Birthday Preparation

"Mo Lu, you shouldn't be asking what you already know. My grandmother is Empress Dowager and my First Uncle is Xuanyan Wu Hen…" he looked at Mo Lu with meaning. 

"I'm sorry, your Highness. I was foolish." 

"You don't have to. I might also be wrong. My imperial Uncle might be doing this for some other reasons. Whatever it is, time shall time. Send Mo Xu to the Palace with the letter, don't keep grandmother waiting."

"Yes, your highness." Mo Lu bowed before leaving.   

The next morning…

As early as the first cockcrow, the City was busy with preparations for the Son of heaven's birthday. Even though most people hates him, it didn't mean his birthday would be ignored. Custom needs to be adhered to. 

Just like every other family, the Su Residence was also busy. The maids, Madam, Concubines, sons, and daughters were all awake and each of them carrying out their duties.
