Chapter 497: His old husband wants to change his son-in-law
Have seen each other's courtesy.
Xiao Yi took the lead in opening the brocade box that Shi Ku was holding and said warmly: "My grandmother's 60th birthday, I specially asked a skilled craftsman to carve a white jade Guanyin two months in advance."
Everyone looked at it.
The white jade Guanyin is shiny and clear, without any flaws. It is actually carved from a whole piece of white jade with mutton fat. It has a kind expression and a dignified and elegant shape. It is not an exaggeration to call it worth a thousand gold.
"I know that my grandmother believes in Buddhism, so I am thinking about giving you a statue of Guanyin." Xiao Yi bowed calmly, "Today's grandmother's birthday, I wish my grandmother as blessed as the water of the East China Sea and as long as the pine trees!"
The old man smiled as usual.
But I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
She heard that the third wife mentioned Jiaojiao's ankle injury and asked carefully, she realized that it was the injury on the royal hunting ground.
She had been frugal with luxury for twelve years, but since she had something to do with Xiao Yi, she was injured every now and then. She felt distressed when she saw it.
She even wanted to hire a special expert to test Xiao Yi and Jiaojiao's eight characters.
I always feel that Xiao Yi is specializing in defeating Jiaojiao...
Faced with Xiao Yi's precious birthday gift, she didn't even raise her eyelids, and just smiled faintly, "You have the heart, sit down."
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes.
He keenly captured the old man's emotional changes, but at the birthday party, it was not convenient for him to say anything, so he had to pretend to be fine and find a seat.
When we came to Songheyuan, everyone had a close understanding of the seats beside Jiaojiao, but today, Cheng Yerou and Nan Guang sat next to the girl, left and right.
No matter how he stared at them, both of them looked at their noses and their hearts without any intention of giving way.
"Xiao Yi, why don't you sit there quickly? "The old lady looked serious, "Can't you wait for a meal?"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Is he like someone who is so anxious to eat?
He was on fire and had to sit in the corner in a frustration.
He looked at Nan Baoyi.
The little girl was dressed very well today, with her butterfly-like eyelashes, her thin white and delicate fingertips poked out from the satin peach blossom pollen sleeve tube. She was playing with a small golden silk hand stove, and she turned a blind eye to his eyes.
Obviously, she still didn't want to pay attention to him.
Xiao Yi suppressed his anger and lowered his head to tidy up the arrow sleeves, and the light fell on Chu Huainan.
This guy is here to compete with him for the son-in-law of the Southern Mansion.
It’s a pity that the prince’s mansion has never been rich. With the white jade Guanyin he gave him, he wanted to know what treasures Chu Huainan could take out to fight him.
Chu Huainan opened the brocade box.
A pair of scrolls were contained in the brocade box.
He said warmly: "I know that the old lady is not short of gold and silver, so I specially picked up a pen and drew this birthday picture for you."
He opened the scroll, drew ink paintings of the pine trees in the south of the mountain on clean rice paper, and wrote the word "Shou" in elegant seal script.
"It's so wonderful!" Nan Guang immediately praised, "Look at this pine tree, it is so vigorous, so lush, so green! Look at the white crane, although it's a little thin, don't all literati regard thinness as beautiful? What's this called, character, yes, character! Mother, look at how great the gift given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Uncle is over-reputable."
Chu Huainan smiled and said to the old lady solemnly: "I wish the old lady a long spring and a long spring and autumn. After 60 years of ups and downs, you have devoted your life to the Nan family. Because of you, the Nan family has today's grand glory; because of you, the Nan family has cultivated so many outstanding younger generations.
"You are noble and generous, you are the most respected person in the Nan family and a role model for women all over the world.
"My younger generation sincerely wish you good health and all the best in the future!"
He is the prince.
But he bowed respectfully to the old lady.
In the hall, everyone looked different.
They were not stupid, and their eyes were on Chu Huainan, Xiao Yi and Nan Baoyi, and they could already guess that this should be a bloody and exciting love triangle.
After examining, the elders felt that Xiao Yi looked too fierce, but Chu Huainan was very gentle, so the balance in his heart couldn't help but turn towards Chu Huainan.
However, the younger generation led by Nan Chengli stood secretly on Xiao Yi's side.
Nan Chengli was so angry that he wanted to kick Chu Huainan out!
How wonderful is his second brother. He is no better than the prince by relying on his own efforts to become the Grand Governor of the West of the Town?
Xiao Yi held his chin.
He narrowed his eyes, and although the corners of his lips raised, a gloomy storm was brewing in Danfeng's eyes.
What a Chu Huainan. He has been slapped in the sky. He has tried his best to please the Nan family.
Does he think that by pleasing the elders of the Nan family, he can get Nan Jiaojiao?
dream.
Before he could make a sound of mocking, Nan Guang exclaimed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and we Jiaojiao are really in harmony! The gift you gave is a birthday celebration, and our Jiaojiao's birthday gift is an embroidered birthday. I see, there is no word that can describe your fate, hahaha!"
Xiao Yi's face looked even more ugly.
His father-in-law wants to change his son-in-law.
He picked up the teacup and lowered his eyes to drink tea like a covert, covering up the bad habit in his eyes.
The old lady smiled unfathomablely.
Don’t blame her for not being moral and rules. Her granddaughter’s happiness is her moral and rules.
If His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, prefers Jiaojiaoer to be more pampered than Xiao Yi, then she would rather give up her face and try every means to help Jiaojiaoer destroy her engagement with Xiao Yi!
She paused and said kindly: "The banquet is about to start, let's move to the flower hall. Jiaojiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a guest today, you have to help you entertain me."
Give young people more opportunities to get along with each other so that Jiaojiao'er can see clearly what the difference between His Royal Highness and Xiao Yi is so that she can make her own choices in the future.
Nan Baoyi stood up.
Because of respect, she smiled and said, "Please, Your Highness."
The people from the southern palace rushed towards the flower hall.
Xiao Yi was left alone in his place: "..."
So, isn't anyone paying attention to him now?
His face was as gloomy as water.
Nan Chengli sneaked back and came to him and said, "Second brother, you have to work harder. I am the eldest brother, so I hope you and Jiaojiao are together!"
Xiao Yi's low mood was warmer by his words.
Nan Chengli gave a very active idea: "Anyway, you are Jiaojiao's legitimate fiancée. I was thinking about it. Why don't you deliberately kiss and hug Jiao in front of the prince, and let him know that Jiaojiao already has a master!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Take a complicated look at Nan Chengli.
This guy is really Nan Jiaojiao's biological brother?
I'm afraid it's not a kiss, but a show of it.
"Second brother, I have been in the market for many years. Do you know that this kiss is very particular?" Nan Chengli said more and more, "You have to use force, you even want the prince to hear it. The sound of your kisses, cough, that loud sizzling sound-"
"Enough." Xiao Yi interrupted him with a dark face, "I have my own sense of how to do it."
"It's better to behave in a proper way, and it's better to behave in a proper way!" Nan Chengli smiled. Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at Xiao Yi, "You need to be sizzling!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Chapter completed!
