Chapter 416 Birthday Banquet
"In that case, I should also prepare some gifts. I absolutely cannot be outdone by Gu Erli."
Having said that, he immediately stood up and went straight to the warehouse to choose a birthday gift for Gu Jingchun.
The same goes for Ye Wenxi.
As Gu Jingchun's sworn brother, when he learned that today was Gu Jingchun's birthday, he immediately took out all the good things he had collected before and brought them to Gu Jingchun in a grand manner.
Gu Jinxi originally came to find Chen Hechuan, and when she learned that Chen Hechuan was preparing a birthday gift for Gu Jingchun, she was immediately confused.
"birthday?"
"Today is not mother's birthday!"
After hearing this, Shen Hechuan turned around and explained carefully.
"Son, you know that your mother has many identities and many birthdays, but today is her real birthday."
Gu Jinxi blinked, said something to Chen Hechuan, and quickly returned to her palace to get the birthday gift prepared for her mother.
Besides them, there was another person who also wanted to celebrate Gu Jingchun's birthday.
At this time, outside the gate of Tiandu City, a group of people in ragged cloth were pulling a cart full of things outside the city gate.
However, their attire caused disdain among the people around them.
The soldiers guarding the city frowned when they saw them and waved their hands to tell them to stay away from them.
"Go, go, go, everyone, you can't enter the city!"
The group led by Li Er was very surprised.
"Why?"
"Why can't we go into town?"
They came into the city with a mission today, and they also need to give these things to the young master for his birthday!
There's no time to lose.
However, no matter how they explained, the soldiers refused to let them enter the city.
"Why won't you let us in? Look, aren't those people pulling ox carts?"
"Can they be the same as you?"
"They are decent people, but look at you, are you decent people?"
"We put you in there and let you lie on the ground, affecting the city's appearance?"
The soldier said this and pushed them back forcefully.
After hearing this, several people stopped arguing, lowered their heads, and left in shame.
When they got to a deserted place, they changed their clothes and went to the city gate again.
This time there was no obstruction and we entered the city directly.
After entering, the people led by Li Er looked back at the people guarding the city, with murderous intent in their eyes.
But Li Er grabbed his hand and shook his head in a warning tone.
"Don't forget our mission this time. If anything unexpected happens, be careful of Master's punishment!"
The few of them finally came to their senses and pulled their things towards Gu Jingchun's residence.
At this time, Gu Jingchun's mansion was bustling with activity.
All the noble ladies in Tiandu who could be named came to Gu Jingchun's mansion.
Originally, Gu Jingchun didn't want to receive him.
However, there were so many people, and the carriages coming and going made the entire road blocked.
Lan Xin hurried over to report.
Gu Jingchun then sighed.
"In that case, let them all come in!"
And at this time the door.
Many noble ladies gathered at Gu Jingchun's door, talking a lot.
"What's going on with this Gu Jingchun?"
"We came here with good intentions to celebrate her birthday, but they just left us here and wouldn't let us in."
He lowered his voice again.
"After all, I grew up in the countryside. Even though I'm about to become a phoenix, it's hard to change my petty nature."
Chang Jiaojiao and Ding Jiaojiao in the crowd spoke.
There was contempt in their words.
"I think Gu Jingchun has never seen such a grand occasion, so he can't entertain us!"
“We came here without any prior preparation, but as a lady from a wealthy family, you should be able to handle even the most urgent situations with ease.
Otherwise, how could she become the queen in the future?"
"I hope you're not so scared that you're crying in your room right now."
After the two of them finished speaking, people around them began to talk.
Even if they dare not say much, the contempt and dissatisfaction in their eyes can be seen.
Situ Mingji and Jiang Mingwan were standing in the crowd. When they heard this, they both curled the corners of their lips slightly.
Just when everyone thought that Gu Jingchun would hide and not come out.
The door suddenly opened from the inside.
A group of people came out in a well-trained manner and began to spread out in an orderly manner.
Lan Xin stood in the middle of the crowd and first said a few words on behalf of Gu Jingchun, thanking everyone for coming to the gathering.
Then he recorded them one by one in the book and invited them in respectfully.
Lan Xin deliberately did not mention the word birthday, and only said that it was a small gathering of young ladies, in order to avoid some bad influences.
Soon, everyone entered the mansion.
This was also the first time that everyone entered Gu Jingchun's mansion.
They originally thought that even if Gu Jingchun ran her own business as a woman, how much money could she make?
I guess the house is very shabby.
Jiang Mingwan in the crowd also understood that this banquet was too urgent. Even if Gu Jingchun was very capable, it would be difficult for him to prepare everything in the fastest time.
Not to mention the banquet.
However, when they walked in, they found that it was already neatly arranged.
Not only was the yard beautifully decorated, but the banquet table was also arranged in a circular pattern with great interest.
A high platform was erected in the middle.
The moment they came in, a woman started dancing.
Immediately attracted the attention of the ladies, and they followed the servants and sat down in their seats.
As soon as we sat down, several plates of snacks and fruits were served, including some very exquisite snacks.
Crystal clear, very beautiful.
I put it in my mouth out of curiosity, and it tasted slightly cool and very delicious.
Her eyes widened in surprise, she gave a thumbs-up, and began to taste other snacks.
When the other noble ladies saw it, they immediately started to taste it.
They all praised it so much that they didn't bother to talk about anything else.
Jiang Mingwan and Situ Mingji originally wanted to take this opportunity to laugh at Gu Jingchun's joke and secretly spread the word that Gu Jingchun was not worthy of being the queen.
I didn't expect that Gu Jingchun was actually so capable and could do so well in such a short time.
The two of them sat in their seats with different expressions on their faces.
At this time, Gu Jingchun also came out.
She sat down in the main seat, exchanged a few words with the ladies, and then sat down.
At this time, Situ Mingji couldn't help but speak.
"Miss Gu, since today is your birthday, why hasn't His Majesty come to celebrate your birthday?"
