Isn't it fair?

Is it really unfair?

Qing Ling remembered that day on the boat in the water of Fuyu, Luo Yao's ink eyebrows and lips reflected the blue cloudless clear sky behind him, a touch of clarity between the enchanting, cleansing away the worldly dust, and asked her condescendingly: "Do you admit it?" You are not fair to me. ”

Qing Ling's mind was in chaos, and he hesitated to open his mouth to argue, but he was a little speechless.

She thought that between the entanglements of interests, no one had the responsibility to be fair to anyone, and there was no way to say that the matter of friendship would inevitably be exactly the same, but Ning Yan's words and all kinds of past events in the past still made her heart crack open a hole that was sharpened a little cold.

When she returned to the house, she was a little uneasy, and she was locked in the room for several days in a row, and never went out again.

Qiu Zhi followed Qing Ling's previous instructions and arranged a congratulatory gift to congratulate Mu Chen and Mu's betrothed, and led her subordinates to the house for her to see. Qing Ling looked at the dazzling array in the gift box, and the shadow bead that inexplicably burrowed into his clothes appeared in his mind, and his mind became more and more messy.

The matter of arranging a birthday celebration for Luo Yao finally fell on Ning Yan.

Because this year is different from the past, first Qingling married into the Hou Mansion, and then some acquaintances from Lingxiao City came to the Haiphong garrison, and the operation was too inconvenient and too brief, Ning Yan ordered someone to clean up Baili's house on Qifu Street, arrange a banquet and other matters, and send out invitations one by one, planning to make a birthday banquet for his brother.

Coincidentally, Chun Yuyan's eldest brother Chun Yujue recently came to Pingfeng City with his newlywed wife Fang Shanxia, so he naturally followed his second brother to celebrate his birthday and go to the banquet.

Ningyan handles all aspects of the affairs inside and outside the Hou Mansion, and even if there is a temporary change, it is not affected at all and can cope with it freely. However, the other uninvited guests who appeared on the day of the birthday banquet made her feel a little tricky......

Baili's house on Qifu Street is adjacent to the West Sea, and the west of the garden leads directly to a quiet bay, delineating a unique seaside garden, with metasequoia flowers and vines, and boats that can go out to sea at any time to sail outside.

Ning Yan set up the banquet in the garden, and the table and other things were placed on the ground, and the pattern and the scenery in the garden echoed each other, all of which were the same elegant and natural. As the evening approaches and the light dims, waiters rush in, light various lanterns hanging from the trees, and serve food and drink. There are also people who lead the guests who came with invitations, one by one, to sit down, talk and laugh, everything is orderly, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

As the owner, the two brothers and sisters of the Baili family have already entered the park early. And Qingling, who should be regarded as half of the master, has not appeared for a long time.

Ning Yan saw that the guests were gradually coming, but there was still no Qing Ling, and he was about to tell Nianhong to go back to the Hou Mansion to find out, but he saw Mo Ninghao leading two people, and slowly came under the guidance of the waiter.

Ning Yan saw the person clearly, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, exchanged a look with Luo Yao beside him, and greeted him.

Ning Hao was wearing a blue brocade robe, with a heroic posture and a dignified demeanor, and greeted the Baili brothers and sisters: "Shizi, Miss Baili." ”

Mu Han, the prince of Chaoyan who stepped forward behind him, was wearing a pink robe with silver silk flowing cloud patterns, which further accentuated his face like white jade and his eyes like peach blossoms. He also greeted Luo Yao and Ning Yan with a calm manner, and said: "I made an appointment with Ning Hao early in the morning to visit him in Daze, but it was a coincidence that he caught up with the birthday of the son. ”

Mu Han has always been arrogant, and he loves to show the momentum of a royal child in front of people, so he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with his uninvited coming, and between his words, he has a little condescension to deliberately give Luo Yao face.

Ah Jing beside him, wearing an elegant ice blue scattered flower Ruyi cloud smoke skirt, holding a butterfly play double flower inlaid white jade in her hair, a pair of peach blossom eyes similar to her brother were slightly lowered, and there was a hint of tension in her indifferent expression, and after hurriedly seeing the salute, she picked up the silk fan in her hand and hid half of her face.

Before she came, she had been ruthless, determined to show the most noble and arrogant demeanor in front of everyone, but as soon as she saw Luo Yao's figure from a distance, the courage she had finally accumulated suddenly dispersed, leaving only a stomach full of apprehension and uneasiness.

After taking a seat, she peeked at Luo Yao under the cover of the silk fan, and saw that he always looked calm and smiled, not at all as if he had a trace of emotional fluctuations due to his appearance, and his heart was cold and bitter, sad and angry, but he could not let go of that little expectation.

In a short time, all the invited guests arrived.

The servants of the Baili clan held the congratulatory gifts given by the guests, and stepped forward one by one to let Luo Yao look at them. Because the people on the scene today are all acquaintances of the younger generation, and there is no restraint in getting along, every time I hear that the prince has harvested rare treasures, I will gather around to observe and taste, talk and laugh and admire.

Although Baili Yu said that the illness had not arrived, he ordered someone to send an extremely precious thousand leaf Zhilian to come, the petals and leaves were flickering, and the silver glow showed off, and it was said that the food had the effect of improving the cultivation of several times, which was really enviable.

The gift of Ning Yan is a pair of headbands and belts made by himself, the hoop body is made of exquisite white jade pieces and Tianjing silk threads, and the end of the belt is covered with two soft and shining sea pearls, which are exquisite and luxurious without losing elegance, attracting praise from the audience.

The rest of the guests' things are not unconventional, the keel lock sent by Mo Nanninghao, and the Xiluzi brewed by Chun Yuyan...... After all, they are all disciples of the gate valve who have seen the world, and they know that Daze Baili is rich, what valuable things have they never seen? Instead of sending some high-priced vulgar things, it is better to send some delicate things.

It was Ajing's turn to give a birthday gift, but it was a waterside bluebell flower that Daze could usually see.

Ah Jing stepped forward, took out the flower from the gift box, and said to Luo Yao: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to prepare a congratulatory gift, so I had to perform a small spell and borrow flowers as a gift." ”

As she spoke, she motioned for Luo Yao to stretch out her hand, put the waterside bluebell on the back of his hand, and with a gentle wave of the silk fan in her other hand, the flower seemed to melt and imprinted into the skin on the back of Luo Yao's hand, the color was bright and lifelike, like a flower blooming enchantingly on his hand.

In addition to the children of the family who are familiar with each other, most of the guests around are young generals stationed here, and they can't help but laugh when they see this scene, and the secret emperor is a girl's mind after all, and she actually casts such a spell, fortunately, the appearance of the prince of Baili is handsome, and a flower printed on the back of his hand does not look abrupt......

Fang Shanxia, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't understand Ah Jing's skills anymore, and knew that this so-called "little technique" actually took a lot of her effort, and she sighed and sorrow in her heart, but she could only silently echo and praise on her face.

Luo Yao raised the back of his hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Emperor Ji's technique is interesting. If I go out with this print, I'm afraid that all the girls in Windy City will come and ask the emperor for advice. ”

Seeing Luo Yao's kind attitude and appreciative words, Ah Jing couldn't help but feel a little relieved when she had been holding her heartstrings, and said with a light smile: "This is a method that I don't preach, and no one can ask for it." ”

After receiving the congratulatory gifts, the guests and hosts took their seats. Because Ah Jing met her cousin Fang Shanxia in a different place, she invited her to sit on the same case, and let Mu Han and Ning Hao sit at the same table.

Ning Yan sat down on the side seat next to the main seat, and seeing that the position next to Luo Yao was still empty, he couldn't help frowning, and was about to order someone to inquire about the news, but saw the waiter leading Qing Ling and hurriedly walked over from the corridor steps.

Qingling is wearing a purple dress tonight, the color and luster are all chic, the black hair is lightly pulled, the plain belt is slowly tied, the face is beautiful, and the action is fluttering.

Under the guidance of her attendants, she walked past the mats scattered in the garden and the glass lanterns hanging among the trees overhead, walked to the main seat, and sat down beside Luo Yao.

Several low-ranking officers who had just taken their seats saw Emperor Ji coming, and hurriedly got up to salute, but were stopped by Qing Ling raising his hand, "It turned out that I was rude and late, and the generals don't have to get up again." He glanced sideways at Luo Yao, and said with a smile: "All of you here are friends of the prince, and if you are invited to come today, you are the distinguished guests of my Dazehou Mansion, so you don't have to be formal." ”

When the officers heard this, they sat down and raised their glasses to say a few words of congratulations.

Chun Yuyan on the side raised his chin and stared at Qing Ling thoughtfully.

Ning Yan saw that the host and guests had arrived, so he instructed the maid to bring the musician and the singer and others into the garden, play music and dance among the shadows and lights of the trees, and start the night banquet.

Qing Ling leaned over, suppressed his voice and joked: "It turns out that you Daze organized the banquet, and you also relied on singing and dancing to help the fun, I thought there would be any different arrangements." ”

Ning Yan sat up straight and raised his glass to cover his lips, "It's only because most of the guests invited tonight are from the Central Plains." ”

Qing Ling's gaze wandered around, stopping at Mu Han for a moment, and seeing that he was also looking at him, he raised his head at him, "Oh, you're here too." ”

Before entering the mansion, Qing Ling learned from the attendants that Mu Han and Ah Jing had come to the City of the Wind. At this time, he was also psychologically prepared to meet at the banquet.

Mu Han remained silent and greeted coldly: "Sister Wang." ”

Qingling looked at Ah Jing and Fang Shanxia again, "Ah Jing, Sister Xia." ”

Jing raised her glass and drank as if she hadn't heard. Fang Shanxia smiled politely: "After a long time, the emperor is still used to living in Daze?" ”

The two chatted a few words. Qingling greeted each other with Chun Yujue next to him, and his attitude was always measured, generous, and very housewife-like.

Ning Yan has been paying attention to observing, only to feel that Qingling's speech and demeanor tonight are different from usual, and she can't figure out for a moment whether her words a few days ago finally worked, or if she had other plans in her heart, and after thinking about it, her eyes touched one place with Chun Yuyan, who was also inquiring in her eyes, and she lost her mind for a moment, and quickly moved away.

Luo Yao chatted with Mo Nanninghao beside him for a while, and expanded the topic very carefully, so that the low-level generals sitting a little farther away also had the opportunity to join in the discussion, expressing their opinions, and gradually became the main force of the conversation.

When everyone's attention shifted to the person who spoke, Luo Yao turned around, took the wine jug and poured wine for Qing Ling, while lowering his voice and teasing: "Senior sister is late tonight, could it be that she heard that Mu Han is here, and plans to secretly set up a killing situation, take his life, and throw his body in the West Sea?" ”

Qing Ling pursed the corners of her mouth and raised her eyes to look at Luo Yao's pair of glass eyes, but when she saw that her eyes were shining and revealing a touch of bewildering charm in the night lights, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She lowered her head and took the wine glass handed by Luo Yao, and when she lowered her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a lifelike waterside bluebell print on the back of his hand, and a faint reflection of the word "Jing" on a petal on the lower right.

Luo Yao handed the wine to Qing Ling, and the moment she lowered her head, his gaze quickly swept over her hair and dress again. Obviously, she took a lot of work to dress up tonight.

I had never seen her wear purple clothes before, but I didn't know that she would be lined with her jade neck and wrists, shining like the moon, which was particularly heartbeating. He pondered her intentions, and gradually gave birth to a trace of courage, and said softly: "Senior sister wears this purple ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Qing Ling raise his head and drink all the wine in the cup, put the cup on the table, and replied: "I came late tonight, and it has nothing to do with others, thanks to my bad memory, I almost forgot your birthday." ”
