039 Qingxi's birthday banquet
"It's just that with the passage of time and personnel changes, the little pride she has left has been polished and worn out by the years."
"Time flies, years grow old, and what is lost can be expressed in words? Steward Qin, let's start training horses. ”
"Okay."
While Fang Qingxi and Qin Xiao were seriously training horses, Wu Zhen was chatting with Fang Tianqi about the current situation.
"Tianqi, what do you think of the eldest princess recognizing Qingxi as her sister-in-law?"
"It's nothing more than trying to embarrass the prince through this incident, and by the way, tell everyone that Qingxi is the eldest princess, which means that the Fang family stands behind the eldest princess, and the eldest princess's favorite prince is the prince, and the Fang family will also stand behind the prince."
"What happened to the national teacher after he found out about this?"
"Father didn't say anything after knowing about this, I think he should be struggling to deal with it now, not to mention that this is just the unilateral meaning of the eldest princess."
"I'm afraid that this is what Wu Epidemic means, he is now a righteous prince."
"The prince is right to Xi'er...... We can't say for sure, and Xi'er can't have that meaning to him. ”
"Your sister's mind is still on that teacher?"
"A while ago, He Wuji returned to pray for Yanguo to marry, and Xi'er is afraid that he has no extra thoughts."
"It's better to be so, even if she wants to, this king will take away her will."
Wu Zhen's words were as sure as usual, but Fang Tianqi was silent, he couldn't guess his sister's temperament, let alone spy on the person in front of him who was so thoughtful.

The day before Empress Chen Guo left, she specially sent someone to invite Qingxi to come to the courtyard for a gathering.
Qingxi thought that she could have a good chat with Chen Guo's mother and daughter, but Zuolu Qinghua broke up Yelujana.
"I don't know why Empress Chen invited Qingxi to come today?"
Seeing that Yelu Jana was broken up by Empress Chen, Qingxi guessed that Empress Chen had something to say to her.
"This palace heard that Miss Fang Er didn't have her mother by her side since she was a child, so she rushed to make a set of skirts, thinking about giving it to you today."
"This ......"
The maid on the side brought the skirt to her, but Qingxi was a little hesitant. She had read the tradition of Chen Guo in the book, in which Chen Guo's mother would personally make a set of skirts for her daughter every year, which meant wealth, auspiciousness, and a mother's deep love for her daughter. Empress Chen gave her a skirt, which she really didn't expect.
Noticing the hesitation in Qingxi's eyes, Zuolu Qinghua couldn't help but feel distressed, it was really pitiful that such a good girl had no mother by her side since she was a child.
"Second Miss Fang, don't be restrained, this is also what Jena's girl means."
"Xie Niangniang."
Wan Xin, who was beside Qingxi, took the skirt handed by the maid and sent the skirt back to the carriage under the guidance of the maid. Seeing that Zolu was about to speak and stopped, Qingxi guessed that she had something to say to her when she separated the maids. Thinking of this, Qingxi simply got straight to the point.
"The queen has something to say to Qingxi, if there is, it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Second Miss Fang, this palace does have something to ask for when you invite you to the other courtyard today."
"Mother, please speak."
"Tomorrow, the Japanese Palace is about to leave for Chen Kingdom, and Jena is left here by Wu Man. Bengong knew that Wu Man's move was to let Jena stay in the country as a hostage, and she wanted Jena to repay her debts. The palace does not ask Jena to have much scenery in the country of the Eagle Owl, but only asks her to stay safe for a year, and after a year, the palace will send someone to take her back to China. Therefore, Hongu hopes that you can help Hongu take care of Jena, at least don't let her be bullied. ”
"Niangniang's mind Qingxi knows, Qingxi assures Niangniang that as long as Qingxi is in the capital, she will protect the princess one day."
Qingxi knew what Empress Chen Guo was worried about, how could a princess from another country not be coveted, you must know that Jena is the most favored princess of Chen Guo, and at the same time one of the candidates for the prince of Chen Guo, getting her means getting the support of Chen Guo, and regardless of Chen Guo's strength or not, it will be much easier to earn that chair with the support of one country. Once someone asks Wei Zong for Jena, even if Empress Chen Guo is unwilling, but after all, it is far away from quenching her thirst, and she can't help but make the villain strike first.
After getting Qingxi's promise, Zolu Qinghua was much more relieved, just like Qingxi thought in her heart, she was very worried that her daughter would have too much to do with the Eagle Kingdom, and she didn't want her daughter's youth to be ruined in this place. In Chen Guo, her daughter can enjoy the blue sky, white clouds, and grassland without restraint, and enjoy the sunshine that belongs to the children of the tyrant. But here, her daughter has to live a life of walking on thin ice, and if it weren't for her unavoidable hardship, she would never leave her daughter in this place.
"Second Miss Fang, this is a secret letter from this palace, if he comes to Chen Guo when he has the help of this palace in the future, this palace owes you a favor and must repay it with all his might."
"Xie Niangniang."
Qingxi took the secret letter from Zolu Tsunhua's hand, this time she did not refuse Zolu Tsunhua's kindness, she knew that with her current strength, this secret letter was undoubtedly her last life-saving card, once something very tricky happened, she could save her life.
As everyone knows, when this secret letter was activated, it would bring an immeasurable disaster to this continent, of course, this is ten years from now, at least not now.

The third day of December in the ninth year of Wei was Fang Qingxi's thirteenth birthday.
This is the first time Fang Qingxi has celebrated his birthday, and it is also the first birthday banquet that Fang Weizhong has held for his second daughter.
Early in the morning, Qingxi was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside the door. She opened her sleepy eyes, only to find that Wan Xin and the rosary were waiting by the side early.
"Rosary, what time is it?"
"Three o'clock."
"So early?"
"Miss, it's not early, the eldest lady and Aunt Xu are waiting for Miss outside. According to the rules, the lady should eat longevity noodles at the end of the year, before which you have to change your clothes and dress up, go to the front yard to greet the lord, and go back to the inner courtyard to pick joy for the maids. ”
"Why haven't I heard you talk about so much attention before?"
Hearing that the rosary said so much, Wanxin was a little unhappy, and when the old man didn't give the young lady a birthday banquet before, he didn't see how much attention he had. Now seeing that his young lady has earned a lot of face for the Fang family, this birthday banquet has also been held, and there are more exquisiteness. The world is hot and cold, but it is not enough.
"Miss hasn't held a banquet before, so I don't know what it is."
"Rosary, I see that you know so much, you must have been a great helper when I wanted to come to the birthday banquet of the eldest lady in the past."
"Wanxin, go and bring that piece of blue jade."
Seeing that Wanxin deliberately embarrassed the rosary, Qingxi was upset with the rosary, today was her birthday, she didn't want to say too much about Wanxin, not to mention that Wanxin had served her for many years, and she always had to take care of this friendship.
After tidying up in the inner room for a while, Qingxi went to the outer room accompanied by the rosary.
"Eldest sister, Aunt Xu."
Fang Zhiling and Xu Lan, who were still chatting, both looked at Qingxi when they heard the voice.
Today's Qingxi wears a placket jacket made of brocade, a pair of southern pearls at the placket are particularly chic under the cover of vermilion, and the lower body is a pomegranate long skirt, and the staggered gold threads at the skirt are intertwined into a landscape idyll. A black hair hangs straight down to the waist, and the pearl earrings on the hair and the pearl earrings on the ears are slightly ordinary, but the blue jade around the neck sets off the delicate face.
Qingxi's outfit is really attentive.
"My sister is so beautiful today, it's different when she's a year older."
"My sister remembers the dress of the eldest sister on her thirteenth birthday, and the huge Nanzhu is blind. Where is it like a sister, all dressed up are two girls fooling around. ”
"If the girls mess around a little bit and the masters will become beautiful, then I still hope that Liuzhu and Miaoqin can mess around a little more and dress me up beautifully."
“……”
In the face of Fang Zhiling's "stalking", Qingxi was really speechless.
"Alright, it's not too early. Aunt Xu, please take Qingxi to Daddy's place to say goodbye, and I have to go to the kitchen to see how the preparations are going. ”
"Don't worry, the eldest lady will arrange everything for the second lady."
Qingxi and Xu Lan came to Qingyanju to ask Fang Weizhong and Fang Tianqi for peace, and Fang Weizhong let Qingxi leave with a few words.
After that, Qingxi and the two girls picked joy in the inner courtyard, and frolicked for a while before eating a few bites of longevity noodles.
In less than an hour, Qingxi was exhausted.
As soon as the time came, the main gate of the Fang Mansion and the north gate set off firecrackers on time, such a big battle caused many people to stop and watch, and the news that Miss Fang Er held a birthday banquet in the house spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital for a while.
Immediately after less than an hour, first the prince sent someone to send a few loads of gifts from the palace, and then the beautiful woman from a large family came to the Fang Mansion with gifts and a remarkable figure, and the birthday banquet of Miss Fang Er's thirteenth birthday once had a rising tide.
Fang Weizhong had expected that someone would come to congratulate him, so he ordered Xu Lan in advance to add ten more tables in the inner courtyard, and the Yuqiong Pavilion was already full of tables and chairs. The battle of Fang Qingxi's birthday banquet was much larger than Fang Weizhong's birthday banquet.
Fang Qingxi, who is the protagonist of today's banquet, has been greeting guests in the Yuqiong Pavilion for a long time. Most of the people at the banquet were unknown to her, but fortunately, Fang Zhiling was on the side to help keep the two sides from looking embarrassed. With Fang Zhiling on the side to introduce it with ease, Fang Qingxi was also happy, just perfunctory, talking and laughing.
"Miss, Princess Rinlin is here."
The sharp-eyed Wan Xin noticed the group of people in the distance from a distance, and following the direction Wan Xin pointed, Qing Xi and Fang Zhiling both noticed that the Li sisters who were walking towards Yuqiong Pavilion were still following Gu Junyi by their side.
Seeing his friends, Qingxi didn't have time to laugh and talk with those noble ladies, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Qin Lin, you're here."
"I'm here with my sister and Junyi, and today we are so beautiful."
"Don't praise me, come, sit here."
After both of them took their seats, Li Qinhan looked Qingxi up and down, and said in her heart that her dress today was very charming, if he came, I am afraid it would be ......
"Sister, this is the tea that Qingxi just brewed, you can taste it."
Li Qinlin put the tea cup handed by Qingxi in front of Li Qinhan, she had just noticed that Li Qinhan was distracted, she could guess what her sister was thinking, that was what she was worried about, but according to the current situation, her worries did not play any role.
After taking the tea handed by Li Qinlin, Li Qinhan took a few sips, and his thoughts calmed down a lot.
"This tea is very fragrant."
is a simple four words, but the words are extremely bitter. Fang Qingxi will reach the age of marriage in two years, and she knows his thoughts very well, although she is unwilling in her heart, she has to admit Fang Qingxi's excellence. For some reason, she could find her shadow in Fang Qingxi's body, maybe this was the reason why he chose Fang Qingxi instead of Fang Zhiling, or maybe she was still obsessed.
Fang Qingxi and the Li sisters' table attracted a lot of attention, and those who were envious would naturally be jealous, and those who were disdainful would naturally care.
The banquet of the ladies has always been unpeaceful, and only they can understand the mystery and taste.
"Qingxi!"
When Qingxi had a good conversation with the Li sisters, the distant shouts made her heart happy. Hearing this, she saw a smiling Yelujana walking towards her.
"Jena."
On this occasion, it stands to reason that Qingxi should call Yelujana a princess in a regular manner, but since Zolu Tinghua left with the envoy team, Qingxi gradually found that someone had paid attention to Yelujana, before she promised Zolu Tinghua to protect her daughter thoroughly, and not to mention that she would not lose her trust, just because they were good friends, she would also guard her. In this way, Qingxi began to call Yelu Jie Na by her name in various fields, she wanted to let people know how unusual her relationship with Ye Jie Jie Na was, you must know that her current situation can be described as smooth sailing, the eldest princess, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Li sisters are all her protection, and anyone must think about the powerful relationship before making plans.
"Jena, come and sit here."
Li Qinlin also cordially beckoned her to sit on their side when she saw Yelu Jiena, Yelu Jiena stayed in the country of Yiyu and accompanied Qingxi in Jiaoyanfang all day long, and this time she became good friends with Li Qinlin and Gu Junyi, and they could talk more together.
