After listening to what Shangguan Feng'er and Shangguan Chen said, Zheng Sheng thought about it carefully. It seemed that what these two people said was indeed reasonable. If the emperor used this as an excuse to attack the Yan State, he would first lose his way.
Having little help is a truth that all fools understand.
It seems that I can only let this matter go and go back to discuss it with the emperor before making a decision. "What I said before is my own opinion and does not represent my country of Chu. Now I take back what I just said."
If I have offended anything I have said, please forgive me."
Shangguan Bu said with a "kind face", "Prince Shuo is so considerate of the Chu country. I have a lot of little princesses, so I won't care about it. Don't you think so, Feng'er?" After saying that, he looked at Shangguan Feng'er.
Shangguan Feng'er playfully stuck out her tongue at Shangguan Bu, "Yes, Father, Feng'er is a junior and Prince Chu Guoshuo is the elder, so we don't care about emotions or reasons." She also deliberately emphasized Chu.
country.
The implication of Shangguan Feng'er is that as Prince Shuo of the Chu State, you represent the Chu State and an elder. Now you do something mean to a junior. Although it is disgraceful, I, Lord Shangguan Feng'er,
There are a lot of people, so I won’t argue with a villain like you. But you have to remember that although your Chu country is powerful, our Yan country is not easy to mess with.
At this time, Zheng Sheng's face turned red, white, and blue, and he couldn't help but touch his face with his hands. Listening to the words of the two father and daughter, they were very nice and generous, but they were always going back and forth.
He slapped himself in the mouth, but he had to smile and nod in agreement.
He knew that his expression at this time must be very embarrassing. It seems that the emperor of the Yan Kingdom cannot be offended, and the princess is even more untouchable. "Since the princess does not care about me, I can say goodbye with peace of mind."
When the concubines and ministers in the palace heard the words of the emperor and princess, they couldn't help but admire the little princess. Looking at the expression of Prince Zheng Sheng of Chu Guoshuo, everyone's anger just turned into smiles, but everyone was holding back.
"Prince Shuo is so eager to meet the Chu State, so I won't force him to stay. Li Youfu, please send Prince Shuo off." Shangguan Bu said with great regret.
Prince Shuo clasped his hands heavily and said, "Goodbye." After saying that, he left, walking very fast, as if his butt was on fire and he was running for his life.
After Prince Chu Guoshuo left that day, the banquet continued. However, the emperor felt bored by Prince Shuo's disturbance, so he got up and returned to the palace. As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, the ministers naturally felt that it was not interesting, so the banquet started early.
it's over.
Dividing line------
After the coming-of-age ceremony, life was uneventful. For Shangguan Feng'er, the days in the palace could only be summed up in one word: survive. After one day, and another, every day was the same, but even if you count, you could survive.
More than half a year has passed.
"Princess, in half a month it will be the big day for the Fourth Prince and Miss Liu." Yuan'er studied ink for Shangguan Feng'er, and stopped counting with her fingers.
Shangguan Feng'er's coming-of-age ceremony was in January, and now it's mid-July, and Shangguan Chen and Liu Shishi's wedding day is in early August, which only takes a dozen days.
"Okay." Shangguan Feng'er took a long breath, put down the brush, picked up the small strip of paper he had just written, walked to the window, whistled outside the window, and then a carrier pigeon flew to the window.
.
Yuan'er came over and caught the pigeon for Shangguan Feng'er. Shangguan Feng'er tied the small strip of cloth to the pigeon's leg, and Yuan'er let go of the pigeon.
The freed pigeon quickly flew out of the window, taking Shangguan Feng'er's letter to Zixuan, Fengniang and the others, and disappeared into the diffuse sky.
Shangguan Feng'er sat down at the desk again, holding his little head with both hands, puffing out his cheeks and pouting, "Yuan'er, what do you think I should give them on their big day?"
In the past few days, Shangguan Feng'er has been thinking about what to give to Shangguan Chen and his family for their wedding, but after much thought, she still couldn't think of a reason. One is a prince and the other is the daughter of a general. It seems that they are lacking everything.
"I remember that when my mother gave birth to a little brother, our relatives and neighbors gave us rice with eggs on it." Yuan'er tilted her head to the side.
Before, Shangguan Feng'er always asked her not to be servile or servile when calling her, but Yuan'er couldn't change it. Later, she stopped stressing it, and now she is used to her calling herself.
It seems that habits are really terrible things, not only Yuan'er, but also Shangguan Feng'er.
"Ah..." Shangguan Feng'er said in a long tone, a little surprised.
What kind of custom is this? In modern times, money is always given when giving birth to a child, getting married, or even dying. Unexpectedly, the ancients actually gave food.
But think about it, don’t giving gifts to others only give them what they need: food is the most important thing for the people. People in this era are still very direct, frank, and simple. What they need is just to be fed and clothed, so food is very important to them.
To them it is most necessary;
With the improvement of living standards of modern people, what they need is not only food and clothing, but also different needs. Therefore, when giving gifts, instead of trying to figure out what gifts the other party needs, it is more convenient to just give money directly. That's it.
It also misses the original meaning of gift giving.
