Volume 1 Chapter 38 The Birthday Banquet Begins

"He can't see here, why should I salute him?" Xiang Yun asked matter-of-factly.

"But...but he is Prince Bingjian."

"I know……"

"Then how dare you not be polite?"

"Haha... I came here to eat when I gave him a gift. How could I have time to kneel down and salute him?"

"Uh..." After hearing Xiang Yun's words, Yue Jing's thoughts were a little confused. The words of brother Wei in front of him were indeed a bit deviant and audacious.

Yue Jing tried to persuade Xiang Yun: "Brother Wei, the prince is the God of War of our Fengyun country. He has fought for our country in the north and south and quelled rebellions. Without the prince, our country would not be able to live and work in peace and contentment. You should still kneel down."

I’m going to bow down.”

Xiang Yun sneered when he heard this: "Give him a salute? He doesn't deserve it!" When Xiang Yun said this, he secretly said to himself: "At least he doesn't deserve to be a qualified father."

"Ouch...!"

When Yue Jing heard this, he was so frightened that the wine glass in his hand dropped on the table, and all the wine spilled out. The latter didn't have time to care about it, and stretched out his hand to stop Xiang Yun's mouth.

"Brother Wei, don't talk nonsense, this is the royal palace!" Yue Jing's eyes widened with fear, and he said extremely seriously. At the same time, he did not forget to look around to see if anyone else had heard him.

Compared to Yue Jing, who looked nervous as if facing a formidable enemy, Xiang Yun waved his hand very calmly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Brother Yue feels like he is at his own home. Just relax."

When Yue Jing heard this, he felt angry and funny in his heart, and thought to himself: "You still regard this place as your own home. This is the palace of King Bingjian. Who allows you to treat it as your own home? Do we have this qualification?"

"Hey...that's all, Brother Wei, I think you are probably drunk and started talking nonsense. Let's not talk about this and talk about other things."

Yue Jing quickly changed the subject and chatted with Xiang Yun, never mentioning anything related to the palace, for fear that this fearless master would say something treacherous and get into trouble for nothing!

When talking about other things, Yue Jing immediately realized that Brother Wei in front of him was truly extraordinary, and it was the first time he had seen such a high level of vision.

Whether it is the masterpieces of operas in Fengyun Kingdom, or the hard secrets in temples, the anecdotes in the rivers and lakes, or even the secrets in the houses of Fengyue, Xiang Yun is all open to speak, and he knows every treasure!

What a wonderful person indeed.

Not to mention that the two of them were drinking and chatting quite harmoniously in the corner outside the courtyard, but after Wang and his party entered the Chunlai Pavilion, Butler Lin of the house respectfully led them straight to the second floor. Along the way, Xiang Jinghong first

I glanced left and right in the lobby on the first floor and saw no sign of Xiang Yun. I immediately searched for Xiang Yun on the second floor and couldn't find Xiang Yun.

Xiang Jinghong whispered to Butler Lin who was leading the way: "Butler Ling, why didn't you see your third brother? Could it be that he hasn't arrived yet?"

Butler Hu was stunned when he heard this, and then replied truthfully: "For the second son, the younger prince has already arrived at Chunlai Pavilion, but there is no place for the second son in Chunlai Pavilion. I think the second son should be sitting outside the garden."

Hearing this, Xiang Jinghong couldn't help but frowned, and said with a cold expression: "Nonsense! How can it be that the third brother doesn't have a position! I'm afraid you are mistaken!"

Butler Hu lowered his head in embarrassment but said nothing more, but his meaning was obvious. This matter was obviously not what Butler Lin meant, and he did not dare to arrange Xiang Yun outside Chunlai Pavilion.

Xiang Jinghong seemed to understand somewhat when he saw this, but there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes!

"I'm going to find my second brother!" Xiang Jinghong turned around and prepared to go downstairs.

"Jinghong."

At this moment, Xiang Lingtian's calm and calm voice came from the front.

"Father?" Xiang Jinghong turned to Xiang Lingtian. "You and Jinglei, take good care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess, and don't neglect your brothers and sisters." Xiang Lingtian glanced at Xiang Jinghong and said, He said pointedly.

Xiang Jinghong instantly understood his father's intention, which was to save him from bringing his third brother. Although Xiang Jinghong was puzzled and even a little dissatisfied, he still did not dare to go against his father's wishes. Great, even if he is now a loyal general of the imperial court, he is still like this.

Now everyone was seated, and Xiang Lingtian took the seat at the head of the table without hesitation. Prince Xiang Qian and Princess Xiang Feier were beside him.

Both of them are worth a lot of money, and their status here is second only to the side by side king. Below them are the tall and majestic silver-haired old man, and the skinny old man with fair skin. They are actually sitting on Xiang Jinghong and Xiang Jinglei. head.

In this regard, the two princes, Xiang Jinghong and Xiang Jinglei, were not dissatisfied at all, because the status of these two old men could definitely afford this seat.

The skinny old man's name is Wang Wenjing, and he is the left prime minister of the Fengyun Kingdom and the head of the officials. The tall, silver-haired old man is named Wan Bing, and he is the current military marshal of the Fengyun Kingdom.

Two of them, one civil and one military, are the leaders of the civil and military officials of Fengyun Kingdom. Such two important ministers actually came together with the crown prince and princess of Fengyun Kingdom to congratulate the King of Side by Side. Although there are only four of them, their weight is far beyond that of ordinary people. Imagine.

Since ancient times, there has been no contact between vassal kings and powerful ministers. This has always been a royal prohibition. However, the Emperor of Fengyun Kingdom directly sent the head of the civil and military officials to congratulate King Bingbian on his birthday. This shows that His Majesty the Emperor has great respect for the king. How much I value and trust my brother!

In addition to these people, there are nine most powerful county guards among the seventeen counties in the northwest sitting at the bottom. These people used to be powerful and in charge of a county, just like the governors in Xiang Yun's previous life. , sitting at the bottom of the table at this moment, not only are they not dissatisfied, but they also feel that it is their honor to be able to share the same table with these characters!

This Xiaochunlai Pavilion is just a round table, but it has gathered people who can dominate the entire northwest power and even influence the entire Fengyun Kingdom!

"Everyone, today is my king's forty-fifth birthday. I didn't want to celebrate too much, but I couldn't bear your hospitality. I'm setting up a banquet today to express my gratitude. I hope everyone can enjoy it!"

Standing beside Wang Xiang Lingtian like a scribe in white, he stood up with a wine glass in hand and looked at everyone. His voice was gentle and steady. The volume was not high but it resounded throughout the Xingtan Garden and outside, as if he was whispering in everyone's ears.

In an instant, everyone stood up respectfully. Whether inside or outside the Chunlai Pavilion, only a young man outside the corner of the west courtyard still turned a blind eye and continued to eat meat and drink. He ignored his voice and ignored the black-faced man quietly tugging at the corner of his clothes!

With a glass of wine, the entire birthday banquet has completely begun. The royal palace's birthday banquet is of high standard, and the table is full of fine wines and dishes. You have never seen it in some big restaurants. I heard that the palace has prepared this banquet.

For the birthday banquet, the best chefs in Dragon City and half of the royal chefs in the palace were invited in advance. The dishes cooked were top notch in terms of taste and appearance!

The wines that the palace entertains guests are all good wines. They are all made by winemakers from Shuiyue Kingdom in the eastern part of Fengyun Kingdom. They are brewed with water from natural moon springs. They have an elegant and mellow aroma, a refreshing and sweet taste, and a long aftertaste.

The best wine!

With such good wine and delicious food, as well as the stunning scenery of the Apricot Altar Garden covered with snow, all the guests naturally enjoyed themselves very much. They felt that this was a feast of sight and taste.

It is worth mentioning that an open-air attic extends from the second floor of Chunlai Pavilion. The large rectangular stage on which performances are performed can be watched by everyone in the Xingtan Garden. Of course, the second floor of Chunlai Pavilion is the best place to watch.

Location.

On the stage at this moment, there are musicians invited from the northern Bamboo Sound Kingdom and dancers from the Shuiyue Kingdom performing singing and dancing performances!

A group of musicians from the Bamboo Sound Kingdom played melodious melodies with superb skills and tacit understanding, while the dancers from the Shuiyue Kingdom were tall, with soft curves and light postures. They wore gauze as thin as cicada wings, and every dance was

Let the light gauze fit tightly, and the water sleeves will fly, revealing your perfect curves without a doubt!

Coupled with the exotic and beautiful face, and the expressions that are sometimes coquettish, sometimes shy, sometimes catering, and sometimes distant, the people watching the dance can't help but stop drinking and throwing chopsticks, and their heartstrings are tightened, and they follow up and down.

Jump and indulge in it!

After dancing to the song, all the guests burst into applause and cheers kept coming!

Wonderful programs were staged in turn, and there were cheers on and off the stage, making it a lively and festive scene.

At this moment, on the second floor of Chunlai Pavilion, everyone was also laughing and joking. Xiang Lingtian raised a glass to express his gratitude to the distinguished guests present. At the same time, Prince Xiang Qian and Princess Xiang Fei'er also frequently toasted to their uncle, representing their father and emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor expressed his concern and blessings to Xiang Lingtian.

When Xiang Lingtian heard the blessings from his brother brought by the two of them, his originally calm demeanor was slightly moved, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Time flies so fast. I didn't expect that we brothers have been guarding Fengyun Kingdom for more than 20 years. You two little guys who couldn't even walk at the beginning have now grown up. It seems that we are already old.

Already..."

"Uncle Emperor, you are now in your prime. The so-called prime of life is the pillar of the country. How can you say you are old!"

Prince Xiang Qian shook his head repeatedly, quite flatteringly, and of course he was telling the truth. Although he is now in his mid-forties, looking at his face, he looks like a handsome man who has just turned thirty.

Hearing this, Xiang Lingtian smiled indifferently, and said to Xiang Qian like a kind elder from an ordinary family: "You are still as glib as you were when you were a child, but your frivolous and unruly problems have improved a lot. When you were in Longcheng,

That’s right too.”

When Xiang Qian heard this, the two sword-shaped eyebrows on his handsome face twitched slightly, and his eyelids twitched for no reason. Suddenly he remembered everything he experienced in Yincheng three years ago, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, of course. Ever since you taught me my nephew, my nephew has changed his ways and no longer dares to be arrogant and rude."

Wang Wenjing, the left prime minister, also smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Yincheng once three years ago. After returning to Longcheng, he seemed to be a changed person. Not only his temper was restrained, but his mood was also much calmer. It seems that your words, Your Majesty, It’s better than me teaching the prince for ten years.”

Wang Wenjing was the left prime minister of the dynasty. He was born through the imperial examination in the past. He went from the provincial examination to the general examination and then to the palace examination. If Shangguan Yunde had not killed Shangguan Yunde in the middle and took away the number one scholar in the palace examination, then he would have been able to It was a great story about winning three yuan in a row, which Wang Wenjing once regretted.

However, now that Wang Wenjing is the left prime minister, he has overshadowed the right prime minister Shangguan Yunde in terms of official position.

Moreover, Wang Wenjing was appointed by the emperor as the prince's tutor ten years ago. As the prince's teacher, he taught the prince Xiang Qian literary etiquette and national affairs. In public, the two acted as ministers and princes, but in private they acted as teachers. Disciples are worthy of each other.

In his early years, Wang Wenjing felt that his disciple was too arrogant and had an arrogant temperament and did not take anyone seriously. He tried many times to educate and improve this problem, but it never worked.

Unexpectedly, the prince went to Yincheng three years ago to celebrate the birthday of King Bingjian. After returning, he stayed in the East Palace for several months.

Wang Wenjing thought that the prince had become more unwilling to learn, and he was feeling worried and dissatisfied. Suddenly one day, the prince personally visited him, respectfully invited him back to the East Palace, and asked him to impart knowledge.

Wang Wenjing was a little confused at first. He didn't know why the Crown Prince suddenly became so respectful, courteous, humble and orderly. He thought that the Crown Prince was just worried and went to complain to His Majesty the Emperor, just for show. He never thought that Xiang Unexpectedly, this 'pretend' has never changed again.
