Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

“What a nice weather~”

On the tall and majestic city wall, Chen Jia looked at the concubine's carriage going away and suddenly sighed.

Under the bright and brilliant sunshine, an ancient horse-drawn carriage painted with palm oil slowly moved on the spacious white marble trail, stepping on the spots of golden light and disappearing at the end of the road.

Chen Jia was in a very happy mood, because she was able to change the fate of this small group of people and help them regain their freedom.

"Your Majesty, you are in a good mood." The Regent pointed this out with a happy smile.

Chen Jia said frankly, "Indeed, I am very happy today!" When they were alone, Chen Jia would not use words like "I" or "I" to distance themselves from each other. In fact, she was more accustomed to using "I".

"Your Majesty, you should go to the imperial study." The Regent also noticed the lady's choice of words. He felt subtly happy and spoke in a lonely voice.

Chen Jia jumped off the stool she was using for looking out, but there was no other way; the city wall was too high, and she couldn't see below the wall without the help of the stool.

She felt a little aggrieved and a little confused, "Does the birthday boy still have to work?"

Someone was very straightforward: "Your Majesty, your birthday is not yet..."

There is no room for conversation today!

Chen Jia turned around, lifted her skirt and ran down the city wall quickly.

"Your Majesty, don't do this!" The Regent frowned, and caught up with the Queen in a few steps. He stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around her arm. His eyes were stern, "The city is high and dangerous. Don't just focus on the front and forget the road ahead."

"..."

Chen Jia couldn't help but lower her head when he looked at her. She felt that she couldn't speak eloquently in front of this elder, so she remained silent.

The lady is in her prime and petite, and when they stand together, there is a natural height difference between them.

When she lowered her head, he could only see her whorl of hair, which was small and very cute.

The fashion of the Blue Bird Kingdom is complicated clothes and exquisite buns, but the queen is more accustomed to simple dressing, especially buns. When she is not attending court, she always combs her hair very simply.

Sometimes, it is simply tied with a headband without any hairpins or rings.

Even so, he would not think that the lady was unkempt, but instead thought she was elegant and refined.

The regent realized that his tone was too serious, so he softened his voice and said, "Your Majesty, it is my fault."

He didn't know that if he bowed his head once, he would do so countless times.

"?" Chen Jia had a big question mark on her forehead. Could anyone tell her what happened to the Regent when she bowed her head? Why did he admit his mistake for no apparent reason?

Could it be that I took the wrong medicine?

Chen Jia raised her face cautiously, her eyes full of confusion.

She tried to make amends for the Regent who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. Perhaps it was because the Regent took all the responsibility of raising her on himself that he felt sorry for not teaching her well?

Although it was far-fetched, Chen Jia really couldn't find a better explanation.

"Your Majesty, please let me follow you." The Regent knew her doubts and chose to ignore the question without any explanation.

He let Chen Jia walk in front, and he followed closely behind her, only one step away.

"...Okay." Chen Jia did not run around at this moment. She walked obediently in front. As expected, she heard footsteps of the same frequency behind her. She was dazed for a moment.

Realizing that she was walking down the stairs, she immediately focused her attention and looked down at the road below her feet.

Qianyuan Hall.

On his birthday, the entire palace was as usual, except for the Qianyuan Hall, which the Ministry of Rites spent a lot of time and effort to renovate.

There are lights and decorations everywhere, and the various colored lanterns are gorgeous in shape, exquisite in workmanship, and dazzling.

The empty hall was divided into corresponding areas according to levels. Those with higher positions and more power were closer to His Majesty, while those with lower ranks sat in the corners.

Although His Majesty repeatedly stressed that the celebration should be kept simple, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to follow his instructions completely. They ingeniously arranged a magnificent dance performance and carefully selected twelve actors with outstanding dancing skills from the music troupe to take on this important task.

These graceful actors wore wide-sleeved, waisted skirts with fairy-like fluttering hair and had their hair combed in cloud-like buns. They danced gracefully, with hands as soft as silk and skin as white as cream. Every time they looked back or turned around, they were full of charm.

The ministers below were talking one by one and were watching with great interest.

Chen Jia held her chin in her hand and watched. She admired beautiful people and beautiful things.

The scene before my eyes was indeed pleasing to the eye.

However, she happened to glance at one of the ministers below and saw a confused look on his face, so she could not continue watching.

She looked around and her eyes met with another one halfway. After a brief hesitation, the other party raised his glass and gestured to her.

Chen Jia paused, released a smile, and then picked up the wine glass on the table, which was filled with a thin layer of crystal clear wine.

She leaned in to smell it and found the smell of alcohol was not strong, apparently the alcohol content was very low. She imitated the other person and took a gulp. She almost choked and it was a little spicy!

Don’t swallow it in one gulp!

Chen Jia put down the wine glass with lingering fear, stretched out her index finger and pushed it away.

The man laughed, put the wine glass to his lips in front of Chen Jia, drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression, and then put the glass down with a relaxed expression.

Chen Jia was furious and turned her head away from him.

After the beautiful opening dance ended, the children brought into the palace by the ministers were put to use. One played a piece of music he was good at, and another performed a sword dance.

If you don’t have some talent tonight, you’d feel embarrassed to follow your elders into the palace.

The girls showed off their skills, and the young men did not want to be outdone, so they all showed off their own magical powers.

What's more, they are facing a young female monarch whose throne is vacant and who may ascend to the throne at any time.

Chen Jia had no idea what the young men were thinking. She just felt that those young men who were posing in coquettish ways were an eyesore and she really couldn't appreciate their talents.

In the end, she simply held her forehead and pretended to be drunk, ending the celebration that started off well but ended badly ahead of schedule.

Originally, the young men who still had some confidence in themselves all looked a little disappointed, but when they thought that they were not favored and the same was true for others, they felt a little more comforted.

Your Majesty, I guess you haven't figured it out yet?

It’s definitely not their fault!

"May Your Majesty live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon!" The ministers shouted and watched the queen go away.

I had planned to return to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity to rest early, but halfway there the Regent sent someone to invite me to the gate where I left the palace last time, in the same carriage.

"Your Majesty, I will take you to celebrate your birthday." The Regent stood beside the carriage, leaned down and extended his hand to the queen.

Perhaps it was because the other person's smile was so dazzling that by the time Chen Jia reacted, the person was already sitting in the carriage.

She looked around and noticed that the interior of the carriage had changed a lot.

The originally cold wooden floor was luxuriously covered with a fluffy carpet.

The main seat is not only cushioned, but also has pillows.

On the small table by the window, there is an exquisite aromatherapy burner and matching teapots and cups.
