Chapter 205: Marquis Xibo, Xiang Ting!
*** is very smart.
His words blocked Yan Qing's retreat route. If he continued, Yan Qing would be truly shameless.
Yan Qing could only laugh, and Chen Changan stood up helplessly.
He knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Li Wuling explained: "Mom, this is the new champion Chen Changan."
"He defeated Tiefutu in the Imperial College Competition, launched the bus, RV, and Pindaodao, and even your favorite newspaper was his work."
"Chen Changan has a quick mind and is a pillar of the country."
The old lady's eyes lit up, and the more she looked at Chen Changan, the more she liked him.
Chen Changan stood up with a smile and said in surprise: "General Li, let me ask, is the old lady...her 50th birthday today?"
Everyone was surprised, she was obviously seventy-two!
Li Wuling was so angry that he laughed: "Nonsense, I'm already fifty!"
Chen Changan nodded and apologized: "Oh my, I really can't tell, I thought the old lady just turned fifty this year."
"Look at her. Her complexion is ruddy and full of blessings. Her eyes are flowing like autumn water. She doesn't look like a 70-year-old. She is too young."
"Old lady, it's my fault. I apologize."
All the officials in the court are stupid!
Even Prince Jing'an opened his mouth in shock.
Oh fuck!
Chen Changan, you are such a pretentious person, I give you full marks, you don’t even blush when you lie!
But unfortunately, lies are pleasing to people.
Li Wuling laughed loudly, and the old lady was naturally relieved.
"Top Scholar, I'm not as young as you say. You're just trying to make me happy!"
"I can see that you are a person with a lot of talent. In the future, you should hang out with Yan Qing more often and don't worry about those vulgar etiquettes."
"If that time really comes, I will go and tell the emperor."
What the old lady was talking about was naturally Yan Qing’s emotional problems.
If Yan Qing really likes Chen Changan, no matter what the princess does, the old lady dares to tell the emperor.
Yan Qing blushed: "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The old lady smiled broadly, and the look she gave Chen Changan was enough to kill.
Chen Changan spread out his palms and said, "You blame me for this?"
It’s not me who said that. If you want to get angry, just take it out on the old lady.
Chen Changan took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to the old lady respectfully: "Grandma!"
The old lady was stunned.
Chen Changan would also take advantage of the situation.
No matter what, it would be good for him to have a good relationship with Li Wuling.
"Grandma, Chang'an is an orphan like Li Longxiang."
"I especially hope to have the love and care of my family. You have a kind face and a kind heart. Changan dares to call you grandma."
The old lady moved her lips and sighed.
She also read Chen Changan's serialized novel and secretly hated Prince Ruyang's family.
Chen Changan continued, "I learned that grandma was having a birthday, and I didn't prepare anything good, so I specially sent her a blood spirit!"
"I wish grandma eternal happiness and a long life!"
This is flattery.
Chen Changan opened the wooden box, and a round, shiny blood spirit came out.
The moment the wooden box was opened, the whole yard was filled with fragrance.
Everyone was immediately shocked and started talking about it.
"Blood Spirit, it's really a Blood Spirit!"
"I heard that carrying this thing with you can prolong your life. Prince Jing'an spent 50 million taels to get a pill for the emperor!"
"But the one that Prince Jing'an is looking for is not as big as this one!"
"How much money will this cost?"
"Over 100 million!"
Not only were other officials talking about it, even the emperor was stunned.
You are so good, Chen Changan, you come here to offer the betrothal gift, right?
Even my father doesn't have such a good thing as the Blood Spirit, but you gave it to the old lady. If this is not a betrothal gift, what is it?
Okay, okay, you want to play with me like this, right?
I want a betrothal gift too!
The old lady was horrified and waved her hands repeatedly: "Mr. Zhuangyuan, your gift is too heavy. I can't accept it."
"Grandma, don't you recognize Chang'an?"
Chen Changan shook his head and said, "You are my grandmother. Changan didn't spend much money. It just represents my thoughts."
"Grandma, let Chang'an put it on you. I wish you good health and longevity."
Chen Changan put it on the old lady without saying anything.
The old lady was very happy and took Chen Changan's hand: "Okay, okay, okay, kid, you are thoughtful."
"From now on, this Baidi Li Mansion is your home!"
"Whatever you encounter in the officialdom, you can tell me. Although I can't help you, I can be your listener."
All the officials closed their eyes, but Prince Jing'an laughed out loud.
Not bad!
Chen Chang'an gained the favor of the old lady, which laid the groundwork for him to take charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the future.
And he has evidence against Chen Changan in his hand, so he is not afraid that he will not listen to him!
Prince Jing'an stood up and was about to congratulate, but he heard a "hello" from outside the door.
"Lord Xibo, the family of King Huainan has arrived!"
Xibohou is here!
The King of Huainan is here too!
Li Wuling quickly led all the officials to stand up and wait respectfully.
Xiang Ting, Marquis of Xibo, is in his forties this year. According to seniority, the emperor is his distant uncle and also the son and grandson of the emperor.
He wore a purple-gold crown, which did not make him look fat, and he had a majestic aura as he walked.
King Chen Zhan of Huainan did not show up because he was guarding the border.
Chu Yanran brought Chen Yuwei, Chen Qiuyue and Chen Fusheng over.
Smelling the fragrance of blood spirits filling the yard and seeing the red beads around the old lady's neck, Chu Yanran felt very complicated!
This was supposed to be hers!
This time, the money was spent, but the benefits were taken away by Chen Changan!
"My Lord, you have come from afar, and I am not afraid."
Although Xibohou was not very old, the court etiquette could not be abolished. Li Wuling clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Long live the Marquis, long live the Marquis, long live the Marquis, long live the Marquis!"
Xibohou seemed approachable and pulled the old general: "Uncle Li, we are so familiar with each other, there is no need for all the etiquette."
"I was ordered to come to the capital, and I happened to catch the old lady's birthday banquet. How could I not come?"
"Old Madam, I wish you good fortune and happiness!"
The Duke of Xibo was very tactful. He immediately lifted up his robe and knelt down like the old lady.
The old lady was horrified and waved her hands repeatedly: "Lord Xibo, please get up quickly, you are trying to embarrass me!"
Xibohou stood up amid the exclamations of the crowd: "Old lady, according to seniority, you are my grandmother, I kowtow to you, what's wrong with that?"
Hearing what King Xibo said, Chen Changan glanced at him.
King Xibo also came to recognize his grandmother?
No one spoke, and the Duke of Xibo waved back.
Eight strong men came over carrying a statue that was more than one meter tall. King Xibo pulled open the red silk and saw a bald and barefoot monk holding a staff.
Next to each monk, there is a couplet.
The first line of the couplet is: With the golden tin in hand, you can open the gates of hell.
The second line is: With a compassionate heart, one can save all sentient beings in the six realms.
Horizontal banner: The great vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The old lady was a Buddhist, so she was extremely happy when she saw this jade Buddha.
Xibohou said calmly: "Old lady, I know you believe in Buddhism, so I specially made this jade Buddha for you together with the King of Huainan."
"I hope that with the sincere recitation of the old lady, the Great Chu will be able to enjoy good weather and peace and prosperity."
Chu Yanran stepped forward and nodded, as if trying to take credit for it.
The old lady smiled so much that her face was wrinkled: "Okay, okay, Marquis Xibo, Princess Chen, please take a seat quickly."
Xibohou met ***, greeted King Jing'an, and sat at the table with Chu Yanran.
Then he raised his head, his eyes flickering with tenderness: "Miss Yan, it has been many years, are you still unwilling to marry me?"
Chen Changan's eyes were wide open, and he looked at King Xibo in surprise.
This guy actually likes Yan Qing?
