Chapter 168: Gift-giving

Feasting and drinking, all kinds of delicacies have been served in the center of the banquet, some of the ladies flattered the princess and laughed and laughed, and some accompanied their mothers, wandering around the banquet scene.

Rather than saying that the major court banquets had their own themes, it was better to bring together the ladies and the sons of various families here for another purpose.

That is the marriage, thinking that I can give a better impression to the son of the family present, such as Gao Gao Lan will show himself non-stop, seize the only opportunity to make himself shine, and attract people's attention.

As a result, the image of swaying at the banquet and greeting left and right abounds.

And among all the contrived bodies, only Xi Yao and Princess Gaoyang are completely different, but it seems that the two are very different.

The ladies are in groups, and the princes and princes are sitting together, and the focus of the discussion is nothing more than whose son's son is more outstanding, and whose young lady is more suitable for marriage.

Bai Moyang has always been by Xi Yao's side, and the two brothers and sisters are a little out of place.

According to common sense, the banquet is divided into several parts, first the dedication, followed by the court dance, and then the feast.

Seeing that the people were almost here, they went directly to the stage of dedication.

The prince was in the first place, and was the first to send up the big box carried by the four people, and under the gaze of everyone, the red cloth that was fanned on the big box was lifted, and a large iron cage was presented in front of everyone.

Inside the iron cage, a little golden monkey jumped up and down, its eyes were round and extremely flexible, and its mouth was even more muttering and didn't know what it was saying.

The little monkey had golden hair all over its body, its arms were not too long or short, and its tail was curved, very thin and without extra hair.

This skin-peeling action likes to be bad for Princess Gao Yang, and when she saw this thing, Gao Yang's interest was instantly hooked.

It stands to reason that the princess of a country is the most steady, but Gao Yang is used to being bound in the palace, and he doesn't like those harsh manners the most, and he saw the quirky little monkey sent by the prince, which is more novel than the puppies and kittens raised in her palace, and he was very happy for a while, "Brother Prince, this monkey is really fun, and it looks very clean, unlike the kind of walking in the capital, it is dirty and unpleasant, where did the prince's brother get it?" ”

Blinking a pair of big dustless eyes, Princess Gaoyang's age seemed to have been reduced by a few years in an instant.

After this, Xi Yao learned that in addition to food, there was one thing that Gao Yang couldn't quit the most, that is, keeping pets.

Unlike other princesses, there are many kinds of pets in Gaoyang's palace. Although the emperor and empress persuaded Gao Yang many times, she just didn't listen, and it was difficult to break this habit. Therefore, it is the kind of person who can't move when he sees a playful animal.

Today, the prince is a serious doer, and he sent a gift to Gao Yang's heart.

As soon as he saw the pet, Gao Yang seemed to have returned to the appearance of a child before he was ten years old, almost forgetting that this was the scene of the birthday banquet, and he was going to take the monkey out of the cage to play.

Fortunately, the emperor and the queen were on the spot, and because of their deterrent, Gao Yang didn't dare to move, and reluctantly watched the four people carry the iron cage down again.

With the prince's gift as the vanguard, the rest of the princes looked very unspecial, Gao Yang just looked at it with a lack of interest, and on the surface he liked it with a smile he liked, but in fact, he was still thinking about the little monkey who was jumping around just now.

The last one to give a gift was the Six Princes, but he walked out of the crowd empty-handed.

"The Sixth Prince didn't bring a gift?"

"This ......"

The voices of curious questions in the crowd began to stir, and even the emperor who was sitting on a high seat did not look very good. Since Chu Yi returned to the capital, even if the emperor didn't say it, the sixth child has always been the most sensible son in his heart. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have the power to support the other party's medical career.

But now in front of so many people, he doesn't give the emperor a long face, even if he brings something casually, it's better than empty-handed.

Just when people were curious to ask questions, a sharp voice sounded at the door of the main hall, "Mrs. Qin Anhou and the second son, Yuen Long, are ......."

Qin'an Hou Mansion?

The moment they heard these four words, everyone forgot that the six princes did not bring gifts, and looked at the door with extremely hopeful eyes like a long drought and a rainy day, waiting for the appearance of the second prince of Qin Anhou's mansion.

There are also many good deeds, looking in the direction of Xi Yao and Zhou Youcheng with a gloating look, as if trying to see the mental trajectory of these two people at the moment with the naked eye. Xi Yao was okay, he knew the recent situation in Yuen Long, and he expected that he would shine today, so he didn't have any surprised looks.

It was Zhou Youcheng, who obviously didn't expect it.

It is no wonder that the impression of the second son of the Hou Mansion of Qin Anhou in his mind is still at the level of being seriously ill for the little guy to investigate, where would he have expected that such a secret, which has been hidden by the entire Hou Mansion of Qin An for many years, would appear on such a public occasion today.

After a while, I saw Mrs. Qin Anhou being supported by a handsome man with a long body, a fair complexion, and facial features like a natural one, and walked into the main hall step by step.

Under the convergence of all eyes, the two of them saluted the emperor and the empress successively, and then got up and sat down in the direction of their house.

After the whole set of movements, Yuen Long was like flowing water, as if there was no dazzling gaze from the surrounding area at all.

And his appearance is obviously more than anything else since the beginning of the banquet to attract everyone's attention.

For more than 20 years, almost no one knows the appearance of the second son of Qin Anhou's Mansion, and he has the impression that he is a monster, otherwise how could he have been hidden and dare not bring it out?

But when I saw it today, it was completely different from what I imagined, and everyone was stunned on the spot.

Just when all the questions were tangled together and waiting for answers, Yuen Long got up after taking a seat, took out a delicate small box from behind him and sent it to the six princes, "Your Highness, this is a gift for the princess that you ordered your father to bring back early, it's all because we encountered something on the way and sent it late, I hope Your Highness won't be surprised." ”

Chu Yi smiled generously, "It's not too late, it's just right!" As he spoke, he directly handed the small box into Gao Yang's hand, "Open it and see if you like it or not." "The image of a brother who is full of sweet pet sisters.

Gao Yang appreciated Chu Yi's "this is about the same" expression, and nodded to Yuen Long with a smile, which was polite, and then opened the box himself.
