Lu Wuji looked at the golden wolf in front of him and was stunned for a moment.
He had long known what the gift from Chen Xueying was, and he had even seen a small sample. In fact, there was no sense of mystery or surprise anymore.
But when this tall golden wolf was actually in front of me, I couldn't help but feel excited and shocked by it.
Sparkling golden light, lifelike, wild and untamable, looking down upon the world.
It was completely like his incarnation, exceeding Lu Wuji's psychological expectations.
"Okay, okay, okay!" He said three good words in succession, and took the lead in applauding, making the dragon happy.
Immediately, applause erupted in the hall, one after another.
Even people like Zhao Li, who were dissatisfied, did not dare to disturb the emperor's good mood at this moment. They could only follow behind and applaud, and they had to put on a smiling face, otherwise they would be afraid of spoiling the fun.
"The Crown Princess has taken the trouble, and I am very satisfied. I will give you a seat." Lu Wuji waved his hand and showed a very cheerful expression.
The people in the palace were slightly startled and looked at Manager Qin. The ministers of the Guangming Palace were holding a banquet, but no female relatives were allowed to come. How could they be given a seat? Where is the position of the crown princess?
Manager Qin did not hesitate and immediately asked someone to bring a soft cushion and place it next to His Highness the Crown Prince. He asked the couple to sit at the same table and added bowls and chopsticks.
Chen Xueying saluted and said with great joy: "I wish my father to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
She silently added in her heart: die early and be born early.
As soon as Chen Xueying sat down, Lu Qingfeng from the next table couldn't help but come over and talk: "Sister-in-law is so generous. When I attack Dayan in the future, if I run out of money, I'm afraid I'll have to ask my sister-in-law for help."
He was obviously here to provoke, and saying this was equivalent to doing face-saving damage.
Chen Xueying sneered: "It's easy to talk, but I didn't expect the second brother to be so warm-hearted. How about this. Recently, the wolves of the fourth brother have been castrated. It's a time when they are short of eggs. Why don't you give yours to them? I How about the palace supporting me with the dowry?"
When she said this, she had a smile on her face and her tone was deliberately lively, as if she was giving some friendly advice.
Lu Qingfeng's eyes widened, and his face looked like he had eaten shit.
After a long time, he found his voice and managed to speak.
"Sister-in-law, it shouldn't be your concern whether you have eggs or not, right?"
"The eggs were all proposed by me, so how come they have nothing to do with me? My second brother is such a stingy person, so there is no way he can fool me." Chen Xueying snorted.
Lu Qingfeng almost choked at these words, and his face turned red.
He never expected that Chen Xueying could say such bold words and be very rude.
He is the second prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty. When the prince dies, he will be his heir and will carry on the family line in the future.
Wouldn't cutting off his eggs cut off his escape path? It was a cruel curse to directly cut off his descendants.
Moreover, the fourth brother's wolves were all a bunch of cowards, and they deserved to be cut off by him.
"The second brother is reluctant to part with such a small gadget, but he opens his mouth and asks me to bring out the dowry, and he is not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue."
Chen Xueying saw that he was silent, but she did not let him go. Instead, she took advantage of the victory and pinched her index finger to show how small it was.
Lu Qingfeng's eyes turned black, and he was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
He looked at the part of the woman's pinched fingers and almost started to smoke.
Damn it, can you speak?
I'm not a three-year-old, how could I be so young!
This was absolutely humiliating, and it also tore his dignity into pieces. Throwing it into the mud would make him explode with anger.
Lu Qingfeng clenched his fists. He wanted to hit this delicate face and disfigure her to see if she could still laugh.
But the gift given by Chen Xueying just now won Lu Wuji's favor, and he even made an exception to let her sit down. He also called out the civil servants in the hall and asked them to write poems. It was obvious that he liked Jin Lang very much.
If he makes a scene at this time, Lu Wuji will never let him go.
"Brother, is it inappropriate for my sister-in-law to talk about my brother-in-law's private affairs like this? Aren't you afraid that Hongxing will cheat on her?" Lu Qingfeng was so angry that his mouth was trembling. He finally calmed down and squeezed out these words from between his teeth. Come.
He didn't believe that Lu Zhao could bear it.
Although Chen Xueying ridiculed him and won, after all, Lu Zhao would definitely mind when it came to her husband's privacy.
Lu Zhaofang didn't speak. Instead, he held a cup of tea in his hand and seemed to be listening attentively.
Now that he mentioned it, Lu Zhao turned around and looked over.
He glanced at the second prince up and down, and said casually: "Don't be afraid, she won't fall in love with you even if you go against her."
Lu Qingfeng was originally waiting for Lu Zhao to speak. Even if he didn't scold Chen Xueying, he would definitely persuade her to shut up.
How can a woman say such a thing? Wouldn't she be ashamed?
However, Lu Zhao did not stop Chen Xueying, but instead added insult to injury and directly stepped on Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng clenched his fists. He really couldn't help it and wanted to punch the couple next to him.
The attempt to sow discord failed, but the couple joined forces to fight against him.
Chen Xueying pursed her lips and chuckled, and couldn't help but pat Lu Zhao's arm: "Husband, you really understand me. Second brother, in this clear sky, you should open your eyes and see the world, don't always dream."
Facing the playful looks in the couple's eyes, Lu Qingfeng couldn't stay any longer. He pretended to accidentally spill the tea and went straight down to change clothes, avoiding them both.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would really take action.
It was obvious that the couple had just gotten married and were not having a good time. Unexpectedly, when the two of them teamed up to deal with others, they cooperated so closely that they could make people angry to death.
Until the banquet was about to end, Lu Qingfeng didn't come back. He was obviously angry to death.
The atmosphere in Chaolu Palace was not too good. Chen Xueying left and never returned. The eunuch who was responsible for singing the ceremony also did not leave. He still described the situation of giving gifts in the front hall.
The Crown Princess presented a huge golden wolf statue, which greatly pleased the Emperor Long Yan. He specifically allowed her to stay in the Hall of Light and offered her a seat directly.
You must know that Concubine Yu and Concubine Li do not receive such treatment and are still with the female family members, but it is the Crown Princess, the daughter-in-law, who has this honor.
Even without saying it explicitly, everyone can see that the gift that the Emperor is most satisfied with today is the golden wolf given by the Crown Princess.
The atmosphere in Chaolu Palace was a bit cold for a while. Those who originally neglected the Crown Princess in order to curry favor with Li Concubine now regretted it.
Except for a few ladies who were determined to take refuge with Concubine Li, who still kept talking with flattering witticisms, most of the others fell into silence and seemed a little deserted.
Li Bin moved her lips. She wanted to say that the emperor was not that kind of vulgar person, and gold and silver would not be in his eyes at all.
But despite Mrs. Zhong's repeated warnings in her eyes, she still held back.
No matter how irrational she is, she also knows that ordinary gold and silver cannot impress people, but what Chen Xueying gave is not just a few taels of gold. The golden wolf statue, just from the eunuch's description, requires eight guards to push it on a cart, even if it is not pure gold inside, Gold, it must also contain a lot of gold, otherwise it would not be so heavy.
Because of Lu Wuji's high interest, Chen Xueying was undoubtedly the most popular person tonight.
Many of the female relatives in Chaolu Palace were restless, thinking that when the Crown Princess came back, they would take the opportunity to build friendship and explain the misunderstanding just now.
It's a pity that they didn't have this opportunity, and the princess didn't come back until the banquet was over.
The Guangming Palace also dispersed, and the courtiers met with their wives and daughters and walked towards the palace gate. Their carriages were parked at the palace gate.
"Ouch--" A wolf howled came, and everyone's hearts tightened.
Looking back, I saw the eunuchs walking in the front with lamps, followed by several wolves walking side by side, with two bearers in the middle carrying the sedan chariot, with Chen Xueying sitting on it.
The crowds walking towards the palace gate dispersed to both sides to make room for her.
Chen Xueying was sitting on the sedan chair, wearing a cloak. She met many high-ranking officials along the way, but she didn't say anything.
If she met someone who took the initiative to salute her, she would wave and walk in a high-profile manner.
Seeing her leaving in such a grand manner, Zhao Li walked with his five friends and finally couldn't help but scold her.
"This Crown Princess is really in the limelight. Who would have thought that she was a trophy sent by Dayan before. Now she is so grand that not even His Highness can compare to her."
Several generals looked at each other with displeasure in their hearts.
After all, they were on the battlefield, fighting to the death with Dayan's soldiers.
Although Northern Qi won more and lost less, as long as it was a war, no one would die, and the soldiers of the two countries hated each other.
Now let them see that when a princess from an enemy country married to Northern Qi, not only did she not live a hard life, but even the noble and high-ranking officials of Northern Qi had to avoid her and make way for her.
He left in a sedan chair and was specially escorted by a pack of wolves. This treatment was not even for a first-class official.
As if they were made to look like clowns, they fought tooth and nail against Dayan, and as a result, Dayan's princess became domineering in the Northern Qi Palace.
Everyone else in Guangming Hall has left, only the Lu family father and son are still in the hall.
"I'm very happy today. I haven't seen you fighting hard for a long time. Take your respective wolves and go underground."
Lu Wuji's first sentence showed that he was in a good mood.
Everyone felt relieved, at least the birthday party was not in vain, and it was expected to last for a few days.
Unfortunately, in the next sentence, he went back to his original form and told them bluntly that it was too early to be happy.
"My wolf pack has escorted the Crown Princess out of the palace. Please wait for a moment." Lu Zhao immediately clasped his fists for instructions.
Lu Wuji stroked his beard: "Oh? Since we are sending the Crown Princess out of the palace, let's also invite the Crown Princess to watch the battle."
Lu Zhao was slightly startled and immediately said: "The battle between wolves is quite bloody. The Crown Princess is just a female, so she will inevitably be frightened. She will scream again and again, which may disturb the emperor's interest."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not a stingy person. Qin You'an, go and invite him personally." Lu Wuji gave the order directly, and Manager Qin took the order and left.
Lu Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but he couldn't say anything.
It was just a small matter like hiring someone, and there was no need for Manager Qin at all, but Lu Wuji still went to photograph him, which proved that there was no room for change in the matter and that he had made up his mind.
No matter how much Lu Zhao said at this time, it would be useless. Instead, it would make the old pervert unhappy.
Chen Xueying swaggered all the way through the city and was finally leaving the palace, but Manager Qin's urgent voice of condolences came from behind.
"Princess, wait a moment!"
Manager Qin ran over all the way, sweat breaking out on his head.
"Your Majesty invites you and the Crown Prince's wolves to go to the Guangming Palace. The Crown Prince and several princes are here." Manager Qin said politely.
The officials who left the palace behind him immediately pricked up their ears. After hearing his words clearly, they were even more astonished in their hearts.
The golden body of the Crown Princess was a wonderful gift, and she used money to clear the way. The money was so much that even the emperor, who was extremely difficult to serve, treated her differently.
It was originally just a private gathering for the Lu family and his son, but now that he could invite her there, it proved that he treated her as a family member, even more so than the princess and empress of Northern Qi.
Everyone couldn't help but be frightened, and inevitably gathered together to discuss in low voices.
The circle of military generals was also divided into several groups. Among them, several commanders with the highest official positions were walking together. One of the generals poked the person next to him.
"Old Zhong, what do you think? Does the Emperor really think so highly of the Crown Princess?"
The father and son of the Tian family must have their own rules when it comes to getting along, and these perverted rules set by Lu Wuji have been heard by officials like them.
But even these people couldn't join, let alone Chen Xueying, a princess of an enemy country.
It's just that the emperor invited her over at this moment, and specifically pointed out that all his family members were present, which was a bit intriguing and made people have to think more. :,,
