"Organize a birthday party?" The Queen Mother couldn't believe her ears when she heard this.
Li Sheng on the side also had an embarrassed look on his face: "Yes, this is also what your majesty meant. In previous years, it was you, the Empress Dowager, who took care of it. But your majesty said that the Empress Dowager has just returned not long ago, and he doesn't want you to be tired again, so he let the Ministry of Internal Affairs take care of it." Li Sheng said in a humble tone.
The Queen Mother's expression was unpredictable, and she didn't give any specific response for a while.
Li Sheng was waiting downstairs, feeling very anxious. They had no idea what the Empress Dowager meant.
"It doesn't matter. We won't hold the birthday party this year." The Queen Mother replied after a long while.
Not going to do it? How can this be possible? Your Majesty finally found such an excuse, and now the Queen Mother has decided not to do it. Wouldn't that be a disappointment to Your Majesty again?
And if I don't deal with this matter today, I'm afraid I won't be able to report back. Li Sheng's smile was a little stiff, and he looked embarrassed: "Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu is of noble status, so this birthday banquet cannot be ignored. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs take care of it? If there is anything that is not to your liking, I will ask someone to change it according to your wishes." Li Sheng said.
The Queen Mother heard this and calmly picked up the teacup beside her: "If I say there is no need to do it, then there is no need to do it. Ranran has been in a bad mood recently and I don't think she would be willing to see outsiders. After coming out of the cold palace, she has become much more stable than before and is not interested in these things anymore."
"Besides, don't you know how these people outside view Ranran now? Holding this birthday party will only make people dislike her. When there are too many people coming, she and I won't have the energy to deal with them slowly, so there is no need to hold it."
"Then I will just stay with her in Shoukang Palace and spend a simple time there." In short, the Empress Dowager just refused to give in.
Li Sheng couldn't say what he wanted to say next. If he continued and angered the Empress Dowager, he would be really finished.
"Yes... Then I will go back and tell His Majesty." Li Sheng said.
There's no other way, he has already tried his best, the rest he can only rely on himself to fight for it.
Li Sheng left Shoukang Palace very quickly. The nanny beside the empress dowager came forward and asked in confusion: "Didn't the queen say before that she would hold a good birthday banquet for the concubine? Now that His Majesty has taken the initiative to bring it up, why did the queen refuse it again?"
"If I agree, wouldn't that be too easy? Since the emperor is looking for excuses himself, he should find a few more. It would be too insincere to just deal with them casually." The empress dowager hinted at something.
"But what about the queen's birthday banquet? Are we really not going to hold it?" asked the nanny.
"Ranran has been unhappy recently, and I originally wanted to make her happy. But there is no need to make a big deal about it, and there is no need to invite all those random people to the party. Wouldn't it be enough to just have me? The rest of the people would just be annoying." Although it was a birthday party, if it was really made into a big deal, not to mention the concubines in the harem, I'm afraid that the wives of officials outside would not be able to escape either.
Cheng Mingran couldn't deal with those people in her current state. Besides, Cheng Li was still in prison. How could she have a good birthday? It would only add to her troubles.
"What about His Majesty..." The nanny was also worried.
"Only those who can endure temper can be trusted. How can I trust someone who says that the heat is only for a short while?" said the Queen Mother.
The nanny sighed and said, "That's all. As long as the Queen Mother has a plan in mind, that's good." She was originally just worried that if she kept leaving His Majesty alone like this, His Majesty would keep hitting a wall and then he would really stop caring about her.
"I heard that the plum blossoms in the plum forest are in bloom. Tomorrow, ask Ranran to go there and pick a few plum blossoms for me to put in the vase." The Queen Mother suddenly said.
The nanny had served the Queen Mother for many years, so she immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant: "Yes"
"The roads are slippery in the snow, be careful." The Queen Mother closed her eyes after saying this, looking extremely lazy.
The nanny quietly stepped back from her side. The Queen Mother has always been a person with plans for success.
The atmosphere here is good, but as for Zichen Palace...
"Not going to do it?" Ji Lingzhou frowned when he heard this.
Li Sheng was also sweating profusely below. He was not a human being on both sides. What else could he do?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. In fact, I think what the Empress Dowager said makes sense. Right now, Concubine Shu is worried all day long and is no longer the same as before. If this is really carried out, I am afraid there will be a lot more trouble. How can Concubine Shu have so much time to deal with it now? So the Empress Dowager is doing this for Concubine Shu's sake." Li Sheng needed to find excuses for both sides.
Ji Lingzhou looked unhappy, but he really couldn't find any words to refute.
Suddenly, Li Sheng didn't know what he thought of. He looked at Ji Lingzhou at the top, and then cautiously said: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."
Ji Lingzhou looked at him: "What?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. In my humble opinion, Your Majesty Shufei has been worrying too much all day long, and most of the reason is probably because of General Cheng. The birthday is coming soon, if Your Majesty can meet with General Cheng..." Before Li Sheng finished his words, Ji Lingzhou already understood what he meant.
But... the matter is not over yet, so it might be inappropriate for him to release the person now...
"How long will it take for Ji Chenan to reach the capital?" Ji Lingzhou asked.
"A few days ago, they said it would only take seven or eight days. But yesterday, news came that the roads were blocked due to heavy snow, so it would be delayed for a few days. So... it should take another three to five days," Li Sheng replied.
"Keep an eye on Ji Chenan's movements at all times to make sure he does not enter the capital privately." Ji Lingzhou said.
"Yes," Li Sheng replied.
"Then Your Majesty, General Cheng..." Li Sheng is still worried about him.
"Let me think about this matter carefully first." Ji Lingzhou did not draw a conclusion immediately. After all, who could tell the truth about such a thing?
Li Sheng was helpless, but he had said what he needed to say, and the rest was up to His Majesty.
Although he had followed his Majesty for so many years, it was impossible for him to completely control Ji Lingzhou's mind. Especially during this period of time, he always felt that his Majesty seemed to have become a different person, and he had changed a lot.
