Chapter 18: The Man in the Painting

"In the past few years, every time I saw the prince, I arrived very early, but this time I happened to press the point, which is really rare." Helian said with a calm smile.

Yuran answered: "I have traveled abroad this year, and when I came back, I felt that I didn't know this palace, so I went around and wanted to see the old and new. It is the sin of the sons to make the father and the king wait for a long time. As she spoke, she bowed in style.

"Father, I can't blame Brother Yu for this, I'm going to take Brother Yu around." Helian Feng hurriedly added.

Yu Ran glared at him, lifted the folding fan in his right hand and tapped his forehead unceremoniously.

Helian Feng changed his words: "I'm just going to pick up Brother Yu!" ”

"Xiao Wu is so childish, only the prince can cure it." Helian Qing felt amused, and the next moment he pointed to the position not far from him and said, "Prince, just sit here." ”

Yu Ran raised his eyes and smiled and said, "Father, the sons and daughters can accompany the princess, and the sons and daughters' friends can sit under the table." Little Wu, you sit there and accompany your father. ”

After finishing speaking, Yu Ran really took Rong Xi and Shao Yulan to pick a seat not far away and sat down.

In front of everyone's eyes, calm and calm.

Being able to sit next to Ning Jun was a supreme honor for the courtiers and princes of Ning Kingdom.

But Yuran easily said a word, and sent away this dazzling position, which made people quite puzzled. But when people think about it secretly, they also have a cold sweat in their hearts. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would not have the courage to shirk it so casually.

Helian Qing will not be angry with Yuran, and he will not be angry with the crown prince Helian Yu.

Because Yuran regarded Helian Qing as his friend, more than he regarded him as his father. A Helian Jun is enough. A father, that's enough.

"I heard that the prince mentioned Rong Gongzi's crown jade elegance, and when I saw it today, it was really the case." Helian Qing really didn't have the slightest fluctuation, but raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile.

Rong Xi also raised his eyes that were not waveless, and he smiled on his lips, feeling free and easy. He said: "Rong Xi thanked you. ”

Rong Xi is the fourth highness of Huaguo.

Huaguo is the largest country in the territory of the four countries today, and it is also the most powerful country that should not be underestimated.

Hua Guo intended to attack Ningguo, but failed to return, and now the form of Hua Guo and Ning Guo is very bad.

Helian Qing knew that Rong Xi was the fourth highness of Huaguo, but he did not kill him. Helian Feng knew that Rong Xi was the fourth highness of Huaguo, but he was not afraid of him.

All this started from beginning to end, and that person was lifting the wine glass with his left hand at the moment, and with a wave of his right hand long sleeve in front of his left hand, he drank the wine in one gulp, and did not forget to praise Shao Yulan who was sitting next to him for a good wine.

So indifferent, so comfortable. is not pretentious, and does not reveal the slightest woman's appearance, the prince's graceful demeanor seems to be clearly placed there.

Helian Qing's gaze stayed on Yu Ran's body for a moment, and then moved away, and he couldn't help but smile and take a sip of wine.

Only people like Yuran have the courage and guts to deceive the people around them.

The banquet began for a while, singing and dancing, and everything was good.

This birthday banquet is not only to celebrate Helian Qing's birthday, but also because of the gradual strength of Ningguo.

Ming Xu disappeared, Ning Guo surpassed Shang State, and the territory expanded too much compared to before, and no one did not feel that these should not be celebrated.

Because they are all courtiers of Ningguo and are from Ningguo. As long as Ningguo is stable and Ningguo is strong, then their position can be more stable, their lives can be easier, and they don't have to worry about the country's ruin all day long.

"Your Highness, are we going to leave the table early today?" Shao Yulan asked softly.

Yuran raised her eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile: "Do you think I can leave today?" ”

"This ......" Shao Yulan hesitantly glanced at the many eyes around her, and finally said helplessly: "Your Highness has not returned for nearly a year, and I really can't leave today." ”

"It just so happens that I'm going to find my father later, if you find it boring, you can go back to the mansion to rest first." Yu Ran said with a smile.

When Shao Yulan heard this, she crossed over to the jade dye and glanced at Rong Xian, who was sitting on the right side of the jade dye, "What about Rong Gongzi?" ”

"Him?" Yuran also glanced at Rong Xian, she supported her chin with one hand, and rested her elbow on the table, "He has to stay." ”

Rong Xi pinched the jade cup in one hand, looking gentle, and said with a silent smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince's original intention was to ask Rong Zheng to be a shield for you?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yuran raised her eyes, "Since you have talent, then I naturally can't use it, it's called waste." If you know everything, then you will answer and do everything, so that I can rest assured. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really believes in Rong Xi so much." Rong Xi smiled.

"That princess said a word to me." Yu Ran said with an eyebrow.

Rong Xi said calmly: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

"She said that Your Highness Murong, you are a difficult person to understand, but you must also be a useful person. For this sentence - I am convinced. Tamarin smiled.

Rong Xi was silent for a moment, and a pair of dark eyes stayed on Yuran's face, "Thank you for your Highness's trust." ”

At the banquet, it was nothing more than the mutual politeness between the ministers and the king.

The politeness is over, and it's time to end it.

Helian Qing's departure took a lot of people with him, but many people continued to stay. Because today is the most common time for all the princes and nobles, it is an opportunity that many courtiers cannot miss.

Shao Yulan went back with the attendants first, while Yuran and Rong Xi were still sitting firmly in their seats.

But that's the case, so that the people around him didn't dare to lean over directly.

It wasn't until a figure suddenly scurried to Yuran's side that it broke the strange atmosphere.

"Brother Yu, aren't you leaving?" Helian Feng seemed to have been shaking around before coming back.

"The wine is not finished yet, so there is no hurry." Yu Ran said with a smile.

Helian Feng grinned, and when he heard this, he stood happily in front of Yuran's table, holding a roll of objects in his hand, and then spread it out in front of Yuran.

On the paper is a painting, on which is a landscape, a very beautiful landscape.

But this very beautiful scenery does not belong to Ningguo.

This scenery is very familiar with Yuran, because it was the most beautiful scenery in the Mingxu Imperial Palace, the water and mountains, which can only be seen from one place.

With the frame as the window and the painting as the eye, the painting is very good.

It's just too good to be true.

Many of the courtiers who had not left around also came over at this moment, and they were amazed at a glance at this painting, which was not surprising.

"Brother Yu, is this painting beautiful?" Helian Feng looked at Yu Ran's expression and asked carefully.

Yu Ran's fingertips pinched the scroll, his eyes moved slightly, and after a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Helian Feng, "Where did this painting come from?" ”

"Brother Yu, this was painted by an Anguo painter a few days ago, because he was seen, this painting came to his father again, and his father liked it very much, so he called the painter into the palace. I also liked this painting, so I asked my father for it. Helian Feng hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Yu doesn't like it?" I think this painting is as gorgeous as Brother Yu said, so I want to give it to Brother Yu. ”

Tamarin didn't respond, but his expression was smiling. She raised her eyebrows, and there was indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Rong Xun also glanced at it, but there was a little strangeness in his dark eyes, and he said something after a while, which was also what Yu Ran wanted to say.

"It was the man in the painting."
