Chapter 644 The birthday party begins
"I will do my best to help my disciple."
The more Xuanyuan Jing listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He glanced at Fu Ling, then at Lu Beichen, who was half a head taller than him. He always felt that the situation between these two people was very delicate. Combined with the conversation between them, he realized something, so he pulled Xuanyuan Gen aside and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Gen, it doesn't look like you're just here to celebrate my birthday today? Tell me, what's the reason?"
"You'll know in a moment." Xuanyuan Gen didn't give a direct answer, but kept it a secret.
"You've grown so independent that you're actually playing dumb with your brother."
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but the matter is not clear yet. There is no point in saying more. Please wait."
Since Brother Gen had said so, he no longer insisted and shrugged, saying, "Okay, if you need any help, remember to let me know in advance."
This is why Xuanyuan Gen recognized him. He would not ask too many questions, but would stand by him unconditionally.
If Ouyang Yuan had not interfered in the previous life, how could the brothers have turned against each other, and in the end he couldn't even collect his brother's body.
Suddenly his eyes fixed on one place, his body trembled slightly, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
This action made Xuanyuan Jingzhen baffled: "Geng'er, what's wrong with you?"
He followed Gendi's gaze, which made him even more confused.
As far as the eye can see, there stands a man wearing a golden mask. He is dressed in white and looks like an otherworldly sage who is oblivious to worldly affairs.
As if sensing something, he slowly looked in their direction.
What was even more surprising was that the man in the golden mask slowly walked towards them.
As he approached, he simply nodded slightly and said, "Greetings, Your Highnesses."
"Master, there's no need to be so polite. Today I'll have to trouble you to offer sacrifices to the heavens." He deliberately stood in front of Xuanyuan Gen.
The Imperial Master has a special status and enjoys high prestige in Xuanyuan. Even if they are princes, they will be criticized more or less if they are disrespectful to the Imperial Master.
Ouyang Yuan did not intend to leave easily. He said to Xuanyuan Gen who was standing behind Xuanyuan Jing, "Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last met. Is everything going well?"
He walked out from behind Xuanyuan Jing, put away his previous anger, and nodded with a forced smile: "Thanks to the Imperial Master, everything is fine for me. It's just that I haven't seen the Imperial Master for a long time, and I miss him."
When their eyes met, there was always a hint of hostility in their eyes, as if they might fight at any time.
"Ahem!" Xuanyuan Jing hurried out to smooth things over. Regardless of whether there was really a feud or not, the situation today was special. If something really happened, it would be difficult for Xuanyuan Hong to deal with it.
"National Master, I heard there will be a ritual performance today? I am very much looking forward to it. It has been many years since I last saw one."
"Yes, the Dharma sacrifice is to bless the Xuanyuan Dynasty with good weather and good harvests in the coming year, so that the people of Xuanyuan can live and work in peace and contentment."
"It is a blessing for Xuanyuan to have a national teacher." Xuanyuan Jing complimented.
"Your Highness Prince Jing is very kind! This is my duty."
"Your Highness, I still have to prepare for the upcoming rituals and will be leaving soon."
Xuanyuan Jing made a gesture of invitation: "National Master, please go ahead, please."
Ouyang Yuan looked at Xuanyuan Gen deeply again before turning and leaving.
"Brother Weng, regardless of whether you have any grudges against the Imperial Master, remember that this person is not as simple as he appears. Do not act rashly."
"Brother, have you figured it out?"
"Oh, you grew up under my watch. Even though you restrained yourself a little just now, I couldn't hide it from you. Look at the murderous look in the Imperial Master's eyes."
"Don't worry, my royal brother. I won't do anything rash."
"You've always been sensible in what you do, but just now I saw that you acted subconsciously. Are you hiding something from me?"
Xuanyuan Gen took a deep breath, then looked at Xuanyuan Jing and said, "Brother Emperor, now is not the right time to discuss this matter. I'll explain it to you in detail later."
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Jing patted his shoulder and said.
Xuanyuan Gen looked in the direction of Fu Ling and saw her winking at him.
For some reason, just this small action made him relax completely and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The birthday banquet was about to begin. Xuanyuan Hong held Bu Hanci's hand tightly with his right palm facing up and parallel to his elbow, and the two of them walked over slowly.
Everyone knelt down to pay homage and shouted congratulations.
"No need to be polite, my lords." Xuanyuan Hong waved his hand.
Xuanyuan Hong didn't like trouble, so he didn't prepare any long and boring declarations and just announced the start of the meal.
During the banquet, officials began to drink and chat happily, and the responsibility of Xuanyuan Hong fell to Honggu.
As the king of a country, he naturally knew who entered the palace. Seeing him at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, wondering why he appeared here.
He once sent many secret guards out to look for Bu Hanci's Yin-Yang Love Gu, but in the end there was no news. He never expected to see it at his birthday party today.
"Your Majesty?" Bu Hanci called out several times but he didn't respond.
Coming back to his senses, he swept away his previous confusion and asked Bu Hanci with a smile, "Queen, what's the matter?"
His tone was indescribably gentle, without a trace of solemnity. Only when facing Bu Hanci could he be so relaxed.
When Hong Gu saw this scene, he finally understood where Chu Yunge lost.
Whether a person's life is good or not, whether he is happy or not, can be seen from his face. She is in her forties, but still as dazzling as a girl. This is not something that can be achieved by natural beauty.
Xuanyuan Hong took good care of her, and they only had eyes for each other.
At this moment, Hong Gu let go completely, and his disciple could rest in peace even in the afterlife.
After three rounds of drinks, the eldest prince was the first to present his birthday gift.
Then other princes and princesses also presented their gifts.
When it came to Fu Ling, she took out the scroll calmly.
Everyone thought it was a painting by a famous artist, so the eunuch presented it to Xuanyuan Hong. He slowly opened the scroll and was slightly surprised when he saw the person in the painting.
He looked at Fu Ling deeply, then glanced over his shoulder, held the painting in front of Bu Hanci, and asked, "Queen, do you like it?"
"Oh? Which master's painting is this?" Bu Hanci asked with a smile.
When she saw the painting, she was slightly startled, then she snatched it from Xuanyuan Hong's hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and could not hide the joy on her face.
"It's really similar, it's drawn so well." When he saw the signature, Bu Hanci was shocked again.
She had seen her daughter painting, and she usually only painted landscapes. She never thought that she could even paint portraits so vividly.
I was really surprised and it was very thoughtful. It can be considered a gift for both of them.
Seeing that the Queen liked it, Xuanyuan Hong nodded in satisfaction: "Well, Ling'er, the portrait you gave me is very satisfactory to the Emperor and your mother. The Emperor asked you to choose one treasure from all the birthday gifts. No matter which one you choose, the Emperor will give it to you. How about it?"
"Thank you, Father!"
Everyone was curious about what kind of painting could make Long Xin so happy.
