Lian Yan Qing had long since placed the Emperor's Royal Brush plaque at the very center of the hall. On it was written "Long live Changchun", and when the sun rose, he would lead the children and uncles of the Residence of General to kneel and kowtow three times to the tablet, proclaiming that the Emperor was magnanimous and magnanimous.

In the morning, all sorts of officials came to present their birthday presents, regardless of whether they received the invitation or not. The people who sent the gifts lined up on Zhengyang Street. There were so many gifts that it could be said to be as beautiful as a mountain.

Because the emperor had ordered the birthday banquet to be held, many distinguished guests had arrived today. Princess An, Prince Xue Renyi, Sixth Prince, Seventh Prince, and Eighth Prince had all arrived.

Lian Yan Qing, accompanied by Lian Yan Feng and Lian Yan Tao, welcomed the guest at the head door with a smile.

During the banquet, the maidservants dressed in peach red jackets, blue and white silk tunics, and white silk skirts moved about in an orderly manner, serving hot tea and refreshments to the guests who had arrived.

Even her mother greeted the guests inside, accompanying her to meet all the princesses. Her wife was not Madam Rong, nor Second Wife Hu, nor Third Wife Liu, nor Fourth Wife Yan, but First Miss Lian Yue.

It had been more than half a year since the last birthday banquet, and there hadn't been a banquet as big as this one. Everyone was surprised to find that this young miss had unknowingly become a refined beauty, wearing a pink top embroidered with pink and white peonies, a skirt covered with a watery crescent moon, and a skirt adorned with a hazy silver color. Her skin was like jade, and her lips were full and cherry red.

From this, it could be seen that the position of this great direct descendant was very stable. On the other hand, the previously glorious Third Miss had been given the position of County Lord, but now she was nowhere to be seen.

In the male guest seating area, there was a pair of eyes that were gentle like water looking at her from afar. Those eyes were filled with admiration and her slightly upraised lips couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

"Ninth royal brother .." At this time, a voice sounded next to his ears, interrupting Feng Yunzheng's train of thought. Feng Ye held up his wine cup and waved it at him.

Feng Yunzheng withdrew his gaze and also raised his wine cup, clinking it with Feng Ye's. "To the eighth prince."

"In order to capture that qilin, you spent quite a bit of effort. You were almost crushed to death by that qilin." Feng Ye drank a mouthful of wine and said with a faint smile.

Feng Yunzheng's hand paused for a moment, but his face remained impassive. "Eighth prince brother is not a problem in leading soldiers to war, and a qilin is even more so. Imperial brother has done a great service in capturing qilins, and Imperial Father once expressed his praise.

"It was for the girl's freedom, so Brother Wang thought that he had lost the right to return as a qilin. Next time, the Ninth Brother should be more careful. Speaking of which, Brother Wang can also be considered a selfless person." Feng Ye's face was still the same familiar unruly and arrogant look.

Feng Yunzheng could see an ambition in Feng Ye's eyes. This ambition was not only for the throne, but also .. He looked at the girl who was talking beside the princess of An Guo. He turned around and looked at Feng Ye. An unfathomable smile appeared on his lips. This smile contained a trace of coldness and domineering aura as he said,

"Eighth Prince, just sit back and watch. It's just that... she... you can't take her away."

Feng Ye's gaze darkened as he tightened his grip on the wine cup in his hand.

There was no difference in their expressions, but a suffocating air was flowing around them.

Because she was pregnant, the First Lady didn't get up to move around, but sat down at the ladies' table and chatted with the ladies. Everyone congratulated her on her pregnancy, and Lian Shengru, Chun Yin, and other concubines also surrounded her.

Mrs Liu of the Third Branch was particularly cheerful and was wearing expensive clothes as she chatted with the other wives.

After walking around for a bit, her mother finally said to her, "Yue Er, it's hard on you. A child has always been by my side and is still so calm. You should also go and talk to your sisters."

"Yes, Grandmother." Lian Ru Yue bowed to her mother.

"Like the moon!" Liu Xi Ren took the opportunity to stop her, Lian Ruyue's face revealed a smile, walked over, and said —

"It's been a while since we've seen each other. I heard that you're already engaged, you're Vice Minister Liu's son."

A shyness appeared on Liu Xi's face as she said, "That's right. If nothing goes wrong, we'll get married after spring."

"I can see that you are very satisfied with this marriage." Even Ru Yue was happy for her when she saw how bashful and shy she was as a daughter.

"Thankfully, after listening to your guidance, I've completely let go of people I don't need to worry about. Only then did I have the mood to look at other people." "A true friend is like you and me. Speak the truth, and don't lie. So, I want to thank you for telling me the truth."

At the back of the hall.

Lian Shiya stood behind the curtain. She looked at the bustling scene outside, then lowered her head to look at her attire. At this moment, she was actually a bit nervous. Her white fingertips were ice-cold.

At the same time, she also felt a little lonely. Normally, during Lian's family's banquet, the figure of her own mother would be there. But now, the figure of the former Xiao family was no longer there.

"Third Miss, there's no need to be afraid. You're the county's lord, so you just walk out in the open. Anyone who laughs at you will be suppressed by the county's lord. Today's birthday feast was arranged by the emperor, who dares to look down on the emperor's sacred favor?" When Senior Servant Sun noticed Lian Shiya's nervousness, she stood to the side and warned in a low voice, "You have to fight for your own mother."

Lian Shiya took a deep breath and said, "I was just worried that my legs would expose flaws."

"These days, Third Miss has been wearing these high and low shoes to practice walking, and she has already walked very well." These days, Third Miss has been wearing these high and low shoes to practice walking, and she has already walked very well, and the dress covers her shoes, and you cannot see anything. Sun mama encouraged Lian Shiya's somewhat timid heart as she spoke.

Lian Shiya took a deep breath and slowly released the nervous feelings. When she opened her eyes, her eyes were filled with ambition.

"Sun mama, I'm going out. Have you prepared all the items for the incantation?" she whispered.

Sun mama patted her chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, this old servant's office lady. The things are all on me, no one can take them away, no one can detect them."

"Alright, then let's go out." Lian Shiya put her hand on Senior Servant Sun's body, and the curtained maidservant opened the curtain. Lian Shiya's face revealed her signature smile, and she leisurely walked out while stepping on her high and low shoes.
