After Song Lanyi sat down at the New Year Banquet table.

She suddenly realized...that her position seemed a bit subtle.

On her left is Zhu Chuanye, and opposite is Zhu Bing.

As soon as Zhu Bing saw Song Lanyi, he narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhu Ji is a busy man.

Since Mrs. Zhang became the hands-off shopkeeper, Zhu Ji, the eldest son, has become the chief quartermaster who is always busy.

All kinds of cotton-padded clothes, winter quilts and even food in winter need to be coordinated and managed by him.

However, after not seeing him for a while, Zhu Ji seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Even the originally chubby round face showed some edges and corners.

By chance, Zhu Ji was sitting on top of Zhu Chuanye.

Song Lanyi took advantage of the distance to raise his glass to Zhu Ji from a distance, and said with a smile, "The eldest son has lost a lot of weight. It seems that he is very tired on weekdays. Today, he should take advantage of the New Year's banquet to take more tonic."

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Ji heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face.

He let out a long sigh, "Don't talk about this matter anymore. I finally lost weight. If I gain weight again, I'm afraid my wife will..."

At the end of the sentence, he opened his mouth and seemed to say something that could not be said.

Song Lanyi's eyes lit up and she said meaningfully: "Oh~~~"

Zhu Ji: "..."

For a moment, I really wanted to beat Song Lanyi.

He held his breath and deliberately pretended to be fierce, "Don't tell anyone, do you hear me?"

Song Lanyi blinked, "Don't worry, I, Song Lanyi, have the strictest mouth. I will never say that the eldest son is henpecked!"

Zhu Ji felt...Song Lanyi might as well not say this.

It's simply trying to hide something.

In order to supervise Song Lanyi, Zhu Ji cast a faint gaze on Zhu Chuanye.

Zhu Chuanye was still enjoying his meal when he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back and trembled all over.

He raised his head in confusion.

On the other side, Zhu Bing chewed the tangerine in his mouth bitterly. Every time he chewed, it was like crushing flesh and white bones.

The doorman below has his eyes shining.

This kind of fun time doesn't happen every year.

After a while, King Qi came on stage hand in hand with Mrs. Zhang, and the New Year's Banquet really began.

When the time was almost up, the diners below showed up with New Year gifts.

"Send off the old and welcome the new. I wish Your Highness a successful New Year and may your great wishes come true!"

"On New Year's Day, I wish His Highness and Madam good luck and all their wishes come true."

"..."

Facing the New Year's greetings sent to him, King Qi looked calm and remained as serious as usual. Apparently he was not in a mood affected by these congratulatory messages, let alone being happy because of the New Year's gifts.

Fortunately, to put it mildly, everyone was used to his dead face, and for a while, there was no unusual reaction.

When it was the turn of the three eldest sons, Zhu Ji, as the eldest son, took the lead to step out.

He walked to the center of the hall and ordered someone to push up a large iron cage.

When the red silk satin was unveiled, there was an uproar in the hall.

I saw a pure white peacock, as white as the top of the mountain, pacing gracefully in the cage.

It either lowers its head to straighten its feathers with its beak, or looks at everyone with a proud expression.

Song Lanyi felt that this bird was a bit in need.

But in the eyes of everyone, this is clearly an auspicious bird!

Sitting at the table, a counselor was smiling and said, "Your Majesty, the peacock is an auspicious bird, which means peace and tranquility. Maybe next year, the Jingnan War will be over."

These words tickled King Qi's heart.

His expression fluctuated, and he showed a rare smile.

When Zhu Bing saw this, he sneered in his heart, but with a bright smile on his face, he stood up calmly.

When he reached the center of the hall, he calmly clapped his hands twice.

Suddenly, everyone's attention shifted to his hands.

They saw Zhu Bing pull towards the void, and a thousand-mile map of rivers and mountains appeared in front of everyone.

This painting is very delicate, but if you look closely, you can see that it is not a complete portrait.

To be precise, this should be called... an embroidery picture.

This embroidery picture covers the territory of the human race, from the ice and snow in the north to the poisonous smog in the south, from the land of hundreds of thousands of Buddhas in the west to the true dragon shark in the East China Sea.

What's even more valuable is that the embroiderer's superb embroidery skills give this picture of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers a unique charm.

Even King Qi couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Especially when his hand touched the location of the Northern Territory on the Jiangshan Map, his fingertips actually revealed a cold touch.

King Qi couldn't help but be moved by it.

A sincere smile appeared on his face. At this moment, no matter what Zhu Bing wanted in the end, King Qi still patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Well done."

And Zhu Bing, because of this short sentence, seemed to have great pride in his heart.

If King Qi laughed earlier, it was only because the counselor's words scratched his itch.

So now this map of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers has truly been sent to King Qi's heart.
