It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Jinghe? Am I dazzled?"

Before everyone came back to their senses, the emperor had already stood up and ran towards Princess Jinghe with joy in his eyes: "I am so happy. I didn't expect to see you at my birthday party."

"I, your humble sister, pay my respects to my royal brother. May you always have such a wonderful day like this one." Princess Jinghe did not just salute perfunctorily as usual. Instead, she squatted down and performed an extremely standard etiquette.

"Jinghe, get up quickly. You are well now, no need to be polite."

If the emperor really thought so, he would not have waited until Princess Jinghe finished her greetings before helping her up: "I will take you to see the queen mother. The queen mother was just talking to me about you."

"I haven't seen my mother for so long, and I miss her a lot."

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked in front of the Queen Mother.

After Princess Jinghe paid her respects to the Queen Mother, she asked her to sit next to her and asked her about her recovery.

The civil and military officials who had been worried about what might happen heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the emperor and his family having so much fun, and continued to eat and drink.

Soon, it was time to present the gift.

The ministers started first.

Give a gift that you have carefully prepared.

The emperor was very happy and gave face to his ministers, giving them rewards one by one.

And now outside the palace gate.

Zhang Cong, the palace gate guard, looked at the two people in front of him and rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Lu, Young Marquis Lu, Madam Lu?"

Yuan Buwei took out a token from her sleeve and showed it to Zhang Cong: "This is the token from the Imperial Concubine's Palace. Can you let us in?"

"Ok, Ok."

Before Zhang Cong could move aside, the guard Liu Shun standing on the other side stopped them and said, "Today is the emperor's birthday banquet. The higher-ups have said that only invitations are accepted."

"Shunzi, what are you doing?" Zhang Cong was startled and hurried forward to explain to Liu Shun in a low voice, "He is the famous and famous Marquis Lu, and Madam Lu is holding the token of the Imperial Concubine's Palace. We have no right to stop him."

"The Wanning Marquis' family entered the palace an hour ago. If they didn't come then, why did they come now?" Liu Shun frowned, looked at the two and clasped his fists, "General He Zuo has instructed that there are many people here today, and as a palace gate guard, I must be on my guard. No one without an invitation will be allowed to enter the palace."

"Liu Shun, are you okay? Even if they don't have an invitation, they have the imperial concubine's token, and..."

"Rules are rules. They cannot be broken." Liu Shun glanced at Zhang Cong. "Your selfishness will bring disaster to everyone else."

"you……"

Zhang Cong was so angry that his face twitched a few times. He clasped his fists towards Lu Sui and Yuan Buwei and explained: "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask General Zhao You to come over now."

"Zhang Cong, why did you ask General Zhao You to come here? Do you want him to think that we can't even do such a small thing?" Liu Shun stopped Zhang Cong who was about to leave and pressed forward.

"Liu Shun, we are just guards guarding the palace gates. If there are things that we cannot solve within our power, we naturally have to ask our superiors for help." Fortunately, Zhang Cong was a few years older than Liu Shun, and he understood the right and wrong. "The emperor is the master, and the imperial concubine is also the master."

After saying that, Zhang Cong shook off Liu Shun's hand and turned to find General Zhao You.

"This Zhang Cong should be General Zhao's man, while Liu Shun is General He's man. They have always been incompatible."

Yuan Buwei heard Lu Sui's whispered explanation in her ears.

"From your tone, it seems you are very familiar with them?" Yuan Buwei squatted down and asked Lu Sui.

Lu Sui chuckled, stared at Yuan Buwei and said, "If I tell you, they wanted to join the Gale Camp before, but I rejected them."

"Ah?" Yuan Buwei's face showed some surprise, "There is such an episode?

"Well, the left and right gate guards are one of the sixteen guards. Those who can serve there are not ordinary people. Those who can become generals must have extraordinary family backgrounds. I rejected them for two reasons. First, I felt that they could not endure hardships. Second, if something happened on the battlefield, I would not be able to explain to their families. So I rejected the two of them. As a result, they thought I was looking down on them and took the initiative to challenge me in a duel."

"One-on-one?" Yuan Buwei was shocked again, "What's the result?"

"I don't bully people, so I let them attack together. But they thought I was insulting them and insisted on attacking one by one..." Lu Sui thought about the past and still found it a little funny. "Then, I beat them to a pulp. From then on, I had a grudge against them. Later, they followed their family's wishes and joined the left and right prison guards. But I heard later that they had a quarrel and it seems that they haven't reconciled until now. Whenever they meet, they will quarrel within three sentences. As time goes on, their subordinates will naturally compete with each other secretly."

“They are two interesting people.”

As Yuan Buwei was speaking, she saw someone walking quickly towards her and she stood up immediately.

"land……"

The person who approached was the Right General of Zhao - Zhao Chuchuan.

"General Zhao You, long time no see." Lu Sui looked up and greeted him openly.

Zhao Chuchuan swallowed and stared at Lu Sui without moving, his face full of disbelief.

"General Zhao You, the young marquis and I are in a hurry to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Can you please be flexible..."

"I will escort you in personally."

Yuan Buwei:?

"No need, I know the way, so I won't bother..."

"No trouble." Before Lu Sui could finish, he was interrupted by Zhao Chuchuan. He even walked behind Lu Sui's wheelchair and said, "Madam Lu, I will push Young Marquis Lu away."

Yuan Buwei glanced at Lu Sui and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."

Liu Shun couldn't understand what was happening. He was about to speak out to stop it, but Zhang Cong quickly stopped him and said, "If you don't want to be beaten up by General He Zuo, don't meddle in other people's business."

"How is this considered meddling?"

Liu Shun stared, but he was held tightly by Zhang Cong and could only watch the three people pass through the palace gate.

Until after one stick of incense.

When he saw General He Zuo coming hurriedly, he immediately shook off Zhang Cong's hand and went up to complain.

As soon as he finished speaking, he got slapped in the face.

"He, General He Zuo, you..."

"You stopped them, why didn't you send someone to inform me?" General He Zuo's face twitched with anger. "How long have they been in there?"

"Just now, I just went in not long ago."

"I'll deal with you when I come back."

After General He Zuo finished speaking, he quickly chased after him.

"Liu Shun, what did I say? I told you not to meddle in other people's business. Now you got slapped in the face for nothing, right?" Zhang Cong shook his head, ignored Liu Shun's aggrieved look, and continued to stand guard at his post.

When Yuan Buwei and Lu Sui arrived outside the hall.

Inside the palace, it was Marquis Wanning's turn to present gifts to the emperor.

For a moment, everyone present focused their attention on him.
