The people of the capital raised the city to celebrate, and in the palace, the annual birthday banquet was also ready to begin.

Naturally, the messengers of various countries have not only prepared a gift, but the precious and numerous gifts have been sent to the treasury in advance, and the only thing left in their hands is the most important gift waiting to be given at the banquet.

Before Shen Shi, the palace banquet had already begun to prepare. The people from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were busy with the etiquette of the palace banquet. When the time came, they brought in the messengers and ministers of the princes and ministers one by one to sit down.

Chu Wei's official position was not high, so he couldn't have a banquet. He stayed in the mansion and listened to the hilarity outside, and couldn't help but frown slightly, revealing a faint smile.

A humble gentleman, as pure as jade. Mrs. Chu looked at him in the hall, looked at him, couldn't help laughing, and said to the maid next to her, "Look, our brother Wei is getting more handsome."

The maid said, "I can't find anyone more handsome than our young master in the entire capital."

When Chu Wei walked in, he happened to hear this sentence, and he couldn't help but say, "Yes."

But when the curious eyes of others came over, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Chu rolled her eyes at him, and suddenly remembered something, "When you were on duty yesterday, someone came to give you a gift."

Chu Wei said, "Who?"

Mrs. Chu asked someone to bring the ceremony up and thought about it: "That person claimed to be a person from Mingsheng Post, dressed in fancy clothes, and should be a waiter of the foreign dynasty. My son, how did you get involved with the messenger of the foreign dynasty? "

Chu Wei frowned slowly, he stepped forward to take the gift from the servant's hand, opened it, and found that it was the golden flower accessories often found in Xixia. Sure enough, disgust flashed across Chu Wei's eyes, he threw the gift directly back into the servant's hands, and said coldly, "Go back."

Prince Xixia looks like a dog, but his mind is dirty. He is the most sanitary-

Chu Wei suddenly thought of himself.

He caught his breath, ignored his mother's cry, and turned to leave the hall.

When he stepped out of the threshold, Chu Wei suddenly thought.

The prince of Xixia was so pretentious when he saw him. If he saw the saint, wouldn't it be even more rude

*

Li Angshun was brought to his seat by the officials of Honglu Temple, and the rest of the Xixia envoys sat behind him. Sitting next to Xixia is the messenger of Fusang Kingdom.

The messenger of the Fusang Kingdom wanted to have a few words with the Prince of Xixia, but looking at Li Angshun's ugly face, he wisely withdrew his gaze, and continued to talk and laugh with the officials of Honglu Temple.

Li Angshun's face was ugly for a while, but he recovered. He followed the black hair under the felt hat and said, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't see Chu Wei's figure. Today is the birthday banquet of Emperor Daheng, and I don't believe that. The prince and the prince who are willing to give me half face will not come out today."

The envoy of Xixia asked: "Seventh prince, if you and the prince appear, what will you do?"

"Just in front of the emperor of Daheng and the messengers of various countries, let him not come down from the stage," Li Angshun sneered, "in order to avenge my face."

"It's not shameful for us to be ashamed."

Later, the princes and ministers and the envoys from various countries have already taken their seats. The hall is resplendent with gold and blue, and the lamp has been lit, as bright as the light of day.

Sitting with the prince at the bottom of the front row is the most forward position.

He and the prince took a look at the birthday gift that he brought. The splendid mountain and river map embroidered by hundreds of embroidered mothers in the palace has been sent to the national treasury. Now this thing is still in his heart, and he went out to find it two days ago. s things.

Looking at this birthday gift, Prince He couldn't help but question himself. With Gu Yuanbai's skeptical appearance, why did he have to do his best

The emperor didn't see him as a brother, and he had to rush to put a cold face on him.

Just when he was in a state of irritability, the eunuch outside shouted: "The Holy One is here."

A group of people stood up in Wuyangyang in the hall. Everyone lowered their eyes and cupped their hands. The feet of the bright yellow robe embroidered with dragon patterns slipped in front of them, and the palace attendants followed closely behind. After the sage sat down, he said, "Sit down."

The voice was a little familiar, Li Angshun's brow suddenly jumped, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Emperor Daheng.

Gu Yuanbai had already taken off his heavy and luxurious robes and put on his regular clothes. He was talking to the big eunuch beside him with his head sideways. He was far away, and his face was only blurred, but his chin was thin and his temperament was striking, exactly the same as the person who coldly ordered Li Angshun on the carriage that day.

This person turned out to be the emperor of Daheng!

Li Angshun's face changed.

The person behind him tugged at Li Angshun's robe, Li Angshun recovered his senses, and sat down with strength. The Fusang messenger beside him smiled and said, "Why is the face of the Seventh Prince of Xixia so ugly?"

Li Angshun said firmly: "It's nothing."

The eunuch in the back stepped forward to fill the wine, and his hand holding the wine glass was hard, and his expression was gloomy.

It turned out to be the emperor of the Daheng Dynasty! It's really a joke.

How could he forget that the body of the emperor of the Daheng Dynasty was not that good. He said so in the capital, who is not the emperor

Li Angshun raised his head and looked up, his face with deep facial features seemed to be condensed with black clouds. From such a distance, it was impossible to see the emperor's appearance, but his actions were very noble.

Jiaofang artists entered the hall to sing and dance. Gu Yuanbai glanced down and asked the Prince He with a smile, "What is that on the Prince He's table?"

He blocked the wooden box with the prince and put away his sleeves. This was the first time he had personally prepared a gift for Gu Yuanbai. Ashamed and irritable, he said sullenly, "A gift to the Holy One."

Gu Yuanbai looked at Tian Fusheng, and Tian Fusheng reminded: "Sir, what was sent to the palace with the Prince's Palace was an embroidered picture of "Splendid Mountains and Rivers"."

"I have a heart with the prince," Gu Yuanbai nodded slightly and smiled again, "I have to guess what this gift is in my hand."

He took a sip of clear water that was used as wine, thought about the habit of giving gifts to the late emperor with the prince, and said, "Is it a rare stone and good jade?"

He answered the prince solemnly, the eunuch stepped forward to take his gifts and present them, and with the prince waved them back, he stood up and walked in front of Gu Yuanbai, "I was looking for it a few days ago, and I found one that looked good. A passable stone."

Tian Fusheng opened the wooden box, and inside was a piece of jade shaped like ginseng. The whole body was dark red, with a few strands of gold threads flowing in it. Such a rare and beautiful thing could easily make people feel that it was linked to legends such as gods. . Gu Yuanbai took it and glanced at it, "I like it very much."

He wanted to laugh with the prince, but he kept his face straight and said indifferently, "It's good that the Holy One likes it."

Taking the lead with the prince, everyone took turns offering their congratulations. This gift is about thought and novelty, and there are really a few strange things in it that Gu Yuanbai likes.

The officials are in the front, and the messengers of various countries are in the back. After seeing Daheng sending troops to the north, many of these messengers secretly added gifts. Looking at the things presented by messengers from other countries at this time, they are both surprised and fortunate. the least people.

Looking at this scene, the expressions of Xixia people are not very good.

The envoys of Xixia came to Daheng this time, firstly to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Daheng, and secondly to inquire about the current situation of Daheng Kingdom. The third is that Xixia asked for Daheng, so he dispatched the seventh prince to prepare a generous gift, just want to talk to Emperor Daheng about the field.

Kuichang is the name of the two countries when they traded on the border. Xixia Elementary School lacked resources and could not be self-sufficient. Many things had to rely on the mutual market of Kuichang, but two months before Li Angshun came to Daheng, Daheng Suddenly stopped the battle with Xixia.

Xixia was caught off guard.

Daheng, the young horse, has always relied on Xixia to earn money for horses. It stands to reason that Daheng unilaterally shut down the farm so arrogantly, so he is not afraid of a deadlock with Xixia, and there is no stable source of horses

This time Xixia sent the seventh prince to Daheng for this very reason. However, Li Angshun maintains that Ma Yuan and Daheng's domestic salt dealers are inseparable from Xixia Qingyan. He is full of confidence and acts quite arrogant and domineering.

This domineering, domineering on the head of the emperor.

Originally thought that these generous gifts were enough to make amends, but at this time they looked at the generous gifts on the national equipment in front of them, only to feel puzzled and absurd.

Could it be that all the foreign messengers have something to do with Daheng

Xixia's gift was originally very thick, but now it is completely submerged in the comparison, and it is not outstanding at all.

When it was Xixia's turn to present the gift, the Xixia messenger behind him held a heavy gift and wanted to hand it to the eunuch beside him. Li Angshun suddenly got up, grabbed the gift and strode forward. The eyes of the hall were focused on him. Li Angshun As I got closer, I finally could see the appearance of Emperor Daheng.

Emperor Daheng noticed him, glanced slightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Angshun's footsteps stopped, and after a moment, he strode forward. When he walked in front of Gu Yuanbai, he hadn't even said a word, and the eunuch who followed him respectfully said, "Your Majesty, this is the messenger from Xixia, Li Angshun, the seventh prince of Xixia Kingdom."

"I have some impressions," Gu Yuanbai said with a half-smile, "Prince of Xixia, you are very reckless."

Emperor Daheng obviously didn't say anything, but it seemed that he had already ridiculed people. Li Ang said in his heart, it's not wrong, the tone was the same person in the car that day.

He bowed to Gu Yuanbai according to the etiquette of Xixia, and smiled apologetically: "People who have no knowledge will always use bluffing methods to conceal their uneasiness. Daheng Dynasty has a lot of resources and outstanding people. I am new to Daheng. I was fascinated by the prosperity of Daheng, and my heart was cowardly, so I did something wrong. If you hate Xixia because of my actions, then I will die without regret."

Gu Yuanbai raised his hand lightly, motioning him to get up, "But he can talk."

Li Angshun stood up straight and saw the handsome face of Emperor Daheng again. Li Angshun likes handsome people, not to mention other things, just talking about appearance, Emperor Daheng has a face that makes people unable to resent him.

"The gift from Xixia, I saw it, it's very heavy," Gu Yuanbai said slowly, "From the spices to the felt blanket, from the camel to the horse, this is a lot of effort."

Li Angshun smiled, and the golden flowers on his clothes shone brightly. His appearance was very good, and his facial features were as deep as an eagle, but the arrogance in his eyes really ruined his goodwill and ruined such a good appearance, "Your birthday, Xixia will definitely be Work hard."

He handed the gift in his hand to the eunuch, and the eunuch stepped forward and handed it over to Tian Fusheng.

As soon as the exquisite wooden box was opened, there was a faint fluorescent light inside. Tian Fusheng put the wooden box in front of Gu Yuanbai. It turned out that it was a spherical, beautifully colored, translucent night pearl.

What is even more rare is that even under the candlelight in the hall, which is as bright as day, this night pearl actively exudes a beautiful fluorescent color, and the yellow-green radiates blue light, like a treasure in the deep sea.

Li Angshun's face was faintly arrogant. Even though there were many night pearls in the Daheng royal family, this one was definitely the best among them.

"Good things," Gu Yuanbai really sighed, "I never thought that Xixia would have such good things."

Li Angshun didn't hear the danger in the words of the Lord of Daheng. He smiled complacently and said loudly: "Although I am not as good as Daheng in Xixia, the good things are like the crucian carp crossing the river, there are countless!"

Gu Yuanbai took the night pearl in the wooden box into his hand, the tentacles were round and full, and one hand could just hold it. He played with this night pearl, and the faint fluorescence showed a faint blue in his eyes.

"very nice."

Xixia, what a great place.

Green salt, camels, horses, sheep, beeswax, musk umbilicus, wool brown, antelope horns... Such a good place, such a good night pearl, Gu Yuanbai really likes Xixia.

The sage was very emotional. He asked Tian Fusheng to put the night pearl on, and looked at Li Angshun gently with a smile, as if looking at a gold mine. Such eyes made Li Angshun look hot.

Such a good place should be in his hands and become part of Daheng, right.
