It arrived in a matter of ten days.

On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, every household that received the invitation would get up early to take a shower and change clothes.

Check your clothes, check your gifts, and prepare congratulatory messages over and over again.

It is an honor to receive this precious invitation, and no one can make the slightest mistake.

After confirming again and again and getting ready, the person who received the invitation took a carriage and rushed to the palace gate.

This year's birthday banquet was so grand that in order to prevent anyone from sneaking in, three teams of imperial guards were posted at the palace gate to guard it.

The two rows of royal guards on the left and right all wore daggers on their heads, brand-new shiny armor, and long riding boots, and each held a horizontal sword in his hand.

Another group of royal guards, armed with bows and arrows, were arranged on the outside.

Looking at this posture, the ministers and children who accompanied their parents were all trembling with fear and spoke in a low voice, for fear of angering these imperial guards and having them executed on the spot.

Zeng Ziyu and Shen Juan met each other as soon as they got off the carriage. When they got together, Shen Juan asked: "Is that idiot Ling Yu here?"

"I didn't see it! How dare she come to such an occasion unless she is really stupid!" Zeng Ziyu said disdainfully.

"Why is Xu Yan here?" Shen Juan turned around and saw Xu Yan and asked strangely.

Zeng Ziyu covered her lips and smiled: "She, like many others, came to see the fun!"

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is a big event. Everyone wants to come and see the splendid scene, and also want to see if they are honored to have a glimpse of the miraculous doctor!"

"Besides, I heard that someone was gambling in the casino, betting that Ling Yu wouldn't dare come to the birthday banquet with fake invitations!"

"No! Isn't the banker sure of losing money? Anyone with any brains would only bet on Ling Yu and not dare to come! Who would bet on Ling Yu!" Shen Juan shook her head and sneered.

Zeng Ziyu smiled and said: "No! I don't know if this banker is mentally ill. He will definitely lose all his money this time!"

"You are wrong about this news! I heard that the betting game has been changed! Everyone is betting on whether Ling Yu can enter the palace with the fake invitation! They all bet on it and lose a hundred!"

Princess Pingyang happened to be passing by and heard the conversation between the two.

"Yes! How can I, the princess, miss such a good thing? I just asked my nanny to bet 20,000 silver that Ling Yu can't enter the palace!"

"Ah, Princess, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have used my own money to place bets!"

Shen Juan and Zeng Ziyu cried out in regret.

"It's too late! Look at the outermost edge, the casino people are registering at the cashier!"

Princess Pingyang pointed to the outermost area and said with a smile: "Not only do they collect cash, they also charge valuable jade pendants and jewelry at market prices!"

Shen Juan and the two took a look and saw that there were indeed many people surrounding the outermost area.

The two of them called their maids, gave them all the banknotes they had with them, and urged the maids to register.

Just as the maid was about to leave, Zeng Ziyu stopped her again. Zeng Ziyu was cruel and stuffed her newly bought gold hairpin worth two hundred taels into the maid's hand.

When Shen Juan saw it, she quickly pulled out her jade hairpin and gave it to the maid.

"It's a pity that I only found out now. If I had known earlier, I would have brought more banknotes!" Shen Juan said regretfully.

"That's right, don't give up the free money! I bet two hundred taels of silver notes, plus the gold hairpin, and I'll lose one hundred, so didn't I earn nearly forty thousand? Did I make a mistake?"

Zeng Ziyu pulled Shen Juan and asked in disbelief.

Shen Juan said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I also bet two hundred taels, and my gold hairpin is worth two hundred and fifty taels! Wow, I'm rich. I just hope Ling Yu will come quickly and let me make some money." !”

An Zhe heard their conversation not far away, called his servant, and took 20,000 silver notes to place a bet that Ling Yu could get in.

The boy couldn't believe his ears and whispered: "Master, are you wrong? If you bet on Ling Yu to win, wouldn't you lose everything?"

An Zhe glared at the young man and cursed: "I'm not old yet! How can I talk so confusingly, betting that Ling Yu will win, betting that Ling Yu will win, betting that Ling Yu will win, do you hear me clearly?"

"If you dare to make a wrong bet for me, I will skin you!"

The boy's eyes lit up and he asked quietly: "Master, do you have any inside information?"

"Go away... I have too much money to burn, okay? I just like Ling Yu, okay?"

An Zhe kicked the boy, and the boy ran away with a smile.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he saw that his father was good at eating, drinking and gambling, and rarely lost!

Yes, if he bets fifty taels with me, he will definitely not lose!

Soon, everyone who had deposited money was in the same mood as Shen Juan, waiting eagerly for Ling Yu's arrival, hoping for the stars and the moon.

A luxurious carriage arrived, and it definitely wasn't Ling Yu's. She couldn't afford to ride in such a luxurious carriage!

Another double carriage came. Ling Yu was not qualified to ride in such a carriage!

Uncle Guo is here, Prince Yi is here, Prince Kang and his wife are here, Prince Wei and his family are also here...

Everyone was looking forward to it, and a few people who wanted to curry favor with the powerful stayed where they were, fearing that they would miss the sight of Ling Yu coming!

This is a big deal that affects your wallet!

Just when everyone was anxious, a simple carriage pulled by a thin horse came rickety...

"That must be Ling Yu's!"

Shen Juan's heart was lifted, she grabbed Zeng Ziyu's arm and whispered.

"What should I do? I'm so nervous... Do you think she will be hacked to death by the Imperial Guards on the spot when she comes over with the fake invitation?"

"Isn't that better? We can make money!"

Zeng Ziyu consoled her: "Just stop looking for a while! Just think about how you can buy a lot of beautiful dresses and jewelry with your 40,000 taels of silver!"

Ling Yu got off the carriage under the expectant gaze of everyone.

Shen Juan glanced disdainfully at her dark red cloak and veil on her face, not in the mood to mock her for not having enough money to buy new clothes.

To a dying man, whatever he wears is the same!

"Go over quickly...go over quickly!"

She and Zeng Ziyu held hands, and their hands were sweating nervously...

"Miss...why are so many people looking at us?"

As soon as Ling Xin got out of the car, she felt countless eyes directed at them. She was so frightened that her legs trembled a little.

"Looking at the money!"

Ling Yu smiled slightly, "In this world, only money is loved by everyone! We are money in their eyes! Ling Xin, believe it or not, after passing this door, we will all become rich!"

Ling Xin smiled shyly and said in a low voice: "Miss, you are making fun of me. I only have five hundred taels of silver that you gave me. How can I be considered rich?"

"One hundred taels for each loss! Your five hundred taels of silver notes will soon turn into fifty thousand!"

Ling Yu looked around and saw that Geng Xiaohao's subordinates had stopped collecting gambling money.

She smiled slightly and Geng Xiaohao gave her 50,000 yuan in silver notes. In today's gambling game, she was repaying his favor!

"Let's go! Hold your head high and don't embarrass me, Miss!"

Seeing Ling Yu leading Ling Yue towards the palace gate step by step, those who were brave enough opened their eyes to take a good look.

At the gate of the palace, Commander Pang of the Royal Forest Army was on duty personally. Commander Pang was very tall and burly.

Wearing a mighty armor, the scars on his dark face make him look even more ferocious and powerful.

He had already heard from Deputy Chief Ouchi that on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday party, someone might sneak into the palace with two fake invitations.

Pang Tong was very alert when he heard this. The palace was an important place, and the safety of the nobles was the first priority. How could he tolerate a scoundrel sneaking into the palace with fake invitations?

So he carefully checked the invitation today. When it was Ling Yu's turn, Ling Xin informed him of Ling Yu's name as Princess Yi.

Commander Pang had never met Princess Yi before and had only heard some bad rumors about her.

But he is not a gossip person. He adheres to the principle of not believing in rumors and sticks to business matters.

"Princess Yi, please take out the invitation. I have to check it, General!"

Ling Xin was so frightened that she took out the invitation and handed it to Commander Pang with both hands.

Everyone held their breath and watched nervously.

Commander Pang took the invitation, looked at the front, then looked inside, and looked at it for a long time...

His face suddenly darkened, and when everyone saw it, their hearts were in their throats...

"Bold, you dare to forge the Queen Mother's invitation...seeking death..."

Commander Pang roared angrily.

Just after hearing a few clang clangs, the row of Imperial Guards in front suddenly rushed over, with their swords and guns at Ling Yu's neck.

The archers on the periphery behind also let out an earth-shattering roar. All the shiny iron bows were equipped with iron arrows, and they all pointed at Ling Yu...

Swords are at war, swords are flashing, swords are flashing... murderous intent!
