Chapter 206: Peace every year
Chapter 206: Peace every year
In a few days, it was Xiaopang's second birthday.
This time the palace held a grand celebration.
On the day of the birthday banquet, in addition to Jiang Zekai and his friends, several county governors and county magistrates were all present. Ye Yanxing even invited all the major families in Yizhou.
Both the Imperial City and Huaizhou sent people to deliver gifts.
What surprised Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun the most was that Jizhou also sent gifts.
"Congratulations, my Lord, on your happiness and success."
"Congratulations on your birthday, Prince."
People coming and going congratulated Uncle Yang when they entered the door.
"Thank you very much, gentlemen. Please come in, everyone?"
Uncle Yang greeted guests at the door with a smile.
Zhang Hengyu and Cheng Yu were responsible for reception in the lobby.
The guests had almost arrived and the time was almost up when Ye Yanxing and his family of three appeared.
As soon as they appeared, everyone who was socializing at the scene stopped.
"Greetings to the prince, and greetings to the crown prince."
"Thank you all for coming. Don't be shy. Enjoy your food and drinks." Ye Yanxing greeted everyone.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door, "Master Mu Chuan of Jizhou has arrived!"
Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun looked towards the door at the same time.
Mu Chuan walked in gracefully. He looked more mature and grown up now.
He no longer has baby fat on his face like the last time we met. It’s gone now.
I don’t know what he did during this time.
"Brother, Brother Fu." Mu Chuan called out.
His identity has been revealed, so it is not wrong for him to call Ye Yanxing "brother".
"Why are you here?" Ye Yanxing was indeed surprised. Jizhou had already sent a special gift, but he didn't expect Mu Chuan to come in person.
This was the first time Jizhou sent a gift, and also the first time he showed goodwill to Ye Yanxing and Ye Xingche.
Putting aside his identity and position, Ye Yanxing still likes Mu Chuan very much.
Now that Jizhou has also expressed its stance, he naturally welcomes it.
"Well, my father is not restraining me now." Mu Chuan walked happily to Ye Yanxing, "Brother, I have made up my mind. I want to join the military camp of Jizhou and take charge of Jizhou's troops."
Only with rights can you have a say and initiative when something happens.
Ye Yanxing raised his eyebrows. Mu Chuan's idea made sense. "Very good."
"Brother, I will always stand by you." Mu Chuan expressed his attitude.
"You've had a hard time coming here. Please sit down and eat first." Ye Yanxing patted his shoulder.
"Yes." Mu Chuan took two steps and then stepped back, "I wish my nephew Chen An peace and health every year."
"Thank you, brother." After not seeing each other for so long, Xiaopang no longer remembers Mu Chuan.
"Not brother, call me uncle." Fu Qianrun corrected his address.
"Thank you, uncle." Xiaopang immediately changed his words.
Although he felt that Mu Chuan was more like a brother, since his father said he was an uncle, then he was an uncle.
"Good boy." Mu Chuan sat down in his seat with satisfaction.
Basically, everyone who should have come, whether invited or not, has already arrived.
There was no special ceremony for the two-year-old’s birthday, it was just eating and drinking together.
When the guests had almost finished eating, a huge cake was pushed over.
This was specially made by Ye Yanxing. The cake was divided into several layers and the entire height was almost as tall as him.
The others had never seen a cake before, and were shocked when they saw such a big cake.
"What is this?"
“It looks like dessert.”
"But the dessert is so big?"
Jiang Zekai poked Zhang Hengyu, "Do you know what this is?"
The people around also pricked up their ears when they heard this.
Zhang Hengyu rolled his eyes. How did he know? The master didn't tell him!
But he couldn't say that, because then wouldn't his position as the most popular person in front of King Yan be too empty?
"General Jiang will know what it is next. What the prince takes out is never ordinary." Zhang Hengyu laughed.
Tsk, if you don’t know then you don’t know. You are really good at pretending.
Jiang Zekai also rolled his eyes in his heart. He saw through Zhang Hengyu's trick at a glance.
"Ahem." Zhang Hengyu felt a little guilty after being looked at. He coughed and continued, "It would be meaningless if I told others about the surprise given by the prince in advance."
Jiang Zekai nodded with a smile.
Zhang Hengyu immediately looked away and started chatting with Cheng Yu.
Cheng Xiaobao looked at the huge cake with shining eyes and saliva flowing down. He really wanted to take a bite!
"Xiaobao, wipe your saliva." Cheng Yu deliberately scared him.
Cheng Xiaobao raised his sleeve and wiped the corner of his mouth. He found it was dry and then realized that he had been deceived by his brother.
"Brother!" He was extremely embarrassed. "Brother Hengyu, please take care of him!"
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Hengyu laughed wildly. He hadn't seen Cheng Xiaobao being so childish in a long time.
Usually Cheng Xiaobao acts like a little adult no matter who he is in front of. Now his childish side is so vivid.
Magistrate Zhang and his wife also smiled secretly.
"Hmph." Cheng Xiaobao pouted. He wanted to go find his handsome brother and ignore these people.
Cheng Xiaobao stood up and walked straight towards Ye Yanxing and the others.
"Pretty brother, brother Chen An."
"Xiaobao is here." Ye Yanxing rubbed the top of his head, and Cheng Xiaobao lowered his head obediently.
"Brother Xiaobao." Xiaopang remembered Cheng Xiaobao because he would come to play with Xiaopang as soon as it was his day off.
It can be said that in Yizhou, Cheng Xiaobao is Xiaopang’s only playmate.
"Well, I wish brother Chenan peace and happiness, and may you have this day every year." Cheng Xiaobao gave his gift to Xiaopang.
It is a small toy he carved himself, which is very suitable for the fat boy now.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaobao!" As expected, when Xiaopang saw the toy, he happily took it and played with it in his hands.
After the cake was brought out, Ye Yanxing said a few polite words and prepared to have people cut it and distribute it.
"No!" Xiaopang shouted to stop the servant.
The servant stopped what he was doing, at a loss, and everyone looked at Xiaopang in confusion.
"Manman, what's wrong?" Fu Qianrun squatted down and asked him.
“Daddy, there was no singing.” Xiaopang pouted. When he was watching TV, people would sing on their birthdays!
"Uh." Fu Qianrun was stuck. Of course he knew what Xiaopang was talking about, but here, no one would sing at the birthday party.
Besides, he doesn’t know how to do it!
There was no other way, Fu Qianrun had to throw the question to Ye Yanxing. He looked at Ye Yanxing leisurely, and his meaning was very clear.
Xiaopang also looked at Ye Yanxing and looked at him expectantly, "Father!"
Everyone present was looking at Ye Yanxing. No one understood what was going on, but that didn't stop them from watching the fun.
"Singing?" Ye Yanxing hasn't participated in this activity since he became an adult.
"Yeah!" Xiaopang's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Okay, let's sing first!" Ye Yanxing accepted it well. After all, this was something he had been exposed to since he was a child.
There's nothing wrong with singing birthday on your birthday.
"Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you... Wish you grow up healthily..."
Ye Yanxing sang and clapped his hands to keep the rhythm. Everyone present was infected by him, and Xiaopang even hummed along with him.
"Happy birthday to little Ye Chenan! Grow up quickly!" After singing the song, Ye Yanxing said his blessings to Xiaopang. After that, he dipped his finger in the cream on the cake and then smeared it directly on his nose.
"Hahahaha!" Little Fatty was laughing happily.
Fu Qianrun also smiled, and then told the servant to cut the cake.
Looking at this heartwarming scene between the father and son, others couldn't help but sigh that they seemed to be a little too serious with their children.
Look how happy their prince is after putting aside his airs and having fun with the crown prince!
The banquet lasted until dark, and then everyone left.
Everyone else left, only Mu Chuan stayed behind stubbornly.
