It was Ying Zhan who opened her mouth first, "Jiang Meiren can't drink wine, you can pour her tea." ”

The palace maid paused when she was about to pour wine, and instead poured tea for Dump Yan.

Jiang Yihan's third brother also felt that drinking alcohol hurt women, and he didn't want his sister to drink.

It's just that the host Ying Zhan didn't speak, so they couldn't speak.

Now that the emperor had spoken, the three of them withdrew their eyes and talked about the business between the men.

During the next meal, Jiang Yihan and Ying Zhan were mostly talking.

Jiang Yixuan and Jiang Yilang occasionally echoed a few words.

As the only woman in the dinner, she just bowed her head and ate obediently.

Anyway, none of the four men in this need her to accompany the drink, but they don't want her to drink.

It was as if she were a Class I protected animal present.

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Yihan seemed to remember something.

He said to Ying Zhan: "By the way, Your Majesty, in addition to the tribute sent by the envoy today, on behalf of myself, I have also brought you and Jiang Meiren local gifts from the northern bordering country. ”

The congratulatory gifts sent by the previous envoy to the Queen Mother, as well as the tributes to the emperor, are all precious.

But he specially prepared gifts for the emperor and Xiao Yan.

Originally, Xiao Yan's gift was planned to be given again in private.

But there are a series of things happening today, and only at this time can I have a chance to send them out.

Ying Zhan, who had just taken a sip of wine, raised her eyebrows.

He first glanced at Jiang Yihan, and then at Yan Yan.

Placing the cup in front of the table, "Then bring it up." ”

Jiang Yihan glanced at the guards behind him, then high-fived slightly, and two messengers came in outside the door.

One of them came in with a boxy thing.

The messenger first said to Ying Zhan: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to you. ”

The thing this man was holding in his arms was covered with a red cloth.

Tanyan faintly heard the sound of a rooster crowing.

Ying Zhan glanced at Li Zhong and motioned for Li Zhong to accept it.

After the palace maid and eunuch checked that the gift was not dangerous and there was no problem, it was handed over to Ying Zhan.

When Ying Zhan officially uncovered the red cloth, he saw that it was a small chicken coop, and inside was a pheasant.

In layman's terms, it's a pheasant.

The pheasant has tan fur on its body, and its forehead and upper beak are black with a blue-green sheen.

The tail is pointed and long, upturned.

She remembered that she had read about giving pheasants in a book.

It is said that pheasants do not eat bait or food, and often starve to death soon after they are caught.

It is not afraid of deterrence.

If he is captured alive, he will commit suicide, and he has the discipline of preferring to die unyieldingly.

Therefore, the ancients gave pheasants to express their inner respect and faithfulness, and also to strengthen each other.

It can be understood that the eldest brother is expressing his inner respect and loyalty to Ying Zhan, implying that the two countries in the north and Xizi will always be friendly.

It is also a warning to Ying Zhan not to be as ambitious as the Southern Plains and annex friendly countries and subject countries.

In addition to that, there was a small dish of rice in the chicken coop.

If you see rice in the chicken coop in the past, you don't have to think about it.

But at this time, Xizi was good at farming, and there was a kind of secret poke and poke to show favor to Ying Zhan, indicating that he would help the northern country in farming.

In ancient times, the fundamental reason for the prosperity of the country was mainly due to agriculture and warfare.

Because Xizi is good at farming, but not good at warfare, it has to marry with Beilin.

As for why he didn't fight with the strongest country in the southern plains, it was naturally because the southern countries were too wild, and even the subject countries and friendly countries were annexed.

Qian Yan looked up at Ying Zhan, and saw the man staring at the chicken coop with deep eyes.

Even she understands the mystery, compared to him, he must also understand.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Qian Yan quickly opened the gift handed to her by the messenger.

The gift Jiang Yihan gave her was in a pink silk-wrapped box.

When opened, inside are delicate Chang'e and Jade Rabbit puppet dolls, as well as a group of puppet dolls with eight immortals crossing the sea.

Some of those puppets held a pu fan, some carried a wine gourd, some held a lotus, and some held a jade rabbit......

When he poured his face, he was petrified in the same place, which ...... Isn't it something that little girls like?

At this time, Jiang Yilang on the side also asked her as if he was invited: "Xiao Yan, you liked these girls' dolls the most when you were a child, this time this puppet of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, he won't choose it, or I chose it with my second brother, what, do you like it?" ”

"......"

It turns out that the original owner likes these.

Yan Yan is indifferent to this kind of fact.

But in order not to disappoint the three brothers who came all the way.

She still pulled out a sweet smile, "I like it, I like it very much, thank you brothers for the gift I received, this is the cutest gift I have received this year."

Probably out of weakness, he couldn't put it down and took out the jade rabbit puppet, and said something heart-wrenching.

"Also, today at my aunt's birthday banquet, I was very scared at that time, thanks to my brothers who appeared and helped me speak, at that moment, I felt very relieved, as if as long as my brothers were there, I was not afraid of anything."

After saying this, Jiang Yixuan and Jiang Yilang smiled with relief, "If your brothers don't protect you, who else will they protect?" ”

Although Jiang Yihan was also pleased, he still kept his sanity and calm, "Where is the credit of the brothers, the key is to see Your Majesty, it is Your Majesty who favors you and trusts you, otherwise it will be useless even if we say more." ”

is worthy of being the prince of Sizi, and has two brushes in terms of socialization.

In one sentence, all the credit was attributed to Ying Zhan.

After hearing this, he looked up at Ying Zhan.

As a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw that Ying Zhan's eyes were a little cold.

Yan Yan only thought that Ying Zhan was angry about the pheasant sent by his eldest brother, so he didn't think much about it.

However, Ying Zhan glanced at the little woman coldly.

Seeing her smile sweetly when she received the gift reminded him of her birthday.

He gave Hua Tuo a lonely book to her, and she was also in love with her at that time, overjoyed, and flattered.

Her mouth was as if she had smeared honey, saying that she liked the "Huatuo Divine Doctor Secret Book", which was the most meaningful gift she had ever received.

Now, she turned her head and said to others, "This is the loveliest gift she has ever received."

It's just that she behaved really at that time.

But this time, he clearly saw the hypocrisy in her eyes.

Oh, hypocritical woman.

Sure enough, as he guessed, she was not only sweet in front of him, but sweet when she met people.

It's no wonder that the servants in the palace often say that Jiang Qianyan always coaxes the queen mother to the brim.

Maybe others think that Jiang Tianyan and Jiang Yihan are brothers and sisters, and the interaction between them is very harmonious.

But Ying Zhan knew that this woman had changed her core.

She and the three Jiang Yihan brothers, they can't fight the relationship of eight poles, what kind of brother and sister are they?
