Chapter 9 Birthday Gift Turmoil

The evening banquet was held in the Bohol Palace, a palace dedicated to entertaining ministers and foreign guests.

Chu Jing and his party were arranged to sit first on the left, and at this moment he was glaring angrily at the man in the seat opposite him.

Chu Jing recognized him, this was the son of King Li of Wei State, the only son of King Li. King Li is the younger brother of the current King of Wei's mother, who holds military power and even surpasses the King of Wei in his prestige in the Wei State. In the border cities of Wei, most of the people only knew King Li but did not know King Wei.

It's just that recently, their secret agents of the Chu State in the Wei State have passed the news back, and the King of Wei seems to have begun to be jealous of his own brother. Why did Wang Shizi come here at this time? Chu Jing felt a little dizzy thinking about the problem in his head, so he stopped thinking about it.

The prince and grandson of King Li also sat in his seat and smiled at Chu Jing's glare, as if nothing could affect him.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen Mother has arrived." The eunuchs at the gate of the Baohe Hall knelt and saluted.

Chu Jing and Gongsun also stood up and bent down at the same time to salute, as envoys from other countries, they did not need to kneel and salute.

After the lord of Yuehua and the queen sat down, they looked around and said in surprise: "Why hasn't the princess arrived yet?" ”

Zhao Qian said in a low voice: "The princess went to the imperial dining room and ordered you to add vegetables, saying that she would add a dish of red fruit scrambled eggs." ”

The last time the lord of Yuehua ate the cold red fruit sent by Xu Jiao, he was busy with government affairs and couldn't ask his daughter about the red fruit.

Lord Yuehua nodded, and greeted the envoys of the two countries on the left and right kindly: "How many days have the envoys been here?" Have you ever visited Qianyue City? ”

Before Chu Jing could speak, Gongsun also spoke first: "We have just been here for three days, we have been tired of traveling all the way, and we have rested well in the post house of your country for the past three days, and we have not had time to visit this Qianyue City." ”

Chu Jing pursed his mouth, this Wei people are hypocritical, and they have to pat their asses when they reply.

The Lord of Yuehua was very happy, and replied: "You have come from afar, we naturally have to treat you well, if there is anything unsatisfactory, just say, don't wronged you." ”

When Gongsun also nodded yes, the lord of Yuehua turned his head and asked Chu Jing: "What about the four princes, is there anything that is not to your liking?" ”

"Okay." Chu Jing looked indifferent.

"The requirements are so high, I don't know where I think you are the emperor." A melodious female voice came from outside the hall, and everyone turned their heads to look for the owner of the voice.

The Lord of Yuehua looked at this figure helplessly and walked in.

Xu Jiao was pressed by the maids in Changle Palace today to dress up, wearing a red phoenix plane gold-patterned shirt, and the lower body was also a red horse-faced skirt, embroidered with golden auspicious cloud patterns, emitting a sparkling dark light when walking.

It's just that she is still young, and she can't be said to be a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, but it can also be seen that she has grown up with two points.

"Erchen hereby wishes my father a happy birthday, and I hope that you will be as handsome as you are today." Xu Jiao stepped forward with a big salute and raised her head to congratulate.

The lord of Yuehua was amused by his poor-mouthed daughter, and beckoned her forward: "Come, you sit between me and your mother." ”

Xu Jiao turned around and examined Chu Jing, and then sat down as if she hadn't seen anything.

Chu Jing was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything from that glance, so he had to give up.

In the middle of the banquet, the palace people entered the hall in turn with freshly boiled red fruit scrambled eggs to serve food to everyone.

The lord of Yuehua gave his daughter a lot of face, and immediately tasted it, and then his eyes lit up, and he said to his daughter: "The taste of your tossed dishes is really fresh, appetizing and delicious." ”

The two people below also tasted it when they heard this, and their eyes lit up, and Gongsun also smiled and said: "This dish in your country is really fresh, I have never eaten it elsewhere, and it has a different flavor." ”

Chu Jing thought to himself, this sycophant is here again, he is still a prince and nobleman, but it's just a fresh dish, and it's really unbearable to be in a hurry to pat the sycophants like this.

Chu and Wei have always had a feud, and they have been fighting each other for a long time, and no matter what the other party does, they will not like it.

A banquet was held to the delight of the guests and hosts.

After the banquet, Xu Jiao took her wrapped clothes and walked towards the Flying Frost Palace, which was the sleeping palace where her father rested, and now the banquet had just ended, and her father must not have slept yet.

"Princess, princess." A figure shouted behind Xu Jiao.

She stopped and turned back, and it turned out to be Xiaohua, who was running over with a large paper bag in both hands.

Xu Jiao looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiaohua spoke breathlessly, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

"Sweet potato, sweet potato is ripe, the slave maid specially brought it to you while it was hot."

Xu Jiao's mind at the moment is on giving gifts, and she doesn't pay much attention to sweet potatoes.

"Then you follow me, and I'll taste it later after I give my birthday gift."

Xiaohua followed closely behind Xu Jiao like a dog, it was still summer at the moment, and the sweet potatoes would not be cold so quickly, not to mention that there was this oil paper wrapped.

"Oops."

The slate at night was a little damp, Xu Jiao was thinking about things, and she slipped and fell to the ground without paying attention. only heard a thud, and when she fell, she threw out the clothes in her arms, and the clothes suddenly tore open a big hole.

Xu Jiao was suddenly struck by lightning, but the palace people behind her hurriedly helped her up.

"I'm done with the system, I'm done, my father will definitely not be very happy now."

The system didn't make a sound, no matter how Xu Jiao called it, it was silent.

The group helped the limping Xu Jiao to the door of the Flying Frost Palace, and the palace people who were waiting in front of the palace saw this and hurriedly reported it to the palace.

Xu Jiao entered the hall, and the Lord of Yuehua was hurriedly walking out.

"My good daughter, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Jiao originally just felt stunned by the tearing of her clothes, but at this moment, when she heard the anxious concern that her father's tone couldn't hide, a sense of grievance suddenly surged up from inside her body and flowed out of her eyes.

"I, I made you a garment."

"It's good to make clothes, why are you crying?" The lord of Yuehua stretched out his hand to support Xu Jiao.

"I fell on the way here, and you see, my clothes were torn by me." After speaking, another wave of tears welled up.

"I personally chose the material, and in order to embroider the pattern on it, my fingers were pierced with many holes." The more she talked, the more sad she became, and she suddenly became sad and cried convulsively.

The lord of Yuehua picked up his daughter's hand, and there were really many traces of needle on it, and he was also very distressed, and a crooked dragon pattern could be seen on the lump of clothes stained with mud marks.

"Okay, okay, you can wear it if it's broken, as long as it's a birthday gift from your father, your father likes it."

The lord of Yuehua coaxed his daughter softly, and after a while, Xu Jiao eased up and burst into laughter. At that moment, her stomach rumbled.

"Cry hungry, Father, let someone make you what you like to eat."

"No need." Xu Jiao suddenly remembered that Xiaoxiang was still carrying sweet potatoes, and hurriedly called Xiaoxiang to bring the sweet potatoes in.

When I opened the paper packet, the sweet potatoes were still steaming from a walk, and they were no longer hot. She picked up a sweet potato and began to eat it, and the lord of Yuehua also took one, tasted what her daughter had grown, and said with a smile: "Then this is also a birthday gift from you to your father." ”

A sweet potato hasn't been eaten yet, and they all feel full.

"This thing is really good, it's much more satiety than that red fruit, and it's sweet, how much did you plant?" The lord asked.

"An acre of land." Xu Jiao thought about it for a moment.

"How's the yield?" Lord Yuehua asked casually.

Xu Jiao thought about the yield that the system had told her before and answered him.

"12,000 catties, enough to eat in the palace for a long time, my daughter will send you some here."

"What did you say?"

The lord of Yuehua cried out in shock, 12,000 catties? You must know that the average crop output of a farmland is only about 300 catties, and even the best black soil has an output of only six or seven hundred catties, and 12,000 catties is simply an impossible astronomical number.

"Really, I don't believe you can take someone to dig it yourself tomorrow, I still have a lot to dig up." Xu Jiao didn't understand how her father reacted so much, which scared her and suspected her.
