Chapter 44: Presenting a Gift in the Hall

"Oh." When Gongye Ziyi heard Ning He's words, he just responded in a low voice and nodded, "You don't want me anymore." ”

As he spoke, a pair of colorful eyes dimmed instantly, and he sat on the chair with his head down, shaking his legs absentmindedly.

Seven years ago, Master Ning He passed away, and they were both sent back home.

In the same year, the prince of King Ning died violently in Beijing, and Qin Long, the Marquis of Wuyang, was transferred to the capital to serve, and Qin Yu also went with his father.

It was the first time they had been separated.

But she didn't feel too much, because Ning He was still there, and she would take her everywhere, running around, feeling high and low, leading eagles and walking dogs, and there was no one to control her.

Five years ago, Ning He was admitted to Xiucai, and he was supposed to go to Fuxue to study, but he didn't make a sound, ran away without a trace, and went to the Zhenbei Army to join the army.

It was also at that time that Master Yan Xia was so angry that his own apprentices didn't care about it, and there was no trace of him.

She searched everywhere, but she couldn't find a close and familiar person, as if she had been abandoned by everyone, and almost didn't tear down her home.

Then she went back to live in Guanli, like a wild child, teasing monkeys and rabbits in the mountains, and her eyes were full of the most familiar things.

It wasn't until a certain stupid cat, with a body injury, that she returned to Guanli with a tooth and brought her back to Beining City, saying that he would write to her every two months, and said that he would come back to see her as soon as he was free, and also told her that Qin Yu returned to Beidi and was in the Zhenbei Army with him, and the three of them were reunited again.

Although we can no longer see each other all the time.

This time, the master left again and handed her over to the second brother to take with her, she was very happy, thinking that she could follow him to lead the eagle and walk the dog again, and play happily.

But she would still leave for many days without seeing anyone, leaving her alone in that small courtyard.

She didn't come to deliver things when she heard that Ning He came back, but as long as Ning He was not in Ying'an, she stayed here every day, and then she met Uncle Han who came to deliver things.

I thought it would be okay like this, but it wasn't like before, I might not be able to see her once in a year or two, at least when the second brother was there, I would accompany her every day.

But I don't want to, it's also a flash in the pan, and after all, I still have to throw herself here again.

"Hey! Huh? Ning He saw her hanging her little head, as if she had lost her soul, put on her clothes and teased her twice, but only saw a pair of stunned raised eyes.

It was like a pair of jewels, covered with a layer of dirt and wood, which made his heart jerk, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and dangled in front of her eyes.

"Sound slave, little sound slave! Don't scare me! Ning He's voice was full of anxiety and worry.

Gongye Ziyi looks like this, it is better to cry and make trouble.

Good boy, why are you stupid?

Gongye Ziyi stiffened with a smile, "Second brother, I'm fine, I'm distracted." ”

Ning He grabbed her head and said hurriedly: "Are you okay??" ”

Then he scratched his ears and cheeks and said: "I just want to ask you, do you want to stay in Ying'an, or go back to Bac Ninh, or go out for a walk with me, are you making such a fuss?" ”

He is indeed cheaply pretentious, but he didn't expect such a situation to appear, and now he just wants to beat himself hard.

"Huh?" Gongye Ziyi stood up suddenly, the sparkle in his eyes quickly recovered, and he looked at Ning He with wide eyes, "Are you willing to take me with you?" ”

Ning He nodded hurriedly, "I said that I won't leave you alone anymore, I must do what I say." ”

Gongye Ziyi pondered, snorted, and turned around, "You can do whatever you say, my aunt and grandmother don't want to lose face." ”

"Gotcha." Ning He saw that this state was really back to his soul, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor again: "Your boss, you can do whatever you want, you let me go east and I will pick up chickens, you let me go north and I will walk the dog, okay." ”

"Okay!" Gongye Ziyi's head was a little smaller, and then he realized that something was wrong, and shouted angrily: "Big civet! You're overdoing it. ”

Ning He's brain collapsed, "Virtue." ”

Then he said: "I won't resign too quickly, there are some things that are official, and it is more convenient to prepare." ”

Gongye Ziyi rubbed his forehead and answered, and said cowardly for a while: "That, there is another matter." ”

Ning He raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and listened to her say again: "Little gourd and her sister, they said that they wanted to see you, they wanted to stay, they said they wanted to repay their kindness, and they are still with me." ”

Scratching his head, Ning He said: "Which door to repay for your kindness, if you have that thought, how good it is for me to earn some silver." ”

He doesn't have the heart to leave people to serve at all, and he still brings a few young and beautiful girls with him?

He's not one of those ointment hakama.

"You're a bit of a shape." Gongye Ziyi glanced at him, and then smirked: "What, her sister is very powerful, it is difficult for me to even take three moves under her hands, if I lose, I will sell you." ”

The last few words were said very quickly, and the bald purr brought it with him.

"Wait a minute!" But how could Ning He be so easy to fool, his eyes widened, "You make it clear, what's wrong with me?" ”

Gongye Ziyi took two steps out, "Then she has to say that she is powerful, and it is not a burden to leave to repay her kindness, can it be useful to you." I made a bet with her, and I tried to compete with her, and if I lost, I had to agree that she would stay and repay the favor and be your bodyguard. ”

Ning He breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his eyes and said, "Yin Nu, don't we know how many catties and taels we have?" ”

"You get out." Gongye Ziyi hurriedly said: "She's just amazing." Two heads taller than me, that strength, almost catching up with you, can send me flying with one punch, what can I do. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to find you a beautiful and powerful thug? ”

For Xiaohulu's sister, Ning He does have some impressions.

A daughter's family is really a little taller than him, and it's hard not to make an impression.

As for how he looked, Ning He didn't take a closer look, at that time, his description was too embarrassing, his clothes were not covered, and he was covered in bruises, and he was embarrassed to stare at people.

"Let's go, let's go and meet, it just so happens that I have made an appointment with Yunyou and them, and I'll go have a drink later." Thinking in his heart, Ning He put on his clothes and tilted his head at Gongye Ziyi.

"Phew! The big color cat, when he heard that people were beautiful, he couldn't sit still. Gongye Ziyi took a bite at him and repaid him with contempt.

Ning He directly grabbed the neck and walked out.

…………

Yongwang Mansion, Yuchi Garden.

In fact, judging from some things, it is no wonder that the emperors of the Great Qin dynasties had the heart to cut the domain.

Just like this Yongwang Mansion, the building regulations are not inferior to the two cities of the palace, and there are some unique places, even better than the Daqin Palace.

Yuchi Garden is such a place, the so-called three waters into the jade pool, the immortals are also dusty, ethereal lingering, it is difficult to distinguish between heaven and man.

The lonely peak in it towers, just like the old pine, with the clouds and mist into the crown, the waterfall is clear, like the water flowing in the sky, the lower accumulation becomes a lake, the perennial hookah curls up, such as the dream fairyland.

The Yongwang of the past dynasties have raised rare birds all over this place, hundreds of species in the forest, and inhabit the lonely peak.

Of course, it is not only the place of banquet, but also has its own temple here, built on the left mountain, majestic and ancient, like the heavenly palace.

Tonight, in this great hall, there is a wide feast, and there are hundreds of seats.

Yongwang Li Yan was dressed in a royal robe, sitting on the top seat, and the protagonist of today's birthday banquet on his side, Princess Chen, was seated with him in a gorgeous costume.

On the left hand side of the two of them, there are a group of juniors in the palace, headed by the prince Li Yan, and thirty-two concubines, the youngest is only four years old, but he is also sitting upright, with a smile on his face.

On the opposite side is also the royal family, headed by Li Yan's brother Hexiao Wang, and more than a dozen of his cousins sit in front, and then there are dozens of relatives sitting in the back.

Further down, on one side sit the nobles and children of various families in the city, as well as a number of celebrities and scholars.

On the other side, there were no less than 100 officials, nobles and generals from all over the Xisi Prefecture who came to congratulate him on his birthday.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone congratulated King Yong and the princess, and a series of good greetings were presented, and Li Ying and the princess also returned with a smile and politeness, without saying more.

After three rounds of wine and one dance, Li Yan and other juniors also came on the stage one after another, personally presenting gifts to the mother concubine to celebrate her birthday, and she was also a mother and son, and the family was happy.

It's about the same, and then it's a normal feast, everyone here can also talk and laugh with each other, and the juniors can also go to Yale to play, and everyone walks around.

However, Zhe Yuan, the head of the palace, quietly walked to Li Yan's side and whispered.

Li Yan's eyes flashed, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he commanded: "Xuan." ”

Zhe Yuan leaned over and took two steps back, looking for a suitable opportunity, and said in a loud voice: "Xuanpu'an County, meet and present!" ”

Under the command of all voices, the room fell silent instantly, and everyone returned to everyone, staring at the entrance of the main hall with frowning eyes.

A boy and a girl, a very handsome man, walking slowly in all directions, with a light smile on his face, graceful demeanor, and a son's appearance like jade, which is indeed excellent.

"Your Majesty Pei Shijia, meet the king, meet the princess. The ministers came to give gifts on the orders of their fathers to congratulate the princess on her half a hundred birthdays. It's just that the road in Beijing is far away, and it is belated, so please forgive the king and the princess. ”

Pei Shijia is also not lacking in etiquette, leaning over and behaving thoughtfully.

Li Yan raised his hand falsely, signaled his flat body, and said: "This king and Yan Guogong are also old friends when they were young, but they have a long way to go, and I don't want Yan Guogong to be so hearted. Come, give a seat. ”

When Zhe Yuan heard the sound, he instructed several chamberlains to temporarily add a desk seat, and his actions were also quick.

However, Pei Shijia did not sit directly, but asked Li Yan for instructions and wanted to present a gift in front of the court.

After receiving permission, more than 100 people carried 50 large boxes into the hall, and opened them one by one, and the jade jewelry was dazzling, shining, and full of rare things.

Let the people at the banquet couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, talking to each other in a low voice, whispering.

However, there were several people who frowned, including Mu Bai, Li Yan and so on.

"Qingshan, why do you look like this?"

Mu Bai's seat was arranged on the side of Liu and Xiao, the two Confucians, because of the change in his complexion, they were all seen by the two of them, and they were still puzzled.

Mu Bai said in a deep voice: "Ninety percent of them are things in Lingnan!" ”

The second elder was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his face was also gloomy, and he snorted angrily.

At this time, Pei Shiyan personally stepped forward and picked up a jade carving in the box and presented it in front of everyone.

The whole body below it is green and ink, the color above is gradually lightening, the color is green, and the carving pattern is also suitable for the material, and a picture of cypress mountain forest is carved impressively.

[Recently, the schedule is irregular, and the update time is also a little messy, and I'm trying to adjust it as soon as possible.] 】
