Everyone looked at Ye Yibai holding a huge baggage in his hand and couldn't help but frown. This baggage was so big that it could hold a person inside.
Eunuch Wan was also confused. When they were sent in just now, did they carry such a big baggage?
Could it be that he is old and has forgotten?
Seeing Ye Yibai approaching, Ye Chenxiao said hurriedly: "No, no, we haven't prepared any gifts for you, so there's no need to break..."
Before he could finish speaking, the eldest prince was caught off guard by a rectangular object.
Hua Yanxi smiled and said: "We are juniors, so naturally we should give gifts to our eldest brother."
The eldest prince smiled at Ye Yibai and said, "Thank you, Xiao Wu, thank you brothers and sisters."
Ye Yibai was still a little uncomfortable being called Xiao Wu in front of his face, so he curled his lips and said, "Open it and take a look. If you don't like it, you can change it."
"This" the eldest prince hesitated, how could he open a gift in front of others.
"You can drive if you are told, there is so much nonsense." Ye Yibai said impatiently, what bothered him was Ye Chenxiao, mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
Yechenxiao had no choice but to do as he was told. The moment he opened the box, his soft eyebrows were stunned and he said in surprise: "Xiangzhuhuai brush?"
Inside the box is a purple writing brush with a body made of Xiang bamboo. A Sanskrit text is engraved on it with a very small seal. The soft bristles are made of precious wolf hair.
This is not just a matter of price, but also that it is difficult to buy.
"Brothers and sisters, this, this is too precious." Ye Chenxiao said hurriedly, about to return.
When Ye Yibai heard this, his tone was impatient: "You have a lot of things to do, don't stop us from giving gifts, next one."
As he said that, he put a hand on Ye Chenxiao's shoulder and pushed him back to his seat.
Yechenxiao held the box and couldn't laugh or cry.
Ye Yibai has a good memory. He remembers everything Hua Yanxi said just now. He also remembers Men Qing who the gift is for.
He held the bundle in one hand and dug into it with the other. When he took it out, he stuffed it into the hands of the two sisters-in-law.
Then he took out a few smaller boxes and handed them to his nephews. Facing the children, he moved much more gently.
The eldest prince and his family were holding gifts. The adults were relatively calm, but the children were overjoyed and couldn't wait to open them and look at them.
Boys have exquisite glazed horses, just big enough for them to hold with one hand, and can be used as paperweights.
A girl is like a piece of crystal clear warm jade.
When other people on the side saw Hua Yanxi's generosity, some were envious, while others were disdainful.
A businessman's daughter has no other skills except money, and her whole body smells like copper.
"Thank you, fifth uncle, thank you, fifth aunt." The little guys followed their mother's words and shouted happily.
This was the first time Ye Yibai heard such a soft and waxy voice calling him Uncle Wu. He subconsciously rubbed the tip of his nose with his index finger, but it touched the cold mask.
"Next time, come to my fifth uncle's house to play. My family is very rich." Ye Yibai said.
Several princes in the palace immediately let out disdainful snorts.
This fool is so confident in eating soft food.
As far as your poor house is concerned, the rich one is not your wife, so there is nothing to boast about.
Hua Yanxi walked to the next table.
This time, without any introduction from Aunt Chang, Hua Yanxi took the initiative to ask: "Third brother, third sister-in-law."
The third prince, Ye Lingjun, has only one main concubine, who is Concubine Xian's cousin and the legitimate daughter of General Yao. The two were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship. They had a son and no side concubines.
The third prince's concubine Yao Wenyu said with a smile: "Fifth younger brother and sister, I have heard that you were a heroine who beat up the housekeeper of the Jiang family that day and tore Jiang Wanrou to pieces in the Yang Pavilion."
The third prince's concubine Yao Wenyu has a gentle name, but has a very fiery personality and is even more direct in her speech.
This sentence directly made the queen and the concubines who were related to the Jiang family look ugly.
Helplessness flashed across the third prince's handsome brows, and he said softly: "Wen Yu."
The third prince's concubine pouted at him: "I'm not wrong. Didn't you tell me this?"
The third prince immediately lowered his head, put his hand to his lips and coughed twice.
Hua Yanxi was also unambiguous and slightly cupped her hands: "Third sister-in-law, thank you."
The third princess patted her son's head: "Why are you still standing there, calling someone?"
The third prince's son, Ye Xi, has a personality more similar to that of the third prince. Although he is only four years old, he looks very stable. His face did not change even after being beaten by his mother and concubine. He saluted politely and thoughtfully: "Fifth uncle, fifth aunt."
Ye Yibai had already taken out the gift and handed it to the three of them. After handing it to his little nephew, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his head.
Helplessness flashed in Ye Xi's eyes, but there was no disgust. It was as if she just regarded Ye Yibai as a child who didn't understand anything.
He heard his father say that his fifth uncle was very smart before he became mentally ill.
The Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince saw that the gifts Hua Yanxi gave were of great value, and they couldn't help but look forward to them.
Now they have all been deceived by Hua Yanxi. If they don't give something valuable today, they will never give up.
However, what they didn't expect was that Hua Yanxi led Ye Yibai directly past the table of the fourth and sixth princes and walked to the table of the seventh prince Ye Juechen, which made them dissatisfied.
"What do you two mean, you didn't see us?" the Sixth Prince said dissatisfied.
The fourth prince also frowned.
Hearing this, Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, fourth brother, sixth brother."
Ye Yibai didn't even look at them, but took the time to look at Ye Juechen and mouthed: "Do you want a gift? Please ask me."
Ye Juechen looked at Ye Yibai's shabby appearance and wanted to punch him.
The sixth prince was still making a fuss: "What's the point of sincerity in just calling people? Where are our gifts?"
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows: "Why do I have to give you gifts?"
"What? You?" The sixth prince choked at her words. No need to ask why?
"They all have it." The fourth prince held his breath.
Now it is no longer a question of money, but a question of face.
Everyone else has it, but they don't. It's so embarrassing, and it looks like they are not part of the royal family.
Hua Yanxi said: "The Queen asked me to recognize someone. It's our first meeting, so naturally we have to prepare gifts. The fourth and sixth princes and I are old acquaintances, so naturally we don't need to be so strangers."
"You, you are making excuses." The sixth prince said: "Since you want to give gifts, you should give them all. How can there be anyone like you? You are called ignorant of etiquette."
If you are knowledgeable and interested, you will give it even if it is a gift. It is too impolite to leave someone empty-handed in front of you.
Hua Yanxi frowned: "I didn't give you a gift, so that means you don't know etiquette. Do you think you know etiquette when you reach out to me for a gift? Also, you, you, you, who are open and silent, I am your fifth sister-in-law, and he is your fifth sister-in-law.
Brother, have you called us from the beginning? I just don’t know what it means.”
The sixth prince blushed after being scolded by Hua Yanxi. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the emperor's voice from the high platform say in a deep voice: "It's really embarrassing if I don't apologize to your fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law quickly."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince was so frightened that his legs softened, and he felt a dull pain in the place where he had been hit. He quickly apologized to Hua Yanxi.
