Cui Yanjin muttered, "Can I be blamed for a good gift? If anyone's to blame, it's my cousin for being so stingy and jealous. I'm just his step-brother, and he can't stand me showing any courtesy to my sister-in-law. What if she gets tired of his foul temper and chooses a gentle, beautiful, and understanding king consort to enter the palace? Would he even give that a kill?"
Cui Xingzhi twitched his mouth, "My sister-in-law won't do that, my cousin won't either."
Cui Yanjin huffed, "Anyway, it's because his temper is too bad."
Mister Cui chuckled and coughed lightly, "Enough! The banquet has started!"
The cousins closed their mouths.
Indeed, dancing girls filed into the hall, and in no time, the music and dance had the place buzzing.
It was the princess' birthday; government officials were rarely on leave. After Cui Yanjin's little episode, everyone relaxed, and the song and dance signified peace and prosperity.
