At that time, Meng Zhaoge had no way to defend himself.

At noon, Yuan Jinglie came to Meiyuan to eat. Both of them liked strong flavors, so the kitchen made boiled fish.

The sight of that bowl full of chili peppers makes my throat burn.

Meng Zhaoge even picked up a piece of fish and dipped it in the spicy soup. The tender white fish was covered with a layer of red oil, which was so spicy that it made people's tongue numb.

But she ate it calmly and said with a smile: "I love it."

The spicy soup flowed down the corners of her mouth and onto her chin.

Yuan Jinglie thought she was so cute.

So, he picked up a piece of fish and soaked it in the soup. When he ate it, it was so spicy that the boy broke out in a sweat.

“This is so spicy!”

"You can't eat spicy food, but you're trying to imitate me." Meng Zhaoge poured him a glass of water: "Quickly suppress it."

Yuan Jinglie drank it all in one gulp and stuck out his tongue: "I also like strong flavors, but I didn't expect it to be so spicy. Sister, how can you eat so much spicy food?"

"This is a talent." She boasted proudly, but as soon as she took a bite, she choked and started coughing.

“Ahem…Mohuan, water!”

Mo Huan quickly poured her a glass of water, and she gulped it down, and only then did she feel better.

Yuan Jinglie on the side smiled with his eyes curved: "Sister, this is the result of bragging."

"Brat." Meng Zhaoge slapped his head angrily.

Mo Huan also teased him deliberately: "Young Master Yuan's brain is not smart to begin with, and if the queen still pats him, he will be patted into a fool."

"Mohuan!" The boy's ears blushed with shame.

The three of them were enjoying themselves.

This atmosphere did not last long.

In the afternoon, Nanny Fang came to Prince Jing's Mansion from the palace and went straight to Plum Garden.

Meng Zhaoge originally thought that Nanny Fang was here to ask her about Liu Xiner, but Nanny Fang asked, "Madam, the prince's birthday is coming soon. Do you have any preparations? Madam Lan wants you to take good care of it."

She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly, "Of course I'm prepared!"

"What preparation?"

"What preparations!" Meng Zhaoge's fingers hidden under his sleeves were almost broken, and his peach blossom eyes looked around in panic.

However, Mo Huan looked helpless.

Liu Xiner, who was still playing with her, suddenly said, "My queen, why don't you invite a magic troupe to perform for the prince? Recently, a magic troupe from Xianchuan came to Chai'an and became very popular."

Meng Zhaoge felt that Liu Xiner was simply her savior.

She immediately boasted: "Yes, I have already ordered that magic troupe for the prince!"

Nanny Fang hesitated for a moment, but soon recovered and smiled, "In that case, thank you for your hard work. As long as you put your heart into it, the prince will surely see your true feelings for him."

Meng Zhaoge forced a smile: "Yes, yes..."

But as soon as Nanny Fang left, she immediately panicked.

She had never heard of that magic troupe. Moreover, Liu Xiner said that the troupe was very popular. How could she hire them?

"I should have known not to say it. It would have been easier to just say where to go for dinner than to invite this group of people." She was simply digging a hole for herself.

Mo Huan asked: "How about changing to another one?"

"I'm afraid Madam Fang has already told Concubine Lan. How can we change it?"

Liu Xiner thought for a moment and said, "My queen, if you send someone to invite him now, he should be able to come on the prince's birthday."

"After all, it was our palace that sent someone personally, so the magic troupe won't be so disrespectful."

Meng Zhaoge thought about it and said dejectedly: "That's the only way."

Not long after, she sent someone to Nanfu Lane to invite the Xianchuan magic troupe, which was packed with people.

But just as Meng Zhaoge expected, there were too many people and he couldn't see the boss.

The man from the palace waited for a long time, and finally when the magic troupe finished its performance, he saw a servant standing at the door.

So he told the boy his purpose.

"Since it is the Jingwang Mansion that has invited us, we must accept it." The servant said, "Just go back. We promise to be there on the 27th as scheduled."

"Okay, okay, then it's settled!" The servant in the palace was very happy. He gave the deposit and went back to report to Meng Zhaoge.

The boy shook the deposit, opened it and took a look, his eyes lit up instantly.

It really is a royal palace, so luxurious!

He took the silver, turned around and walked in a certain direction, his figure getting farther and farther away from Nanfu Alley.

Until it stopped in front of a big willow tree.

He entered the residence of General Mingxi.

After informing Meng Changning of this, Meng Changning rewarded him with a gold bar with satisfaction and whispered, "Well done, everything went according to plan."

...

I don't know how Yuwen Qi learned that Meng Zhaoge was going to prepare a birthday party for him. In the evening, Yuwen Qi came to Meiyuan.

However, he didn't say anything directly and asked in a roundabout way.

This annoyed Meng Zhaoge so much that he asked, "My Lord, what do you want to say?"

"This king's birthday banquet..."

"Madame Fang said that Mother wants me to take good care of things for you."

Meng Zhaoge said: "I plan to hire a magic troupe for you."

"..." Yuwen Qi paused, looking embarrassed: "That's not what I'm talking about."

"Can you, at that time, invite General Meng, Madam Meng, and...your sister?"

Meng Zhaoge was stunned.

It turns out that he has been pestering her here for a long time because he wants to get Meng Changning here.

Don't tell me earlier.

"Since it is the prince's wish, then I will do as he says." Meng Zhaoge was no longer jealous and she readily agreed.

Yu Wenqi seemed relieved, and his voice became lighter: "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"You're welcome, Your Majesty." She smirked.

After he left, Mo Huan was so angry that she said, "My queen, you let the prince do this. He clearly had selfish motives in inviting the young lady here."

"The eldest lady just framed you some time ago! Doesn't the prince know?"

"Let him be." Meng Zhaoge said calmly: "I have a feeling that there will be another big drama soon."

...

Time soon arrived on the 27th.

In the past few days, the palace has been busy with Yuwen Qi's birthday banquet under the command of Meng Zhaoge.

She asked people to set up a banquet in Xiuyue Hall, and then chose a place in front of the hall and built a small stage for the magician to perform.

Early in the morning, the guests who were invited to the banquet arrived one after another.

In addition to the Meng family, Yuwen Qi also hosted a banquet for several other brothers, but the last ones to come were only Prince Yong Yuwen Fei and Prince Qi Yuwen Xi.

The two men brought their princesses with them, Yuwen Fei's wife Pan, and Yuwen Xi's wife Ouyang.

Yuwenqi and Meng Zhaoge greeted the guests at the door. Yuwenqi greeted his brothers and exchanged some pleasantries. Meng Zhaoge didn't know the two princesses very well, so she just nodded slightly.

Ouyang also smiled at her.

But Mrs. Pan was not very kind to her.

Then, the Meng family came. However, Meng Qingyun did not attend the banquet today, and only his wife accompanied Meng Changning.

Meng Changning wore a pink dress today. She always liked brightly colored clothes, and this dress made her look even more radiant.

Meng Zhaoge immediately looked at Yuwen Qi.

Yu Wenqi's eyes lit up and he stepped forward immediately: "My son-in-law greets my mother-in-law."

"Your Highness." Madam Meng smiled and said eloquently, "First of all, I wish you a happy birthday."

He bumped into Meng Changning's elbow again.
