Chapter 747 Birthday Banquet
In fact, there were some things Shen Xia was completely unaware of.
Thinking back to the thrilling stabbing incident that happened in the academy, if Li Yi's people had intervened at that time, Tang Xia would not have been able to even get close to Shen Xia, and naturally would not have been able to hurt her at all.
Even Ling Heng didn't need to help.
Li Yi only learned about this matter after he returned to the capital.
Because of this, he replaced the person who was previously assigned to protect Shen Xia.
It would have been impossible to forgive him so easily at the beginning.
Seeing that Li Yi was not there, Shen Xia turned around and returned to his seat and sat down again.
Gu Zizhan next to him asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xia shook her head: "It's okay, I just didn't see Li Yi. I wanted to ask him to have dinner with us."
Gu Zizhan: "Oh, where did he go?"
Shen Xia: "I don't know, forget about it, let's eat!"
The eldest princess said from the side: "Yuan'er, say a few words!"
She slowly glanced at the guests at the three tables, a gentle and friendly smile appeared on her face, and then she raised the wine glass in her hand.
He said in a loud voice: "I am very grateful that you can take the time out of your busy schedule to come to my small birthday party."
"What we have prepared today are just some home-cooked dishes and simple meals. I hope you will not be too formal."
"But everyone please leave a little space in your stomach, because we will have barbecue after dinner!" After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank the wine in the glass to show her sincerity and enthusiasm to everyone.
Shen Xia didn't drink anything cold, but hot tea because her period had come.
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Happy birthday to Princess Anping!"
We all drank together.
Everyone was amazed by the sumptuous dishes on the table and the barbecue.
Of course, Tu Chenan and the others don’t know what barbecue is.
But when I think about it, since it was Shen Xia's idea, it must be something special.
Shen Xia, Song Yun, Qiu Ziyang, Gu Zizhan, the eldest princess, Song's mother and the Shen family sat at the same table, along with Tu Chenyuan and the other three.
Song Jin and his brothers sat at the same table with Ji Huairen, Xiaotian, Mo Yan, and Zhao Lin.
Gu Ziyan, Su Yao, Xia Shuran, and five other children sat at the table.
Except for the children, all the people at this table are women.
As a result, Zheng Jinshu insisted on coming to this table.
Gu Zizhan originally asked him to go to his table, but this guy felt that this table was fine.
Of course, it just so happened that he was next to Gu Ziyan.
Because both of them were engaged and had already given their marriage proposals, there was no barrier between men and women.
The main reason is that the banquet was small.
Zheng Jinshu looked at Song Yiyi and the others on the right: "I will take good care of you later."
Yifan nodded: "Uncle Zheng is such a nice person."
Yiyan also said very politely: "Yes, that's it."
Song Yiyi was a smart kid: "If Uncle Zheng wants to take care of the three of us, he has to sit in the middle of us!"
Zheng Jinshu choked: "It's okay, uncle has long arms and can take care of you three."
In fact, the spring flowers and autumn fruits are all behind them, and they don’t need anyone to take care of them. They know how to take care of themselves.
Su Yao and Xia Shuran on the opposite side wanted to roll their eyes.
Does he want to take care of the one on the right or the one on the left?
Gu Ziyan was so embarrassed by Zheng Jinshu, even though he said he would give her face.
There's no outsider here, so there's no need to pretend like that!
But Gu Ziyan didn't say much.
The chefs in the Princess' Mansion are all specially trained by Shen Xia, so the flavors of the dishes are relatively novel.
Everyone liked it very much and thought it was very special.
There are also braised dishes that are even more irresistible.
There was also that special juice and soda, the child drank juice and the woman drank Sprite.
When Fan Yumoyan was still young, he also drank Sprite.
Others just drank wine.
Only Shen Xia drank hot tea.
Tu Chenyu, who was sitting opposite Shen Xia, smiled and asked, "Sister, what did Xiao Yiyi drink?"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "That's juice," then glanced at Jixiang next to him.
Jixiang immediately understood and poured a cup over.
Put it next to Tu Chenyu: "Try it, if you like it, drink this!"
Tu Chenyuan said beside him: "Sorry to bother you, Princess. I have been very curious since I was a child."
Shen Xia: "Well, it's okay. I was also quite curious when I was a kid and wanted to try everything."
Tu Chenyuan was very relieved because his sister had no friends in Beijing. It was because of this that he had thought of bringing Chu Yan over to keep her company, but who would have known that something like that would happen.
Seeing Princess Anping defending her sister like this.
Both Tu Chenyuan and Tu Chenan were very happy.
Tu Chenyu took a sip and said, "Well, the taste is different, but they are both delicious."
Shen Xia: "Well, even if it tastes good, you can't drink too much, and you can't eat too much of anything."
Tu Chenyu nodded: "Yes, Princess Sister, I understand, it has to be moderate."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Okay."
Shen Xia looked at the table where Gu Zizhan and Tu Chenyuan were drinking.
Song Yun also drank some, but Song's mother, Shen's mother and the eldest princess did not drink.
Father Shen and Grandpa Shen also drank some.
Because only the people at this table didn't know each other, Shen Xia introduced everyone as soon as they sat down at the table.
Shen Xia was right there taking good care of Shen's mother.
Because only Shen's mother is unfamiliar with this environment.
The meal was finished in an hour.
Because Shen Xia mentioned that there would be barbecue, no one ate too much. In their opinion, anything Shen Xia produces must be top quality!
The food at night is definitely more delicious.
Shen Xia has already asked someone to roast a whole lamb, but since it is not winter now, they can't gather around to roast it.
It was too hot, so I roasted it slowly over a low fire on the side.
Overall, everyone enjoyed the meal.
Shen Xia frowned slightly and stared at Qiu Ziyang closely, only to see that his eyes frequently drifted towards the other table.
Although the movement was not big, Shen Xia noticed him immediately because he was sitting opposite him.
She couldn't help but become curious, and looked in the direction Qiu Ziyang was looking. It was no big deal, but she actually saw Zhao Xinzheng and Su Yao chatting and laughing.
Shen Xia opened her mouth slightly in surprise, as if she had discovered some shocking secret.
She thought to herself: Qiu Ziyang looks to be in his early twenties!
Normally speaking, most men of this age would have already started a family and a career, but I heard that he is not married yet?
Why didn’t you get married?
Is it because the vision is too high?
Or do you have something to hide?
Thinking of this, Shen Xia decided to ask Song Yun when he had the chance. After all, he should be more familiar with the situation here.
But then again, if Qiu Ziyang really fell in love with Xin'er, and Xin'er happened to be interested in him, then they would be a perfect match.
When thinking of this, Shen Xia's face unconsciously showed a smile...
