The prince took a sip of tea, temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, turned the jade ring on his thumb, and secretly made a note of both King Sui and Li Lin in his heart, and he would definitely avenge today if he had the opportunity in the future.
At this time, people from Prince Zhao's Mansion arrived late. Zhao Mingyan came in a hurry. After saluting Prince Sui, he sat down on the edge.
King Sui was in a good mood after winning a match against the prince, so he asked him: "Why is Mingyan in such a hurry? Could something have happened?!"
Zhao Mingyan didn't want to mention it more and said perfunctorily: "It's not a big deal. I'm late."
King Sui smiled and didn't mention it much. He looked down upon over-spoiled children from aristocratic families like Zhao Mingyan, who had no ability and had bad taste.
King Sui had just met Su Wan, and he could see that she was a kind and intelligent girl. If Zhao Mingyan married this person, it would be good for him to live a stable life in the future.
It's just a pity that he has to set his sights on Su Fu, who is scheming and acts without scruples.
King Sui could foresee his future life and the chaos in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
On the female side, Su Fu accompanied Princess Zhao. Princess Zhao looked unhappy and managed to smile. She walked over slowly, and then sat at the same table with the Princess of Huaihe, Mrs. Pingyuan Hou and several other noble ladies.
"I'm late." After sitting down, Princess Zhao gave up and asked Su Fu to leave.
Su Fu originally wanted to say a few words to her, but seeing her expression, she was afraid that she would suddenly vent her anger on him, so she left and returned to her seat.
Princess Huaihe saw that she looked unhappy, so she asked her: "But what happened?!"
Princess Zhao almost gritted her teeth: "That woman from the Zhou family, I will definitely skin her."
Zhou, the concubine of Prince Zhao's palace, was also the concubine who gave birth to Prince Zhao's second son, Zhao Minghui. This concubine was not an ordinary concubine. She had been fighting with Princess Zhao for more than ten or twenty years. If Prince Zhao didn't love to remarry his wife, she would have been married. Princess Zhao also has such an outstanding son as Zhao Mingzhan, so she might not be able to fight against her.
Princess Zhao arrived late today, not because she wanted to slap Duke Jinning in the face on a day like this, but because the concubine had calculated that Princess Zhao was going out today, so she wanted to harm Murong Ning, but she happened to be caught Got it right.
Concubine Zhou was also anxious. Zhao Mingzhan was excellent, and Murong Ning was about to give birth to the palace's first grandchild. If the child was successfully born, Zhao Mingzhan's status would be more secure, so she started to think about it.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyan happened to go to find Murong Ning, and he bumped into him, and immediately caught him. However, the person who drugged her would rather commit suicide than reveal the person behind the scenes, so Concubine Zhou is still safe now.
King Huaihe also has concubines, but who is Princess Huaihe? There was only one Zhou concubine to compete with her.
That woman from the Zhou family has always been very scheming. If King Zhao hadn't been protecting her and she had a son like Zhao Mingzhan, to be honest, she would have died without even knowing it.
Princess Huaihe said: "You, don't say such words again. It won't sound good if others hear you."
Princess Zhao's face turned red with anger. She took a breath and endured it. After all, it was not her job to deal with housework at this time.
Not long after Princess Zhao arrived, Duke Jinning and the Wang family came with their son and daughter-in-law, and the scene became lively, as if the previous troubles did not exist.
Duke Jinning and Mr. Wang said some special words, thanked everyone for coming, and hoped that everyone would eat well, drink well, and have a good time together.
Next comes the part of birthday greetings and gifts. The so-called birthday greetings and gifts are matters for the younger generation in the family. Duke Jinning has no brothers, so apart from the two generations of children and grandchildren in the family, there are only Wang family members and a few girls who are getting married. Husband.
As for the birthday gifts of other visitors, most of them are recorded and will not be brought up here to chant.
The first ones to go up to present gifts were Su Wang and Yang. They were husband and wife, and they were one person. What they gave was a gift, a jade carving of an old man with a long life, made entirely of white jade, which was rare to see.
As soon as this object came out, there was an envious sound of inhaling from the people at the table.
"My son wishes his father a happy birthday. May his father and mother be healthy and live a long life. I wish him a white jade longevity star."
Duke Ning of Jinning laughed: "Boss is interested."
Such a large piece of jade was not available, but it was extremely difficult to find. Su Wang had indeed put a lot of thought into finding such a piece of jade and hiring a craftsman to carve it.
Wang also smiled and said: "You guys, if it weren't for me, I would live a long life."
Su Wang said: "It is my son who has made his father and mother worried. He will definitely change his ways in the future."
"good."
After Su Wang and Mrs. Yang came down, their second wife, Su Lin and Ms. Jiang, went up to pay their respects. They presented a portrait of Guanyin. Su Lin said a lot of nice things and said that he had asked a master to paint the portrait himself. No matter how long it has been sent to the temple for worship, it is actually just an ordinary portrait of Guanyin.
Even if his painting skills are good, his value is only a hundred taels of silver.
Duke Jinning nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."
Wang said: "Thank you for taking the trouble."
Su Lin smiled and said: "As long as father and mother are happy, it's all worth it and it's what a son should do."
Mrs. Jiang said: "That's exactly it."
Su Lin chattered for a long time before coming down.
Su Xun and Li were more generous. They gave two gifts, one was an ancient sword for Duke Jinning, and they also prepared half a bolt of Mizhou's rhombus soft silk for Wang.
In the past, when Li Lin hired Su Wan, he had a piece of fabric like this. This fabric is delicate, soft, breathable and comfortable, and is most suitable for making pajamas. In Dong Zhao, it is priceless but hard to find. , even the nobles in the palace can't get much distribution all year round.
Women and girls love it the most.
Su Xun's horse was the one he exchanged with Li Lin, leaving half for his wife and daughter, and the remaining half for the Wang family. Su Wan had one of his own, and he gave him some other things, and the remaining half. He gave it to Li Shi and Su Luo.
Duke Ning of Jincheng was a military commander, and his favorite weapons were these ancient weapons. Wang was naturally happy to get this half piece of cloth, and this gift really touched the hearts of the couple.
Wang said three good words in a row, which showed her joy.
Seeing this, Su Fu asked Su Wan: "It will be time for the grandchildren to present their gifts soon. Sixth sister, I'm not worried about the others. I'm just a little worried about you."
Su Wan turned to look at her with a gloating smile, and then asked her: "Why are you worried about me? Could it be that Fourth Sister thinks that I can't even give you a decent birthday gift?!"
Su Fujiao smiled, and then said: "Sixth sister, I am not worried about myself, but I am a little worried about Young Master Li. You said that in full view of everyone, if Young Master Li can't even bring out a decent birthday gift, wouldn't it be wrong? Shameful."
Su Wan was speechless for a moment. She was really convinced by Su Fu. Who was she trying to disgust by saying such things at this time?
After being reborn, he becomes even more foolish.
