Chapter 351: Dark Tide

Qi Lu and Xie Ke had no intention of celebrating their daughter's first birthday.

They were away from Beijing for a few months and only returned yesterday, originally wanting to spend their birthday with their daughter quietly. It's just that...... When Qi Lu was having breakfast, Yuhui took the opportunity to report to the guest.

“…… Dozens of officials below the fifth rank in the DPRK and China came, and the names of slaves and maids were not registered one by one.

Officials with five grades or more can also sit at three tables. There were also several important ministers of the court, all of whom came with their wives and children.

Although Princess Yuyang did not come in person, Xiao Gongzi came to the door in person, and he also brought a generous gift...... The Nan Yan clan sent people to send a generous gift...... The leader of the Great Eagle in the North sent a generous gift...... The fourth prince of Chu came in person and had been invited by Steward Cheng to the flower hall for tea. ”

Hearing the name of the fourth prince of Chu, not only Qi Lu, but Xie Ke also asked with a happy face. "Uncle is here?" "Yes, not long after the young grandmother left Beijing, the fourth prince of Chu returned to Beijing."

Xie Ke was shocked, thinking that he was really stupid. At the beginning, the little uncle obviously brought her a letter, saying that she had returned from the north and arrived in the capital in a few days, but she was bent on finding Qi Lu, and she actually left the little uncle behind. Even if he came back safely, he didn't think about sending a message to his uncle.

"Ah Lu, when you were appointed as an inspector by the emperor, I sent a message to my little uncle in a hurry."

“…… So the fourth prince of Chu came to the capital for us? Qi Lu thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice. Xie Ke nodded, and the expression on Qi Lu's face changed, and then a smile appeared on his face. "Since he came to the door today, he naturally won't blame you. Besides, we returned safely, and there was no better news for my little uncle. ”

Qi Lu comforted with a smile on his face.

Xie Ke nodded. "After the feast, I want to see my little uncle." "That's nature." Qi Lu nodded.

After the rain was reported, I went down to arrange many matters. Qi Lu sighed softly. "We didn't send a post at all, and so many people came." Xie Ke and Qi Lu both understand the truth that the tree is a big wind, so they didn't plan to celebrate their daughter's first birthday at all, they just wanted to set a table in the backyard and drink water, and then coax the little girl to have a good day. I didn't want to have so many distinguished guests.

And uninvited.

"It's a visitor. You go to the front hall to entertain guests, you don't have to worry about the female family, Yuhui is ready early in the morning. ”

Yuhui acted prudently and prepared very well for a rainy day.

It's that Xie Ke and Qi Lu don't have plans to feast on guests. Yuhui and Cheng Jin were also secretly prepared. In a word. It will not make the Qi Mansion lose face.

Qi Lu nodded, and with his handsome face of 'broken appearance', he swaggered to the outer courtyard to entertain guests. Xie Ke shook his head, not knowing if there would be rumors that she was a '' tomorrow.

In the outer courtyard, guests are arranged in the flower hall and the side hall, and the flower hall is full of high-ranking people. Among them, Xiao Qingqian is respected, and Chu Ye is by his side, Chu Ye's Xiao Qingqian has known each other as early as in the north, and the relationship between the two is very good. On the other hand, there are some important ministers in the court.

Qi Lu is an upstart in the DPRK, and no one knows this.

Therefore, those officials who want to get together or take the opportunity to talk will not miss today.

Because except for the birthday of the little county lord, there is really no excuse to come to the Qi clan...... Qi Lu has an unpredictable personality, and he is afraid of provoking the little overlord when he comes to the door on weekdays, only if he comes to the door today, he must be right.

The birthday of the little county lord is for the sake of his daughter's face, and the second son of Qi will also welcome guests with a smile. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be so many guests......

There are even a few members of the three grades of the DPRK and China.

Several people looked at each other, and finally fixed their curious eyes on Chu Ye. This Fourth Master Chu is 'famous'. Wangchuan Chu is a beautiful person, that is a thing that the whole country knows. I didn't expect that the Yushu Linfeng born by the fourth master of Chu was not much better than the second son of Qi. And he is young and has a good conversation, and it is rumored that he has some power in the north, and even the emperor wants to recruit him.

"Gongzi Chu actually came all the way for the birthday of the little county lord, which is really touching." The implication is that Chu Ye really cares for the second young lady of Qi.

If you dig deeper, it seems to be quite ...... It's fascinating.

The officials couldn't help but smile deeply. As for why they didn't like Chu Ye and said a run, in fact, it is not difficult to guess the reason. Chu Ye is young and promising, and he is seen by the emperor. Everyone has sharpened their heads and wants to enter the ranks, but this Fourth Master Chu is good, it is said that for the emperor's recruitment, he even bluntly said that he did not like to be an official.

Isn't this a slap in the face of an official?

And then there is the face of Fourth Master Chu. is so handsome, it's just beautiful.

The second prince of Qi did not dare to arrange it, but the fourth prince of Chu was just a flat-headed commoner, even if the Chu family had silver, they were powerful and powerful, and they would be afraid of a small businessman. Moreover, Chu Ye actually sat next to Xiao Qingqian, for this Qingqian son, the courtiers wanted to make friends, but they felt that they had no way to start. Compared to Qi Lu, this one is not much better.

Born noble, Xiao Qingqian has more to rely on than Qi Lulai.

After Tadashi.

His father gave his life for the country...... And his mother, Princess Yuyang, is a model of women's morality.

With such a noble background, he has developed a boundless character. It is said that as long as Xiao Gongzi is released from the house, it is normal for him not to return for a year and a half, and he has almost never seen this master show his face at the palace feast.

is such a difficult person to befriend, but he has a very happy conversation with Chu Ye.

Naturally, the officials and Chu Ye and Xiao Qingqian formed such a clear attitude. Chu Ye drank the tea unhurriedly, and didn't seem to hear the other party's obviously ill-intentioned question.

Fourth Master Chu's leisure naturally caused the other party to be dissatisfied...... When the other party wants to continue to speak. Xiao Qingqian raised her eyebrows and said. “…… Ben Shao came, and several adults also came. Isn't the fourth prince of Chu unable to come? ”

“…… Come and go, come and go. Xia Guan was just curious, Wangchuan was thousands of miles away. The fourth prince of Chu actually traveled thousands of miles for the little county lord, which was really moving. ”

"It's just a thousand miles, what's so strange. Ben Shao was curious about the scenery of the north, and once traveled thousands of miles with Alu to the north. The implication is that compared to him, Chu Ye's reason is much more legitimate.

A few adults on the other side wiped their sweat.

Regarding Xiao Qingqian's words, I didn't know how to refute them. Although the other party no longer spoke, Xiao Qingqian didn't intend to reveal it, he raised his eyebrows and continued. "After reading the northern border, Ben Shao felt that the southern border should also be visited. So he turned to the south...... A few of them have been detained in Beijing for too long, so they haven't seen much of the world, and Ben Shao has recently been planning to go to sea to meet the world, so it is better to invite a few adults to accompany him.
