Traveling through the ancient times

A few days before Lu Mingqian's birthday, Lu Mingcheng and Jiang Ruixue both received the invitations drawn at the beginning of the year and came over two days in advance to help set up the scene.

The lawn outside the resort hotel I drew at the beginning of the year was decorated with gauze curtains, various flowers and plants, and candlesticks, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.

The most distinctive feature is the pond on the other side of the lawn. At the beginning of the year, a platform was built in the middle of the pond, surrounded by a groove about thirty to forty centimeters wide, which surrounds the platform.

The grooves were filled with crystal stones that were brought back from the Colorful Fairy Island before the painting began at the beginning of the year. Water was then brought up from the pond below. The stones were soaked in the water, and under the sunlight, they emitted colorful light.

There are water lilies planted in the pond below. Many flowers have bloomed now, lying quietly on the water surface, reflecting the beauty of the platform above.

The wind chimes on the branches make pleasant sounds when the breeze blows!

In a blink of an eye, it was the 18th. The two long tables on the lawn were covered with champagne-colored tablecloths and filled with a variety of fruit snacks, some pickled cooked food and various fine wines.

This was the buffet birthday cocktail party that Chuan Shuhua prepared for Lu Mingqian.

Previously, Chushuhua had asked Lu Mingqian indirectly who he had celebrated his birthday with in the past. Lu Mingqian replied that he had always celebrated his birthday with generals and soldiers in the military camp...

Nearing noon, the guests invited by New Year's Eve arrived one after another. Because it was Lu Mingqian's birthday, the guests invited by New Year's Eve were all Lu Mingqian's acquaintances.

There were Lu Mingcheng, Jiang Ruixue, Qi Muhe, and of course the king was coming, along with the housekeeper of the Third Prince's Mansion. There were also her parents and brother.

Because the king was present, no one else was invited. Although there were not many people, they were all acquaintances, so there was no awkwardness.

Ever since Nian Chuhua was injured, Lu Mingqian had been coming to her house almost every day. After spending a long time together, Nian Chuhua's parents gradually accepted the fact that Lu Mingqian, the Third Prince, would be their future son-in-law.

Nian Shiwei, the younger brother of Nian Chuhua, has adapted even better. Lu Mingqian's careful care for Nian Chuhua has been seen by the Nian family, and his younger brother is very grateful to Lu Mingqian.

Every time he came back from vacation and saw Lu Mingqian, he would call him brother-in-law, which made Nian Shihua feel embarrassed, but Lu Mingqian was quite satisfied with this title. Therefore, when Nian Shiwei said that he wanted to learn kung fu, Lu Mingqian would respond to his future brother-in-law's request and directly sent him to the Dark Guard Camp.

At noon, everyone had arrived. Lu Mingqian looked at the birthday banquet that Nianchuhua had personally prepared for him. He was surprised and moved. The king was very curious about the layout of the venue and looked around.

Lu Mingcheng served as the master of ceremonies for this birthday party. He delivered a passionate speech on the carefully built podium, and the audience below also applauded in cooperation!

"Okay, now let's invite today's protagonist, Mr. Lu Mingqian, to come on stage and say a few words to everyone!"

Lu Mingqian turned his head to look at Nian Chuhua, who gave him an encouraging gesture before slowly walking onto the stage.

"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party today. Most importantly, I want to thank Miss Chuan-chung Hua for setting up this scene for me. I like it very much."

Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng cheered from below, "And us, we also arranged it together."

"Okay, thank you, brother and Miss Jiang..."

Lu Mingqian didn't know what to say except words of thanks. He could have been fine in boosting the morale of the soldiers in the barracks, but he was a bit socially anxious about this, so he quickly walked off the stage!

Lu Mingqian stepped forward and announced that the birthday party had officially begun!

Everyone brought the birthday gifts they had prepared for Lu Mingqian. It was the first time that Lu Mingqian's arms were stuffed with so many gifts, and he felt a little overwhelmed. Xingyi quickly went up to take them and carefully placed them on the table beside him.

Nian Chuhua guided the king and Lu Mingqian to the long table and told them how to serve food at the party.

The king found it very interesting, so he took a plate and started choosing his favorite food.

Shouchuhua invited eunuch Changde and the housekeeper to eat together, "Today is to celebrate the third prince's birthday. The more people there are, the more lively the meal will be. Don't be too formal."

The king thought so too, so he told them to get some food as well, "Listen to Chu Hua, go!"

After getting the king's approval, the two of them went to the side and picked up the plate, imitating what Chushul had done. They picked up some food and put it on the plate, then walked to a table behind the king and sat down.

Not to mention people like Hua Ling and Ming Yue, they just drew a word at the beginning of the year and went happily.

In this way, the masters sat at one table, and the maids and guards sat at another table.

At the beginning of the year, the painting also invited a dance troupe to dance to entertain them.

The painting at the beginning of the year shows them eating and chatting, and a woman is dancing on a platform in the middle of the pond.

Everyone happily enjoyed a novel buffet together.

For the afternoon entertainment, the first month of the year was to play mahjong. The prince and Lu Mingqian took Yanshu to one table, and the girls to another.

Nian Shiwei was standing by and asking Xingyi for advice on martial arts. Nian Dali and Luo Shi didn't know how to play mahjong, so Nian Chuhua said he would teach them, but they were unwilling to learn and just sat aside and watched their son practice martial arts.

They are very pleased to see their two children grow up slowly and become such outstanding people.

It was not until dusk that they put away the mahjong and started their evening activities.

The waiter carried out the grill and placed it on the grass. The dishes had already been prepared, and Lu Mingcheng wanted to show off his skills again. Since there were so many people, it would be too much for one person to grill, so Chushouhua asked the waiter to carry out two more grills. Xingyi and Yanshu walked over immediately and took one each.

After a while, a fragrant aroma wafted out, and Hua Ling and Ming Yue brought the roasted food over and placed it in front of the King and others.

"Please enjoy your meal, Your Majesty!" Nian Chuhua invited the King and others to eat barbecue and drink fruit wine.

The king looked at Lu Mingcheng's skilled appearance and couldn't help but wonder, "When did the second brother learn this trick?"

"After coming to Qunan, father, as the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. My son has learned a lot from this trip." Lu Mingcheng said in a very conscientious manner, shocking the king.

Lu Mingcheng grilled a skewer of lamb and handed it to the king. The king looked at the skewer in his hand, which was grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and sizzling with oil. He took a bite and it was indeed delicious!

Lu Mingcheng has become a different person since he woke up from his coma. He used to stay at home all day long, but after coming to Qunan, he became much more lively and cheerful. It can be seen that Qunan is really a good place!

Both of his two sons found good marriages after coming here, but his eldest son has not found anything after being here for several months. This child is hopeless!

Humph, just thinking about him gives me a headache. These two sons are still very obedient. The king looked at Chushulhua and then at Jiang Ruixue. He was quite satisfied with these two future daughters-in-law!

All those people who refused to get married suddenly found good marriage partners. This old father felt relieved by two-thirds. One can't help but sigh that fate is predestined!
