037 Daiju
On March 18 of Chu Han, Prime Minister Liang Guocheng was 50 years old.
On this day, the Prime Minister's Mansion was lit up, and it was not lively. There are more than a dozen tables set up in the huge courtyard, and a stage is set up in the middle, and the most famous opera troupe in Linnan is invited to perform for guests to watch.
Just after the end of the day, some officials came to the door with gifts to congratulate their birthdays. Duan Qifeng and Duan Qiling both stood at the gate to greet the guests, and Yan Shuangfei followed Duan Mu and Duan Zhengxiang to wait in the hall, helping to count the gifts sent by the guests.
"Yan Chang, the prefect of Linnan, came to congratulate the prime minister on his birthday-" A familiar voice came, Yan Shuangfei turned his head to look, Yan Chang and Yan Liu, who were dressed in festive clothes, were imprinted into her eyes, and the big red robe almost made Yan Shuangfei laugh.
As the saying goes, "people are in good spirits when they are happy", Duan Zhengxiang was in a good mood, and while signaling Duan Qi to take the gift, he smiled and said with Yan Chang: "My father-in-law doesn't need to be polite, we are a family!" ”
Yan Shuangfei also greeted him and called cordially: "Dad, auntie." She secretly swept Yan Chang's surroundings with her gaze, but did not see the eldest sister and the third sister. Yan Yunyan and Yan Yunshan have not left the cabinet, and it is indeed unetiquette to come to celebrate their birthday. However, out of sight is pure, and Yan Shuangfei is also happy.
Yan Chang smiled and bowed his head, and even Yan Liu barely managed to squeeze out a few smiles.
This birthday was arranged for a luncheon, which was also decided by Duan Zhengxiang himself. I heard Duan Qifeng mention that after all the guests finished lunch and left, the family would hold a family banquet in the evening. And this family banquet, in addition to celebrating his father's birthday, is also to welcome the arrival of his master.
Yan Shuangfei had long heard of the worldly master "Yun Wuya" in Sima Yi's mouth, and her marriage with Duan Qifeng was the thread drawn by this so-called "master". The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, if Yun Wuya can be convinced, maybe Duan Qifeng will willingly let her go. However, for this worldly master who has never dealt with him, Yan Shuangfei is both very much looking forward to it, but also feeling vaguely uneasy.
The guests came one after another, and when the figures of Liang Xuan and Liang Ye were imprinted into Yan Shuangfei's eyes, she was overjoyed and greeted them with a smile. "You're here too?"
The overjoyed mood made her forget to salute, Duan Qifeng was accompanying Liang Xuan and Liang Ye at this time, and she couldn't help but be a little unhappy when she saw Yan Shuangfei's excited expression.
"The old minister has seen the eldest prince and the second prince." When Duan Zhengxiang saw the two princes, he was excited and frightened, hurriedly bowed down to say goodbye, and whispered to Yan Shuangfei: "Fei'er, how can you be so rude." ”
Yan Shuangfei was stunned, and hurriedly asked for peace. "The concubine has seen the eldest prince and the second prince."
"It doesn't matter." Liang Xuan smiled indifferently and shifted his gaze to Duan Zhengxiang. "Today's Prime Minister's birthday, Xuan and Ye are here to congratulate, may the Prime Minister live longer than Nanshan."
"Thank you, two princes, please take a seat." Duan Zhengxiang greeted happily.
Liang Xuan smiled and followed the prime minister to the guest seat. Liang Ye followed behind, and suddenly turned around and gave Yan Shuangfei an evil smile, Yan Shuangfei opened his mouth in astonishment, but he couldn't say anything.
Duan Qifeng glanced at Yan Shuangfei suspiciously, and asked casually, "Are you familiar with them?" ”
"Nope!" Yan Shuangfei categorically denied it.
Duan Qifeng could see at a glance that Yan Shuangfei was lying, and he didn't bother to debunk her, so he just lightly advised: "The people in the royal family are not as simple as you think, it's best not to have deep friendships." ”
Yan Shuangfei was about to refute, but Duan Qiling came over and said to them with a smile: "Brother, sister-in-law, my father let us go over and sit down." ”
"Well, you go first, and we'll come." Duan Qifeng's face did not change, nor did he look at Duan Qiling, his gaze was still very firmly fixed on Yan Shuangfei's face.
Yan Shuangfei turned his head away, trying not to look at Duan Qifeng. That man's eyes were terrifying, as if he could see everything, and she felt furious when he stared at her. Duan Qiling seemed to have gotten used to Duan Qifeng's coldness, nodded, and didn't forget to smile at Yan Shuangfei in a friendly way, before leaving.
Yan Shuangfei began to wonder if these two people were brothers, and why their personalities were so contrasting.
Yan Shuangfei buried his head and waited for Duan Qifeng's next step. Was he going to reprimand her? He wouldn't even know that she liked Liang Xuan, would he?
Thinking in horror, Yan Shuangfei didn't dare to come out, for fear that something would leak. After being quiet for a long time, Duan Qifeng still didn't speak, Yan Shuangfei finally couldn't help it, raised his head and was about to question, but found that there was no one around him!
Duan Qifeng - gone!
Yan Shuangfei subconsciously looked at the banquet, and saw that Duan Qifeng had already sat in the banquet, and was chatting with Sima Yi beside him very enthusiastically, with a faint smile on his face.
Whatsama situation! Yan Shuangfei took a sip fiercely. Leaving alone without saying a word? The most important thing is...... She is still stupidly standing here waiting for his "next words"?!
Yan Shuangfei's knife-like eyes shot at Duan Qifeng, Duan Qifeng happened to look over this way, and when he met Yan Shuangfei's slightly hideous gaze, he unconsciously burst into a big smile.
Sima Yi looked at Duan Qifeng's sudden smile and followed his gaze with some astonishment.
Duan Qifeng's shameless smile deeply angered Yan Shuangfei, she clenched her fists, and was about to wave at him, but found that Sima Yi looked over here, and the hand she had just raised immediately put it behind her head, pretending to stroke her hair, and barely squeezed out a little smile on her face, which was regarded as greeting Sima Yi.
Yan Shuangfei's series of movements were fully watched by Duan Qifeng, and he couldn't help but grin. Sima Yi was stunned again, what the hell was this couple doing, why couldn't he understand the communication between them at all?
"Sister-in-law, come over quickly!" Sima Yi called with a smile.
Yan Shuangfei picked up a step, overjoyed, hurriedly walked over, and sat down beside Duan Qifeng. Only then did she realize that her table was next to Liang Xuan's table. Liang Xuan and Liang Ye both sat on the upper seat, and in addition to Prime Minister Duan and Duan Qi, there were also some senior officials that Yan Shuangfei didn't know. Even her "father" Yan Chang and "eldest mother" Yan Liu also sat on the seat.
Yan Shuangfei glanced at Liang Xuan, who smiled gently and nodded at her. This scene was captured by Liang Ye, he frowned suspiciously, pursed his lips and laughed again, and leaned into Liang Xuan's ear and said something. Liang Xuan's face darkened, but the corners of his mouth gradually outlined a faint smile.
"......" Yan Shuangfei looked away sullenly, and looked at Duan Qifeng next to him. He was very attentive to chatting with Sima Yi about the so-called "national affairs", and Duan Qiling listened quite seriously on the side.
In the bitter wine banquet, no one paid attention to her......
