A cold dream is not a dream come true

Chapter 10: Birthday Banquet

On the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month, we all gathered around the dinner table.

After everyone sat down, Tang'er filled the wine glasses in front of Prince Cheng and Prince Xi.Both of them stood up with their glasses in hand, walked up to Luo Taiyi respectfully, knelt down, and raised their glasses above their heads.

Looking at the two children, Luo Taiyi couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes quietly surfaced.

Holding the wine glass, Prince Xi's face was as calm as water, full of respect and love for his mother.Her voice was a little choked up, she sniffed softly and said, "My son's birthday is a difficult day for my mother. Today is my 21st birthday, Su Luobing, and it is also the 21st anniversary of my mother's death. Please pay respects to my mother."

Luo Taiyi took the wine glass with a smile, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.Prince Cheng also immediately said: "I wish my mother such blessings as the East China Sea, and a long life than Nanshan!"

Luo Taiyi drank the toast from the two of them, and immediately helped the two children up.

Seeing such a scene, I couldn't help admiring Prince Xi's filial piety.The siblings actually thought of thanking their mother on their birthdays. It can be seen that Prince Xi is not as cold-hearted as I thought, and I somewhat look at her differently.

At this time, Tang'er walked up to me, filled the glass in front of me with wine, and whispered in my ear: "Miss Meng, hurry up and toast Luo Taiyi."

Confused, I grabbed the wine glass, looked up at Tang'er and asked, "Shall I toast Luo Taiyi?"

"Yeah, go and show it."

I picked up the wine glass and stood up, my brain spinning rapidly, but I walked slowly in front of Luo Taiyi.

what should i sayI asked for help and looked at Prince Xi next to me, but when Prince Xi saw me looking at her, she turned her head away and stopped looking at me.

hateful!I cursed in my heart.I looked at Prince Cheng next to me again, but Prince Cheng scratched his face in embarrassment and ignored me.

Forget it, let me kneel first.Thinking about it, I knelt down in front of Luo Taiyi with a "plop".

When I knelt down, Luo Taiyi jumped.She stared at me, stretched out her hand to hold me, and asked in amazement: "Chu Han, what are you doing?"

I raised my wine glass, lowered my head and thought for a long time before I made up a sentence: "I wish you a happy mother!"

Luo Taiyi's expression changed from surprise to joy, she took my wine and drank it down.I secretly liked my success, and tilted my head to look at Prince Xi, who didn't know that Prince Xi didn't even look at me, and went back to the dining table alone, and sat down.

Ignored again.I thought a little dejectedly.

When everyone returned to the dining table, I felt that someone was missing.Prince Cheng asked before I did: "By the way, where did Yu'er go?"

Prince Xi shook his head, and the others also expressed their ignorance.Luo Taiyi jokingly said: "Is this Yu'er going to cause trouble again? This year, I'm still waiting for Yu'er to call me mother!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.Prince Xi also patted Prince Cheng on the shoulder with a slight smile in his eyes.Prince Cheng blushed slightly, pursed his lips shyly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine in embarrassment.I looked at Prince Cheng, and my eyes were filled with happiness.

Because Luo Taiyi lives in a temple, there is no fish in the meals, but some relatively light ingredients.I picked up a green vegetable leaf, although I don't know the name of this dish, but after living in Prince Xi's Mansion for a long time, I feel that this dish makes my eyes shine more and more, and I feel refreshed and happy after eating it.

Prince Xi, who was sitting next to me, probably saw how I was eating, and frowned slightly.Then she took a piece of snow-white food from the plate and put it in my bowl.I looked down at it, it was white and exquisite, with a few drops of crystal water hanging on it, very attractive in the sun.I put it in my mouth and chewed it lightly, only to find it delicious and chewy, like animal meat, but it is more refreshing and less greasy than meat.One bite left me with endless aftertaste.

"This is the special product of our Dongsheng Kingdom, tremella." Prince Xi explained.

She stared at me for a while, and I also looked back at her, only to see that she put another carrot-like thing into my bowl, I tasted it, and felt that this thing is not something ordinary people can eat.

"This is also a specialty of Dongsheng Country, ginseng."

There were many people at the dinner table and it was a bit noisy, but it didn't affect my meal.While eating seriously, I listened to Prince Xi's explanation. I felt that the food on this table was delicious, and I couldn't help but forget that it was in Luo Taiyi's cool house, revealing my foodie nature.Prince Xi suddenly put down his chopsticks, rested his head on his hands, and stared straight at me.

"What, what's the matter?" I asked her vaguely while chewing on the food in my mouth.

"No. I just thought of something suddenly." She said with a calm expression, and her tone became patient.

"Huh? What?"

She pointed to my hand holding the chopsticks, and said, "Have you ever heard the saying 'If you hold the chopsticks far away, you will marry far away'?"

I looked at her suspiciously, expressing my incomprehension.

She stretched out her hand in front of my hand holding the chopsticks, compared them gently, and said, "Look at the posture of everyone holding the chopsticks, they are all very close. Only you are far away."

I looked up and looked, except for Luo Taiyi's posture of holding chopsticks, everyone was very close to each other, only mine was far away.

She leaned over and whispered in my ear: "So you are destined to marry me in Luoyang."

Hearing this sentence, I immediately felt a grain of rice choked into my trachea, and I coughed uncontrollably.

Regarding this matter, Su Cui broke in suddenly, panting and said: "It's not good, the prince and the young monk in the mosque had a dispute!"

Hearing this, Prince Cheng immediately stood up in a panic, and ran out without saying much.

Prince Xi was a little worried and stood up.

"Yu'er shouldn't be too reckless, don't worry." Luo Taiyi patted Prince Xi and said.Prince Xi nodded, still worried for Prince Cheng.

I saw her worry, and pulled her by the corner of her clothes and said, "My lord, let's go and have a look."

She nodded and we chased after her.

The weather outside the house was very cold, and the thick snow made a beautiful note underfoot.I looked up at the trees in the yard, which were covered with silver-white snow, full of a strong New Year flavor.Walking on the snow, even though I was wearing a wolf fur coat, I still felt cold.I got a little closer to Prince Xi, hoping to get more body temperature to get warm.

She turned her face to look at me and asked, "Do you like the leather jacket?"

I gently stroked the leather jacket, thinking of the story between Luo Taiyi and Xiaomei, and nodded.

After leaving the courtyard, I came to a courtyard, which was much larger than Fengliangju, and there were still a few plum blossoms in the snow.As soon as we walked a few steps, we heard the sound of people talking from the depths of the courtyard.I was a little scared and grabbed Prince Xi's clothes, and she gently took my hand and walked in little by little.

Before the end of the aisle, we saw the gate of a branch courtyard. As soon as we approached, we heard the voices of the crown prince and Prince Cheng from inside.

"Yu'er, is this really good..."

"No problem, no one will find out."

"But……"

"Don't you want to?"

"Although I also want to..."

"Then why bother?"

Then, there was no sound.I looked up at Prince Xi, and Prince Xi looked at me. Just as the two of us were about to go in, another voice came from the yard.

"Yu'er..."

"Come on!"

"If I can't do it... Yu'er..."

"Come on! It's coming out soon!"

"I really... want... to die..."

"It's coming out soon!"

I was listening enthusiastically when suddenly Prince Xi blocked my ears from behind.I looked up at her suspiciously, but she also covered my eyes.

Why do you plug my ears and cover my eyes?I want to see what interesting things the prince and Prince Cheng are playing, why don't you let me watch?

When I thought of this, I suddenly struggled to break free from the restraints of Prince Xi, and ran into the branch courtyard.

"Hello!" Prince Xi didn't expect me to make such a bad move, so he blurted out and shouted.

The yard of the branch is not big, there is only one tree inside, and the tree is covered with blessing strips.There is a house in the north, and there are lanterns for the Spring Festival hanging on the house.In the middle of the yard, I saw a dagger sticking out of a huge block of ice. Prince Cheng was sweating profusely and panting as he pulled out the sword. The prince who was exhausted and exhausted beside him was cheering for Prince Cheng. .Not far away, there were a few young monks who were so tired that they got down on the ground.

"What are you doing?" I ran over excitedly and asked.

The prince saw me excitedly and said: "Ms. Meng, come and help me. I heard that this is a dagger that can obtain 'happiness and health'. As long as you can pull it out, you can have happiness and health!"

Hearing this, I dubiously went to help pull it out, but Prince Cheng and I were not strong enough at all, the dagger seemed to be stuck in the ice and remained motionless.I looked outside at Prince Xi, hoping for help.

At this time, the little monk lying in the yard began to cry.

I stopped what I was doing, helped a few young monks up, and asked them what happened.One of the young monks cried and said: "Our elder brother is ill, we want to get this dagger that can obtain 'happiness and health'...however, this very fierce elder brother snatched it from us... woo woo woo woo... "

I looked at the prince who was called "very fierce brother" by the little monk, and the prince stuck out his tongue at me.When Prince Cheng heard this, he immediately trained the prince.I touched the little monk's bald head, and said patiently: "Don't cry, don't cry, my sister will help you punish your brother, and my sister will help you draw your sword, okay?"

So we went to draw this dagger that is said to bring happiness and health together.

Prince Xi probably couldn't stand it anymore, she walked over slowly and told me to stay away.Then, she pulled out lightly, and the dagger was drawn out.

She handed the dagger into the hands of the young monks, who thanked them repeatedly and left happily.

Dongsheng Kingdom in the first month is extremely cold, but I feel my heart is warm, especially Prince Xi is also warm.Although Prince Xi looks a bit cold on the outside, her heart is not cold at all.

As I was walking, I suddenly thought of the incident that Prince Xi had plugged my ears and blindfolded me just now. I immediately chased after him and asked, "Why did you plug my ears and blindfolded me just now?"

Unexpectedly, when Prince Xi heard this, he gave me a cold look, and said to me: "Think for yourself!" Then he left me and strode away.

Huh?Did I say the wrong thing again?
