Chapter 346: Gifts

As time goes on, the moment when the birthday feast begins is getting closer and closer. Before the birthday feast begins, as is customary in this era, a master of ceremonies will read out a list of gifts given by the guests.

At the appointed time, all the guests gathered at the place where the gift list was read. Due to the large number of guests attending the meeting, only those important guests with heads and faces can be arranged to sit in the room. As for the other guests of lower status, they had to watch the excitement from a distance outside the room.

None of the guests at the meeting had any dissatisfaction with this arrangement. In such a powerful environment as the capital, they will encounter such treatment almost every time they participate in an important banquet.

Everyone understands that the master's arrangement is really helpless, and there is no slightest intention of neglect, so they don't care. What's more, they came to this kind of banquet with the purpose of establishing a good relationship with the host's family. Since they are asking for help, they will naturally not feel that there is anything to be dissatisfied with when they receive such treatment.

As a student of Hong Qian, Su Wen was certainly entitled to sit in his room and watch the ceremony. She stayed with Mrs. Hong and listened to the master of ceremonies of the birthday banquet read out the birthday gifts sent by each family.

At this time, Hong Qian had already asked for leave and rushed to the Chen Mansion, but due to the separation of male and female guests, he was not arranged to be with Mrs. Hong. His identity is there, and the seat he sits in is naturally the best one in the audience. Probably the crown princess deliberately arranged it, and Mrs. Hong happened to sit face to face with Hong Qian, and the two could make eye contact from time to time.

For the two of them, of course, such an arrangement couldn't be better, but they only asked this little light bulb. He sat next to Mrs. Hong. If you look up, you can see the whole process of these two people's eyebrows.

I have to say that Hong Qian and his wife have a really good relationship. In order to come together, they overcame many difficulties that were difficult to overcome. After tying the knot, the two are still like glue. After so many years, Hong Qian has never taken a concubine, and there has never been any lace news, which is enough to show how much love is stronger than Jin between the two of them.

Seeing that the two made eye contact from time to time, Su Wen complained silently, but secretly envious. She really hopes that she and Mo Yi can be like the two people in front of them, not only can overcome all difficulties and come together. It can be more like a day for decades.

Patronizing and quietly peeking at the intimate interaction between the two. Su Wen didn't listen to the gift list reported by the master of ceremonies at all. Chen Dequan's identity is there, and with the support of the current emperor, I believe that the gifts received must be first-class treasures. There are so many rare treasures that are not hers, and there is only envy, jealousy and hatred when she hears it. It is better to keep your ears open and not to hear.

When I peek at the energy. Su Wen suddenly felt a wave of unkind gaze. She wanted to ignore it. But that gaze is too strong to ignore.

Annoyed, Su Wen immediately looked back in the direction where his gaze came. Who the hell is so annoying. I don't know how to converge on such an occasion? She looked up, and the first thing she saw was Princess Hele with a face full of contempt and disdain. Seeing that the owner of that unkind gaze was Princess Hele, she immediately showed a sudden expression.

On this occasion, he dared to look at others so unscrupulously, except for this royal princess, I am afraid that there was no second person present who dared to be so arrogant.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, Su Wen still didn't say anything. She is a royal princess, and she naturally has arrogant capital, so it's better not to provoke her. This kind of princess with power and no brains is the most annoying, and she is often used as a gunman, but she doesn't know it. If she accidentally provokes this broom star, she will definitely have countless follow-up troubles in the future.

In his heart, he pondered so much, but Su Wen forgot a little. In Princess Hele's heart, she had completely offended her before, and she didn't even have a little room to maneuver.

Seeing Su Wen coming over, the look in Princess Hele's eyes became more and more unkind, and she even put on a thick hostility. In addition to the change in her eyes, the expression on her face also became more and more contemptuous and disdainful, as if Su Wen was so contemptible. Of course, in the heart of Princess Hele, who is consciously high, Su Wen is indeed a person who is not worth looking at.

It's a pity that Princess Hele herself didn't realize that she was carefully looking at Su Wen with her straight eyes at this time. She not only looked at it with her eyes, but also provoked it, trying to have a bad psychological impact on Su Wen.

In the face of Princess Hele's eye attack, Su Wen didn't take it seriously in his heart. From the past life to this life, she has met more masters. As far as Princess Hele cultivates, it's really not enough to see in front of her. Mo said that she just cast a look, even if she stared out her eyeballs, she didn't want to have the slightest impact on her.

Seeing Su Wen's disapproving look, Princess Hele only felt discouraged in her heart. She felt that her eyes were already very sharp, and it didn't have the slightest effect on Su Wen, which was really annoying.

At this time, the master of ceremonies who read out the gift list happened to read the gift of Princess Hele. In order to please the emperor's father, she took out her favorite pair of night pearls. This was her mother's concubine Xian's dowry back then, and there were two pairs in total. If it weren't for the emperor's father's favor, she wouldn't have given such a heavy birthday gift.

For Chen Dequan, Princess Hele looks down on him from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, Chen Dequan is obviously a eunuch, but he has to dance and write, pretending to be a celebrity, which is really hypocritical.

grew up in the palace since childhood, and Princess Hele has seen not a thousand eunuchs, but eight hundred. Which of those eunuchs was not respectful to her, and they didn't even dare to look at her. In her opinion, those eunuchs are the standard eunuchs. No matter how powerful they are, they will always be slaves in front of her who can command at will.

For an alternative eunuch like Chen Dequan, Princess Hele is extremely disgusted. Since her chronicle, Chen Dequan has never said a word of flattery to her, and his words and deeds are not at all like a eunuch in the palace.

If you don't take the initiative to please yourself, that's okay. The most unbearable thing for Princess Hele is that she is obviously a princess of a country, but she still has to be polite and polite to Chen Dequan, a eunuch. She once inadvertently offended Chen Dequan once, but in the end she was severely punished by the emperor's father and confined in the royal temple for three months.

New hatred and old hatred are added together, and Princess Hele is almost going to hate Chen Dequan to death. Although she hated it, she couldn't really do anything to Chen Dequan, but she had to find a way to please this dead eunuch against her will.

As the saying goes, there is no end to it. Just when Princess Hele was at her most desperate, she heard the news from her mother, Concubine Xian, that her brother King Qin wanted to fight for the throne. As soon as she heard the news, she immediately agreed. As long as his own brother becomes the next emperor, she can't dispose of Chen Dequan, a eunuch who has no master, at will.

In order to help her brother win the heir, Princess Hele began to find a way to please the emperor's father under the instruction of Concubine Xian. If she wants to make the emperor's father happy, of course she has to show her respect for Chen Dequan against her will, so she has a birthday gift for a pair of night pearls.

Hearing the master of ceremonies read the gift he had given, Princess Hele's eyes immediately became thick with provocation when she looked at Su Wen, and at the same time, there was a hint of mockery that could not be concealed. She knew that Su Wen was only from a well-off family, and she would definitely not be able to come up with a decent gift. In the previous confrontation, she really didn't take any advantage, but this birthday competition Su Wen was bound to lose.

Looking at the smile on Su Wen's face not far away, a vicious thought rose in Princess Hele's heart. After reading the gift list later, she immediately sent people to publicize it among the guests, comparing the gifts that Su Wen couldn't put on the table with her own night pearl.

There is no doubt that she will definitely win this gift battle. Her night pearl is a rare treasure in a century, and it can kill almost all the gifts on the scene in seconds. No matter what birthday gift Su Wen comes up with, it can't be more valuable than her night pearl. In this way, she could laugh at how ridiculous Chen Dequan's kindness to Su Wen was.

Thinking of this, Princess Hele's heart swelled with excitement on the spot. Her ridicule will definitely cause Chen Dequan's dissatisfaction with Su Wen, and in the end, Su Wen will become a joke in the entire circle of nobles in the capital.

What kind of talented woman, what kind of miracle doctor? When that time comes, who will remember the aura that was once blessed on Su Wen's body? No, others will forget, but she won't. Cousin Bingqing once said that when a person suffers defeat, all the glory of the past will turn into ridicule of the moment.

At that time, she must bring up the name of Su Wen's talented woman and miracle doctor again. There is a comparison of the previous glory, and I believe that Su Wen will definitely suffer more pain in his heart at that time.

After making up her mind, Princess Hele handed over to the palace maid beside her to remember the gift of Su Wen. Su Wen's status is lower than her, and the gifts are definitely behind her. If she really listened to them one by one, she would definitely be annoyed. Where would she have the patience to do such a simple and boring task?

After a while, the list of gifts was finally read out. After being bored for a long time, Princess Hele finally got up to twelve points at this time, and turned her head to ask the palace maid around her about Su Wen's gift. god

Faced with her master's inquiry, the palace maid immediately replied 1510: "When I returned to His Royal Highness, the slave maid listened carefully all the time, and in the end I didn't hear Miss Hua's name, let alone a gift." According to the slave's opinion, Miss Hua did not prepare a special gift for Mr. Chen this time. ”

Hearing this, Princess Hele's eyes immediately widened in surprise. Su Wen didn't even give a gift at all, which was a result she didn't expect anyway.

In her opinion, Chen Dequan is different from other juniors. In any case, Su Wen should give a gift. (To be continued......)
