264. 264. Birthday Banquet 5
After that, the gifts given by the little prince and the little princess were a little more childlike, which made Emperor Huiwen laugh.
The back position is empty, and the concubine with the highest grade takes the lead in congratulating, the concubine sent a jade pillow polished by a thousand years of ancient jade, which is said to help calm the nerves, Emperor Huiwen let Leng Yi accept the gift but did not say a word, but it was the concubine and the harem concubine who embroidered the dragon map, so that Emperor Huiwen Longyan was happy.
Then there was a gift from the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, originally Mo Xuan should be the first to give a gift as the head of a hundred officials, but Qingyun said to Emperor Huiwen that Mo Xuan and she prepared a gift together, so starting with Lin Bingquan, Han Jingwen, and Li Zhengxun, the ministers congratulated in order of rank.
When everyone finished offering the gifts, Emperor Huiwen looked at his beloved daughter and smiled, "Jiu'er, I can't wait to see your gift." β
With a wave of his hand, eight purple-clothed guards walked to the middle of the banquet carrying a scroll, and then slowly unfolded the scroll, and a picture about three zhang wide and five zhang long came into everyone's sight.
Everyone looked at the painting with wide eyes, and some even stood up in amazement to see more clearly.
Emperor Huiwen looked shocked, then got up, strode to the front of the scroll with the support of Qingyun, stretched out his hand and stroked each part of the scroll one by one, and said excitedly: "Jiu'er, this is the topographic map of my Jin Kingdom?" β
"Back to my father, this is indeed the topographical map of my Jin Kingdom, which was completed by the sons and Prime Minister Han Cheng, as well as the purple guards and the secret guards, but most of them are places that Prime Minister Han Cheng personally visited during his recuperation." Qingyun glanced at Mo Xuan, and then pointed to the scroll: "Father, please see, this is the capital, this is Beiyuan County, this is Yanmen Pass, this is the Chu State, this is the Zhou State, this is the Liang State...... Also, this is Fengyin Mountain, this is the Dongyuan River, and this is the official road to the Great Xia tribe......"
The vast Jin Kingdom is explained by Qingyun, and every inch of land seems to be clearly visible in front of everyone's eyes.
Sima Rui, Sima Qi and Sima Xian looked at Qingyun in surprise and doting, while Sima Yue looked adoring, and admired Qingyun so much.
Guifei, Sima Chun and Lin Bingquan, as well as Taiwei and his party, changed their faces several times.
The rest of the people looked at each other, looked at Qingyun, and then at Mo Xuan, with different expressions.
When Prime Minister Han was ten years old, he left the capital to go to Mrs. Han's hometown to recuperate due to frailty and illness, and he only succeeded to the post of prime minister for more than a month, how could he be so close to the ninth princess?
Could it be that under the guise of going back to his hometown to recuperate, Prime Minister Han secretly conducted a field investigation on the order of the Ninth Princess, so as to draw this topographical map of the country?
But ten years ago, the ninth princess was only a five-year-old child, no matter how smart she was, it was impossible for her to think of drawing such a picture, right?
took in everyone's expressions, especially the subtle changes on Lin Bingquan's face, and a smile was hidden at the corner of Qingyun's lips.
In fact, she never thought of drawing such a topographic map, but once heard Bingying say that it would be good if there was a map, no matter whether it was marching or fighting, or where to play, it would be clear at a glance.
She asked Bingying what a map was, and Bingying explained it to her roughly.
So she thought about drawing a map, and told Chen Yu that Chen Yu also thought it was a very good idea, and said that he had also been to many places when collecting medicine.
After making up her mind, she sent people to take the capital as the center, extended in all directions, and personally went to each place, and recorded the local terrain, with the assistance of Bingying and Yan Nuo, it took nearly a year to draw such a national topographic map.
There were also detailed maps of the counties, but she didn't plan to let outsiders know.
At this moment, not only the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Jin State was shocked, but even Chu Yunyi and the envoys of other countries were also shocked.
Looking at the peerless light cloud, Princess Dark Cloud's eyes flashed with shock, and there was a faint trace of envy and anger.
When she saw Qing'er for the first time, she knew that Qing'er's mind and strategy were outstanding, just because Sima Chun was willing to hide his extraordinary intelligence.
Now, Qing'er actually thought of drawing such a rare topographic map, no wonder Emperor Jin would favor Qing'er so much, not only would he consult Qing'er on everything, but even in order for Qing'er to break the ancestral system, no matter how much her father favored her, some things would not let her do it rashly.
She admires Qing'er, and envies Qing'er, and at the same time resents Qing'er, if it weren't for Qing'er to provoke civil strife in Zhou through the emperor's uncle, Zhou's financial resources and military strength would not have lost so much, even if she has the heart to make good governance, I'm afraid that it will take at least ten years for Zhou to recover to its previous strength and wealth.
And what made her feel even more disappointed was that the sisterhood between her and Qing'er for many years was wiped out due to their different positions.
At this point, there was nothing she could do, she only hoped that there would be no day when they would meet each other in the future.
Emperor Huiwen couldn't put it down and caressed the huge topographic map, and his mouth exclaimed excitedly: "It's good, it's really good!" "Long Yan Dayue.
Obviously, on this birthday, Sima Rui's snow clothes, Sima Yue's military chess, and Qingyun's national topographic map made him the most satisfied.
Instructed Leng Yi to take people to hang the topographic map in the Jinluan Palace, thinking that every day as soon as he entered the Jinluan Palace, he could see the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Jin Kingdom, and Emperor Huiwen's heart was full of blood, and his laughter became louder and more pleasant.
What puzzled everyone was that Emperor Huiwen did not reward the Ninth Princess, Mo Xuan and others in public, but took the Ninth Princess's hand back to the dragon chair and sat down, what is the situation?
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Emperor Huiwen naturally understood everyone's thoughts, and then said majestically: "Passing the decree, the purple guards and the secret guards will assist the nine princesses, and Prime Minister Han Cheng will work hard to draw the topographic map, and give each person one hundred taels of gold, ten pearls, and twenty brocades, as for Jiu'er and Han Chengxiang, I will have another heavy reward later." β
Jiu'er and Mo Xuan want him to fulfill their relationship, if he rewards him in public, Jiu'er may take care of him and not speak well, but Mo Xuan will inevitably bring up the old things again, if he doesn't agree, the self-damage to his dignity is small, and he will regret hurting Jiu'er's heart in public.
Before, he was hesitant to give marriage, but now he is not in a hurry, because this time Chu Yunyi is obviously prepared, and he will look at the situation before making a decision.
Qingyun understood that her father still refused to agree to her marriage with Chen Yu, remembering that today was her father's birthday, and at the same time, thinking of the previous life against her father's wishes, causing the father and daughter to never see each other again until death, and finally she regretted it, so she didn't speak, just looked at Mo Xuan, and shook her head without a trace.
Mo Xuan smiled affectionately, signaling her to rest assured that he would not embarrass her on such an occasion, but the eyes that looked at Emperor Huiwen were as dark as the sea.
Xiyan is destined to only be my wife, and no one can stop it!
There are no absolutes in the world, and it is still unknown whose wife Jiu'er is until the end! Not to be outdone, Emperor Huiwen glared back at Mo Xuan.
Then we'll see! The corners of Mo Xuan's lips raised a wicked smile.
Well, I'd like to see what you're really capable of! Emperor Huiwen's eyes flashed with a faint essence.
Seeing the two people fighting silently, Leng Yi rolled his eyes: naΓ―ve!
The starry eyes circulated between Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi, Sima Xian's face was as quiet as the wind, and his eyes were silent.
Although these two people are dragons among people, one has a short life, and the other is the king of a country, obviously they are not a good match for Jiu'er, and his most satisfactory candidates are always Situ Jingyu and Lou Haiyang, because their identities are not prominent, and they do not have much ambition, so they are harmless to Jiu'er.
However, it seems that his father has some plan, so he will wait and see how it gets better.
Mrs. Han has been paying attention to her son, although she can't understand the meaning of the eyes between her son and the emperor, but she is keenly aware that the emperor doesn't seem to want her son to be with Jiu'er, it seems that she should be concerned about her son's body, and she can't help but look dark, it was she who hurt her son.
Feeling the depressed mood of his wife beside him, Han Jingwen felt pity, quietly held her slightly cool hand and whispered: "You relax, Mingji is extremely smart, and he will definitely think of a way to persuade the emperor to agree to this marriage, and besides, Jiu'er has a deep affection for Mingji, and he solemnly made a promise in front of you and me that day, and he will never abandon Mingji in this life and this life!" You, sooner or later, you will drink Jiu'er's cup of daughter-in-law's tea. β
"I feel sorry for Mingji, and I feel deeply ashamed of Jiu'er." Mrs. Han sighed with tears in her eyes: "Two hard-working children, it's really hard for them. β
Han Jingwen nodded sympathetically: Mingji can't live to be twenty-five years old, Jiu'er has been withered since childhood and suffers from cold poison every month, aren't they suffering from life?
Yun Fei left his seat, and the dragon shadow appeared, knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Weichen (subordinate) on behalf of the purple guard (dark guard) to thank the emperor Longen!" "After receiving the will of Emperor Huiwen, they will return to you.
Picking up the wine glass on the table, Qingyun smiled at Emperor Huiwen and said, "My sons and daughters wish my father a long life and good health, and my Jin country will last forever!" β
Everyone also stood up and raised their glasses.
"Good!" Emperor Huiwen's joy was beyond words, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Seeing Emperor Huiwen put down the wine glass, everyone drank the wine in their hands, and then sat down one after another.
Waving his hand at Leng Yi, Leng Yi immediately poured a full glass of wine for Emperor Huiwen, and Emperor Huiwen raised his glass to Chu Yunyi and the others: "Emperor Chu, Princess Wuyun, King Liang Sui and envoys from all over the world can come to our country to congratulate, I am very happy, and I would like to thank you for coming from thousands of miles away!" β
Chu Yunyi and other envoys from various countries raised their glasses one after another: "Emperor Jin is polite, I wish Emperor Jin a long life!" Seeing Emperor Huiwen drink the wine in his cup, the envoys all raised their glasses and drank it.
Emperor Huiwen glanced at Leng Yi, Leng Yi understood that he was about to arrange for the dancing girl to enter the arena to help the fun, when suddenly a sharp and frightened voice sounded, 'Ah......' almost penetrated everyone's eardrums, and suddenly everyone's faces changed suddenly: Who is so unruly that he shouted at the emperor's birthday banquet?
