"Today's father's birthday, the child specially prepared a picture of Yan Lao's landscape for his father, and a hand-inscribed congratulatory message, wishing his father a longevity than Nanshan and blessings like the East China Sea!" His voice is like a jewel, and he wears a robe when he speaks, which shows that he is more graceful.

"Good! Good! Good! Yan Lao actually wrote a congratulatory message for me personally, as well as the landscape painting, come and show it to me. The emperor was overjoyed, and obviously liked this gift very much.

Yan Yuanzi is the world's premier master of Chinese painting, his artistic attainments are often prohibitive, he is indifferent to fame and fortune, has long lived in seclusion and no longer asks about the world, and on weekdays he only writes and paints according to his own heart, burns after painting, buries after writing, and never keeps.

It's really rare to get a real picture of him.

This also shows how much effort Gu Shenyuan put into being able to do what he likes like and send gifts to the emperor's heart.

"This!" Wu Hou looked at the emperor's overjoyed appearance, and secretly hated being preempted by Gu Shenyuan, he had also prepared the original painting of Yan Lao for Gu Fengnian, but unfortunately even if he sent it again, it was just a follow-up, and there were no surprises.

Gu Fengnian listened to the reward that the great eunuch sang loudly to Gu Shenyuan, there was no wave on his face, his heart was already turbulent, and his resentment towards Gu Shenyuan was even higher, he comforted Wuhou and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson won't just lose." ”

Finally it was Gu Fengnian's turn, he was born cute at a young age, and he was very pleasing to everyone, holding a gift box and walking forward, and simply congratulated the emperor on his birthday: "The son presented a set of Yan Lao Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums to his father; Penglai Mobao is a pair, wishing his father a long life than the sky, and the sun and the moon will be brighter. ”

"Oh? Nian'er also prepared Yan Lao's calligraphy and paintings? "This is unusual, it is difficult to find a painting on weekdays, but today it is good, one send two copies," bring it to me. ”

The great eunuch presented the painting.

The emperor is quite fond of Yan Yuanzi's paintings, and has studied them, and compared the two compartments, he found that the two paintings are different in many places.

He knew it in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face, Gu Shenyuan's personality was well known, although he had heard of the Divine Tree incident and the language of the Chicken Head Gu, and many people had also privately proposed to remove him from the choice of the prince, but it would not be deceived in order to seek holy grace, it was very likely that he would be deceived this time, but such a trivial matter would also be deceived, and it was indeed time to consider the candidate for the prince.

Gu Fengnian is different, he can give such gifts at a young age, and the hardships are skipped, and this heart alone is rare.

"I like it very much, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into surprising me, and you should be rewarded!" The emperor signaled to the great eunuch, who understood, and immediately sang Gu Fengnian's reward.

"Thank you, Father." Gu Fengnian saw every expression of the emperor in his eyes, from surprise to confusion at the beginning, and finally it was clear that he knew that his goal had been achieved, and he thanked the reward and retreated.

Gu Shenyuan sat in his position and drank, his gestures were full of nobles, and his handsome eyebrows were stained with the aura of killing, but he hid it well, squinted at Gu Fengnian and Yang Wuhou, and raised his hand to drink the wine in the cup.

It looks like he's been put on the spot.

Later, the birthday greetings continued one after another, all of them were ordinary things, and there were no more waves, and the birthday came to an end without wind and waves, and the emperor whispered two sentences with the master of ceremonies.

Then I listened to the master of ceremonies singing: "After the birthday ceremony, the golden dragon banquet begins." ”

The Golden Dragon Banquet is a gourmet feast in which the emperor invites his ministers and royal relatives to raise a glass and drink together after the birthday celebration, and the birthday celebration performance is also held simultaneously.

Headed by the emperor, hundreds of civil and military officials and royal relatives all moved to the celebration hall.

They entered, led by the palace maid to sit down, have raised a glass to celebrate the emperor's ten thousand blessings, staggered, the celebration stage into the ten teams of children, a total of more than 200, all about 12 years old, they brocade jacket wide shirt, wearing a feather crown, hand dancing sword, and holding a brocade staff, holding a jade plate, across the carving arrow, everyone dressed up very pink, dressed as a state envoy to come to pay tribute.

Jiang Ruanyan watched it happily on the side of the stage, it was the first time she had seen this kind of interesting picture, it turned out that the emperor's birthday was so interesting, but it was more colorful than when she only sang a birthday song and ate a birthday cake.

Their show is the penultimate one, thanks to the blessing of the bear and the bear, and it became one of the finale shows.

Bingyue found a good place and stood on the roof of the palace facing the stage, with the cornices covering her figure, the best view of the audience. Nishizawa, on the other hand, is more miserable, and he has to be backstage at any time to prepare for stage accidents and repair Karakuri equipment.

As soon as Gu Shenyuan sat down, he saw Jiang Ruanyan who was watching with relish, he raised his eyebrows, he didn't know that she was also coming to participate in her birthday, and he didn't know what strange reason she had entered the palace this time.

"Crunch, crunch", a burst of footsteps came from the backstage, Nishizawa still had a hammer in his hand, he ran over and said a few words to Jiang Ruanyan hurriedly, and she pulled her legs and ran backstage.

When he arrived at the place where Xiong Daxiong Er was locked in the background, and saw the empty cage, Jiang Ruanyan grabbed Nishizawa beside him with both hands and shook it wildly: "Why did you run away?" ”

Nishizawa put the hammer behind him so as not to accidentally hurt him: "I guess I forgot to close the door after feeding them." Boss, let's go find it first, if they run to the main hall......"

"Let's go, by the way, Qin Yu?" She remembered that Qin Yu should stay with Xiong, after all, he would perform on stage for a while, and it was impossible to leave Xiong here alone.

"As soon as Brother Qin found out, he hurried to find it, and he also said that you must not alarm the Royal Forest Army, otherwise it is very likely that Xiong Da Xiong Er will be killed." Nishizawa explained.

Bingyue on the eaves saw that something was wrong, and landed in a hidden place lightly, and quickly followed them, and when she learned that Xiong Daxiong Er was gone, she immediately flew up to the eaves in a few jumps, ascending and looking into the distance!

The red walls in the backyard of the deep palace are high, and they are like ants inside, not only easy to get lost, but also easy to run into patrolling royal guards.

The wind and clouds rolled in a half-circle of the shadow of the sundial.

"Boss, come here, there's a Royal Guards patrolling over there." Nishizawa rushed to the opposite side of the road, Jiang Ruanyan, who was hiding behind the red wall, beckoned, the Royal Forest Army had just passed, and it was just right that he would not be discovered at this time.

Jiang Ruanyan saw the opportunity, took a step and ran this way, as soon as he arrived at Xize's side, the Imperial Forest Army turned around and was almost caught!

"It's so thrilling, hasn't Bingyue seen where they are on the roof?" She patted her small chest to relieve the tension, and then looked at the direction of the sundial, her eyes were a little anxious, "It's time for us to play in less than half an hour, what about Qin Yu?" Where is Qin Yu? ”

At this time, the ice moon gave them a signal from the eaves not far away: Found it!

"Quick, go to the Ice Moon." Jiang Ruanyan and Nishizawa bowed their bodies, bypassed the Imperial Forest Army, and ran over from the trail, and were so frightened that they almost died on the spot when they saw that scene.

Xiong Daxiong Er didn't know when he ran to the side of the celebration hall, and there was a curtain around the side of the main hall, where the princes and nobles and civil and military officials sat inside, and the upper seat was the emperor and the concubines, and the opposite side was the stage for the performance.

At this time, Xiong Dazheng stretched out his fluffy paws from the gap in the middle of the curtain and quietly took a banana from the dining table! Xiong Er sat on the ground with his back to the curtain and ate the fruit he had gotten earlier, eating with relish.

"What about Qin Yu? What about Qin Yu! Jiang Ruanyan took a deep breath to calm herself down, she asked Nishizawa to find Xiong Er, while Bingyue and herself tried to lure Xiong Da Xiong Er away from here, so as not to disturb the royal family.

Qin Yu rushed over from another entrance, and saw that the bear's big head was about to come out of the curtain, and his heart was in his throat, obviously the cage should be closed, how could such a big basket come out?

At this time, Gu Fengnian opened his big round eyes, held a glass of milk wine, and looked intently at the gap in the curtain on the opposite side, which was hanging on the head of Xia Zhiran, the daughter of the soldier of the army, the distance was getting shorter and shorter, and the sharp claws on his palm reflected the sunlight.

Catch it!

He cried out in his heart.

Deliberately let Lin Ji find the bear cage, release the two bears, and then lure them to the main hall, in order to make a fuss, the brown bear is a creature, no matter how docile it is on the surface, it is just an appearance, just give a stimulus, it will inevitably expose the brutal nature.

Lin Wei, who was hiding in the shadows, received Gu Fengnian's signal, flipped his wrist, and the hidden weapon shot out of his hand, directly approaching Xiong Da's bear paw hanging above Xia Zhiran's head.

Bingyue stood next to the curtain, closest to the two bears, she was the first to discover this hidden weapon, and habitually touched the sword, only to find that it had already been taken away when she entered the palace, so she had to take out a piece of broken silver from her arms and throw it out.

Lin Ji's wrist strength was strong, and he smashed the broken silver from the middle, scattering countless particles and falling to the ground, and the hidden weapon also fell in response.

Jiang Ruanyan noticed the movement here, looked in Lin Ji's direction, and asked Bingyue, "Who is it?" ”

"It's a bit familiar, I'm not sure if it's him for the time being." Bingyue looked up at the sky and reminded Jiang Ruanyan, "Boss, it's time for us to play." ”

Qin Yu coaxed Xiong Er, and Nishizawa used Karakuri to take advantage of Xiong Er's inattention, caught it, and led it to the backstage, while Xiong Da was still fighting against the honey fruit that he hadn't gotten.

Xia Zhiran, who was taking a small bite to eat, felt that something was wrong around him, thinking that the maid next to him accidentally touched him, so he didn't care after saying a few words.

Her maid went to help get food just now, so she walked to her side and cooked vegetables for her, and listened to her babble a few words and asked, "Miss, what did you say, the maid just went to help you get hibiscus cake." ”

Xia Zhiran was stunned for a moment, looked back over there, only to see the slightly trembling curtain, she raised her hand and lifted it, and the back was empty.

"Whew, a false alarm, hurry, hurry up and get ready to perform on stage." Jiang Ruanyan pulled Qin Yu, "Brother Qin, come on, come on!" Today's success or failure is up to you! ”

It was also the first time for Qin Yu to carry such big expectations, his face was heavy, and he took Xiong Da Xiong Er on the field with great righteousness and awe.

Xu is Xiong Daxiong Er has already eaten and drunk enough, they seem docile and obedient, and obediently follow Qin Yu to the stage.

As soon as they showed up, there was a commotion in the field, and many people got up from their seats after exclaiming, especially those close to the stands.

The whole scene was awkward.

"Stop!" The emperor stopped drinking, and when he saw that the courtiers were messed up into a pot of porridge because of the two bears, he felt disgraced, "The master of ceremonies has reported to me, these are well-trained two-headed bears, and Zhong Aiqing doesn't need to panic." ”

Seeing that the few who were closer were still panicking, the emperor ordered their seats to be moved back a few meters to maintain a safe area, which stabilized everyone's emotions.

Remember the royal pet: the permanent address of His Highness in those years
