Chapter 16: The Birthday Banquet
Luo gradually left the mansion early in the morning and went outside the city.
Ji Lingxi got up and freshened up to eat breakfast, still looking listless.
It's just that the clothes on her body are in a heated discussion with the Jin Bu on her head, and the question of who is not worthy of whom.
Ji Lingxi is really a head now, two big.
Fortunately, she and Ji Lengyue are in separate carriages, otherwise if she looks like this, she will definitely laugh at her for looking like this today.
Ji Lingxi and Ji Junyu are in the same carriage.
He saw that Ji Lingxi's state was a little dazed, and asked with concern, "Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" But feeling unwell? ”
"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."
As soon as Ji Lingxi's words fell, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Now the little girl doesn't blink her eyes when she lies." ”
At first glance, it seems to come from the jade wrench finger in Ji Junyu's hand.
Ji Lingxi sighed and stroked her forehead, expressing some helplessness, but she couldn't reply, otherwise Ji Junyu would definitely think that she had fallen into evil.
"Xi'er, what are you sighing for?"
"Nope! is worried that His Majesty will let Xi'er perform his talent for a while, and Xi'er will lose the face of the Ji family. ”
"If Xi'er is unwell, my father can explain to His Majesty for a while, and the matter of the talent show can be handed over to Yue'er to complete."
"If that's the case, that's great."
In this case, of course, the less limelight, the better.
"Xi'er, are you alright? My father heard Yuya say that since the woman named Luo Yanqing came to the house, you have been reluctant to give up all day long, but what little tricks did she use against you? ”
"What? Father, don't listen to Yuya's nonsense, Luo Yanqing is just a little girl, what can she do with my glance? Aren't you afraid I'll kick her out? ”
"I'm afraid it's some charlatans, use some medicine powder to make you obedient."
"Father, you think too much, if I were really confused by her medicinal powder, would I still be able to sit here and talk to you in a serious way? It's been a fool and a fool for a long time. ”
"It's just worrying about being a father, it's naturally best if you're okay."
"Father doesn't need to worry, Xi'er will take care of himself. And also! Father, don't talk about her like this in front of Luo Yanqing, I'm afraid she will be unhappy. ”
"Xi'er thinks about her."
"It's your father, you blame her, she is actually very kind to me, if she hadn't dug me out of that pile of waste wood last time, I'm afraid my life would not be saved."
"Xi'er means that she saved you when you were injured last time, didn't she burden you?"
"Yes!" Ji Lingxi nodded sincerely.
"But her father blamed her."
"Since my father knows that she is to blame, do you want to show something when you return home?"
"What does Xi'er want her father to say to her?"
"At least reward her with an independent room, improve her status in the house, and don't easily let her do rough work."
"Why is Xi'er protecting her like this?"
"She's Xi'er's life-saving benefactor, shouldn't Xi'er treat her well?"
"That makes sense."
"Then my father agreed?"
"These are all trivial things, in fact, you can just tell me to go down."
"In the house, my father still has the final say."
"I know that I have a poor mouth, and why I don't want to think about the difficulties of being a father when I am in trouble."
"Father is so distressed, he will definitely solve all the troubles for him."
"You've been a perfunctory father since you were a child."
"Doesn't my father like it?"
Ji Lingxi saw the wind and began to be coquettish.
Ji Junyu looked at her and chuckled, "I like it." ”
The birthday banquet is held once a year, and it is naturally grand.
The banquet was held in the pear orchard in the palace.
Ji Lingxi rarely entered the palace, and his impression of Liyuan stayed on the big stage.
If she mentioned what was in the pear orchard, she remembered that there seemed to be a water corridor.
The water corridor winds for more than 100 meters, and when you get close, you can see the royal river.
The river under the corridor is turquoise, and if you look closely, you can see a few fish playing in the water.
As the prime minister of the DPRK, Ji Junyu's treatment is naturally not worse than that of several princes, and the seats are the best.
With such a father, Ji Lingxi really wants to keep a low profile, especially in such a special period.
After singing the opera on the stage, Ji Lingxi only hoped that today's banquet would end soon.
"Lingxi, do you have anything important to deal with? This king sees that you have been absent-minded all along. ”
Originally, the concubines and princesses sat separately in several areas.
I don't know who is so considerate that they arranged for her to sit with Nanfeng.
He talked to him from time to time throughout the whole process, and he had to listen to his clothes and accessories to discuss how much he could live.
The jade pendant on his waist said: "I don't think this master will live to be thirty years old." ”
Coming to such a banquet, everyone will dress up, Nan Fengli is no exception, he has already replaced the ribbon on his head with a jade crown, so Ji Lingxi heard the jade crown on his head say this: "I bet with you, I will definitely not live to be twenty-five." ”
"How can this be true? That's too much. Ji Lingxi muttered, and at the end of the day, he didn't know what nerves he had, and suddenly stood up and yelled at Nanfengli, "Are you finished?" ”
Although Nan Fengli was surprised, his face was still unshocked, and he didn't ask what Ji Lingxi meant.
Ji Lingxi's shout successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Facing the puzzled and shocked gazes of the people around him, Ji Lingxi swallowed his saliva and said loudly: "I recently read a very beautiful book. ”
After saying that, she quickly sat down and reduced the attention of others to her.
But it's too late.
She managed to attract Nanfeng Mo's attention.
Nanfeng Mo is His Majesty in the mouths of everyone, the king of the Northern Abyss Kingdom, and the most authoritative man in this imperial city.
"I don't know what kind of book Miss Ji reads, but I suddenly became interested."
Everyone's surprised eyes followed this deep and deep male voice, which shifted from Ji Lingxi to a man.
As everyone followed the voice to look at the man, the man slowly stood up from the front seat.
Before he could see the man's face, the breeze gently lifted his sky-blue shirt, and his black hair was tied up with a jade crown.
Although he is only looking at his back now, his face must be majestic and handsome from his upright back.
Seeing Nanfeng Mo stand up, everyone also stood up, not daring to sit alone anymore.
Ji Lingxi sighed and stood up, and Nanfeng Mo just turned around.
In the dazzling sunlight, a face with deep facial features suddenly smashed into Ji Lingxi's eyes.
In Ji Lingxi's memory, Nanfeng Mo's appearance was very vague, but seeing each other at such a close distance today was as close as he imagined.
Nanfeng Mo is about to enter thirty this year, and there are traces of time on his face.
The precipitation of these years has added a majestic connotation to his appearance and added a little more charm.
However, if you compare Nanfeng Mo with Nan Fengli, who is younger than him, Nanfeng Li is still better looking than him.
Ji Lingxi didn't know what he thought, anyway, no matter who he looked at, he felt that Nanfeng Li looked better than them.
Maybe it's because Nanfeng has never shown disgust for himself and respects himself.
