Chapter 248: Do You Dare to Fool the Son of Heaven?
From the overcrowded room, suddenly a way came out, in the middle was a woman, dressed in full costume, fiery red color, complicated skirts folded, inlaid with pearls and jade, waist tied, wide-sleeved robe, and a short cloak on the top, some slim long skirts, outlining an excellent figure, even if it was just and time, but it was difficult to hide the future glory.
Naka's dress was not as good as the previous men's clothes, and as soon as he appeared, he captured the hearts of many men, and even Ling Yu'an, standing very far away, but his eyes were fixed on the woman who was surrounded in the middle, but his eyes were gloomy.
Bai Yulan was on the side, being an outsider, but he could see the sadness of this pair of beautiful people, and on the other hand, he regretted it, and couldn't help sighing: "Being in the high wall, the heart is outside the peach source." ”
"Outside of Taoyuan, what about it? Unless you can leave behind these fame, fortune, power and wealth, how many people in this world can do it? Ling Yukong said coolly on the side.
Bai Yulan didn't bother to pay attention to him, but what he said was indeed the truth, and if she was asked to give up all her wealth, she wouldn't be able to do it.
As soon as Naka appeared, this caused a sensation, she walked directly to the middle of the line, and there were even two children behind her holding the long trail, she sat at the highest place, she could see everyone below, and there were three empty seats next to her, as for the scene of Naka's selection of chamberlains, it was natural that the emperor who loved Naka to the bones, and Naka's grandmother, the two seats naturally belonged to those two.
When Naka came out, the emperor also helped the queen mother out, the queen mother was on a dragon's head cane, looking particularly kind, and Naka also obediently went to help the queen mother to the seat, this scene of father and son filial piety is very different from the countries next to it, at least Bai Yulan has never seen such a thing from the history books.
But after the three of them sat down, the last seat was still empty, and the queen seemed to have something important to do, and would participate in her daughter's banquet in the future.
"I respectfully invite the National Teacher to come and participate in the banquet of His Royal Highness." Naka suddenly spoke, his clear and cold voice had already retreated from the enthusiasm and excitement of the previous few days, and he seemed indifferent, although he was a little calm, but he was a little childish.
But as soon as her voice fell, a man like a fairy seemed to be stepping on the clouds, with his sleeves folded, the jade crown was high, and his half-scattered ink hair was flying, wearing the mask of Bai Ze's divine beast, but revealing the clear but seductive eyes in it, and the sleeves of his robe flew like falling into the mortal world, descending from the sky and falling straight on the high platform.
Among the people, they seemed to be extremely excited, and they were much more excited than when they saw the emperor.
"Your Excellency!" The crowd chanted.
And the emperor turned a blind eye, Bai Yulan couldn't help but feel a little weak-hearted, always felt that Ye Mingting had deceived these people, and besides, the religious consciousness of these people was too strong, didn't this emperor centralize power? Let the 'national teacher' win the hearts of the people like this?
"Now that everyone is here, Your Highness will begin." Ye Mingting said lightly.
Although Bai Yulan, who was in the audience, couldn't see the expression under his mask, he could think that when he said this on weekdays, he must have smiled with some uncertainty.
"Now that the National Teacher has also arrived, then all the people below who are going to come to the election, who have passed the first round of interviews, will all come here and draw the most beautiful picture in your opinion." Naka commanded.
As soon as the words came out, the rest of the people were enthusiastic, they came here, some came for the beauty of the princess, and some were powerful, but among the sons of the family, there must be no eldest son of everyone who will be the chamberlain, yes, Ling Yu'an did not participate in the election, and Li Huilan's original intention was to let him do it, so he would be the next male queen, and it was not her intention to participate in the election.
If it weren't for the one that came out a few days ago, it is estimated that with Naka's temperament, the selection of the chamberlain after this and the end of the war would have been delayed for as long as possible, or it would have been dragged directly until marriage, so there would be no need to choose.
The selected sons were either writing hard or splashing ink into paintings, but there was only one person who attracted Bai Yulan's attention, because this person was slow and reasonable, standing there, he didn't see a few wolf strokes.
The guests who came, all of them had a seat at the bottom, Ling Yukong was also quite popular, naturally it was his blessing, Bai Yulan also sat in the first row, the position closest to the field, she could see it very clearly, she looked around, and shared her experience with Ling Yukong, and said: "This time, there is no difference in length, it can be seen that this first round, is it to screen out all the ugly people." ”
"The princess's person, even if she is an inner servant, if she mixes well in the future, maybe she will still be a concubine, where would you want those ugly ones?" Ling Yukong didn't care at all, thinking that what Bai Yulan said was simply nonsense.
"Oh yes." Bai Yulan nodded and continued to watch the game.
"Who do you think will win this game? I think if it were according to Naka's temperament, maybe it would be fun. She suddenly gossiped with Ling Yukong, who was sitting next to her.
Ling Haku himself was not going to pay attention to her, but as if he was obsessed, he answered these meaningless questions that he had disdained to say.
"Since Your Highness has the emperor and the queen mother by her side, and there is a national teacher to check it, she must not just come according to her own preferences, this selection of the chamberlain is the announcement of the whole city, and the specifications are almost equivalent to His Majesty's choice of concubines, it can be seen that she can't be the master herself."
However, Bai Yulan didn't seem to need to listen to his answer, and she was concentrating on watching these people paint, but she felt that these literati's things were indeed lethargic, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Yi was not around now, and was arranged to sit in the back with Ling Yukong's guards, she wouldn't be so bored here.
Seeing that Bai Yulan was dozing off, her head was about to hang down to the ground, so that Yukong was a ghost, and when she saw the national teacher above, she also held her head to prevent her from falling, and after Bai Yulan was sobered up by this cold hand, she withdrew her hand in a proper manner, coughed, and said, "You are about to fall to the ground." ”
Bai Yulan yawned and said, "It's not that it's too boring here. ”
But for no reason, I felt a chill all over my body, and then I sneezed, this is going to be summer, where does the chill come from.
Ye Mingting's eyes above glanced at this scene and glanced at Ling Yukong coldly.
It seems that his wife is too close to Ling Yukong, and it is not good, if she thinks crankily with her head like this, and suddenly gets hot, won't she faint and run away with someone?
Bai Yulan couldn't manage so much, she saw that Naka above was already a 'proctor'-like role on the side, so the invigilator said loudly: "It's time!" ”
So the men stopped their pens and picked up the painting straight from their desks, and then the men stood aside, with the drawings hanging from their hands, and explained to Naka what they had drawn, from one to the end.
The first man, who painted a landscape map, said: "I am in love with the splendid landscape, and I think I yearn for it in my life." ”
He was wearing smoky blue clothes, his eyebrows were bold and his posture was chic, and he should be commensurate with his paintings, and the emperor seemed to like this indisputable temperament, and said: "Good! Painting skills, not inferior to the royal painters. ”
Between the inner servants, there must be such indisputable people, so that there can be a reconciliation for a group, the first, over.
The next few were pictures of the scenes, but they lost the first one as free and easy, Naka was vetoed before he could speak, and then, there were a few more scenes of painting Naka's previous appearance, the emperor saw that the mood left one, and the rest were too flattering, and they were also eliminated, and the last one was the first person that Bai Yulan noticed.
The painting in his hand was empty, and there was a blank piece of paper on it.
"This is the most beautiful painting in my opinion!"
The emperor's face changed, and he frowned and reprimanded angrily: "There is nothing in the painting, do you dare to fool the Son of Heaven?" ”
Even Naka, who was sitting on one side and didn't speak much, spoke up at this time: "Is there any special material that needs to be revealed by special techniques?" ”
When the man heard this, he laughed and said: "The princess is smart, but there is no beauty in this painting, she is the most beautiful person, she is already in front of her, and she can't paint the beautiful scenery in front of her eyes and the beautiful scenery in her heart, but the grass people think that this is not so vivid at this moment, but the grass people dare not fool Your Majesty and everyone, so the grass people leave blank, but they also leave the painting in it." ”
Then, he asked people to bring a basin of water, spread the paper lightly on the water, soaked it, and then shook it up elegantly, and the white paper highlighted the figure of a woman, not the side that Naka appeared at the door in full costume before, stunning everyone, but a young girl riding a horse and raising a whip, full of brightness, just showing the figure, but there is no specific demeanor, but you don't have to look at it, you can expect that under that posture, it should be a girl's vivid and shallow face.
Bai Yulan's heart moved, turned around and pulled Ling Yukong's sleeve, and said, "I think he will definitely be selected." ”
Sure enough, it was not only her, but Naka on the stage, the energy of Ling Yu'an, who had only noticed the audience before, was also attracted at this time, and her face changed slightly under the delicate makeup, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Ling Yukong said disdainfully on the side: "Although it is a little clever, but it is just some embroidery kung fu and some sensationalism." ”
Bai Yulan sneered: "Do you think this is a method of grandstanding? But he is the only one, I guess he doesn't come for power, or in other words, either he likes the person in front of him, or, he is a very high person who can penetrate people's minds, and this painting is the thing that pulls out the real Naka, the person outside the high wall in her heart. ”
How high-spirited is the whip of the horse? But now, under the walls of responsibility and height, it is not enough.
Sure enough, although Naka did not speak, the emperor was so familiar with his daughter, he didn't want his daughter to be supreme in the imperial power in the future, too emotional, and naturally wanted to cultivate another person who was better than Ling Yu'an.
So, the emperor laughed and said, "Ingenuity! Register your name. ”
