Time really flew like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, the most important day had arrived. On this day, the door of the "Three Auspicious Treasures" was pasted with: There was a happy occasion at home, so he closed the business for a day. This made the guests who came here feel regretful.
Gao Xixu brought Ruhua, Gao Ximeng, and Shangguan Yu over early. Song Xiaobei's painting that could move was destroyed by the prince. She was sad for many days. Gao Xixu punished his son for the first time and made him reflect on his mistakes. He had brought his daughter to Prince Li's residence to relax. Only after entering the residence did he reveal a smile.
Song Xiaobei and the servant girl from the Shangguan family, who was temporarily staying in the Prince's mansion, walked in. The few people in front of them were holding a bowl of noodles on a tray. The last tray contained seven small bowls filled with water. The amount of water in each bowl was different. There was also a chopstick beside it. The bowl was made of high-quality porcelain. It was as thin as paper, white as jade, and sounded like a chime. The little girl arranged the items according to Song Xiaobei's instructions.
Song Xiaobei placed the bowl on her tray in front of Gao Xili and said,""This is the custom of my hometown. The birthday boy eats longevity noodles. Dear, you can't bite off the noodles."
She picked up one end of the noodles, spun it twice, and handed it to Gao Xili with a sly smile on her face. There was only one noodle, but it was several meters long. Su Xiaoxiang took a long time to finish it.
The servant girls brought the noodles to the guests, including Gao Xiyue.
"The birthday boy can't bite off the noodles. Ruhua, I don't have time to make dumplings. Little beauty, don't be angry.”Song Xiaobei said as she hugged Ruhua. Then, she walked to the small bowl and picked up the chopsticks."That was the first birthday gift. This is the second birthday gift.”She used her chopsticks to knock on different small bowls. A crisp and pleasant sound rang out. The pleasant music lingered around, and the speed became faster and faster. Everyone was intoxicated. Suddenly, the music stopped. "The performance is over. There was only one sentence in the song just now: Happy birthday to you!" Song Xiaobei's words snapped everyone back to their senses.
Gao Xili was very touched by this gift, and his heart surged. If there was no one else, he would have tears in his eyes. Gao Xiyue, whom she admired the most, had great respect for her sister. The most excited one was Ruhua. Because she was happy, her little face was red.
Gao Xixu thought of his family's situation and asked,""Xiaobei, how can I make my family peaceful?”
"There's a saying called 'making trouble out of nothing'," said Song Xiaobei. Fourth Brother is the head of the family. Find something for everyone to do. It has to be difficult and everyone can work together to complete it. It would be best to drag it out a little longer, so that the residence would be safe for three to five months. If they did well, they would be rewarded; if they did not do well, they would be encouraged.”Gao Xili had told her about Fourth Brother's family situation.
"Good idea. I'll find something for Siqi to do when I get back.”Gao Ximeng was happy. His wangfei was feisty. Sometimes, when she was angry, he could not control himself.
Song Xiaobei reminded the birthday boy,"Dear, longevity noodles bring blessings. The more you eat, the more blessings you get."”
Although Gao Xili saw Song Xiaobei's expression and knew that he was being teased, he enjoyed it. The other handsome guys deliberately teased him to talk, but he turned a deaf ear and took the "blessing" in the bowl into his stomach.
After Gao Xiyue finished her noodles, she really wanted to play this special instrument. She had more important things to do, so she gritted her teeth and left with Song Xiaobei.
Ruhua knocked on the bowl in front of her. She felt something different and was a little unhappy. She saw Bao 'er and the others playing outside, so she ran out.
It took the birthday boy 25 minutes to finish the longevity noodles. The servant girls cleared the table, leaving the special instruments behind. Gao Ximeng was the first to start playing. The other handsome guys were unwilling to fall behind and joined in. As expected of someone who had been influenced by music since they were young. After a while, everyone learned it. It was still super good. They were like children, having fun. In the end, Gao Xili 'played' a beautiful and special song that charmed the others.
"Fifth Brother, what is this?”Gao Ximeng asked. He had fallen in love with this song.
"This is the Legend of Mir 2. There are words, but I won't say them.”
Gao Xili wanted to treasure this song.
The guests in the residence arrived one after another, and Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu helped to receive them. Before Shangguan Yu left the house, he had specially told his parents to come to the Prince's mansion at night, and that they had to be there. Shangguan Haonan and his wife saw their son's smile and knew that a good show was coming.
There was an endless stream of guests and gifts piled up in the house. Gao Xijie arrived in casual clothes. He was thirty-five years old and had extraordinary looks. He didn't have the domineering aura of King Leng, and his entire body exuded the aura of a king. If he changed his clothes and hairstyle, he would look more like a graceful scholar in a certain era. The high-ranking person was busy every day. He stayed for 25 minutes before leaving.
As night fell, the guests returned. Other than those who knew the truth, they could not chase them away.
Shangguan Haonan and his wife arrived as promised, with Shangguan Yun accompanying his mother. Xiao Ming brought a group of people to the side of the lotus pond and sat in front of the stage that was temporarily built. Many lanterns were lit on the stage, illuminating the stage as if it was daytime.
Song Xiaobei did not greet the guests. She was too busy. At this moment, she was giving instructions methodically on the stage. Some of the people on the stage were dressed in clothes that made people's eyes light up. Madam Shangguan finally recognized a few familiar faces on the stage, including the Tenth Princess. She also recognized the bracelet on a certain person's wrist. She could tell that "he" was a woman and looked at her son meaningfully.
The staff on the stage lit up the sixty sky lanterns that had already written their blessings and let go of them in front of the audience. The lantern slowly rose into the sky, flying higher and higher, like stars decorating the night sky. Everyone in the Imperial Residence was gathered here. They were happy and amazed.
As the music played, it went straight to the important segment, bringing the audience into a situation where they were sometimes laughing, sometimes nervous, sometimes sad, and sometimes sighing. The plot was full of ups and downs, and the audience's hearts were also fluctuating. As Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai died for love, everyone's eyes were filled with tears. There were two guards wearing night clothes on the shelf behind the stage background painting. They changed the painting according to Song Xiaobei's gestures from time to time. Song Xiaobei tied the five giant paintings on the shelf. The two guards pulled the straps and changed the scene. The men in black below the stage were busy with what they were supposed to do. In the end, the candles below the stage were extinguished, leaving only the lanterns at the top. Accompanied by the song " Two Butterflies," the two men in black held a thin bamboo pole in their hands. On the other end of the bamboo pole were two cute butterflies made by Song Xiaobei. They danced to the music. It made people feel pity, sadness, and a little comfort. Everyone was intoxicated. When the music stopped, Song Xiaobei and the staff held hands and bowed to the audience. Immediately, applause rang out, reaching the clouds and lasting for a long time.
Gao Xili had wanted Song Xiaobei to meet the Shangguan couple, but seeing her busy and tired figure, he had no choice but to give up. Lady Shangguan also wanted to see a certain someone, but it was too late and she gave up the idea. There was still a long way to go, so there was no hurry.
Shangguan Yu and his sister accompanied their parents home, and the four of them were still intoxicated along the way.
"The act was well made up and acted well. However, Liang Shanbo lacked masculinity and was too skinny. If Yu 'er acted in it, this movie would be impeccable.”Shangguan Haonan felt that it was a fly in the ointment.
"Father, the girl who played Liang Shanbo is called Song Xiaobei. She owns the Lucky Three Treasures Dumpling Shop. In the shop, she was the third beauty and I was the fifth beauty.”Shangguan Yun explained with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Madam Shangguan was curious and looked at her son.
Shangguan Yu told his parents everything he knew. The two of them were extremely shocked. How could a little girl do such an amazing thing?
Song Xiaobei didn't know that her time and effort had made many people overjoyed. They wore night clothes and quietly came to the Imperial Residence. Strangers bumped into each other unexpectedly, causing the other party to be stunned for a moment before smiling. They understood each other's purpose. These people were the guards of King Qin's residence, Guan Supeng, and Dian.
At first, when night fell, Xiao Ming and Gao Ximeng's guards discovered uninvited guests. Gao Xili told them to be careful and observe the situation. He had changed his usual open and aboveboard style and had people prepare poison. If the person came with ill intentions, he would definitely die in one move.
After the song ended, the uninvited guest was still immersed in a dream-like illusion. He was completely defenseless and did not even know that he was being followed.
The next day, Song Xiaobei found out that the middle-aged couple sitting below the stage were Shangguan Yu's parents. She felt a little guilty because she had not thanked them personally after wearing the bracelet for so long.
Gao Xili noticed the guard hiding in the dark and asked,""Who are you? Why are you spying on Prince Li's residence?"
"Under the orders of the master," answered Lightning,"to protect the young miss.”As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. Thank you, Master, for your great kindness. This job is too good. Last time, it was his nose and mouth that enjoyed the pleasure. This time, it was his eyes and ears that enjoyed the pleasure. He was very lucky.
"Who is your master?"
"No comment."
"How does he know Miss?"
"In front of the Fragrance Restaurant, Young Miss clarified the truth for Master and returned Master's innocence.”
"Alright, you can go now. Don't appear again.”
"Obey my master. Your highness, just pretend that I don't exist.”After saying that, Lightning left.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Come on, you want the head and you want the life.”
Gao Xili thought of the man in white and realized that he was not an ordinary person.
The next day, Gao Xili arranged to meet Guan Supeng at the teahouse.
"It's you, the Palace Master of Carefree Palace. Why did you pretend to be a beggar and appear beside Xiaobei?”He immediately recognized the person in front of him as the beggar in ragged clothes.
"I didn't deliberately approach Miss. I often pretend to be a beggar. Miss is the only person who gives me warmth.”Guan Supeng smiled faintly. He wore a mask most of the time, with an eye patch underneath. One of his subordinates once wanted to take off his mask to see his true appearance. From then on, he developed the habit of double concealment.
"Guan Supeng, why didn't you wear a mask today? Aren't you afraid that I will exterminate you in the future?”
"You can't, and you don't dare. Miss is sick because of you. Why did a man's war involve such a good and kind woman?”Guan Supeng questioned Gao Xili.
Guan Supeng's accusation was an indisputable fact. Guan's words were like a knife stabbing into Gao's heart.
"How do you know?" Gao Xili was surprised, and his tone became weaker.
"On the day Miss fell ill, I went to the Prince's mansion and found it strange, so I investigated.”Guan Supeng smiled bitterly. His heart ached when he thought of the sick Miss.
"You like Xiaobei?" Gao Xili suddenly reacted.
"I love Miss." Guan Supeng said frankly.
"You're not clean."
"I'm Xie. As long as Miss is not well, you can't marry her. You haven't won yet, and I haven't lost either."
"You'd better not do evil again. Xiaobei hates bad people.”
"There's no need for wangye to worry. I love miss, so I won't do bad things again.”
"Take care of yourself!"
"Good luck!"
"You're too young."
"You're too old."
"I'm mature."
"I'm new."
……
The two men were like aggressive roosters, but they were both dejected.
Gao Xili walked out of the door and rubbed his temples. His scalp went numb. He did not know how many love rivals he had.
