In fact, not only Feng Jing and others were curious about what Feng Xi would give Feng Yunxuan, but Qi Xiao beside Feng Xi was also curious.
Logically speaking, as Feng Xi's husband and the de facto butler of the entire Princess Protector's Mansion, he should have prepared this gift for Feng Yunxuan.
And just as Feng Jing and others thought, the Princess Protector's Mansion had very little foundation, but there really wasn't anything good to offer.
After all, with Yuan Fengxi's spoiled temperament, she didn't know treasures, let alone appreciate calligraphy and paintings. She felt that gold, silver and Zhuangzi's courtyard were the most useful, so Princess Protector's Mansion had money, but really no treasures.
So he sent someone out a few days ago to find a set of five-color glazed tea cups, which he planned to give to Feng Yunxuan, who loved serving flowers and grass, and naturally also loved cooking tea.
Colored glaze is rare, especially the set of tea cups he was looking for. It was so radiant and magnificent that giving it away would not disgrace the Princess Protector's Palace.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xi refused.
She said she had already thought of what to give so he didn't have to worry about her.
At that moment, Qi Xiao felt that the sun was rising in the west. Not only him, but also Emperor Sheng De beside him couldn't help but look at Feng Xi a few more times.
At that time, they wanted to ask Feng Xi what he wanted to give, but they were afraid that what they heard would make them so upset that they would need to refute Feng Xi's answer.
In the end, they felt that as long as Feng Xi was happy, they wouldn't ask.
The result of not asking was that Feng Xi didn't say anything either, so Qi Xiao was also looking forward to it at this moment.
Finally, Aunt Gui, who had been standing next to Feng Xi, winked at the palace maid behind her and motioned for her, who was holding a carved wooden box, to come forward with her to present the gift.
After the two of them stood still in the center of the venue, Aunt Gui said in a melodious tone:
"Look, Princess, this is the housewarming gift from our Highness to you."
While speaking, Aunt Gui reached out to open the wooden box in the palace maid's hand and took out four white jade bottles that looked the same.
"What is this? Jade is good jade. Ordinary people will be happy for a while if they get it, but it is just for fun..."
"Hey, don't jump to conclusions prematurely. What if there is another mystery on the bottle? For example, there are paintings hidden in the bottle, or there are hidden patterns on the bottle or something."
"Indeed, there are countless wonderful things in the world. How can the things that can be taken out of His Highness Zhaoming's hands be ordinary things?"
"That makes sense. I'm being narrow-minded and I'm making you laugh."
…
Before Nanny Gui could explain what the four white jade bottles were, a group of people behind Feng Jing, Feng Yu, and Feng Yuan started discussing.
And as if they were relieved beforehand, they all praised Feng Xi unanimously.
As long as it is a gift from His Highness Zhaoming, there can be nothing wrong with it.
No one can question His Royal Highness Zhaoming. That bottle may be even more outstanding than the red coral and emerald Guanyin of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.
As for those who dared to shake their heads at Feng Xi's jade bottle, they even attacked them in groups, with the main one scorning them.
However, Qi Xiao frowned slightly as he watched this scene, obviously seeing through these people's thoughts.
Praise and kill.
Are they trying to win by saying nice things and wearing high hats?
Don't mention it, this trick is indeed destructive.
If the gifts prepared by Little Phoenix were too bad, or were not as good as theirs, then these words would become the sharpest sarcasm, and would be extremely unpleasant to hear.
And what if the things Little Phoenix prepared were good enough, even better than theirs?
With the previous high hat, isn't this a matter of course?
Seeing that Feng Jing was about to take advantage of all the flattering words, she said that the fifth sister was really extraordinary and promoted Feng Xi to the highest position...
Feng Xi spoke:
"I see that you all look like dogs, but it doesn't look like you have an eye disease, right? Isn't it an eye disease, but an idiot? The kind of idiot who is really sick in the brain and can call a few bottles rare and rare treasures?"
Feng Jing: "?"
Everyone: "?"
Although they had long recognized that Feng Xi's jade bottle was just an ordinary jade bottle, as the saying goes, it's better not to hit the smiling person. Were they just speaking for her?
Moreover, the dignified Princess Protecting the Country, are you still reasonable if you give me four white jade bottles as a gift?
Are you afraid that people will laugh at you if you say it?
Seeing Feng Jing and others unable to get off the tiger, Feng Yunxuan, who was watching the show on the side, finally smoothed things over with a smile and said:
"Yunxuan is very happy that the fifth sister can come to the banquet. It doesn't matter whether the gift is expensive or fancy. In Yunxuan's opinion, it is enough for you to have this intention."
After Feng Yunxuan said this, his character of being generous, magnanimous, knowledgeable and reasonable became stable again.
But the more she said she didn't care, the more everyone here wanted to fight for her.
You must know that in the eyes of aristocratic families like them, the preciousness and ingenuity of this gift is equal to the degree of intention.
A good gift means a lot of thought, and a random gift means a cheap gift, which naturally means you are looking down on others.
And with Princess Zhaoming's domineering temperament, who would hit back at anyone who said something harsh to her, it was quite normal for her not to pay attention to Feng Yunxuan, the eldest sister.
Didn't she embarrass others when she came today, saying that she wanted to go back to sleep and come back in the middle of the night?
Seeing that everyone was looking at Feng Xi with increasingly unkind eyes, Xie Wanyin, who had caught the opportunity over there, finally said:
"This white jade is flawless. Even if it's just a jade vase, it's still a great gift. After all, the birthday gifts His Highness Zhaoming gave to grandpa before were gold or land deeds. It's just the princess's nature, not unexpected."
Lifting his eyes and smiling at Feng Xi, Xie Wanyin's beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, as if he really wanted to repair the relationship with Feng Xi and was carefully trying to please her.
But in fact, as soon as she said these words, the smiles in everyone's hearts became even deeper.
Sure enough, despite the fact that His Highness Zhaoming is now very popular in the court, he seems to be on par with the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.
But in reality?
A mediocre person who relies solely on the support of their saint and has no real talent or learning at all.
I always gave gold and land deeds to my grandfather, so it seemed reasonable to give Feng Yunxuan four white jade bottles.
Of course, there might be something in that white jade bottle, but what could be contained in that palm-sized bottle?
Pills?
If it wasn’t a life-saving miracle medicine, they wouldn’t recognize it!
Life-saving medicines are all expensive but not marketable. Isn’t it too much of a loss to give them away at a housewarming party?
In short, under the turns of everyone at the banquet, Feng Xi was already a mediocre person. Not to mention compared with Feng Jing and Feng Yu, even Feng Yuan's bosses who embarrassed Feng Yunxuan were better than her.
Anyway, the gem is really big, and the pearls are also very good.
Just when everyone was looking at Feng Xi teasingly, wanting to embarrass the never-failing Princess Zhaoming, Feng Xi calmly said to Aunt Gui:
"Well, since this housewarming gift from me is so unpopular, we won't give it to you and just smash it~"
Everyone: "?"
Smashed?
