In September of the autumn season, the yin begins to be more than the sun. After the rain, the road is removed, the water is dried up and the beams are formed, the grass and trees are dispersed and stored, and the frost is gone, and the winter fur is covered. On the second day of the day, the birth mother of King Lu, Zhao Shu, celebrated her birthday at the age of fifty. With the fall of King Guishan, the position of King Lu in the court was improved to a certain extent.

The emperor seemed to be very indulging in this younger brother, and praised him many times, and entered the palace of Lu like a flowing water. The king of Lu's legitimate son was enthroned as the crown prince. The emperor also promised that the second son of Lu's legitimate son could be awarded the title of Prince.

This time, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to take charge of the birthday of Concubine Zhao Shu. The emperor was so kind that the King of Lu was full of energy. Concubine Zhao Shu was very uneasy, "Lian'er, cooking oil with fire, flowers with brocade, and prosperity will lead to decline."

"Mother's wife doesn't have to worry. Everything is in the control of her son. What they see is what her son wants them to see." King Lu said confidently.

Concubine Zhao Shu sighed. She knew she could not persuade him, but she really didn't want to watch her son step by step towards destruction. "Liang'er, that position does not belong to you..."

"Mother, both are sons of the father, I am qualified to compete for that position." King Lu interrupted her firmly.

"But Lian'er, Your Majesty has already settled in that position. If you fight with him, you will only lose. King Chu and King Qi are your past lessons. Wouldn't it be good for you to be your prince peacefully?" Concubine Zhao Shu advised earnestly.

King Lu smiled loudly, "I never thought of competing with him. My opponent is Tang Li."

"Lian'er..." Concubine Zhao Shu wanted to persuade him again.

"Mother, just wait for your son to sit in that supreme position and enjoy infinite glory." King Lu interrupted her again.

Concubine Zhao Shu looked at her son who was determined to be alone. She was the daughter of a scholar. By chance, she entered the palace, served in bed, and gave birth to a dragon son. In the harem, she did not dare to compete for favor, and lived cautiously. She finally raised her son. When she saw him being the king and leaving the palace, she thought she would never have to live such a life like walking on thin ice, but she didn't expect that now was the beginning of suffering.

She didn't want to enter the palace again, but if she couldn't enter, it meant that her son failed to seize the throne. Success, infinite glory, and failure, and bottomless abyss.

"Mother, the guests are coming soon, I will help you out." King Lu said with a smile.

"Go out." Concubine Zhao Shu stood up and walked out. Let's just have a mother and son fight. Let's do it. Life and death together.

At this time, there were traffic outside the palace and guests gathered. The carriage from the Duke Anguo Mansion was parked not far from the palace, and there were several carriages in front. Fu Zhixing and Yan Huo were sitting in the carriage, but they did not take the children with them.

Fu Zhixing was reading with this book, while Yan Hu lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, "Wow, there are so many people, it's so lively."

"The princess' mansions are here, why aren't there many people?" Fu Zhixing said with a faint smile.

Suddenly, a noise came from behind. Yan Huo saw those people voluntarily avoiding the side and letting a carriage pass. Looking at the sign on it, Yan Huo smiled and said, "Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is here too. Concubine Zhao Shu is so proud of her."

"If God wants to ask about his demise, he will make him crazy. The way of heroes is to be crazy first and then die. The heart of ordinary people is to be crazy first and then crazy." Fu Zhixing said without raising his head.

Yan Hu thought about this and laughed, "If God wants to destroy people, he must first make people crazy."

"That's right." Fu Zhixing looked up and smiled at her.

At this time, the prince and the princess were respectfully welcomed into the palace by the manager of the prince. The carriage continued to move forward and soon arrived at the carriage of the Duke of Anguo's mansion. The manager stepped forward and "Please pay tribute to the nobles."

The carriage door was opened, and two maids got off the carriage behind and trotted over to help Yan Huo. Yan Huo got off the carriage and took two steps. The two maids bent down and tidied up the hem of her skirt.

Fu Zhixing got off the carriage and walked towards the royal palace with Yan Hu. After entering the door, the two separated. Fu Zhixing and King Lu were in average, so naturally he would not go to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Zhao Shu in person. He went directly to the front hall, while Yan Hu went to the backyard where the girls gathered.

Yan Huo was still a distance from the flower hall. The woman who was standing at the door was responsible for setting the curtains and informed her: "Go to see the prince of the Duke of Anguo Mansion."

Princess Dou, the Princess of Lu, personally welcomed her, "Mrs. Fu is here, please come in."

Yan Hu followed her in. The entrance was made of eight large screens of red sandalwood carved. Bypassing the screen, he arrived at the inner hall. There were many noble ladies sitting in the hall, accompanying Concubine Zhao Shu and chatting. Yan Huo stepped forward and saluted: "Yan Shi of Anguo Duke's Mansion met Concubine Shu and paid tribute to Concubine Shu, wishing Concubine Shu to be evergreen and never grow old in spring and autumn."

"I accept your auspicious words, there is no need to be too polite, please get up." Concubine Zhao Shu smiled and held her hands in vain, "Please sit down."

Because the eldest princesses have arrived, Yan Hu is in a relatively low position. Although her grade is not low, her seniority is relatively low. Fortunately, she is not bored with the princess of the Prince of Dongling and the wife of the British prince accompanying her.

After sitting for a while, guests came in one after another. The smell of rouge and powder in the hall was mixed together. Yan Huo felt a little uncomfortable when he smelled it, "Two sisters-in-law, let's go to the porch to sit."

"Okay." The three of them walked out of the hall, and the air outside the hall was indeed much fresher.

Not only were they walking in the garden, but also the ladies and ladies from other palaces; there was a faint sound of music, and the princess of the Prince of Dongling laughed and said, "I heard that the musician at today's birthday banquet is the musician in the palace."

"No wonder it's extraordinary." Yan Huo smiled.

A maid brought tea, and the British prince's wife smiled and said, "The Princess Lu greeted her so well."

The Prince of the Prince of Dongling looked around and whispered: "It makes me feel like I have seen the former Princess Qi."

The three of them chatted and joked for about half an hour. The maid came over to invite them to enter the hall again. The birthday gift was held by Princess Lu, who was only a few months old. Princess Lu held her to present a birthday gift to Princess Zhao Shu. "Xiao Xianer wishes her grandmother happiness every day and everything goes well."

Concubine Zhao Shu smiled and felt bitter. She wanted to be happy every day, but was she happy?

"The eldest son offered a birthday gift to the concubine."

The eldest son of Concubine Kang, born to King Lu, was six or seven years old. He walked to the hall with a long wooden box, knelt down, and placed the wooden box in front of him, "The grandson wishes grandmother a hundred years of long life and happiness!"

"Okay, okay." Concubine Zhao Shu nodded with a smile.

The birthday gift presented by this eldest son is a picture of pine and crane prolonging life. The painting is covered with yellow chrysanthemums all over the ground, with lush flowers and lush leaves. On the left is a towering pine tree with dense leaves, thick trunks and fish-scattered bark. On the tree, the red-crowned crane is independent with one leg, the crane's neck is slightly shrunk, and the long beak is tightly closed, staring forward.

Yellow chrysanthemums, cranes and pine trees are all auspicious symbols of longevity and prolonging life. The whole painting gives people a sense of happiness and satisfaction of longevity and wellness, and is worthy of being painted by famous artists. Yan Hae frowned slightly, and the Kang family prepared such a generous gift for the eldest son. Are they planning to turn to King Lu in full?

The only two of the descendants of King Lu offered gifts and were taken down by their respective wet nurses. Princess Lu smiled and said, "Mother, you can move to the main hall."

Concubine Zhao Shu put her hand on Princess Lu's hand and looked around, "Let's go there together."
