"Brother Xinglan, you are so good at fishing, why don't any fish bite my hook?"
"Brother Xinglan, this is the most delicious snack in the world. Try it quickly."
"Brother Xinglan, is this the purple chalcedony you gave me? I heard that this thing is so rare that even the palace doesn't have it."
"Brother Xinglan."
——
The man came riding a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums.
Living together for a long time, the two children have no doubts.
What now?
Isn't there any doubt in everyone's mind?
Seeing Fenghuang's troubled look, Shen Xinglan comforted her gently and said with a smile: "It's okay. I just thought of some scenes from my childhood. I was really happy at that time. Now we are all grown up."
"Yes, we have all grown up." Phoenix said with infinite emotion.
"Anyway, I'm really happy to see you back safely."
"Thank you. Is this the first time we've met since we came back?" Phoenix asked.
"Yes." Shen Xinglan said: "Maybe there are times when we pass by each other, but you just don't care."
"Really?" Phoenix looked at Shen Xinglan suspiciously and said, "You have been practicing in Bailu Academy and rarely go down the mountain, right?"
Shen Xinglan smiled and said nothing, "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony and your birthday. Everyone is here to celebrate you. I can't occupy so much of your time by myself."
After speaking, he stepped aside gracefully.
Hearing Shen Xinglan's words, the VIPs who could not hold themselves back immediately rushed up to give them their birthday gifts.
"Your Highness, this is a spiritual pearl that our family collected from the North Sea. I think it matches your temperament, so I will give it to you as a necklace."
"This is a bracelet made from thousand-year-old Qinan. It has been worshiped under the Giant Buddha of Luojia Mountain for three years. It can protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"A small gift is not a sign of respect. Please, Your Highness, please do not refuse."
"Your Highness Xiuxue, you are so beautiful. Can we take a photo together?"
——
In an instant, Phoenix was surrounded by countless people.
Everyone came here just for her and now they have the opportunity, how can they let it go so easily?
Xiaopang looked at the grand occasion in front of him and asked, "Brother, are your gifts ready?"
"Ready."
"That guy is so shameless that he wants to give Sister Phoenix a bird. Brother, you can also make birds, let's give Sister Phoenix a bird too, right?"
"I can give it away, but you can't." Tang Bandit said.
"Why?"
"Because you didn't."
"Oh." Xiaopang nodded.
He really didn't.
Phoenix asked the etiquette officer to receive and register the gifts given by everyone. Some people's gifts can be accepted, while some people's gifts need to be returned.
Some gifts that are light can be accepted, while some gifts that are valuable must be returned.
Because some people give gifts with the intention of repaying them accordingly.
If Phoenix doesn't want to give back to others, or if it can't give others what they want in return, it has to return the gift.
Of course, she still accepted them all in front of everyone.
Because this avoids embarrassment to the person giving the gift
Fenghuang worked hard for a while and finally got rid of the huge crowd of people giving gifts and taking photos. When he saw Tang Bandit and Xiaopang standing in the corner, he took the initiative to walk towards them and asked with a smile: "You guys Where are the gifts you two prepared? You won’t say they don’t exist, right?”
"Other people's gifts are too expensive, so I'm too embarrassed to take mine out." Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang and said loudly.
"Others are others, you are you." Fenghuang stretched out his small hand to Tang Bandit and said, "Take it out."
Tang Bandit had no choice but to take out a small box from his pocket and said, "This is it. Don't dislike it."
Phoenix took the box and found a bamboo hairpin inside.
A phoenix was cut at the end of the hairpin. The workmanship was very good and the phoenix bird looked lifelike.
However, compared with the priceless Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Crown on top of the Phoenix's head,
There's no comparison, there's no comparison at all.
"Do you remember that in the old land, we had a hunting competition, and the loser had to give the winner a gift." Tang Bandit explained aloud: "Originally, I thought I was going to lose, so I prepared this for you. It’s a gift. I just didn’t expect you to leave so soon, so I never had the chance to give this gift out.”
Phoenix's eyes shone slightly and asked, "So, you brought it to Xinxing?"
"Well, when I was packing my luggage, I thought I might have a chance to give it to you, so I brought it with me."
Phoenix casually inserted the bamboo hairpin into the hair plate on his head and asked, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good." Tang Bandit nodded.
Phoenix squinted his eyes and laughed, then turned his attention to Fatty's face and asked, "Little Fatty, is this your gift?"
Xiaopang's face turned red and he whispered: "Sister Phoenix, I don't have any gifts. I don't know what to prepare. I discussed with my brother and asked him to share half of the gifts with me, but he refused."
Xiaopang felt very guilty. He had eaten so much food but could not give any gifts...
Isn’t this freeloading? It's so embarrassing.
"There is really no way to separate it." Fenghuang nodded to show his approval of Tang Bandit's words, and explained: "If you separate this hairpin, won't it become two pieces?"
"Yeah. But my brother said, if you really don't know what to send, you can also send a few words of blessing."
"A blessing? That's fine. Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it." Xiaopang said happily.
"tell me the story."
"You can't say it in front of everyone." Xiaopang said hesitantly, "You can't let others hear it."
So, Fenghuang leaned down, put his body in front of Xiaopang, and said, "Is this okay to talk about? Just tell me."
Xiaopang nodded with satisfaction, and then said a few words into Phoenix's ear.
After hearing this, the smile on Phoenix's face became even brighter.
She glanced at Tang Bandit and said to Xiaopang, "Very good. I like the gift you gave me very much. Thank you, Xiaopang."
"You're welcome. I don't know what to give and I don't have any money."
Fenghuang glared at Tang Bandit dissatisfiedly and said, "Where is the money I transferred to you? Why don't you give some to Xiaopang?"
"What money does the kid want?" Tang Bandit said matter-of-factly, "What if he spends it carelessly? Can't I just buy him whatever he wants?"
"Stingy guy." Fenghuang scolded. She took Xiaopang's hand and said, "If we don't ask him for it, I'll give it to you later."
"Thank you, Sister Phoenix. But brother is right, I really don't need money. Just ask brother for whatever you want to buy. Please don't transfer money to me anymore."
"You"
Phoenix is really helpless towards Xiaopang, this "brother slave".
How can a younger brother be so humble and obedient?
Phoenix's gaze shifted to Sheng Xinhuai's face. Sheng Xinhuai smiled strangely and said, "My gift was delivered in advance. You promised to wear it for me to see."
"What do you want to wear for you to see?" Tang Bandit asked, "Can I see it?"
"No." Fenghuang glared at Sheng Xinhuai. How could this woman dare to say anything?
"You will have more opportunities to see it in the future. I want to see it once less." Sheng Xinhuai explained: "Since she doesn't want to, I won't show it to you this time. I'm addicted to it myself."
"When did I tell you to show it to you?"
"Then let me wear it for you to see?"
"."
While Fenghuang and Tang Bandit Xiaopang were chatting, Shen Xinglan was also surrounded by people.
"Brother Xinglan, can we take a photo together?"
"Brother Xinglan, what state are you in now? Are you the youngest grandmaster in our Phoenix Empire?"
"Xinglan, long time no see, want to have a drink together?"
——
Shen Xinglan responded one by one, politely and gracefully.
After the crowd had almost dispersed, only a few young people from the nine major families gathered around.
Yu Huoshui looked at Shen Xinglan with a smile and said, "How is it? Shen Xinglan, the leader of the Seven Stars and the number one on the Blue List, also sometimes hits a wall and is rejected. Isn't this a very unpleasant feeling?"
Shen Xinglan reached out and stroked the feathers on Xiaobai's head, and said softly: "At every stage of life, you will make the best choice for yourself. I am like this, and so are you. Why can't she do this?"
"Is it the most advantageous? That's not necessarily the case." Yu Huoshui shook his head and said, "Maybe it is more disadvantageous?"
Shen Xinglan's eyes fell on Fenghuang, who was chatting and laughing with Tang Bandit and others. Her smile was so bright and sincere. It was different from the polite smile she used to deal with other guests. She was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Obviously, Phoenix was in his most comfortable and comfortable state at this time.
She can express her thoughts and emotions freely, whether she is happy or unhappy.
Phoenix at this time is truly enviable.
She had shown this side to herself before.
Unfortunately, things change and people change.
"Xinglan, you were outclassed by a guy from the old country. Look how happy the princess was chatting with people over there. They gave her a worthless hairpin, which is still stuck in her hairpin to this day. It has never been taken off the head."
"It's just that you gave away the little white you hatched with your own hands, but was rejected. It's sad to say that."
Shen Xinglan glanced at them and said, "Why do you feel so happy? It's rare to see such excitement, right?"
"That's natural."
"It's a lie to say you're not happy. In this lifetime, you can see Shen Xinglan deflated. Hehehe, why do you feel so happy?"
"It's okay if we can't compete. Shen Xinglan can't compete and I don't know what's going on. I feel balanced all of a sudden." Dong Guoyan covered his chest and said with a smile.
Dongguo Xin was mature and cautious. He looked at Shen Xinglan and said, "That boy from the old country does have two tricks. Before you came back, Qin Jianyi challenged him, and the two of them reached the point where Qin Jianyi was hit by one of his moves. Fight back and be willing to admit defeat.”
Shen Xinglan looked at Tang Bandit for a while, then walked towards their location.
The proud egret followed closely behind him, like a arrogant little follower.
Yu Huoshui's eyes were deep and he said with a smile: "There is a good show to watch."
