Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 229 Lively New Year's Eve
Where Nangong Xi was standing, even though he tried his best to conceal it, Zhu Zixin could tell at a glance that he had something on his mind.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Xiaocui bowed and saluted.Chu Hong had been sitting quietly all this time, when she saw the prince coming, she hurriedly got up, went to the door and said:
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Well, back off."

Nangong Xi nodded and made a gesture.

Xiaocui pulled Colin, and the two hurriedly retreated.Chu Hong sat quietly in the corner again, but looked at the few people happily.

At this time, Zhu Ziyi also walked in and said:
"His Royal Highness, please sit down and talk."

"Ah."

Nangong Xi nodded and walked in slowly, only then did Zhu Zixin clearly see something in his hand.

He put it on the table and said, "For you."

"Oh."

Zhu Zixin couldn't help answering.

"Oh, by the way, I also prepared a gift for you."

Zhu Ziyi also seemed to be magical, taking out a square box from behind him.

Zhu Zixin was extremely puzzled, why did everyone give him presents?If it is said that the prince is because of the Chinese New Year, why did the eldest brother also give it away?
"Why do you all give me presents?"

Puzzled in my heart, I couldn't help asking.After Zhu Zixin finished speaking, she looked at Zhu
Ziyi.

"Silly girl, why don't you even remember your own birthday?"

Zhu Ziyi scratched her nose dotingly, and said with a smile.

"Birthday? Birthday? It turns out that today is the birthday of the former owner of this body!"

Only now did Zhu Zixin understand.

However, in an instant, I felt a little depressed again.She's grown up and never had a birthday.Because she never remembers her birthday at all.As far back as she can remember, every time she sees other people's birthdays, she can only feel envious and jealous.

Seeing that she was suddenly upset again, Zhu Ziyi couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and asked hastily:
"Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"Oh, no! Brother is thinking too much! I just received two gifts too unexpectedly!"

Zhu Zixin hurriedly covered up.

"poor child!"

Zhu Ziyi's eyes darkened when he heard the words, but then he comforted him:

"Don't worry, from now on, Big Brother will give you a present every year on your birthday!"

As he spoke, he handed the things in his hand to Zhu Zixin and said:

"Look at what big brother gave you?"

"Ah."

Zhu Zixin nodded heavily, and opened the box, only to find a snow-white mink cloak inside. The shiny fur lined the candlelight in the room, exuding a shining light, which looked extremely gorgeous!
"Try it on!"

Zhu Ziyi said again.

"..."

Glancing at Nangong Xi, he saw that he was also looking at her, his eyes were focused, and there seemed to be sparkles in his eyes, which clearly told her that he was looking forward to seeing her in that dress.

Seeing this, Zhu Zixin smiled slightly, took out the cloak from the box, and put it on her body. Immediately, her whole body seemed to be shining with brilliance, as beautiful as a fairy!
"I didn't expect my sister to be so beautiful!"

Zhu Ziyi praised sincerely.

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin couldn't help but blushed. Just when she was about to take off the cloak, Nan Gongxi stood up from her seat and walked towards her, holding the round box in her hand. Look, that thing looks like a rouge box, Zhu Zixin guessed just now that it must be a rouge box.

"Zixin, if you accompany this, this dress will definitely be more beautiful!"

Said, Nan Gongxi handed the box to Zhu Zixin.

Holding the box in his hand, Zhu Zixin carefully opened it.

But her expression froze at that moment.

Inside the box was not rouge, but a crystal clear sapphire necklace.That azure blue crystal, like a key to open the door of light, firmly fixed her gaze.

This gift is so beautiful!
After a while, she came back to her senses and looked at Nangongxi who had been drinking tea with her eldest brother.

His eyes just happened to cast over, and he gave her a playful smile.As if to say with a speechless smile: "Xiaomian, I'm stunned now. I knew you would like it..."

Zhu Zaixin hurriedly looked away and said at the same time, "Thank you!"

Nangong Xi smiled and replied, "You're welcome."

Zhu Ziyi stared blankly at the two of them for a while, then walked over curiously, and asked, "What is it? Let me see it."

Zhu Zixin hurriedly covered the box and said, "No...it's nothing!"

Zhu Ziyi's gaze stayed on Zhu Zixin's face for a moment, then returned to his seat thoughtfully, then pointed at Zhu Zixin, then looked at Nangongxi, and said with a smile:

"My sister has a secret!"

Another meaningful look at Nangong Xi.

I don't know when it started, these two people began to keep secrets from him.The scene he saw at the door just now, and the tacit understanding between the two talking now, made him feel that his sister had grown up!He couldn't help feeling an indescribable sense of loss in his heart. Although he had always hoped that his sister would like the prince, when this day finally came, he still felt empty in his heart, and his sister had secrets that he couldn't tell him!This seemed to be a happy thing, but it was really hard to hide the loss in my heart.

"Brother, I'm kidding you!"

While wandering in the distance, Zhu Zixin's voice came from his ear, and then, a box appeared in front of Zhu Ziyi's eyes. The box was opened, and the blue gemstone shone with dazzling light. Zhu Ziyi was immediately shocked. shocked.

However, then, he suddenly laughed!Laughing to the fullest.

Nangongxi didn't understand why he was laughing, and looked at him suspiciously, but Zhu Zixin smiled knowingly and put away the box.

How could she, a younger sister, not know what the elder brother was thinking?

Seeing that the elder brother was happy, Zhu Zixin looked at Nangongxi again and asked:
"The prince seems to have something on his mind today, can you tell me?"

"Forget it, today is your birthday, don't talk about those worrying things."

As Nangongxi said, she walked to the dining table, picked up the wine on the table, walked over again, and said to Zhu Ziyi:

"Ziyi, why don't we have a drink first?"

Zhu Ziyi looked at Zhu Zixin, clearly asking Zhu Zixin to comfort the prince.

Seeing this, Zhu Zixin hastily reached out and snatched the jug, saying:
"It's better to eat and drink while the food is ready. Drinking on an empty stomach is very harmful to the body."

After finishing speaking, he said to Nangong Xi:
"Actually, even if the prince doesn't say anything, I know that it must be because of the prince of Lu again, right?"

Hearing this, Nangong Xi smiled helplessly, looked at Zhu Zixin and said:
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to have an ice-snow and smart woman like you by my side!"

After finishing speaking, he nodded and said: "Indeed, it is because of the Prince Lu's matter. It has been several days, and there is no news about him. The Lu State has come to remind him several times, and the father is already ill! For this matter to cause a dispute between the two countries, I am afraid that with our current strength, the Yue Kingdom will not be able to defeat the Lu Kingdom."

"But, you don't even know what that person looks like, so how can you find him?"

Zhu Zixin asked.

"The State of Lu has already sent a portrait."

Nangong Xi responded.

"What... does he look like?"

Feeling that Nangongxi had a strange expression when she said that, Zhu Zixin felt a little bit in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

Nangong Xi took out a portrait from her bosom, handed it to Zhu Zixin silently, without saying a word.

Zhu Zixin seemed to realize something, opened the portrait, and it turned into petrification instantly.

"I didn't expect it was really him!"

After a while, Zhu Zixin exclaimed.

"Who is it? Zixin, do you know this person?"

Zhu Ziyi hurried forward, looked at the person in the portrait, and asked.

"Oh, I've seen it once, I'm not very familiar with it!"

Zhu Zixin lied to his eldest brother for the first time, walked to the table with a little dodge in his eyes and said:

"The soup is ready, we can eat!"

When the two heard this, they stopped discussing the matter of Prince Lu, but walked together to the table where the hot pot was already boiling.

"Zixin, what the hell are you doing?"

As soon as Zhu Ziyi left, he poked with a chopstick and asked.They are so curious about this stuff!
"Hot pot, I guarantee that none of you have eaten it." Zhu Zixin handed the chopsticks to everyone.

Then he ordered and shouted:
"Xiao Cui, Colin, come and have dinner together!"

As she spoke, she personally poured wine into everyone's cups before sitting back in her seat.

Xiao Cui and Colin rushed over, holding several plates of freshly fried vegetables in their hands.

Seeing that everyone was here, Zhu Zixin picked up the wine glass and said, "Today is my birthday. To thank everyone for their company this year, I, Zhu Zixin, will do it first. You can do whatever you want!"

As he spoke, he drank the glass of wine as soon as he raised his head.

Everyone had seen her heroism a long time ago, and now they are no strangers to it, so they all took up their glasses and drank some.

Zhu Zixin picked up the chopsticks and said, "Try it quickly, try my Zhu Zixin's specialty dishes, and see how it tastes?"

Colin was the first to stretch out his chopsticks and put a piece of tofu into his mouth, but it was so hot that he opened his mouth and couldn't stop haha.

"Yeah, burn me to death, burn me to death."

Zhu Zixin hastily fed him some water, which made him feel better, but Colin's tears were already scalding, and the tip of his nose was also bright red, which made everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, Nangong Xi put a piece of pork belly into the bowl, dipped some of the bowl ingredients and took a bite. The taste was truly unique.Very unique.

So he couldn't stop nodding and said, "Not bad, not bad, the taste is quite good."

Everyone heard what he said, so they quickly picked up a piece and tasted it.

Then they all complimented each other.

Zhu Zixin smiled proudly: "How is it? Do you know how good my sister is? My sister, I can also cook, but the food I cook is something you have never eaten before!"

Her arrogant look made everyone shake their heads.Can't bear to look directly, can't bear to look directly.It is better to eat than to eat.

This hot pot meal narrowed the distance between these people again, and the rulers and ministers were laughing and joking until midnight.

After eating and drinking for a while, someone suggested that each of them compose a poem to adjust the atmosphere.If it is anyone's turn, whoever can't do it will be punished with a glass of wine.
