Being a princess in a world with more men than women
Chapter 431 A Different New Year's Eve Banquet
This year is of special significance to Xu Yuexi, because this is the first Spring Festival she spends with her husbands after traveling to this world, so she attaches great importance to it.
On the day of New Year's Eve, before daybreak, Xu Yuexi could not wait to get up and sit at her desk to carefully draw up a long menu. After the menu was ready, Xu Yuexi personally sent it to the imperial kitchen and instructed the imperial chefs to strictly follow the menu she listed to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Xi'er, your husband will take care of these things. You are pregnant now, so you shouldn't work so hard."
Tang Liuqing, who was accompanying Xu Yuexi, couldn't stop her and could only keep persuading her.
"It's just writing a menu. I'm not cooking, so how can it be considered hard work? I know you can arrange these things, but you are from another country after all. I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you."
"Xi'er, don't worry. In fact, Mo Yu has arranged all these things very well. We haven't been neglected at all. It's just like being at home."
Lou Moyu has indeed put a lot of effort into these aspects.
After all, this was Xu Yuexi's first visit to his country, and she would spend New Year's Eve with him. For Lou Moyu, this was undoubtedly something that made him feel excited and thrilled.
The seven princes who were married to foreign princes, Ying Zhiyao's Fengying Kingdom and Shangguan Li's Biluo Kingdom all bordered his Lieyan Kingdom.
Although Xu Yuexi was already in Lieyan Country at that time, it was not difficult for her to go to the other two countries.
After all, the time it takes to go from where Xu Yuexi was at the time to Fengying Country or Biluo Country is almost the same as going to Handan, and it may even be shorter! But she still chose to come to Handan without hesitation. How could he not be moved by this unique favor?
Moreover, Xu Yuexi was pregnant and her body was getting heavier day by day. Lou Moyu tried his best to arrange everything perfectly so that she could live here peacefully and wait for the birth of her baby.
In order to make her feel at ease, he had to make proper arrangements for her other husbands. After all, considering how much she cared about them, if he dared to make things difficult for them or mistreat them, she would definitely be unhappy. At that time, being reprimanded by her would be a small matter. He was afraid that she would simply take them away in anger, which would be a loss.
He is now the emperor and no longer has the freedom he had when he was the crown prince. Therefore, in order to keep Xu Yuexi by his side, Lou Moyu really put in a lot of effort.
On New Year's Eve, the Yangchun Hall of Fuxiang Palace was brightly lit and decorated with lanterns. Xu Yuexi, Xu Fengyu and her husbands sat around the table, which was filled with sumptuous delicacies.
Originally, Lou Moyu had already made arrangements, but after learning that Xu Yuexi had prepared the menu, he mainly used Xu Yuexi's menu and only added a few specialties of the Flame Country.
The other husbands naturally also made preparations, but they did not want to steal the limelight from their wives and Lou Moyu, the "hosts", so they only added one dish each.
As the saying goes, many hands make light work. Although each person only added one dish, there were many of them. With the ten husbands, plus the ones arranged by Xu Yuexi and Lou Moyu, it was quite spectacular when they were all put together.
On the two joined tables, at first glance, there were a dazzling array of colorful plates and dishes stacked up, like a small mountain of food.
Xu Yuexi, wearing a gorgeous red brocade robe, sat at the top. On her left was Tang Liuqing, and on her right was Lou Moyu, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. The other husbands were also dressed in their best attire and sat in order.
"My dear wife, I have never seen so many people sitting together to have a meal like this. It feels quite lively." Ying Zhiyao said.
"Indeed, this feeling is good!" Leng Molin said.
In this world, the hierarchy is clear. Princes like Ying Zhiyao, who were born in the imperial family, eat at their own table. It was only after they married Xu Yuexi that they started to eat at the same table with two or more people.
This was the first time for them to arrange more than a dozen people to sit around a table for dinner like Xu Yuexi did today.
"The New Year is supposed to be lively. Sitting at separate tables is too lonely. The New Year's Eve is for family reunion. I like everyone to sit together. It's so nice to be together! From now on, we will have New Year's Eve dinner like this every year!" said Xu Yuexi.
“When we each ascend the throne and become emperors in the future, I’m afraid we will never be able to gather together like we do today.” Long Haotian said.
"Don't think about the future, cherish the present. But Haotian's words reminded me. Look at me..."
Xu Yuexi took out a SLR camera from the space mall and started taking pictures of everyone. Then she taught Qingfeng how to take a group photo of them.
Under Xu Yuexi's command, this group of tall men with different temperaments posed in various handsome and charming poses, and cooperated with her tacitly to take one group of photos after another.
When the shooting was over, everyone gathered together with great anticipation. Xu Yuexi simply pressed a few buttons, and clear and realistic photos appeared before everyone's eyes.
When they saw the images that looked exactly like themselves, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces. They had never thought that there was such a magical thing in the world that could preserve a person's appearance and scene so accurately.
"This... this is simply incredible!" Shangguan Li exclaimed.
"This is countless times better than the on-site paintings done by court painters!" Liu Yunxue praised.
Others nodded in agreement, agreeing with his opinion.
After all, although the paintings of court painters can depict characters and scenes, it is difficult to achieve such an identical effect in any way.
"Well, this wonderful moment has been preserved. We can watch it later. Let's have our meal first. After that, I will take you to a place that will broaden your horizons."
In the past in China, people always liked to take photos when they got together. Here, she has this condition, and of course she can't waste it.
Xu Yuexi picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of fresh fish, and the husbands also started eating. Xu Yuexi also took out some famous Chinese wine from the space mall for everyone to taste.
Ever since Xu Yuexi revealed the secret, she no longer had to hide it. She could do whatever she wanted and take whatever she wanted.
After knowing Xu Yuexi's identity, everyone accepted her telekinesis well. They even looked forward to it very much, because Xu Yuexi would give them surprises every time.
On this New Year's Eve, the world outside was snowing and freezing cold. However, it was warm as spring in Yangchun Hall. Eight braziers were burning brightly, and a sumptuous New Year's Eve banquet was being held.
The dinner lasted for a full hour and a half, with constant laughter and joy.
Except for Xu Yuexi who didn't drink because she was pregnant, the other twelve men drank a lot.
Not only did they finish the wine they prepared, they also drank up the seven bottles of strong liquor that Xu Yuexi brought out. Seeing that they drank so much, Xu Yuexi didn't dare to bring out any more wine, after all, drinking too much alcohol would harm the body.
But what surprised Xu Yuexi was that despite drinking so much wine, none of her brother and her husbands got drunk. They all had red faces, talked and laughed, and did not seem drunk at all, which made Xu Yuexi admire them very much.
But Xu Yuexi would never have imagined that the reason these men didn't get drunk was entirely due to their strong inner strength.
In order to avoid making a fool of themselves in front of their wives, they all secretly used their inner strength to force out the strong liquor in their stomachs, which turned into wisps of light smoke and slowly seeped out from their pores and disappeared into thin air.
Xu Fengyu is the eldest brother-in-law, and he would not embarrass himself in front of his brothers-in-law, so he did the same thing.
After the dinner, Xu Yuexi took her brother and husbands to her own space. This really opened the eyes of these twelve men as Xu Yuexi said!
