After suffering two consecutive blows in one day, both of which were related to Mingyou, Jiang Jinghe temporarily shifted his target from Jiang Jingyu to Mingyou.
He planned to take Mingyou for himself.
But Mingyou's whereabouts are unpredictable, coming and going without a trace. How can she get close to him?
Jiang Jinghe pursed his lips, thinking about how to approach Mingyou.
At this time, the palace servants cleaned up all the broken tea sets on the ground, and the table that had fallen to the ground was also lifted up by the palace servants and placed in front of Jiang Jinghe.
Jiang Jinghe placed his hands on the table, tapping it with his fingers intermittently, and heard the panic among the palace people.
Whenever His Highness knocked on the table, it meant that someone was going to suffer. The palace servants were afraid that they would be the ones to suffer, so they lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Jinghe finally stopped knocking on the table, and the palace people's hearts finally settled down.
"Change your clothes. I need to go visit the Queen Mother."
"yes!"
After the palace maid agreed, she quickly got a plain dress for Jiang Jinghe to change into.
Since the late emperor abdicated, he has moved to the secluded Jialan Palace and lived a quiet life. He rarely appears in the public eye.
Just when Jiang Jinghe was thinking about how to get close to Mingyou, she suddenly remembered that her mother's birthday was coming soon, and she could use her mother's birthday to get close to Mingyou.
The Queen Mother's greatest hobby in life is hunting. Although the autumn hunt is still some time away, she can ask the Queen Mother to hold her birthday celebration in the royal hunting grounds.
After making up his mind, Jiang Jinghe changed his clothes and rode to Jialan Palace.
If the most favored person in the harem before the betrayal between the king and queen was the king, then the second most favored person in the harem was the noble Huang Yu, who was Jiang Jinghe's biological father.
The Queen betrayed the late Empress, and their child Jiang Jingyu was also disliked by the late Empress.
After the Queen was executed, the Imperial Noble Yu became the most favored person in the harem, and Jiang Jinghe became the most beloved child of the late Empress.
Jiang Jinghe believed that as long as she asked the Queen Mother to hold her birthday banquet in the royal hunting ground, the Queen Mother would definitely not refuse.
As expected, ever since Jiang Jinghe left Jialan Palace, the news that the Empress's fiftieth birthday celebration would be held in the Royal Hunting Ground quickly spread throughout the imperial capital.
However, where the late empress celebrated her birthday was none of the common people's business. Only the people in the palace and the ministers attending the banquet cared about it.
Jiang Jinghe's visit to Jialan Palace naturally did not escape Jiang Jingyu's eyes. After learning that the queen mother suddenly changed her mind and wanted to hold the birthday banquet in the royal hunting ground and let Jiang Jinghe take charge of it, Jiang Jingyu knew without hesitation that it was Jiang Jinghe's idea.
The reason why he went to so much trouble to arrange the birthday party at the hunting ground was simply because he wanted to deal with her at the hunting ground.
She didn't believe that Jiang Jinghe moved the birthday banquet to the hunting ground just to please the Queen Mother.
However, since Jiang Jinghe couldn't wait to make plans for the next step, she would just wait and see, and deal with the situation as it came.
"Your Majesty, the birthday gift prepared by the late empress is ready."
Nanny Xiang came into the hall carrying a teacup. When she heard that the late empress was going to hold the birthday banquet in the hunting ground, she mentioned it casually.
There is less than a month left until the late empress's birthday, and Nanny Xiang has already started preparing for it.
"Well, the Queen Mother loves hunting, so let's add the Moon-Covering Bow that we found a few days ago to her birthday gift."
The preparation of birthday gifts for the late empress had always been handled by Nanny Xiang, and Jiang Jingyu seldom asked about this matter. Now that the birthday banquet was held in the hunting ground, the birthday gift had to cater to her preferences, so Jiang Jingyu added a Moon-covering Bow to the gift.
"yes."

As time passed, the birthday of the late empress soon arrived.
After the court session, Jiang Jingyu changed out of his court robes and went to the hunting ground. The ministers also hurried back to their homes, changed out of their court robes, and took the birthday gifts prepared in advance and rushed to the hunting ground.
There is nothing that cannot be done with financial power. In less than a month, Jiang Jinghe ordered people to arrange the birthday banquet in an orderly manner.
The ministers were surprised to see the pavilions and waterside terraces in front of them. They didn't expect that the Second Prince would arrange the hunting ground into this state.
The lush scene is accompanied by the sound of dripping springs. The hunting ground that was once deserted now makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Listening to the ministers' praise, Jiang Jinghe curled his lips proudly.
I'm afraid that after seeing the scene before her, the Queen Mother will be even more disgusted with Jiang Jingyu's previous unoriginal plan?
Jiang Jinghe became excited when he thought about the scene where his mother would ignore and alienate Jiang Jingyu in front of all the officials, making her lose face in front of them.
Later, she would definitely add fuel to the fire in front of the Queen Mother and make the situation even more tense.
Jiang Jinghe curled his lips and sat in his seat, waiting for Jiang Jingyu and today's protagonist to arrive.
"Your Majesty has arrived—"
A quarter of an hour later, the voice of a palace maid sounded from the side, and then Jiang Jingyu, dressed in a purple robe, appeared in everyone's sight and walked slowly towards the main seat.
Unlike the flamboyant red dress, the purple robe seemed to be tailor-made for her, making her look even more noble and inviolable.
"Your Majesty!"
The ministers stood up from their seats one after another and knelt on the ground.
Jiang Jingyu waved his wide sleeves and said, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Jiang Jingyu and the ministers had taken their seats, the birthday boy finally arrived.
The late empress was wearing a red robe. Even though she was over fifty years old, there were still not many traces of age on her face. She still had the same majesty as before. The moment the ministers saw the late empress, they instantly thought of how glorious she was when she was in power.
"Queen Mother!"
Jiang Jinghe stood up from his seat and walked towards the late emperor, holding her arm affectionately.
The late emperor smiled dotingly: "You, you, you've grown up so much, why are you still acting like a child and acting like a spoiled child in front of the empress dowager?"
Jiang Jinghe shook the late emperor's arm: "No matter how old my daughter is, she will always be a child in front of the Queen Mother. Does the Queen Mother dislike Jinghe?"
"Silly child, the Queen Mother loves you so much, how could she dislike you?"
"Does the Queen Mother like Jinghe's arrangements today?"
"Well, Jinghe is thoughtful. Go to the Queen Mother later. The Queen Mother has something to give you."
Faced with the scene of loving mother and filial son, the ministers were not pleased at all and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Jiang Jingyu who was in a high position.
However, there was always a faint smile in Jiang Jingyu's eyes, and she did not show any displeasure with Jiang Jinghe's behavior.
Jiang Jinghe walked forward holding the late emperor's arm. When he reached his seat, he paused and said, "Mother Queen, this is my seat."
Jiang Jinghe had a look of reluctance on his face, perfectly demonstrating his desire to stay with the late emperor but not daring to go against the rules.
Seeing this, the late emperor patted the back of her hand and said, "Today, you will stay by the Queen Mother's side and talk. The Queen Mother hasn't seen you for a while and misses you very much."
Jiang Jinghe looked forward hesitantly: "I'm afraid this is not a good idea? Her Majesty..."
