In the second half of such a feast, everyone can enjoy the singing and dancing at will, and they can also move around at will and get to know each other warmly.

The crown prince Ji Rong had already sat next to the side concubine Zhao Rui'er, and Zhao Rui'er picked up the green vegetables on the table and fed them to the prince's mouth. The latter immediately leaned his head over and ate it with his mouth wide open.

The two looked very affectionate, and the relationship did not seem to be affected by the slippery fetus, just like when they were newly married.

The crown princess Jiang Wanrong sat alone in the seat, taking a sip of wine, and the wine in the brass square in her hand was filled by the palace maid beside her again and again.

He Xuan squinted at Jiang Wanrong, her eyes were deep, her face was thin and haggard. It seems that the only one who is deeply affected by the slippery tire is this innocent princess.

I don't know, did Jiang Wanrong listen to those gossips in the harem to do this, or did it mean that unrighteous man?

Qing'er noticed Hexuan's expression and asked in a low voice, "Princess, do we want to go... ”

Without waiting for Qing'er to finish speaking, He Xuan waved his hand, couldn't help but shake his head, sighed softly, stretched out his hand to pick up a big and round grape, and lowered his head to feed Meng Meng.

In this way, Qing'er didn't say anything more, just stood quietly aside.

"Second princess." A calm and gentle male voice came into He Xuan's ears, and she looked up to see that Qi Hou and a strange man had walked to her seat.

With Qing'er's support, He Xuan slowly stood up and saluted the oncoming two.

Qi Hou and the strange man respectfully replied. I saw that the older man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his long clothes hung down to the ground, the corners of his clothes did not float up in the spring breeze, and the ginger ribbon wrapped around the black hair, and the whole person looked more meticulous than Qi Hou.

"This is my eldest brother Qi Lu, who is seventy-seven out of twenty this year, and this time he came on behalf of my father." Qi Hou introduced slowly, his eyes full of admiration for his eldest brother.

When Emperor Zhou Jue established the Great Zhou Dynasty, in order to reward the meritorious heroes and clans, he was rewarded with a large number of rewards, and the first meritorious hero Qi Shang was in Linzi, and the country was named Qi.

The state of Qi has a high status in the vassal states, and Emperor Zhou Hui, the son of Emperor Zhou Jue, once after the rebellion of the three eunuchs, ordered the Duke of Qi Shang to say: "East to the sea, west to the river, south to Muling, north to Wudi, five marquis and nine uncles, really have to conquer it." It can be seen that Zhou Tianzi of the past dynasties relied on and trusted the Qi State, and the Qi State also got the right to conquer and became a great power. 【1】【2】

He Xuan quietly looked at Qi Lu, and secretly admired in his heart, Prince Qi Zhuang was prosperous, nearly fifty years old, but his health was not good, and he had been sick for a long time. Qi Lu, as the eldest son of King Qi Zhuang, has already managed the affairs of the court on his behalf, so it is no wonder that he has a kingly bearing in his gestures.

"Qi Lu has seen the second princess. I have long heard that the younger brother praised the princess for her bright teeth and bright eyes, wisdom and ingenuity, and what the younger brother said was true. A thin smile appeared on Qi Lu's face, and he said loudly.

He Xuan has long been accustomed to complimenting when he meets, but he glanced at Qi Hou a little unnaturally. With so many princes and princesses sitting here, Qi Houzhi walked in front of her with Qi Lu in a daze, and I don't know how everyone would feel when they saw it.

Qi Hou didn't notice He Xuan's embarrassment, and scratched his head a little embarrassed on the side.

In any case, as a princess, Hexuan has to talk to those noble-born strangers who have been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and it is natural to deal with it.

At the end, Qi Luxiao nodded at Qi Hou and said, "Princess Hexuan is not only naturally beautiful, but also knowledgeable, and she is a role model for women!" The little brother Qi Hou can have the care of the princess in this Great Zhou Palace, which is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes! ”

In addition to Qi Hou, this is the first time that someone has praised He Xuan for being beautiful, which really surprised He Xuan in his heart.

In the previous life, even Mi Xian, who completely deceived all her feelings, even if she was respectful to her, she never praised her as a good-looking woman. And she herself deeply thinks that what makes her outstanding is her talent, and her appearance is just acceptable.

Could it be that Qi Guo's standard for beauty is different from that of Da Zhou's Hojing? Thinking of this, He Xuan himself was about to laugh, so he had to hold back.

However, when it comes to "taking care of it", it seems that the people who have been taken care of all the time are kind and not Qi Hou, right? As for the blessings that have been cultivated in several lifetimes, how did such words pop up?

He Xuan was puzzled in his heart, so he had to turn his questioning eyes to Qi Hou.

Qi Hou reacted this time, pulled Qi Lu's sleeve hard, and said, "Big brother, if you keep talking, we will all blush." ”

"Haha, it's the eldest brother who was negligent. Princess Hexuan, are you still satisfied with my little brother? Qi Lu's face didn't care about the young man's blame, he turned around and continued to ask.

"This... Gongzi is sincere and kind, and he is really a humble gentleman, and everyone in the harem is naturally very satisfied with him. He Xuan pretended not to understand and replied word by word.

"I'm not asking the people in the Great Zhou Palace, I'm asking you, are you satisfied?" The eldest brother is like a father, and Qi Lu is more than the last round older than these two, in his eyes, the young boy and girl in front of him are just two children.

Seeing that this scheming Qi Lu didn't eat her at all, He Xuan was suddenly a little stunned, and the feeling in his heart was like an ant boiling on a hot pot.

"Big brother, you've gone too far." Unlike the aggressive Qi Lu, Qi Hou is always so considerate and never forces anyone to do something he doesn't want to do.

Qi Lu looked at Qi Hou's expression as if he was really angry, so he laughed a few times and said, "It's okay, you are still young." It is a beautiful story for the ages that a lover will eventually become married, and you don't have to be ashamed. The two of you are talented men and women, I think they are very compatible! ”

Qi Lu really regarded himself as Qi Hou's elder, and the more he didn't let him say it, the more he couldn't stop it. Qi Hou had no choice but to secretly stretch out his hand and pull Qi Lu's sleeve again.

Qi Lu seemed to have reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "It's a big deal, this time next year, I will ask Qi Hou to marry at the birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven." ”

As he spoke, Qi Lu smiled and walked into the distance, leaving only Qi Hou to face Hexuan, bowed apologetically, and went to catch up with Qi Lu's footsteps.

The Great Zhou Emperor holds a birthday feast once a year, and all the princes from all over the world come to Hojing to celebrate together, which can be regarded as a slightly extremely important event in this year!
