Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1243 Farewell
Yuwen Ye smiled faintly and said, "Third brother, as the King of Qi and the General of Zhenbei, you should not listen to the nonsense of the common people. There is no merit greater than heaven in this world. If there is, it is that our father accepted the will of heaven and founded the Great Sheng Dynasty to save the people from disaster. Since you said that this glass of wine has embarrassed you, then I will toast to my father with this glass of wine first."

After saying this, he turned around and pointed the wine glass towards the emperor.

Yuwen Yuan's eyes had turned cold, but after hearing these words and watching Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi both raise their glasses towards him, he smiled and picked up the glass and said, "Okay, I'll drink this first glass of wine."

After he said that, Yuwen Cheng didn't know what to say. Although Yu Mingyue was a little dissatisfied, no one in the hall could surpass Yuwen Yuan. As long as Yuwen Ye raised the glass of wine to toast the emperor, they could not do anything to him. They could only raise the glass with Yuwen Qian and toast Yuwen Yuan.

So everyone drank the cup together.

After drinking this cup, everyone put the empty cups on the table, and immediately the palace maids standing on both sides came forward with wine jugs to pour wine for them.

However, after the wine was poured, Yuwen Ye did not touch the glass again.

He was the one who first raised the glass just now, wanting to celebrate Yuwen Cheng's birthday, but the other party used the words to stab him. Although he stabbed back and took the opportunity to toast the emperor with the first glass of wine, he would certainly not take the initiative to raise the second glass.

Feeling that the hall was a little quiet, Yuwen Qian, who had always been very quiet, was silent for a moment, then picked up the wine glass: "This second glass should be toasted to my third brother."

Yuwen Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother."

Yuwen Yuan glanced at Yuwen Ye and saw that he looked indifferent but not angry, so he also raised his glass and said, "Yes, it's time for everyone to drink this glass together."

Yuwen Ye didn't say much. He picked up the wine glass and drank it with everyone.

After drinking this cup, the hall became even quieter.

Yuwen Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

He knew very well that it was now very difficult for the family to sit down quietly and have a happy meal as they did in the past. He had originally thought that if Yuwen Ye agreed to let him go to Luoyang, then tonight's family dinner might even be a farewell dinner, so he was particularly attentive. He was even not angry when Yuwen Qian brought Yu Mingyue to the Qinqin Tower and told them that Yuwen Ye took Shang Ruyi to the mountain water pool to enjoy the scenery, even though Yuwen Cheng deliberately said a few words of dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, perhaps this was also a sign that Yuwen Ye was reluctant to leave Chang'an.

And this family dinner is even more precious to him and to them, father and son.

Unexpectedly, Yuwen Cheng was unwilling to let things go to perfection.

As he thought so, he fell silent. Once the emperor fell silent, everyone else fell silent as well. The atmosphere in the entire hall became even more depressing and eerie.

At this moment, a tender and loud voice suddenly shouted, "Yo!"

Everyone looked up hurriedly and saw that it was little Yuan Qian who had been eating. He had eaten most of the bowl of cherry yogurt and his mouth was full of mush. He had just seen everyone present raising their glasses to drink, but he was unable to catch up. Fortunately, no one was drinking at this time, so he raised the spoon in his hand and shouted.

Hearing this voice, Yu Wenyuan burst out laughing.

Yuwen Ye also laughed: "What are you talking about?"

Yuan Qian was very happy to see his grandfather laughing. He even stepped on Yuwen Ye's knees and climbed half of his body onto the table. He waved the spoon in his hand and shouted to everyone, "Yo!"

“Hahahaha!” Yuwen Yuan laughed loudly and said, “It seems that this cup was proposed by Yuanzi. Okay! I’ll drink this cup. You all, raise your glasses too!”

Naturally, everyone did not dare to be negligent and raised their glasses.

After drinking this glass of wine, Yuwen Yuan felt as sweet as drinking honey, and said with a smile: "No matter how difficult it is, I forget everything when I see Yuanzi."

Having said that, he turned his head and looked at Yu Wenqian, who had been sitting on the right side of the hall in silence, and Yu Mingyue, whose face was a little stiff but still smiling, and then said, "Crown Prince, Crown Princess, you should also..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Cheng suddenly said, "Father, today is my son's birthday. How come you forgot about your son when you saw your grandson?"

As he spoke, he deliberately made an expression of displeasure in competing for favor.

Seeing him like this, Yuwen Yuan couldn't help but laugh, but said: "How old is Yuanzi? As an uncle, you are still fighting with your nephew for this?"

Yu Mingyue glanced at Yu Wencheng and said nothing.

Yuwen Cheng himself laughed and said, "I was just joking. Not to mention Father, I am also very distressed when I see Yuanzi."

As he said that, he put down his wine glass, stood up and walked to the table of Yuwen Ye and the others. He raised his hand and took out a rattle from his sleeve. After shaking it twice, he handed it to Yuan Qian: "Little Yuanzi, this is for you."

Yuan Qian was a little shy and afraid of him at first, but children naturally like these toys. When he heard the thudding sound, his eyes lit up and he wanted to reach out to take it, but when he saw Yuwen Cheng, he shrank his neck timidly.

Yuwen Cheng frowned.

Yuan Qian whimpered, jumped off Yuwen Ye's knees, turned around and dived into Shang Ruyi's arms.

Just when the scene was a little awkward again, Shang Ruyi immediately smiled and said, "Yuan Qian, why don't you thank your third uncle."

As he spoke, he reached out and took the rattle from Yuwen Cheng: "Thank you, King Qi, for your concern."

Yuwen Cheng snorted, stood up, brushed off his sleeves, and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? When my second brother and his wife go to Luoyang in the future, I, as your younger brother, will really take the trouble to prepare a parting gift for you."

After saying that, he walked back to his desk leisurely and sat down.

The atmosphere in the hall, which had become pleasant and harmonious because of Yuan Qian's "noise", suddenly turned cold after he said this. Yuwen Yuan's expression became solemn, and although Yuwen Qian's eyes flickered, he did not say much. He calmly put down the empty wine glass in his hand, and when the palace maid standing behind him was about to come forward to pour the wine, he raised his hand to stop her.

Yuwen Ye had already picked up the third glass of wine filled by the palace maid and brought it to his mouth, but when he heard this, he stopped, looked up at Yuwen Cheng, smiled faintly, and still took a sip.

Yu Mingyue said: "So, the King of Qin has decided to go to Luoyang?"

Yuwen Ye slowly put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "I didn't know about this either. I didn't expect that my third brother decided it for me."

Yu Wenyuan's brows furrowed again.

Yu Wencheng's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light: "So, second brother is not going to Luoyang?"
