Chapter 55: Palace Banquet I
The audience was silent.
Everyone was shocked, and the scene seemed to press the pause button, and suddenly it was silent.
The queen was the first to come back to her senses: "It's a good painting, it's really a good painting." Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a spring boudoir dream......"
It's overdone...... Yunyan thought. She shouldn't have chosen this theme, but she suddenly thought of Yunde, who was far away in the west, and looked at the annoying Princess Minghui and Princess Yongde, and involuntarily started painting, and when she wanted to change it, she couldn't turn back.
"Not only the content of the painting is good, but also the poems and words." The queen also said that it seemed that she had a high opinion of this work, and asked, "Princess Hao's calligraphy style is very unique, and this palace is also the first time to see it." Princess Hao, where did you learn from? ”
Yunyan learned the line script, yes, it is the line book of "Lanting Collection Preface", but this time she used not the line book, but the cursive script. The cursive script she copied in her previous life was also the work of Wang Xizhi. Yunyan smiled slightly and replied, "Empress Xie praised that Concubine Ben studied with a master who thought her surname was Wang when she was a child." As she expected, there was no cursive writing in this world, as she hadn't seen a single cursive work here so far. It seems that there is still a bit of a difference between this place and the ancient world of the previous world. In fact, this trick can only be used once, it's almost the same, according to the plan, Yunyan is going to shine at this banquet, and using too much on weekdays will reduce the favorability of others.
And Princess Minghui on the side came back to her senses from surprise and said, "You are a princess, how can you draw this kind of picture?" But now no one wants to pay attention to her, Yunyan said lightly: "If you want to paint, you can draw, so you can draw." gave Princess Minghui a feeling of punching on cotton, which made people very aggrieved.
"Then there is no need for this palace to say more, Princess Hao won, you have no objections, right?" The queen said to the crowd. Concubine Xianchun covered her mouth and chuckled on the side: "Even the calligraphy and painting that the queen agrees with are rare, and King Hao has married a good daughter-in-law." made Yunyan blushed slightly, "The concubine has won the award." ”
Princess Minghui didn't object to this, because the rank gap was too big. Among the daughters here, maybe any one of them is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the peony dedication picture painted is not necessarily worse than her, and Yunyan chose a theme that no one will choose, which makes it seem that she does not let her eyebrows, all the eldest ladies are painting peony when she is red, she is concerned about the world, and the subject matter alone determines the failure of Princess Minghui. Therefore, this competition not only won Minghui, a foreign princess, and won back face for Dayan Kingdom, but also showed Yunyan's extraordinary bearing.
"Heh, such a masterpiece, the palace had to snatch love from Princess Hao and ask Princess Hao for it." Celestial Princess Yongjia smiled. The protagonist of this palace banquet, in addition to Minghui, is this princess who returned to the province and relatives. She married the prince of Dongling Kingdom, avoided the naval war between Dongling Kingdom and Dayan Kingdom at that time, and won the emperor's pity, and she was the daughter of a virtuous concubine, and she also had the demeanor of a lady, and it is said that she is now in deep love with the prince and wife of Dongling Kingdom, and they get along very well.
"Celestia likes it, just take it, and ask me what to do?" Yunyan said to the eldest princess with a smile. The queen made a distressed gesture on the side: "I was still preempted by Yongjia, and the palace originally wanted to ask Princess Hao!"
This...... Although he knew that the queen did it on purpose, it was because of this that Yunyan was brought to the forefront again. It seems that the rumors in the capital tomorrow are that Yunyan's works are being collected by the princess and the queen, is Yin Qingzhen actually a talented woman with both appearance and talent?
I saw Princess Yongjia smile and said: "The queen mother said that she was laughing, and the concubine also said it casually, if you like it, you can take it." "This palace is not a person who snatches love with a knife, you grab it first, and it will be given to you." The queen said with a smile. "Thank you, Queen Mother." Yongjia said happily.
"Princess Hao is really a strange woman." Concubine Xianchun also sighed. Everyone could see from the attitude of the queen and the virtuous concubine that the two of them were very satisfied with Yunyan, and now they didn't dare to go up to find fault with her. Yun Luo also said to him: "Princess Hao is the same age as this concubine, but this kind of mind has never been a concubine, come, this concubine replaces wine with tea, and toasts Princess Hao with a cup."
Who wants to drink your wine! Yunyan thought secretly, but said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, princess." As he spoke, he drank the cup of tea as if he were really drinking.
"Princess Hao is so energetic." Yun Luo smiled and drank the tea as well.
The banquet began. Yunyan and Nangong Han converged and also sat in the lower position. "I heard you're very good, huh?" Nangong Han whispered in her ear.
"Is there one? Are you confused? Where did the rumors come from? "Yunyan pretended to be stupid.
"You're still pretending to be ......," Nangong Han said to her with a smile. You probably don't know how quickly rumors spread in the palace, but now everyone probably knows. ”
Clouds and smoke black lines. This kind of feast is to be left in the middle of the place to walk and dance, flanked by the concubines, the princes and ministers, and the ladies. The seats of the princes were arranged in order, and next to them were the sixteen princes. Counting the eleventh prince who has died young, the emperor has a total of eighteen sons, of which the eighteen princes are still only thirteen years old. Nangong Han is actually not big, Yunyan is fifteen, he is seventeen. This gives people the feeling that the emperor can really find a woman's profession openly if he has nothing to do, and he doesn't have to worry about someone scolding him for cheating. Yunyan has never figured out why the ancient people liked to spread the royal branches? casually gave birth to more than a dozen sons, and the common people in the capital did not have as many relatives as the emperor, so what was the good thing about close relatives getting married!
The seventh princess Yong'er is still a baby less than a year old, so she and her biological mother Ye Zhaoyi were also specially approved by the emperor not to use it. The emperor is old and has a daughter, and he is still very fond of the seventh princess.
Yunyan has been chatting with Nangong Han, or in a daze, she hasn't listened to others, and she hasn't listened to the emperor's words, but she saw the eighteenth prince looking at her.
"I've seen the eighteenth brother." Yunyan said politely, "Is there something wrong with the eighteenth brother?" Or is there something on my face? ”
The eighteenth prince immediately shook his head: "This prince didn't mean that...... Seventeen sisters-in-law, they all say that you are very powerful! At this time, the eighteenth prince didn't have any scheming, and he said it in a daze, giving Yunyan a feeling that he was not used to.
"Awesome? That aspect? Yunyan asked with a wink. They say you're good-looking, you can draw, and even the queen mother has praised your words! ”
"Really? Thank you to the eighteenth brother. Yun Yanwei said with a smile. Nangong Han told her that the biological mother of the eighteenth prince was the deceased concubine, because she had a child in middle age, she missed the best childbearing period, and the situation was so critical that the adult child could only protect one, and the concubine decided to protect the child without consulting the emperor, so after giving birth to the eighteenth prince, the concubine died, and the emperor took pity on their mother and son, so he let the virtuous concubine adopt the eighteenth prince.
