Learning a lesson from the witch doll, the steward was asking the new servants to clean the yard one by one, and didn't let go of even a corner. Qian Yin stood aside and watched, too. She was busy until it was getting dark.
When Yun Shang was about to return to the yard, a servant came over with a red invitation card. "Sister Qian Yin, this is an invitation card from the Lord Hua Guo Mansion. He said that he would entertain lady Hua Guo in his mansion the day after tomorrow."
Qian Yin smiled at the sight of the invitation, "Okay, I'll send it to you, your highness."
When Qian Yin returned to the yard with the invitation, Yun Shang had already woken up, leaning against the bed and staring blankly. Qian Yin quickly walked over to her, and said, "Your Highness, the Lord Hua Guo Mansion has sent the invitation card. They said that Lady Hua Guo will entertain her birthday party in the Lord Hua Guo Mansion the day after tomorrow."
Yun Shang was surprised. She turned around, "The day after tomorrow? Why didn't anyone tell me about it? " After a pause, she remembered that when she came to the state of Xia just now, the investigation material of the secret guards didn't mention the birthday of the ladies in the mansion.
"Do you have any good birthday present?" Yun Shang asked.
Qian Yin meditated for a moment and said, "When you left the State of Ning, his majesty has also given you many things, all of which are treasures. We've brought them together, so we can pick some."
However, Yun Shang was not satisfied. "Lord Hua Guo's wife loves prince and me very much. If she only select one of the treasures as a gift, she won't be that heartless."
After a moment's reflection, Yun Shang turned to Qian Yin. "Prepare the writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones. I've drawn a picture of the immortal celebrate the birthday for her. Though it's not precious, what our heartness is the most important."
Qian Yin said yes and went to make preparations.
After taking out the writing brush, ink sticks, paper and ink stone, Yun Shang sat up and drew in front of the desk.
It took Yun Shang a whole day and night to draw a three meter long longevity picture of the immortal celebrate the birthday. Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to decorate this picture in the treasure house.
On the day of Lord Hua Guo's birthday, Yun Shang gets up early in the morning, and goes to the mansion with Qian Yin and two maids. As Lord Hua Guo had been stirring up trouble outside, the birthday party wasn't held as fiercely as it should have been. Lord Hua Guo's sons had invited many concubines.
As soon as Yun Shang entered the house, she was called to the garden house in the backyard. In the garden house, Lady Hua Guo and several old women were standing and watching the play. They were singing endlessly on the stage. Yun Shang stopped for a while, and then walked towards Lady Hua Guo.
