Chapter 230 Past events (6)
"Brother Changqing"
Shen Qingli took small steps to Wei Changqing and saluted him gracefully.
"Miss Shen"
Wei Changqing returned the greeting politely and nodded in an elegant response.
"Is it too formal to call me Miss Shen? If you don't mind, can you call me Qingli?"
"Miss Shen, you are joking. We are not that close. If I rashly call out Miss Shen's name, I am afraid it will damage her reputation."
Wei Changqing smiled and refused without any flaws.
"Brother Changqing is right. Qingli was abrupt."
Shen Qingli had expected Wei Changqing's refusal. She did not show any embarrassment on her face. Instead, she bowed as requested.
"You keep calling me Brother Changqing. Is he your brother or mine?"
Wei Changsheng was running from a distance, followed closely by Shi Yunan. The two of them ran all the way over there, and their clothes were a little messy.
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Qingli's face turned red instantly.
"I……"
"Why are you here looking for my brother Changqing instead of going back to find your brother Shen Dayong?"
Wei Changsheng folded his arms and glanced at her.
Wei Changqing sighed silently, "Changsheng, don't be rude."
"I listen to my elder brother"
After saying that, Wei Changsheng smiled and stood there staring at Shen Qingli.
At this time, Shen Dayong, who came to look for his sister, came over.
"Sister, why are you here? Come back with your brother."
As soon as Shen Dayong saw his sister in front of the Wei brothers, he immediately understood the situation.
Why is this girl so disobedient? I have to discuss Qingli’s marriage with my father later.
Shen Dayong walked while thinking, and motioned his sister to follow him.
Shen Qingli saluted, then lowered her head and went back with Shen Dayong.
At the poetry and singing party, everyone will form teams to recite poems and compose essays, and of course there are also people who create their own works.
Their works were not read out on the spot but written on rice paper and then handed over to the eunuchs around the third prince by the attendants around them.
Afterwards, they will be sent to the teachers in the Hanlin Academy for review, and finally the top ten best poems will be selected. The top ten will receive different rewards.
Shi Yunan did not participate in this kind of event, and Wei Changsheng, who was not good at his studies, naturally would not join in the fun.
Wei Changqing had already entered the court as an official, and would not participate in activities among these young people.
The reason I was invited this time was just to bring my younger brothers over to see the place and to maintain the friendship among colleagues.
After the poetry and singing session, there was a banquet.
Everyone moved to the bedroom of the Third Prince, the Qixin Palace.
They were seated according to their family and official position, with the children of the three major families and first and second rank officials at the front, followed by the rest.
The princes and princesses sat at the top of the table, while servants came in and out carrying delicacies and fine wines from the imperial kitchen and placed them on the table.
"Wow, the imperial kitchen has Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, braised pork, fried chicken breast, and dim sum. There are so many delicious dishes!"
Wei Changsheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to pick up one of the dishes with his chopsticks.
Wei Changqing looked at his brother's appearance and held his forehead helplessly.
My brother is always well-fed at home, so why does he look like a hungry wolf pouncing on his prey when he comes out?
He turned around and saw Shi Yunan staring at the wine in the glass, so he said softly, "An'an, eat first. Children shouldn't drink."
Shi Yunan came back to his senses and responded obediently.
He actually didn't want to drink, but suddenly thought that he came here just because he drank.
So if I drink here, can I go back to the town?
"Hour, eat this"
Wei Changsheng used a serving chopstick to pick up a peach blossom-shaped dessert for Shi Yunan and put it in the bowl.
Seeing that the other person was so anxious and wolfing down the food that he still had time to pick up some food for himself, Shi Yunan smiled.
"Pine nut and lily pastry is delicious too, try it An An"
Wei Changqing also picked up some food for him using the serving chopsticks.
When the banquet was halfway through, a man dressed like a eunuch walked quickly to the side of the Third Prince, then leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
Silda's expression changed, but she didn't say anything yet.
The next second, the guards at the door shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
"Prince! The prince is here!"
"Why would the prince come? Didn't he say before that he wouldn't come?"
"Who knows? The prince is always moody. He comes whenever he wants. Why does he need so many excuses?"
Everyone was whispering, and even the princes and princesses sitting up there were not as calm as they appeared.
"It's my royal brother who's here!"
The fifth princess said excitedly, and she stood on tiptoe to see Xi Jingzhi.
The fourth princess held her to prevent her from falling.
Xiaoliu was still eating. The Second Prince was looking coldly at the passage, and the Third Prince's expression was not very good either.
Shi Yunan had just put the snack into his mouth when he heard the notification.
But he ignored it and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Instead, Wei Changsheng stopped eating and looked at him nervously, as if he was afraid that he would do something crazy.
Xi Jingzhi was wearing a red dress, with his long hair untied. Only a small bunch of hair was tied up with a red ribbon behind his head. His enchanting face was expressionless.
He walked over slowly, looking coldly at Silda at the top.
When passing by Yunan, he didn't even linger on her eyes.
Shi Yunan paused while picking up food with chopsticks in his hand, and finally looked up at the man.
It was still that familiar handsome face, the tall and proud figure, and the arrogant attitude that looked down on everyone in the world.
But the pair of fox eyes that always looked at him in the past now looked at someone else and never looked at him again.
"Tsk," Shi Yunan turned his head away in dissatisfaction.
"Royal Brother"
Seeing Xi Jingzhi approaching her, Xierda quickly stood up and said.
"I heard that you also proposed a candidate for the Crown Princess to my mother?"
As soon as the cold voice came out, the smile on Silda's face froze.
"Yes? Brother, why is it yes?"
The fifth princess asked innocently.
"Xiaowu, stop talking and eat quietly."
The fourth princess's face changed and she quickly took the snacks on the table and stuffed them into the fifth princess's mouth.
I don’t know whether this little ancestor is really not afraid or just pretending not to be afraid.
"Brother Emperor, I..."
"As I recall, the Third Prince has not found a wife yet. I think the daughter of the Fei family is very good. I will go to my father in person to ask for your marriage."
Xi Jingzhi sneered, then turned around and left.
Silda’s face was pale, and her entire expression was extremely ugly.
Everyone knows that Fei Luozhi, the daughter of the second-rank military officer Fei, is a fat woman who is uneducated and extremely fond of teasing handsome men.
I'm over 25 and still unmarried, and now my royal brother has awarded such a man to me with just one sentence.
