Zhou Wenli, the youngest son of the Ministry of Shangshu, has just turned seven years old this year, wearing a well-fitting blue robe, with a chubby face and a lively personality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After he shouted like this, a cold sweat immediately oozed from the neck of Zhou Cong, the secretary of the ministry, and he covered his son's mouth and scolded in a low voice: "The erector is rude!" β
This is a public place, although King Huai looks smiling, but after all, he fought bravely on the battlefield back then, killing people like hemp, and he was angry if he couldn't keep it, and it was better to be stable when he was old.
But after all, he gave everyone a wake-up call, and one by one he showed a look of sudden realization, nodded and began to exchange ears.
"Yes, this is indeed the Pearl of the Night!"
"So many pearls of the night! It's still so big! How can it be! β
"It's true, this is sent by the saint!"
There is a peculiar light shining in the entire Jinling Palace, bright but not dazzling, soft and bright. Not to mention that those night pearls are as small as chickens, and the big ones even need to be carried by three or five servants, which is simply dumbfounded.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the guests, King Huai immediately laughed and said proudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please tell everyone!" β
Hearing this, the prince nodded slightly: "These two hundred night pearls were collected from all over the country by my father's order, especially to celebrate the birthday of King Huai!" β
King Huai nodded with satisfaction, and said by name: "Lord Zhou, your youngest son is so smart at a young age, and he has a lot of potential!" Come, the one next to him will be given to him! β
Zhou Cong didn't expect that the blind cat would meet the dead mouse, and his mood jumped from hell to heaven, his face turned from sadness to joy, and he thanked him again and again.
He pushed Zhou Wenli, who got up from the seat with a grunt and bowed respectfully: "Wenli, thank His Royal Highness King Huai for the reward!"
Although the light of the night pearl is soft, its nature is yin, and it is a little cool at the beginning of spring. King Huai had already considered this, and ordered his servants to take out the sandalwood in stock and light it around the Jinling Palace.
Suddenly, the warm fire light accompanied by the refreshing aroma surrounds the Jinling Palace, and the guests seem to be in a fairyland, just so, it is already intoxicating.
"Hahahaha, good! Good! King Huai was so excited that he clapped his hands and shouted, "Let's start!" β
The first thing that came up was a robe, and the servant reported loudly: "Doctor Guanglu Master Ma has a double-sided brocade gold and silver python robe!" β
Everyone stretched their necks to look, only to see that the body of the python robe was shining with colorful gems under the soft light, and the embroidery techniques were changeable, using gold and silver threads of different thicknesses and shades. The most peculiar thing is that the front of the robe is the dark red cloisonnΓ© pattern of Wufu Shou, but at the other hand, it is an emerald flower, bird, insect and fish rich and fragrant cloud map, one clothes to wear, it is really a rare baby!
Mrs. Ma raised her head proudly, this dress took a lot of effort to make, in order to catch a glimpse of it today!
Soon, the second treasure was also brought up, and this time everyone saw it really, it was a statue of a mutton fat white jade birthday star holding a peach. The birthday star's face was peaceful and dignified, and the heavenly court was full and lifelike. The longevity peach in the hand of the birthday star is carved with the whole ivory, revealing a colorful shadow under the illumination of the light, it is actually the word "longevity" in different fonts, and the bottom is inlaid with rubies, highlighting the freshness and fullness of the longevity peach.
"Lord Yu Shijiang, mutton fat, white jade, ivory ruby, birthday star, hold a peach statue!"
The third was a gift from King Zhao, who was not present. The old Zhao Wang's health has been bad, a few years ago has been gone, the son inherited the father's throne, now the Zhao King is only sixteen years old, Su loves to dance and make ink, this time the gift is naturally the landscape figure painting group of immortals to celebrate the birthday.
At first glance, there is no coincidence in this picture, but if you taste it carefully, you can find that the ink of each plant in the painting is condensed with the corresponding plant spices.
Next, the rest of the birthday gifts were carried up one after another. Prime Minister Feng Cheng gave a Huanghuali Taishi Immortal Chair, General Wang's gift was a cold light sword inlaid with precious stones, and Zuo Zhuguo's congratulatory gift was the long-lost ancient book "Treasure Appreciation Preface......
The brilliance of the night pearl and the lingering fragrance of sandalwood, and the presence of all the treasures, the guests have been fully integrated into this treasure feast at this time, praising these treasures vigorously, and some people are full of poetry, chanting poems against each other, all happy.
Ji's eyes drooped, and there was incomparable sadness in his words: "Such a feast, Yan'er is not blessed to see ......"
This sentence made everyone think about the news of Jing Yan's disappearance just now, and they all secretly regretted it.
Just when the guests thought that all the congratulatory gifts had been displayed, suddenly a servant hurriedly ran from behind. He held a small embroidered cloth bag in his hand and presented it to King Huai.
King Huai, who was full of red light, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which family's birthday gift is this?" β
The servant in charge of the registration number searched through the entire book of rites and did not find the corresponding name, and suddenly the monk of the second zhang was confused, so he had to kneel down and ask for sin: "The slave does not know, please forgive His Royal Highness King Huai." β
King Huai's face instantly became extremely ugly, not to mention that this was a great mistake, it was just disrespectful to the guests, if this gift was sent by someone with a heart to murder him, wouldn't it be dangerous!
Thinking of this, King Huai leaned back in his chair vigilantly, and said with a solemn expression: "Open it!" β
When the guests around heard this, they all turned their eyes, and the atmosphere that had just been strong suddenly dropped to freezing.
I saw the servant's hands trembling, and only a handful of seeds were shaken out of the cloth bag.
Everyone was disappointed, some ridiculed and some mocked, their eyes were fixed on the seeds, but no one noticed that King Huai's expression had changed more subtly.
At this moment, a woman Ying Ying, wearing a moon-white plain makeup skirt and a light water green blue dress, walked in from the door. The crowd turned their heads and suddenly stopped breathing.
The woman's skin is almost transparent, and her eyes are extremely gentle, but they are resolute, like a pool of quiet lake. A mole on the bridge of the nose seems to be dotted with nothing, but it is like the most exquisite expressive pen on the whole picture, and the beauty is thrilling.
Her clothes to participate in such a grand event would have seemed too plain, but under the light of the night pearl, it seemed to be plated with a layer of moon-white light, and a sense of admiration rose from the bottom of the heart, as if a fairy flying down from the Moon Palace.
If all the ladies and ladies are flowers in the garden, then this woman is the thin layer of snow that falls on the flowers, suppressing all the beauty and condensing at this moment.
I saw her picturesque face smiling, and her peach-colored lips opened lightly: "Meet His Royal Highness King Huai, the little woman is the eldest daughter-in-law of the hussar general, Jingyan, who was delayed on the road today and did not arrive as scheduled, I would like to present a birthday gift, please forgive King Huai!" β
The faces of the guests showed expressions of sudden realization, it turned out to be the daughter-in-law of General Wang's family, and she looked so beautiful. But after thinking about it, didn't Fang Cai Ji say that she was lost on the road and was most likely caught by the bandits, why did she suddenly appear again at this moment, what was going on?
Not to mention that everyone didn't believe it, even King Huai was a little surprised. Everyone looked at Ji Shi with inquiring eyes, Ji Shi hurriedly lowered his head, and his graceful and luxurious face was blue and white, full of doubts and surprises, and even more angry.
What's going on! How did this slut appear again!
