"You also know that my previous serious illness was also because I was on the verge of death, so I became enlightened. WWw, QuAnBen-XIaoShuo, CoM These days, I study Buddhist scriptures every day and have a deep understanding. Happiness is not achieved by gaining in the world. Looking at The happiness of the person I like is also happiness. I am able to chant sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures for Brother Xiao and his family every day, which is enough in my heart.”
Murong Xiu hugged her gently and said, "Meier, you are really different from before."
Song Meier laughed and asked: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you. I used to be extravagant and arrogant. Why would you be willing to be friends with me?"
Murong Xiu inserted the hairpin on the table into Song Mei'er's head and said with a smile: "That's because, no matter how unruly and arrogant you were back then, you lived a real life. You didn't use scheming to calculate or deliberately Hide your expression, so I am willing to be friends with you."
At this time, a eunuch shouted outside the door: "Princess, it's time for you to go to the banquet."
. . . . . .
Xiao Yueye was almost lying on the table like Ouyang Xiaohua. This juggling was really boring. Xiao Yueyue could only do a few tricks such as pedaling a plate and picking a bamboo hoop, almost falling asleep watching it.
Finally, when the troupe went down, a group of bands playing erhu and guzheng came up. Xiao Yueye knew that it seemed that dinner was ready.
Sure enough, in the midst of the crowd's attention and the screams of the eunuchs, Murong Xiu walked slowly and gracefully, bowed to everyone gracefully, and then sat down next to the emperor.
After waiting and saying a lot of official words, I finally heard the words "the banquet is open". Seeing the palace maids quickly serving up the delicacies, Ouyang Xiaohua and Xiao Yueye immediately cheered up and attacked the delicacies on the table.
"Well, this chicken is not as good as the chrysanthemum."
"Why is this fish so fishy!"
"Is this a bear paw? Why is it so small?"
"Bah, this fish pond won't be replaced by fans, right?"
Xiao Yueye was fussy while eating, and Ouyang Xiaohua beside her nodded repeatedly. Both of them were fed and held in their mouths by Yin Caiju. If they ate the food cooked by Yu Chu, one of them would be scolded.
In fact, these dishes are not as bad as they said. You can tell by looking at the relish on the faces of everyone on the other tables.
Why don't you look at your own table
Because no one else could eat it, not because it tasted bad, but because they were disgusted by the forms of Xiao Yueye and Ouyang Xiaohua. The only one who was calm was Zhuge Xiaodao. He chewed slowly and didn't care at all about the fussy voices from Xiao Yueye and Ouyang Xiaohua's mouths.
"Both of you, this meal is not for just one of you, right?" a man said while suppressing his anger.
Xiao Yueye raised her head and looked at him in confusion, unable to figure out whether he was the second son of the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple or the third son of the Minister of Zhongshu. But it was none of his business. He poked Ouyang Xiaohua and whispered: "Xiaohua, people asked if this meal is for just one of us?"
Ouyang Xiaohua still stuffed her mouth with unknown food and said vaguely: "Isn't this nonsense? We are two people, how can we be one person?"
The man suddenly became speechless and wanted to get angry, but then he remembered the purpose of his visit today and could only suppress his temper.
However, there were others who were dissatisfied and said: "Can't you two be more polite? Today is the princess's birthday banquet, not a donation from the capital."
What he meant was, how can you two be as virtuous as beggars
Xiao Yueye and Ouyang Xiaohua ignored him, then ate something, threw away their chopsticks, leaned on their chairs, and drank tea comfortably.
Ouyang Xiaohua chuckled: "I didn't expect your food appearance to be so bad?"
Xiao Yueye shrugged indifferently, secretly depressed that there were no toothpicks in this era: "I've always had such a bad look."
The meal was finished in this strange atmosphere. To say that the maids and eunuchs in this palace are really good. After finishing eating, I quickly cleaned up and then served a lot of cakes, fruits, tea, etc.
After having enough wine and food, Xiao Yueye raised his head and looked at the group of people sitting there.
Needless to say, Murong Liuyun was very familiar. Sitting on his left hand was Murong Xiu. Sitting on the right side is an old woman with a very graceful appearance and courage. She is dressed in bright red and purple, and the phoenix crown on her head is very majestic. She must be the current Queen Mother, the Prime Minister's unpredictable sister.
The next thing that attracted Xiao Yueye's attention were the two princes, one of whom had a short beard and a look of resentment and gloom on his face. It's not that he is in a bad mood, but that these two temperaments have been deeply rooted in his bones. However, the smile on his face was sincere, and the look he looked at Murong Xiu was kind. Xiao Yueye already knew from the "Dragon Protector" information that he was the eldest prince, Murong Gong. Then the other prince is naturally Murong Jingde.
Murong Jingde looked a lot like Murong Liuyun, but from Xiao Yueye's martial arts perspective, this second prince had a yellowish complexion, and he looked like he had a kidney deficiency. No wonder he made a "harem rape case" that shocked both the government and the public, causing him to be deposed from the position of prince.
But what surprised Xiao Yueye the most was Murong Yufeng, who had been sitting there with a slight smile! Thinking about it, she, the princess, should come to congratulate the princess on her birthday. The reason why Xiao Yueye was surprised was that Murong Yufeng at this time was a dignified, elegant and calm princess in every aspect. How could she be related to Murong Yufeng who had framed him with deep intentions before!
This woman really knows how to act!
After looking around, Xiao Yueye curled her lips. The Murong family members, except for Murong Xiu, are probably not good birds, regardless of whether they are male or female.
Especially Murong Liuyun, Xiao Yueye added heavily in her heart.
Murong Liuyun seemed to be in a very good mood today. He had a smile on his face, drank from time to time, and was chatting and laughing with everyone around him.
After a while, the sound of the silk string next to him changed, and Murong Liuyun stood up with a smile and said: "Okay, dear friends, today is my precious daughter's sixteenth birthday. I am very curious, what do you think? What kind of gift do you want to give me? Liu Dexi, bring me the list and let you sing the ceremony one by one!"
"This slave obeys your orders."
This is called singing a ceremony, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that not everyone is qualified to stand in front of the emperor and sing a ceremony. And because this time it contains the element of recruiting a son-in-law, according to previous reports, every young master should sing the ceremony.
Liu Dexi took a few minions with him and held a list. He glanced at it coldly and knew which names should be reported.
"The grandson of Prime Minister Mo, Mo Yue gave me a thousand-year-old guqin."
Following the introduction, Mo Yue stepped forward with a smile on his face, saluted the emperor, then took the guqin from the eunuch and said loudly: "This guqin is called Jiaowei, and it is one of the nine famous qins in ancient times. Wei Chen I learned that this piano had appeared in the south, so I went to look for it and finally found it.”
The emperor smiled, nodded, and shouted softly: "Okay!"
Xiao Yueye said in a low voice: "Damn, after all, Mo Yue and Murong Xiu are cousins. Isn't this **?"
"The son of General Zuo, the great general of the auxiliary country, Zuo Zong presented a pair of calligraphy treasures by Yan Zhenqing."
This Mr. Zuo is really apologetic in appearance. He is young but has a beard and deep wrinkles on his forehead. He looks at least ten years older than his real age. The painting he held up looked nondescript. Xiao Yueye learned from the "Dragon Protector" file that this guy made several wives angry when he was a child! He actually gave him calligraphy treasures
"This is Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy treasure. Please accept it, Princess. It's not that Wei Chen found it through searching, but he accidentally saved an old man during a drill in the mountains. He gave this painting to me. I am a man who only knows how to lead troops in war. The poor man just borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and wish the princess a happy birthday."
"Damn!" Xiao Yueye whispered: "Who said this guy is a reckless man? The old information is really harmful to people!"
"The youngest son of the Minister of Industry presented a piece of coral to the South China Sea."
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is from the Songchuan lineage. It is a coincidence that the three in front of him are one of the three major forces. However, judging from the order of registration, Mu Zhi is in the lead, and Song Chuan is at the bottom. At this time, the current situation is apparent.
The youngest son of the Minister of Industry is Zhao Yun. His name is very domineering, but he looks like a girl. He is the same type as Xiao Yueye.
"When Wei Chen was an official in Xi Province, this coral group was given as a farewell gift by the people of the whole state. It has a long history, but I don't know when it dates back. However, the appearance of the corals is bright and beautiful, which just shows Wei Chen's heart."
. . . . . .
Seeing the names of people being called one by one and looking at the priceless gifts, Xiao Yueye muttered to Ouyang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, where do you think these guys get the money? With their little salary, they can't even buy a cent." Not even ”
"It goes without saying that it was either bribed or bought with money from bribes. Of course, it is also possible that the owner was framed and then snatched back."
This is exactly the point of Xiao Yueye's question: "How dare they take it out even though they know its origin is unknown?"
Ouyang Xiaohua spread her hands and said angrily: "You ask me, how do I know? But then again, why didn't you see Song Hu go up to sing the ceremony?"
As the son of Song Chuan, Song Hu was both emotional and rational. It was impossible for Zhao Yun to represent this side of the force! But Xiao Yueye knew Song Hu's temper. This guy was obsessed with Huilan, and Huilan was pregnant now. How could he agree to Song Chuan's idea of marrying the princess
Now Song Hu is Zhang Dehai's favorite general. Even his father Song Chuan can't push him too hard. Otherwise, if his only proud son is forced to side with Zhang Dehai, he will really lose more than he gains.
The singing ceremony finally ended. As Xiao Yueye expected, none of the people at his table had their names reported. It seemed that there was no hope of even being shortlisted, and several people looked disappointed.
Murong Liuyun nodded with satisfaction. Liu Dexi really knows how to choose people. The family background, character, and appearance of these singers are all top choices. Not bad!
"Xiu'er, what do you think? You can't help but worry. My father is just helping you with your birthday party this time, not choosing a son-in-law."
Murong Xiu glanced at the gifts, touched them casually, and suddenly showed a smile.
She raised her head, stood up, and then shot around as if looking for someone.
A warning sign flashed in Xiao Yueye's heart, and she instinctively wanted to turn her head away. Who knows, her eyes met with Murong Xiu's, and she could clearly see the fox-like smile raised at the corner of this girl's mouth.
No, girl! Don't hurt me!
"Father, the six gates are arresting the head, COSCO envoy Xiao Yueye, Mr. Xiao once promised my daughter that he would give me a big gift on my birthday. My daughter wants to hear him sing!"
There was an uproar! (Quanben Novel Network www.QuAnBen-XIaoShuo.com)
