Chapter 60: Birthday Celebration at Duke Dingguo's Mansion

Early in the morning, Su Lingyue began to dress up carefully.

She chose a goose yellow Shu brocade coat with wide sleeves, paired with a white soft satin skirt and a wide white belt, which highlighted her slender waist. She also wore a mutton-fat jade hairpin on her head and mutton-fat jade pendants on her ears.

A touch of bright red lipstick made the already bright and beautiful Su Lingyue even more charming.

After breakfast, Su Lingyue began to prepare gifts to give to the old lady on her birthday.

When they arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion, Su Lingyue asked the servant to pick out the boxes that the three of them looked a bit old.

Caidie Caiyi looked at the three boxes and was a little shocked. "Miss, are you sure you want to send these three boxes of Shu brocade fabric? It's been more than ten years!"

Su Lingyue looked at the three boxes carried out by the servant and said with a smile, "Well, let's give this one as a gift. This one box was worth a fortune back then, let alone three boxes. It would be very prestigious if we gave them away."

As for the inside, I can't care so much.

Having seen the empty boxes brought back three days ago, Caidie Caiyi could easily accept her young lady's behavior.

Ji Tang wanted to follow Su Lingyue, but Su Lingyue thought that his wanted order had only been issued not long ago and it would be safer for him to stay in the mansion, so she did not agree to let him follow.

When Su Lingyue arrived at Muyunxuan, Xiao Yu was already dressed and waiting for her.

Xiao Yu was wearing a black wide-sleeved coat today, paired with a black cross-collared soft satin robe with narrow sleeves, a black belt of the same material embroidered with gold patterns, and the collar was also embroidered with the same pattern in gold thread. He had a white jade pendant on his waist and a white jade crown on his head.

With his sword-like eyebrows, deep eyes and jade-like face, he looked extremely noble, yet a bit oppressive.

"Your Highness." Su Lingyue called softly.

Xiao Yu looked up and saw Su Lingyue coming. Perhaps because he was used to seeing Su Lingyue with a sickly look in the past month, he was stunned for a moment when he suddenly saw such a bright and beautiful person today.

But it only lasted for a moment, and soon he returned to normal.

Xiao Yu said to Su Lingyue calmly: "Come here."

Su Lingyue didn't understand and walked a little closer to Xiao Yu.

Su Lingyue was puzzled, "Prince, is there anything else?"

Xiao Yu did not say anything, but opened the rosewood box on the table, inside which was a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets.

It was the pair that Su Lingyue returned to Xiao Yu last time.

Xiao Yu took Su Lingyue's slender white hand with his cool and slender big hand and put the pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets on her.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Su Lingyue's heart was beating fast, and she had no idea what to do about Xiao Yu's intimate behavior.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "This is a gift from my mother. In such an occasion, I must bring it with me to show respect."

As Xiao Yu spoke, his slightly cold big hand let go of Su Lingyue's hand.

Su Lingyue's cheeks turned red. Xiao Yu had never taken the initiative to hold her hand. The sudden ambiguous atmosphere made her a little overwhelmed.

Xiao Yu stood up, looked at Su Lingyue, whose cheeks and ears were red, and said softly, "Let's go."

Su Lingyue blushed and got into the carriage with Xiao Yu.

Inside the carriage, Su Lingyue gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and the feeling of joy filled her heart.

Xiao Yu looked at Su Lingyue who was still stroking the bracelet in a daze, and asked gently: "Do you like this pair of bracelets so much?"

Su Lingyue came back to her senses after hearing what Xiao Yu said, and nodded: "Yeah, I like it."

Xiao Yu curled his lips slightly and asked, "What gift did you prepare?"

Su Lingyue heard this and chuckled, "Three boxes of Shu brocade fabric."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yu knew that Su Lingyue brought back a bunch of empty boxes when she returned home three days ago. Why did she change her temper this time?

Su Lingyue saw Xiao Yu's puzzled expression and immediately explained: "Ten years ago!"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that. She really had some skills.

When they arrived at the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the carriage stopped. Xiao Yu got off first, followed by Su Lingyue. Xiao Yu, who got off first, extended a hand to Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue was stunned. Xiao Yu was going to help her.

At this moment, my heart, which had not yet calmed down, started beating even faster.

Su Lingyue's hand, as slender and soft as a water chestnut, was placed in Xiao Yu's slightly cool palm. Xiao Yu held it gently, pulled Su Lingyue off the carriage, and then let go.

In another carriage, several servants carried boxes into the palace. Xiao Yu looked at Yan Qing, who was dressed as a servant, and Yan Qing nodded.

Su Xiuyuan and Su Mingyi were welcoming guests at the gate of the mansion. When they saw Su Lingyue, their eyes were full of indifference and alienation.

"Welcome, Your Majesty, Princess!" The tone was still respectful.

Su Lingyue said calmly: "Brother, there is no need to be polite. Get up."

Although they appeared polite, Su Lingyue knew that she no longer had any kinship with her two brothers and they were only maintaining a superficial relationship.

"Prince Su, the princess is here!"

Following the announcement from the eunuch sent from the palace, everyone in the courtyard looked towards the door.

The two god-like people walked in slowly from the door, and everyone knelt down to greet them.

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Everyone, please stand up." Then he and Su Lingyue came to the hall.

In the hall, the old lady sat in the main seat, wearing a dark blue embroidered birthday dress and a dark blue embroidered velvet headband, looking like an old lady from a wealthy family.

But the old lady's face was crooked, her mouth was twisted, and her right hand was clenched, as if she had suffered a stroke.

But when she saw Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, her eyes kept moving, and her mouth opened and closed as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

Su Heng and Xue Man, who were sitting on one side, and Xiao Changshi and Su Nanxing, who were sitting on the other side, knelt down respectfully and saluted when they saw the two men coming.

"Welcome, Prince, Princess!"

"Greetings to the Emperor's uncle and aunt!"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Stand up."

He hid his expression well and didn't show any disgust at all.

The birthday person is the most important, Xiao Yu bowed and saluted, Su Lingyue also bowed and saluted, the two did not kneel down, no one present could bear it.

Su Lingyue pretended not to understand and asked, "Father, what happened to grandma?"

Su Heng looked slightly cold and said, "Your grandmother had a stroke, a common disease for the elderly, don't worry."

"Yes, father." Su Lingyue answered respectfully, as if she had never lost heart.

Before Su Lingyue went out, she casually glanced at Xiao Changshi, only to see that Xiao Changshi was also looking at her, and he understood what was going on.

Su Lingyue then left the hall with Xiao Yu.

After leaving the hall, Su Lingyue approached Xiao Yu and whispered, "Your Majesty, the old lady's stroke may not be simple. Did you see her eyes rolling around just now?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Yeah, I noticed."

Su Lingyue said, "I will find a chance to check his pulse later. Also, Xiao Changshi may come to see me later, and I will meet him. Your Highness, please go to the hall first."

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu's frowning brows and his unhappy expression, and knew what he was worried about.

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu, smiled and said soothingly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

Hearing Su Lingyue say this, Xiao Yu's expression eased a little.

"Be careful yourself."

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he walked towards the men's hall in the front yard, and Su Lingyue walked towards the women's area in the back yard.

After walking a few steps, he saw Xiao Changshi following him out.
