Chapter 131: Birthday Greetings
On the tenth day of October, it was the birthday of Jiang Taijun of the Yin State Mansion in a blink of an eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Yin Guogongfu is the mother family of the Queen Mother, with huge power, and Jiang Taijun is the biological mother of the Queen Mother and the nominal maternal grandmother of the emperor. Her 60th birthday, but anyone who has a little insight in the Chinese military hundred officials, no matter whether they receive the invitation or not, they dare not slack off to pass.
With the support of the Queen Mother, the glory of the Yin family is becoming more and more prosperous, and officials in the DPRK and China want to take this opportunity to cling to the relationship. In order to strengthen his own power, the Yin family is even more willing to make friends, and there are many people with a wide range of channels, so they take what they need. Therefore, on the day of the birthday banquet, the door of the Yin Guogong Mansion was full of traffic and lively, and the officials of various families to celebrate the birthday came to the door early.
Of course, there are positive people, and naturally there are also inactive people, such as Xiahou Yichen, for example, Lin Xiaoyou. One of the two got up early to practice swords, and the other slept until he woke up naturally, and he didn't pay attention to the birthday banquet at all.
finally waited for Lin Xiaoyou to get up, and the two of them slowly took Lan Yubei Ming out of the house. Sitting in Xiahou Yichen's luxury carriage is a majestic style, regardless of whether the entrance of your Guogong Mansion is full of traffic, when you see the carriage of the palace, you will all stand aside.
"I heard that the prince smelled the rooster and danced today, and got up early in the morning to practice his sword?" got out of the carriage, and the two of them stood at the door of the Yin Guogong Mansion together, looking up at the plaque hanging on the door, Lin Xiaoyu's beautiful face smiled meaningfully.
"Hmm. Xiahou Yichen's phoenix eyes sparkled, and he touched the sword on his waist with a smile and replied: "I haven't practiced the sword for a long time to loosen my muscles and bones, so as not to pounce on some things that are not long-eyed. ”
The two of them stood at the door with their talented and beautiful figures, attracting everyone's sideways glances, and they wanted to step forward to salute and climb the relationship, but when they heard his arrogant words, their faces changed in an instant, and they retreated, how dare they step forward.
The butler who received the guests only twitched at the door, and if it wasn't for Xiahou Yichen's identity, he would have been beaten out by a stick if he didn't have a taboo at him. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he knew the temper of this ancestor, but he didn't dare to care, walked forward quickly and saluted, and respectfully introduced the two of them.
In the Guogong Mansion, people come and go, and guests are full. At this moment, an old woman with gray hair and dark red clothes came over surrounded by Liu Shuyun, Yin Qiumeng and others.
Lin Xiaoyou looked carefully, and among the crowd of people, Wu Clan, Lin Qingyue, Feng Clan and others were impressively listed. It seems that Wu's injuries are almost healed, and he has gained a lot of benefits from saving Mrs. Jiang, and now she has become a guest of honor in the Yin Guo Mansion.
Xiahou Yichen took Lin Xiaoyou's hand casually and whispered: "Princess, we are not here to celebrate our birthday today, we are here to find fault!"
"Oh, how do you find a way?" Lin Xiaoyou was also interested and asked curiously.
"How's the division of labor and cooperation?"
Lin Xiaoyou nodded, "Okay, this princess is responsible for starting the fire, and the prince is responsible for extinguishing the fire." ”
"I don't know if the prince and princess have arrived, and the old body has lost his welcome, and I hope to forgive me. "Before anyone arrives, the voice comes first, and when they come to the front, they lead the people to salute them.
Seeing Xiahou Yichen appear, the eyes of the young ladies in the courtyard who had not yet come out of the pavilion lit up. With wolf-like expressions, I can't wait to pounce immediately. Yin Qiumeng glared at those young ladies warningly, and secretly slandered herself: The prince is hers, and the toad also wants to eat swan meat.
Xiahou Yichen took Lin Xiaoyu a few steps forward, smiled lazily, and shouted with a big grin: "No need to be polite, old woman." If you want to show the royal brother, you are letting the king walk around without eating. The scattered voice carried a cold chill, which made everyone cower a little.
Old woman, he dared to shout like this! Knowing that he was deliberately pretending again, Lin Xiaoyou laughed secretly in his heart.
"How dare the old body. Old Mrs. Jiang got up with a decent smile, a person who came over at an old age, her concentration was very good, and she was called an old woman on a happy day, and she still looked calm and did not show the slightest displeasure.
Knowing that he is arrogant and wanton, the main owner doesn't mind, and the rest of the people don't dare to have a whisper. Think about it, even the emperor and the queen mother have nothing to do with him, let alone them.
Hearing this, Xiahou Yichen raised his lips, narrowed his narrow Danfeng eyes, looked at Old Lady Jiang with a somewhat exploratory look in his eyes, and asked with a concerned look: "Old woman, I heard that you were frightened when you met a bandit when you returned home?"
"Yes, thank you for your concern, at that time, it was thanks to Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wu that the old body was able to get out of danger. Mrs. Jiang looked at the Wu family Feng beside her gratefully, and smiled knowingly.
Xiahou Yichen snorted, rubbed his nose playfully, and said slowly: "Yes, don't thank this king, this king doesn't care about you, just look at the old woman's oily and slippery face at this moment, it doesn't look like you're frightened, but like a tonic to make up for it, so you can ask casually." ”
The vicious and straightforward words mercilessly hit the fragile hearts of everyone, and the body was incomplete, and the old lady Jiang was so tense that she couldn't hang on her flawless face. But if you can't hold back, you can't afford to offend this ancestor.
Lin Xiaoyou knew that Xiahou Yichen would not really be kind enough to congratulate anyone on his birthday when he came here today, but he didn't expect his eloquence to be so good, and when he thought of his usual attitude towards himself, it was really small and too friendly.
Capturing Mrs. Jiang's face as ugly as a pig's liver, Lin Xiaoyou was about to pretend to persuade her, but a voice behind her broke the deadlock.
"Brother Huang, you are presumptuous behind your back again, aren't you?" Unlike Xiahou Yichen's flamboyant and unscrupulous, his warm voice like bathing in a spring breeze inexplicably makes people feel very comfortable. Although it is a reproach, it does not mean to blame at all.
This is a day when I went out, and I was caught when I came up. turned around, and saw Xiahou Yixuan and Yin Fengqing being greeted in one step behind them, and the two of them went out on patrol in casual clothes, except for a few guards and grandmothers who carried them, they did not put on a huge formation.
"Brother Huang came by coincidence. Xiahou Yichen didn't care much, and his stunning demonic posture suddenly smiled, turning all beings upside down for a while, making people fall.
Xu felt the ominous atmosphere in the courtyard, compared to Xiahou Yixuan's hearty smile, Yin Fengqing glared at Lin Xiaoyou and Xiahou Yichen fiercely.
The emperor and the queen mother came in person, and at this time, all the guests who came to the birthday banquet in the courtyard hurriedly got up and came over to bow down.
Even the old witch came over to suppress the formation in person, and it seemed that she really cared about the face of the Yin Guo Mansion.
Xiahou Yixuan casually flattened everyone and personally stepped forward to help Mrs. Jiang, "Grandmother, please get up quickly, you are today's birthday star, so there is no need to be polite." Saying that, let the people behind him give today's gift, a half-human tall Buddha statue with a golden body, and a pair of turquoise jade Ruyi. "Grandmother, this is a birthday gift I have prepared for you, and I wish you a long and healthy life. ”
The words of compliment made Jiang Lao Taijun smile, and finally regained the face lost by Xiahou Yichen in front of everyone. "Thank you for the emperor's care, the emperor and the queen mother can come to the Guogong Mansion in person, and the old body is really flattered. Let people accept the emperor's congratulatory gift, she wanted to kneel down to thank the emperor again, and the queen mother Yin Fengqing stepped forward to support her, "Mother, today is your birthday, and it is right for the children to express their hearts, so you don't want to be polite." ”
In this way, the old body thanked the emperor and the queen mother. Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Where's your gift?" Xiahou Yixuan turned his head to look at Xiahou Yichen and asked.
Xiahou Yichen shrugged his shoulders and said arrogantly: "This king has a little money in January, and he still has to support his family, and it is not easy to support my princess now and my son in the future." Speaking of which, Miss Yin is still eating in this palace, you will understand. "In two words, no. His family property is also something he has earned with hard work, and he will not use these things cheaply. Yin Qiumeng ate his meal in the mansion, and he hadn't asked the Guogong Mansion for living expenses!
Xiahou Yixuan had a headache as soon as he heard him speak, and regretted it, what he did not do well, but he had to talk more.
Is the prince very poor? Who would believe it, Lin Xiaoyu bit his lip to prevent himself from laughing out of shape, and Xiahou Yichen played a scoundrel and played a reason.
"It's okay, it's okay, the prince can come, the old body is already very happy. Old Mrs. Jiang hurriedly rounded the field, for fear that he would spit out some ivory when it was too late. "The emperor and the queen mother, the princess and princess, please sit inside. ”
As he spoke, he led a few people to the courtyard house. The rest of the people stayed in the courtyard under the reception of the hosts Yin Zhaoxian and Liu Shuyun, chatting in twos and threes.
Looking at Lin Xiaoyu's clear and dusty figure quietly following Xiahou Yichen's side, the young ladies around him were jealous, and their eyes were red. Yin Qiumeng quickly looked at Mrs. Jiang, hoping that her grandmother would definitely make decisions for her.
Everyone came to the house and sat down, Xiahou Yixuan's eyes wandered, and when he saw Lin Xiaoyou's bandaged hand, he asked worriedly, "Why is Xiaoyou injured?"
Lin Xiaoyou smiled lightly and replied, "It's okay, Brother Yixuan, I just accidentally fell when I went out to Shangxiang." ”
With the arrival of the queen mother and the emperor, Jiang Lao Taijun was a little unscrupulous in putting up the score of the elders. Seeing Xiahou Yixuan asking Lin Xiaoyu at the same time, a pair of old eyes looked at her with impure color, "This is Princess Chen, she is really a clever child, and she is comparable to our dreams." ”
Yin Fengqing glanced at Lin Xiaoyou dishappily and replied respectfully, "Yes, mother." ”
Lin Xiaoyou lowered her eyes slightly, and raised Yin Qiumeng with her, the idea was good. Speaking of which, the people in this country's mansion are quite thick-skinned, and the old witch was afraid that she would dig a pit for Xiahou Yichen a lot, and when she found that she couldn't get killed, she changed her strategy to win him over. This kind of slap in the face is a deal to give candy to eat, and he doesn't do it himself, let alone Xiahou Yichen, who is as cunning as a fox. I'm afraid that their wishful thinking will come to naught, and today is that their mouths are worn out and they praise Yin Qiumeng as a fairy, presumably Xiahou Yichen will not take a second look.
Yin Qiumeng stood respectfully behind Old Taijun Jiang, and said with a shy: "Grandmother, how can Meng'er compare with the princess!"
"Miss Yin is a little self-aware, you are indeed not worthy of being compared with the princess of this king. Xiahou Yichen had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and paused, not looking at the ugly faces of the old witches and others around him, he took a few sips of tea leisurely, and continued to mend the knife slowly: "According to the king, you are better than the old woman." ”
"Brother Huang, today is my grandmother's birthday, how can I be so presumptuous and ignorant of etiquette. When Yin Fengqing was about to open her mouth to scold, Xiahou Yixuan snatched a step and robbed her words.
Yin Fengqing frowned slightly when she looked at this scene, how could she not understand the emperor's intention to preempt her to speak, after all, she still protected his younger brother in private, with him opening her mouth, she was not good at what she was saying, and turned her head to explain to Mrs. Jiang: "That's it, Chen'er has always been like this, I hope my mother won't worry about him." said this, but in his heart, he hated Lin Xiaoyou.
Mrs. Jiang nodded helplessly, and said with a stiff smile: "The prince is really temperamental, how can the old body be compared." ”
Xiahou Yichen snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything.
"Meng'er, take the princess to the garden for a walk, we are talking here, I guess you young people are bored too. Yin Fengqing commanded.
"Oh, yes. Just after being hit by Xiahou Yichen, Yin Qiumeng's aggrieved look could not hide his sadness. Removing the resentment in his eyes, he walked over slowly and said to Lin Xiaoyou, "Princess, please come with me." ”
Lin Xiaoyou smiled and nodded, handed Xiahou Yichen a reassuring look, got up and left with Lan Yu and Yin Qiumeng, who were waiting outside.
If she doesn't go, how can she know what good drama people are singing!
