Two hours later, Zhou Luyao caught six brocade fish, Wu Yajieyu caught four, and Ying Qi also considered fishing three. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

After all, every time a fish wanted to eat her food, she quickly shook her hand and scared the golden fish away. This kind of gadget, there is no need to fight for winning or losing, and now Zhou Luyao has won the first place among the three, but she is happy.

The maids packed the fish in small barrels and sent them to the Biqiang Garden. In fact, after Zhou Luyao leaves, these fish will be released, and now it is just to make the guests happy.

After returning, Zhou Luyao returned to her mother, Mrs. Lang. Wu Ya Jieyu and Ying Qi also returned to their respective positions, after all, they were going to officially celebrate their birthdays in a while.

At the time of the unitary, the maids each led their masters to the main hall of the inner hall. The seats in the main hall have been set up.

The front is hung with a longevity curtain, which reads "Pengdao Spring Haze, Shouyu Kaixiang". On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are incense burners, longevity wax, gold ingots, and thousands of sheets. On the front table are shou peach and shou noodle. A large red velvet cushion is placed below for the children to use for their birthdays.

The old lady sat on the left side of the table of the eight immortals, and the eldest lady sat on the right side. Along the left and right sides are all rosewood chairs.

The guest's seat is on the left, which is respected. The seats of the juniors are on the right, and they sit one by one.

The older men and the men of the same age as the eldest lady were in the outer courtyard and were received by the eldest lord. Only the younger generation of men come in to pay their respects.

First of all, the children came forward one by one to pay their respects. Wuya Modri was the first to step forward, knelt in front of the eldest lady, held a white jade statue of Guanyin, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Eniang for blessings such as the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan!"

"My son, get up quickly!" The big maid next to her had already received the birthday gift, and another little maid stepped forward with a red silk and silver plate, and Fucha took out a big red envelope and handed it to Uya Modri.

Then the eldest daughter Wuya Baobai gave a picture of the longevity of a hundred sons.

Then there was the second young master Wu Ya Dachun, who gave him an ancient painting of a celebrity.

The second lady, Wu Ya Jieyu, gave a screen of a hundred birds and a phoenix.

The third lady Wu Ya Chase gave a pair of pink lotus gold bead embroidered shoes.

The third young master, Uyada Hasselblad, sent a pair of brightly colored kingfishers.

The fourth young master, Wu Yahe, gave a small golden Buddha.

When it was Yingqi's turn, she also stepped forward to salute decently and gave her a rose scarf embroidered by herself. Naturally, I also got an equal red envelope. Ying Qi weighed it, and basically could return to the capital. Thinking about it secretly, this business is good.

After that, there were dealers who sang the congratulatory gifts to the guests, but they were no longer sent one by one, and they were all sent to the inner treasury of the Fucha clan when the guests entered the house.

Among them, gold, silver and jade ornaments, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and various gifts are available. Some are worth hundreds of taels, some are worth tens of taels, and so on. This kind of gift is just a gift exchange, and it will be given back according to this value in the future.

"Report, the seventeenth prince took the mother's message and sent a pair of jade Ruyi. Suddenly, a servant rushed in from the outer court.

All the people stood up.

"The Seventeenth Master is here?" all the hosts and guests were taken aback. It's just a noblewoman's birthday gift, why did it alarm the prince. After all, Concubine De's gift is reasonable, she is her own sister-in-law, and she should give a gift. But why did the seventeenth prince come over to give the birthday gift in person?

"It is estimated that the seventeenth master stayed too bored in the palace and came out to carry out activities. Someone whispered in private.

"The Seventeenth Master is here, it's an opportunity. "The people in the inner hall are all ladies, and then they naturally began to fight in their hearts. After all, not every husband's official position is so prominent, if the concubine he brought can win the favor of the seventeenth master, even if it is a concubine, it will be helpful to his own family.

The prince's concubine Fujin and side Fujin are both hand-picked by the emperor, and the small actions to be done below are just concubines. However, even if it is a concubine, it is of great value to the family.

Ying Qi and Xue Yun glanced at each other, and Xue Yun nodded, knowing that he would be able to find a chance to sneak out after the banquet after the birthday greeting.

The old lady and the eldest lady both got up and went out to greet them, and the rest of the people followed, and soon a small servant ran outside to say, "The eldest lady has greeted the seventeenth prince." "The Seventeenth Prince has arrived at the gate of the Second Courtyard. "The Seventeenth Prince has entered the inner courtyard. "The Seventeenth Prince has arrived!" finally changed to a loud greeting.

"I've seen the Seventeenth Prince!" everyone saluted. Wearing a stone blue robe embroidered with white lines, embroidered with a belt of five-clawed golden dragon clouds, drooping mutton fat white jade, a tall nose bridge, clear and deep eyes, and a skin color as crystal like jade, although he is still young, he has already shown the royal nobility and Qinghua.

"No need to be polite. "The Seventeenth Prince is more humble.

"Old lady! This is a birthday gift specially given to the eldest lady by Concubine De. The seventeenth prince didn't squint, but just stepped forward to talk to the old lady.

"Thank you!" the old lady and the eldest lady stepped forward at the same time to salute and thank you.

"Seventeen masters, please!" After the subordinate took the jade ruyi handed by the eunuch behind the seventeenth prince, everyone relaxed a little while talking. The old lady also resumed the usual title of the prince by everyone.

Ying Qi saw the appearance of the seventeenth prince in royal clothes behind her, and she couldn't feel that she could match the silent, arrogant and shy little boy in her impression.

The old lady entered the hall with the seventeenth prince, and when the seventeenth prince passed by everyone, his eyes naturally swept over Ying Qi, Ying Qi couldn't help but smile faintly, and the eyes of the seventeenth prince became softer. But no one noticed.

The birthday greetings were over, and all the people were led by the servants to the banquet hall. The seventeenth prince chatted with the old lady for a few words and returned to the front hall. At this time, the natural snow cloud disappeared without anyone else noticing.

Ying Qi and Wu Ya Jieyu sat at a table. The maidservants of each of them served tea and plates, and when they were clean, the other maidservants lined up in rows and presented various dishes quietly and elegantly.

First of all, there are two dried fruits, milky white almonds, fried peanuts with sugar, two candied fruits, candied jujubes, candied duck pears, two dumplings, bean paste cake, mandarin duck cups, two pickles, sweet sauce ginger teeth, spicy milk melon slices.

Then the cold dishes are served. Hot and sour cucumbers, mustard duck feet, weird chicken strips, shrimp roe and winter bamboo shoots, pepper oil and white.

Then start serving hot dishes. Oolong Tuzhu, Roasted Partridge, Spicy Hoof Tendon, Lotus Leaf Chicken, Crab Meat Double Bamboo Shoots, Mountain Bracken, Box Tofu, Beef Tenderloin Stir-fried White Mushroom, White Flour Dumpling Rolls, Plum Blossom Buns.

After that, there are two soups, bird's nest chicken shredded soup and Wensi tofu soup.

After that, there are two barbecues, hemp seed venison skewers and raw roasted roe deer meat.

After that, there is a porridge, a plate of lotus seed porridge and seasonal fruits.

Finally, there is a pot of Dongting Biluochun.

There are exactly thirty dishes, and a birthday banquet is really an eye-opener for Yingqi. Seeing the dishes on the table layer by layer, this is just an ordinary lady's birthday banquet, no wonder the Manchu and Han banquets can amaze the whole world.

Halfway through the feast, Xueyun returned, standing behind Ying Qi and didn't say much. After a while, Ying Qi borrowed a change of clothes and left the table. Xueyun served him, leaving Lixia to serve in his position.

"Miss, over here. The two of them drifted away from the banquet hall. I came to the library loft by the lake.

"The master is on the top floor. Xue Yun held the Night Pearl in his hand and guided Ying Qi upstairs. After that, he disappeared into the shadows by the staircase.

Xiaobao stood by the window railing, and a round of clear moonlight was half discharged on him, as if he felt like a flying fairy.

Why didn't he realize that Xiaobao was a handsome guy before, Ying Qi couldn't help scratching her head.

"Xiaobao?" Ying Qi walked over to his side. "Are you really a prince?" she didn't have the slightest sense of strangeness and restraint.

"Qi'er, how are you doing?" Xiaobao turned around, looked at her with a smile, and rubbed her hair.

"That's good. It seems that I am slowly getting used to it. It's just a little bit of thinking about my father and brother and them. Of course, I miss you and your brother too. Oops, don't dial, I'll be too lazy to take care of it later. "In the past, Xiaobao liked to rub her hair like a child. Seeing that Xiaobao still treated her as always, Ying Qi put aside the anxiety of seeing the prince. After all, although she thinks that Xiaobao's position is high and powerful, she is used to the concept of equality, and she is not very able to understand the hierarchical concept of this society.

"The fourth brother also asked about you when I came over. You can rest assured here, and tell Xueyun in time if you need anything. Do you know?" said Xiaobao gently straightened her hair again. Seeing her dressed like an auspicious lady doll, her speech was still lively and innocent, and it did not change the essence of the first acquaintance, and her heart was a little warm.

"Got it. Ying Qi nodded indifferently.

"Snow Cloud treats you there, okay, if you don't like it, I'll call you someone else. ”

"It's ok. Anyway, you just have to protect me. Oh, I used to be scared, and I felt that I was unfamiliar with the people here. Now that I think of it, with you and your fourth brother as backers, I feel much more confident. Say, were you able to talk when you were at my house?" asked Ying Qi with a grin.

"Well, that medicine is not serious, and the effect of the medicine will wear off soon. But I was used to it, and I didn't think it was easy to explain anything at the time. It's better not to open your mouth at all. Xiaobao explained.

"When will my father and brother come up?"

"It should be soon. I'm going to write to them?"

"No, I don't have to. Slowly deal with it. I just stayed with my grandmother here in addition to studying, and occasionally I felt a little bored, and I never went out, so boring. Ying Qi pouted.

"Well, I'll find a chance for you to go out and have fun, okay? Xiaobao looked at her dotingly.

"You're so nice!" Ying Qi was happy now. Naturally, it will be smoother for someone to arrange, and it will be too troublesome for yourself to find an excuse.

The two chatted again. Suddenly, there was a bright light, and it turned out that night had fallen, and all the lanterns everywhere were lit.

Looking out from the lintel on the top floor of the library, the lights and the stars in the sky reflect each other on the surface of the lake, which is very colorful.

"It's so beautiful!" Ying Qi sighed.

"Let's go to the lake to see, okay?" Seeing her sparkling eyes, Xiaobao's heart moved.

"Okay. If you are close to the water, it must look better. But if someone sees it, will there be anything?" Ying Qi nodded. It's rare to have a familiar person by her side, and she is naturally willing.

"It's okay, let's find a place in the middle of nowhere. Come on, be careful. Xiaobao stretched out his hand, as if he was afraid that Ying Qi would fall in such a dark place, and Ying Qi didn't notice anything inappropriate, so he also stretched out his hand to him and let him hold it. The two of them made their way up the stairs. In the dark, the corners of Xiaobao's mouth curled slightly.
