Chapter Ninety-Nine: Feng Yi Thousand
As the days passed, and Deng Man's birthday was getting closer and closer, the palace of Chu gradually began to get busy. Because the happy event is approaching, Xiong Zhen also has a smile on his face that can't be hidden.
The night before his birthday, Xiong Yun held Xi Fei's hand tightly and stopped talking. Recently, many messengers have been received one after another, and countless people have come to give gifts, and no matter how many things Rao has, Xiong Yun has not forgotten the beauty around him, and his heart is thinking about whether she will go or not.
Then there was a self-deprecation, ruined her original life, and forced her to be Mrs. Wenwang, she must hate herself now, why did she let her attend in the name of Mrs. Wenwang? But then I thought, what if I hadn't informed her about it, and she would have learned that she was angry, wouldn't that be self-destructive? Even if you know it's self-inflicted, try it!
I was entangled in my heart, and after hesitating again and again, I still said, "Tomorrow my mother's birthday, I don't ask you to go, you just follow your own heart, I'll just tell you!" If you don't go, I'll say you're not well, and if you go...... I may not be able to come to see you tomorrow during the day, and the dinner will be very long, so you should be careful not to stay at the window all the time and get cold. After that, there was no sound.
The warmth of the palm of her hand is still transmitting, but Xi Fei's heart is very entangled. Since entering the palace of the King of Chu, Xiong Yun has always spoken to himself only with you and me, and has completely faded away from his king's indispensability, is it because he feels ashamed of me, yes, otherwise how could he lower his posture with such arrogance.
On this night, the palace of the king of Chu was full of lanterns, blooming Luan Feng, and the sound of sheng flute and drum music was endless, whether it was Xiong Zhen or Ziyuan, his face was excited.
The time for the dinner has finally arrived, and the distinguished guests of the friendly countries have been received, and the rest are all the children of the Chu State. Deng Man's birthday naturally sat at the top, smiling at the group of princes below. Fluff is favored. He made an exception and sat next to Dunman. Below are naturally the parent-child Xiong Zhen and Ziyuan, and the remaining seats are Xiong Zhen's various half-brothers, all the way to the middle of the main hall.
Each seat is equipped with two seats, namely Wang Gui and his wife. Such a feast. Every king and grandson of Chu is dressed up to attend, and the various ladies beside him are also showy, and the beauty is compelling, and even Ziyuan, who has always been pure-hearted, also has his wife sitting next to him. The posture is not inferior to others, but the only special one is Xiong Yun, and Xi Fei did not come here.
Everyone could clearly see the anger on Xiong Yun's face, he didn't say anything to others, he drank one cup after another alone, Deng Man was not a fool, and he could naturally see the schadenfreude and ridicule on the faces of these princes' children.
They are all princes, and the person who eventually becomes the king of Chu is bound to be hated by others, and they take the opportunity to laugh and ridicule, and the state of Chu sent troops to destroy it some time ago. Just for a woman, she snatched the state of Chu strongly, and became the wife of King Wen on the same day, and the news spread among the princes, there was no rumor, and his family agreed and ignored it, and those scheming people finally seized an opportunity, and it was not good to laugh at it.
Those ugly faces simply made Deng Man disgusted, cleared his throat, and said to the children of Chu Guo below: "Mrs. Wen Wang is not in good health. The old body has agreed that she will not come to the dinner! ”
A man at the banquet below arched his hand and said, "Mother, this Mrs. Wen Wang is a newcomer, and the time is not very long, and this dinner is your birthday." She shirked her physical discomfort, isn't it too much! ”
A group of them themselves had bad intentions, and when they saw that one of them was up, the following ones echoed and said: "Yes, mother, Mrs. Wen has only been in Chu for a short time. You can't let it go, otherwise you will be suppressed in the future, this move is disrespectful, it is necessary to give her a good blow, let her know that this is no longer a country, and she can't help it! ”
Xiong Yan let out a low roar, "That's enough! The voice was not loud, but the king's momentum shocked everyone present, and no one dared to say more, "She is the widow's wife, she has not come to ask the widow, and the mother has agreed, where is it your turn to get more words from you, since you are here to attend the dinner to celebrate your mother's birthday, then don't talk about these trivial things and disturb the situation!" ”
The others at the table didn't dare to echo anymore, they all obediently remained silent, and the hall was a little dull for a while, but it was broken in the next second.
The waiter outside the door spread the word, Mrs. Wen Wang has arrived!
The legendary Mrs. Xi, the beauty who is famous among the princes, and the beauty who makes Xiong Yun do whatever it takes, finally appeared. After that report, everyone's eyes were turned in that direction, and they all wanted to see what this famous concubine looked like.
Xi Fei slowly walked into the palace calmly under the gaze of everyone, and the two maids behind her carried a large frame, covered by a red cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
As soon as she appeared, she amazed everyone present, with heavy makeup, a little red lips on her eyebrows, and her eyes like water, coupled with the brocade clothes on her body, which brought her beauty to the extreme.
A smile on his lips that seemed to be absent captured everyone's hearts in an instant. sighed again and again: Beautiful, really beautiful!
With a gentle smile, Xi Fei bowed politely, and said slightly apologetically: "If my mother doesn't come to celebrate her birthday, it really can't be said, although the concubine is unwell, but she still has to send this birthday gift!" ”
Then he turned around and lifted the red cloth, the items inside were displayed in front of everyone, and the frame was embedded with a piece of embroidery, Xi Fei knelt down in front of Deng Man, bowed her head, and said: "This beautiful brocade is the birthday gift of the son to his mother, and I hope that my mother will not dislike it!" The son wishes his mother that the sun and the moon will be prosperous, the pine crane will be long-lasting, the spring and autumn will not be old, and the ancient will be rare again. Smile and look at the blessings of today, and wish you a long life. ”
Seeing this, Deng Man was full of smiles, and hurriedly walked down to help Xi Fei, held her hand, and looked at this beautiful brocade, full of joy, not only rejoicing in the magnificence of the brocade, but also rejoicing that such a smart Xi Concubine gave her Chu Guo a face.
Xi Fei did not lose her solemn gentleness, walked to Xiong Yan's table, picked up the wine glass and poured out a glass of sake, raised it to Deng Man, and said: "Mother's birthday, this glass of wine should be a son's courtesy to you!" ”
"Good, good!" Deng Man's face was full of smiles, and he was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law in his heart. After toasting Deng Man, Concubine Xi poured another glass, with friendship flowing in her eyes, looked at Xiong Yun with a smile, and said tenderly: "This second glass of wine is naturally to honor the king!" Faced with Xi Fei's sudden arrival, Xiong Yun was obviously a little surprised, and some wooden people picked up the wine glass, and drank numbly, not knowing the taste.
Xi Fei picked up the third cup, got up and looked around at the children of the Chu State, smiled proudly, and said warmly with Feng Yi, the mother of the country: "All the princes gathered together to celebrate the birthday of the mother, this is a major event of my Chu State, but please forgive me, the palace is really unwell, it is difficult to accompany here, but please all the princes talk freely and have a good time!" He raised the glass in his hand and bowed his head down.
After three cups, Xi Fei signaled to Deng Man and Xiong Yun in turn, and left gently and pleasantly.
In the eyes of everyone, those scenes just now really seem to be in a dream, because only such immortals will appear in dreams, and their form and temperament are like immortals, and the voice is as beautiful as water, caressing everyone's hearts wave by wave.
Their gaze was on the departure of Xi Fei, and they couldn't stop it for a long time, and these undoubtedly looked like stingers in the eyes of their wives, reminding their husbands of their image in their own way. These men turned their heads impatiently, looked at their own wives, and sighed in their hearts, why did they marry such a good, if they had tasted a fairy like Xi Fei in their lifetime, it would be worth dying, even if they remarried, they wouldn't care. I think I understand Xiong Zhen in general.,Some jealous feelings.。 (To be continued.) )
