Where prosperity ends, flowers never end
Chapter 284: Bell and Drum Feast
The autumn breeze was pleasant, neither too cold nor too dry. After all, Ran Qianxi was a playboy in the capital, so naturally the birthday party was full of guests. Especially after her brother had made new achievements and was awarded a higher title, all the young ladies from middle-class families came to curry favor with him.
He had two or three close friends and a few cronies, but no one could imagine that Wei Jiguo had the nerve to bring his ambiguous object to congratulate him.
In the pavilion, Xue Rentao, the world's number one prostitute, was performing music. The melodious and lingering tune was intoxicating. It was a song that should only be heard in heaven and rarely on earth, and it was delivered to the guest's ears as easily as breathing. The colorful chrysanthemums were in full bloom by the railing, and she looked even more dazzling than before.
The banquet was set up in the courtyard. The pavilion by the clear water became a stage and the entire Happy House was like an audience seat. Dances, singing, guzheng, zither, ensembles and operas performed continuously, attracting guests to stop and watch.
The actor's autumn-water-like glance makes all men dream about him, the musician's singing of "Spring River Moon Night" is like a red plum blossom blooming in the cold, and the courtesan's slender waist dance sets the trend of the banquet.
Ran Qianxi just chatted with Baili Shang in the back hall and ignored all the hustle and bustle in the courtyard. Mo Chun and Suqi were busy going in and out, and Tan Qianhuan followed them. That was because he knew Baili Shang was in the back hall so he didn't want to go in.
The dress of Puwan woman was very different from that of the beauties in the Central Plains, so she attracted the attention of most of the guests. They all looked up and then returned their gazes to the stage.
The scene when Hao Yu led his troops was extremely shocking. The soldiers were lined up neatly outside the mansion, and twelve of them followed him to the inner courtyard on the left and right. All eyes were caught by him in an instant, and he felt an extraordinary sense of pride. Such a grand scene was simply very impressive.
Hao Yu: "Oh, isn't this the General Wei who abandoned you after having sex with you? Oh, no, no, now I should call you the General Jizhou who abandoned you after having sex with you."
The sarcastic tone was full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction towards Wei Jiguo. He didn't understand why the other party would bring back a woman from an enemy country, but he knew that it was not okay to cuckold the loyal Xi Ye.
The guests nearby suddenly laughed in unison. The first act on the stage was "The Golden Chamber", and the next act turned out to be the rumored tragedy "Wang Baochuan"...
At first, the guests didn't understand why such a controversial tragedy was performed at the birthday banquet, but now they know that it was a good show that Ran Qianxi specially prepared for General Wei.
Princess Pu Wan was unaware of the meaning of the play but was watching it with great interest. Ran Qianxi had never been a good and law-abiding person.
As the gongs and drums sounded in front of the thousand-foot red tent, the audience cheered loudly. Every word and every sentence was a powerful hidden arrow that could kill Wei Ji State.
As soon as the curtain was drawn, Ran Qianxi ran out as fast as she could. She came here just to laugh at Wei Jiguo's joke. Even though she knew that he was like a thorn in her side, she still cheered loudly!
Ran Qianxi: “Okay!”
She caught a glimpse of Xue Pinggui's grim expression outside the play, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw that Princess Dai Zhan was enjoying it. Nothing else could happen. Xue Pinggui outside the play put down the gift and left Happy House in a gloomy manner.
Seeing him leave dejectedly, Ran Qianxi couldn't help but shout out loud!
"Hahaha, cool!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party reached the door, he was stopped by her with a sarcastic look on his face!
"Where is Prince Consort Wei going?"
At this time, Wei Jiguo finally lost the last bit of his good expression.
Wei Jiguo: "What do you want?"
She raised her eyebrows and walked in front of him in a pretentious manner: "I dare not do anything, you are the prince consort of the enemy country... No, you are the prince consort of the conquered country."
At that time, he could no longer tolerate the insults from his close ones, and gave a warning fiercely!
"Don't go too far."
It was this warning that completely angered Ran Qianxi!
"I just want to go too far just to see you feel ashamed!"
Wei Jiguo: "You don't have to hold on to me. You threw me away a long time ago."
Ran Qianxi: "Yeah, I'm a bastard too, but I just can't stand the fact that you're a bastard too!"
No matter how complicated the emotions are, they can be expressed in just one word: his speechless roar!
Wei Jiguo: “You!”
A few meaningless sneers marked the complete end of this relationship, and were also the last disdain and ridicule that Ran Qianxi gave him.
Ran Qianxi: “Huh.”
Only when the other party left in anger did the guests turn back to continue watching the show. The show had already reached the stage where Prime Minister Xue Pinggui was counting grain.
Tan Qianhuan stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene in front of him with a slight smile on his face. Now his position was unshakable. As he turned around, he seemed to be even more proud, and naturally took a step forward with a heroic and imposing manner.
When Ran Qianxi sat in the position with the best view, Shu Han came over in a handsome dark blue suit, holding a gift folding fan in his hand and stroking it against his chest, looking exactly like Shu Xuanhe.
She sat up straight instantly. Although this was not the first time that the father-son debt had happened, she felt guilty for accepting it even though she knew the relationship between the characters was clear.
Ran Qianxi: "Brother Shu..."
Unexpectedly, the other party did not explode but smiled calmly and gently: "Why are you so nervous?"
Ran Qianxi: "Haha... No... Did you come back on purpose..."
How could the other party not hear the guilty tone, but he still smiled faintly and put the gift into her arms, then sat down with his sleeves brushed: "Yes, why wouldn't I come to your birthday."
Ran Qianxi seemed even more embarrassed as she stroked the gift box in her hands: "Ah, hahaha, okay, okay..."
Shu Han: "You seem to talk less."
Ran Qianxi: "Ah? No... No..."
Shu Han did not ask any more questions but just laughed it off. Baili Shang, who was watching this scene from behind, threw a wine glass at him fiercely. He raised his eyelids and waved his fan to catch it. The wine glass turned on the fan and landed steadily on the table: "The virtuous king has great internal strength." After saying this, he stood up and bowed to Baili Shang: "Your Majesty, I have seen you."
Baili Shang took a few steps towards this side with his hands behind his back, his aura was dangerous, and every move made Ran Qianxi panic...
Baili Shang: "Did the young marquis come down the mountain on purpose?"
Shu Han: "The Second Miss is my close friend, so why wouldn't she come to the banquet at your mansion?"
As he finished speaking, he saw a murderous look in his eyes. The romantic prince actually began to protect his food: "Good that you are here, you should eat more. You should drink a few more cups with me tonight."
Shu Han: "Yes, I obey your command."
I knew tonight would be a fierce drinking contest...
As they approached the Xikai Pavilion, dance music continued to be heard. Lu Weien came with his lover. The person next to him was intellectual and elegant, and looked one or two years older than him. Perhaps such a shy and immature man should find a gentle woman instead of a strong and overbearing sister.
Ran Qianxi sincerely congratulated him when she saw this scene. After all, he was not worthy of her wholehearted commitment at the beginning, so she would not feel disappointed even if she found her ideal person in just a few months.
