Chapter 259: A Different Kind of Interest
Zhu Qiming led the two sisters of Lu Xiyu into the treasure room, and when they looked up, the first thing that caught their eyes was three exquisite porcelain.
Lu Xiyu stopped and watched for a moment, then shook his head again and again, "Such a treasure is placed here in you, you deserve to be greatly wronged!" โ
I stepped forward to fiddle with it, reclassified the porcelain, and returned to the same place to look at the porcelain, and suddenly felt that they had a good charm.
"What's the point here?" Zhu Qiming was puzzled.
Lu Xiyu slowly moved his body and started to be a little gentleman in time. "Emperor Taizu Hongwu devoted himself to the Red Turban Army in his early years, and later became attached to red several times, so he preferred red porcelain, and there is a saying in the world that 'Hongwu Guihong'. Those glazed red porcelain are all from the Hongwu period, and you scatter them everywhere, which is called messy! โ
Zhu Qiming took a closer look and found that the glaze red porcelain that was grouped together by Lu Xiyu had the same style, a glaze red twig pattern long vase, two courtyard pine, bamboo and plum glaze red vases, several glaze red chrysanthemum pattern diamond mouth plates, plus a circle of glaze red twig pattern bowls, which were placed there in a staggered manner, which seemed to be very matched.
"Fortunately, my sister knows the goods."
Lu Xiyu seems to have a strong interest in porcelain, her figure is extremely relaxed, and her eyebrows and eyes naturally reveal the innocence of her daughter's family.
"These glaze reds are very difficult to fire, and they must come from the official kiln in Jingdezhen. There is a folk saying that 'burning red glaze, ten kilns and nine will not succeed'. Lu Xiyu approached Zhu Qiming's side, and a burst of intoxicating fragrance came to his nose, and Zhu Qiming suddenly lost his mind.
"Look at those white porcelains again, they are all from the Yongle period, and the Yongle Emperor prefers sweet white glaze."
Zhu Qiming was stunned. His mind flashed the figures of Lu Xiyu in different periods, from the little jade girl with fluttering eyelashes in the colorful building of the light market, to the water hibiscus in the small pond of the courtyard, and then to the ice beauty in the snow not long ago, and in his mind, the Lu Xiyu in front of him was clearly the heroine of Yuefu!
"Brother Yue Wang." Lu Ziyin gently shook Zhu Qiming's arm and called out with a smile.
Zhu Qiming came back to his senses, followed Lu Xiyu's gaze, and suddenly found that those white porcelain, which he always ignored on weekdays, had become so dazzling at this moment after Lu Xiyu's skillful classification!
The white glazed porcelain of the Yongle period is called "sweet white glaze", and the Yongle Dynasty is an important historical period with milestone significance in the history of the development of Chinese white porcelain. The sweet white glaze is refined from pure glaze stone, without glaze ash, and the whiteness is higher than that of the previous white glaze, which got rid of the strange circle of the previous generation always swirling between egg white and blue white, and fired white glazed porcelain in the real sense. Its glaze color is smooth and smooth, delicate and clean, which can make people have a wonderful synaesthesia from vision to taste, and the viewer seems to be tasting the smooth and sweet white sugar, which may be the origin of the elegant name "sweet white glaze".
Lu Xiyu picked up a large bowl with white glaze and dark flowers, and looked at the light, the pattern of the dark cloth on the bowl was faintly revealed.
Putting down the white bowl, Lu Xiyu pointed to another row of wooden shelves, "That's the blue and white porcelain in the Xuande period." โ
"Brother Yue Wang, let's go."
Lu Ziyin obviously had no interest in porcelain, and perhaps felt that he had stayed here too long, so he shook Zhu Qiming's arm lightly and urged him to move.
Zhu Qiming is different, as long as he stays with Lu Xiyu, even if he talks about some trivial matters, he feels that it is full of fun.
"Let's go." Lu Xiyu flicked her sister's head and said softly to Zhu Qiming.
The three of them walked a few steps, and saw a dazzling array of treasures filled several rows of wooden shelves, four chairs were placed in the open space in the middle, and a round case was placed on the case, on which was the blood jade shan presented by the king of the year. Lu Ziyin was attracted by the slightly fantastical color, let go of Zhu Qiming's hand, glanced at Blood Yushan curiously, and then walked to the wooden frame and carefully browsed the various treasures. Lu Xiyu looked indifferent.
An old lady walked in, "Your Highness, do you want to leave Miss Lu and them for lunch?" โ
"Of course you have to stay."
Lu Xiyu was noncommittal about whether she agreed to stay for lunch, and it wasn't until after Mama left that she asked an irrelevant question: "Eh, don't you even have a maid by your side?" โ
"Alas, don't mention it!" Zhu Qiming invited Lu Xiyu to sit at the side of the case, "The other princes are all as beautiful as clouds, but I am the only one who lives with two old grandmothers all day long, which one looks like a prince?" โ
Lu Xiyu sneered, and then said angrily: "Beauty like a cloud? Who cares about you! โ
Looking at the shy Lu Xiyu in front of him, Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered that she was about to enter the palace to test her piano skills, "Sister, that Li Yingji is outstanding in knowledge and talent, except for you, the women of the Ming official eunuch family are afraid that no one can beat her anymore." โ
Lu Xiyu stared, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "The queen didn't make her words clear, I don't quite understand the reason for this competition." Eh, I heard that Lee Young-hee was saved by you, what is her intention in doing this? โ
Zhu Qiming smiled, "Don't you think she is fulfilling you?" โ
Lu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and turned his head slightly.
"You don't have to think about it, just listen to the queen's orders, it's just a competition, although it is a matter of the face of the country, but in terms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, who among the women in the world can win you?"
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
In the Xianxi Palace, the Queen Mother sat upright, her face was not very good. The queen and Princess Changde stood beside her.
"Queen Mother, you also know that the woman that King Yue likes is Lu Xiyu! The Empress Dowager entrusted King Yue to you during her lifetime, why should you make him uncomfortable? โ
The Queen Mother frowned, "What do you know?" โ
The queen bowed and said: "Please forgive the queen mother for her concubines, the so-called easy time shift, if the king of Yue was not invaded by evil poison, most of them would stay in Beijing for several years, and now the king of Yue has become an adult, and he is about to go to the domain, so he has thoughts at that time, and there are plans at this time, the key is to take the opportunity to meet the time." โ
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at the Queen, her eyes were a little strange. The queen's words were extremely vague, but they still revealed the queen mother's hidden thoughts: to choose a concubine for her nephew, in addition to seven points of family affection, there are still three points of private thoughts! The Queen Mother was in a trance, didn't she really need to secretly plan for the control of an extraordinary prince at the moment?
let the queen see through her scheming, and the queen mother couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.
Princess Changde held the queen mother's seat, "You don't think about King Yue, you should always think about Sheji, right?" At present, there are many things in the society, and the face of the country can no longer be damaged! โ
"If you don't believe it, there are so many women in the family, and none of them can beat that Li Yingji!" The Queen Mother said angrily.
Princess Changde accompanied her smiling face, "Queen Mother, instead of letting other women become candidates for Princess Yue, it is better to give Lu Xiyu a name, anyway, they are not your favorite candidates, why bother to go far?" Besides, if you are prepared, as long as Lu Xiyu is present, she will never be allowed to come forward to compete, and she will never damage the face of the kingdom! โ
