Chapter 57: The Birthday Banquet
There was no one to take care of him in this Longchen country, and Wei Zheng went to the largest brothel in the city the next day and ordered a top card.
This card is also a bit strong, if she can't look down on the guests, she will not receive them. The mother in the brothel forced her many times, but she never gave in, which made her mother very helpless.
And this time, after looking at her guests, this top card actually took the initiative to go downstairs. This shows that she has taken a fancy to the guest in front of her.
Mom was very surprised that there really was someone she could fancy to it. Happy, he hurriedly pushed Wei Zheng into the top brand's room.
This brand is beautiful, and he speaks softly and softly, which is very good. It just so happened that the favored concubine that Wei Zheng was carrying by his side died, and he ransomed her back by the way.
After bringing this head card back to the inn, Wei Zheng found that this woman still had some cultivation, even stronger than the favorite concubine before him, and couldn't help but like it more and more.
Soon, His Majesty's birthday banquet arrived. Jiang Aotian had already prepared a birthday gift and took Jiang Luoan with him.
Jiang Luoan knew that there must be many noble children on this occasion, and people from the Xiuzhen family were also indispensable. Her cultivation is not low among the younger generation, but there must be many people who are much stronger than her, and it is better for her to be less in the limelight.
So when she was dressing up, she deliberately avoided those bells and whistles and dressed up much more elegantly. But it was too plain and not in harmony with the festive atmosphere of this birthday banquet, Jiang Luoan pondered for a long time, and finally chose a set of simple and generous accessories.
But her long face is inherently eye-catching. Even if you try to dress up as simple as possible, it overwhelms the limelight of everyone present. Even in the eyes of some women, she deliberately dressed up as a weak white flower and pretended to be pitiful.
The Luo family did not send anyone to come this time, but just asked the housekeeper to send a congratulatory gift. didn't send anyone over on such an important occasion, what the hell is the Luo family doing? For a while, there was a lot of discussion among the people present.
It wasn't until Wei Zheng entered and sat down that everyone's attention was on the second prince of this neighboring country.
The emperor's birthday banquet is about to start, and almost everyone has already arrived, but the obvious vacancy is still so dazzling that it is reserved for the emperor. Jiang Luoan turned his head to look at the position, it was Su Chenyu who had not yet arrived.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the birthday banquet was about to start, Su Chenyu was late.
As soon as he entered, he attracted everyone's attention.
Under the gaze of everyone, Su Chenyu walked to the front of the hall and knelt down on one knee unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, your son's birthday is late, it is really because of physical discomfort, and I ask the emperor to punish you." ”
The emperor naturally knew that he was deliberately dragging in his own mansion and stepping on the point here. But he can't say it clearly, on the contrary, he has to play the image of a father who loves his son, so he can only swallow this breath in his stomach.
He smiled, "Don't say that, it's still the body that matters." The birthday feast hasn't started yet, so it's not too late for you, so get up. ”
Before he finished his words, Su Chenyu quickly stood up from the ground, just in time for the emperor's tail to fall, "Thank you, father." ”
With that, he walked straight to the emperor's side and sat down in his seat.
The rest of the princes all sat in the lower position of Su Chenyu. In order to please the emperor, they all arrived early, for fear of being late. Some even came up almost an hour earlier.
Seeing Su Chenyu so unhurried, but his father still loved him so much, many princes were suddenly full of resentment in their hearts.
They were muttering quietly below, talking about the prince's impolite behavior today.
Su Chenyu heard it clearly, but the expression on his face didn't change. After the birthday banquet officially began, he was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Erchen wishes my father and the emperor blessings like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan." Therefore, I offer ten large pearls and one hundred small pearls of the East China Sea to wish my father a long life. ”
With that, he clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to present the prepared birthday gift.
As soon as the box was opened, everyone's eyes couldn't leave the night pearl inside.
Jiang Luoan felt a little funny, wasn't this the beads in the lamp used in his study. Although this gift is very expensive in the eyes of outsiders, for Su Chenyu, it is just a substitute for his kerosene lamp.
After seeing his birthday gift, Wei Zheng suddenly found that he couldn't hold his gift. is the same prince as him, and it is said that his birthday gift is one level lower, isn't it a shame for his country?
Thinking of this, he temporarily changed the gift and picked out a piece from his jade wrench that was about the same value as Su Chenyu.
His jade wrench is a small storage type magic weapon, which is also very convenient for storage, and he has always carried it with him.
After everyone present has finished offering their birthday gifts, the real birthday banquet officially begins.
I'm almost tired of watching ordinary singing and dancing, and I don't know who made a suggestion, in order to make the birthday banquet more interesting, let these children of the family have a talent competition on the spot.
The people who made the coax were not a big deal, and the emperor was happy to make everyone happy, and agreed to the proposal at the moment.
Jin Zhi'er of the Jin family is conceited and has excellent dancing skills and wants to perform in the finale, so she has been sitting still in the previous display. Seeing that everyone else was almost done, she slowly got up, "Your Majesty, I want to dance to cheer up." ”
At the same time, she had to find someone on the field to compete with her dancing skills. Jin Zhi'er's beautiful eyes turned, so many people in front of her had already played, and it seemed that only Jiang Luoan could compete with her.
was suddenly named, Jiang Luoan was taken aback. She didn't know how to dance at all, so how could she dance on such a solemn occasion?
She immediately refused, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the little girl's dancing skills are poor, it is really difficult to be elegant, and it can't be compared with Miss Jin, so don't be ugly." ”
Before the others could speak, Wei Zheng was the first to disagree, "It's not right for Miss Jiang to say that." Everyone else present tried according to the rules, and no one refused. This rule was agreed to by the emperor, how could Miss Jiang refuse casually? ”
He stood up and waved to the emperor, "Presumably the emperor has never seen Miss Jiang dancing." The girl's figure is so graceful, it would be a pity if she couldn't dance. ”
Wei Zheng's words made the emperor a little moved, "Miss Jiang doesn't have to be modest, I also want to see how your dancing skills are." ”
Su Chenyu, who was sitting next to the emperor, glared at Wei Zheng fiercely when he heard this, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body, and took out a pill from his arms and took it.
