Chapter 33: You can't refute face
"Prime Minister Xiao, why don't you see Mrs. on today's birthday?"
Suddenly, I don't know who suddenly asked such a sentence during the banquet, and the originally lively banquet suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their curious eyes to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, who was sitting in the first place.
Today is Prime Minister Xiao's birthday, and it is really a bit unreasonable that Mrs. will be absent on such an important day.
The people at the banquet looked at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng with their eyes, and they were surprised! There is confusion! Of course, there is no shortage of good shows......
Once you sit in a high position, you must always be cautious in your words and actions, after all, there are many pairs of eyes behind you who are staring at you all the time.
If someone accidentally grabs the handle, even if it is a trivial matter, it can be exaggerated and ridiculed.
"The inner man was unwell, so he rested in the inner courtyard."
Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said lightly on the surface, but he was annoyed in his heart.
For such an important scene, Li Yuhua broke his jaw and couldn't attend, as Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's wife, in the eyes of outsiders, this is too bad for Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.
"Oh? Feeling unwell? Even on such an important occasion as Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's birthday banquet, it seems that Prime Minister Xiao and his wife are really in love! ”
This clear-eyed person knows that these words are obviously changing Fang Er's ridicule for Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's lack of status in the mansion! Not even a woman can sway.
"yes, yes! The prime minister and his wife are really in love! ”
The people around him also chimed in with him.
Prime Minister Xiao naturally heard the meaning of these words, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Xiao Ruoxi raised his eyes and swept around, and saw that these people who were attached were nothing more than courtiers with official positions under his father.
And those high-status princes only drank wine by themselves, and they didn't care about these people at all.
Of course, there is an exception to this!
Chu Xiuyi was holding his chin in one hand at the moment, watching all this with interest, completely looking like he was watching a good show.
Xiao Ruoxi couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, no wonder Chu Xiuyi didn't receive the invitation and had to come cheekily, he was bored in his own house with this product, so he deliberately came to see the excitement!
"Go, invite Madame out."
Prime Minister Xiao Cheng glared at the group of people who were coaxing below, gritted his teeth and instructed the little guy behind him, no matter what, he also had to save his face, but he couldn't let this group of rabble see the joke and fall into their hands.
"Yes."
The little guy was about to leave.
"Wait......"
However, at this time, Xiao Ruoxi suddenly stood up and stopped the little guy with a voice.
In the current situation, if Li Yuhua does not appear, she will refute Prime Minister Xiao's face, but if she appears with that broken face, it will be even more embarrassing.
Anyway, today's disaster can be regarded as caused by her, and she has to save face for her father, and she can't let these people make a joke about her father.
Xiao Ruoxi's voice, just now everyone who was waiting to watch the play turned their eyes to her, and even Chu Xiuhan stared at her with those slightly puzzled eyes, not understanding what she was going to do.
As we all know, the second lady of the Xiao family is a concubine, she has been arrogant and arrogant since she was a child, and she is quite unreasonable, after marrying into the Han Palace, His Royal Highness the Han King would rather spoil a concubine than look at her more.
They want to see what kind of storm such a woman can set off.
And Chu Xiuyi, at this moment, also looked at her with a smile but not a smile, he wanted to see what surprise this woman would bring him this time.
Even Chu Xiuran and Chu Xiuyan, who had been staying out of the matter from beginning to end, looked up at her in surprise at this moment.
Under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, Xiao Ruoxi was inevitably a little nervous, but she still forcibly suppressed the tension in her heart, and the lotus step moved lightly, slowly walking towards the center of the entire banquet.
"Ruoxi? What are you...... Is there something wrong? ”
Prime Minister Xiao looked at his little daughter and asked with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Ruoxi walked to the center of the banquet, stood still, looked up at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng above, and said:
"Daddy, since the eldest mother is unwell, let the eldest mother rest in the house! Otherwise, if there is a mistake at that time, it should be distressed, not your father's ......"
At the moment, Xiao Ruoxi said very emotionally, since these people laughed at their father's deep affection, then they fulfilled their wish and staged a drama of deep love between husband and wife with them!
As soon as Prime Minister Xiao heard Xiao Ruoxi's words, he knew that he was looking for a step to go down, so he knew it at that time, and instructed the little guy behind him:
"Go to the kitchen to stew some supplements, and send them to Mrs. when the time comes, and besides, let people serve Mrs. well."
Xiao Chengxiang cooperated with Xiao Ruoxi to perform this play more perfectly.
"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng really loves his wife!"
Below, there was another exclamation, Xiao Ruoxi knew that this topic had to be ended as soon as possible, otherwise, these people would be endless.
Then he looked up at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, smiled mischievously, and said:
"Daddy, today is your birthday, my daughter is not filial, so I hereby prepare a small gift for my father, and I hope that my father will accept it with a smile."
When Prime Minister Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
"Oh? Ruoxi also prepared a gift for Daddy, come, let Daddy see, what a treasure! ”
"The gift prepared by Princess Han for the prime minister must be worth a lot of money......"
"Yes, yes, it must be a generous gift......
……
Sure enough, everyone's focus was successfully diverted by Xiao Ruoxi, the corners of Xiao Ruoxi's mouth hooked a faint arc, took a step forward, raised his hand easily, and said solemnly:
I wish you a blessed life and a happy birthday! Every year there is today, every year has today! Congratulations, congratulations! I wish you an old man like a pine and a cypress, a little like a Zhilan, a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan!
"I wish my father good fortune like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, and longevity and ...... of heaven"
After offering the birthday song, Xiao Ruoxi clasped his hands together and congratulated Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.
"Hahahaha...... Okay, what a blessing and heavenly Qi! The little girl really has a heart. ”
After listening to Xiao Ruoxi's birthday song, it is obvious that Prime Minister Xiao is in a good mood.
At first, when he heard that Xiao Ruoxi had prepared a gift for him, he thought it was nothing more than some common precious objects!
Unexpectedly, his daughter prepared such a play for him, which was really the best gift he received on his birthday this year.
Seeing Prime Minister Xiao Cheng smiling so happily, Xiao Ruoxi also smiled sweetly and said:
"If Daddy likes it, it's fine."
After saying that, he turned back to his place and sat down.
"It's a little bit of a joke, but it's also a different taste......
As soon as Xiao Ruoxi's ass sat down, such an unhurried voice sounded beside him.
