Chapter 217: Yao Xuan's Birthday Banquet

As the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi, the county lord of Yongjia, and the princess of Prince Zhun Jinshun, Yao Xuan is a well-deserved first person among the official nobles here in the border city, so her birthday banquet has become a big event in the border city after the New Year. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Especially in the previous time, the Hou Mansion was low-key, and only exchanged gifts with various mansions but did not have banquets, so everyone was more curious about the Wu family's mother and daughter, and they all wanted to take advantage of this birthday banquet to meet Yao Houye's wife and daughter and see how outstanding they were.

Especially the Wu family, who gave birth to four children and was still favored by a man like Yao Houye, simply exhausted the hatred value of female creatures!

Yao Houye intended to make a face for his daughter, so he rented the largest and most luxurious hot spring house here in the border city as a venue, and bought thousands of pots of flowers cultivated in the greenhouse, and gave Yao Xuan a warm birthday banquet in the wet and cold winter in the south.

And Yao Houye's extravagant pomp was put out, first of all, he suppressed the long-tongued women in the official house, and they worked hard to hold the shelves one by one, maintaining a dignified posture, and they didn't even dare to say more, for fear of being coarse by this place and this scene.

My father gave himself a long face like this, Yao Xuan naturally wouldn't deal with the demolition, so on the day of the ninth birthday, Yao Xuan dressed herself carefully in a gorgeous dress, and specially painted a light makeup herself, blessing her beauty to thirteen points, and then appeared with Wu.

Fifteen-year-old Yao Xuan's body has risen a little taller, and her figure has also become exquisite, although her appearance is still a little immature, but she can already see the beauty in the future, and it is still a particularly bright and noble kind of beauty, which is a very popular 'main room' style nowadays.

Therefore, as soon as Yao Xuan appeared, she immediately attracted everyone's appreciation and praise, especially some elderly ladies, who praised the wisdom of the emperor, and the county lord of Yongjia really deserved the prince's princess and so on.

As for those who are envious and jealous of the Wu family, although they secretly rub their bellies and slander that the Wu family is really a weak 'fox' appearance, no wonder they can hook the heart of the Hou Ye, etc., but they have nothing to do with Yao Xuan, the quasi-prince and princess, so they all compliment her sincerely or falsely.

For a while, the whole birthday party seemed to be harmonious.

Although Yao Xuan has participated in many grander parties in Beijing in the past, it is the first time that she has done the protagonist, and now she has been praised by everyone like a star-studded moon, and she is almost embarrassed to hear it......

However, Yao Xuan didn't show any of it on her face, and she always responded calmly with a smile.

By the time the luncheon had begun, the guests had turned their attention to the banquet and the singing and dancing, and the Wu mother and daughter were finally able to rest and breathe, while in a central seat that they had not noticed, the wife and daughter of a middle-class official were talking almost silently.

"It's really worthy of His Highness." One of them, the young and handsome girl, covered her lips with the gesture of drinking, and then muttered to the other person in a somewhat sour tone.

"Be careful!" The lady who looked like she was in her thirties secretly glared at her daughter, and after the other party looked away, she glanced at the people around her and whispered, "In the future, you just have to make friends with the county lord, and you must be able to ask the county lord to go out to play together when the news comes." ”

"Daughter understood!" The young girl shrunk her shoulders at her mother's glance, hurriedly responded with a flattering smile, and then looked at Yao Xuan, who was the protagonist of the banquet, with a vague gaze, thinking that as long as she bent her mind, wouldn't it be easy to please such a noble girl in the capital?

Merely...... The young girl still had some doubts in her heart, wondering how her Royal Highness dared to snatch a woman with the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was most favored by the Emperor Taishang?

Yao Xuan didn't know that she had been remembered by others, she was listening to Gong Zhe's internal officials with the Wu clan at this time, and it turned out that Gong Zhe had another letter and gift delivered, so Yao Houye directly asked him to go to the inner courtyard to report to Yao Xuan in person.

"Didn't the prince's gift have already been delivered with the palace, why is there another one?" Wu remembered that Gong Zhe had already given a generous gift, and she also ordered someone to carry it directly into her daughter's courtyard, so Wu looked at Yao Xuan after speaking.

"yes, what else did my cousin tell you?" Yao Xuan also looked at the internal official curiously, wanting to know what kind of medicine was sold in Gong Zhe's gourd.

"That's not true, Your Highness just said that you want the slave to be served on the day of the birthday banquet." The little officer replied by bending down respectfully.

And because of the special internal official service of the little internal official, coupled with his deference to Yao Xuan, it is not difficult for everyone to guess his origin, and the lady who sat closer to the chairman of the Jiedu envoy, and the wife of another deputy Jiedu envoy, they vaguely heard that it was the prince of Jinshun who gave him a courtesy gift, so they were a little sour and funny, so that Yao Xuan showed it to open everyone's eyes.

What they thought in their hearts was that since His Royal Highness had already given a big gift, how could he give it again was probably a flattering gift, or something more private, maybe they could still see the jokes of this quasi-princess.

When the other people heard this, they all followed with envy or jealousy, and Yao Xuan's gaze swept the audience slightly, so that he made a general distinction between the people who were facing the two families.

Yao Xuan knew that Gong Zhe had a heart for herself, and she didn't care if she didn't look at the gifts in public, but seeing them so 'curious' at this time, she simply fulfilled them.

The little internal official knows what gifts his son has given, and he thinks to himself, you people still want to see the jokes of the county lord? Wait to be slapped in the face!

The little internal official had the heart to support his future mother, and when he turned to the others, he put the shelf of the palace internal official ten layers to a foot, and Shi Shiran ordered someone to carry up the big box containing gifts.

"It's a rosewood box!" The sharp-eyed lady recognized the material of the box, and couldn't help but call softly, knowing that even if she didn't look at the contents inside, this big box alone was already worth a lot of money.

The lady's words caused everyone to talk in a low voice, and the two ladies who wanted to take the opportunity to laugh at Yao Xuan before subconsciously glanced at each other, and then looked away boringly and unpleasantly.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, the little internal official personally took out the key to open the lock of the box, and then pressed a certain mechanism, and saw that the box was automatically opened in several layers, but it turned out to be a very delicate mechanism box. (To be continued.) )
