Chapter 383 Family Banquet
A red sun gradually disappeared on the horizon, and the lanterns on both sides of the road in the palace were lit up by small yellow doors.
The lights were on, and the palace was magnificent under the light of the lanterns. The beauty of the ancient style made Xiao Ming's mood slightly calmer.
After talking about some common things to Zhenfei at Bishui Pavilion, Feng Deshui came to urge the two to go to Fulin Palace.
At this time, the prince, concubines and princesses had already arrived in Fulin Hall, and the royal banquet was about to begin.
As Zhenfei walked towards Fulin Palace, the palace maids who "stumbled past" along the way often cast charming eyes at Xiao Ming.
Concubine Zhen smiled but didn't say anything. She naturally understood what was happening in the deep palace. Now Xiao Ming is at its peak, and these palace maids are all looking forward to being attracted by Xiao Ming.
In this way, they can have a second half of their lives without worries about food and clothing.
After all, there are still palace maids in this palace who are taken by the prince and flew up to the branch and turned into phoenixes. However, this also shows the change in Xiao Ming's status now. He did not have such treatment before.
The two soon arrived at Fulin Hall. As Feng Deshui said, the princes, princesses and concubines in Fulin Hall arrived at this time.
When Xiao Ming arrived, some princes and princesses who were younger than Xiao Ming stood up and saluted him.
Xiao Ming is no longer the Xiao Ming of the past. Although these princes and princesses are young, their mothers are very smart.
Before the family dinner began, they had already explained how to treat Xiao Ming.
There are many crowds and lively occasions that always make people feel good, and Xiao Ming also gave gifts one by one.
At this moment, a pretty figure came to Xiao Ming and stretched out his white and tender little hand.
"Did Brother Qi bring me a gift? My perfume is available." Princess Xiangcheng pouted and wrapped Xiao Ming in asking for the gift.
As soon as she spoke, the other little princes and princesses followed suit, and ran over and stretched out their hands to Xiao Ming, looking eager.
Many concubines smiled when they saw this.
At this moment, Xiao Ming's mood suddenly became dark and clear. At least in the palace, there were still some younger brothers and sisters who had no malice towards him.
Li San's list is not all enemies, such as the Princess Xiangcheng, whose mother died early. Later, after Xiao Ming went to Qingzhou, Zhenfei felt that she had no place to rely on her and took the Princess Xiangcheng to her knees and raised her like her daughter. At that time, the Princess Xiangcheng was only seven years old.
Now six or seven years have passed, Princess Xiangcheng has become a little beauty. She was adopted by Concubine Zhen. Princess Xiangcheng has always regarded Xiao Ming as her brother.
That's why Princess Xiangcheng showed such intimacy with Xiao Ming.
"The gifts are all outside the palace, and you are indispensable." Xiao Ming rolled his eyes.
"Hehe, it's better for Brother Qi to treat me." Two dimples surged out of Princess Xiangcheng's face, and she returned to her seat with a smile.
It is actually very pitiful for a princess without a background. Without a background in a place like the palace, it means that it is up to others to control. Those princesses sent to barbarians and relatives are all because they do not have a rich family background.
Princess Xiangcheng had just left, and a 14-year-old boy was standing beside Xiao Ming, "Brother Seven, can I go and fight the barbarians with you?"
"Are you Zi Yan?" Xiao Ming looked at the boy carefully, and tried hard to recall that it seemed to be the ninth prince.
"It's rare, it's rare. I thought Brother Seven, you don't remember me anymore." Xiao Ziyan said with a smile.
Xiao Ming smiled helplessly. This Xiao Ziyan has nothing to do with him now, but it will soon have a deeper relationship.
Because Xiao Ziyan wanted to call Fei Yueer's cousin, there was no reason. His mother was Fiji's sister, Concubine Gong of the dynasty.
After patting Xiao Ziyan on the shoulder, Xiao Ming laughed. It seemed that he was not alone in Chang'an. He finally understood Concubine Zhen's good intentions.
He said to Xiao Ziyan: "Okay, as long as the father agrees, Brother Qi will take you to see what the battlefield is."
Xiao Ziyan turned to Xiao Wenxuan, who was sitting in the main seat in surprise and said, "Father, Brother Seven said that he is willing to take me to fight the barbarians."
Since Xiao Ming entered Fulin Hall, Xiao Wenxuan's eyes have been focused on Xiao Ming. Seeing Xiao Ming's expression gradually soothing, he knew that the step he took was right.
In the past, Xiao Ming was always alone, as if he was rejected by this big family. Now he will understand that he is not only the seventh prince, but also the seventh brother of these princes and princesses.
He also has a responsibility to safeguard the glory of the royal family.
"Hahaha... OK, since that's the case, I'll let you out when you get a few years older." Xiao Wenxuan laughed.
Xiao Ziyan danced happily when he heard this and ran back to his position.
Then he played with a few little princes and princesses for a while before Xiao Ming found his place to sit down.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Xiao Wenxuan clapped his hands and the family dinner officially began.
Suddenly, singing and dancing music appeared, and the entire Fulin Palace was filled with joy. Xiao Wenxuan was also in a happy mood and drank frequently.
Xiao Ming looked at the opposite side while admiring the singing and dancing, and King Wei and King Yong were also there.
When his eyes were in contact with King Wei, the King of Wei's eyes flashed and immediately picked up the wine glass to pretend to drink, while King Yong raised the wine glass to meet him from afar.
Xiao Ming smiled. This time he came to Chang'an, this good show was still coming.
It seemed to be a pure family banquet, and Xiao Wenxuan only cared about drinking and having fun, and did not mention government affairs at all.
Seeing the other princes raising their glasses to toast Xiao Wenxuan, Xiao Ming also followed suit. An hour passed and the family banquet was coming to an end. At this time, Xiao Ming rang something. He said: "Father, the New Year will be in a few months. After this wedding, my son will return to Qingzhou. I am afraid that I will not be able to celebrate the festival with my father, so I specially brought some gadgets to my father."
"Ming'er is indeed filial. Every time she wants to bring gifts to her father, what is it, letting her father see." Xiao Wenxuan was very happy, and his tone became more and more intimate with Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "I have brought this thing, and I also asked my father to accompany me to the outside of the hall. During this wedding, my father also wanted to use this thing, and I hope my father will agree to transfer it to the Ministry of Rites."
Xiao Wenxuan became more and more surprised, so he said to the prince and concubines, "Let's go, let's see what new things Qilang has made."
At this time, the sky outside was completely dark.
As soon as Xiao Wenxuan finished speaking, the younger princes immediately cheered and ran out. They all knew that this Seventh Brother was a very powerful person.
The prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince showed an unhappy look. Once Xiao Ming came to Chang'an, there would be no chance for them to show their faces.
Especially the prince, he looked at Xiao Ming with a vicious look, but he suddenly laughed strangely again, as if very proud.
