The warm scene of Linchuan Wang and his wife smiling at each other and walking hand in hand fell in the eyes of other royal relatives who entered the palace to attend the banquet, which made many people sigh in their hearts. Look at the gentle smile in King Linchuan's eyes when he looked at Princess Linchuan, is this still the little overlord of the capital who didn't give Princess Linchuan face in front of Anyuanbo's Mansion two months ago and taught her a lesson?

I didn't expect that this Princess Linchuan was a man with means, and even a man like King Linchuan could be entrapped, it's not simple!

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but glance at Princess Linchuan a few more times, and was glared at by King Linchuan with an unkind face, and immediately didn't dare to look more, so they hurriedly stepped up the steps and entered the Shou'an Palace.

Qin Fei took Cai Wei's hand and swaggered in, because of the difference between men and women, even if she is the princess, she can't sit on the same table as Qin Fei, but like other relatives and daughters, they all sit on a separate table behind the screen behind the husband.

Because Concubine Jin was sick and couldn't come, she only had a seat for her in that place. In the upper left seat of her, the two daughters of King Yingchuan, Princess Cui and Concubine Cao, were dressed up and came together, but although they sat next to the same table, no one paid attention to anyone, and when they saw Zhou Caiwei coming, the two of them looked at her coldly together.

Seeing that they didn't mean to get up to greet her, Cai Wei just smiled and nodded at them when they looked over, and sat down on her own.

At one moment, the ceremony and music sounded in unison, and today's birthday star Emperor Lin De came out of the back of the palace, ascended the throne, and exempted everyone from paying homage to the birthday ceremony, and first sent Qin Fei down. He loves this nephew the most, but the bigger this nephew is, the more worry-free it is, and it is easy to go back to the capital, but he still runs away without a shadow at every turn, and this time he hasn't seen his shadow for two months, so angry that Emperor Lin De doesn't care about his longevity, and first teaches this disobedient nephew.

His face was flat, and he glared at Qin Fei and said, "Where have you been hanging out all these days, if it weren't for my birthday today, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to go back to the house, right?" Don't you know anything? ”

Qin Fei stood up and grinned: "Since the Holy Lord knows everything, why didn't he know that his nephew sneaked out of Beijing this time, didn't he want to pick a treasure you like to congratulate you on your birthday?" Every year on this longevity festival, the birthday gifts given by the ministers to the saints are all carefully selected treasures that have been hollowed out, if the nephew does not have some heart, but also chooses a good one, will they not be compared? ”

Emperor Lin De smiled slightly, "Then you have spent these two months of hard work, what kind of good treasure have you found as my birthday gift?" ”

Qin Fei slapped his face, and immediately a eunuch walked up to Qin Fei with a birdcage in both hands.

When Emperor Lin De saw the birdcage, he was overjoyed, and sure enough, it was this nephew who knew his favorite best. It turns out that Emperor Lin Dedi likes to raise all kinds of birds with bright feathers to enjoy since he was a child, which can be regarded as his biggest hobby in this life.

When he was more than ten years old, he got a very beautiful scarlet embroidered eyes, because he couldn't put it down, he went to the imperial study to study in his sleeve, and happened to be inadvertently to the imperial study to check the prince's studies The first emperor saw him, reprimanded him severely, and ordered people to cut off the heads of all the birds he raised, and he was no longer allowed to raise these things.

Later, when he ascended the throne as the emperor, although he raised birds again, in the end, because he had been reprimanded by the first emperor, he did not dare to make a big deal about raising birds, and always asked his close attendants to quietly go to find some rare birds for him to come back and secretly enjoy them.

Now seeing that this nephew is going to give him a bird as a birthday gift, he suddenly feels itchy, but the bird cage is covered with a dark blue flannel, which is tightly covered, and Qin Fei is blowing there again, making people even more curious about what kind of rare bird is contained there.

Qin Fei carried the carved bird cage and walked to the middle of the main hall and said proudly: "Holy Lord, the bird in this cage is extremely rare, and it can be said that it is a beautiful bird that you have never seen before. In order to find such a unique treasure, the nephew did not know how many pairs of boots were worn out, but it can be said that it took a lot of trouble to catch it himself. ”

He whetted the appetite of Emperor Lin De and everyone, and then took off the blue cloth on the birdcage, and everyone hurriedly opened their eyes to look at the rare things in the cage, and the hall suddenly resounded with a sound of admiration.

The bird offered by Qin Fei is indeed extremely beautiful, the feathers on the top of the head are as red as jewels, but the feathers on the throat are extremely beautiful aqua blue, the wings are blue-green, the waist and long tail are light blue, the □□ is light green, and the color of the whole body is extremely bright and colorful.

Among these dignitaries here, there are also a few people who like to raise birds, but they have never seen such gorgeous and unique birds, and they have the heart to take the bird cage in their hands to take a closer look.

"Fei'er, the bird you caught turned out to be a red-capped blue-throated bird!" Emperor Lin De exclaimed with some excitement.

Suddenly, a few people who really love birds at the bottom of the stairs also became excited, "Red-topped blue-throated!" That is the first treasure in the "Xiangniao Sutra", the "Xiangniao Sutra" said that the reason why this bird ranks first, one is because of the beauty of its coat color, and the other is because this bird is extremely rare. "Xiangniao Sutra" said that this bird was more than sparrows in ancient times, but because of its natural □□, beauty and jealousy, like to kill each other, so when it came to Yan Qin, it was rare to see in the world, this thing was rare and expensive, so it was selected as the top of the list.

"It's so rare to see such a rare bird, and you caught a pair and presented it to me!" Lynde looked at the pair of precious birds in the cage and was overjoyed.

Qin Fei smiled, "This good thing comes in pairs!" What's more, the nephew has just married the princess and become a relative, and he has a good couple to join hands for a lifetime, and he will be with him for the rest of his life, how can he bear to catch this bird and be a lonely one! It took the nephew more than half a month to find a female bird to accompany the male bird. It's so that they can also form a pair and be each other's company. This missed the time, and it was not until this morning that the nephew returned to the capital, and hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace to congratulate the saint on his birthday, which made the saint worry about his nephew again. ”

Emperor Lin Dedi glanced at him, nodded and said: "No wonder when I saw you, I felt that your complexion was a little bad, it can be seen that these days are really too busy and hard work outside, it is enough for you to have this intention, in the future, you must not do this in the future, just to prepare a birthday gift for me, so that you will waste all your time." ”

Qin Fei grinned and said, "As long as the Holy Lord likes this birthday gift from his nephew, and gives his nephew some more rare treasures, how can these two months be said to be wasted?" ”

Emperor Lin De glared at him, "Thinking about what you have done, you still dare to ask for a reward?" ”

This nephew not only left Beijing without authorization, but also presented a letter every day to deceive himself into thinking that he was recuperating in the Xishan Courtyard with peace of mind, if it wasn't for An Chengxu to report to him that he saw the king of Linchuan in Fujian, he was really deceived by this nephew again.

"I've read all the letters you wrote to me in the past two months, didn't your letters say that you had read a bunch of Confucius and Mencius' ways, so write me another fifty thousand-word essays, and tell me in detail what you have read from them."

Cai Wei remembered the one-sentence reading notes that Qin Fei wrote to Emperor Lin De, and felt that this punishment was really suitable for Qin Fei, so that he could deal with the errand again and perfunctory?

She was snickering, and suddenly heard a sharp and thin voice in the hall said: "His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan wants to reward, this is not easy, in order to celebrate the birthday of the saint, add some wine, the old slave has a mention, this past to the banquet to help the show is nothing more than some singing and dancing silk bamboo, this is a little bit new, it is better for us to learn from the ancients today, invite two people who are good at sword dancing to fight swords in the field, for the saint's fun, and then ask the queen mother and the saint to compare the sword to win the person to reward some colorful heads, I don't know what the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord think of the old slave's idea? ”

Empress Dowager Sun preemptively said: "Father-in-law An's idea is good, I always watch singing and dancing or something, it's really a little boring, this palace really wants to see you dance the sword." ”

Emperor Lin De saw that his mother agreed, so he said indispensably: "Well, this is also a trick that has never been made at a banquet before, and it is just right for you Aiqing to show your swordsmanship." Which two Aiqing will compete first? ”

Cai Wei frowned slightly, the aristocratic men of the Central Plains before the Northern Qin, in addition to learning the six arts of the gentleman, were also swordsmen, and learned swordsmanship to strengthen their bodies, and they could protect their families and countries in wartime.

However, the first emperor of Northern Qin won the throne because of the mutiny, and he was afraid that the generals who led the troops would also have the same imperial robe as he did. At the strictest time, even the ceremonial swords and guns used in folk sacrifices and social dramas were banned, and they could only be impersonated in the shape of wood pasted with tin foil.

It was from that time that the men of the Central Plains began to lose the martial spirit that had been inherited for thousands of years. In the past few hundred years, there are fewer and fewer men who like to use guns and knives, and there are more and more scholars who study hard.

Qin Fei still smiled at the corner of his lips, poured himself another glass of wine, and felt a faint pain in his injured right chest. He slowly shook the golden cup in his hand and watched the red pill inside gradually dissolve into it.

Although among the people in this hall, there are only a few who are afraid of some fist and foot kung fu, which can be said to be rare, but since An Chengxu deliberately used this method, there will definitely be someone who jumps out to fight with his sword.

He knew what An Chengxu's purpose was for deliberately proposing a sword competition, but since he dared to enter the palace, he would not come unprepared. He drank the potional wine from his cup, and the pill he had just secretly put into the wine would make him feel no pain for two quarters of an hour, and he could wield his sword and sword without fear of being seen as wounded.

As long as he can end this sword contest within two quarters of an hour, he is confident that the other party will never find out about the injury to his right chest, and then what he is planning in Quanzhou will not be revealed for the time being.

But when he saw the man who stood up and asked him to fight, although the corners of his lips were still smiling, his heart sank slightly.
