The third day of the seventh month was Xie Jing Xing's birthday. Everyone in Prince Rui's residence should be busy. It was said that although Xie Jing Xing himself did not like it, Emperor Yong Le would hold a banquet for Xie Jing Xing at the Azure Heaven Restaurant every year. The more Emperor Yong Le valued Xie Jing Xing, the more the courtiers respected Xie Jing Xing. Of course, Xie Jing Xing's performance in these two years was worth scrutinizing. The birthday banquet had always been a day to curry favor. Early in the morning, a steady stream of birthday gifts poured into the courtyard.
Uncle Tang was busy recording these things in the book and even showed it to Shen Miao. Shen Miao was after all the Wangfei of the residence of Prince Rui. Even though she was in a cold war with Xie Jing Xing these days, she still had to look over the accounts. Shen Miao glanced at it and saw a dazzling array of names. No matter if it was a high ranking official or a low ranking official, all of them rushed over to curry favor. The Lu and Ye families also sent over congratulatory gifts.
Shen Miao sighed in her heart. It was only because Emperor Yong Le and Xie Jing Xing had a close relationship that if it was in Ming Qi, any official who held a birthday banquet with so many people coming over to congratulate, in the eyes of the Emperor, that person would be the first to be suspicious. In the end, when it came to Long Ye, he did it with great fanfare, which made people feel a little surprised.
Uncle Tang pointed out to Shen Miao which gifts should be placed in the storeroom and which gifts could be used directly. At the same time he asked Shen Miao, "Today Furen must not forget to dress up early. Tie Yi's side will send someone to fetch Furen to Bi Xiao Lou."
Shen Miao was puzzled, "Me?"
Uncle Tang smiled and said, "Madam is our Wangfei and His Highness's wife. Madam naturally has to attend His Highness's birthday." After hesitating for a moment, he stuttered, "When a husband and wife quarrel, they quarrel at the head of the bed and reconcile at the end of the bed. His Highness looks angry, but if Madam doesn't go over today, I don't know how long she'll be sulking with me, so …"
"Understood. I will go over." Shen Miao said.
Uncle Tang then heaved a sigh of relief and exhorted Shen Miao with a few words before leaving.
After leaving, Shen Miao finished looking at the account books and packed them up before preparing to return to the room. Jing Zhe came up with a thick face and carefully asked Shen Miao, "Furen will definitely go to Bi Xiao Lou tonight right?"
"Prince Rui's residence is being stared at by others. Now that I have just arrived at the Great Liang, there will surely be people watching the show. If I don't go, it will instead give people the chance to gossip. It is better to go directly and deal with whatever comes. Isn't it better?"
Jing Zhe nodded her head repeatedly, "That's right. They want to see what our Ming Qi's Wangfei looks like, so let them see it clearly. A Furen that came out of the General residence, how can anyone casually become a Wangfei!"
Gu Yu pulled Jing Zhe and glared at her before whispering, "The more you speak, the more exaggerated it is."
Jing Zhe's lips twitched and seeing that Shen Miao had already walked into the room, she whispered to Gu Yu's ears, "Furen is still feeling awkward and find so many reasons. If one wants to give in to Son-In-Law then just say it first, no one would laugh at it." He then sighed with emotion, "Furen is finally willing to admit defeat. Son-in-law is truly capable."
Gu Yu said, "Speak less of it."
When Shen Miao returned to the room, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu also followed in. Gu Yu asked, "Does Furen want to pick what to wear tonight? This servant also wants to think about what kind of hair to comb. "
Shen Miao said, "Those will be done later. Help me grind the ink."
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at each other in dismay. Both of them did not know why Shen Miao was interested in writing at this moment. Speaking of which, Shen Miao was not a person who loved to write and draw, but they would naturally follow their Mistress' intention. Shen Miao spread out the letter and Gu Yu and Jing Zhe then understood that it was to write a letter.
