[Mom's birthday? How did Dad know?]

Yu Yiluo stole a glance at the emperor.

Daddy, who doesn't care about Mom at all, actually remembers her birthday, but I can't. I feel so guilty.

[I've been so engrossed in reading lately that I forgot something so important.]

In fact, the emperor couldn't remember Concubine Xian's birthday at all. He only knew that today was Concubine Xian's birthday when he accidentally heard Concubine De and Concubine Shu discussing how to celebrate Concubine Xian's birthday.

"Daddy, look for uncle."

Yu Yiluo tugged at the emperor's sleeve and looked at him with blinking eyes.

[No birthday gift is better than having your family and mother have a meal together.]

The emperor raised his voice and said, "Go to the general's mansion."

Eunuch Cao responded with a "yes" and raised the corners of his lips. The emperor is becoming more and more humane.

He actually considered Empress Xian so much.

The carriage slowly drove towards the general's mansion. The emperor got off the carriage holding Yu Yiluo and strode towards the general's mansion. Seeing this, the people in the general's mansion hurried to the main hall to tell General Jin.

Upon hearing this, General Jin stood up and went out with Jin Ting'an to greet the emperor.

"Get up quickly, no need to be polite."

The emperor raised his hand to help General Jin up and walked into the house.

"The Emperor came to the General's Mansion, is it because something happened to Empress Xian?"

Sitting on the chair, General Jin asked with some concern.

"Dad wants my uncle and grandfather to come to the palace to have dinner with mother."

Yu Yiluo walked up to General Jin and said, "Today is mother's birthday."

She spoke short sentences clearly, but long sentences were a bit unclear.

The emperor saw that the two of them didn't seem to understand what she said, so he helped repeat Yu Yiluo's words.

General Jin was startled, and a smile appeared on his old face. "I see. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome. Go change your clothes and come into the palace with me."

The two of them quickly changed their clothes and came back to the palace with the emperor.

…

At this time, Empress Xian was sitting on the chaise longue, reading the book in her hand seriously, and she had no idea that her brother and father had entered the palace.

Nanny Zhang walked up to Concubine Xian and whispered, "Your Majesty, today is your birthday. Let me cook you a bowl of longevity noodles."

Concubine Xian paused in her book-turning movements and turned her head to look at Aunt Zhang. "I almost forgot about this. When I was a child, my mother always cooked longevity noodles for me on my birthday."

She slowly closed the Liguoji book in her hand and put it aside.

"This servant and Madam have learned how to make this dish. The taste of the dish will not disappoint Madam."

"Okay, Mammy, go and cook."

Nanny Zhang left and Concubine Xian looked at Hua Rui.

"Go to the imperial study and bring Luo'er back for dinner."

Luo'er has been reading books recently. Even though Concubine Xian knows that she likes reading, she still feels sorry for her and doesn't want her to be so tired.

"I heard that the little princess has left the palace."

"Leaving the palace?"

Concubine Xian chuckled, "Then there's no need to look for her."

It was a good thing for her to go out of the palace to relax, which was better than staying in the imperial study reading all day.

"But the Emperor seems to have left the palace to look for the little princess."

Empress Xian put away the smile on her face and frowned slightly.

Did the Emperor want Luo'er to be happy just like him, spending all day in the Imperial Study? He even went out of the palace to catch Luo'er.

While she was thinking, footsteps were heard outside, and then Yu Yiluo's voice rang in Concubine Xian's ears.

[My mother must be very happy to see my uncle and grandfather. Celebrating a birthday with family is more meaningful.]

Although I feel bad for forgetting my mother's birthday, I invited my uncle and grandfather, so it can be considered a good thing.

Concubine Xian stood up, feeling a bit amused and helpless, and the emperor and his companions had already walked in.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Yu Yiluo ran forward and helped Concubine Xian up, "Mother, look who I brought with me?"

Empress Xian rubbed her head and said, "Thank you, Luo'er."

Then he looked at the emperor again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Without the emperor's permission, my father and brother would not be able to enter the harem.

"You're welcome. I still have some memorials to review. Come back later."

After saying this, the emperor turned and left.

Daddy must be worried about me feeling constrained by my uncle and grandfather, but he's quite considerate. He's showing more and more potential to be a gentleman.

emperor:"……"

Wasn't he considerate before?

I left because I really wanted to give the three of them some space to talk. Now that they have entered the palace, there is no harm in helping them.

After the emperor left, General Jin said, "Daddy, would you please make Yao'er the longevity noodles that your mother made for you when you were a child?"

Since his daughter entered the palace, he had never had the chance to celebrate her birthday. He thought that he would never have such an opportunity in his life. He did not expect that the emperor would come to his house today and take them to the palace to have dinner with his daughter.

"I'm already very happy that Daddy and Brother can come to eat with us. As for the longevity noodles, Mammy has already gone to cook them."

"That's good. Your mother taught her. It must taste more like your mother's cooking than your father's."

"Dad and brother, please sit down first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food."

She thought she was alone again, so she decided to just eat something.

After giving instructions to the kitchen, Empress Xian came back and poured hot tea for the two of them and asked about Jin Ting's well-being.

"I heard that my brother is training new soldiers recently. Be careful to protect yourself and don't get hurt by swords."

"Don't worry, sister." Jin Ting'an smiled. "Those little brats can't hurt me. As long as you and Luo'er are doing well in the palace, father and I can do anything without any worries."

"I'm doing well in the palace, as you've seen. Luo'er talks a lot now, so you don't have to worry about me."

General Jin glanced at Yu Yiluo who was standing beside him. "Luo'er is so cute, she even calls me grandpa. They say daughters are like little cotton-padded jackets. Look at your brother, he just stays in the barracks all day long."

Before, I had to worry about my daughter's situation in the palace. Now my daughter is doing well, but my son seems to have not mentioned anything about the future because of Jiang's matter.

"Maybe it's fate for my brother, so there's no need to worry too much. When fate arrives, maybe he'll figure it out himself."

"Sister, you're right," Jin Ting'an said, changing the subject. "A good man has ambitions, and right now, of course, the most important thing is to train the new recruits."

[Hehe, what mother said is right. After the New Year, my aunt will come to Beijing. That will be the time for my uncle to find his true love. I'll wait and see if my uncle is really good. I love such a beautiful aunt so much.]

Empress Xian curled her lips, becoming more and more curious about what kind of woman her future sister-in-law would be.

"Uncle," Yu Yiluo walked to Jin Ting'an, "I will come to you after the New Year to do something important."

"A big thing?" Jin Ting'an was amused by her serious look and held her on his lap. "Luo'er, tell me, what big thing do you want your uncle to do?"

"Keep it a secret for now."

"Okay, keep it a secret."

As she was speaking, Aunt Zhang had already had the prepared dishes brought in.

Finally, he placed the prepared longevity noodles in front of Concubine Xian, "Your Majesty, please eat."
