The northwest Licheng was just a not very prominent city in the northwest of Great Chu six or seven years ago. However, because the Ding Palace was located here, it developed into a must-pass place connecting the countries in the Western Regions and the Central Plains trade route in just a few years, and at the same time it has become one of the most prosperous cities among the surrounding countries. Now, it is on the line with the original Xiling Imperial City in the west and the Chujing Changxing Liancheng in the east. At this point, the east-west trade route that the Ding Palace has worked hard for several years has been declared complete. Licheng is also destined to become a transit and diversion place between the two sides, and its prosperity is even more prosperous.

It was just mid-June, and more people came to Licheng from other places. Among them, there were not only wealthy businessmen, famous families, Qingliu scholars, and even those in power from all over the country and royal family. For a time, the entire Licheng could be said to be a gathering of heroes. Originally, although Mr. Qingyun was famous all over the world, if it were just his birthday, there would never be so many people coming. However, when Mr. Qingyun was the grandfather of Princess Ding and the Xu family occupied an extremely important position in the Ding Mansion, all this became much different. What's more, there were two major events in King Ding's two capitals and the Happy Denor Hen's son. Basically, as long as you can get there, you won't miss this grand event.

In the Dingwang Mansion in the city, Mr. Qingyun and Su Zhe were sitting in a cool tree playing chess. No matter how noisy and noisy it was outside, it would not be transmitted to them. While thinking about the chess game in front of him, Su Zhe smiled and said, "Now this Licheng is a gathering of heroes, and Mr. Qingyun is very lucky."

Mr. Qingyun shook his head calmly, "What does it mean to have a birthday? It's better to sit together and have a simple meal. How many people in the city really want to celebrate my birthday?" Su Zhe thought, although Mr. Qingyun said this bluntly, it was also the truth. He smiled faintly: "After all, it's filial piety for the children and grandchildren. Mr. Qingyun should not attack them like this."

Mr. Qingyun smiled and said, "How could I be so ignorant? Although we old men are old and weak, we still have to watch a few scenes."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe smiled and shook his head repeatedly. A son fell slowly in his hand and said with a smile: "If you say this, it makes those who are rushing to come with rushing embarrassment."

"I've seen Mr. Qingyun." A servant in green said respectfully at the door. Mr. Qingyun raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant replied respectfully: "Mr. Xu is back and is waiting outside the door to pay tribute to his husband, and there is also a Mr. Xiuting who is asking for a visit."

Su Zhe and Mr. Qingyun looked at each other, and Mr. Qingyun hurriedly said, "Come to Mr. Xiuting and Qingbai." The servant took the order and Su Zhe smiled and said, "Chen Xiufu has come too. I heard that he helped the fourth son in Xiling. It seems that he has truly surrendered to the Dingwang Mansion now." Mr. Qingyun smiled and said, "If Qingbai gets his sincere help, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

While speaking, Mr. Xiuting and Xu Qingbai had already walked in one after another. Xu Qingbai walked to Mr. Qingyun and knelt respectfully and bowed respectfully, "Grandson pays respects to his grandfather. He has not been able to serve his grandfather for a long time, so please forgive me." Mr. Qingyun quickly reached out and pulled him up and down, looked up and down and nodded and smiled, "Good child, he looks energetic. It seems that he is doing well in Xiling?" Xu Qingbai smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Xiuting's help, his grandson is not in a hurry."

Next to him, Mr. Xiuting also hurriedly stepped forward to see him, "Mr. Chen Xiufu has met Mr. Qingyun and Mr. Su." Mr. Xiuting also met Su Zhe when he was traveling to Chujing. Although he had not seen him for many years, he still remembered his general appearance. Mr. Qingyun smiled and said, "You don't have to be too polite to Xiuting. It's rare to come to Licheng once. If there is any negligence, don't blame me." Mr. Xiuting hurriedly said that he didn't dare. Su Zhe invited Mr. Xiuting to sit down and talk for a long time. The three of them were all rare scholars in this world, so they were naturally very speculative when speaking. Seeing that they were having fun chatting, Xu Qingbai got up and said goodbye to see Xu Hongyu.

At this time, the large study room of the Dingwang Mansion was also busy. Even Ye Li, who was not allowed to do it, was arrested and busy in the study room. It was less than ten days before Mr. Qingyun's birthday, and many of the VIPs who came to attend the birthday banquet had arrived one after another. This banquet was an unprecedented grand occasion. In less than a month, the population of Licheng increased by more than 30%. Among them, in addition to the guests invited by the Dingwang Mansion, there were also merchants from various countries who came to hear the news, as well as many scholars and tourists who came to join the ceremony. It is hard to say that the inns in Licheng were full of people, and there were even many late people who could not find a place to stay.

Suddenly there were so many more people, and there were naturally countless issues such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, public security, etc. There were also the balance between the powerful and wealthy countries, the relationship between these people, the relationship with the Ding Prince's Mansion, and what kind of agreements the two sides could reach and what kind of benefits they could get. No wonder they were busy with the top priority.

When Xu Qingbai came in, he saw his father, his two brothers, Mo Xiuyao and Yeli sitting around the wide long table, with various thick folds piled up in front of each of them. Not to mention, more folds piled up in front of Zhuo Jing and others in front of him were doing preliminary review and classification. Thinking about his busyness in Xiling these few months, he had no time to eat, so he couldn't help but feel happy. It seems that it is not only because he is tired in Xiling, and his father and brothers who stayed in Licheng were no less.

"Prince, father, eldest brother, second brother, Li'er. I'll be back." Xu Qingbai said with a smile.

Seeing him come in, Mo Xiuyao, who was originally sitting beside Ye Li, suddenly his eyes reflected, which made Xu Qingbai feel a chill on his back. Mo Xiuyao smiled enthusiastically and said, "Qingbai is back, thank you for your hard work all the way. Come in and sit in." Xu Qingbai couldn't help but be flattered by Mo Xiuyao's courtesy, and looked at Mo Xiuyao alertly and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, it's okay."

In this way, Mo Xiuyao smiled even more happily, "Since you are not tired... Come on, this is yours." Mo Xiuyao casually raised his hand and slapped Xu Qingbai into the chair next to him. It didn't hurt, but he didn't want to stand up. Then he looked at Mo Xiuyao and moved all the notes in front of Ye Li to Xu Qingbai without hesitation, and said with a smile: "I'll bother you. Ali, the doctor said that you can't use your eyes too much after giving birth. Let's leave these things to Qingbai."

Xu Qingbai looked at the piles of memos in front of him and was stunned. When he met his elder brother's teasing look, he realized that he was clearly the coolie he delivered to his door.
