After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 202: The room is full of young women, flirting

Lu Fengsheng didn't care about Chen Changan and quickly got up.

Then I saw King Jing'an walking in with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a big smile on his face.

Li Wuling stood up to greet him, and Prince Jing'an laughed out loud: "Old General, your mother's 72nd birthday is truly a cause for celebration!"

"This king will arrive first, and Marquis Xibo will arrive soon to celebrate the birthday!"

Li Wuling nodded: "In that case, please invite King Jing'an to the table. The auspicious time has arrived. I will ask Yan'er to invite my mother out."

Prince Jing'an met the Crown Prince and the Empress in turn and sat below them.

Soon, Yan Qing supported an old lady who wore a red flower on her head, looked festive, and held a dragon-headed cane in her hand, and walked into the hall.

Although Mrs. Li is old, she has sharp ears and eyes. Perhaps because of years of exercise, she does not look old.

Seeing the old lady appear, *** stood up.

"Old Madam, Crown Prince Xiang Wang and Lady Xiang Liuli congratulate the old lady on her 70th birthday!"

"I am sending you ten pearls from the East China Sea, one hundred ounces of gold, and a copy of the Diamond Sutra handwritten by your father, on his order!"

"My father has ordered that when you reach your eighties, he will come to celebrate your birthday!"

Although it was an excuse made by the emperor, since he had said it, it was a huge favor to the old general's family.

The old lady stood up quickly and said, "I am old, how can I trouble the emperor to worry about me?"

"Please go back and tell the Emperor that I will try to live another ten years!"

*** nodded and chuckled, then sat in his seat.

After she sat down, all the officials stood up.

"Old lady, Cheng Qinghe is wishing you a happy birthday. Do you still remember me?"

"Today, I see that the old lady is in good health. It is a blessing for the people and a blessing for the country of Chu!"

"Don't laugh at me with flowers in my white hair, time never defeats beauty!"

The etiquette of birthday celebrations in this era is still very complicated, especially for people over 70 years old.

In addition, Li Wuling held a very high official position, and the people in the hall congratulated him in order of their official rank, making the celebration lively for half an hour.

After everyone else had finished their worship, Lu Fengsheng stood up and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Old Madam, the number one scholar Lu Fengsheng is here to wish you a happy birthday. I wish you will have a long life of seventy years and a life as old as the evergreen pines on the southern mountains!"

When other people came to pay their respects, they bowed and clasped their hands, but Lu Fengsheng kowtowed.

Li Wuling had long intended to have Yan Qing find a live-in son-in-law, and Yan Qing had said that her husband must be a top scholar, second only to the emperor and above all others.

In this way, it will not be considered as tarnishing the reputation of the Li family.

Lu Fengsheng naturally came for Yan Qing.

The old lady also wanted to bring them together, and her face was full of joy: "Okay, okay, Master Lu, please get up quickly."

Lu Fengsheng kowtowed to express his gratitude, but did not sit down.

"Old Madam, today is a beautiful day with many distinguished guests. When you were young, you were a talented woman famous throughout the Chu State, and your reputation was high."

"I have pondered over this couplet for many days and I beg you to correct it."

Everyone laughed.

Lu Fengsheng wanted to please the old lady, so he flattered her in every way he spoke.

But the old lady was really a talented woman when she was young, so she naturally liked these things.

"In that case, please write it out, Master Lu, so that I and everyone present can see it."

"Yes!"

There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone in the room. A brush was dipped in thick ink, and the ink splashing was completed in an instant.

"At the age of seventy, his auspicious spirit is as vast as the sea, and his calligraphy and writing are famous in every direction!"

This couplet is easy to understand.

In addition to taking advantage of the old lady’s 70th birthday, her talent is praised everywhere.

The old lady shook her head and chuckled: "Mr. Lu is so flattering, it makes me blush. Do I deserve such praise?"

Just as Lu Fengsheng was about to speak, the old lady waved her hand and said, "You all came here for me. When I was young, I also liked couplets, so I came up with a topic for you all to enjoy."

When the old lady was about to write a couplet, everyone naturally held their breath.

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the old general and said, "My son is in the court, and I need your care."

"He was elected at the age of twenty, passed the imperial examination at the age of thirty, returned to the imperial court at the age of forty, was appointed as a governor at the age of fifty, opened a government office at the age of sixty, and returned to the countryside at the age of seventy. You must know that he will be free and easy from now on, and he will have many days of leisure for a blessed generation."

"Please respond and don't let me down."

As soon as this couplet came out, all the officials began to think hard.

Unexpectedly, the old lady used Li Wuling as the first line of the couplet to describe his life experience.

Couplets are about parallelism. The front part is a number, an age, and the back part should also be the same, but...

Who can match such a long couplet?

Lu Fengsheng also felt embarrassed. He glanced at Chen Changan and saw that he was whispering with Xiang Jian, so he sneered.

"Xiang Wang, do you want to show your face in front of so many officials? Please use your title of straw bag prince?"

Chen Changan pointed at the old lady, and Xiang Wang nodded: "Needless to say? It's just that this couplet is too difficult. I have never learned it before."

Chen Changan raised his middle finger.

Apart from the pornographic pictures that you almost tore apart, what else have you learned?

"Don't be afraid, I'll teach you!"

"Think about it, when you are eighty years old, you hold a banquet for a thousand elders and turn on the button to have many children and grandchildren. Would you be happy?"

"Especially with a young girl dancing with you, how pleasant is that?"

Chen Changan is very good at guiding.

After just a few words, Xiang Wang nodded repeatedly: "Ha, the couplets given by the old lady are extremely simple. If you are wrong, I will correct it!"

All the officials were stunned!

Their mouths are all wide open!

They all know what a fool the prince looks like. We can't even come up with this pair, so how can you?

Not to mention others, even ***'s heart skipped a beat.

She covered her lips with her hands and said angrily, "Asshole, what did you teach the prince to say?"

Chen Changan spread out his palms: "I didn't teach you, it's just that the prince is talented and wanted to show off in front of all the officials, so he came up with it himself."

Xiang Liuli really wanted to pour a glass of wine on Chen Changan's head.

Talented...

Don't you think it's an insult to the prince to use such words to describe him?

Xiang Wang was very proud of himself, but he couldn't remember the first line of the couplet: "Please tell me the first line again, old lady."

Everyone lowered their heads and chuckled, and the old lady was also speechless.

But she could not disobey the prince's order: "At twenty, you will be promoted to the provincial capital; at thirty, you will pass the imperial examination; at forty, you will return to the court; at fifty, you will be sent to guard the capital; at sixty, you will open a government office; at seventy, you will return to the countryside. You must know that from now on, you will be free and easy, and you will have many days off!"

Xiang Jian remembered Chen Changan's teachings and said it immediately.

"Good, good, good!"

"I will treat you like this: at eighty I will entertain guests, at ninety I will play with my grandchildren, at a hundred I will celebrate your birthday, at a thousand I will be famous, at ten thousand I will be praised for my virtues, and at eternity I will look at all the young ladies in the room, flirting and posing, always in their prime!"

When everyone in the court heard the prince's second line, they almost burst out laughing!

Prince, what you said at the beginning was very good, but the young women in the hall behind you are posing and flirting... What do you want to do?

It’s still not peaceful even when you’re old!

Yan Qing turned her head and chuckled, and Li Wuling's old face also turned red.

Is it right? If not, then don’t come out!

Chen Changan had a splitting headache.

I taught you that there were many young girls in the room, but you said they were young women. I told you to pose in coquettish ways to help you understand. Can you just say it directly?

Chen Changan had no choice but to help Xiang Wang smooth things over: "Old Madam, what the prince said is right, just look at the joy today, the whole family will be blessed forever!"

Xiang Wang finally reacted and nodded repeatedly: "That's it! I accidentally said what was in my heart, hahaha!"

All the officials laughed, and the old lady was speechless.

The old lady looked at Chen Changan in surprise and wanted to find a way out for the prince.

"The prince is very talented. I wish my son can live a thousand years. It is really pleasing."

"I will just give you another couplet, Your Highness, please listen to the question."

Chen Changan pulled the prince, trying to get him to give up.

But who is the prince? He is in the limelight right now, how can he retreat?

"Brother Changan, why are you pulling me?"

"Old birthday star, please ask the questions. I will definitely push the birthday banquet to a climax!"
