Song Yushu almost forgot when her birthday was. After all, she had lived two lives, and she felt even more humble and insignificant here, as she had never celebrated her birthday before.
"How do you know my birthday?" Song Yushu was a little surprised. After all, even she herself couldn't remember her birthday in this life.
"Madam Zhang told me so." Lu Zhixing held Song Yushu's hand. "I didn't touch that woman last night. I know what you're worried about, and I won't touch other women in the future."
"But..." Song Yushuhui held Lu Zhixing's hand, "This is difficult, Ah Xing, I don't want you to become the laughing stock of the whole capital."
To be honest, in ancient times, if a family did not have one or two concubines or one or two maids, they would be looked down upon. This is the sadness of the times, and it cannot be changed by one or two people.
Lu Zhixing didn't really care. He shook his head slightly and said, "Ashu, men want to be with one person for life more than women do. I want it even more than them."
"But you want to go up—" Song Yushu stopped mid-sentence and looked around. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Lu Zhixing sat down next to Song Yushu and hugged her. "Ah Shu, you are the best. No one can compare to you. There is no way I can let you down."
This is what scumbag men usually say when they swear, but Song Yushu feels that he should still give Lu Zhixing a chance. After all, there are not many men who can say this proactively. As long as he is not a second-hand rose, it is good news for Song Yushu now.
Together, the two opened the gifts sent by Lu Zhixing. There were all kinds of gifts inside, from those for children with pigtails to those for young girls in their prime, including silks, satins, jewelry, and gold and silver.
You know what, seeing so many good things is of course a joy, but Lu Zhixing is showing these things off in the streets, and I’m afraid that Song Yushu’s name will become famous in Kyoto.
Sure enough, when Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing were riding in the carriage back home, they could hear the discussions outside the carriage.
"Everyone says that the girl from the northern border is King Jing's true love. But if you ask me, Eunuch Song is the apple of his eye! It's just a birthday, and he gave me so many goodies."
"That's what I saw. The boxes were so heavy to carry in one by one!"
"Then isn't Eunuch Song living in the same residence as Prince Jing? Is there any need for him to come out and flaunt himself?"
"You don't know this, right? Prince Jing favors eunuchs. Once this news gets out, who would dare to send a girl to Prince Jing's mansion?"
"Hey, look! That's someone from the Prince's Mansion!"
Lu Zhixing frowned and looked out the window, just in time to see people from the Prince's Mansion stopping in front of the mansion gate with a lot of things.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Jing. This is a letter that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered me to deliver to Eunuch Song at his residence, wishing him a happy birthday."
My goodness, the number of these boxes is no less than what Lu Zhixing sent. His face turned black on the spot.
First, the prince was always trying to find opportunities to take advantage of him, and second, the only copy of the book he gave to Song Yu was broken, and that damn Lu Yanzhou actually gave him an identical copy, which was a gift from childhood!
Seeing that Prince Jing was silent, the visitor was very tactful and directly passed Lu Zhixing and came to Song Yushu. "Eunuch Song, you are truly unique in the capital. Thank you quickly."
As a small official in Prince Jing's Palace, Song Yushu really had to express her gratitude. Lu Yanzhou's move was to force Song Yushu to make her power public.
However, Song Yushu had been planning this for so long that he was not really afraid to put it on the table. This also meant that Lu Zhixing had truly announced to the world that he was going to participate in the fight for the throne.
"Your servant thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I will prepare a birthday banquet soon and will certainly thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a good way." Song Yushu suddenly came up with a plan and looked at the people in the Crown Prince's Mansion with a smile.
This man had bullied Song Yushu together with Xia Xingde at the mansion at that time. Seeing that Song Yushu was now favored by both families, he was really jealous.
"Well, that's great, Your Highness Prince Jing. I have official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." He ran away when he couldn't get the argument going, and he was quite fast at running.
Lu Zhixing looked at the boxes blocking the way and became more and more angry. He raised his foot and kicked the boxes over. "Why don't you pack them up?! Are you deliberately leaving them on the road to block my way?!"
That's jealous!
I didn't expect Eunuch Song to be so popular. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent me gifts on my birthday.
Song Yushu had no choice but to follow him and say, "He just wants to force me to appear in front of others. Why are you angry?"
"This is an idea I thought about all night, and this guy stole it." How could Lu Zhixing not be angry? This was the first time he was so serious about giving Song Yushu a unique gift.
"Isn't it because you're too ostentatious? Why not give it to me at home? It's normal for people to see it when you go out?" Song Yushu covered his mouth and smiled, "Speaking of which, a birthday party is inevitable."
Lu Zhixing snorted softly, "Can't I, the Chief Secretary of Prince Jing's Palace, celebrate my birthday? Let's do it! Let's do it in a big way!"
Now Lu Zhixing's reputation is getting higher and higher, which is not a good thing. After all, the prince is still alive, and the healthy Prince Yu is still alive.
It's time to use this birthday party to impeach the censors, so that the surveillance forces from all sides can relax a little.
You see, not long after Lu Zhixing prepared the things and sent them out, they were all copied by someone. This means that Prince Jing's Mansion has been targeted by someone.
For the sake of the prince's reputation, the emperor will definitely take action against him and will never allow a "disabled" prince to have a higher reputation than the prince.
Instead of passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative. At least you can control the weight of the whip!
"Okay, let's do it!" Song Yushu agreed with a smile, pouring a cup of tea and bringing it to Lu Zhixing's mouth. "Don't be angry, it will make you look ugly."
After hearing this, Lu Zhixing snorted and drank the cup of tea from Song Yushu's hand.
For the next few days, the servants in Prince Jing's mansion were busy as hell, working tirelessly for Song Yushu's birthday.
I have never seen a servant's birthday celebrated so grandly, especially when it was hosted by Prince Jing himself.
He never even attended court, but would ask about the birthday party whenever he saw someone. From big things like the guest list to small things like a pot of flowers at the banquet venue, he would make a fuss about it several times.
Even when loyal court officials came to persuade him, Lu Zhixing turned a deaf ear to them and only wanted to organize a birthday party for his "favorite".
Even the empress dowager heard about it and issued three oral orders before Lu Zhixing was summoned into the palace.
"Pu'er hasn't come to see the Empress Dowager for a long time. Why do you want to leave now?" The Empress Dowager looked at Lu Zhixing who looked upset and wanted to leave, and coughed lightly.
