Wine into sorrow
Nangong Mistress was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and asked, "Have you quarreled with your brother-in-law again?"
Nangong Jingnu showed a bitter smile: "No."
If it really was a quarrel, it would be easier to resolve it. She didn't know how the couples next to each other got along, but Qi Yan had never blushed with herself...
"That is?"
"Second sister, don't mention this person again."
She finally persuaded herself to stop thinking about it, and she would be sad to hear everything about Qi Yan.
Nangong Shunv's lips moved, and she wrapped her arms around Nangong Jingnv tightly, and she was finally speechless.
After a while, Nangong Jingnv asked, "What's your life like?"
Seeing that the other party was puzzled, Nangong Jingnu asked again, "Second sister avoided Lu Zhongxing's routine greeting, how is your life?"
Nangong Shun replied indifferently: "The left is just like that, how it was in the past and how it will be in the future."
Nangong Jingnu savoured this sentence carefully and sighed, "Yeah, wasn't he alone before he got married?" I don't know how much happier the days are than now.
"Second sister, let's go out. It's time for the royal brothers to arrive."
"it is good."
Except for Nangong Pinghe, the fifth prince, Nangongda, who is inconvenient to move, and the seventh prince, Nangongli, who has always been a secluded person, who sent someone to send gifts, all the other adult princes came.
The second prince Nangong Wei gave a pair of jade cabbage, the third prince Nangong Wang gave a set of wine glasses of various materials, and the fourth prince Nangong Zhen’s gift was a boat carved from ivory. Every character on the boat was vivid and vivid. treasure.
The sixth prince, Nangong Lie, was still acting erratically, and actually took two jars of wine and placed them in front of Nangong Jingnu: "Little sister, these two jars are made from pear blossoms for fifty years. The color is like amber, and the taste is long..."
Nangong Jingnu patted the Kaifeng mud on the spot and sniffed: "It really is a good wine. The third brother sent a set of wine glasses, and the sixth brother sent two jars of wine. Did you discuss it?"
Nangong Wang smiled and said, "Who in the palace doesn't know? You, Your Highness Zhen Zhen, are the most greedy of cups, and the wine cups are given to the little wine bugs to make the most of them."
The other princes all laughed along with them, like a family that was very harmonious.
"Why don't you see my brother-in-law?" Nangong Lie asked.
Nangong Shunv took the conversation and replied, "It should be there soon."
While speaking, the maid trotted all the way to report: "Your Highness, Ya Fei Niangniang came to the banquet at His Majesty's order, and the concubine also came."
It turned out that Nangong asked her to miss her beloved daughter, and Jiya claimed that she was very "connected" with the two princesses, so she ordered Yafei to attend the banquet instead of herself.
But not wanting to bump into Qi Yan who just came on foot, Qi Yan raised her arms and bowed respectfully: "See Empress Ya Fei."
Ji Ya nodded: "Your Majesty asked me to come to the banquet for him."
Qi Yan didn't say anything, walked a few steps behind Jiya, and stopped outside the mansion gate.
Ji Ya turned back and asked strangely, "Aren't you coming in?"
Qi Yan lowered her eyes and replied softly, "Yili, the concubine is not allowed to enter the princess' mansion without permission."
Ji Ya looked at Qi Yan, with amber eyes filled with unknown emotions, Qi Yan lowered her eyes to avoid looking at Ji Ya.
Eyes of the same color, but with a completely different look.
Ji Ya, as always, has the confidence of a princess of the grassland in her eyes, and is unrestrained, while Qi Yan has completely become a scholar of Wei State, humble and deep, and abides by etiquette.
Ji Ya returned to Qi Yan: "Then I'll wait with you."
Qi Yan took a step back and opened up the distance from Jiya: "The maid is here by order, you can enter by yourself."
"I'd rather wait."
"As you wish."
Nangong Wang heard that Jiya was also coming, and suddenly felt a kind of claws scratching his heart.
After so long, he will never forget this woman...
Nangong Shunv reminded: "Little sister, Yafei Niangniang is here by order, let's go and greet you."
Everyone came to the front of the mansion together and saw Jiya and Qi Yan standing side by side with different expressions.
The second prince, Nangong Wei, and his younger brother, Nangong Zhen, looked at each other and laughed lightly.
All of Nangong Wang's attention was attracted by Ji Ya. The woman in front of her was even more attractive than when she first met her. When she thought of her going to love her father, who was over fifty years old, every night, she could not wait to replace her.
The sixth prince, Nangong Lie, just glanced at Ya Fei, and then set his eyes on Qi Yan's face.
Nangong Shunv saw Jiya staring at her with bright eyes, and immediately turned her eyes away.
Nangong Jingnu walked up to the two of them in silence, and controlled herself not to look at Qi Yan: "Ya Fei, please."
Ji Ya took Nangong Jingnu's arm and said happily, "Your Majesty asked me to come and sit for him, and I brought you a gift."
Nangong Jingnu pulled out her arm: "Thank you, Empress Yafei."
Entering the main hall, Nangong Shunv's eyes wandered between Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnv.
She always felt that Qi Yan's character was good, and she didn't want to see her little sister follow in her footsteps, so she helped: "What gift did my brother-in-law prepare for my little sister?"
Everyone looked at Qi Yan, and saw that she took out a stick of ink from her sleeve and handed it to Nangong Jingnu with both hands: "This Fang Huimo is given to His Royal Highness..."
Everyone looked at each other: Qi Yan's gift is too shabby, right
As far as gifts are concerned, unless they are isolated ancient books, famous calligraphy and paintings, or antique treasures, such as the ivory carvings given by the fourth prince, it is better to have an even number.
Although Hui Mo is good, it is not a rare thing. According to the rules, Qi Yan should at least send a set of four treasures of the study to be decent.
Even if it's a single gift, you should find a box to pack it. Why does it feel like Qi Yan didn't prepare a gift at all, just grabbed an object from the desk and sent it
Take a closer look: this ingot has really used traces, and everyone's eyes are getting more complicated.
Nangong Jingnv bit her lip with a pale face, not because she thought the gift was shabby, but this ingot emblem was obviously taken from the princess' mansion when he established the mansion.
What treasure has she not seen? Even if Qi Yan buys anything from the street, she can accept it, but Qi Yan clearly asked about her birthday, but she just took something from the treasury to deal with herself!
Nangong Jingnu took a deep breath and grabbed Mo Ding: "The concubine has a heart."
I vaguely glimpsed that there seemed to be several wounds on Qi Yan's fair fingers. Before she could see it clearly, the other party had already retracted his hand.
"His Royal Highness likes it." Qi Yan said without changing his face.
Everyone looked at Nangong Jingnu again, tsk tsk admiration: Is it really that you are used to eating delicious food from mountains and seas, and prefer wild vegetables? What's so rare about a used stick of old ink? Or does it have a special meaning
Ji Ya also took out a gift, an unpretentious little machete: "I brought this knife from Luobei. It can blow hair and break hair."
"Thank you, Lady Yafei."
Everyone took their seats. Nangong Jingnu was the birthday star who sat in the main seat. She wanted to sit with Qi Yan, but when she saw that the other party chose the last seat, she turned to invite Ji Ya.
However, Ji Ya declined the invitation and sat beside Nangong Shunv...
Nangong Jingnu ordered a banquet, and personally took a jar of pear blossom fermented for fifty years and put it on her case.
Nangong Wang's position was just opposite to Ji Ya, and he frequently used his sleeves to spy on him under the guise of drinking.
Nangong Jingnu held up the wine glass: "The first cup, to honor the father and the emperor."
Nangong Jingnu held up the wine glass again: "The second cup, may the father emperor be healthy and healthy."
The crowd had to fill up and drink another cup.
Nangong Jingnv raised the glass again: "The third cup, thank you for coming. Jingnv will do it first as a tribute."
When you're done, drink it up.
Several princes have a certain amount of alcohol, and it's okay to drink three glasses.
Nangong Shunv was incapable of drinking, and after drinking the second cup, her blush climbed to her cheeks.
Seeing that the other imperial brothers had drank the third cup, she frowned and added another cup for herself...
A white hand appeared in his sight and took his wine glass away.
Nangong Shunv exclaimed, "Empress Yafei?"
Ji Ya drank Nangong Shunv's wine, put the wine glass back where it was, and picked up her own glass to drink.
Nangong Shunv's face turned red all of a sudden. Even mothers, daughters, and husbands and wives in Wei Kingdom would not share a lamp... .
Ji Ya raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "It really is a good wine."
If it wasn't for Nangong Shunv who didn't want to embarrass her little sister, she really wanted to leave!
"Lily, give this palace another cup."
Ji Ya suppressed Nangong Shunv's hand, turned her head and said to Lily, "Go down."
Lily was in a dilemma and called out, "Your Highness?"
Nangong Shunv sighed softly, "It's Concubine Yiya."
Ji Ya smiled, put it on Nangong Shunv's ear and said softly: "If you can't drink it, don't drink it. Your sister drinks because she is in a bad mood, why are you?"
Nangong Shunv shifted her body, but she secretly marveled: This lady's eyes are very keen.
Suddenly, Jiya felt a trace of prying eyes, turned her head and saw Nangong Wang sitting in the opposite position, her eyes were all too familiar to her.
Nangong Wang didn't expect to be looked at by the main lord, so he turned his eyes away in panic, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Jiya smiling.
At this moment, Nangong Wang couldn't take his eyes off. All etiquette, integrity, and court etiquette were all forgotten.
There is only one voice roaring in my heart: it is also romantic to die as a ghost under the peony.
Ji Ya slowly restrained her smile and picked up her wine glass.
From someone else's point of view, it was nothing more than a drink for oneself, but in Nangong Wang's eyes, it became an invitation.
He hurriedly scooped a glass and drank the wine in it.
Ji Ya withdrew her gaze, and there was a shallow arc on her lips, and Nangong Wang swayed in body and mind.
A few glasses of wine into the belly, lovesick again. Nangong Jingnu looked in Qi Yan's direction, but saw that the other party was looking elsewhere.
Following Qi Yan's gaze, Nangong Jingnu saw Ji Ya, the woman with a face close to a monster, and the curvature of her lips was too late to hide.
Nangong Jingnu was stunned: Compared with this alien woman, even her second sister, whose appearance is higher than her own, is eclipsed...
What is Qi Yan looking at? What is Ji Ya laughing at again
Nangong Jingnv felt as if her heart was being run over by a roller. She lowered her head and looked at the amber nectar in the cup, like Qi Yan's eyes.
If he had drank three cups before, this person would definitely talk about it endlessly, even at the palace banquet, under the eyes of the father.
But today is the fifth cup.
Qi Yan, you...
