Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Lady's Birthday

Seeing that everyone looked over, Yunhuang's eyes crossed Li Ruxue's right hand wrapped in white gauze, lowered his eyebrows and smiled shallowly, and said: "This thousand-year-old ginseng is naturally not my own, this is at the end of last year, my uncle came all the way from the frontier, I am a thick-skinned person, I saw it and immediately asked for it, just waiting for my grandmother's birthday, so that I could borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and Grandmother Bo smiled."

In a word, it amused all the ladies present.

"This kid, it's funny to talk."

"It's hard for her to be filial—"

"Yes, I haven't been in the capital for so many years, and I still think about my elders all the time, and it's really rare to have this filial piety—" ......

Li Wanru heard this, snorted coldly, and pursed his mouth, "How can anyone say that he is thick-skinned, it seems that you are really a cheeky person", although the words were not good, looking at Yunhuang's eyes did not have the previous hostility, but it made Yunhuang surprised.

Li Qing'er laughed: "This kid is really poor, and the little sisters like to laugh with each other."

Seeing that everyone kept praising Yunhuang, it seems that after today, Yunhuang's filial piety name has spread, and this is still her indirect help. The gentle smile on Li Ruxue's face was a little unbearable, how could she get such a valuable thing, how could she get it as a girl who had not left the cabinet, if Yunhuang didn't admit it, she would just take this opportunity to humiliate her, give her a reputation for vanity and lies, if she admitted it, she didn't even prepare a congratulatory gift for her grandmother, and she came over with someone else's things to give a gift, no matter how good this gift is.

But where did she think that she was so thick-skinned, not only generously admitted it, but also bluntly said that she was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, saying this, no one can find a mistake, only think that she is innocent and romantic, a pure heart.

Li Ruxue tugged at the corner of her clothes tightly with her left hand, lowered her head, covered the hatred in her eyes, and said softly: "My sister is really good at laughing."

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the courtyard, and Li Qing'er stood up with a smile, "Mother, it seems that the guests have arrived, take a look, should you move to Rongshou Garden?" ”

Rongshouyuan is a special place to open a banquet, Xuanyuan Dynasty men and women are not so serious, although there is still a particular, but when going out, women do not have to cover their faces with scarves, and men and women can also sit at the same table during the banquet, yes, today's banquet, the male guests are received by Li Chengfeng, the female guests are entertained by the Shen family, and those who are close to the relationship are the first to go to the old lady to chat, and when the guests are all there, they will go to Rongshouyuan together.

Yunhuang lowered her head and followed the crowd out, but suddenly her hand was pulled fiercely, and when she turned around, she saw Li Wanru walking to her side at some point, looking at her with a complicated expression, holding her hand and pinching it very hard.

Yunhuang frowned, and was about to shake her off, but he noticed that a small thing was in his hand, and Li Wanru's low voice came: "Li Yunhuang, you give me care, don't eat what you shouldn't eat, if you fall into someone's way, you deserve it."

After speaking, he let go of his hand, walked a few steps forward, took the old lady's arm, and walked away with a smile.

Behind her, Yunhuang stopped, clutching the paper ball in his hand.

"Yunhuang, what's wrong with you?"

Sensing the strangeness here, Li Wanping, who was walking in front, turned back and asked in a low voice, "But it seems to be embarrassing for you again?" ”

Yun Huang suppressed the doubts in his heart, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, let's go."

Seeing that her face was unharmed, Li Wanping relaxed her heart and pulled her away.

Taking advantage of Li Wanping's inattention, Yunhuang secretly opened the note and took a look, only to see the words "Be careful of my mother and Li Ruxue" written on it, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then used internal force to turn the note into crumbs and throw it away.

It is late autumn, the fallen leaves are colorful, and the fragrance of osmanthus wafts in the air, refreshing people's hearts.

A long red carpet has been laid out in Rongshou Garden, with tables and chairs on both sides of the red carpet, on which fruit and delicacies have already been placed for guests to enjoy. The ladies looked at the old lady coming, and stepped forward to see each other one by one, and the ladies who were familiar with Jimo Wan in the old days stepped forward to pull Yunhuang to ask for warmth a few times, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"

"Princess Chaoyang has arrived—"

"Left-sama has arrived—"

"Scholar Gu arrived—" ......

A few announcements came, seeing Li Chengfeng leading a group of male dependents over, the first one was dressed in a dark brocade robe, eyebrows were long into the sideburns, a beautiful nose bridge, fair skin, and the hands were contented to exude a noble and elegant atmosphere, it was Xuanyuan Che, everyone was shocked, and stood up and saluted.

"Hahaha...... Today is the old lady's birthday, the protagonist is the old lady, everyone is free, don't be restrained because of the arrival of this king", Prince Xuanyuan Che smiled heartily, and walked in first, seeing the old lady standing up, he waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need too much etiquette, and walked directly to the second place opposite, Xuanyuan Che's robe was lifted, and he looked at Murong Jin, "Lord Zuo Xiang, please."

Murong Jin bowed his head slightly, and Xuanbei pushed him to the seat near Xuanyuan Che and took a seat, and a man in green clothes followed and sat below him.

Seeing this, the other male dependents took their seats in turn.

People have come to put up a screen in the middle, so that they can not only separate the sight from both sides, but also hear the laughter and laughter on the other side.

Yun Huang wondered in his heart, although the birthday of the mother of a second-grade official was a big deal, but who is His Royal Highness the Prince, such a pivotal person, he only needs to send his subordinates to send congratulatory gifts, which can be regarded as courtesy to his subordinates, why would he come to congratulate him in person? There is also Zuo Xiang, I heard that he doesn't show up often and rarely walks outside, why does he appear today.

She looked at the opposite side through the screen, and a strange thought suddenly rose in her heart, could it be that the arrival of Zuo Xiang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had something to do with him?

Yunhuang was looking down and thinking, when suddenly a voice like a silver bell sounded: "Sister Yunhuang, do you remember me?" ”

Yunhuang raised her head, a woman stood in front of her, wearing a purple long skirt, with a brocade belt of the same color to tie the slender waist that could not be grasped, the black hair was the same as her, a simple hair curl, only fixed with a golden step, eyes like a green lotus, bright eyes and bright teeth, looking at her with a smile like a flower: "When I was a child, I also hugged you, but I didn't expect you to be so big in a blink of an eye."

Yunhuang immediately got up and saluted: "See Princess Chaoyang."

Princess Chaoyang walked up to Yunhuang with a big grin, sat down without any scruples, took her hand, and pretended to be angry: "You little girl, why, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are estranged from your sister?" As soon as I heard that the imperial brother said that you came to the capital, I hurried over to look for you, those false gifts are almost free for me, come, sit down and tell me, Jiangnan is not fun? Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

Yunhuang smiled faintly, Princess Chaoyang's character was very appetizing to her, she was not the person who conformed to the rules, so she no longer insisted on it, and sat down directly.
