Suzaku Hall.

"My beauty, the day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, and the palace maids have already started hanging up lanterns and decorations to prepare for the birthday celebration.

You should go to bed early these days.

At the hour of Mao on the day after tomorrow, Your Majesty will be the first to present gifts to the Empress Dowager on her birthday.

Next is the Queen,

Next came the Imperial Concubine Yi with Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess and Shi Liangren with His Royal Highness the Grand Prince.

Then came Yingpin, Zhenpin and the rest of the beauties, talented ladies and good ladies.

Although you, my beauty, are the last among the imperial concubines to pay birthday tributes and present gifts,

But we have to wait in front of the gate of Ci'an Palace before His Majesty arrives there.

The attire for the birthday banquet is elaborate and solemn.

So we have to get up and dress up at Yinshi (3 to 5 a.m.)," Huaixu reminded him carefully.

Meng Xinghe hugged the soft homemade pillow and nodded obediently.

"After congratulating you on your birthday and presenting you with gifts, your Majesty will not remain in Ci'an Palace forever.

But you, my beauty, and the other ladies need to stay in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother.

At that time, all the officials would file into the palace and arrive outside Ci'an Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

You must not move around casually during this period.

With so many people coming and going, it is easy to bump into others, and I am also afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Our own people are not important enough. If we really have to get up and leave, we have to drag the other ladies along to act together.

There is also tea.

Just take a sip from time to time. No one will mind how much tea you have left.

I am not afraid that someone might be so bold as to poison Ci'an Palace.

It’s just that it’s really inconvenient to change clothes.”

"Of course, all the civil and military officials were outside the palace paying respects to the birthday. At this time, it was not only the concubines from the harem who were sitting in the palace.

The concubines of Jing'an Palace will also come together to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager.

The most important imperial concubine among them is Lin Gui, the imperial concubine of Ningxin Palace. There is no need to worry about the rest, as they will follow Lin Gui and act together.

After celebrating the birthday and presenting gifts, the concubines would return to Jing'an Palace to wait for the dinner, or stay. It was uncertain.

There were also ladies from other clans, who entered the palace with the officials.

Those with higher status and closer relationships would stay in Ci'an's palace.

Like your Majesty's aunt, the Grand Princess of Jin (Chapter 1 and Chapter 25),

Your Majesty's eldest sister, Her Royal Highness Princess of Korea (Chapter 25), third sister, Her Royal Highness Princess of Zheng, and fourth sister, Her Royal Highness Princess of Xu (Chapters 7 and 25),

(No need to turn back, those chapters just mentioned their existence briefly.)

Your Majesty's sister, Princess Qi,

Your Majesty's aunt, Lady Cheng'en, and two cousins ​​will also stay.

You need to cheer up and not be disrespectful."

(Unmarried princesses, princesses-in-law and princesses-in-law are considered as inner ladies, while married princesses, princesses-in-law and princesses-in-law are considered as outer ladies)

Huai Xu was a little worried because Meng Xinghe was more than five months pregnant. If something happened at this time, it would not only be a question of whether the fetus could be saved, but even her own life would be in danger.

Meng Xinghe's status as a beauty is equivalent to that of a third-rank county marquis.

The rank of your Majesty's sister, the eldest princess, is equivalent to the first-rank duke.

Every princess can surpass the beauty Meng Xinghe.

There is no guarantee that all the princesses have good tempers.

Although Meng Xinghe was pregnant, it was like she was wearing an obvious amulet on her face.

But this doesn't mean you can relax.

At times like this, I’m afraid of bad people, but I’m even more afraid of stupid people.

"Doesn't your majesty have four sisters? And there is also a princess who is the second oldest?"

"The eldest princess, who was the second in line to the throne, has passed away. My beauty, please only ask me this once.

The Queen Mother's feast day is approaching, so don't mention those bad things anymore."

Huai Xu reminded with a frown.

"Okay, I understand."

Meng Xinghe nodded heavily twice again.

"Her Royal Highness, the Grand Princess of Jin, is your Majesty's aunt. She just celebrated her sixtieth birthday last year. She is highly respected.

The Queen Mother respects her. You must treat her with respect and humility. Don't offend her easily.

Her Royal Highness Princess of Korea is your Majesty's eldest sister, the eldest daughter of the late emperor's first wife, with a gentle and pure temperament.

Her Royal Highness Princess Zheng and Her Royal Highness Princess Xu are both the Queen Mother's daughters and are your Majesty's sisters from the same mother.

Her Royal Highness Princess Qi is the adopted daughter of Concubine Lin Gui, and the daughter of the late Concubine Chen. When the late emperor was alive, he doted on her because of Concubine Chen. She was a spoiled girl known to everyone in the palace.

This is all I know. You have to figure out the details of our relationship yourself."

Huai Xu played out in his mind over and over again.

"After all the officials have paid their respects to the Queen Mother and left, there will be various performances in the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. The performances will last for a whole day.

At that time, we can find an opportunity to leave and take a rest, change clothes and makeup, and wait for the party in the evening.

In the past, the night banquet was the highlight. "

Meng Xinghe was overwhelmed by what he heard.

"Have you prepared to inspect the gift for the Queen Mother?"

"My beauty, the gifts have been checked. I will check them again when you are dressing up that day. The two alternatives have also been put away."

Meng Xinghe discovered that Huai Xu was a truly cautious person, doing things flawlessly and meticulously in every aspect.

I can’t live without it, I really can’t live without it!

It has been more than three months, almost four months since she found out she was pregnant. She has been hiding quietly in her own Suzaku Palace and has never gone out unless it is necessary.

Huai Xu arranged everything for her.

Almighty housekeeper, I really love it.

"I will think about it in the next two days and see if there is anything else I want to add.

Don't worry, my beauty. Your first priority is to take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly.

It doesn't matter if you can't remember these today. I will go over them again for you on the feast day."
