The six princes led the men to wander in the backyard as the host, while the women drank tea and watched the play under the stage in the front yard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jiang Guifei instructed the maids to pour tea and water for the ladies present, and one of the maids accidentally fell and kicked the table next to him, and a gift box on the table fell down, revealing the picture scroll inside.

The picture scroll depicts a galloping horse, and if you zoom in a little bit, you can achieve a realistic effect. Not only do the artist's movements and mane come to life, but even the horse's eyes seem to be talking. Xia Chuyan has never seen anyone who can paint an animal as if it is alive, and today is considered to be a long experience.

"It's so good, I almost jumped up when I saw this painting just now, and I thought it was a really handsome horse. Concubine Lin saw that Concubine Jiang's face had changed, so she took the initiative to change the topic. After all, Jiang Guifei is the master today, and it is natural to please her appropriately.

Sure enough, after Concubine Lin's words were finished, everyone shifted their attention to the exposed picture scroll. Lin Lin's wife, Jiang Han, stood up, she knew that it was inappropriate for her to hide in the crowd as Concubine Lin's mother, but she didn't want to be involved too much with Concubine Lin, and she didn't even want others to know that she was Concubine Lin's mother. The reason why she stood up was because she liked the painting, and she saw a familiar shadow in the painting.

"The courtiers also think this painting is very good, but I don't know which master painted it?"

Concubine Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw her mother speak. She knew that her mother always hid herself, and she wished that everyone could not see her, so it was really rare to take the initiative to speak today.

"Is Mother curious too?"

"The courtiers have been fortunate enough to meet a few excellent painters before, but they have never seen anyone who can draw horses so realistically. ”

Jiang Guifei glanced at everyone present, and then asked if the people present knew anything, but everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know. Concubine Jiang had to summon the housekeeper and found out who gave this gift.

"Xiya?" Jiang Guifei repeated the name that the butler said.

"What's the name? It sounds so strange, and I've never heard of a painter named Xiya. Does anyone know about you?"

Jiang Guifei asked, but found that no one answered.

In fact, there was one of the people present with this name, but she froze after hearing this name, repeating the word "Xiya" in her whole head, and she could no longer hear any sound from others in her ears.

The banquets went on one after another, and after this incident, the topic of everyone's chat began to turn to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. In this regard, women always have endless topics to talk about, and Jiang Guifei coped with it boringly, but her eyes secretly observed the few girls present who were about to talk about marriage.

Jiang Guifei found that Xia Shangshu's daughter was unfazed from beginning to end, no matter what others said, she responded lightly with a smiling expression, neither enthusiastic and unpleasant.

"Mrs. Shangshu's daughter is really beautiful, how old is she this year?" Jiang Guifei's question made everyone's eyes instantly shift to Ouyang Wanru and Xia Chuyan.

Ouyang Wanru immediately took her daughter to get up and salute Jiang Guifei, and then replied: "Hui Niangniang, the little girl is only eleven years old this year. ”

"Oh, you can talk about marriage after the New Year, but there are people you like. If not, we can personally find a suitable one for you. ”

"It's a blessing for the little girl to be able to make her mother care, but the little girl is too young now, and her father wants her to learn the rules at home for two more years, and the courtiers are not good at disobeying their husbands. ”

Ouyang Wanru used the word "disobedience", which made it clear that he didn't want others to interfere in his daughter's marriage. She knew what Concubine Jiang meant at the time, the sixth prince was only one year older than Xia Chuyan, and it was the age of engagement.

However, the royal woman is not happy, Ouyang seems to have seen too much royal fighting, so it is impossible to push his daughter into the quagmire tiger's den.

Jiang Guifei's face became ugly again, Ouyang Wanru's direct refusal made her feel that she had lost face, but as a concubine, she took the initiative to win over others, but she was slapped hard, and Jiang Guifei couldn't swallow this breath.

However, we must endure this breath today, and there will be a chance to return it in the future.

"For the sake of my son, endure!" Jiang Guifei said fiercely in her heart.

What Jiang Guifei didn't know was that she was talking about dignitaries and their families all day long for her son's future, but his precious son did not have the slightest sense of crisis. Because, the six princes are playing a game of sword dancing with the men in the backyard.

"It's hard to get together today, why don't we dance the sword?" After the prince made this suggestion, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. But the six princes were so playful that they directly asked people to move out all the long and short swords at home.

The prince is average, and he first played two tricks and retreated. But because he is the crown prince, no one will say that he is not good to his face, but that he assists the emperor in studying the court and politics is busy and has no time to exercise, so he is not as good as the second prince.

When it comes to the second prince, the second prince naturally has to come to the stage and show his hand to everyone.

Lin Ruochen was standing behind and watching not the second prince who was dancing the sword, but the crown prince who made the initial suggestion. In his previous life, Lin Ruochen and the prince did not meet many times, but he knew that his brain was duller than that of other princes, and he had never made a big mistake but also did not make a great achievement. However, how could he, as a crown prince today, suddenly propose to dance the sword? It seems a little unreasonable according to his character. Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much, it's possible for the prince to speak without going through his brain, right?

The second prince walked down the steps at this time and threw his sword to the sixth prince. It's not a strange thing, but here's the problem. When the second prince walked up to the stage with a sword, his feet slipped and he fell directly to the ground. And when he fell to the ground, the sword he was holding flew out of his hand and stabbed at the prince next to him.

Everyone present was stunned, such a thing was unexpected for them. When the prince fell to the ground, everyone reacted. Some people went to the front yard to find Jiang Guifei, some people looked for the imperial doctor everywhere, and some people quietly retreated so as not to be implicated.

Lin Ruochen immediately approached the sixth prince and said in his ear: "Hurry up and take care of the prince and apologize to him." ”

The six princes didn't react for a while after hearing this, but Chi Nuannuian, who was beside him, came to his senses and pulled the six princes to kneel beside the prince with a puff. Then, everyone present saw how the sixth prince apologized to the prince with tears on his face, how the prince endured the pain to comfort his sixth brother who had hurt him, and the two performed a harmonious brotherhood in public.

When Concubine Jiang Guifei arrived, she saw such a scene, she was a little older, and she started to do things vigorously, first asked the doctor in the palace to stop the prince's bleeding, and then personally supported the prince's body, and rushed all the way into the palace hospital.

When the imperial doctor treated the prince's injuries, although Jiang Guifei's face was covered with sweat and her clothes were unclean, she insisted on standing in the imperial hospital and waiting. After this scene, it was reported to the emperor as it was, but the emperor didn't believe that things would be so simple, so he personally sent a pair of people to investigate, but the result surprised him.
