Chapter 102 This banquet is truly full of hidden talents
[The High Priest of Southern Xinjiang made a bad choice this time. ]
[The so-called Saint of Southern Xinjiang is fake! 】
[She has no way to communicate with the gods, and cannot perform divination or prophecy.]
[The high priest was afraid that she would be exposed if she stayed in Southern Xinjiang, so he took advantage of my birthday to bring her to Daxia.]
[They planned to use me as an excuse, saying that it was because of me that the Saint of Southern Xinjiang lost the ability to communicate with the gods.]
When Lu Li said this, she clenched her fists in anger.
Why do everyone want to take advantage of her!
Is she a brick? She can be moved wherever she is needed.
Lu Yanshi's brows also wrinkled. This high priest of Southern Xinjiang was really shameless. He actually wanted to use his daughter. So don't blame him for causing trouble.
[The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang already had some suspicions, otherwise he would not have allowed his confidants to follow him this time.]
【But he had no evidence and could not prove it.】
Lu Li mentioned the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang with some disdain.
Lu Yanshi's mind raced and he immediately came up with an idea.
There is no evidence, right? He just created it for him.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Lu Yanshi felt much more relieved.
Since this time he is not going to unite with the Xichang Rebellion to attack Daxia, he can take action in advance and divide the two sides.
Lu Yanshi felt a bit of a headache when he thought about how many people would cause trouble at tomorrow's birthday party.
My daughter's happy party was ruined by these bad apples. It's so disgusting.
Both Beiyong and Nanjiang are planning to cause trouble. Princess Dongli should not do anything weird. What about Xichang? Will the envoys from Xichang do something bad?
Since he was already here, Lu Yanshi might as well ask them all at once.
"The Grand Princess came from Dongling, the High Priest and Saintess came from Nanjiang, but Xichang only sent two ordinary envoys. What do they mean? Do they look down on me?"
[No, no, the prince of Xichang is here too.]
[He disguised himself as the follower of Fu Bi, the Minister of Personnel! ]
Lu Li answered in her heart.
Lu Yanshi raised his eyebrows slightly.
This banquet is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Maybe they have other plans." Xia Shuyi replied silently.
"The Queen is right. It's getting late, so go to bed early. You'll have to trouble yourself at Xiaojiu's banquet tomorrow." Lu Yanshi got what he wanted and stood up to leave.
He has to plan carefully tonight to avoid missing out on any big fish tomorrow.
…
Yu Shutong, who was just about to wash up, was called out by the leader.
"Your mission has come. Go to the inn and serve these two. Within three days, learn their voices. Do you understand?"
Yu Shutong agreed without hesitation.
"I obey your orders."
Soon, she changed her name to Tong'er and entered the Southern Xinjiang Embassy.
"Why did you change someone to serve us?" Yin Yuehua, the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, frowned when she saw her.
"The maid fell ill last night, and I'm afraid that the disease would be passed on to you." Yu Shutong did not use her original voice, but changed to a more childish voice to make herself sound more harmless.
Yin Yuehua did not doubt her and directly called her to work.
Fortunately, Yu Shutong received a lot of training in the secret guard training camp during this period, otherwise, she would not be able to pretend to be a maid with her pair of tender white hands.
Yu Shutong is very low-key. She speaks very little and her presence is almost unnoticed.
When the time to enter the palace came, Yang Jiuxiao came ahead to pick up Yin Yuehua.
"Let's go into the palace." Yang Jiuxiao's voice was a little low, but very catchy, with a mysterious aura.
Yu Shutong remembered his voice firmly in her ears.
Yin Yuehua followed without saying a word.
The two walked side by side and met Kang You at the gate of the embassy.
"High Priest, Saint." Kang Youchong greeted the two.
Yang Jiuxiao and Yin Yuehua nodded and followed him into the palace to attend today's birthday banquet.
Today the sky is clear and the weather is amazing. The warm winter sun makes people feel very relaxed.
Yu Shutong deliberately induced them to talk, and introduced them to various palace taboos along the way.
The high priest and the saint probably spoke very little in order to maintain their mysterious image.
Only Kang You responded to her from time to time.
Yu Shutong was almost dying of anxiety.
If they didn't say anything, she couldn't be sure that she could imitate them 100%.
She needs to listen to it several times.
They soon arrived at the palace, and Yu Shutong led several people from the ancient country of Southern Xinjiang to their positions.
Princess Dongli arrived early, and with her was Helian Qian. Many people stared at Helian Qian, as if trying to guess who he was.
Helian Qian said nothing and sat obediently beside his grandmother.
The Prince of Xichang also came with the Minister of Personnel. He disguised himself as an attendant and stood behind the Minister of Personnel.
The Minister of Personnel could not even drink with peace of mind.
The prince is standing while he is sitting. Does this make sense?
The last to arrive were the people from Beiyong.
Before entering, someone searched Qi Xingyue and was surprised to find out that she had nothing with her.
Didn't she say she had prepared poison? Where did she hide it?
But he did not act rashly, but ordered his men to keep a close eye on Qi Xingyue.
As the protagonist of today, Lu Li was nestled in her mother's arms, being watched by all kinds of people.
She finally met her grandparents.
When the Xia family learned that Lu Li liked gold, they gathered all their gold and ordered someone to build a three-foot-high pot of golden trees and silver flowers.
The roots and trunk of the tree are made of gold on the outside, and copper is used to form the basic shape inside. The flowers on the top of the tree are wrapped with silver and various gems, making the whole tree look magnificent and beautiful.
Lu Li was so happy that her saliva started to flow.
[So beautiful!!!]
[But it’s not convenient to carry it with you on the go. ]
[With such a big tree, I must be the most eye-catching baby in the crowd. ]
[But if I don’t take it with me, I’ll be heartbroken. 】
The Xia family couldn't hear Lu Li's thoughts. They just watched her being very happy at first, but then her little face wrinkled and she seemed very depressed.
The Xia family members were all very puzzled. Why? Wasn't this gift what the Ninth Princess wanted?
"Is it too big or not exquisite enough? Princess Ninth doesn't like it?" Xia Yuanguang frowned.
"No, father." Xia Shuyi explained helplessly for her daughter.
"She likes it so much that she doesn't know how to express it. Li'er, what are you going to say when you receive the gift?" She pinched her daughter's little face.
Lu Li came back to her senses and said to Xia Yuanguang in a baby voice, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa."
"Grandma, uncle, and aunt have all worked hard."
"Thank you. I like the gift."
On her first birthday, Lu Li felt that she could speak much more fluently than before. She no longer stuttered or struggled to utter a single word.
These few short sentences almost melted Xia Yuanguang's heart.
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. What belongs to your grandfather is yours." His old face was full of wrinkles when he smiled.
All the heartache he had felt before was swept away, and he thought that he still had some money left for his coffin, so why not use it up and make a smaller gold bracelet for Xiaojiu next time.
After the Xia family presented their gifts, the other concubines were not to be outdone and ordered people to present the gifts they had prepared.
