Seeing the gifts prepared by his brothers, Sima Yue Junlang's face was flushed.

Li Feixue, who was sitting opposite, saw Sima Yue's strange appearance, and muttered in a low voice: "Idiot, you deserve it." ”

"Who do you say is a nerd?" The Protector Marquis, who had excellent ear skills, could hear the muttering of his daughter beside him, and couldn't help but look at her sideways, with a puzzled expression.

Li Feixue was stunned, and then denied it again and again: "No, my daughter didn't say anyone, my father heard it wrong." ”

"Really?" The Protector Hou stared at his daughter deeply for a moment, and then turned to look at Sima Yue on the opposite side and said, "Why hasn't King Yue stepped forward to offer a gift?" Is it because you didn't prepare a gift? ”

"He's ready!" Li Feixue's blurted out words came to an abrupt end when she saw the deep ink-like eyes cast by her father: "What my daughter means is that today is the emperor's birthday, and King Yue, as a prince, will naturally prepare gifts." ”

Seeing his daughter's obviously weak appearance in his eyes, the Protector sighed softly.

Since he was a child, Feixue has been more sensible and reasonable than Feishuang, and has the courage and courage to not lose to men, he has always had high hopes for Feixue, so although he has heard that his daughter and King Yue are a little close, he firmly believes that it is just a rumor.

Judging from Fei Xue's words and deeds just now, Fei Xue is afraid that he has a heart for King Yue, which is not a good thing.

"Feixue, have you forgotten my Li family's family mission?"

Li Feixue's expression froze when she heard this, and her father's words hit her heart like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, shaking her heart.

Remembering that since she was sensible, her father had said to her over and over again, almost engraved into her bones and blood, her face couldn't help but turn pale, glanced at Sima Yue opposite, bit her lip to hide the bitterness in her heart, Li Feixue said firmly: "Father rest assured, daughter will remember it for the rest of her life, and she will never forget it!" ”

"It's good that you haven't forgotten." A trace of pity and helplessness crossed the eyes of the protector: "Some things should be decided, otherwise they will be in chaos!" Got it? ”

Li Feixue nodded emphatically: "My daughter understands!" ”

Her father only has two daughters, her and her sister, and now that her sister has passed away, the family mission naturally falls on her shoulders, and she can't let the family's reputation be ruined in her hands.

"I'm sorry for you." The Protector sighed.

Why doesn't he want his daughter to marry a wishful husband and keep her husband and children safe and beautiful for a lifetime?

But the mission of the Li family can only be inherited by the daughter, so the daughter has to give up some seemingly extremely ordinary, but in fact unmatched daughter's thoughts, which is the honor of the Li family, and it is also a kind of helplessness.

On the other side, Sima Yue saw the puzzled eyes of everyone looking at him, his heart became more and more nervous, and there was even sweat oozing from the palms of his big hands on the gift box, and he raised his eyes to look at Li Feixue who couldn't see clearly with his head down, and couldn't help but feel annoyed that he shouldn't have listened to her and prepared gifts early.

This is all to blame himself, during this period of time, he was only immersed in the excitement of adding to Lin Bingquan's blockage, and he forgot to prepare a birthday gift for his father.

A few days ago, Li Feixue asked him if he had prepared a gift, he thought that anyway, there were all kinds of antiques and treasures in the fifth brother's Jinyu Zhai, and when the time came, he would pick the best one as a gift for his father, so he casually said that he was ready, and he didn't let the fifth brother pay special attention to it.

This morning, he didn't inform the fifth brother and went to Jinyuzhai to choose the best treasures for his birthday, but he didn't expect the gifts of his brothers to be more expensive than the other, and his gifts couldn't be taken out.

Seeing that Sima Yue didn't come forward to congratulate him for a long time, and everyone looked here, Sima Qi couldn't help but lower his voice and reminded: "Eighth brother, it's time for you to give a gift." ”

"Fifth brother, I ......" Sima Yue was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, and his face turned red.

In fact, on his father's birthday in previous years, he also chose a gift from the fifth brother's Jinyuzhai to give to his father, and he never felt that there was anything wrong.

It's just that the situation is a little different this year, and he doesn't know what Lu Dao is because he doesn't want to lose face in front of Li Feixue, which makes Li Feixue think that he can't even do this little thing, but now he is still embarrassed, which makes him how can he hold his head up in front of Li Feixue in the future?

As if guessing Sima Yue's thoughts, the corners of Sima Rui's lips raised slightly, and a light smile seemed to be nothing: "Although the eighth brother goes to offer gifts, everything has me and the fifth brother." ”

Having said that, Sima Yue was still hesitant and nervous, but when he saw the eyes that everyone seemed to be accustomed to, especially when he saw the smug and mocking look on Sima Chun's face, he suddenly mixed with shame and indignation, got up and walked to the middle and knelt on the ground and said: "Erchen wishes my father a long life, and God bless me to be the country of Jin forever!" ”

After speaking, he opened the brocade box in his hand, and a crystal clear jade Ruyi came into everyone's eyes, and everyone looked like this.

"Father's wisdom and sage, this year not only resolved the crisis in the north, but also quickly quelled the civil strife, it should be celebrated, how can the eighth brother just choose a gift from the fifth brother's Jinyuzhai as a birthday gift for his father?" Glancing at Sima Rui and Sima Qi, Sima Chun said meaningfully: "The third brother and the fifth brother have always been very close to the eighth brother, knowing that the eighth brother has always been careless, why don't they remind the eighth brother or prepare a gift for the eighth brother?"

Look at the birthday gift of the third brother is the talisman treasure of the ancient god of war, the birthday gift of the fifth brother is a pure gold longevity immortal who has taken a lot of thought, but the birthday gift of the eighth brother is an ordinary jade Ruyi, which has to make people wonder if the third brother and the fifth brother deliberately want to see the eighth brother make a fool of himself? Or is the third brother and the fifth brother not as brotherly as they seem? ”

When the words fell, except for Emperor Huiwen and Qingyun, Mo Xuan and the envoys of other countries, everyone's faces changed.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the nine princesses, several princes did not fight each other for the throne like the princes of other countries.

It's just that King Yue can be described as an outlier among the princes, he likes martial arts and hates literature since he was a child, and he wants to become a general, but fortunately, he has a bold and upright temperament, but he is not annoying, and King Yue has been close to King Rui and King Qi since he was a child.

But even so, King Chun shouldn't taunt King Yue on such an occasion and instigate the relationship between the three princes, isn't this self-damaging to the royal family?

But if you think about it carefully, what King Chun said seems to have some truth, after all, the birthday gifts prepared by King Rui and King Qi are extraordinary, and even they are surprised and shocked, why don't the two princes help King Yue?

The concubine didn't expect her son to suddenly say such a thing, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she closed her mouth after seeing Emperor Huiwen's sweeping eyes, and her beautiful eyes stared at her son angrily.

I hope that my son can see the current situation clearly, and stop making the emperor unhappy or even angry, then they will give up their efforts.

Zhilan looked at Sima Chun, and Xiumei's face contained undisguised worry.

Although her brother hurt Sister Yun, after all, he is her own brother who is related by blood, and he has been good to her since she was a child, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her brother.

When Lin Bingquan resisted, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

And Lin Han tasted the wine elegantly, but the corner of his eye always paid attention to Zhilan, seeing the worry between her eyebrows and eyes, the dark pupils crossed the cold glow, and there was a faint trace of pity.

"You don't sow discord here!" What Sima Yue couldn't tolerate the most was that someone slandered his father, Jiu'er and the two elder brothers, so after listening to Sima Chun's words, he was immediately furious: "Giving gifts to my father is the king's own business, and it has nothing to do with the third and fifth brothers, you don't want to provoke our relationship!" ”

Sima Chun didn't notice the admonishing eyes of the concubine falling on him at all, but Zhang Lianwu and Lin Yiwei saw it clearly, but unfortunately one turned a blind eye and pretended to be blind, and the other looked calm and didn't care about it.

Hearing Sima Yue's rebuttal, Sima Chun's heart swelled with monstrous resentment, and Qingjun had a sense of concern and grievance on his face: "This king is also holding grievances for the eighth brother, saving the eighth brother from suffering a loss and not knowing it, how can the eighth brother misunderstand this king's kindness?" ”

"Whether the king suffers or not is the king's business, and you don't need to be pretending to be kind!" Sima Yue said disdainfully.

"The eighth brother cares about the love of brotherhood, but unfortunately some people may not be like this, otherwise they would not have watched the eighth brother make a fool of himself in public because of this birthday gift, did the eighth brother say yes?"

Seeing that Sima Yue still maintained Sima Rui and Sima Qi without getting this share, Sima Chun continued to provoke, completely ignoring Emperor Huiwen's increasingly dark eyes, and also not seeing the concubine's face so black that she could almost wring out water.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, he stared at Sima Chun, who was ill-intentioned, and his face was as quiet as a pool.

Jade Wyvern!

It's a pity that this palace will let you know that as long as there is this palace, your wolf ambition will eventually be wishful thinking!

Seeing everyone's different expressions, and Li Feixue casually turned the precious wine glass in her hand, her eyes were as deep as the sea, making it difficult to see the contents clearly, and the corners of her lips slightly raised a smile that seemed to be mocking and arrogant, Sima Yue suddenly felt embarrassed, drooped his head and did not speak, and his heart was inexplicably flustered and sour.

Sima Chun looked at Sima Yue, who was dejected, and his eyes flashed with pride and joy.

The hand that turned the wine glass was stunned, Li Feixue glanced at Sima Chun's deep eyes, a trace of anger and killing intent was fleeting, and then looked at Sima Yue, whose face was flushed and silent, with a trace of pity in his heart, and a wisp of irritability that hated iron but not steel.

This nerd, who never admits defeat when he competes with her on weekdays, why did he become dumb at the critical moment?

Looking at Sima Yue, who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, Sima Qi's eyes sank, and he glared fiercely at Sima Chun, who was expressionless, and was just about to get up to defend the eighth brother, but he never wanted to be pulled by Sima Rui next to him in time, so he looked at him in confusion.

Shaking his head almost invisibly, Sima Rui's lips moved slightly before he had time to say anything, but he heard a voice like a warbler's cry: "Father, in fact, the starling brother is not preparing this birthday gift!" ”
