"That's right." Lu Zhixing nodded, "But Father needs an opportunity. Otherwise, he just demoted Prince Yu, and suddenly promoted him back. It will inevitably cause gossip."
"Not only will it cause gossip, but it will also be difficult to explain to Concubine Yu." Song Yushu slammed the table and stood up. "You give me this opportunity. First, you can do the emperor a favor, and second, you can confuse the Lin family!"
"That's right, the Lin family took my things, it's time to return them." Lu Zhixing raised an eyebrow and blew on the teacup in his hand. "If they can deceive me, I can deceive them too."
Confident men are the most attractive. Lu Zhixing was already good-looking enough, and Song Yushu couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up, "You're worthy of being my man."
Lu Zhixing's ears suddenly turned red, and he even choked a little, "Cough cough cough."
"Be careful." Song Yushu pretended to calm Lu Zhixing down and changed the subject, "Should this be held at your birthday party?"
Lu Zhixing nodded with red ears, "Yes, and only at this time can the emperor, the Lin family, and even Prince Yu be present."
"Then this birthday party must be held well." Song Yushu nodded.
They said that it would be held well, but in fact, the prince's birthday party had its own standards, and Lu Zhixing had already reached adulthood, so it was no longer a coming-of-age party, and there would not be any major ceremonies to be held. Everything had its own rules.
Song Yushu didn't even participate much. It was Song Chun who was busy with the birthday banquet in the palace a few days later with his men.
Although it wasn't a coming-of-age party, it was the birthday party that Lu Zhixing and Song Yushu truly celebrated together. It would be a lie to say that they weren't looking forward to it.
The more Lu Zhixing thought about it, the more upset he became, and he threw the book in his hand on the table.
Liu Bai glanced at his expression and said, "Your Highness, perhaps Eunuch Song has prepared some secret surprise for you."
"Have you found out?" Lu Zhixing didn't trust his subordinate very much. Every time he guessed about Song Yushu, it was wrong.
"Uh..." Liu Bai was stunned. He was Lu Zhixing's personal bodyguard and never left his side. He had never tried to investigate Song Yushu's whereabouts.
The moment he saw this idiot Lu Zhixing, he got angry. He was a personal guard, sure, but he had no one under him? Couldn't he go investigate?
Lu Zhixing glared at Liu Bai, then saw Song Chun flash past the door and coughed lightly.
Song Chun, who had originally disappeared at the door, actually came back!
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?" Song Chun respectfully carried the luggage with two red lanterns.
Although his master is Song Yushu, Song Yushu had told him long ago that even Song Yushu was trying to curry favor with Lu Zhixing, so he must serve Lu Zhixing wholeheartedly and treat him as his real master.
Lu Zhixing coughed lightly and asked, "What has your master been doing these days?"
Song Chun understood that Lu Zhixing was asking about Song Yushu. He thought for a moment and said, "My master has not left the house recently except for inspecting the shops outside and working at the Supervisory Office. He sleeps in his room every day."
Song Yushu has always been sleepy and can sleep from morning to night as long as he has free time.
Hearing Song Chun say this, Lu Zhixing was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is she just sleeping in the room?"
Lu Zhixing's question was strange. Song Chun observed his expression and said, "The master has always respected you, the prince, so naturally he attaches great importance to your birthday banquet. I have been reporting to him about the affairs of the mansion these days, but he sometimes does things secretly, and he hides them when I go there."
Hearing Song Chun say this, Lu Zhixing's eyes lit up, "Secretly?"
"Perhaps I have made a mistake. Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness." Song Chun bowed calmly, "Your Highness, there are still some things I need to arrange for the birthday banquet..."
"Go." Lu Zhixing's expression improved a lot and he waved to Song Chun.
Song Chun slowly retreated, thought for a while, and then went through the secret passage to find Song Yushu.
Song Yushu happened to be on vacation today, and she was discussing embroidery with Chao He.
To be honest, although she is proficient in everything under the training of her godfather, she really has no talent for embroidery.
After embroidering for two days in a row, the mandarin ducks were embroidered like chickens.
"I don't want to embroider anymore!" Song Yushu angrily knocked over the embroidery frame and threw the belt in his hand out, which just hit Song Chun who was about to enter the door.
"Master, please calm down." Song Chun was about to kneel down holding his belt.
"Okay, okay, didn't I tell you not to kneel?" Song Yushu frowned and waved his hand.
Song Chun said seriously, "We must follow the rules."
Because of the Hu Luyi incident, Song Yushu's forces had to carry out a major cleanup and reorganize the rules.
Song Chun was deeply impressed by this matter and took it very seriously. He and his subordinates were the first to change their attitude towards Song Yushu. They were no longer as relaxed as before and became very disciplined.
If anyone crosses the line, Song Chun will punish them harshly.
After hearing what Song Chun said, Song Yushu shut his mouth and watched Song Chun kneel down. Liu An, who was serving him, also knelt down quickly.
Chao He only knelt down after Liu An reminded her, and naturally she received a warning look from Song Chun.
Although Song Chun was only in charge of the palace on the surface, in fact, the affairs of the Song palace were managed jointly by Song Chun and Liu An. Liu An admired Song Chun very much, so the real manager was Song Chun.
"Master, the prince will be happy with whatever you embroider, so why make yourself unhappy?" Song Chun consoled him, "Today, the prince even tested me, wanting to know if you care about his birthday banquet."
Because Song Yushu wanted to embroider a belt for Lu Zhixing these two days, the time he spent at the palace was shortened, or even he didn't go at all, so Song Yushu didn't know that Lu Zhixing couldn't help it.
If it was her birthday and Lu Zhixing didn't express his/her feelings, she would also be sad.
"Then what do you say?" Song Yushu asked Song Chun hurriedly.
Song Chun told his answer verbatim, Song Yushu nodded, and he stretched out his hand.
Song Chun handed the belt that hit him to Song Yushu.
"Everyone, get up." Song Yushu sighed, "I'm really embarrassed to give you such a birthday gift."
"Haven't you already planned to prepare a small birthday banquet for the prince?" Chao He consoled Song Yushu, "That would be a birthday gift. The prince would definitely be pleased."
"What's a birthday party without gifts?" Song Yushu frowned and shook his head. He sucked on his fingers that had been pierced with several holes and said to Chao He, "Come on! Keep going!"
The days passed as Song Yushu practiced her embroidery skills, and soon Lu Zhixing's birthday party arrived.
Because Song Yushu was already an imperial censor, he could not stand at the door with Lu Zhixing to welcome guests. Instead, he took a carriage, pretending to pull a cart full of gifts, and set off from the gate of the Song Mansion in a swagger.
She sat in the carriage and took a deep breath. Tonight, the sky above Dayanchao was about to change!
