Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Gift
But...... Luo Jiaqi's gaze looked at Luo Jinxiu through the person in front of him, and an imperceptible smile rose at the corner of his mouth, probably...... She's going to disappoint Luo Jinxiu.
The first gift is naturally Luo Muyuan, Yanjing as a small Kyoto, naturally there will be no shortage of good things, and there are many celebrities and treasures, this time, he presented a landscape painting of Qi Zhangqi, a famous painter in the entire Yanchuan Continent.
Qi Zhangqi is a native of Eastern Chu, a neighboring country of Western Xia, and is a figure of the previous monarch's period.
Unfortunately, although this person is talented and his paintings are touted by many people, he is a short-lived man, who died of wind and cold in the fourth year of his career, and it is said that he left less than fifty paintings, but they were scattered in all corners of the Yanchuan continent.
The landscape painting presented by Luo Muyuan is called "Ten Thousand Ravines and Blue Waves", which is one of Qi Zhangqi's last paintings during his lifetime.
Emperor Xixia loved painting, and when he saw this painting, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said three good words in a row, which was enough to show the satisfaction and joy in his heart.
Later, Luo Muze gave a gift, he and Luo Muyuan liked to fight and kill more, of course, this person was not a warmonger, but compared to his eldest brother who had no quarrel with the world.
Like Yanjing, Luoyang was also a small Kyoto, and not only that, but it was also the seat of Kyoto for many imperial dynasties before Western Xia.
Therefore, when Luo Muze offered the bronze sword used by the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
The Zhou Dynasty can be traced back four or five hundred years from the Western Xia, and according to legend, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was brave and good at fighting.
The bronze sword used in his hand is because it has always been accompanied by the national fortune, and whichever emperor of the future generations gets it, he can bless his country, the country, the people, the peace, and prosperity.
It's just that I didn't expect that such an important thing would be found by Luo Muze!
The Emperor of Western Xia was already happy to close his mouth, the two sons were originally his pride, and the annual banquet was never an ordinary thing, but this year was especially satisfying.
Luo Jiaqi couldn't help but shake her head and sighed softly, with her current ability, there is really no way to compare with these two imperial brothers.
But fortunately, her goal today is not high, as long as she is better than Luo Jinxiu.
There are two people, Luo Muyuan and Luo Muze, who shine in the front, and the gifts of the princes in the back are a little prosaic in comparison.
However, Emperor Xixia didn't say anything, and accepted it happily.
After the ten princes have finished their gifts, it will be their turn to be the ten princesses.
Between them, Luo Fangfei stood up elegantly, and her gestures were all with the demeanor of royalty and aristocrats.
Seeing Luo Fangfei walking to the center of the main hall, Luo Jiaqi suddenly came to her senses, she knew, Qin Yu, that was the place where the most jade was produced and the best quality in Western Xia.
This is also one of the reasons why Qin Yu became one of the richest cities in Western Xia.
"The gifts of the royal brothers and brothers are very good, and they are all very thoughtful,"
The people around Luo Fangfei brought the gift they had prepared, and now behind Luo Fangfei, I saw that the thing was as tall as a person's upper body, but the front was covered with red satin, and no one knew what was underneath.
And Luo Fangfei didn't mean to open it directly, but looked at the Xixia Emperor above with a smile and continued to speak.
"It's just...... Although the intentions of the royal brothers and brothers are very good, there are still some fly in the ointment. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, whether it was Luo Muyuan, Luo Muze or Emperor Xixia, was stunned for a moment, and they didn't know where Luo Fangfei started to say this.
Seeing Emperor Xixia's inquiring gaze, Luo Fangfei still had a calm smile on her face, and continued:
"Although their gifts are good, they are all dedicated to their father, and as the king of a country, what is lacking? Of course, there are some valuable ones that are really rare, and these are also our intentions as sons. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Fangfei's eyes looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting next to Emperor Xixia, revealing a smile that a junior should have when he saw his elders,
"But this year is different, in the past, the imperial grandmother was no longer at such a banquet, but this year the imperial grandmother returned to the palace.
So Erchen thought, since Erchen must be inferior to others in the treasure offered, especially Erchen's two royal brothers. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Fangfei also deliberately glared at Luo Muyuan and Luo Muze coquettishly, as if she was angry that they had stolen her limelight.
And the two brothers could only smile awkwardly, they didn't dare to say anything in the face of their younger sister who had been spoiled since childhood.
"So, Erchen had a whim, in fact, there is no provision for this palace banquet to only give gifts to the father and emperor alone, so today's gift for Erchen wants to be dedicated to the emperor's grandmother."
After listening to Luo Fangfei, the smile on the queen mother's face became even gentler, looking at this also not small emperor, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Emperor Xixia also laughed after hearing this, and nodded Luo Fangfei's direction with his hand, but there was a hint of pampering in his tone:
"You're a ghost, you've taken advantage of me, that's it, you're right, but shouldn't we see what good things you've prepared?"
It can be seen that Emperor Xixia has been aroused at this time, and the Queen Mother also looked at Luo Fangfei with interest, wanting to see what gift she would give herself.
But when she heard Luo Fangfei say this, Luo Jiaqi suddenly lost interest, because she had already guessed what Luo Fangfei was sending.
Generally, there is no need to guess, either a Buddha or a Bodhisattva.
Why? Very simply, the Queen Mother's worship of Buddhism is well known, and since Luo Fangfei wants to honor the Queen Mother, it must be very Buddhist-related.
If there is anything worth attracting Luo Jiaqi, it may be that Qin Yu's special jade can make Luo Jiaqi feel that Luo Fangfei's gift is good.
In this era, there are still very few novel furnishings or anything, and compared to the designs in Luo Jiaqi's mind, this era must be relatively backward.
Of course, these are Luo Jiaqi's mental activities, and others don't know about them.
I saw Luo Fangfei smile mysteriously, then turned around, walked to the next person, and lifted the red silk.
The silk gradually fell to the ground, and as Luo Jiaqi expected, there was a statue of a Bodhisattva inside.
It's just that Qin Yu's unique Qin jade is used, which is the most precious jade species in Qin Yu and even the entire Western Xia.
I saw that the color of this jade Bodhisattva was evenly distributed, and under the reflection of the candlelight, there seemed to be a gentle light shining around, as if it was really the divine light on the Bodhisattva.
