"Good! Good! Good!" Helian Rong exclaimed "good" several times in a row, showing how satisfied he was with his granddaughter-in-law, Duanmu Junyu.
Helian Rong looked at Duanmu Junyu and Xuanyuan Zhan with excitement, nodding repeatedly with emotion: "I have done a great job hosting this birthday banquet. I have not been as happy as I am today since Yu'er passed away!"
Helian Rong happily instructed Yuan Xian: "Add a few seats next to me and invite our distinguished guest to take his seat."
"Yes," Yuan Xian replied, and then went to get busy.
Duanmu Junyu said, "Don't be in such a hurry, we haven't given out our birthday gifts yet!"
Duanmu Junyu clapped her hands at the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast understood and raised its head, opening its mouth to spit out a large box.
Everyone present was stunned again, staring at the large box in disbelief, feeling as if they were dreaming.
Are they seeing things? This Vermilion Bird mythical beast can not only breathe fire, but also spit out boxes.
To everyone's astonishment, one large red box after another was vomited out, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast only stopped after vomiting out more than a dozen boxes.
Duanmu Junyu stepped forward and casually opened a box. The box was filled with gold and silver jewelry, which instantly dazzled everyone present.
Duanmu Junyu looked at Helian Rong and said, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring much with me. Knowing it's your birthday, I specially asked the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast to fly back and get it. This is a birthday gift for you. I hope you won't find it too much."
As soon as Duanmu Junyu finished speaking, Xuanyuan Zhan chimed in, "I also prepared some things casually."
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at the Xuanwu Divine Beast, which also opened its mouth and brought out more than a dozen large boxes. Compared to what Duanmu Junyu had prepared, Xuanyuan Zhan had two fewer boxes.
Given the seniority system, he couldn't bypass his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Actually, he hadn't prepared anything. It was his mother-in-law who asked the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast to go back and retrieve the treasures. He also tried to communicate with the Black Tortoise Divine Beast, and to his surprise, the Black Tortoise Divine Beast actually agreed. That's how he ended up with these dozen or so boxes of treasures as a birthday gift.
After the Xuanwu Divine Beast finished vomiting, Xuanyuan Zhan opened a box: "I only found out about your birthday at the last minute, so I didn't prepare anything special for you. I hope you don't mind."
This person had over a dozen boxes of gold and silver jewelry, which wasn't particularly rare, but the amount spent was definitely very generous.
How could Helian Rong possibly complain? He quickly smiled and said, "I'm already very happy that you've all come, let alone that you've prepared so many birthday gifts. How could I possibly complain? Please take a seat!"
Yuan Xian originally wanted to place two more seats next to Helian Rong, but Helian Ci told him not to. He and Duanmu Junyu went up and sat with Su Yun'an.
Xuanyuan Zhan then stepped forward and sat down with Su Xuening.
The whole family sat neatly on either side of Helian Rong, with Xiao Bao still sitting in Helian Rong's lap, making Helian Rong grin from ear to ear.
Helian Rong talked to Duanmu Junyu and Xuanyuan Zhan from time to time, and he didn't forget the little baby in his arms, teasing the baby from time to time.
Helian Rong had already developed a fondness for Xiao Bao because of his love for Xiao Bao, and knowing that Xiao Bao could summon the Xuanwu divine beast, he liked Xiao Bao even more.
They haven't even summoned their Northern Wei's Azure Dragon Divine Beast yet. If Xiao Bao could summon their Northern Wei's Azure Dragon Divine Beast, he could close his eyes in peace!
It must be said that Helian Rong's birthday banquet was both breathtaking and exceptionally joyful.
Xuan Yuanrong above was happy, but Xuan Yuanzheng and the others below felt extremely uncomfortable watching the group chatting happily above.
Now, their family is reunited.
The old man has a grandson, a great-grandson, and a great-great-grandson. How could he not be happy?
The three of them were in a tough spot. Originally, Helian Ci was not a threat at all. Even with the old man's help, they would never compromise so easily and would never let him get past them so easily.
But now this strange thing has happened. Not only did Helian Ci marry the Empress of Western Liang, but their daughter also married the Emperor of Eastern Chu.
This is outrageous!
If Xiliang and Dongchu were to join forces, what chance would they have?
Helian Zheng and Helian Jun exchanged a glance, both with worried expressions.
Not to mention these three, everyone else in the hall seemed to foresee the outcome of this struggle, and they all toasted Su Renzhong and the others, trying to get closer to him.
Even many members of the three princes' factions couldn't help but step forward to flatter them.
There was nothing they could do; the northern border of this imperial grandson was so powerful that they simply couldn't contend with it. What else could they do but compromise?
Su Renzhong was easy to talk to, and he accepted almost every toast offered by these people, thus becoming one of them.
You should know that although Su Renzhong went to court every day before, he had no one in the court who supported him. Now, in just the time it takes to hold a birthday banquet, it seems that he has won over a lot of people.
This finally made Su Renzhong no longer feel isolated and helpless in Northern Wei.
He Ranrong saw these changes and was extremely gratified.
The appearance of the Empress of Western Liang and the Emperor of Eastern Chu seems to have made things much easier.
This birthday banquet was a mixed bag of joy and sorrow.
After the birthday banquet, Helian Rong specially arranged a guest residence for Duanmu Junyu and Xuanyuan Zhan, but the two refused, saying that it was more appropriate for them to live in the East Palace with Su Renzhong.
Helian Rong naturally had no objection and instructed Yuan Xian to escort them to the Eastern Palace.
Su Renzhong drank quite a bit tonight and was somewhat drunk.
Duanmu Junyu was able to go back with him to take care of him.
Su Xuening then followed Helian Rong back to Changshou Palace.
The treatment is not over yet; I will have to continue receiving treatment today.
Because of the treatment Su Xuening gave him yesterday, he felt much better today.
So when Su Xuening was going to treat him today, Helian Rong didn't even wait for her instructions before taking off his clothes and lying down on the bed.
Su Xuening chuckled, picked up the silver needles, and began to administer acupuncture to Helian Rong.
The first few needle pricks were a bit painful, but Helian Rong closed his eyes and endured it: "Girl, why did you decide to study medicine?"
Previously, that boy Ci'er had at least become a general in Eastern Chu. Why would the daughter of a general want to study medicine? In Northern Wei, only men studied medicine.
Su Xuening raised her eyebrows and said, "I met a very good master. He saw that I had a talent for medicine, so he secretly came to the General's Mansion to teach me. I was very interested in learning, so I continued to study."
Her master was definitely the greatest benefactor in her life!
Helian Rong nodded silently: "I see. Your master's martial arts must be very powerful!"
Su Xuening looked surprised: "How did you know?"
Did she mention this to him before?
Helian Rong raised his lips smugly: "An'er is also your master's disciple. He is a martial arts practitioner. If your master's martial arts were not good, why would An'er learn martial arts from him?"
That kid has a very stable territory, so his martial arts skills must be quite good!
