After the polite cutscene, it was time to send a congratulatory gift, and the first thing to stand up was Beiyang's strong wind.

"Beiyang Lifeng specially brings a congratulatory gift, wishing His Majesty Fengyuan a long life." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a guard from Beiyang stepped forward carrying a box of things.

"Your Majesty, this is a black pearl from the East China Sea, the same size and all round and full, and the necklace made of it is a rare treasure; In addition, I heard that the emperor loved Mr. Zhang Yong's characters and Mr. Lin Qian's paintings, so he specially found a Wing Chun picture made by the two of them to present. ”

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, this Beiyang is really generous, Mr. Zhang Yong and Mr. Lin Qian are both characters more than a hundred years ago, and the age difference is quite large, I have never heard of any friendship between the two, let alone a painting made by the two of them, I didn't expect that Beiyang can find something that is unheard of in this world? What's more, His Majesty really likes these two people, and this is exactly the right heart.

Sure enough, Feng Lie's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and his face showed some joy, "Oh? Are you telling the truth? I'm unheard of. ”

Li Feng smiled slightly, "How dare you deceive Your Majesty?" This is indeed the true work of the two people. ”

Feng Lie laughed, "Okay, Beiyang has a heart, hurry up and present it for me to see." ”

Tang Xi knew that Beiyang had indeed chosen the right thing at this moment, Feng Lie really preferred this, looking at Feng Lie's stupid appearance of holding the painting and not putting it down, Tang Xi felt a little nostalgic in his heart, how long had he not seen him show such a look?

Feng Lie was still looking at the painting, Li Linglong got up again, "Your Majesty, what my brother offered just now was Beiyang's heart, and Linglong herself also prepared a gift, with her brother Zhuyu in front, I hope the emperor will not dislike it." ”

Feng Lie reluctantly took his gaze back from the painting, and then asked the palace people to put it away, and then looked at Li Linglong, "Princess Sanssouci has a heart, I naturally won't dislike it." ”

Li Linglong waved her hand, and the person next to her presented a brocade box, and she smiled, "This is an inkstone made of pine stone, and the appearance is not very special, but it ...... This was used by Mr. Zhang Yong back then. ”

Sure enough, Feng Lie was still not interested at the beginning, but when he heard that it was used by Mr. Zhang Yong, he immediately became interested, "Oh? Grab it and take a look. ”

After reading it, Feng Lie looked at Li Linglong's gaze much gentler, "Princess Sanssouci has a heart, I like this gift very much." ”

Tang Xi saw it in her eyes, thinking in her heart that this Beiyang was really prepared, and she was a little shaken when she looked sincere, could it be that Beiyang was sincerely showing her favor this time? But thinking about Li Linglong's performance that day, she couldn't help but shake her head, she could see what kind of person Li Linglong was under the temptation that day, if Beiyang just wanted to ask for peace, Li Linglong should disdain to fight with her, and even more disdainful to please Fu Jinglan.

After Feng Lie finished praising Beiyang, it was the turn of the big cadre who sat under Beiyang, Yan Ning got up and said a word of congratulations, and then asked people to present the gifts, "Your Majesty, the gifts presented by the big cadres this time are, a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, the relics left by the Taoist monks, and the last thing is the Cangxue Sword that Feng Yuan has been looking for for many years. ”

Although the first two things are rare, they seem a little mediocre after Beiyang, because everyone has no big expressions, until the last one is said, everyone immediately gasped in shock, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't be presumptuous on this occasion, these ministers probably couldn't help but pounce over to see if it was true.

Even Feng Lie's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and his face was quite solemn and said, "Cangxue Sword? Present it and take a look. ”

Gonggong Li opened the gift box and presented it to Feng Lie, Feng Lie's eyes moved, and then he picked up the Cangxue Sword with a little excitement, and after a few looks, he suddenly stood up, "It's really the Cangxue Sword!" Heaven forbid! The Cangxue Sword is finally back in the hands of my Feng Yuan! ”

Not only Feng Lie was excited, but even the ministers below bowed excitedly, "God have mercy!" ”

Looking at the excited appearance of everyone in the field, Li Linglong's face sank slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Tang Xi, Tang Xi felt her gaze, looked sideways slightly, raised her eyebrows provocatively, her eyes were full of pride, and the angry Li Linglong's face darkened a little, and immediately turned her head and stopped looking at her.

After teasing Li Linglong, the depression in Tang Xi's heart before finally dissipated a little, and Feng Lie had already recovered from the excitement at this time, and praised Yan Ning well.

After Yan Ning sat down, Tang Xi stood up again, "Your Majesty, I also have a gift for you." ”

Feng Lie was originally in a good mood, but after seeing Tang Xi stand up, he immediately recalled the events of that day, and frowned slightly, but in the end, Yan Ning had just presented a very important gift to Feng Yuan, no matter what he said, he couldn't show Tang Xi's face.

Then Qingshuang presented the gift to Gonggong Li under Tang Xi's instructions, and the smile on Tang Xi's face was quite complacent, "Your Majesty, the gift given by my brother is too precious, and any treasures I present will be a little tasteless, but I thought that the most important thing in giving gifts should be the heart, so I painted a picture for Your Majesty." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gonggong Li opened the gift box and showed the painting to the emperor and everyone, and suddenly, the large pear blossom fell into Feng Lie's eyes, and then his brows tightened instantly, and he almost shot the case directly, but in the end, he controlled the tyrannical emotions in his heart because of today's occasion.

Gonggong Li is the most observant of words and feelings, and as soon as he noticed that Feng Lie's eyes were wrong, he immediately put away the painting in his hand.

But Tang Xi continued rather without a smile, "Your Majesty, I see that spring is now strong, and it is a good season for pear blossoms to bloom, and I noticed that there seems to be no pear trees in the palace, so I dared to paint such a beautiful scenery." ”

Feng Lie took a lot of effort to hold back the tyrannical emotions in his heart and didn't tear up the painting on the spot, but the emotions on his face that instantly turned cold were in everyone's eyes, and they couldn't help but murmur to themselves in their hearts, it was fine just now, what happened all of a sudden?

"Princess Xi has a heart." Feng Lie only said a perfunctory sentence in such a cold voice, and then there was no more follow-up, this is still the same gift that I didn't let me take a closer look at today.

Although normally speaking, the emperor will not look at everything carefully, but with the comparison of the first three people, Tang Xi is especially embarrassed.

Originally, the matter should have ended here, but Tang Xi felt that he hadn't died enough, so he didn't sit down immediately, but bit his lip a little aggrieved, "Does the emperor not like my gift?" ”

Feng Lie felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and when he heard her question on the spot, he immediately looked at her with sharp eyes, and that look was almost like cutting her with a thousand knives!

Tang Xi was secretly happy in her heart, but the expression on her face was even more aggrieved, and she was indifferent to Yan Ning's anxiously pulling her sleeve's hand, still standing stubbornly.

Then Yan Ning saw that something was wrong, so she couldn't care about anything else, and immediately got up and confessed, "The emperor forgives the sin, my sister was spoiled by her father and didn't understand the rules, so the emperor doesn't have to pay attention to her." ”

However, Feng Lie didn't speak, just when everyone thought that this matter couldn't be good, Feng Lie's eyes looking at Tang Xi suddenly became complicated, this strange look lasted for a while, and he lowered his eyes, and his voice was not as cold as just now, "I don't have a gift that I don't like you, sit down." ”

“……”

Tang Xi looked confused, what is the situation? Just now, the expression on her face was obviously about to kill her, why did it suddenly change? This tone ...... How did she think she was coaxing her?

However, Tang Xi also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, and he couldn't explain it if he continued to make trouble, so he couldn't care about anything else, so he could only go down the steps, "It's good if the emperor likes it...... It was me who took the liberty of it. ”

Not only Tang Xi is confused, but everyone else is even more confused, the emperor is so moody? I thought the situation was a big deal, but the result was ...... Why do you think this is a flirting between two people?

Only Huo Jinyan didn't have a look of surprise on his face, but his eyes looked at Feng Lie with cold and vigilant eyes, even he had an inexplicable familiar feeling when he faced Tang Xi, not to mention Feng Lie, a person who has been with her for so many years, isn't it the best proof that he insisted on wanting Tang Xi at the beginning?

Now, although he was temporarily confused by some of Tang Xi's deliberate appearances, he would inevitably feel familiar in the face of some of Tang Xi's behaviors...... Putting Tang Xi in front of him was really too dangerous.

And Feng Lie was indeed surging with all kinds of emotions in her heart at this time, obviously disgusted with her, but just now when she showed that kind of aggrieved and stubborn expression, when she used her smart eyes to show a puppy-like pitiful demeanor, a certain place in her heart instantly softened, and almost subconsciously explained and comforted her.

Obviously, whether it is appearance, demeanor or personality, Fu Jinglan is more similar to Feng Xi, but when he was facing Fu Jinglan, he never had a moment when he was in a trance like just now, almost overlapping Feng Xi with the person in front of him.

This strange feeling lasted until everyone gave him gifts, and he still hadn't fully recovered his senses.

And Tang Xi didn't realize it yet, but when Feng Lie grew up after becoming the emperor, he also knew that he had to endure it, and he felt a little relieved.

Li Linglong beside her originally thought that she was going to make a big ugly appearance today, and she was waiting to see a good show, but who would have thought that Feng Lie's attitude suddenly changed, as if the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly cleared up, it was unbelievable.

She couldn't help but glance at Tang Xi, this glance was not as contemptuous as before, but with deep jealousy, if Feng Lie's transformation just now was not an accident, then it can only be said that Tang Xi's ability to control people's hearts is too strong...... She can't help but be afraid of such a person.

The gifts given by the people after that didn't have any big twists and turns, Tang Xi was bored and couldn't help but peek at Huo Jinyan opposite, and then saw that he was still sticky with Mu Yao...... Suddenly angry, she snatched the candied fruit plate in front of Yan Ning, then picked one up and threw it in her mouth and chewed it fiercely.

Yan Ning, "......" So you're really not a pig?

He looked at the people around him and didn't pay attention to this, and couldn't help but lean towards Tang Xi, "What happened to you just now?" Haven't you always known how to weigh the pros and cons, why were you so impulsive just now? ”

Tang Xi bit the candied fruit and snorted, "I worked hard for that painting, he didn't like it, can I not be angry, just like that." ”

Yan Ning glanced at her suspiciously, "Really? But why does he think that Tang Xi is not quite right today?

Tang Xi rolled his eyelids, "Really, when no one is impulsive, the emperor didn't pursue it anyway, what are you afraid of." ”

Yan Ning pursed his lips and wanted to say something more, but suddenly a chill surged up, like ...... Just like the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake, he couldn't help but shiver when he was cold, but when he looked around, he didn't notice anything abnormal, he could only muttered in his heart, and then sat up straight and didn't talk to Tang Xi again.

In the distance, someone who even wanted to eat someone's brother's vinegar saw Yan Ning sit up straight, and the gloom on his face finally dissipated a little, well, even his brother couldn't get so close!

After the gift was delivered, the banquet was held, and Tang Xi was still a little reluctant when the palace people removed the melon and fruit candied fruit on the table, but after seeing the wine and food served, the little reluctance was thrown out of the clouds. Only Du Kang.

She was in the mood to drink some wine at this time, thinking like this, she directly took the wine glass and poured a glass, and then said to Qi Yufeng, "There was no wine just now, so you replaced the wine with tea, and now the wine is up, let's have a drink, right?" ”

Qi Yufeng smiled and said, "I didn't expect Princess Xi to be so bold, so naturally she was disrespectful." ”

The two of them drank a glass very simply, a glass of wine in their stomachs, and their stomachs were suddenly warm, and they didn't know if it was a psychological effect, in short, Tang Xi only felt that his mood was instantly better, so he didn't stop toasting Yan Ning for a moment, Yan Ning couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she saw that she was drinking so happily, remembering that she had just eaten candied fruit, and her heart was inexplicably worried.

Thinking about it, after Yan Ning finished drinking with her, she silently hid her wine jug under the table.

Tang Xi noticed his movements and couldn't help but pout, "What are you hiding, who is still robbing you?" "This is a palace banquet, even if Tang Xi is depressed, he still has a score, and he will never let himself get drunk.

Just you, you're going to rob me! Yan Ning silently complained in her heart, but she didn't have the same knowledge as Tang Xi.

Then Tang Xi turned his head and said to Li Linglong, "Princess Worry-free, do you want to have a drink?" ”

Li Linglong glanced at her, picked up the wine glass and said coldly, "Don't be complacent, it is unknown who will win and who will lose." ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, and drank the wine in the cup indifferently, "I'll wait." ”

Li Linglong snorted and drank the glass of wine arrogantly, and then ignored her.

On the other side, Li Feng noticed the movement of the two of them, and looked at Tang Xi with great interest, "I have admired the name of Princess Xi for a long time, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”

Tang Xi squinted at the strong wind, "What? Do you want to give your sister a head? ”

Li Feng smiled, "You think too much, I have no intention of participating in the fight between the two of you." As he spoke, he picked up his glass and said, "Can you have a drink?" ”

Tang Xi didn't refuse, picked up the wine glass and dried it up, Yan Ning felt a faint pain in his stomach when he watched from the sidelines.

Li Feng's eyes were even more interested, and his tone was quite ambiguous, "I heard that Princess Xi is here to find a wishful husband, I don't know if I can get into the eyes of Princess Xi?" ”

Tang Xi snorted casually, "I can't afford to climb the prince of Beiyang." ”

"Can't climb high? Heh......" He laughed and lowered his voice, "You dare to climb high as the emperor of Fengyuan, I am just an idle prince, but you say that you can't climb high?" ”

Listening to Li Feng's meaningful words, Tang Xi narrowed his eyes, "The prince still doesn't want to misinterpret my meaning, I have no friendship with Beiyang, so it's better not to misunderstand people." ”

After speaking, Tang Xi turned his head and looked like he didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and Li Feng also chuckled and didn't speak again.

Li Linglong frowned and looked at Li Feng, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" Don't do things that aren't necessary. ”

Li Feng glanced at Li Linglong casually, "Don't you think she's in the way?" Wouldn't it be nice that I took her for you? ”

"Don't mess around, make trouble at will at this time, Feng Lie won't trust me anymore."

Li Feng's eyes looked at Tang Xi, and he pointed out, "What if...... Is she taking the initiative? ”

Li Linglong's heart moved, and after confirming what Li Feng meant, she lowered her head thoughtfully and didn't speak again.

After drinking a few glasses of wine in a row, Tang Xi didn't dare to drink anymore, after thinking about it, she whispered to Yan Ning, "I'm a little dizzy, go out and blow the wind." ”

Yan Ning glanced at her speechlessly, "What can you do if you can't drink?" Do you want me to come with you? ”

Tang Xi shook his head, "No need, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

When Yan Ning heard her say this, she didn't force it anymore, but said, "Then you be careful, don't make trouble." ”

Tang Xi took Qingshuang outside, it was only afternoon, and the sun was bright, but there was also a breeze blowing gently, which was much better than in the house.

"Let's go over there." Tang Xi pointed to the peach forest not far away and said.

At this time, the peach blossoms are also blooming, and this peach forest is also pleasing to the eye, although I have seen more before, but this time again, it has a different taste, thinking like this, Tang Xi couldn't help but go deeper.

After walking a short distance, he saw the stone table, Tang Xi's head was still a little groggy, so he sat down directly on the stone bench, "Qingshuang, I'm so thirsty, go give me those waters." ”

Qingshuang said helplessly, "If you drink too much wine, you will naturally be thirsty, and it is better for the princess to drink less if she can't drink it." ”

Tang Xi said a little impatiently, "I know, I know, one or two of you will talk about me, why don't you go get me water quickly?" ”

Qingshuang looked around a little uneasily, and after confirming that there was no one else, she said, "That princess, you are honestly waiting here, don't run around!" ”

"I know, I know, why are you so verbose, I'm not a child!" Tang Xi pouted dissatisfiedly.

Qingshuang had no choice but to leave in a hurry to help her get water.

Tang Xi drank wine, and now she saw the wind again, her head became more and more dizzy, she couldn't help shaking her head, and muttered, "I didn't drink so much before...... After finishing speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly froze, ...... before. That was before! Feng Xi's alcohol consumption is indeed not bad, but she has changed her body at this time! After becoming Tang Xi, she really hasn't drunk much, because she doesn't know what kind of alcohol she has, but she didn't expect it to be so bad!

She lay on the stone table with some chagrin, and made a mistake! What a mistake! It's all to blame Huo Jinyan!

After successfully pushing the pot on Huo Jinyan's body, Tang Xi felt a lot more comfortable, but her head became more and more dizzy, and suddenly she heard footsteps, so she still lay on the stone table, stretched out a hand and said, "Qingshuang, you are so fast, give me water, you are dying of thirst!" ”

The footsteps stopped in front of her, and then a glass of water was placed in her hand, and she raised her head with great difficulty to drink the water, and then felt a little more comfortable, and then her eyes were fixed on the man standing in front of her, and since she was sitting, the man was standing, so the first thing she saw was his waist.

She couldn't help frowning, no, she remembered the light blue clothes that Qingshuang was wearing today, but what she was looking at was a gray gown, this wasn't Qingshuang? She remembered the water she had just drunk, could it be poisoned? She was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly raised her head to see who this person was, and then she met a pair of light brown eyes.

“…… Huo Jinyan? She looked at it for a while before she finally identified the man.

Huo Jinyan let out a faint "um", "Does your head hurt?" ”

“…… It's okay, it's just a little dizzy. Tang Xi replied very obediently.

Huo Jinyan's eyes moved slightly, and his tone seemed to have a hint of helplessness, "Who made you drink so much wine?" But...... You look even more drunk and cute. ”

Tang Xi sniffed, quite pitiful, "Is Mu Yao cute?" ”

In a word, Huo Jinyan's eyes deepened instantly, and he looked at her without saying a word.

I had already thought about not coming to her again until that thing was done, so that she would not try to escape by any means, and she would not hurt him with such words again, after all, she would be his in the end, so why should he rush at this time?

When he met Mu Yao, he instantly remembered the appearance of her standing in front of him to protect him at that time, so the ghost envoy agreed to go with Mu Yao, and then deliberately treated her with a pleasant face, he just wanted to see if she would care if she would care when she saw him and Mu Yao together.

However, in the end, it seemed that he cared more, cared about her smiling at others, and cared about her indifference.

So when he saw her drink two more glasses, he instantly softened, and couldn't help chasing after her left, and couldn't help but care about her.
