Chapter 5: Surprising
Many people whispered, and the volume seemed to be small, but it was enough to fall into the ears of everyone who should be able to hear it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Liu Guifei smiled extremely contemptuously, and then deliberately glanced at Ning Guifei, looking like she was waiting to watch the play.
Seeing this, Concubine Ning Guifei was a little embarrassed.
She never thought that Meng Xia would really take such a sachet that couldn't be put on the table, she really didn't know how important it was!
Seeing that even Empress Jiang shook her head dissatisfiedly, she regretted even more that she had agreed to help Meng Xia with Lang'er.
"Ouch, Nine Emperor Sister, this sachet is too ordinary, this is a birthday gift for your father, you can't help it, right?"
The fifth princess Meng Jin exclaimed slightly exaggeratedly, although she had deliberately covered it up, she still couldn't help the schadenfreude in her heart.
"Jin'er, don't talk about your Fifth Emperor Sister like that, it's good that she did it herself, and she never let others do it for her. According to her temperament, I'm afraid she has done her best. ”
Liu Guifei spoke out at the right time, sang and harmonized with her own daughter in public, and said to Meng Jin: "You are the imperial sister, since your nine emperor sisters are not very good at red needlework, you have to help her in the future and teach her well." ”
"Your Majesty, do you think the concubine is right?"
After that, Liu Guifei smiled at Emperor Meng Zhao, infinitely delicate, which was completely different from the ruthlessness she showed in front of others on weekdays, as if she had changed.
"Sisters should support each other." Emperor Meng Zhao nodded and affirmed: "Concubine Ai is right. ”
"Thank you, the emperor, the emperor has won the award!" Liu Guifei looked shy and happy.
She never misses this opportunity to grow her face in front of the emperor, how could it be the turn of a broken ninth princess?
"Although Ah Xia has tried her best, she really has no talent in the female red, and she can even be called stupid, so Ah Xia has the courage to beg her father for forgiveness!"
At this moment, Meng Xia, who had not squeaked all this time, calmly admitted and confessed to Emperor Meng Zhao, which was unexpected by everyone.
Meng Xia was neither humble nor arrogant at the moment, and he was downright generous, which naturally attracted the attention of Emperor Meng Zhao again.
It's just that before Emperor Meng Zhao could speak, the fifth princess Meng Jin took over again pretending to praise and said: "Father, the Nine Emperor Sisters are too modest, but Jin'er listens to the Third Emperor Brother always praising the Nine Emperor Sisters for being very smart, and they are very fast no matter what they learn." ”
"Oh, really?"
Seeing this, Emperor Meng Zhao said thoughtfully.
He didn't ask anyone clearly, but his gaze first swept over Meng Jin, and then at Meng Lang, the third elder who was sitting farther away, and finally refixed on Meng Xia in the center of the hall.
These children are a little interesting, Emperor Meng Zhao sighed secretly, but he didn't show anything.
"Let my father smile, and the praise of the fifth emperor sister made Ah Xia ashamed! Axia's cleverness is limited after all, so naturally he can't do everything. ”
Seeing this, although Meng Xia followed Meng Jin's words, she was not embarrassed at all, "The Fifth Emperor Sister hopes that Ah Xia can be perfect, but if it is insufficient, it is insufficient, and Ah Xia should admit that she does not dare to be strong." ”
"The Nine Emperor Sisters are really different, but I don't know what you use to do your little cleverness?" Meng Jin asked again, subconsciously feeling a little uncontrollable, with a bit of provocation.
The atmosphere became more and more strange, but Emperor Meng Zhao was not in a hurry to interfere, he just watched silently, quite inquiring.
And this time, Meng Xia did not respond to Meng Jin positively, but said directly to Emperor Meng Zhao: "Enlighten your father, the sons know that they are not doing well in needlework and embroidery, and the birthday gift sachet presented to their father is indeed a little out of their hands. Therefore, in the sachet, Erchen specially added another birthday gift, hoping to make up for one or two, and ask his father to forgive him! ”
Hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao smiled and said, "It seems that there is something else in this sachet!" ”
As he spoke, he opened the sachet in his hand with great interest.
Sure enough, the sachet did not contain any spices, only a piece of carefully folded rice paper.
Emperor Meng Zhao waved his hand, and did not ask the eunuch beside him to help, but personally took out the things inside and slowly unfolded them.
Everyone's eyes were all attracted to the past, and they didn't know what Meng Xia was up to.
But soon, they clearly saw that Emperor Meng Zhao's expression had changed greatly, first showing a look of shock, and then even more indescribable surprise.
The atmosphere in the hall became particularly strange.
Emperor Meng Zhao didn't speak for a long time, his eyes kept going back and forth on the piece of paper, and the others didn't dare to make a sound at the moment.
However, some careful people soon discovered that Liu Guifei and Ning Guifei, who were closest to the emperor and seemed to have discovered some opportunities, had completely different expressions from before.
One was obviously a lot more gloomy, and even raised his eyes to stare at Meng Xia, his eyes were sharp and cold.
One was still a little annoyed, but now it has long since dissipated, and there is a lot of surprise when he looks at Meng Xia.
While everyone was secretly speculating, Emperor Meng Zhao finally raised his eyes to look at Meng Xia.
His eyes were a little more solemn, and there were some indescribable complex emotions.
And Meng Xia naturally met Emperor Meng Zhao's gaze at that moment, and subconsciously showed a shallow smile.
The smile is clean and pure, as if it comes from the bottom of her heart without a trace of impurities, and it carries a kind of natural closeness of a daughter to her father.
Emperor Meng Zhao was slightly stunned, and suddenly there was an extremely subtle emotion surging in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile back at Meng Xia.
"Axia, did you really write this word?" He finally asked formally, and his attitude was unusually kind.
"Back to my father, this word was indeed written by Axia."
Meng Xia nodded, and said loudly: "Erchen wishes my father and the emperor to achieve his wish as soon as possible, 'Horses set foot in the northern frontier and unify the Central Plains'!" ”
"Good! What a 'horse stepping on the northern frontier and unifying the Central Plains'! Emperor Meng Zhao was extremely happy, laughed and announced in public: "This is the best birthday gift I have received this year!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was extremely surprised, and they never thought that a ninth princess who was nothing would be so praised by the emperor.
But there's more to it than that!
Without waiting for them to come back to their senses, Emperor Meng Zhao nodded again and said: "These eight words, the words are iron and silver hooks, and the wind god is seen in the backbone!" It is really commendable that you have such a comprehension and attainment in calligraphy at such a young age! I am very happy, let's talk about it, what kind of reward do my nine princesses want? ”
Such a high evaluation really made Liu Guifei and others even darker.
You must know that even the crown prince, the third prince and others have never received such a high and special praise from the emperor alone!
The fifth princess, Meng Jin's eyes were green, and she secretly scolded Meng Xia for being nothing more than a sycophant.
What real skills can a broken princess who is nothing have?
It's just that the eight words are a sign of pleasing favor, and it is just in the heart of the father!
"Father praised the Nine Emperor Sisters so much, it seems that the Nine Emperor Sisters' handwriting is already better than that of the Crown Prince and the Third Emperor Brothers?"
Meng Jin didn't think about it, put on a look of amazement, and asked directly to Emperor Meng Zhao curiously.
