037 Not a screen
"Reward."
The emperor laughed a few times and nodded at the queen. The concubine's eyes swept over Song Chengyan's face, full of contempt. The crown prince has already married the daughter of the left prime minister's family, and the queen has no children, and the right prime minister's family only has such a child, it seems that it will be a trouble in the future.
"Your Majesty, Shun Ying brought her baby today in order to celebrate the queen's birthday, and the concubine asked her twice but didn't get it."
"Oh? Present it quickly. ”
As soon as the eunuch heard the emperor's words, he immediately moved over, lifted the red cloth, and sure enough, it was a birthday gift that he could handle, a huge night pearl, the size of which was estimated to be just wrapped around the arms of an adult. Fang Xing can afford to be a thief, but this thing is really hard to move, so forget it...
"The crown princess has a heart." The queen just smiled lukewarmly and continued, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the daughter of a scholar for a long time, and the concubine has been thinking about her piano sound."
Although the queen is so cold and distant, the crown princess is not angry, sitting beside the prince upright, today is just a scene, the queen who has no children, and the princess's concubine who was born to the imperial concubine, if the two are intimate, it is a ghost. Ye Ruyan's panting sound worsened slightly, Fang Xing sneered in her heart, she was glad that she had changed her birthday gift? Tut.. It's early, and soon Ye Ruyan would rather be hit by someone and weigh on the head than ...
This girl plays very well and is very pleasant, at least Fang Xing, who doesn't understand the guqin, thinks so. At the end of the song, the emperor said a few good words. Fang Xing looked ahead with empty eyes, endured a yawn, and saw another woman dancing on the stage, Fang Xing was completely out of interest, and took another sip of flower wine, which attracted Ye Shangshu's cold eyes.
Bai Yumo didn't care about such an occasion at all, leaned back on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, killing this boring time, the emperor also completely ignored him, and chatted with Bai Yuqi under his seat in full swing, just talked about the scientific expedition to be held in Yan'an for a while, the emperor suddenly remembered something, and looked down...
"Father, Ye Shangshu's daughter Ye Ruyan, specially prepared a birthday gift for his mother.."
The crown prince guessed whether the emperor thought of Fang Xing, as soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, revealing a look of shock, the beautiful eyes of the concubine sank, and she stared at the prince with hatred and shook her head. The crown princess's face was not wavering, but Fang Xing clearly saw that the sleeves of her embroidered and trimmed lake blue dress moved, and the fingers under the table must have been clenched very tightly. The emperor's eyes just fell on Ye Shangshu's table, and his obedience immediately turned to displeasure.
The prince sat down embarrassedly, he was also helpless, Ye Ruyan begged him like that, and spoke for her at the Qianqiu Festival, saying that it was because Fang Xing deliberately prepared the same congratulatory gift.
"Then bring it in."
The scene was instantly cold, and the queen nodded to the eunuch who carried the ceremony, presumably she also liked to see this scene, Fang Xing buried his head and pressed the bracelet on his wrist, thinking that he must hold back, he couldn't laugh out loud in this scene..
"I wish the queen a thousand blessings and peace of mind, such as smoke and clumsiness, embroidered this Baishou screen, and I hope that the mother will not give up."
Ye Ruyan's eyes flashed brightly, and she was even a little excited between her words, she naturally knew how bad the situation was now, but the prince's willingness to speak for her was enough for everyone to see her status in the prince's heart, even if she was reprimanded by the emperor at this time, it was worth it.
The ebony border of the folded screen, with the bright yellow silk as the base, is embroidered with various forms of longevity characters in rare stone blue, or double-sided embroidery, and it has indeed made a lot of effort. I don't know if the emperor is deliberately fulfilling the prince, but he seems quite happy to see the congratulatory gift...
"If you have a heart, reward."
"Your Majesty."
Ye Ruyan let out a sigh of relief, stood up and sat back next to Fang Xing, and the imperial concubine's gaze fell on her like a steel needle. made Ye Ruyan have the illusion of being in the cold moon, and her fingers couldn't help but tremble. The emperor turned his head with a faint smile, and the concubine immediately pretended that nothing had happened and smiled back.
A trace of uncertainty flashed in Ye Shangshu's eyes, what Ye Ruyan originally prepared, he knew, how did he change it? However, thinking of the prince's actions, he still smiled with satisfaction.
"Fang Xing? I haven't seen you for a while, can I prepare a birthday gift today? ”
The emperor's eyes were still on Ye Shangshu's table, and the sudden question made everyone's eyes focus on Fang Xing, Ye Shangshu was nervously busy kicking Fang Xing under the table, Fang Xing made a note in his heart, and walked to the side of the table speechlessly and knelt down.
"Come forward and speak."
The emperor's attitude towards the awakening of the other party is really incomprehensible. Fang Xing nodded, with a faint smile on his face, and he was in full swing.
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live the queen, long live the queen."
Seeing that Fang Xing's etiquette was thorough, Ye Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, and the queen faced the generous Fang Xing, and her eyes also quickly flashed with a touch of surprise, and she quickly returned to normal.
"Sure enough, the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and Xiu'er has to talk to the concubine a few times a day. Today can be regarded as seeing the deity. ”
"Xiu'er is not just talking in front of the queen, Fang Xing, a few days ago, the prince said that you would mention poetry, but I didn't know that you still had this talent?"
"Back to the emperor, I praised it falsely, the courtiers are just petty fights and can't get on the stage."
Seeing that Fang Xing could still face it calmly on such an occasion, the emperor was in a slightly better mood, and turned his eyes to see that the eunuch had already brought out her birthday gift, but he was curious about what surprise Fang Xing would give him.
The red cloth is lifted, the interstitial standing screen of yellow rosewood is made of a large frame with a side wipe, the center of the screen is separated by a sub-frame, the four sides are hollowed out of the carved crest, and the bottom plate is carved with two thick wooden drums. It's just that this style of screen is already an old thing... Everyone couldn't help whispering, waiting to see Fang Xing's good show, thinking that she had changed, and the emperor was also like this, but her ability was broken, and she could only prepare such a thing.
"You sisters are of the same heart, and you have prepared the same screen, did you embroider the picture in the sub-frame?"
A trace of pride flashed on Ye Ruyan's face, the emperor was slightly disappointed, but he still helped Fang wake up in his words, the queen immediately realized that she walked down in person, and looked at the picture in the sub-frame seriously, there was a sharp stream in the middle, and there was a lush grass on both sides, there was a white crane on the grass on the left to take off, and on the right was a fake stone, on which stood a white crane looking at the opposite one, and there was a peach tree standing upright behind her, and the branches spread throughout the upper half of the picture, and there were four vertical lines of small characters in the middle of the picture.
"It's actually a painting. Did you draw it? It's lifelike, and there's poetry."
The queen approached and silently read the poem in the sub-frame, and then smiled shyly with her handkerchief.
"What a poem. Read it to me. ”
"The concubine can't read this poem."
The queen gave way to the side, and Gonggong Gao hurriedly came down and squinted and read.
"Back to the emperor, it is the Song family that has a woman who has just grown up, and she is raised in the deep boudoir. It is difficult to give up the natural beauty, and once chose the king's side. Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. This woman should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear about it in the world. ”
"Haha."
The emperor suddenly smiled, and his cognition of Fang Xing was a little more, he really didn't expect Fang Xing to make such a flattering poem.
Bai Yumo's eyes that had been closed opened slightly, and a coldness flashed in his dark eyes, which was so fast that people couldn't catch it, Xu is Yan Che was too exaggerated in front of him to wake up, and when he met it today, he felt a lot disappointed, and felt that it was no different from those women who were perfunctory. didn't look at Fang Xing at all, raised his hand and turned the wheelchair and quietly left, everyone seemed to be used to him like this, no one cared at all.
"Longevity Crane, Miss Fang Xing has a heart, it is rare for you to be able to write well at your age, this palace likes it very much."
Indeed, with this painting and a poem, it will not be lost to Ye Ruyan's screen. The queen personally raised her hand to support Fang Xing, Fang Xing hurriedly stood up, this poem praised the queen to the sky, can she not like it? But it's just pretending to be a good word.. The imperial concubine glanced at it disdainfully.
"There's no novelty at all, it looks like it's all screens.."
If it were normal, the concubine would never suppress anyone to boost Ye Ruyan's momentum, but today Fang Xing's poem is really hateful, Fang Xing smiled decently, and turned the screen around with a frame.
"The birthday gift of the courtier, not the screen.."
The emperor took a sip of wine, his face moved slightly, and he knew that Fang Xing would definitely give him a good show. The queen intended to return to her seat, and when she heard Fang Xing's words, she also stopped, only to see Fang Xing remove a few hidden buttons above and on the left and right of the sub-frame, and then took down the wooden board on the back.
"This... This is? ”
"Mirror."
Fang Xing nodded with the wooden board, and gently replied to the queen's words, in this era, there are many polished copper mirrors, which are blurry, and the color cannot reflect the original color. The queen touched the mirror with her hand in disbelief and found that even her tiny pores could be seen at a glance.
"This is a glass mirror, it was made by chance that the courtiers found it in Haoyue, and it was inlaid on the screen, no wonder the concubine thought it was a screen, and when my father and Aunt Wang saw it earlier, they also thought so..."
Fang Xing's simple sentence made a counterattack against the collision incident, the implication is that she Fang Xing did not prepare a screen, but Aunt Wang saw it and thought it was, it happened that Ye Ruyan prepared a screen, which means that it is self-evident, and it also turned Ye Ruyan's gift that she had been boiling for several days and nights into a joke. The emperor simply walked down from the dragon seat, and Bai Yuxiu and the others also stretched their necks to see, it was a mirror, it was really an ordinary thing in modern times, and it was really a rare thing in this place.
"You said you made this mirror?"
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and personally turned the screen carefully back and forth, and the officials in the audience suddenly heard a sound of inhalation, and all kinds of admiration were endless. Ye Ruyan's face was gloomy, she lost this battle, and she lost completely. The prince frowned and looked at Fang Xing at this moment, the afterglow of the sun shone on her face, lining her brilliance... Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head, he was crazy, he actually felt like this...
