"If your prince is angry, let him go to me, I have a lot of time, and I will accompany you at any time."

Hao Wuxuan said to Jin Ling again: "Jin Ling, you better stay, and when the birthday banquet begins, supervise them to deliver this cake to the prince, and remember to say 'happy birthday' to him for me." ”

"Yes."

Looking at the back of Hao Wu leaving in a luxurious and chic manner, Jin Ling sighed slightly.

On King Yin's birthday, Chu Ye did not plan to invite anyone or anyone as in previous years, but as in previous years, there were not a few people who came to give gifts and congratulations, royal relatives, high-ranking officials and ministers. And everyone took a post.

The fifth king, Chu Yao, met the sixth princess Chu Wei outside the front hall, and shouted "Sixth Sister" with a smile like a rising sun.

The sixth princess has a baby face, white and tender skin, a pair of crooked eyes when she smiles, and she is cute and playful.

She looked at the posts in the hands of those who came in and said, "Fifth brother, do you have to make a post for the fourth brother every year?" It's not that I don't know that the fourth brother doesn't like to be lively, and he has to greet so many idle people, aren't you blocking him? ”

"I'm adding some popularity to the fourth brother's palace, his deserted mansion is rarely lively once a year, even my father supports me, and the fourth brother himself acquiesces!"

"You didn't say hello to the fourth brother before you sent the invitation, is this a tacit approval? It's a chop-and-go! ”

"But I post every year, and the fourth brother has long expected it, and he didn't stop me in advance, isn't this just acquiescence?"

Glaring at Chu Yao, Chu Wei glanced at Li Jin'er who was greeting the guests from a distance, and frowned, "Didn't you add a sister-in-law?" Why is she still welcoming guests this year? ”

"Our sister-in-law is not an ordinary person, I guess she is secretly lazy at this moment. The banquet is about to start, hurry up and get seated! ”

After touching the time for a cup of tea, the guests were all seated, Chu Ye looked at the empty position around him, and frowned slightly.

After Li Jin'er greeted the last guest to sit down, she naturally wanted to walk over to him and sit down, but was repelled by Chu Ye's eyes and sat down in the first position below.

Outside the front hall, the guard who had gone to invite Hao Wu before whispered in Jing's ear, Yu Jing entered the hall gate, bypassed the guest seat and came to Chu Ye's side, bowed his head and said something, Chu Ye's handsome eyebrows wrinkled deeper.

At the beginning of the banquet, the guests toasted and congratulated Chu Ye, and the singing and dancing team invited by Chu Yao also started their performance. All of a sudden, the drums in the front hall sounded in unison, and the plans were staggered.

Ministers and ministers flew between each other, pushing cups and changing lamps. When the interest was strong, Li Jin'er walked to the center of the hall and blessed Chu Ye and said: "Lord, the concubine has specially prepared a dance for the prince, helping the prince to live long and bless the sea, and prolong the life of the prince!" ”

Chu Ye held the wine glass, and there was no wave in his eyes.

General Li, who was sitting in the third position on the right side, watched his daughter leave the hall, looked at Chu Ye who didn't seem to be thinking about the banquet with blazing eyes, and held a wine glass in both hands to signal that he wanted to kill him.

Chu Ye came back to his senses and took a glass of wine with him.

Wu Si Shu Tong Zhang Gaoqiu, empty mountains and clouds are not flowing.

With the melodious and intoxicating sound of gonghou, five women in dark red brocade robes and long skirts held overlapping water sleeves in both hands, and entered the front hall with light and strange steps.

They were graceful, as light as swallows, and suddenly let out the water sleeves in their hands, and Li Jin'er in the center jumped up with his head held high--

The jade snail blows the vertebral bun, and the copper drum hits the tattoo. The beads are dazzling and the stars are shaking, and the flowers are fighting and the dragon and snake are moving.

I have to say that Li Jin'er's dancing posture is probably one of the best in the entire imperial city and even the entire Nansheng Empire, plus she is the daughter of a general, and the combination of rigidity and softness in her dancing posture makes the guests stunned.

The second king, Chu Yong, pinched the wine glass, and his eyes flashed with a blurry luster.

The sixth princess Chu Wei had long heard that Li Jin'er was dancing movingly, and when she saw it today, she couldn't help but feel a little appreciation in her heart, and said in her heart: No wonder the fourth brother likes it.

But when he turned his eyes to look at Chu Ye, he was indifferent to Li Jin'er's flattering eyes at all, but pinched the wine glass and drank the stuffy wine, not knowing what he was thinking.

She poked Chu Yao, the fifth king beside her, "Hey, what's wrong with the fourth brother?" An unhappy look. ”

Chu Yao laughed, "I'm afraid it's uncomfortable." ”

"I'll just say it, the fourth brother doesn't like to be lively, but you want to recruit so many people."

"That's not the reason!"

"Why is that?"

Chu Yao looked around, leaned into Chu Wei's ear and whispered, "Because of that sister-in-law who has never met you." ”

Obviously, Chu Wei was very surprised.

"I heard that the fourth brother is not very good to his sister-in-law, and this Li Jin'er is his favorite."

"It's all rumors, you'll know when you meet your sister-in-law."

After the dance, Li Jin'er looked at Chu Ye with a smile, but saw that Chu Ye was not looking at her, she was emotionally lost for a while, and the smile on her face also retreated, and she bowed to him and retreated with the rest of the dancers.

Chu Ye, who couldn't sit still, put down the wine glass, and just got up, Yu Jing, who was standing on the first side, saluted him and said, "Lord, the princess still has a gift for you." ”

Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, Chu Ye's eyes were full of surprise, would she still have a gift for him?

So he sat down gracefully again.

I saw that the two guards at the door carried a gilded shelf tightly covered with red cloth and walked in steadily, and placed it in the front of the center of the main hall, in front of Chu Ye.

The hall was suddenly silent, and they all looked at the shelf curiously, including Li Jin'er, who had just taken a seat.

Jin Ling, who was accompanying her, smiled and said to Chu Ye: "The prince's birthday, the mother got up in the middle of the night to prepare a birthday gift for the prince, and the mother said, I wish the prince a happy birthday!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the guards on the side uncovered the red cloth in an uproar, and the three-layer exquisite and unique birthday cake suddenly came into everyone's eyes, and a tempting and delicious sweet smell filled the entire front hall, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Chu Ye's originally tense eyebrows had already been stretched, with an indescribable joy, "What is this?" ”

Jin Ling replied: "Niang Niang said that this is called a birthday cake, which is specially used for people's birthdays. ”

With that, he gave the guards on the side a look, and the guards distributed the wooden knives, forks and plates that had been prepared long ago.

Chu Ye looked at the few thin candles held in the guard's hands and asked, "What is this for?" ”

Jin Ling said again: "Niang Niang said that when you celebrate your birthday, make a wish is the most spiritual, insert a candle into the cake, light it, and blow it out after making a wish, and God will be able to hear the wish of the prince." ”

King Yin pursed his lips and smiled, and everyone was shocked.

No one had ever seen their King Yin smile so unruly. General Li looked at his daughter Li Jin'er, and saw that one of Li Jin'er's hands towards Chu Ye was secretly holding his sleeve, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, and his cold eyebrows stared at Prime Minister Hao Hong who was sitting opposite him, but Hao Hong didn't seem to be happy because his daughter was favored by the king, and the fingers pinching the cup were secretly energetic.
