Chapter 19: Talking
The two were quite surprised by each other, and Jiang Yunhe felt that Fu Qianqiu was a real man.
is accustomed to seeing the fine skin and tender meat in the capital, and when he sees Fu Qianqiu, he is simply a model of a man.
Fu Qianqiu also felt that the women in the capital would only gossip, after all, most of them were powerful and powerful, and they didn't need to think about other things. Jiang Yunhe is elegant and frank.
There is no excessive shyness like a woman, how shy a woman is, but if she is too reserved, it will be boring.
Both made a good impression on each other.
Jiang Yunhe counted the hours for a while, and felt that she had been away for a long time, and if she didn't go back, she was afraid of worrying, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Fu Qianqiu and hurried to the banquet.
She came back at the right time, and in the middle of the annual banquet, she asked the families to give gifts.
And the queen mother's rule is to give gifts first with lower official positions, after all, those small officials' gifts will not be particularly valuable, if those high-ranking people are allowed to give gifts first, it is all some rare treasures, which will cause the back to look ugly.
At this time, those with lower official positions have basically finished giving gifts, and it is the turn of important officials in the court to start giving gifts.
Zhang Minzhi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, gave a pair of jade jade, and a golden unicorn beast.
Tong Huaiyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, gave gifts to the glass cup and a glass phoenix.
Song Fengchun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, gave a gift of a Tibetan scripture and a guqin.
The servant of the ministry is really punished, a pair of nephrite jade borders and two pairs of ancient sandalwood pillows.
……
……
……
The gifts are good, and there is no price in the whole of Upper Kyoto, and these people are really powerful, and I don't know where to find so many treasures.
One of these gifts alone is enough for an official to pay for a year.
Jiang Yunhe had only heard of these things in the past, but she had not seen them, and she was looking forward to the annual gift-giving session, and she could always see some long-lost treasures.
Poor and extravagant, this is the life of the royal family.
She remembered that the antiques and jewels in the Prime Minister's Mansion were also given by some lower-level officials, and as long as they could be bought on the market, they had them in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
What is valuable is that these priceless things cannot be bought at all, and some things can only be seen once in a hundred years, such as the fluorescent shirt in the box, which is usually not seen at all.
The box is hollowed out, separated by silver film, and lined with glass, so that you can see what it looks like inside, but this treasure can't be taken out at all, only appreciable and not touchable.
Jiang Yunhe looked at these gifts intently, and she secretly applauded in her heart every time she presented them.
I can't wait to come forward immediately to take a closer look at the appearance of these treasures, these treasures focus on details, and they can't be seen clearly if they don't get closer.
The slightest deviation from the intricately carved pattern can ruin a work of art.
How many craftsmen have to work day and night for generations to make a unique treasure, and these things are just the daily decoration of the royal family.
Ming Luo was not interested in these things, she was bored and fiddled with her fingers, secretly looking at the internal strength of the officials, there are not many who know martial arts.
It stands to reason that it should be King Duan's turn to give gifts next, but the prince stood up at this time and said:
"Imperial grandmother, there is a treasure here in the minister, grandma must like it, it is better to have the minister present it first!"
The crown prince is not favored in the palace, and has always been low-key, of course, except for concubines, the prince is basically a person with no sense of existence.
Today is strange, taking the initiative to offer treasure in front of everyone, it seems that the prince really has good things.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor will naturally not lose face at this time, and they are also happy.
Somehow, the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and said to the prince:
"Qiancheng, then you can present the gift."
Qiancheng is really a good name, the future is bright, all the princes of the Fu family in the world are thousand-character generations, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince uses Qianzi.
The prince looks honest and honest, and he looks good, but he is a big carrot inside.
"Father, this ceremony is extraordinary, and the retainer needs a horse."
Everyone is wondering, what does the prince mean? Isn't it nonsense to bring horses to this banquet, what kind of gift people can't watch yet, and they need to send a horse.
The emperor frowned slightly, he thought that the crown prince was going to give some good gift, but he didn't expect to make such a request.
"Prince, since you need a horse, why don't you just give your imperial grandmother a horse?"
"Father, the gift of the son is any horse."
The emperor frowned, not knowing what his eldest son was going to do, but he still ordered to go down and prepare the best sweat and blood horse.
But the prince stopped him, "Just go and lead the oldest and slowest horse in the stable." ”
The curiosity of the people was aroused at once, as the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and now it is what it means to lead the worst horse.
Soon someone brought in a horse.
The horse was old-eyed, shaggy and dirty, and looked like he had run out of oil.
The horse was led by a man and did not want to walk, so two more people pushed the horse from behind, but the horse collapsed to the ground after two pushes as if he could not walk.
Jiang Yunhe was shocked, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and if there is such a trouble, I am afraid that the prince will be punished after the banquet.
The Queen Mother's face was already silent, as if she was going to order someone to drag the horse out and behead it in the next second.
The prince still looks confident.
Everyone began to sweat for him, and he looked like he was fine.
Unless the horse comes back to life now, no matter how good the gift the prince is, it will be difficult to make up for his mistakes.
At this time, the prince took out a soft whip from his bosom, gray and dull in color, and it was the most ordinary whip.
I saw him step by step into the fallen horse, and whipped it the horse's tail.
There was no movement.
The horse did not react at all.
No, the prince was also panicked, it shouldn't be like this.
At this time, the horse slowly stood up, looking energetic, and the hair on its body began to become soft, and its eyes began to brighten, and it reappeared with vitality.
The crowd applauded.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's gift is really wonderful, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life."
It was Jiang Feng who spoke, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng.
The prince is rarely praised by others, and now that he has shown such a show on the field, he is a little complacent, and he happily said to the prime minister:
"And that's not the most surprising thing, now this horse has become a rare horse in a century."
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, where could there be such a magical thing, he could turn into a thousand miles with just a whip, and the prince might have been deceived.
It is also said that now these strange men only want to make money, but don't wait for the prince to make a joke and it will not end well.
"I really haven't heard of that, but today is a banquet, and it's a pity that I can't see the demeanor of Maxima."
Jiang Feng's meaning is obvious, that is, to send this horse away quickly, the effect of resurrecting the dead just now is enough to show the dignity of the prince's gift, but if something goes wrong later, it will be a crime of bullying the king.
