Learn a magical skill every year, and start with Xiao Li Fei Dao

That's not me.

Xiao Ping'an felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, and his eyes almost went black.

He was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Damn, he hasn't even eaten the meat yet, but he's already filthy.

"Why are there only three sisters-in-law???" Xiao Ping'an asked.

Xiao Rong was stunned: "..."

Didn't you say you were a gentleman? Why would you ask such a question???

"Because... they are more careless and it's not easy for them to find out that they're missing clothes and pants?"

Hearing this.

Xiao Ping'an gave this ninth sister a thumbs up.

Obviously, this is a smart woman!

...

Three days later.

Daqian Palace.

Imperial Garden.

Mao time.

Hundreds of banquet tables were set up in the huge venue. Maids in pink Liuxian dresses and eunuchs in blue uniforms were carrying dishes, wine, and cakes... moving among the crowd.

Today is the 70th birthday of Empress Dowager Zhao Xuemei. In order to celebrate the birthday of this mother who is not his biological mother, Emperor Jingdi invited all the ministers.

Everyone was dressed up.

Those who could be invited by Emperor Jingdi must be big shots. Here, there are not only princes and ministers, but also people from major families. It can be said that almost all the celebrities in the capital are here tonight.

Even those who didn't come brought precious gifts.

Xiao Ping'an also came.

However, he was very low-key. He just ate the dishes. Not to mention, it was worthy of the emperor's banquet. The taste of the dishes and the dishes were the best, the best, and they were so delicious.

This is much better than the dishes at wedding banquets and birthday banquets in hotels in his previous life. This is normal. After all, the dishes in hotels are all pre-prepared. It would be a miracle if they taste good!

Moreover, a table of banquets is ridiculously expensive.

It is simply a rip-off.

…

This time, all the princes, princes, princesses and so on in the capital are here.

Here, the princes and princesses are at the same table.

However, Emperor Jing has many descendants.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Even brothers and sisters are no exception, especially in the royal family, where there is competition everywhere.

Emperor Jing has more than 20 sons and more than 10 daughters, but there are also differences between the descendants. The most honorable ones among the princes are the nine princes who have the best chance of ascending the throne in the court.

These nine princes are the crown prince and Zhang Chengqian.

The second prince, Prince Jing, and Zhang Selang, who is also Zhang Jian's father.

The third prince, Zhang Jianmin.

The fourth prince, Zhang Zheng.

The fifth prince, Zhang Xuanji.

The sixth prince, Zhang Zimu.

The eleventh prince, Zhang Mao.

The fourteenth prince, Zhang Lingtian.

The seventeenth prince, Zhang Xiaoyun.

The so-called influential person is someone who is flattered wherever he goes. This is no exception among the royal family members. These nine princes are the objects of flattery by other princesses, princes, and some royal relatives, nobles, and children of aristocratic families.

Among the princes, there are the most influential people.

The same is true for the princesses.

Among the more than ten daughters of Emperor Jing, the most noble ones belong to four princesses.

They are the eldest princess, Princess Chengyue, and Zhang Jiao.

She is the eldest daughter of Queen Kong Bingbing and has the same mother as Crown Prince Zhang Chengqian.

The sixth princess, Princess Anle, and Zhang Pingjun.

The seventh princess, Princess Chengze, and Zhang Xue.

The ninth princess, Princess Pingzhao, Zhang Lingmai.

The fifteenth princess, Princess Mingzhu, Zhang Fanghua.

Among them, the ninth princess, Zhang Lingmai, was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xue.

She was qualified and capable to make trouble for Zhang Xue.

After all, Zhang Xue's biggest backer was her grandfather, the King of Zhenbei. And Zhang Lingmai's backer was no less than Zhang Xue's. Her backer was the King of Zhenxi, Yang Su.

Yang Su commanded a million Northwest Army, and his strength was only stronger than the King of Zhenbei.

Zhang Lingmai was not bad looking, and was also a 90-point beauty. However, compared with the 96-point beauty Zhang Xue, she was quite... inconspicuous.

As the saying goes, red flowers need green leaves to match. Because of Zhang Xue, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Xue.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xue is a peerless beauty. Who is Zhang Lingmai? I don't know her! Therefore, Zhang Lingmai was very upset. She was obviously better than Zhang Xue in every aspect except that she was not as good-looking as Zhang Xue. Why did everyone only know Zhang Xue and not her?

Of course, this was just her personal opinion. In fact, the abilities of the two were incomparable.

She and Zhang Xue had taken the entrance exam for Luming College together.

As a result, Zhang Xue was admitted, but she did not even pass the written exam!

Her IQ was only comparable to that of a stupid beauty named Meng in the entertainment industry.Zi Yi, not much different.

Everyone's opinion of the Ninth Princess is: apart from being good-looking and having a good grandfather, there is nothing else to say.

"Today is the Royal Grandmother's birthday. I wonder what gifts all the brothers and sisters have prepared to present to the Royal Grandmother!" Zhao Lingmai suddenly said after looking around.

A group of people at the dinner table looked at each other.

They knew that this woman was going to show off again.

That's right, the Ninth Princess Zhang Lingmai is a woman who loves to show off.

She won't miss any opportunity to show off.

Fortunately, you are not an actor.

The Fifth Prince Zhang Xuanji, the brother of the Ninth Princess Zhang Lingmai, saw that no one took over and smiled slightly. He was happy to give this sister a wink. After all, the two are the closest people!

"I prepared a landscape painting before the Master became a saint, and presented it to the grandmother." Zhang Xuanji said with a smile.

You know, Master's calligraphy is hard to come by.

Even one word is worth a thousand gold.

What's more, it's a painting.

However, this is the work of Master before he became a saint, so the collection value is a little more than the actual value.

If it is a work after he became a saint.

That would be amazing. If you observe it frequently, it will be of great help to the cultivation of scholars.

"Fifth brother, Master's painting is indeed good, but how can it be a work before he became a saint?" Zhang Lingmai said with disdain.

Zhang Xuanji's eyes twitched, damn, sister, I know you must have prepared a good gift for the Royal Grandmother, but don't you belittle my gift? Can we still be happy as biological siblings?

However.

He was not angry, after all, he knew his sister.

Although she has a decent appearance and a top family background, she has a pig's brain.

She said it unintentionally.

Of course, forgive her.

Seeing that Chang Xuanji was silent.

Zhang Lingmai didn't think much and said proudly: "Fifth brother, do you know what gift I prepared for the Royal Grandmother?"

I don't want to know.

Zhang Xuanji: "..."

"Fifth brother, why don't you say anything?"

Zhang Lingmai said anxiously.

Zhang Xuanji said helplessly: "I don't know, what did you prepare?"

"Guess." Zhang Lingmai blinked and said playfully.

"I don't want to guess."

"Guess?"

"No guess."

"Hehe, you guys watch, I prepared this for the Royal Grandmother."

Seeing that her brother didn't cooperate, Zhang Lingmai didn't care. No one cooperated, so she forced it. She took out a sandalwood box like a magic trick.

With a snap, it opened.

Suddenly, a dazzling light emanated from the box.

That was...

Everyone's eyes were all attracted.
