Seeing the gifts prepared by his brothers, Sima Yue Junlang's face showed a hint of sadness.

Li Feixue, who was sitting opposite, saw Sima Yue's weird look and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot, you deserve it."

"Who are you calling an idiot?" The Protector of the State, who had excellent ears, heard the muttering of his daughter next to him and couldn't help but look sideways at her with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Feixue was startled, and then denied it repeatedly: "No, my daughter didn't tell anyone. My father heard it wrong."

"Really?" The Protector of the State stared at his daughter deeply for a moment, then turned to look at Sima Yue opposite and said, "Why hasn't King Yue stepped forward to offer a gift? Could it be that he didn't prepare a gift?"

"He has been ready for a long time!" What Li Feixue blurted out suddenly stopped when he saw the deep eyes cast by his father: "My daughter means that today is the emperor's birthday, and as the prince, Prince Yue will naturally prepare

Gift."

Seeing his daughter's obvious guilty look, the Protector of the Country sighed softly.

Feixue has been more sensible and sensible than Feishuang since he was a child, and he has the courage and courage to be equal to that of men. He has always had high hopes for Feixue, so although he has heard that his daughter and King Yue are getting close, he firmly believes that it is just a matter of time.

Just rumors.

But judging from Feixue's words and deeds just now, Feixue is probably obsessed with King Yue, which is not a good thing.

"Feixue, have you forgotten the mission of my Li family?"

Li Feixue's expression froze when she heard this. Her father's words hit her heart like a bolt from the blue, shaking her heart.

Thinking of the words her father had said to her over and over again since she was sensible, and which were almost engraved into her bones and blood, her face suddenly turned pale. She glanced at Sima Yue opposite, bit her lip to hide the bitterness in her heart, Li Feixue

He said firmly: "Father, don't worry, my daughter will keep it in her heart for the rest of her life, and she will never forget her until she dies!"

"It's good that you haven't forgotten." A trace of pity and helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Protector of the State: "Some things should be cut off, otherwise you will be messed up! Do you understand?"

Li Feixue nodded heavily: "My daughter understands!"

Her father only has two daughters, her and her sister. Now that her sister has passed away, the family mission naturally falls on her shoulders. She cannot let the family's reputation be ruined in her hands.

"I'm sorry for you." The Protector Hou sighed.

Why doesn't he hope that his daughter can marry a good husband and keep her husband and children safe and happy for a lifetime?

However, the mission shouldered by the Li family can only be carried on by the daughter, so the daughter has to give up some thoughts that may seem extremely ordinary but are actually unmatched by her daughter's family. This is the honor of the Li family, but it is also a kind of helplessness.

On the other side, Sima Yue saw the doubtful looks everyone was looking at him, and became increasingly nervous. There was even sweat seeping from the palms of his big palms placed on the gift boxes. He looked up at Li Feixue who had his head lowered and couldn't see his expression clearly, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

I shouldn't have disobeyed her and prepared gifts early.

This was all his own fault. During this period, he was only immersed in the excitement of causing trouble for Lin Bingquan, and completely forgot about preparing a birthday gift for his father.

A few days ago, Li Feixue asked him if he had prepared a gift. He thought that since the fifth brother's Jinyu Zhai had all kinds of antiques and treasures, he would just pick the best one as a gift for his father, so he casually said that he was ready.

Well, I didn’t let Fifth Brother pay special attention.

This morning, without informing his fifth brother, he went to Jinyuzhai to select the best treasures as a birthday gift. Unexpectedly, his brothers' gifts were more valuable than each other, so he couldn't get rid of his gift.

Seeing that Sima Yue had not come forward to congratulate him for a long time, and everyone was looking this way, Sima Qi couldn't help but lower his voice and reminded: "Eighth brother, it's your turn to give a gift."

"Fifth brother, I..." Sima Yue was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, and his face turned red.

In fact, on his father's birthday in previous years, he also chose a gift from Fifth Brother's Jinyuzhai to give to his father, and he never thought there was anything wrong with it.

It's just that the situation is a little different this year. He doesn't know why he just doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of Li Feixue, making Li Feixue think that he can't even do such a small thing, but now he is still embarrassed. How can he show up in front of Li Feixue in the future?

Need to get up?

As if he had guessed Sima Yue's thoughts, Sima Rui raised his lips slightly and gave a hint of a faint smile: "Eighth brother, you can go and give gifts, but fifth brother and I will be here for everything."

Having said that, Sima Yue was still hesitant and nervous, but when he saw the eyes of everyone who seemed to be accustomed to it, especially when he saw the pride and ridicule on Sima Chun's face, he suddenly felt a mixture of shame and anger, stood up, walked to the middle and knelt down and said: "My son, sir.

I wish my father a long life and may God bless our country of Jin to be forever strong!"

After saying that, he opened the brocade box in his hand, and a crystal clear jade Ruyi came into view. Everyone looked like this.

"My father is wise and sage. This year, he not only resolved the crisis in the north, but also quickly quelled the civil strife. We should celebrate in a big way. How could the eighth brother just randomly choose a gift from the fifth brother's Jinyu Zhai to give to my father like in previous years?"

Make a birthday gift

?" Glancing at Sima Rui and Sima Qi, Sima Chun said with deep meaning: "The third brother and the fifth brother have always been very close to the eighth brother. They knew that the eighth brother had always been careless, so why did they not remind the eighth brother or do it for the eighth brother?

Brother, have you prepared a gift?

Look at the birthday gift of the third brother, which is a protective treasure of the ancient God of War. The birthday gift of the fifth brother is a solid gold longevity immortal that took a lot of thought. However, the birthday gift of the eighth brother is an ordinary jade Ruyi. This has to be surprising.

I wonder if the third brother and the fifth brother did this deliberately to see the eighth brother make a fool of himself? Or are the third brother and the fifth brother not as deeply brotherly as they appear to be to the eighth brother?"

After the words fell, everyone's expressions changed except for Emperor Huiwen, Qingyun, Mo Xuan and other envoys from various countries.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the nine princesses, the princes did not fight against each other for the throne like princes from other countries did.

It's just that King Yue is an anomaly among the princes. He has been fond of martial arts and disliked literature since he was a child. He has always wanted to become a general. Fortunately, he has a bold and straightforward temperament, which is not annoying. King Yue has been closer to King Rui and King Qi since he was a child.

, the three princes, including King Xian, all had some disagreements with King Chun.

But even so, King Chun should not ridicule King Yue and instigate the relationship between the three princes on such an occasion. Isn't this damaging the royal family's face?

But if you think about it carefully, what King Chun said seems to make some sense. After all, the birthday gifts prepared by King Rui and King Qi were extraordinary. Even they were surprised and shocked by it. Why didn't the two princes help King Yue?

The imperial concubine did not expect that her son would suddenly say such words. She could not help but raise her eyebrows. She opened her mouth and was about to say something. However, she shut her mouth tightly after seeing the stern look from Emperor Huiwen. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

Staring at his son.

I hope my son can see the current situation clearly and stop making the emperor unhappy or even angry. Then all their efforts will be in vain.

Zhi Lan looked at Sima Chun, with undisguised worry on her beautiful face.

Although her brother hurt Sister Yun, he was her biological brother after all, and he had been kind to her since she was a child. She didn't want anything to happen to her brother.

Lin Bingquan's expression was unclear when he resisted.

Lin Han was sipping the fine wine gracefully, but he kept paying attention to Zhi Lan from the corner of his eye. He saw the worry between her brows and eyes, and there was a cold light in her dark eyes, with a hint of pity.

"Don't sow discord here!" What Sima Yue couldn't tolerate the most was someone slandering his father, Jiu'er and his two brothers, so after hearing Sima Chun's words, he immediately became furious: "Giving gifts to my father is my own. This matter has nothing to do with Third Brother and Fifth Brother, you can’t even try to sow discord between us!"

Sima Chun didn't even notice the concubine's admonishing look on him, but Zhang Lianwu and Lin Yiwei saw it clearly. Unfortunately, one turned away his eyes and pretended to turn a blind eye, while the other looked calm and didn't care.

Hearing Sima Yue's retort, Sima Chun's heart surged with overwhelming anger, while Qing Jun's face showed concern and grievance: "I am also aggrieved for the eighth brother, so that the eighth brother will not realize that he has suffered a loss. How can the eighth brother misunderstand me?" A kind heart?"

"Whether I suffer a loss or not is my business, there is no need for you to pretend to be kind!" Sima Yue said disdainfully.

"Eighth brother cares about brotherhood wholeheartedly, but unfortunately some people may not be like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have watched his eighth brother make a fool of himself in public because of this birthday gift, right?"

For this reason, Sima Yue still defended Sima Rui and Sima Qi. Sima Chun continued to provoke. He didn't see Emperor Huiwen's increasingly dark and stern eyes. He also didn't see that the imperial concubine was so dark that she could almost twist. His face was watery.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Qingyun stared at Sima Chun, who had ulterior motives, his beautiful face as quiet as a pool of water.

Jade flying dragon!

Unfortunately, I will let you know later that as long as I am here, your wild ambitions will ultimately be wishful thinking!

Seeing everyone's different expressions, Li Feixue was turning the expensive wine glass in his hand carelessly. His eyes were as deep as the sea, making it difficult to see the contents. The corners of his lips raised a smile that seemed sarcastic and cold and arrogant. Sima Yue suddenly felt ashamed. , with his head drooped and silent, feeling inexplicably flustered and sour.

Sima Chun looked at the dejected Sima Yue, his eyes shining with pride and joy.

The hand that was turning the wine glass paused for a moment. Li Feixue glanced at Sima Chun's deep eyes, a trace of anger and murderous intent fleetingly disappeared. Then he looked at Sima Yue, whose face turned red and was silent. There was a trace of pity in his heart. There is a trace of irritability that hates iron for not being able to become steel.

How come this idiot, who usually refuses to admit defeat when he competes with her, becomes mute at the critical moment?

Looking at Sima Yue who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, Sima Qi's eyes darkened, and he glared at the sultry Sima Chun. He was about to stand up to defend his eighth brother, but was stopped in time by Sima Rui beside him. , so he looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Sima Rui shook his head almost invisibly, and his lips moved slightly. Before he could say anything, he heard Qingyun's voice like a warbler's cry: "Father, in fact, this birthday gift is not what Bago has prepared!"
