To make a good impression on Mu Yunge, the Suo brothers dressed up meticulously.
Meanwhile, because of Mu Yunge’s birthday, the First Prince Zhou Ti, who was praying at Xiangguo Temple for the people who had frozen and starved to death due to the snow disaster, was also summoned to the palace.
Meanwhile, in the Fourth Prince’s palace, Zhou Hao was placing a red hairpin into a box.
After putting the box away, Zhou Hao said to the eunuch beside him, “Liu Jin, let’s go.”
Hearing this, Liu Jin immediately nodded.
He was a eunuch whom Zhou Hao had promoted this year, and he was nearly thirty years old. However, age had its advantages; at least he knew a lot about the secrets of the inner palace, and his methods and connections were also quite good.
In Zi Ling’s past life, Liu Jin was the eunuch who became her partner in a sexual relationship. Therefore, in the original story, after Zi Ling discovered that Liu Jin had appeared by Zhou Hao’s side, she soon got rid of him and then plotted against him, causing him to be severely punished by Consort Shu and beaten with a board. She also secretly had him tortured to death.
However, Zi Ling was still unaware that the psychopathic eunuch who had tortured her to death had already reached Zhou Hao’s side.
…
After waking up in the morning, Yan Fei and Chun Xiao dressed Mu Yunge in a gorgeous princess dress they had prepared.
Soon after, several princes arrived at the side hall of Weiyang Palace to congratulate Mu Yunge.
Everyone brought expensive gifts, but when it was Zhou Hao’s turn, the Second Prince said with a forced smile, “Fourth Brother, what gift have you prepared for Ninth Sister? May we take a look?”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao calmly took a sandalwood box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Mu Yunge. He then said to the others, “This is a gift for Ninth Sister. How can I show it to you? If you want to know what it is, you can ask the Ninth Sister’s permission.”
After saying that, Zhou Hao turned to Mu Yunge and said, “Happy birthday, Ninth Princess! I can’t give you expensive gifts now, but one day, I will present you with the best things in the world.”
Mu Yunge personally accepted the gift from Zhou Hao, opened it, and took out the hairpin inside. She nodded with satisfaction and smiled, “This hairpin from Brother Hao matches my clothes perfectly today! Xiao Xi, quickly help me change!”
Hearing this, Yan Fei immediately stepped forward: “Yes, Princess.”
With that, Yan Fei took the red hairpin from Mu Yunge’s hand, removed a gold hairpin from her hair, and inserted the hairpin.
Seeing this, the other princes immediately scoffed, “Ninth Princess, it’s just a hairpin, and you’re this happy! Hurry up and open my gift, I guarantee it’s better than this!”
Mu Yunge smiled slightly and said, “The gift is valued for its sentiment. I like any gift from my brothers!”
Then, she smiled and changed the subject: “I heard that the barbarian princes from beyond the Great Wall will also be entering the palace today. It is said that they are quite handsome. I wonder if any of you brothers have seen them? Are they really that handsome?”
Upon hearing this, the princes couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Which person with such bizarre taste thinks these barbarians are handsome? They’re all clearly burly men; how could they deserve the word ‘handsome’? Ninth Princess, you’ll see for yourself today, don’t be too disappointed, hahaha…”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunge immediately said, “Then I’ll have to take a good look.”
