Chapter 96 Birthday Banquet 3
After it got dark, the banquet officially began. Emperor Wu'an and Empress Lin walked in from outside the hall, supporting the empress dowager on the left and right.
Everyone stood up and saluted the three people. The empress dowager kindly asked them to stand up and sit down. After they sat down, Emperor Wu An began to speak.
"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, everyone, please don't be restrained, eat and drink well!"
Emperor Wu An didn't like those polite words, so he just said a few words and then ended it.
All of you have worked under Emperor Wu An for so many years and have attended many banquets, big and small. You know Emperor Wu An's temper and that he doesn't like to talk nonsense.
After listening to Emperor Wu An's polite words, people started giving gifts.
The first person to present gifts was naturally the emperor, followed by the empress and concubines in the harem, then the Princess Xiaoyao and his entourage, and then it was the turn of the prince and his grandchildren, because there would be another happy event this year.
Shen Shixu, Bailixi and Meng Jiyao's gifts were also among the gifts for the grandchildren.
Chen Shixu gave him a white jade statue of Guanyin and 108 Buddhist beads, while Bailixi gave him a health-preserving pill that he made himself, which could nourish the body after taking. Meng Jiyao made the Baifu pearl shirt together with her female students.
After they gave their gifts, the other adults' gifts were also given out one by one, including nearly a thousand-year-old ginseng, a hibiscus jade screen, pink coral ornaments, and Buddhist scriptures handwritten by an enlightened monk...
After these people had presented their gifts, it was the turn of Beirong and Xidi to present gifts. Beirong presented sixty war horses they had raised, ten bottles of collection-level wine, ten yaks, one hundred goats, and one hundred pieces of brightly colored cloth.
The Western Di only sent two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, which was very shabby compared to the Northern Rong and the thought was not enough.
Zhuoer couldn't help but glare at the Beirong envoys, and Aqik glared back, saying, "We all came here to curry favor with them, why are you glaring at me?" I really give you face.
Xidi also knew that his gift was shabby, so Zhuoer stood up and performed their customary salute to Emperor Wu'an, placing his right hand on his shoulder and bowing.
"Respected Emperor Dagan, we came here this time to seek marriage with your country. For this, we are willing to offer our most precious pearl of Xidi - Gesang Zhuoma."
Gesang Zhuoma stood up and saluted Emperor Wu'an, placing her right palm on her left shoulder and bowing.
Emperor Wu An looked at Gesang Zhuoma who had attacked him, his eyes full of anger. When Zhuo Er borrowed it just now, Shen Shixu's thoughts came out.
One is praising and the other is criticizing, and the contrast should not be too obvious.
One said she was the most precious pearl in their Xidi, and the other said it was a buy one get one free deal so if he married her he wouldn't have to buy a hat.
Queen Lin also clenched her fists, her nails digging into the flesh, and looked at Gesang Dolma Hezhuo with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
And this murderous intent almost became reality after hearing what Zhuo Er said next.
"We want to form an alliance with Prince Jing Xiao Jinyi!"
Xiao Jinyi, who was peeling shrimp for Shen Shixu, dropped the shrimp in his hand directly to the ground. He looked at Shen Shixu with frightened eyes.
He quickly explained, "Ah Xu, listen to me, this is just their one-sided thought, it has nothing to do with me. How could I possibly like her? I only want you!"
After expressing his determination to Shen Shixu, Xiao Jinyi questioned Zhuoer and Gesang Zhuoma again, "Are you sick? I have a lover and we are getting married soon. This matter has been widely circulated these days. Do you have donkey hair in your ears? Have you not heard about this matter, or are you doing it on purpose!"
Zhuo Er looked at the furious Xiao Jinyi, his body shrank and he dared not look at him. He only thought about doing ideological work for Emperor Wu'an and Empress Lin.
“Of course we heard about this matter, but the person His Royal Highness Prince Jing married was a man.
I know you guys have a saying that the greatest achievement is to have no descendants, so by doing this, we are also helping you! ”
When Queen Lin heard that Zhuo'er was planning to give the pregnant Gesang Zhuoma to Xiao Jinyi, she wanted to chop them to pieces. Emperor Wu'an held her hand and told her to leave everything to him.
"I'm afraid Prince Zhuo doesn't know much about our Dagan culture. Ah Xu, as this year's new champion, can you explain to Prince Zhuo what this sentence means?"
Shen Shixu understood what my Emperor An was going to do, and since he was given the ladder, he would naturally go down along the ladder.
"Yes, I obey your command!"
Shen Shixu looked at Zhuoer and Gesang Zhuoma with contempt and coldness in his eyes, “Prince Zhuoer, the meaning of having no offspring is not that it is wrong for the younger generation not to have children, its real meaning is that the younger generation has not fulfilled their duties.
The drow prince misunderstood the meaning, and we understand. After all, Xidi was a country that ate raw meat and drank blood, with a shallow cultural heritage. They had not received much education, so naturally their brains were not very good. We understand this very well.
Our great country has a profound cultural heritage and is naturally tolerant. We will not argue with you over such trivial matters.
Just next time, Prince Zhuoer, please don’t use idioms carelessly. This time, we were magnanimous and didn’t bother with you. If someone else heard you use the wrong idiom, they would probably laugh their heads off. ”
After Shen Shixu's words, Zhuo Er and the other Xidi people's faces turned red and blue, and blue and black.
Gesang Zhuoma was a person without much brains, otherwise she would not have decided to arrange a marriage for her and secretly had sex with someone else and got pregnant.
After being ridiculed by Shen Shixu, he went crazy in front of everyone, "My brother just said the wrong thing, do you have to humiliate us like this? You said we are bad, but aren't you just a cheap bastard who relies on your beauty to seduce people?"
Before Shen Shixu could refute, everyone saw a shadow flying out. When they saw clearly, they saw Gesang Zhuoma lying on the side of the hall, holding her chest and spitting blood outside.
Xiao Jinyi couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed out and kicked the man away.
Zhuoer saw how Gesang Zhuoma was treated, and threatened Emperor Wu'an as if he had caught something, "Your Majesty, we are here to celebrate your birthday, how can you treat your guests like this?"
Bailixi stood up and sneered, pointing at Gesang Zhuoma and said, "Guests? Only those who come with gifts out of friendship are guests. How can people like you with wolfish ambitions be guests?
You keep saying that you sent the best pearl from your Xidi, but this pearl clearly has a flaw.
Physical uncleanness is secondary, but as a doctor, I think she is going to have a miscarriage!
The princess sent for marriage is pregnant with a child. Are you, Xidi, here to humiliate us? ”
Baili Xi pointed out that everyone saw a large pool of blood under Gesang Zhuoma's body, which was definitely not vomited. Moreover, they had already known the truth through 011, so they naturally agreed.
Duke Anguo lost his temper and slammed the table and stood up, "You Xidi are playing us for fools, do you want to go to war with Da Gan?"
