Chapter 56: The Birthday Banquet

"Senior brother, Your Majesty's birthday banquet, I decided to go with you."

"It's decided?" Helian Xi closed the fan in his hand, put away a lazy look, and said solemnly: "Don't regret it." ”

Luo Rao nodded firmly, her eyes were as calm as water, she wanted to watch the appearance of this prince who thought that everything was in her hands falling from a height, and she wanted to watch the expression of this unscrupulous Qi Yin who lost his thirst for things. With this opportunity, she wants to take a look at the dead Shen family, and in the future, she will let him lose everything and fall into the dust.

"No regrets." Luo Rao resolutely spit out these two words, although she didn't understand why her senior brother sold Guanzi, she had one more sentence to ask her not to regret it. In any case, she has to go and see, remember the ruthless person, and remind herself not to forget the situation. A lesson from the past, the Shen family is like this, what will happen to the Luo family in the future?

"Well, in that case, then sit next to me when you are present. It's just that Luo Rao of Wuliang Mountain is not the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, understand? ”

Luo Rao nodded, she naturally understood. Wuliang Mountain has already shown her attitude and does not participate in all kinds of battles, which is also the reason why the mountain gate has been stable for a long time, and she naturally can't make trouble for her master.

Emperor Cheng Xuan's birthday banquet soon arrived, and hundreds of officials congratulated him. What attracted everyone's attention was not only the gifts offered by the princes and princesses, but also the promise of Wuliangshan to attend this year, one by one very surprised, this year actually agreed, and they kept talking. When they received the news, all the ministers stood up to congratulate His Majesty and said God bless Dayan.

On this day, even the guards waiting at the palace gate tiptoed and looked into the distance from time to time, wanting to see what the people of this immeasurable mountain looked like, whether it was the same as what the storyteller said, looking like a fairy wind and bones, twisting his fingers, and knowing what would happen in the future. If he can also get involved in immortality, he can turn around with good luck in the future, and it would be good to marry a virtuous wife and have two babies.

He watched it for a long time, and was a little deflated, and the people who entered the palace gate one by one were all high-ranking officials who had seen them on weekdays, and they had never seen people from Wuliang Mountain come over until now. Suddenly, he saw a white horse very strong, running freely on the official road with its hooves scattered, its mane flying, and its speed like the wind, and in a short time it came to him and stopped steadily.

"It's coming, it's coming." He was overjoyed, such a different horse, such a luxurious carriage, looking at it with a bit of immortal energy, who else would it be if it wasn't a person from Wuliang Mountain? There were officials who had not yet entered the room, and when they were so happy, they all pulled their necks to look.

The carriage stopped, and everyone saw a prince dressed in a moon-white moire brocade robe get out of the car, he held a gold silk folding fan in his hand, and gestured, becoming more and more elegant, graceful, and magnificent. Luo Rao followed Helian Xi and got out of the carriage together, her clothes were fluttering, she was wearing an elegant white wide-sleeved fairy dress, her eyebrows fell in front of her forehead and swayed, although the veil covered her face, it was difficult to hide her smart temperament. Seeing this scene, everyone sighed, the extraordinary products produced by Wuliang Mountain are indeed true, even people.

When they walked in, the crowd gasped.

The man's eyebrows are picturesque, handsome, and the contours are clear, and the woman's eyes are shining, and the posture is elegant, and the two stand side by side.

"Could this man be?" When a person saw Helian Xi's face, he suddenly recognized who he was, and then hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around cautiously, and said no more.

Although he whispered, Helian Xi had already heard it in his ears, lowered his eyes, and then walked towards the palace with Luo Rao as if nothing had happened.

Zhi Jinwu led them to the main hall, only to see that the neat banquet tables in the hall were arranged at the left and right ends, with all kinds of snacks and fruits on the tables, and Gong E was still adding vegetables one after another.

When a eunuch saw Helian Xi coming, he immediately led him to a position close to the imperial step, while Luo Rao sat close to Helian Xi and sat down.

It's almost time for people to come, and Emperor Cheng Xuan can come.

He was dressed in a bright yellow robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and his surroundings were bright and dignified. Everyone hurriedly got up and bowed, and Emperor Cheng Xuan said flat, and his voice was thick.

At the banquet, the staggered plans, and everyone congratulated His Majesty on his birthday.

According to the order, the eldest princess Qi Mi got up and left her seat, and bowed elegantly, "Mi'er specially found Kunshan white jade and asked the ghost to carve it into a statue of Guanyin, wishing her father and the emperor good fortune like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”

"Okay, okay." Emperor Cheng Xuan was quite pleased, the eldest daughter has always been sensible and generous. He looked at the queen beside him, dignified and gentle, although he had never given birth to a prince, he taught this only daughter very well.

When it was Qi Yin's turn, Emperor Cheng Xuan was full of expectations, he knew that this child had been busy for his birthday banquet for a long time before, and he was extremely filial. I said that he should pick his own words and seal the king's name, but until now I don't know that I am in a hurry and I don't care about these. How did he not know what the people in the court would think, seeing the wind and rudder, thinking that he didn't care about this son?

This kid, he is still very satisfied. Yin Er has worked hard this time, why don't you give him a title at this banquet, the word "Rui" is very good.

Qi Yin congratulated aloud with confidence: "Erchen searched for a long time, and finally got a painting, which is Master Qian Songqing's "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and Erchen feels that only this painting is the most appropriate to celebrate his father's birthday. The child wishes his father and the emperor every year, smiling and looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”

As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar, and they all whispered, it was actually the painting of the long-lost master Qian Songqing, the second prince was lucky. It is not easy to find Master Qian Songqing's picture scroll on weekdays, let alone get this most famous one. In order to find this painting, the second prince must have put a lot of thought into it, and His Majesty must think that he is extremely filial, and I am afraid that at this birthday banquet, the second prince will be in the limelight.

Helian Xi also saw everyone's expressions, he shook his fan, but he didn't say a word, and glanced at Luo Rao meaningfully.

Luo Rao happened to look at Helian Xi at this time, and when she saw her senior brother's eyes, she smiled at Helian Xi with a little weakness, then quickly lowered her head, took a piece of pastry, lifted a little veil, carefully blocked it with her hand, and gently bit it in her mouth and chewed it.

Emperor Cheng Xuan was also overjoyed when he heard that the congratulatory gift was "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", he didn't expect this son to be so attentive, he had been the emperor for many years, and he had never seen anything good, but this painting of Qian Songqing was rare to see, and he liked it very much, and he sent someone to find it, and finally got so two. How difficult it was for this son to find such a famous painting.

"Bring it up and let me take a good look."

He didn't wait for the eunuch on the side to unfold, so he reached out and took it, and slowly unfolded it little by little. Looking at the painting on it is magnificent, the pen is strong, showing the majesty of the great country.

Emperor Cheng Xuan was overjoyed and shouted, "Okay." ”

Just as everyone was congratulating His Majesty on getting this painting, Qi Lian got up from his throne and said to Qi Hui and Qi Yan with an apologetic smile: "There are some coincidences, the third brother and the fourth sister don't mind that I come first." ”

"It doesn't matter." Qin Wang Qiyan didn't mind, and took a bite of food to eat.

"Father, the congratulatory gift of the sons and daughters is heavy with the second emperor's brother." When he said this, everyone thought that he was going to offer a picture scroll, but his next sentence was amazing.

"The congratulatory gift of the sons is also the famous work of Master Qian Songqing "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
