051:Birthday Banquet (2)
When it was Lou Yueqing's turn to stand up and toast, Xiao Zhenglin directly ordered her to be exempted.
Lou Yueqing was unhappy: "Father, you are partial, why can the concubines and royal brothers give you birthday celebrations, but not the sons?"
Xiao Zhenglin smiled dumbly, helplessly and angrily said: "You girl, my father feels sorry for you, don't toss with such a big belly, worry-free congratulations, my father has it, as for the birthday gift, you gave birth to two little grandchildren peacefully, which is the best birthday gift my father received this year!"
Lou Yueqing looked at her belly, which was about the same size as other pregnant women, and knew that she would make them worry if she tossed it again, so she had no choice but to pout: "Then the father and the emperor have said so, and the sons will not toss, but you still have to ask for the birthday gift, and then give it to the father when the birthday banquet is over!"
Xiao Zhenglin heard that Lou Yueqing had really prepared a birthday gift for him, his eyes flashed, and he wanted to see what it was now, but according to Lou Yueqing's meaning, he nodded: "That's fine!"
The concubines, princes and princesses next to them heard Xiao Zhenglin and Lou Yueqing's natural and casual but warm conversation, with different thoughts, jealousy and envy.
However, just when everyone thought it was their turn to toast the next birthday, Xiao Yiheng, who was sitting opposite, suddenly looked at Rong Zhi and spoke.
"I don't have to worry about my body, I don't need to toast my father's birthday, but my brother-in-law doesn't seem to be inconvenient!"
As a son-in-law, Rong Zhi wants to give Xiao Zhenglin a glass of wine in both affection and reason.
Moreover, Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing have been married for so long, and Xiao Zhenglin has not drunk the wine of Rong Zhi, who is his son-in-law.
They didn't speak loudly here, except for the royal family members above, and some of the royal relatives below, those who were farther away couldn't hear it, but they saw them talking.
And many of the people above who heard Xiao Yiheng's words clearly couldn't help but sweat, but they all raised their spirits to see the excitement, and their eyes stayed on Rong Zhi.
Even Xiao Zhenglin looked at Rong Zhi meaningfully, as if he was smiling, having said that, he really didn't seem to have drunk the wine toasted by this bastard, and he forgot about it if he didn't mention it today, and he was also aggrieved as a father-in-law.
Lou Yueqing first frowned and looked at Xiao Yiheng opposite, then retracted her gaze and raised her eyebrows to look at Rong Zhi.
It seems a little embarrassing to let Rong Zhi toast Xiao Zhenglin's birthday, but she also has some expectations.
Rong Zhi glanced at Xiao Yiheng opposite, and then looked at the people around him who were watching the excitement one by one, his face did not change, and then he glanced at Xiao Zhenglin above before retracting his gaze and looking at Lou Yueqing.
Raising eyebrows, he asked ominously, "Hope?"
Lou Yueqing smiled lightly, noncommittal.
He was her husband, and she naturally wanted him to respect her relatives, including her father.
Rong Zhi understood, rubbed her cheeks, and then got up unhurriedly, holding a glass of wine, and then walked to the middle under the gaze of everyone.
After making a move, he knelt down on one knee and said to Xiao Zhenglin respectfully but not humbly: "Son-in-law Rongzhi, congratulations to my father-in-law for a thousand years!"
Although this is what Rong Zhi should do, but if he really did it, it still stunned the people present.
Lou Yueqing looked at it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook.
Rong Zhi knelt there on one knee, his expression was calm, and after that, everyone reacted, Xiao Zhenglin nodded, laughed loudly and said a few good words, he drank the wine in his hand, got up calmly, and walked back to his place to sit down.
……
The birthday banquet went very smoothly, and there were no mistakes and accidents, after all, on this occasion, everyone was cautious, and no one dared to make trouble.
After half of the banquet and three rounds of wine, Xiao Zhenglin was already physically exhausted, and his already pale and weak face became more and more ugly.
Feeling unwell, Xiao Zhenglin naturally no longer continued to stay at the birthday banquet, explained a few words to Xiao Yiheng, asked Xiao Yiheng to stay and stabilize the birthday banquet, and said a few words to make everyone happy, and then let Concubine Wen help him leave.
Everyone got up to send Xiao Zhenglin off, and after Xiao Zhenglin left Bauhinia Square, everyone continued to drink and feast, but they didn't feel relaxed, but became more and more cautious.
Because Xiao Yiheng is still there, compared to Xiao Zhenglin, who is dying soon, it is obvious that Xiao Yiheng, the actual ruler of Liguo today, is the person they are most afraid of, and it is also the object they need to compete to please.
After all, although Xiao Yiheng has a pair of children, his wife died early, and now he has no wife and concubine around him......
Lou Yueqing sat there, remembering that Xiao Zhenglin was helping Wen Guifei to leave with his staggering steps, as if he was walking unsteadily, and the confidence in his voice when he spoke before leaving was insufficient, and he looked weak, so he couldn't help frowning and was a little worried.
Rong Zhi put vegetables in her bowl, saw that she didn't move, raised his eyes to look at her, saw her solemn face, and couldn't help but ask a little nervously, "What's wrong?"
She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the situation was not very good when my father left, and I was a little worried about my father!"
Rong Zhi said softly: "If you don't worry, just follow and have a look, it's boring here anyway!"
Lou Yueqing thought for a while and shook her head: "Let's sit for a while, after all, it's my father's birthday banquet, I can't just let my father leave me, it's not good!"
Rong Zhi nodded and followed her.
However, Lou Yueqing couldn't sit for a while longer.
About a cup of tea after Xiao Zhenglin left, Meng Yi suddenly flashed in a hurry.
Xiao Zhenglin has an accident!
On the way back to the Qianyuan Hall after leaving Bauhinia Square, before Luan Jia returned to the Qianyuan Palace, Xiao Zhenglin suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma!
