Chapter 220: Congratulatory Gift
When those noble ladies saw Xiao Xuan's arrival, they greeted her elegantly and generously. Xiao Xuan had no choice but to smile in response, and what embarrassed her was that she didn't know these people at all.
"The emperor has a decree to invite all ladies and young ladies into the palace!"
The eunuch's voice can be regarded as a relief for Xiao Xuan, she followed those noble ladies into the main hall, and when she looked up, there were many officials already seated, and she also saw Chu Yang and Gong Jinting beside Gong Xianrong.
Continuing to look down, Adu was sitting at the bottom of the Jinting, casually playing with the teacup in his hand. Xiao Xuan found that these noble ladies sat next to those officials, maybe they were all the relatives of those officials.
Xiao Xuan walked to Bailidu's side, she actually saw Sang Gu, she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, I don't know when she came back from Jinyangzhou, and I don't know if Di Ting also came back with her!
"Sister-in-law. Sang Gu saw Xiao Xuan call affectionately, and beckoned to her to sit beside her.
When Bailidu saw Xiao Xuan, a charming smile rose on his lips, and he whispered, "Sit next to Sang Gu, this banquet won't last long." ”
Xiao Xuan bowed slightly, crossed Bailidu and sat beside Sang Gu, smiling and whispering to her, they had a lot to say in the past half a year.
Gong Jiang followed behind Xiao Xuan, and when he saw her and Sang Gu Qile happy, he bit his lower lip tightly and hid the hatred in his eyes. Without the general, she didn't know where she would be sitting.
Bailidu's gaze fell on Gong Jiang's body, he hadn't seen her for a long time, it seemed that the blow had a big impact on her, and she looked much more mature than before. Anyway, she was still his wife, and she whispered in a low voice, "Sit down next to Ben General." ”
Gong Jiang was flattered, took a few steps with his skirt and sat down beside him, bowing his head and forehead, "Jiang Er has seen the general." ”
Bailidu hummed lightly, and looked at Xiao Xuan behind him with a sideways face, hoping that she wouldn't mind such an occasion. Today is Gong Xianrong's birthday, the princes and civil and military officials from all over the country came to congratulate him with his relatives, he didn't want Xuan'er to come, but he couldn't stand the coaxing of hundreds of officials, and even Jinting followed.
Later, he also thought that it would not be a bad thing to let Xuan'er integrate into this circle, so he readily agreed. Now that she didn't have too obvious resistance, he was somewhat relieved.
After everyone was seated, the eunuch beside Gong Jinting sang loudly with the male duck in his voice, "The saint has a great birthday, the grace of heaven is mighty, and the whole world celebrates." ”
Except for the Jinting of Bailidu Palace and Chu Yang, the rest of the people all knelt on the mountain and shouted long live.
Gong Xianrong couldn't hide his smile, raised his arms and said loudly, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”
As his words fell, some singers and dancers rushed in, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the beautiful dancers danced to the music, and their graceful posture made people dizzy. Xiao Xuan looked at the luxurious singing and dancing, but she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, she couldn't think of this kind of extravagant life before, but since she came to this world, she has turned into a noblewoman.
After about two teas, Kabuhime retreated, and many ministers presented congratulatory gifts, which were novel and precious. Gong Xianrong ordered the eunuchs around him to record them one by one, and he couldn't close his smiling mouths, and finally found that only Bailidu hadn't given it, Gong Xianrong turned to his direction and asked with a smile, "I don't know what congratulatory gifts General Baili prepared for me?"
Bailidu raised a smile, turned around and whispered a few words to Xiao Han. Xiao Han immediately walked out, and soon, two people came in outside, carrying a large bucket, and it was too far to see what was inside.
Gong Xianrong looked at it intently, he felt that Bailidu would definitely not lose face in front of so many people, and the things he gave away were not priceless, but they must be rare. But when the big bucket was brought closer, Gong Xianrong's chin almost didn't fall off, and it was filled with a bucket of ginger.
Bailidu noticed Gong Xianrong's expression, and a trace of disdain flashed in Moshen's eyes. "Does the emperor know the meaning of this gift?" When the words fell, he knew when he saw Gong Xianrong's expression that he didn't understand at all, so he immediately spoke, "Ben will wish the emperor here to unify the (bucket) Jiang (Jiang) Mountain as soon as possible." When the words fell, the ministers followed one after another, saying auspicious words.
Gong Xianrong resisted the urge to scold, gritted his teeth and said, "It's still General Baili who understands my heart." ”
Bailidu smiled lowly, the corners of his plump lips rose slightly, Gong Xianrong was already mad, this idea was told to him by Xuan'er some time ago. He leaned over and gave her a thumbs up, he knew, she could see it.
Gong Xianrong naturally noticed Bailidu's small action, he suppressed his anger and looked at Chu Yang, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, he asked Chu Yang to help him out of this evil breath.
Chu Yang was wearing a light gray brocade robe today, still shaking his broken fan, receiving Gong Xianrong's gaze, he gave Dong Qiqiao behind him a look, and motioned for him to come forward and talk to Bailidu.
Dong Qiqiao immediately stepped forward and bowed to Bailidu, "My subordinates heard that Mrs. Baili is versatile and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know if I can present a song on the occasion of the emperor's birthday to show respect." ”
As soon as these words came out, His Royal Highness immediately fell silent, if it is about grade, Bailidu's wife is the lady of Zhengyi's order, let his wife perform in public, isn't it the same as slapping him in the face!
Bailidu sat there still silent, turning the wrench on his thumb and was silent, looking at Chu Yang with a deep gaze, and there was a faint slaughter in it. He must have made all the preparations for daring to provoke him like this, but Jinting has not fully grown up, and if he chooses forbearance, he will inevitably incur Gong Xianrong's ridicule.
A hint of a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Dong Qiqiao's mouth, and when he saw that Baili Du was silent, he continued, "Since Mrs. Baili is not suitable to present a song, my subordinates have also heard that there is another woman in the general's mansion who is deeply favored by General Baili, I don't know if I can help the emperor's birthday!"
Hearing him mention Xuan'er, Bailidu's handsome face turned cold, and his sharp eyes looked at Dong Qiqiao, and he just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Xuan. Looking back, she was up.
Xiao Xuan slowly walked to the center of the main hall and said with a warm smile, "I'm afraid the emperor is tired of watching the song and dance performance, the courtiers have a trick, I wonder if the emperor is interested?"
"Since you are willing to help the fun, if I don't look at it, wouldn't I not give General Baili face, go down and prepare. Gong Xianrong waved his hand, looking at Bailidu's gaze, but it was a victor's posture.
