"I'm still thief and I'll never let you take advantage of it." Seeing a figure disappearing in the darkness, Murong Sichen said firmly.

After a while of anxiety, Murong Sichen judged that no one would come to make a clever move tonight. He returned to the room and hugged Chai Qingyue and fell asleep peacefully.

Although Doctor Li told him that it is best to sleep separately during this period, Murong Sichen felt that he was at ease only when he was by Chai Qingyue's side. Besides, he did nothing and just slept with his arms around him.

The next day, early in the morning, an imperial edict came from the palace.

"Recently, the Empress Dowager is about to celebrate her birthday. She specially invited the prince and the princess to come, which can be regarded as adding more joy to the Empress Dowager." A father-in-law bent over and hunched back said in a whisper.

"Yes, I will definitely go there." Murong Sichen received the order.

In the eyes of anyone, this Empress Dowager's birthday is something worth celebrating, especially some requests that cannot be made on weekdays, which can be said that day. Because the Empress Dowager is in a good mood, she will agree to most of the requests.

What people in the dynasty value most was the word "filial piety". As long as someone disobeys the empress dowager, he will be despised by the world, including the emperor. The emperor must come to see this birthday party. That day, the emperor will have to accompany the empress dowager.

"Sichen, what are we going to give after the Empress Dowager's birthday?" At the beginning, Chai Qingyue began to worry about preparing gifts. This kind of thing is really hard to deal with, and the precious things lack the heart. But the heart seems not very grand.

The most important thing is that when the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday, many people will come to congratulate her with all kinds of rare treasures. People will inevitably start to compare. It doesn’t matter if they compare, it will be bad if they are compared. In this way, those who are ready to continue will be embarrassed, while those who receive gifts will feel that you do not value others enough.

"You should prepare for this matter Qingyue. You usually manage big and small things in the house. You know that there are any rare treasures in your family. My husband is indeed not as good as you in this regard." When talking about the issue of giving gifts, Murong Sichen was also overwhelmed. He was really not good at preparing these things.

He could only hand over the preparation of the gift to Chai Qingyue. Murong Sichen believed that she was a daughter's home, with a delicate mind, so the things she prepared were naturally not much worse, and it was easy to please the old lady.

"Okay, then I'll do it." Looking at Murong Sichen's helpless look, Chai Qingyue inexplicably felt that Murong Sichen was a little cute, and she couldn't bear to make things difficult for him anymore. Whether the preparations were good or bad depends on the mood of the empress dowager.

"Sichen, since you were about to let me leave, the news came that the Empress Dowager was about to celebrate her birthday. It must be God's will. God is not willing to let us separate. You should not ask me to leave again in the future, okay?" Chai Qingyue took the opportunity to say.

"But - OK, I won't mention it again." Murong Sichen was going to say something, but Chai Qingyue blocked it with her white and tender fingers, so he had to agree.

After thinking about it, Chai Qingyue finally thought of a pretty good birthday gift, which was a portrait of Guanyin decorated by a famous painter at that time decorated with various treasures and gold. On the painting, Chai Qingyue also expressed some selfishness. She specifically asked the painter to draw Guanyin similar to the empress dowager.

There are also four big characters written by Murong Sichen, "Fu, Shou and Health" written by him. The whole painting is lifelike and stunning enough.

The gift to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday was prepared like this. Chai Qingyue asked the maid to carefully collect the words and prepare to take them out on the day of congratulating the Queen Mother's birthday.

Bai Chudie heard that Chai Qingyue had already prepared the gift. She was very curious and was more jealous in her heart. She didn't believe that the Crown Princess could come up with any good ideas, or maybe she couldn't believe it, because Chai Qingyue has always been the one who can surprise people the most.

She was afraid of losing, afraid of being looked down upon by others, and afraid of being said to her: "Look, it's not that the prince doesn't look down on her, she just can't compare to the prince's concubine."

She must not let such a thing happen. Bai Chudie thought, and the only way to prevent this incident from happening is to prevent Chai Qingyue’s gift from appearing, or the possibility of giving better than her gifts.

Bai Chudie found out about the gifts given by Chai Qingyue, and then came to the prince's mansion bored.

"Crown Princess, my sister is here to disturb me again. I wonder if I will mind." As soon as I entered the door, Bai Chudie sat down without any fright, without even the consent of the master.

"No, Chu Die just thinks this is her own home, and it's okay to be casual." Chai Qingyue actually hated this person to death, but there was no way. Who made her the crown princess?

If Bai Chudie had clearly fought against her, it would not have been better for her to spread like this. If she had driven Bai Chudie away now, she believed that within two days, the people would have heard a cry: The Crown Princess had no ability to assist the Crown Prince, it would be that she was so jealous.

Chai Qingyue considered this and had to talk to Bai Chudie all the scenes.

"Sister Xie, but I heard that my sister has prepared the gift to the empress dowager. I wonder if I have the honor to see the beauty first." Bai Chudie said lightly. It seemed that she was very proud. In this way, Chai Qingyue was not the master here at all. Perhaps, this was what Bai Chudie wanted Chai Qingyue to feel.

"I'm so sorry, my sister misheard it. I'm not ready yet. If my sister wants to see it, it's not too late to see it at the Queen Mother's birthday party. Will the Queen Mother appear respectful after seeing it?" Chai Qingyue was not willing to be outdone. She had originally suspected that Bai Chudie's purpose was coming here, but now she can be confirmed.

"So that's it, let's disturb my sister. Let's watch it again at the Queen Mother's birthday party!" Seeing Chai Qingyue bringing out the Queen Mother, it means that as long as I show you now, I will be disrespectful to the Queen Mother, because the things that the Queen Mother didn't even see were seen by others, and the person who saw it would be suspected of her thoughts. Bai Chudie had to give up.

"Thank you sister to understand." Chai Qingyue temporarily relaxed her vigilance.

However, just as she and Bai Chudie continued to chat, a maid suddenly ran in and shouted: There was a fire.

Chai Qingyue was shocked and rushed out immediately and ran towards a crowded place. She found that the kitchen was on fire and the fire was not small. Seeing this situation, everyone hurriedly ignored everything and rushed out to the kitchen, carrying water bucket by bucket from the well, trying to put out the fire.
