As soon as Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing appeared in the courtyard, the eldest princess covered her mouth and teased, "Ninth brother, you are really good at recruiting this little eunuch!"
How could a eunuch have his birthday and have the princes and princesses come to celebrate? This had never happened in the Dayan Dynasty or even in history.
"It's really good." Lu Zhixing didn't consciously restrain himself, and there was even a hint of pride in his expression.
The eldest princess: “…”
"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, and His Royal Highness Prince Yu. It is my fault that I disturbed you all on my small birthday." Song Yushu first bowed to them, and then looked very nervous.
"Oh, that's wrong. We're just here to join in the fun." Lu Zhichen took the initiative to help Song Yushu up. "We've been busy lately, so it's good to relax."
Lu Yanzhou glanced at Lu Zhichen. He was really good at taking credit for others' work. He smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you are really good at talking. Little Songzi, do you like my birthday gift?"
Speaking of birthday gifts, Lu Zhixing's hands moved and his facial expression was a little unnatural, but it was just that there were too many people around and he didn't want to show it.
"How dare I not be happy? It's my fault that such a small birthday disturbed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so worried." Song Yushu had to thank him again and again.
There is nothing original about the gift giving. It's just a copycat. No one would like it. And you still ask?
"As long as you like it." Lu Yanzhou looked at Lu Zhixing's face and raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction. "By the way, what's the big idea for today's birthday?"
"It's just a small birthday for me, so I just invited some friends to come and have some fun, eat, drink, listen to music and watch dance." Song Yushu's birthday party was indeed a forced event, and he didn't spend much thought on it.
Song Chun and Yanhong are in charge of everything, as long as it looks acceptable, it's fine.
Anyway, they came to the banquet with only two purposes. One was to please Lu Zhixing, whose strength was gradually recovering, and the other was to bribe Song Yushu.
"This is where I have to talk about you." Lu Zhichen was furious when he saw Lu Yanzhou and Song Yushu chatting happily, and he started to criticize them directly. "Ninth brother, you've had eye problems for years, how can you see any singing and dancing? Why don't you organize a banquet of poetry and songs? It shows that you haven't been very thoughtful."
No one knew whether Lu Zhichen came to celebrate the birthday or to disrupt things. When he said this, everyone present except him looked grim.
Lu Zhichen's words were too harsh. No matter how humble Song Yushu's status was, you came here to congratulate him. And now you come here to preach to him. It's really uncomfortable.
"You are not the king, how do you know that I don't like it?" Lu Zhixing was the first one who couldn't help but feel unhappy. It was ok for this brother to be unhappy with him since he was a child, but why did he bring it up with Ah Shu?
Lu Yanzhou also nodded, "Ninth brother is right."
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the eldest princess had to step forward to smooth things over. "Alright, alright, you brothers never stop talking. Let's go listen to some music and watch some dancing. Don't spoil the birthday boy's fun."
The last few people went to the main venue of the banquet with bad looks on their faces, and naturally knelt down again. Song Yushu followed behind them and sighed.
No wonder everyone likes power. It is indeed very comfortable to see people who look down on you kneeling down.
Lu Zhichen spent the entire night finding fault, and every minute he was talking about how it would be done if it were handled by his Prince Yu's Mansion.
Lu Yanzhou and Lu Zhixing formed a rare united front to squeeze Lu Zhichen, while the eldest princess was tired of mediating in the middle. In the end, she simply shut her mouth and concentrated on watching the dance.
She even took advantage of the three brothers being sour on each other to grab Song Yushu and secretly ask him, "This dance is quite novel. Where did you find it?"
Song Yushu took one look at the male dancer on the stage with shining eyes and knew that the princess was infatuated with him again. This was the sword dance arranged by Liu Xia, and the dancer's movements looked awe-inspiring yet graceful.
"The head of Yuzhu Pavilion must have some friendship with me, so..." Song Yushu didn't finish his words, knowing that the eldest princess seemed to be interested in Liu Xia recently.
However, the eldest princess was several years older than Liu Xia, and she was afraid that others would spread gossip and displease the emperor, so she did not dare to invite Liu Xia to her home openly.
When the eldest princess heard Song Yushu say that he had a friendship with Liu Xia, her eyes not only lit up, but they almost emitted laser light.
"Has the headmaster arrived?" The princess looked around. "I'm a little tired of watching those girls dancing lately."
"As long as the princess likes it, I can notify the person in charge and ask him to send dancers to the princess's house to perform a dance, which will also make the princess happy." Song Yushu didn't want Liu Xia to come to his house and serve him with her beauty. He had retired long ago.
Seeing Song Yushu's slow learning, the princess became anxious. "These dancers look okay, but they lack experience. They still need some experience to become good dancers!"
"Then I will ask the head of Yuzhu Pavilion to see if there are any suitable dancers." Song Yushu did not respond at all. In her eyes, Liu Xia was like a younger brother, and the eldest princess was just acting on a whim.
Provoking such a powerful person would only bring harm to Liu Xia, not benefit.
The princess's face turned cold, realizing that Song Yushu was pretending to be ignorant. She lowered her voice and said, "Eunuch Song, your reputation has risen rapidly recently, and the emperor is very dissatisfied. I can persuade you, as long as you..."
She didn't finish her words, but she believed Song Yushu could understand.
Song Yushu's lips curled up slightly, and he looked directly into the eyes of the princess. "Thank you for your kindness, princess. I appreciate it."
