Chapter 44 The Empress Dowager's Birthday Ceremony
At the same time, at the palace gate.

A group of palace people carried lanterns in their hands, bringing a little warmth to the dark palace road.

The dim candlelight shone on Empress Gu's face. She stood in front of the palace servants, looked at the carriage slowly approaching, and saluted: "I respectfully welcome the queen mother back to the palace."

The carriage stopped slowly, and then a nun who was following the carriage prepared the horse stool, helped the queen mother in the carriage and walked down.

"Stay flat, where's the emperor?"

The queen mother is about five or sixty years old, with only a few fine wrinkles on her well-maintained face.

Empress Gu walked up to the Empress Dowager, supported her, and said softly: "The Emperor is still dealing with official business in the imperial study, and he couldn't get away, so he specially asked his sons and ministers to welcome the Empress Dowager."

"En." The Queen Mother nodded, and walked forward with the support of Empress Gu, "Then help Ai's family back to the palace first, let the emperor come over tomorrow, Ai's family has something to say to him."

"Yes."

After sending the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassion, Empress Gu returned to the Jiaofang Palace, and said to the nurse next to her, "Tomorrow, send someone to urge Mr. Song from the Ministry of Officials to treat the families of various families to his boudoirs as soon as possible." Send me the list of middle-aged and school-age women."

"By the way, remember to ask him to add the ones that are about to pass this year."

Mammy nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

The next day, the streets and alleys were full of rumors about the third girl from the Song family.

The title of the most talented woman in the capital is on her head, so many pairs of eyes are watching.

"I heard that Miss Song San went to Hsinchu College yesterday, and there were a lot of rumors that she was much more beautiful than the first beauty!!"

"I said, do you believe such rumors? The Song family is such a big family, and the rumors about Miss Song San were so nasty in the past. If it was false, why didn't they clarify it?"

"Then who knows, these nobles are so busy on weekdays, maybe they don't even know about these gossips!"

"I can understand that Mr. Song is busy, and I can understand that the two sons don't know, but why does Mrs. Song not care at all?"

"It is said that Mrs. Song is the successor of the Song family, and this third girl Song is not her own at all!"

"That's no wonder, it's not my own, it's normal like this."

On the carriage, Song Yao looked at Song Wen who was sitting across from her, and smiled harmlessly, but this seemed a little creepy to Song Wen.

Now Song Yao has given up on the hat. After all, he only comes to the academy to go to school, and he will get on the carriage after school. This hat won't last long.

Her own strength is also steadily improving now, and Yan Sui is always by her side, so she is not so worried about being assassinated by others.

After entering the classroom, it was almost time, Master Zeng walked in quickly.

But today, he did not immediately start giving lectures, but looked at everyone with his hands behind his back, and said: "The empress dowager prayed for the great scene in Shou'an Temple for half a month, and now she has returned to the palace, and it will be the empress dowager's birthday soon."

"We in Hsinchu College should learn from Guozijian, prepare a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager, send it to the palace on the day of the birthday banquet, and hand it over to the empress dowager to taste."

"After being selected by the mother, the truly outstanding gifts will be sent to the empress dowager."

Master Zeng looked at the students with different faces below, paused for a moment, and said: "This birthday gift is not bought with money, but you have to make it yourself. It's a good way to show your face in front of the Queen Mother." Opportunity, you have to take advantage of it.”

"Of course, this time I got a gift from the empress dowager's blue eyes, and I will add credits in the final exam."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuanyuan spoke first, "Master, how many days are there until the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"

Master Zeng smiled and raised his hand to stroke his beard: "It's only half a month."

Song Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking it was unreasonable.

In half a month, do you want to make a decent present that you can afford?Going to school on weekdays, who can do this? ?
Thinking of this, Song Yao looked up at Master Zeng, and said, "Master, the time is too tight, can we work together to complete a gift?"

Hearing this, Master Zeng smiled and looked at Song Yao: "Of course."

So, Song Yao felt relieved.

How about she cooperate with Yan Sui?

During the rest time after class, Gu Huaixu took the initiative to find Song Yao, and said softly, "Miss Song, are you willing to cooperate with me in presenting the Queen Mother's birthday gift?"

Song Yao lowered her eyes, didn't give him a look, and said lightly: "Gu Shizi, please go back, I want to be in the same group as my brother."

Hearing this, Gu Huaixu glanced at Yan Sui, and said with a smile, "Master has not stipulated how many people should be in a group."

Seeing Gu Huaixu's recalcitrant look, Song Yao sighed, and said coldly: "No matter how many people are in a group, I don't want to be in a group with you."

Gu Huaixu froze for a moment, pursed his lips and said nothing.

In such a large crowd, is Song Yao going to embarrass him like this? !

"Oh, brother Huai Xu, come to our team!"

"That's right! It's just that she doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. Our brother Huai Xu's drawing skills are excellent, and she wouldn't even want to win by it, stupid!"

Speaking of these people, they were all Gu Huaixu's little followers on weekdays, and they obeyed his orders, probably in order to climb the high branch of the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Huaixu walked away with a few people, turning his head to glance at Song Yao's direction from time to time during the conversation, with a strong contempt in his eyes, as if he was convinced that she was no match for him.

Seeing this, Song Yao raised her eyebrows, but didn't care, she just pulled Yan Sui beside her, and said with a smile, "Brother, what will you do?"

Yan Sui was silent for a while: "I can kill people."

Song Yao: "."

Hey, that's all, it's up to me! !

At this time, Jiang Qinian pulled Jiang Yunchu over and said, "Miss Song San, would you like to cooperate with my brother and sister?"

Hearing this, Song Yao looked up at Jiang Qinian, then at Jiang Yunchu beside him, and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is willing to cooperate with me?"

Jiang Yunchu pursed his lips, raised his chin, and said uncomfortably: "I'm just cooperating, there's nothing I don't want to."

Seeing Jiang Yunchu's appearance, Song Yao understood, and nodded, "Okay, let's be a group of four."

"Okay, then should we discuss what kind of congratulatory gift is better?"

At the same time, in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Emperor Jing was sitting beside the Empress Dowager, and said, "The Empress Mother summoned the servants, but what instructions do you have?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager put down the teacup in her hand, sighed, and said slowly: "Master Bai Kong of Shou'an Temple, do you know?"

"I have heard a little bit about it, and it is said that he is a very powerful monk."

"Yes." The Empress Dowager held a string of Buddhist beads and twirled them, "Master Baikong said that if you want Yucheng to be safe, you must find the daughter of destiny and open an altar to pray for rain."
