Finally it was Xiao Rui's turn.

Xiao Rui came out of the column with a brocade box and stood in the center of the main hall, everyone's eyes were focused on him, especially the condescending gaze of Emperor Xia at the top, which made Xiao Rui feel the majesty of the king of a country.

He first bowed to Emperor Xia and bowed: "Erchen wishes my father and the emperor happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and his longevity is better than the immortal pine of Nanshan." ”

These days, Xiao Rui has done several things in a high-profile manner, so that Emperor Xia attaches great importance to him and asks, "Flat." Rui'er, what kind of birthday gift did you prepare for me? ”

"Erchen has prepared a painting." Xiao Rui confessed honestly.

"Oh? Which famous painter painted? Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Rui said: "It was made by Zhang Painter of Duobao Zhai in the capital. ”

Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, he didn't hear who this painter Zhang was, is there this famous painter in Daxia?

Queen Zhou Xiangyun, Lin Yuer and other concubines also showed doubts.

Xiao Yuan, the fifth prince, laughed and said: "Back to my father, this painter Zhang is a painter of Duobao Zhai, good at figure painting, and is not a famous master. Unexpectedly, on such an important day as his father's birthday, the seventh brother is really casual tempered. ”

"How can this be true? How can the father be so casual and neglectful on his father's birthday. Xiao Feng, the fourth prince, said indignantly, he hates Xiao Rui the most now, after all, he was punished by Emperor Xia because of the complaint, and later learned that he jumped into the pit.

"That's it!" Xiao Ming, the sixth prince, also responded: "Today is my father's birthday, if you can't set an example and fulfill your filial piety, how can you set an example for the people of the world?" ”

Xiao Rui glanced at the two of them and said, "Thank you two for reminding me, my younger brother thinks that the birthday gift he prepared can express filial piety, so he won't worry about the two elder brothers for his father." ”

Xiao Feng and Xiao Ming froze for a moment, and found that Emperor Xia's gaze swept towards them, and hurriedly sat down and shut up.

Yes, Emperor Xia didn't say anything, do you two want to do it on your behalf?

Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Rui, and his observations over the past few days made him know that his seven sons were not simple, so he asked, "What is the content of your paintings?" ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "I also ask my father to agree, my son wants to open this painting in the palace." ”

"Good!" Emperor Xia was even more curious, what kind of paintings did he give, he was good at figure painting, and who was he painting?

Xiao Rui opened the brocade box and took out the picture scroll, and then Father-in-law Hai came to help, let him hold one end, and then slowly rolled out the painting.

Slowly, a portrait of a woman slowly emerges.

The woman is quiet and gentle, and the smile on the corner of her mouth is like the sun in winter, warm and pleasant.

"Seventh brother, did you draw the wrong one?" Xiao Yuan asked deliberately.

"How do you take out a portrait of a woman, is it your good look?" Xiao Feng was even more sarcastic.

"That's it!" Xiao Ming asked, "Where did you find the woman?" ”

"Shut up!"

Who knows, Emperor Xia suddenly stood up and roared loudly.

In an instant, the entire Baohe Hall was silent, Xiao Feng, Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Ming were terrified, they hadn't seen Emperor Xia so angry for a long time.

"The son is guilty!" The three of them reacted and immediately ran out and knelt in the temple.

Emperor Xia ignored the three of them, but looked at Xiao Rui.

In the entire hall, only Emperor Xia knew who the person in the painting was, and the queen Zhou Xiangyun and Lin Yuer did not know each other, because when Empress Xiao Shengxian died, Emperor Xia had not yet married, and it was Zhou Xiangyun and Lin Yuer who married one after another when he began to compete for the throne.

Xiao Rui held the picture scroll in his hand and said: "Father, the parents of the body and skin, and the sons and daughters feel that the person who should be most grateful for everyone's birthday should be the mother." Erchen's mother died early, so Erchen understands the pain of missing his mother. Although his father is the emperor of Great Xia and the monarch of the world, his sons think that his father's longing for his mother is also like ordinary people, deep in his heart, and the pain of missing invades the bone marrow. ”

"The sons miss their mothers, and the father naturally misses their mothers."

"Today is my father's birthday, and my son feels that the most important thing to pray for is the emperor's grandmother."

Speaking of which, it would be too stupid for everyone in the hall to not know who the person in the painting is.

Xiao Feng, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ming sweated like rain, especially Xiao Feng actually insulted Empress Xiao Shengxian, Emperor Xia's mother, and his own imperial grandmother... The three of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground, complaining about Xiao Rui in their hearts, but they didn't reveal anything, which caused the three of them to fall on the road.

Emperor Xia was indeed moved.

Looking at the woman in the painting, the vague memories suddenly pieced together, especially the barren life of his childhood, although the food was not good, but the mother would keep the only steamed buns for herself, never hungry. It was not well dressed, but the mother would put the clothes on herself, and it would never be cold.

Now, he is a king and has fine clothes and food, but he no longer has the warmth of shelter in his mother's arms.

Emperor Xia's eyes moistened.

He has been in the world for more than 20 years, and he has never cried since his mother died, even if his father Emperor Xiaowen died, he has not shed a single tear. At this time, it is difficult to restrain yourself.

The son wants to raise but the parent is not there.

Only by feeling it can we know the bitterness.

"Xiao Qi, how did you know the dignity of Empress Xiao Shengxian?" At this time, Xiao Mingying asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Xiao Rui said respectfully: "Uncle Huang, I learned about the dignity of the imperial grandmother from the old lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and she dictated it before asking the painter to depict it." ”

Xiao Mingying nodded and said sincerely: "It's rare, it's rare." ”

At this time, Emperor Xia saw that on the side of the portrait, there was a small handwriting with a fly's head, and he was a little far away, so he couldn't see it really.

"What's written on the painting?" Emperor Xia asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's a poem." Gonggong Hai glanced at Xiao Rui, and saw that he didn't take the initiative to reply, so he said.

Emperor Xia hurriedly said: "Come quickly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Grandpa Hai looked at the poems in the painting and slowly read out:

"The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late. Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs. ”

Gonggong Hai's slightly sharp voice slowly read out, and it was endlessly circling in the empty hall.

Xiao Rui has already shed tears and rain.

He also misses his mother, and travels into this world, which is similar to yin and yang. Since then, it has been a long time and it is difficult to see each other again. I can only turn my thoughts into a small boat, myself at one end and my mother at that end.

Emperor Xia's eyes were red, and his high-ranking qualities made him stop the tears in his eyes.

Looking at Xiao Rui's tears, Emperor Xia became more and more moved.

Yes, the other princes in the palace are accompanied by their mothers, but Xiao Rui lost his mother at a young age and was lonely.

"Sea companion, put this painting into my Qianxia Palace." Emperor Xia said in a deep voice.

In the Great Xia Palace, the Qianxia Palace is the sleeping palace of the Xia Emperor, which shows the importance that the Xia Emperor attaches to this painting.

Xiao Rui wiped away his tears when he heard the sound, arched his hand, and returned to his seat.

As soon as I sat down, a pleasant chime sounded in my head.

"Ding Dong..."

"Mission complete, advent +10"

The Eighth Prince Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan have not yet given gifts, and they have completed the task by themselves?

It seems that the portrait of Empress Xiao Shengxian, coupled with "The Wanderer's Yin", is indeed a big killer.

Originally, there were no poems on the portrait, but after the system suddenly released the task, Xiao Rui took advantage of the fact that the banquet had not yet started, and specially mentioned it.

The effect was good, not only moved Emperor Xia, but even Xiao Rui was moved to tears.

I just don't know how Emperor Xia will punish Xiao Feng, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Yuan who continue to kneel?

Deserve!

Xiao Rui sent them two words.
