing the birthday song again and sang.
"Grandma Royal, on your birthday, make a wish on this cake and blow out all the candles, and it will come true. Grandma Royal, please make your wish quickly."
The Empress Dowager smiled happily when she saw Zhao Ruo's appearance, and praised Zhao Ruo's mother, "This girl has so many clever ideas."
"Royal Grandma, we have to wait for you to make a wish before we can taste this birthday cake together. Please hurry up and make a wish~"
"Okay, okay."
After blowing out the candles, the Queen Mother made a slight gesture and cut a piece of cake.
Qi Chuchu and Mu Chenduan shared a piece. Mu Chenduan glanced at it and pushed it in front of Qi Chuchu, "These all belong to the princess."
"You really don't want to eat at all?" Qi Chuchu asked in a low voice.
The look of the two whispering and talking caught Mu Chenjing's eyes. When the painting done by Princess Duan was presented to the Empress Dowager, he looked at it carefully. It didn't look like a mediocre painting.
Is this Princess Qingcheng really the orphan from Xixia? Does Mu Chenduan know about this?
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Rong Yuan asked, giving Mu Chenjing a dish of Longjing shrimp.
Hearing this, Mu Chenjing turned around and said with a smile, "I was just thinking, if Zhaoruo made this birthday cake very well today, I can make one for Yuan'er's birthday next month."
"The emperor is thinking about my concubine, that's enough."
Rong Yuan smiled brightly and raised a glass of wine with Mu Chenjing.
The birthday banquet was almost over, Qi Chuchu went to change out of her dance clothes, and Mu Chenduan was waiting for her to come out outside the hall.
"Let's go."
Mu Chenduan heard the sound, took Qi Chuchu's hand and walked together. Qi Chuchu wanted to break away, but the people in the palace were too confused, so she gave up.
When the two walked to the palace gate, they found that King Qingyang had not left yet.
What on earth does this uncle want? Qi Chuchu couldn't help but frown, very unhappy.
"It seems that the ice silkworm Gu has been removed from my nephew's body?"
"Uncle, are you waiting for your nephew?"
King Qingyang did wait here on purpose, but the person he was targeting this time was not Mu Chenduan, but Qi Chuchu, "I haven't figured it out yet, should I call you Princess Qingcheng or Princess Jiashan?"
Hahaha! Qi Chuchu's face showed a fake smile, "Qingcheng is already Princess Duan, the emperor does not need to call her that. Besides, the eldest princess of Jiashan practices and prays for blessings in the temple. How can she be in the Eastern Capital?"
King Qingyang snorted coldly, "So what if you don't admit it? My nephew, my nephew's wife, there is still a long way to go in the future, let's see."
"Uncle Emperor, walk slowly."
After watching King Qingyang leave, Qi Chuchu and Mu Chenduan came to the carriage. As soon as they sat on it, Qi Chuchu immediately slid down against the wall of the carriage limply.
It's really tiring to go to a banquet, dance, paint, and deal with those little people.
But she felt a little strange, how could King Qingyang doubt her identity?
"Tell me, King Qingyang is doing this today. If he really reveals my identity, what will he gain?"
"Didn't the princess think of it?"
Do you even think about asking him? Qi Chuchu rolled her eyes helplessly, "I'm just asking because I didn't think of it."
Mu Chen Duan responded and began to analyze for Qi Chuchu. The eldest princess of Jiashan had a special status. If it was revealed that the marriage princess sent by Xixia was tipped to be an orphan of the previous dynasty of Xixia, it would be an excellent reason to attack Xixia.
Speaking of the two of them, Mu Chenduan might be framed for not reporting the incident and be implicated.
"If one day the truth comes out and Mu Chenjing takes the opportunity to send troops to Xixia, only the people will suffer."
"It seems like this is really the case..."
"However, as far as I know, there is already a fake princess who looks similar to you in the temple of Xixia."
Hearing this, Qi Chuchu nodded, and suddenly realized something was wrong.
So, how did Mu Chenduan know this and her identity before?
Realizing that Qi Chuchu seemed to be staring at her, Mu Chen asked her what was wrong. She thought about it and asked the question.
"That's because Jia'er, you said it yourself."
"When?"
"The night you and I were given the gift of marriage."
That day? Is it because you drank too much? Qi Chuchu could no longer remember the situation at that time, so he stopped talking.
After returning to the palace, the two of them returned to Luanqi Pavilion together.
When Qi Chuchu got up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning, but his whole body still seemed to be falling apart.
TMD...Why is Duan Wangba so energetic? What else is there to say about being tempted? It’s clearly the animal’s heart that is moving!
"Qianyu, go pack your men's clothes. We still have to go out in the afternoon."
"Yes, princess." Qianyu responded and left, and Qi Chuchu got up and went to eat something.
Once again putting on men's clothes and going out, Qi Chuchu went to Danmoxuan.
"Man, let me ask you a question, how do you collect paintings?"
"Master, do you want to sell paintings? Then please invite me to sit in the private room upstairs first. I'll invite our shopkeeper now."
