On the day of Sikong Haoxuan's birthday, the Imperial Capital received the most inspiring news of victory in the last hundred years.
Leading his Blizzard Legion, Sikong Warrior seized the opportunity of the rebellion of the three major lords of the Sark Empire, and five days ago, he made a surprise attack on the Sark Empire's Watchtower City across the Tecan Mountain Range, heavily damaging the Sark Empire's Third and Fifth Legions.
With the occupation of Watchtower City, the long Uyar Steppe Defense Line that had dragged the Empire down for over a hundred years would lose its need to exist. Since then, Watchtower City and Skyhawk City formed an angle to guard the Tecan Pass, completely blocking the Sark Empire's northern invasion path and disrupting the entire northern strategic deployment of the Sark Empire.
"Sikong War is a great achievement, the southern border of the empire has been pacified, and from now on there will be no more wars in the Helsi Grassland." Inside the imperial capital, the palace, Locus was overjoyed.
"Sikong War is promoted to the first rank of Marquis, Grand General of Wuwei, and is in charge of the southern border's military administration." As Emperor Lox's holy decree descended, the court was shocked. Sikong Buqun is in charge of the Ministry of War, Sikong War is now in charge of the Southern Border military and government, the Sikong family can be said to be in power at this time.
Sikong residence, is busy for his son's birthday Song Ziyan received the news of her husband's great victory was awarded, eyeballs a turn "huh" a smile, said to himself: "this time I just want to not spread all can't do it."
Embroidered carpet, from the Sikong residence gate straight through the far-reaching avenue. Both sides of the avenue are decorated with lanterns, and at the side door of the residence, the servants are even more busy coming in and out.
Sikong Buqun, who returned from the court with a spring in his step, saw such fanfare in the mansion, and was busy finding Song Zi Yan and said bitterly, "I say, Zi Yan ah. Are you celebrating Xuan Er's birthday? For those who don't know, I'm afraid that the Sikong Mansion is welcoming a daughter-in-law for Xuan'er."
Song Zi Yan wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and while giving orders to the servants, she said, "Father, you must have known about the news of the great victory in the Sikong War and the Emperor's additional title."
Sikong Buqun didn't have the good sense to say, "I just came back from the Palace of Diligence, of course I know."
"Which is true, I'm doing this to take advantage of Xuan'er's birthday to give the entire court a chance to say goodbye. Let Xuan'er get a good dose of his father's light."
A maid with a small busy red face came marching in, and after saluting Sikong Buqun, she said to Song Ziyan, "Madam, according to your orders, three warehouses have been vacated in the mansion for backup."
Sikong Buqun's hand that had been holding his beard trembled, almost pulling off a strand of white beard, "Zi Yan, what are you doing vacating the warehouses?"
"Father, I'm afraid that Xuan'er will receive quite a few gifts today, I'm afraid that three warehouses won't be enough. Perhaps His Majesty the Emperor will even send gifts, your gift for Xuan'er is already prepared, right?"
Sikong Buqun busily said, "Yes, yes, I'll go and prepare gifts for Xuan'er right now." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the main hall, he didn't dare to stay any longer, or else he didn't know what he would be set off again between this smart daughter-in-law's turns of words.
In the courtyard, Sikong Haoxuan, who was being manipulated by the maids of honor in a thousand different ways, moaned breathlessly, "Still not ready? I've already tried more than twenty sets, it's just a birthday."
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"Fourth Young Master, the little maidservants don't dare to make decisions. Every time you change a set and stand in front of the magic crystal ball, madam isn't satisfied, we can't do anything about it."
Surrounded by a group of maidservants, the fragrance rippled, causing Sikong Haoxuan to be unable to sink into his meditation and cultivation, only praying in his heart for his mother to be satisfied soon.
"Fourth young master, madam is very satisfied with your current gown, and asked me to call you to the main hall, to meet the guests. There are many, many guests coming today." A maid ran into the other courtyard very excitedly.
Sikong Haoxuan was dressed in an intricately embroidered black gold trimmed nobleman's gown, and was quite annoyed in his heart as he walked on the main verdant stone road leading from the mansion to the main hall, "How come this shitty road is usually not found to be so long, miss today must get a sedan chair to sit on."
Entering the main hall, the fluke is Sikong Haoxuan has the soul of a modern man is also considered to have seen the big scene of the characters, but also by the scene in the eyes of the stunned.
Wide main hall, colorful lamps hanging, red silk fluttering, the sound of people, afraid to open a few hundred tables of banquets. Song Ziyan was busy greeting the guests between the tables, and when she saw Sikong Haoxuan come in, she busily stepped forward and pulled Sikong Haoxuan's hand, introducing herself to all the guests dressed in fancy clothes.
Like a zombie, Sikong Haoxuan was dragged by his mother through the many guests, numbly handing each gift to the maids behind him.
A fat nobleman with an oily face got up and said in a loud voice, "On the occasion of the honorable young lord's birthday, we wish the young lord good fortune, health, and all the best."
Filling the seats, the crowd responded.
"Where did the idiot come from, there's really **** to yell after. Ten years old and longevity?" Sikong Haoxuan cursed in his heart, listlessly dealing with the many boring nobles and boring congratulatory messages.
For the entire day, Sikong Haoxuan was circulating amongst the greetings, thanking and receiving gifts. Although it was said to be a good income, it was also quite disorganized.
At the beginning of the lantern, Sikong Haoxuan and his mother sent away the guests of the mansion one after another, and sighed in his heart, "Still the old man is smart, only came out to show one side of the unknown destination. Coping with this group of extravagant and ignorant nobles is really boring to the extreme."
Sikong Haoxuan, who had just sat down with his mother to rest, was grabbed up by his mother and hurriedly walked outside the hall after a "holy decree". Immediately following the imperial decree were the important ministers of the court, and Sikong Buqun appeared out of nowhere to greet them.
These high-powered ministers are indeed not comparable to those small nobles, full of not mentioning Sikong Haoxuan's "birthday", but for the Sikong war victory to congratulate.
The gifts of the Emperor and the important ministers were not sent out by pieces, but by teams. Just to carry the gifts of the team into the residence for half an hour, so that not yet completely removed the smell of earth Sikong Haoxuan eye-opening.
After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, the center door of the Sikong residence was closed, meaning that the guests had dispersed. The family was finally able to eat together, Song Zi Yan leaned on the soft collapse tiredly, the maid gently pounded her sore calves for her, with a smile on her face, she was very satisfied with today's banquet, ''Xuan'er, you have dipped into your father's light today. In this entire Imperial Capital, I'm afraid that no one knows the name of the fourth young master of the Sikong Family anymore."
Sikong Haoxuan was also paralyzed in his chair, pouring juice into his mouth and vaguely said, "Next time there is this good thing, let second brother have it."
"Fourth brother, then second brother here thanks you in advance, your third sister and I have been envious of you for a day."
Sikong Xiaoyue reached out and snatched the cup from Sikong Haoxuan's hand, and viciously said, "Little villain, you've received quite a few gifts today ah, elder sister wants half of it."
Sikong Haoxuan, who instantly hid behind Song Ziyan, looked pitifully at his mother, "Mom, look, third sister is trying to rob me again. Those gifts are what I've earned from a day's hard work."
Song Zi Yan hugged Sikong Hao Xuan to her chest and took out an amethyst card, "Xuan'er, mom's birthday present for you."
Sikong Xiao Yue looked blearily at the amethyst card that quickly disappeared into Sikong Hao Xuan's hands and said in dissatisfaction, "You little devil, you didn't show it to your sister."
Sikong Haoxuan's small hand was placed in front of Sikong Xiao Yue, "Sister, my birthday present."
Sikong Xiao Yue wrinkled that delicate and beautiful nose and pulled out a crystal ball as pure as clear water from her bosom and stuffed it into Sikong Hao Xuan's hand.
