Chapter 0254: The Prince's Birthday
As soon as the sun set on the horizon, there was already a lot of traffic in front of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and the voices of people were boiling.
The families and officials of the whole capital almost all went out, not only carrying their family members in gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup, but also a group of servants who carried all kinds of expensive gifts on their shoulders.
Gu Youlan, Yan and Baili Xiangxue did not take the carriage, but walked all the way to the door of the prince's mansion, and before they could take out the invitation, an old man in green clothes ran out of the door quickly.
"A few of them must be the young master and young lady of the Dongfang Mansion family, right? His Royal Highness has already explained, if the distinguished guests arrive, please rest in the side hall first! ”
Gu Youlan and Yan nodded tacitly, followed the old man into the side hall, and just after taking a seat, Prince Duanmu Qingyun walked in panting.
"Young Master of the East, there is a loss of welcome, disrespect and disrespect!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, it's okay!" Gu Youlan arched her hand, which was considered a return salute, but Yan leaned lazily on the back of the chair like a master, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu Youlan hooked the corners of her lips, glanced at Duanmu Qingyun, who looked embarrassed but did not have a seizure, and smiled silently in her heart: "Well, it seems that this prince's bearing is better than that of the second prince, no wonder he can get the weight of the old emperor!" ”
"Young Master of the East, this is the ......" Duanmu Qingyun, as the prince above 10,000 people and under one person, except for the old emperor who was seriously ill and bedridden, he had never been so ignored, although his face was a little unbearable, but after all, he was a person who had seen the big scene, and he also knew that there was an unidentified adult in the Dongfang Mansion through open and secret investigation, and he thought that he was the one in front of him.
"Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is the Honorary Great Elder of our Eastern Mansion!" People have to bow their heads under the eaves, Yan is an ancient god clan and the most noble dragon clan, of course he can choose to ignore anyone, but Gu Youlan can't at the moment, for the sake of friendly relations between the two countries, but also for the unification of the human race, she still chooses to bow first, unless she has to consider using troops as a last resort!
"Ah, it turned out to be the Great Elder, it was Qingyun who was negligent, and Qingyun apologized!" Duanmu Qingyun's eyes widened as if he had suddenly realized, and then he took a deep look very politely.
Gu Youlan saw Duanmu Qingyun behaving like this, and she also knew that he had a lot more exploration and understanding of himself than his second prince, Duanmu Qinghe.
Because since the opening of the heavens, there has been an unwritten rule in the Qixia Continent that all spirits above the grandmaster level do not need to give salutes when they meet members of the royal family.
This regulation not only greatly improved the status of high-level spirit masters, but also showed the style of advocating martial arts in the Qixia Continent.
In fact, there is another unwritten rule that Gu Youlan didn't expect for a while, that is, the power of the sect, although Gu Youlan's Dan Yimen has not yet been built, but half a month ago there was such a big movement in the Xiling Mountain Range, even if Duanmu Qingyun didn't want to know, he had to inquire in many ways.
Therefore, in order to win over the Empress Dowager of Baili Kingdom, who has the cultivation of a grandmaster, the sect behind her and the Baili Kingdom, and in order for himself to ascend to the throne smoothly, Duanmu Qingyun at this moment had to bow his noble head.
Yan finally glanced at Duanmu Qingyun, and nodded indifferently, although it was considered to give him face as the crown prince of the court, but it also showed that he didn't care about him.
Duanmu Qingyun smiled indifferently, and knew in his heart that the more advanced the cultivator, the more arrogant he was, not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he worshiped Yan even more.
I have to say that Yan's move seems to be inadvertent, but it grabbed Duanmu Qingyun's life, and it seems that he already knows what he is thinking in his heart, and he knows even more about what he wants.
The guest and the host sat down quickly, and Duanmu Qingyun glanced at Baili Xiangxue, who had been silently beside Gu Youlan, it didn't matter what he looked at, it seemed that all the focal lengths were frozen at this moment.
Baili Xiangxue was bitterly beaten by Gu Youlan in the garden of Dongfang Mansion in the afternoon, and her heart was still thinking about her words at this moment, and she had a six-point similar face to Gu Youlan.
Time passed minute by minute, Duanmu Qingyun seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his coming, and his eyes were fixed on Baili Xiangxue's cheeks, but Baili Xiangxue was still unknowingly trapped in his own thoughts.
Feeling that the atmosphere in the side hall was still weird, Gu Youlan after sitting down gave Yan a look, and the two quietly looked at Duanmu Qingyun, who seemed to be in love with Baili Xiangxue at first sight, and smiled heartily, while holding the tea that the maid had just served, while talking in a voice.
"Yan, it seems that the second emperor sister's life has been relied on!"
"Girl, you should be relieved now, right? Baili Xiangxue can find Ruyi Langjun, you can explain to your father! ”
"Well, isn't it wishful thinking? It's okay to look at it now, after all, this prince is more reliable than the second prince, although his appearance is slightly worse, but as long as he can be good to the second sister, it's okay! ”
"Improvised? Girl, isn't your vision ordinarily high? Does that mean that only those who look like me can get into your eyes? ”
Yan Chuanyin came here and threw a wink at Gu Youlan, who was looking at him, as if to say, how about it, after looking around, I still found that I was the most handsome, right?
Gu Youlan looked at Yan's flattering eyes and replied with a big white eye: "I've seen a thick skin, I've never seen such a thick skin as Shizun, but it's also said that the skin of the dragon is all Lin armor, so it is naturally very thick!" ”
"You dead girl, you dare to make fun of your master, I think you're looking for a fight, right? Don't worry, when this matter of Duanmu Country is finished and I return to Baili Country, I will propose to your father and emperor, and see how I clean you up on the night of the cave room! ”
Gu Youlan and Yan have been fighting for hundreds of rounds in the exchange of sound transmission and eye contact, but Duanmu Qingyun's side is still not moving, and Baili Xiangxue is even more unaware of his pity.
For a while, the strange atmosphere in the side hall was gradually escalating, but the most hateful were Gu Youlan and Yan, the two knew what was going on, but they pretended not to know, not only continued to fight with the sound, but also looked lively with their eyes.
"Master, are you so sure that my father will marry me to you?" Gu Youlan looked at Duanmu Qingyun while transmitting the sound, and her eyes were full of banter.
"That's it, Baili Chenjiang is not good at cultivation, but it is definitely not wrong to look at people, I am such a good and handsome son-in-law, I can't meet one in 10,000 years, he doesn't look forward to me, can he still turn me away?" Yan pretended to drink tea while continuing to tease Gu Youlan secretly.
Just when Gu Youlan wanted to give Yan the final blow, Duanmu Qingyun finally regained his senses: "That, Young Master Dongfang, where did you just go?" ”
"Oh, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is my second sister!" Gu Youlan hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Baili Xiangxue, and said while holding her hand: "Second sister, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Duanmu Country and the future emperor!" ”
Although Gu Youlan's words seemed to be casual, it was a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
Baili Xiangxue heard this, Rou Yi, who was caught by Gu Youlan, trembled slightly, Duanmu Qingyun was even more happy, but Yan frowned tightly.
The three of them had three expressions and three looks, and they were secretly beating the drum in their hearts.
"It seems that the person I am going to marry in the future is the one in front of me!"
"Oops, it seems that Baili Country has made it clear that it wants to support my Duanmu Qingyun on the throne!"
"Alas, it seems that the girl is ready to bet on the prince!"
Although the hearts of the three of them were thinking in a thousand ways, it was only between two breaths.
Just as Duanmu Qingyun's happy expression had just fallen, the old man in Tsing Yi pushed the door and walked in: "Your Highness, all the guests have arrived, do you think this banquet should start immediately?" ”
"Well, is the second emperor brother of Lone here?" Duanmu Qingyun put his rubbing hands behind his back, restoring the arrogant demeanor of the prince of a country.
"Back to His Royal Highness, the second prince sent a message, saying that His Majesty was already dizzy because you were still holding a banquet during his serious illness, and the second prince said that he wanted to serve the sick, so he couldn't come!"
"What? Father was stunned by me? How is that possible? Today is Lone's birthday, my father knows it, why is he still dizzy? Nothing short of nonsense! ”
When Duanmu Qingyun heard this, his face immediately turned blue with anger, and he looked at Gu Youlan and Yan breathlessly, and at the same time gritted his teeth and gurgled.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, is your father stunned, can you go and check it out for yourself?" Gu Youlan paced slowly in the side hall, thinking in her heart that Duanmu Qinghe had already begun to move.
When Duanmu Qingyun heard this, he stomped his feet hatefully: "Lone knows, it must be Duanmu Qinghe's ghost, but whenever I want to do something, he always does something!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid this time it's not as simple as Duanmu Qinghe wanting to grow extraneous branches!" Baili Xiangxue, who had been silent, suddenly opened her mouth and said the reason.
"What?" Duanmu Qingyun's eyes widened suddenly when he heard Baili Xiangxue's words, and a trace of uneasiness and hindsight immediately made his face pale a little: "Does he want to ......", the word forced palace, although it was not said immediately, but from his frightened and incredible eyes, the few people present already knew the answer.
"Steward Xu, you go to the hall to let people serve food first, let Fule arrange more singing and dancing, and then say that I will arrive later!"
After the old man in Tsing Yi got the order, he left quickly, and Duanmu Qingyun immediately invited the dark position to make arrangements, and then looked at Gu Youlan and the three of them again with a solemn face.
