The painting is fifteen feet long and seven inches wide, much larger than an ordinary painting.

But it was not the size that silenced everyone, but the content, which recorded the scene of the capital.

In the picture scroll of more than five meters long, a large number of various figures are painted, such as cattle, mules, donkeys and other livestock, cars, sedan chairs, large and small boats, houses, bridges, city towers, etc., each with its own characteristics, the corner is a corner of the imperial palace, the glorious atmosphere, the whole painting can be called a masterpiece of the world.

A moment later, the crowd was in an uproar, and an old man stood up trembling and his voice trembled.

"Dare to ask Princess Chenyu, who made this painting?"

Chenyu is Shi Mo's title, Shi Mo turned around and blessed the old man slightly, the old man is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he used to be an official residence, and the emperor specially invited the old man to participate in this birthday banquet.

"Hui Qiu Lao, this painting is made by this palace."

Many people looked at each other, not trusting Shi Mo's answer, but they didn't think that Shi Mo dared to lie in front of the emperor.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn for a while, and it was the emperor who broke the tranquility, he touched his beard, and his mood was a few points more reserved than before.

"No wonder Cao'er always went out of the palace before, and didn't tell me why I left the palace, Cao'er, you told your father, how long have you been painting this painting?"

Shi Mo turned to face the emperor again, "I returned to my father, I painted for more than a year, and this painting was completed, thanks to the guidance of Taifu on the side." ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Tai Fu, who smiled, and even his wrinkled face looked much brighter.

"Don't dare to be, Princess Chenyu is talented, and the old minister just explained the current people's situation to the princess."

As soon as the words of the emperor and the Taifu came out, even if everyone couldn't believe it, they had to believe it, the emperor said a word, and he would not favor his daughter in this kind of matter, let alone Taifu, Taifu was the most upright, and when he was still an official in the court, he scolded the emperor bluntly several times, and no one would doubt Taifu's personality.

Now, everyone in the hall looked at Shi Mo's eyes differently, and he painted such a masterpiece at a young age, I'm afraid that none of the nobles in Beijing can compare, right?

Not to mention peers, even if they are half-cut into the ground, few of them can draw such paintings.

The emperor was very happy, and immediately issued an order to give Princess Shimo the mansion and the fief of Nanjun.

For a while, Shi Mo became the most eye-catching person in this banquet.

Then came the official gift, the prince and Shi Mo Zhuyu were in front, and the gifts behind were dull.

Finally, there is the gift of Jiang Guo, their land is in the northern part of the Central Plains, where is the boundless grassland, the people live by water and grass, and they are one of the vassal states of Xuanguo.

Their gifts were a little different, and several of Xuanguo's guards came in carrying a square cage one person high, covered by a curtain outside, and maintained the mystery of the gift as much as the crown prince.

"What is this?"

The emperor was a little curious and asked.

The envoy of Jiang Guo leaned over and did the highest etiquette of Jiang Guo, and then replied.

"This is the child of a sacred object that is enshrined in our country."

Fetish? Offspring?

For a time, everyone was very interested in the creatures in the cage.

Jiang Guo's envoy asked the guards to lift the curtain, and no one thought that it would be a living creature or a few fierce beasts, although it was only a half-grown cub, it still shocked many people in the palace.

"Escort!"

The eunuch shouted, but was stopped by the emperor, and he smiled: "It's just a wolf cub, why panic." ”。

Then he looked at Jiang Guo's envoys, with a fierce light in his eyes, "I heard that Jiang Guo has always worshiped wolves as gods, and such gifts are heavy gifts." ”
