Chapter 85 Birthday Banquet
"I just felt uneasy about the cake made by the eldest prince, so I changed it.

As for the 'South Vietnamese mushroom', I seem to have seen it in a book before."

Yun Chuhuan was a very unstable kid. Yun Shu was afraid that if she told him the truth, it would be easy to be exposed, so she only explained it half-truthfully:

"I remember reading something in a book saying that this mushroom is fine if cooked when fresh, but if it's not cooked properly, it can be poisonous."

"poisonous?!"

Yun Chuhuan exclaimed:
“Then, the eldest prince won’t die, right?

Today is the birthday of the emperor! He is going to die in the palace, how unlucky! "

"..."

The focus is indeed unique.

Yun Shu sighed helplessly:
"If you don't eat too much and the condition isn't particularly serious, you probably won't die.

But there may be some special circumstances.”

"Special situation?"

Yun Chuhuan was a little curious:
"What's the special method?"

“Not sure if that’s true yet.”

Seeing someone walking towards this side not far away, Yun Shu didn't want to say anything more, and walked slowly and continued to stroll forward:
"Anyway, if anything happens, you'll be able to see it at the dinner later."

……

Although the message released by the Queen hinted that she wanted to meet the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and even Yun Shu.

But the young men and women who were invited to the palace on the Wanshou Festival were either children of aristocratic families or important officials in the court.

They had also heard about the promise that Yun Shu had asked Emperor Xuanwu for at the royal hunting ground.

Girls may envy Yunshu for being able to live as he pleases without caring about worldly eyes.
But those young masters all kept their distance from Yun Shu——

joke!

Yunshu is just a princess, not an empress.

Their own social status is not low either. Wouldn't it be nice to marry a wife who is of equal status to them, and then find a bunch of beautiful concubines who can please them?

He gave up such a happy and god-like life and went to marry the princess to be her husband. From then on, he could only take care of the princess alone.

If I do something wrong, I might even get a divorce letter, which would be a huge loss of face...

They are not crazy!

Thanks to the unwillingness of these young men to give up the entire forest for a big tree, Yun Shu strolled in the imperial garden for an entire afternoon without encountering any unpleasant guys who wanted to hook up with her.

In sharp contrast to her was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been constantly encountered by the noble ladies throughout the afternoon.

There were no less than ten people seen by Yun Shu alone.

However, most of the girls could only stay by the prince's side for a short while. Only one girl, who was wearing a pink dress and had a pretty face and a pitiful temperament, followed the prince almost from beginning to end.

Judging from the situation, the position of Crown Princess in the future will probably fall on her.

In modern times, I have seen all kinds of crazy couples through people around me and on TV.

Yun Shu really couldn't get used to this kind of "love" that required a girl to follow the prince closely, pay attention to his various emotional changes at all times, respond quickly, and never forget to please him all the time.

After a few uninterested glances, he looked away, not even bothering to gossip about the girl's identity.

……

When the lights come on,

Yun Shu, who had been forced to walk around the Imperial Garden for an entire afternoon, finally sat down comfortably in the palace with floor heating. Emperor Xuanwu, the Empress, and others had not yet entered the palace.
Everyone was relaxed and after being led to their respective seats by the palace servants, they began to enjoy the singing and dancing, raised their glasses and chatted.

Because Yun Shu was a princess, her seat was not arranged with the ordinary female members, but at the end closest to Emperor Xuanwu, side by side with Yun Chuhuan.

"Fifth sister!"

Cen Yiyi and Liu Ziming have all returned to their respective parents.

Yun Chuhuan was probably bored, so he glanced around and then leaned over to Yun Shu and whispered:

"Why do I think the eldest prince is fine? He doesn't look like he was poisoned!"

"Maybe it's not time yet."

Even if the green onion is not handled properly, it will not be poisonous immediately after being eaten. There is always a process in between.

He placed one hand on Yun Chuhuan's head and pushed him back.

Yun Shu reluctantly reminded in a low voice:

"Take that look away, it's too obvious."

"I didn't stare at him the whole time, and there were many other people in his direction. How could it be obvious?"

Yun Chuhuan argued in a low voice, unconvinced.

I was about to say something else, but suddenly a sharp announcement came from outside -

"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

The originally bustling hall immediately became quiet. Even the lazy Yun Shu stood up with everyone else, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, and then bowed to the bright yellow figure:
"Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"

"Everyone is safe!"

Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be in a very good mood today, and there was a hint of joy in his tone:

"Today is the birthday banquet for the emperor. Don't be restrained, just enjoy yourself!"

As he finished speaking, the palace was filled with singing and dancing again.

But the sound of people laughing and talking became much quieter.

Obviously, even with that sentence, everyone still didn't dare to really relax in front of Emperor Xuanwu -

Except Yunshu.

She usually didn't seem to be very serious when she went to the imperial study, let alone at a dinner like this.

The dancers who were carefully trained in the ancient palace all had great figures, and especially after the arrival of Emperor Xuanwu and his party, the songs and dances they performed reached a new level!
Yun Shu's eyes were filled with beautiful young ladies, and they looked more attractive than those unmarried young men present.

Unfortunately, they danced for less than half an hour before these dancers, who would have been the leading dancers in modern times, left, swinging their long sleeves.

It's time to present birthday gifts to the emperor.

The prince was the first to stand up from the first seat on the right hand side of Emperor Xuanwu and walked into the hall.

Two young eunuchs walked in carefully from outside, carrying a base that was about one foot long and wide.

The object on the base also looked only slightly larger than an adult man's fist, but it was covered with a red cloth, making it impossible to see what it was.

"It's so small, yet you still need two people to carry it."

Yun Chuhuan couldn't help but lean over and whispered to Yun Shu:
"Obviously one person could have brought it up!"

They had to arrange two people for the sake of pomp, and the base was so small that their hands were almost touching each other.
Isn't it embarrassing?
