Chapter 924: Pei Yuanhao's congratulatory gift
cpa300_4(); For a while, I only felt that cold sweat broke out all over my body, and my heart was pounding with nervousness, watching the middle-aged man walk up the steps step by step, and the guests around me were all quiet at this moment, and all eyes were fixed on that person.
At this time, I heard Liu Qinghan beside me whispering: "Wu Yanqiu?"
I subconsciously turned my head to look at him, only to see that his face was also full of surprise and stunned expression, looking at the man who slowly walked into the happy hall.
Wu Yanqiu?
I hesitated for a moment, but immediately found the name in my mind.
Wu Yanqiu, Taishi Chang Yanbai's proud protΓ©gΓ©, the high school list after the household department as a waiter, although the official residence under Liu Qinghan, but his career is smooth sailing, in order to fight the Shen family, Pei Yuanhao established the military aircraft cabinet, he has already emerged, and then Nangong Jinhong came back at the banquet, he replaced Liu Qinghan and sat next to Fu Badai, although I later knew that it was just a scene of Liu Qinghan's vacation intention to surrender to Shen Gong, but Wu Yanqiu's actions at that time have also been able to glimpse that the emperor has great trust in him.
Now, what is he going to do here?
My heart immediately became vigilant.
In fact, even if it wasn't him, it was anyone, but as long as he was an official of the imperial court, stepping into the Yan family would definitely not be something that I could easily deal with.
I vaguely feel that today's wedding will not start so simply, let alone end so simply.
Under everyone's attention, Wu Yanqiu had already walked into the hall with several guards. Although Xichuan has a lot of land and resources, there can't be too many celebrities and riches, and there are only a few people who come and go, and the guests who come to the Yan family's happy events are naturally in the same circle, so the appearance of such a fresh face immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Yan Qingchen slowly moved the wheelchair to the center of the hall, calmly looked at the posture of the group for a while, and then slowly stepped forward.
"Who's coming?"
"Wu Yanqiu, the waiter of the household department, has seen Yan Gongzi. β
An understatement, but it made everyone present change their faces.
Everyone seemed to be unable to believe their ears, and the hall was silent for a moment, and for a moment, they all whispered in shockβ
"Do you hear that? It's from the court!"
"How did they get here?"
"Beware, I'm afraid they're going to make a move. β
β¦β¦
Yan Qingchen's complexion was not as calm as before, his eyes flickered, and he calmly evoked a faint smile: "Oh......?
"I don't want to greet you, but I hope you will forgive me. β
"How dare you. β
"This official has heard of Yan Gongzi's deeds several times, and today I can see it, and I know that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and beautiful in extraordinary people, and what he said is true. β
"Your Excellency's words are serious. I look at adults, and they are also extraordinary. β
"Prizes. β
"If you are not an extraordinary person, how dare your emperor let you enter Xichuan?" Yan Qingchen's smile revealed an indescribable chill: "Aren't you afraid, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, what accidents happen?"
"Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries. As a courtier, he never dared to be afraid of high mountains and dangerous roads because of private expenses and covetousness. β
"Well said. β
The deeper Yan Qingchen's smile became, the more uneasy I felt in my heart, and the old lady Yan standing in the crowd obviously couldn't hold it back, the anger in her eyes was almost bursting out, and she was about to go this way immediately, but Yan Qingchen's hand on the armrest of the wheelchair was gently waved and made a gesture, and the attendants on both sides immediately came out and gently supported her: "Old lady, please take a break." β
"Don't be angry, old lady. β
"Get out of the way!"
"Old lady......"
Although it didn't look good, it also entangled her to some extent, I subconsciously turned my head to look at Liu Qinghan, but saw that he looked solemn, but there was not much surprise, and immediately understood: "Is it your letter?"
He also glanced at me and said calmly: "Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries." β
ββ¦β¦β
I forgot, after all, he is a courtier of the imperial court, Pei Yuanfeng married in Xichuan, it is a big deal in public and private, since he has arrived in Chengdu, it is impossible not to give the emperor a little wind at all.
As he was talking, Pei Yuanfeng had already walked in front of them.
As soon as Wu Yanqiu saw him, he immediately bowed respectfully: "Meet Qi-"
"No need. β
Pei Yuanfeng raised his hand, stopped his salute, and also intercepted his words: "I am no longer your master, so I don't have to do such a salute." β
"Your Highness......"
"As I said, I am no longer your master, and I don't need to call him any highness. β
"It's-"
"Just call me Childe. β
Wu Yanqiu was only stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled calmly: "Then you will be guilty." β
I was next to it, looking at it in secret admiration.
To say that this Wu Yanqiu, as a tall foot under Chang Taishi, even in the first few years when Chang Qing was the queen, there has been no movement, and it was not until Fu Badai and they entered Beijing that they made a slight move, which shows how deep he is dormant, but looking at his words and deeds today, he is worthy of being a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Taishi, and he has changed to any other person, to Xichuan and Yan's family, he can't do such a humble and calm manner.
On the other hand, it can also be seen that Pei Yuanhao asked him to come to give the Chang family a chance. Wu Yanqiu's envoy to Xichuan was the first time since the establishment of the Celestial Empire, as long as it was not damaged or broken, it was a great achievement.
Obviously, some of the power of Master Taishi has been used.
I looked at Liu Qinghan's faint eyes, and I figured it out in my heart, he reported the matter of Pei Yuanfeng's marriage to the imperial court, and the movements of Pei Yuanxiu and me, I am afraid that I will have to write two sentences, not to mention personal matters, just in the current three-legged situation, it is impossible for the imperial court to let the forces in Jiangnan contact Xichuan too closely, so that Wu Yanqiu comes, in addition to congratulations, naturally there are other uses.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously turned my head and glanced at Pei Yuanxiu, who was still standing in the crowd.
He was already holding Li'er's hand, and he didn't make much movement, and nodded at me.
Fortunately, Wu Yanqiu's current spirit is on Pei Yuanfeng, and he said with a smile: "Today, when I heard about the wedding of my son, my master specially prepared a thin gift, and I hope that my son will accept it with a smile." In addition, I wish Gongzi and his wife to be united forever and grow old. β
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Du Yan, who was following behind him, stepped forward with a large brocade box.
I knew that I couldn't dodge, but I still subconsciously took a step back, but Liu Qinghan next to me took a step forward, looking forward to see the things in the box, but it was blocking me.
Although he blocked it, seeing Pei Yuanfeng reaching out and gently opening the brocade box, I couldn't help but want to see what kind of congratulatory gift Pei Yuanhao sent, especially when I heard the low admiration of a few guests standing closer, I couldn't help but look at it.
At this moment, Pei Yuanfeng slowly took out the gift from the box and shook it gently.
Suddenly, a brilliant streamer flashed in front of his eyes.
In his hand, is a piece of blue-green square brocade, surrounded by the pattern of auspicious clouds woven with gold and silver threads, the lines are smooth, colorful, both delicate and gorgeous, and dignified and heavy, and the brocade silk in the middle is woven a wagtail picture, exquisite craftsmanship, woven lifelike, especially the feathers on the wagtail, it is actually twisted into a thread with the feathers on the white peacock's body, and it is woven with countless crisp and thin jade pieces like cicada wings!
What a delicate picture of a wagtail jade silk!
I looked at the jade silk silently, and didn't speak for a while, but the guests in the hall let out a sigh of admiration-
"This jade silk is really exquisite. β
"Yes, look at the weaver, he is ingenious. β
"Worthy of ...... Ahh
Everyone was talking, and at this time, Yan Qingchen slowly stepped forward, took a corner of the jade silk and looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with a smile: "What a picture of a wagtail and jade silk." β
Jade Silk ...... Wagtail ......
I looked at Pei Yuanfeng's face and sank a little.
Those present already understand the meaning of this congratulatory gift as long as they know the relationship between these people.
This is the first time I've seen Pei Yuanhao show favor to a person like this.
Although, the two of them are half-siblings, because they have the same ideals, so even if they may not be close emotionally, they are a rare pair of brothers in the royal family who can get closer, and it is precisely because of this that Pei Yuanfeng has left the imperial court to enter Xichuan for so many years, until now, there has not been a formal imperial order to depose his status as the prince of the heavenly family, so now, when Wu Yanqiu sees him, he still has to say "Your Highness".
This is indeed the great tolerance that Pei Yuanhao gave him.
Now, however, he is getting married.
A man's marriage means the next career, Pei Yuanfeng's marriage to Xue Muhua is a kind of letting go of the past, but from another aspect, it is impossible for him to look back.
For Pei Yuanhao, it means that he has to completely lose this younger brother, and even has to face him as an enemy.
Therefore, this congratulatory gift is an effort he made between the two of them.
He wanted him to go back.
Pei Yuanfeng looked down at the jade silk, didn't speak for a long time, for some reason, looking at his somewhat gloomy eyes, a sour feeling surged in my heart.
I can't say that I know them best, but there is no doubt that I have witnessed their brotherhood, but now, what the two people think in their hearts has not changed, but they have helplessly walked to the opposite side of each other.
Everyone looked at Pei Yuanfeng, and he also looked at the jade silk with a daze.
I saw his lowered eyelashes, as if frozen by the chill in his eyes, motionless.
I don't know how long it took, he slowly put away the jade silk and put it back in the brocade box, and the attendant next to him hurriedly stepped forward and took the brocade box from Du Yan's hand and took it down. Pei Yuanfeng raised his head at this time, smiled faintly at Wu Yanqiu, and said, "I accepted this generous gift, go back and say it, thank you master for bothering." β
Wu Yanqiu looked at Pei Yuanfeng, his face was a little dignified, and said, "Your Highness, the emperor he-"
