349, Beili Country
"..." Gu Qianxue hurriedly turned her head, cold sweat broke out on her back—this prince is so courageous, just winking at her in full view? Does the crown prince know how many young ladies present are looking at him now, if someone finds out about the adultery... Bah, bah, if someone finds out that the two of them are working together, what should I do
Just when Gu Qianxue was about to look away, she felt a cold gaze appearing on her body. Although she didn't look at her, her hairs subconsciously stood on end. Gu Qianxue followed that line of sight carefully, but saw King Li beside the prince.
I saw Li Wang leaning slightly, with one hand resting on the table, and a pair of cold eyes staring at her impartially.
Stared at by Li Wang's eyes, Gu Qianxue only felt like a rabbit being stared at by a falcon, and her whole body trembled twice.
Today is not the early dynasty, and King Li is not wearing court clothes. Unlike the golden prince's clothes, King Li is wearing black clothes, but there is a golden pattern on the black clothes for the first time to show his status as a prince. Beside King Li, the young men and teenagers in various clothes also had gold patterns on their clothes. Gu Qianxue guessed that these were the emperor's sons.
Gu Qianxue's eyes were accidentally attracted by a figure in white, it was Su Lingxiao.
I saw Su Lingxiao sitting between the prince of Nanyue Kingdom and foreign nobles, which meant that his status was even more noble than that of foreign nobles, or that he received more courtesy from the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom than foreign nobles, and Su Lingxiao was talking with the people beside him.
"Those are from Beili country." Zheng Shi found out where Gu Qianxue was looking, and explained in a low voice.
Because Gu Shangshu is a second-rank official, although Gu Qianxue and others are seated in the first row, they are far away from the center. As the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so it almost describes Gu Qianxue's position.
In such a high mountain and far away from the emperor, even whispering occasionally, no one cares.
"Bei Li country is small in size and has few people, but it is the best at craftsmanship. Almost everyone in Bei Li country is a skilled craftsman, so most of the good things in this world come from Bei Li country." Zheng said.
Gu Qianxue nodded, she also knew this information, she didn't need to read any books, just searched it in the deity's mind, but she didn't expect Zheng Shi to be so enthusiastic.
But in fact, Mrs. Zheng misunderstood that Gu Qianxue looked at the rare people from Beili country before explaining, "People from Beili country have a characteristic, their eyes are gray. So if you see people with gray eyes, they must be from Beili country. Or they have the blood of Beili Kingdom."
Gu Qianxue was taken aback, "Grey eyes?" Su Lingxiao is from Beili country? Even if it is not, it still has the blood of Beili Kingdom! No wonder Su Lingxiao took out box after box of Luoyan Cang, it turned out to be a special product of Beili Country!
Mrs. Zheng smiled lovingly, nodded, and stretched out her finger to point in another direction, "Did you see the people over there? Those people are tall, with high nose and big eyes, and they are from Chuyan Kingdom." He lowered his voice, "Your grandpa I didn’t return to Beijing because the city of Dongguan was not peaceful, but I didn’t expect that Chu Yan Kingdom would be so brazen, harassing me at the Nanyue border, and at the same time pretending to celebrate the birthday of the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom, hum.”
Gu Qianxue almost laughed, because she suddenly felt that her usually snobby grandmother had a cute side, but she hated her clearly, and she was quite patriotic. Between countries, there are only interest exchanges, so how can there be any real intentions? There is no real peace or war between countries, only mutual temptation and aggression. How can these be explained clearly in a few words
The emperor of Nanyue Kingdom, who managed to celebrate his fiftieth birthday once, had to talk and laugh in front of the enemy country. It was really difficult for him, and it was not easy to be an emperor.
While thinking, Gu Qianxue looked at the legendary Chu Yanguo.
However, although the hair and eyes of the Chuyan people are black, their outlines are extremely deep. If you have to use modern races as a metaphor, it is like the combination of Middle Eastern and Western characteristics-white skin, high nose bridge, deep bird's nest, and eyes. Big crack.
Suddenly, Gu Qianxue thought of Mrs. Zhao's mixed-race appearance, and she felt a little bit of clarity in her heart. Marshal Zhao's beloved woman in his life, who is also the Madonna of the Zhao family, is probably from Chuyan! The upright and upright handsome general and the foreign woman stationed at the border did not know what kind of haunting and soul-stirring love story was performed back then.
After reporting the list of foreign nobles, envoys and gifts, the list of congratulatory gifts for the courtiers followed.
Compared with foreign aristocrats, the gifts of domestic courtiers are much more common. When approaching Gu Shangshu, Gu Qianxue pricked up her ears, curious about what gifts cheap father had prepared for the emperor.
And the result is - a book, or miscellaneous books! It's just a lonely copy.
"..." Gu Qianxue covered her face, feeling so ashamed! Whatever treasures other people give away, they will give a book! This cheap father is also true. A while ago, he caught something big and found fault with her and interrogated her three times. However, such an important matter as the emperor's birthday was actually done behind closed doors, even if he discussed it with her. baby stuff.
But unexpectedly, the emperor was very happy to get this book, and asked the eunuch to deliver the book immediately, and turned two pages.
Gu Qianxue was dumbfounded.
Zheng's smile was a little smug, "I didn't expect that, the emperor regards your father very highly."
Gu Qianxue continued to be dumbfounded, and nodded blankly. The emperor thinks highly of Gu Shangshu, who uses his nepotism to get to the top? How blind is this emperor
Zheng's voice was lowered, "Look at the princes beside His Royal Highness, right? The eldest of these princes is the Second Prince, who is twenty years old this year, and the youngest Seventh Prince, who is five years old this year, and his mother clan is either rich or noble and powerful. , everyone... Cough, you understand even if I don’t tell you?”
Gu Qianxue nodded hastily, "Understood." Zheng wanted to say that everyone has the chance to overthrow the prince and become the prince himself. It can also be said that if he has the chance to be the emperor, he will have many courtiers around him.
Mrs. Zheng continued, "Among the princes, the only one who does not win courtiers is His Royal Highness Li Wang. The courtiers are almost close to a certain prince, but your father is one of the few neutral courtiers. Your father He doesn't like to socialize, has a docile personality and doesn't fight, the emperor appreciates it the most."
Gu Qianxue also understood - yes, if she were the emperor, she would also like such a non-threatening person.
The lengthy gift list was finally read, and it took three full hours!
The gifts passed through the main hall like a revolving lantern, and then were moved into the warehouse, and the celebration officially began. Accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo music, the dancers "swim" in from the backstage of the main hall like beautiful koi tails, followed by a graceful dance.
