The king of the West ordered his retinue to offer gifts, but it was a living eagle with a black body. The attendant grabbed the eagle's foot and removed the blindfold, and the eagle's eyes were sharp and looked around, as if he was ready to attack at any moment.

Although the Empress was prepared for the peculiarities of the gift, there was a hint of aversion on her face at the sight of the eagle. Han Jian noticed a slight change in the empress's complexion.

Han Jian thought to himself, the empress is also a woman, and the king of the west giving such a gift is inevitably provocative. He remembered that when he used cockroaches to play tricks on girls, nine out of ten female classmates were afraid of these things that would run.

The empress's face was still calm and said: "The heart of the king of the west, I understand the heart." Father-in-law Lu, let's take the gift on my behalf. ”

"Huh?" When Lu Shaokun saw the live eagle, he already looked frightened, but the empress asked him to go up to receive the gift, how dare he step forward.

After all, Lu Shaokun was used to the scene, he hurriedly called two guards in, grabbed the eagle and withdrew from the hall, and then returned to stand behind the empress with a palpitating look.

Han Jian had a smug expression on his face after presenting the gift from the King of the West, and he felt that the King of the West had no good intentions. The heart said, could it be that this old guy is used to being the emperor of the soil and wants to usurp the real emperor?

As the episode of the gift of the king of the west ends, it is followed by the gift of the king of the south. The gift that Nanwang took out this time was nothing special, it was a jade Ruyi carved from green jade. This time, without the empress's orders, Lu Shaokun had already stepped forward and presented Yu Ruyi to everyone.

The empress finally smiled slightly: "Nanyu is warm, Nanwang has a heart." ”

Immediately, the empress asked the attendant eunuch to take down the jade Ruyi, and finally everyone looked at Han Jian, the king of Xiaodong, and even the empress looked at him with a smile.

Han Jian felt that there was a bit of cunning in the empress's smile, and it seemed that he had not brought a gift.

Han Jian stood up, respectfully bowed to the empress, and said in a slightly branched tone: "Your Majesty, the minister came from afar, and when I saw His Majesty for the first time, I was impressed by His Majesty's demeanor...... I forgot to bring a gift. ”

Han Jian didn't speak quickly, and what he said seemed to be very pertinent, but after he finished speaking, it was felt that he was looking for excuses. Obviously, he forgot to bring a gift to see the emperor in the back, but he reversed his priorities, saying that it seemed that the reason for not bringing a gift was all due to the empress's fault.

Thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, Han Jian said this, it seemed to be very useful to the empress, the empress smiled and nodded, and issued "Oh! "A bang.

Just forgiven? Those present began to feel a little resentful.

Han Jian immediately added: "Dan Chen, I have prepared a special gift for His Majesty Xià......"

The empress frowned slightly, slightly surprised, and asked, "What kind of gift?" ”

Han Jian replied: "The minister wants to change the gift to the dedication, for the sake of music." ”

The empress was originally puzzled, but when she heard Han Jian's words, the expression on her face seemed to be relieved, she nodded, and her eyes began to look around the audience. After looking around, she didn't seem to find the person she was looking for.

"Hedong Mingxue, Pan Fuzi can be there?" The Empress suddenly said aloud.

"Grass People...... At! A voice came from the corner, and then the figure of Pan Fuzi hurried out and knelt on the ground.

This time the palace held a banquet, Pan Fuzi was not qualified to attend, according to the rules, he could only submit an application, whether he could pass Guò depends on the reply from the Ministry of Rites. He also submitted an application, hoping to increase his value by attending the palace banquet through guò, but the list was announced a few days ago, and he did not have a share.

Originally, he wanted to go back to Hedong, but because of Cuiyanglou's troubles, he wanted to continue to do public relations in Luoyang to save his image. He didn't expect that three hours before the banquet, he actually received a notice that he had been added to the list of invitees to the banquet in the palace.

Originally, Pan Fuzi hated Han Jian to the core, because Han Jian discredited him, and also caused the reputation of the Hedong School to plummet. Seeing Han Jian today, his anger could not be dissipated. But before, when he saw Han Jian come out to question Zhu Tongjing, Pan Fuzi knew that the other party was actually Xiaodong Wang. He was disheartened for a while, knowing that he couldn't care anymore, who called someone a powerful person?

When he was thinking about returning to Hedong earlier and living in seclusion from now on, the empress's voice calling him came out, and Pan Fuzi was too busy to come out. Even the empress knew his name and appointed him out, and Pan Fuzi was flattered.

The empress said: "Mr. Pan is a famous scholar in Hedong, educating countless people, full of peaches and plums, and I have heard about it earlier. ”

Pan Fuzi was overjoyed in his heart, and the tone of his reply changed: "Caomin...... Don't dare to be. ”

"As a teacher, why don't you dare to be a teacher?" The empress said, "I heard again that the day before yesterday, you and the prince of the East had a misunderstanding in Cuiyang Tower. Is there such a thing? ”

Pan Fuzi didn't know how to reply for a while, he didn't expect that this matter was so big that even the emperor knew about it.

Not only did Pan Fuzi feel surprised, but even Han Jian didn't expect it, looking at the empress's expression, it was obvious that she had been prepared. He also thought, is it so coincidental that he can meet the plague star of Pan Fuzi, and the relationship is also arranged?

The empress didn't wait for Pan Fuzi to answer, and continued: "Since the prince of the East is going to make music, then you might as well play a song together, and it should be a release of the previous suspicions. Is that good? ”

"Grass People...... The grass people ...... "Pan Fuzi's words are still not clear.

The empress raised her hand and said, "Come on, take out Pan Fuzi's qin." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Shaokun hurriedly instructed the two eunuchs to go outside and move the piano back, and then moved a desk to Pan Fuzi and put the piano on it.

As soon as Han Jian saw that the qin was a restored Jiao Liuqin, he suddenly felt in his heart that his feelings had been arranged a long time ago.

Han Jian felt very angry when he was on the move, and thought to himself: "It must be Sanniang who sued the empress, and then the empress sent someone to arrange it." I won't mention the pleasure, but the Empress will say it. No wonder Sanniang asked me if I brought a harmonica when I was leaving. ”

Han Jianden felt uncomfortable being tricked.

In the end, the empress looked at Han Jian with a smile and said, "Prince of the East Wang, you can start to have fun." ”

Han Jian still had a smile on his face, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister forgot to bring a musical instrument." ”

"Oh?"

The empress frowned again, thinking to herself, could it be that this kid was making a mistake and didn't want to perform in public?

The empress continued: "The prince of the East Wang, what kind of musical instruments do you need, there should be all of them in the palace. ”

"The musical instruments used by the ministers are not in the palace." Han Jian saluted again.

Han Jian's words were a bit choking, and everyone present felt that what Han Jian said was a bit excessive, even if he didn't, he couldn't say it in front of the empress, as if he couldn't get off the stage.

Lu Shaokun hurriedly reminded: "His Royal Highness King Xiaodong, you can quickly say what musical instrument you want, forget to bring it, so send someone to the mansion to pick it up." ”

Han Jian smiled again, but turned around to look at Yang Li'er, who was looking up at him like everyone else, and stepped forward and said, "Can I borrow Miss Yang Er's stringless piano?" ”

Han Jian's words caused an uproar in the audience.

Xiaodong Wang wanted to make music, but he didn't bring a musical instrument, and the musical instrument actually had to be borrowed from the second lady of Nanwangfu? The second lady of Nanwangfu prepared a musical instrument for him to borrow?

What is the relationship between the two?

Even Yang Luochuan, the king of the South, and Yang Yu, the son of the king of the South, all looked at Yang Li'er, as father and brother, they didn't know what happened between Yang Li'er and Han Jian.

Yang Li'er suddenly became the target of public criticism, and she was a little embarrassed, but she still took out the harmonica that Han Jian gave her from her arms. She couldn't figure out how this person knew she would bring a harmonica with her?

"Thank you, Miss Yang Er." Han Jian took the harmonica with a smile and looked up at the empress again.

The empress showed an unfathomable smile to Han Jian, and didn't ask him about his relationship with Yang Li'er, and asked directly: "Can the prince of the East King have fun?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian took the harmonica and turned to look at Pan Fuzi, who was kneeling in front of Jiao Liuqin very unnaturally, "Master, I will try to cooperate with you in the next meeting!" ”

Pan Fuzi was dripping with cold sweat on his head, and he was originally happy in front of the emperor and hundreds of officials in the palace, which was a blessing that he had cultivated for several lifetimes. But he also understands that what he plays and what Han Jian plays are completely different things. If it doesn't match, how can it be cooperated? And Han Jian's "try to cooperate" is completely adding pressure to him.

"Everyone, if you don't have good piano skills, you're here to make a fool of yourself!" Han Jian said humbly.

When Pan Fuzi heard this, he felt even more pressure on his body, and seeing that Han Jian had already put the harmonica to his mouth, he tried his best to recall the harmonica music he heard in Cuiyang Tower two days ago, and he hoped that he could use his decades of experience in qin music to mix up today's music.

But as soon as Han Jian blew the harmonica, Pan Fuzi immediately "chuckled" in his heart. Han Jian didn't play the song that day, but it was a melodious tune that Pan Fuzi had never heard.
