Chapter 352: She really likes this birthday gift

The banquet will begin soon.

Everyone took their seats, and Lu Yanshi and the Queen also sat in the main seats. They were just waiting for the protagonist Lu Li to appear.

A loud howl was heard, and everyone looked up, and a huge shadow appeared above their heads.

"Father, Mother, here I come!" Lu Li sat on the giant-crowned eagle and giggled.

Everyone's heart was in suspense.

The Ninth Princess has ascended to heaven!

Fortunately, Lu Li was just showing off her mount and did not let the giant-crowned skyhawk hover in the air for too long.

After a while, we returned to the ground.

[Hehehe, this way of my appearance is quite unique, it must have stunned these ministers. ]

Lu Li smiled secretly in her heart.

Lu Yanshi and Xia Shuyi felt helpless when they heard her thoughts.

He really is a child.

"Congratulations to the Ninth Princess on her birthday. May she live forever and ever." The clever Cao Dehai was the first to offer his blessings.

Everyone else repeated it and congratulated Lu Li.

Lu Li sat between her father and mother and waved to everyone with a smile.

Before the performance, it was customary for the concubines to give Lu Li birthday gifts.

As expected by Lu Li, all the gifts given by the concubines were made of gold.

Although the item is nothing new, she still can't put it down.

Gold is good, gold is wonderful.

With gold, we can support the Mo family in researching new things.

The ministers who previously thought that the Ninth Princess's preference for gold was tacky learned their lesson this time and did not object. They asked their wives to give the Ninth Princess a bunch of gold jewellery.

Lu Li was extremely satisfied.

Among them, the one given by Concubine Min An Miaoyi is still the most eye-catching.

She gave him a small steam carriage made of gold.

It can't be opened, but when it's placed there, it blinds people's eyes.

"Thank you, Madam Minfei!"

Lu Li smiled so hard that the corners of her mouth seemed to be rising to the sky.

Others were jealous but could do nothing about it, after all, the An family was rich and they could not compare.

After the gift giving, today's performance began.

Qu Fufeng arranged an acrobatic performance, and the children in the palace applauded.

Lu Yanshi was very satisfied with this.

Qu Fufeng is indeed a talented person. He can handle any task perfectly.

It's time to give him a salary increase.

Lu Li watched the performance for a while and felt a little sleepy, until Princess Jingshan of Xinluo Kingdom came on stage to perform, she perked up.

【Finally here! 】

Hearing Lu Li's thoughts, Lu Yanshi immediately sat up straight and stared closely at Princess Jingshan in front of him.

"Jingshan pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, and wishes the Ninth Princess a long and happy life."

Princess Jingshan bowed to them.

Her Daxia dialect was not very standard, but it was not difficult for people to understand.

"Start your performance." Lu Li urged impatiently.

Princess Jingshan lowered her eyes and smiled, and the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras quietly rang out.

As the music rises and falls, Princess Jingshan begins her sword dance.

The tip of the sword lightly touched the ground, and in an instant it turned into a silver rainbow that spun around him.

Her steps were light and graceful, as if she was walking on snow without leaving any traces. Her sword moves were sometimes as powerful and fierce as a tiger descending from a mountain, and sometimes as light and delicate as a dragonfly skimming the water.

All the ministers in the room watched intently; they had never expected that a princess from a small border country could possess such skills.

Lu Yanshi had no time to admire her wonderful dancing skills, as his mind was full of thoughts on when she would make a move.

But what he never expected was that Princess Jingshan did not make a move until the end of the dance.

She bowed respectfully to Lu Yanshi and then returned to her seat.

Lu Li and Lu Yanshi were both dumbfounded.

Didn't you say you were planning to assassinate me?

Why did nothing happen?

[What's going on? Did Guagua make a mistake? ]

[It's impossible. I saw it with my own eyes.]

Lu Li fell into deep thought.

Lu Yanshi didn't believe that his daughter would lie to him. The only possibility was that there might be something wrong with the melon-eating system, and it gave his daughter false information!

This false warning sounded a wake-up call in Lu Yanshi's heart.

It seems that the melon-eating system may not be accurate in everything. We still have to verify it before making a decision.

"Father, I don't know why I got it wrong." Lu Li looked up at Lu Yanshi beside him with some guilt.

"Don't blame Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu has done a good job." Lu Yanshi hurriedly touched his daughter's head to comfort her.

"Yeah." Lu Li said nothing and lay down on the table in a depressed mood.

[Do they have other tricks up their sleeves? Are they planning to assassinate my father later?]

[No, I have to keep an eye on them and not let them mess around.]

Lu Li was thinking about this matter and had no mood to watch the subsequent performances carefully.

Until dark, everything was safe.

Lu Li was even more confused about what was going on.

Seeing that Lu Li was still absent-minded, Lu Yanshi felt a little guilty.

Today is Xiaojiu's birthday, but she is depressed because she is worried that her father might have been assassinated.

"Xiaojiu, you haven't seen the gifts your sisters prepared for you yet. Do you want to go and have a look now?" Lu Yanshi decided to let her go and play with her sisters.

If you worry too much about your children, you might end up not growing taller.

"But I'm worried about father." Lu Li looked at him seriously.

Lu Yanshi's heart was about to melt.

"Don't worry, my father has so many guards protecting me. No one can hurt me." He patted his chest to assure.

Lu Li tilted his head and looked at the guards behind him, and felt that what he said made sense.

This is in the imperial palace, and my father has been on guard, so nothing will happen.

She then nodded and followed the palace maid to find several imperial sisters.

Seeing that Lu Li seemed to be in a bad mood, Lu Linlang waved her hand and asked someone to send fireworks up.

"Xiaojiu, the Seventh Princess wishes you a happy birthday, everything goes well, and you are happy every day!"

The eunuch who presented the fireworks had red eyes due to envy.

The Seventh Princess is still rich and powerful.

A carriage full of fireworks like this would cost at least a thousand taels of silver, which is simply a naked waste of money.

"Thank you, Seventh Sister!" A smile instantly appeared on Lu Li's face.

She hasn't seen fireworks for a long time.

She really likes this birthday gift.

At Lu Linlang's command, the fireworks were lit and shot up into the sky in unison.

The sound of the fireworks exploding startled the people of Xinluo. They thought it was a small bomb and were so scared that they almost crawled under the table.

Fortunately, before they crawled under the table, they found that everyone else was very calm, toasting each other with smiles on their faces, and looking up at the things that made the sky so gorgeous.

They then calmed down and asked the people around them what it was.

After learning the price of the fireworks, the people of Xinluo were stunned.

Daxia is indeed very rich!

If Daxia becomes their territory, wouldn't they be prosperous?

Thinking of this, the leading official looked at Princess Jingshan with disappointment.

"Didn't we agree to assassinate Emperor Xia? Why didn't you do it?"
