Chapter 196: Birthday Gift
How did she unknowingly fall into this man's trap! This national teacher is really cunning......
Isn't it that as a national teacher of the Chu State, he should be busy with official business? How can this person seem to be "playing in the mountains and rivers" every day, and he can meet her.
"Master Guoshi, I'm leaving." Yan Jinxi didn't want to have any more entanglements with him, so she was about to leave under the pretext.
National Teacher Jing Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he didn't speak immediately, he gently stroked the fine black hair in front of Yan Jinxi's forehead, and said, "Do you want the entire Chu State Capital to know that the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to the restaurant to have a private meeting with men?" ”
This Jing Yan opened her mouth to blackmail her, for some reason, reliving a lifetime, Yan Jinxi can easily deal with the various conspiracies of Yan Ningyan and Zhao Lanjun.
But for the man in front of her, she didn't have anything to do, and she was like this in her previous life, although she was the queen of Chu, she couldn't help him.
"Hmm." Yan Jinxi reluctantly responded.
"I haven't frolicked enough, you can frolic with me for a while." The national teacher said, his face was calm, and there was no unnaturalness at all.
Yan Jinxi: "......"
I don't know if the neighbors know that the first son in the world is such a person, she thought to herself.
"The young man in white was really handsome."
"Isn't it? Looking at the capital of Qi State, it is difficult to find someone who can compare with it. ”
……
Yan Jinxi didn't pay attention to it, just some boring women.
However, Yan Jinxi could clearly feel that everyone else in the restaurant was secretly looking at her, their eyes were full of envy, and finally Yan Jinxi couldn't help but glance at Jing Yan.
"Have you seen enough?" Jing Yan said coldly, his face was not happy or angry.
"I ......," Yan Jinxi choked for a while.
She didn't want to stay here for a moment, and walked straight outside.
"Stop, I'm not something you can see if you don't want to, three days later will be Mrs. Yan's birthday."
Yan Jinxi: "......"
After many days of operation up and down the Yan Mansion, Mrs. Yan's birthday is just around the corner.
In Xilan Garden, Yan Jinxi was frowning, although she was the concubine of the Yan Mansion, she should also prepare a decent birthday gift for the old lady of the Yan family.
"Xiaobai, Yu'er, what gift do you think I should prepare for the old lady?" She racked her brains and thought for a full quarter of an hour, still to no avail, and finally asked.
Yu'er: "Miss, how about giving the old lady a pair of handmade shoes?"
Xiaobai also echoed on the side: "Miss, Yu'er is right, the old lady has been in the limelight for decades, what kind of treasures have not been seen, and now that she is old, what she cares about is the hearts of the young ladies, not how much it is worth." ”
The suggestion of the two maids made Yan Jinxi think for a moment, it is true, but on top of the birthday gift, if you give a pair of shoes, it seems to be too inconspicuous.
"It is true, but these shoes should be replaced with brocade clothes."
……
In just two days, Yan Jinxi made a brocade dress with the assistance of two maids.
It's just that Xilan Yuan used brocade clothes as a birthday gift, and it soon reached Yan Ningyan's ears.
Just the day before the birthday of the high-profile old lady of the Yan family, in Xilan Garden.
"Fourth Miss, the emperor and the queen have come to our Prime Minister's Mansion, and Mrs. Yan asked all the young masters and young ladies in the mansion to go to the gate of the main mansion to greet them." At this time, the maid Xiaobai came to report.
"Okay."
At this time, Fu Yuyin had long since lost the panic she had shown in the National Teacher's Mansion a few days ago, she had already thought that tomorrow would be the birthday gift of the old lady of the Yan family, Yan Jinxi was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was also in line with the rules to go back to the house to visit.
As for Shen Luo's accompaniment...... is a good Shen Luo, Fu Yuyin remembers that in her previous life, when she first became Shen Luo's queen, she went back to Fu's house by herself, and Shen Luo sometimes accompanied her.
It wasn't until later, when Shen Luo destroyed the Fu family, that Fu Yuyin realized that these were just to paralyze the Fu family and numb her, and after the Fu family relaxed their vigilance, so as to eradicate the Fu family in one fell swoop, she sneered in her heart.
Then Yan Jinxi just cleaned up briefly, and went to the gate of the house, and when she arrived, the old lady and the prime minister and others had already arrived.
"Yo, you Yan Jinxi is a concubine, and you want us to wait for you on such an important occasion." Yan Ningyan still did not forget to squeeze Yan Jinxi at this time.
In fact, Yan Jinxi didn't know that this was Yan Ningyan or Mrs. Yan deliberately obstructing her, and she was notified a long time late, in order to make her make a fool of herself in front of the emperor Shen Luo and be blamed by Shen Luo.
Yan Jinxi: "Second sister, my Xilan Garden is a remote place, far away from this mansion, and it is understandable that I came late, and the emperor did not come." ”
"Ning Yan, that's enough, don't talk about it, where is the appearance of the Prime Minister's Mansion who is chattering all day long." Mrs. Yan saw that her daughter Yan Ningyan was at a disadvantage again, so she stopped her from talking again.
Old Madam Yan looked at these sharp lips on her face, and the corners of her eyes obviously revealed a bit of helplessness.
At this time, an eight-foot-long man walked in outside the gate of the mansion, this person was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a crown and hair, and a woman dressed ceremoniously stood beside him.
This man is the current emperor of Chu State, Shen Luo, and the woman is the queen Yan Ziran.
Yan Jinxi lowered her head and knelt down with everyone.
After some complicated etiquette, Shen Luo and Yan Ziran were welcomed to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the huge main hall was enough to accommodate the Yan family and Shen Luo.
"Prime Minister Yan, this time to eradicate the Fu family, the Yan family and the queen have made great contributions, and the rewards of the Yan Mansion will continue in the future." After Shen Luo took a casual drink, he began to say proudly.
Yan Jinxi obviously noticed that when Shen Luo said the words "eradicate the Fu family", the corners of his mouth were obviously raised, and his face was full of pride, as if he had established some eternal feat.
Although her heart was like a knife, she suppressed her emotions and didn't let Shen Luo and Yan Ziran notice her.
"Your Majesty, there is a new dancer in the courtier's mansion, with a graceful figure and moving dancing posture, and a new dance has been rehearsed, please enjoy it."
"Wonderful, wonderful."
……
After a dance, Shen Luo was still unsatisfied.
This dancing girl is really extraordinary, Shen Luo's two eyes stared at her directly, and she couldn't help but think about it.
"Your Majesty, if you like it, how about this dancing lady to give you."
"It's still the prime minister who understands my thoughts." Shen Luo smiled.
Yan Jinxi sneered in her heart, after this Yan Ziran is a country, does she need to send a woman into the palace at home to consolidate her position?
She observed all these masters with some status present, and it seemed that only Shen Luo was in the dark.
Yan Ziran obviously knew the intentions of the family and did not show displeasure.
"Old Madam Yan, tomorrow is your birthday, and I won't be here then, and the queen will attend." Shen Luo looked at Mrs. Yan who was sitting in the hall and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty......" The first thing to thank was that the woman in Shen Luo's arms, Yan Ziran, had a very charming voice.
Fu Yuyin snorted coldly in her heart, this Yan Ziran was really as charming and vicious as in her previous life...... She and Shen Luo are really a raccoon dog.
"Your Majesty is very loving, but the old body is just a woman, how dare you bother the emperor to run again." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yan resigned.
"The old lady is right, if I come, you will be very restrained, let the queen participate alone." Shen Luo perfectly got down the steps given by the old lady.
As soon as these words came out, the most embarrassing thing was Yan Ziran, for a while, Yan Ziran's face was very pale, and because of his identity, he didn't say much.
Shen Luo gained a lot from this trip, and after getting the dancing girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't wait to take her back to the palace.
Old Madam Yan sighed deeply, just today's conversation, she found that Yan Ziran's favor was a little unreliable.
"Grandmother, sister, when will I be as dazzling as my sister?" Yan Ningyan's words were full of envy.
Yan Ziran praised Yan Ningyan: "Second sister, among the official ladies in this capital, you are also extremely outstanding, are you still worried that there is no dazzling day?" ”
Yan Jinxi didn't say a word, looking at them quietly, she was already full of holes and moody.
"Ning Yan, when will you be as steady as your fourth sister?" The old lady sighed, "You are not as smart as your eldest sister, and you are not as stable as your fourth sister, so you have to experience slowly." ”
"Your grandmother is right, she is much like your sister in studying." Mrs. Yan Zhao Lanjun echoed the old lady's words.
"Grandmother...... Am I just like that? Yan Ningyan was coquettish to the old lady for a while, and at the same time, her cruel eyes had already glanced at Yan Jinxi who was standing on the side.
……
In the end, several people went back to their own gardens, and the Yan family prepared an extremely luxurious residence for Yan Ziran alone-Ziran Pavilion.
Finally arrived on Mrs. Yan's birthday, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively.
The powerful officials of the Chu dynasty were on the guest list.
Prime Minister Yan and his wife Zhao Lanjun, that is, the head of the Yan family, stood at the gate of the mansion and greeted one guest after another.
At this time, a man came to the door of the house, this person was dressed in a black brocade robe, with a jade crown and bundled hair, a high nose bridge, and his thin lips looked a little charming, and he really deserved to be the most handsome man in this Chu country.
"National teacher, please come in, my lord, you can come to my house, it is really brilliant, and it is an honor for the lower officials." When Yan Cheng saw this national teacher Jing Yan coming, he quickly stepped forward and nodded his head.
"Well, it's a birthday gift." The national teacher Jing Yan didn't pay much attention to the long-sleeved and dancing Prime Minister Yan, and walked straight into the mansion under the greeting of the people of the Yan Mansion.
The dignitaries who came to the banquet were prepared with birthday gifts worth thousands of gold, and the banquet had already been set up outside the main hall of the Yan family, and the old lady who sat in the middle of the main hall was the old lady of the Yan family.
And next to the old lady, sitting is the current queen Yan Ziran.
Mrs. Yan's birthday ceremony officially began, and the old lady sat on it and said some words, and then the steps were to bow down to the old lady one by one, and at the same time send the birthday gift prepared for Mrs. Yan in front of everyone.
Yan Jinxi walked outside the main hall with the brocade box, she just looked around the guest banquet slightly, and noticed this national teacher Jing Yan, he was so dazzling in the crowd, so dazzling that others could recognize him at a glance.
