Hearing Shen Changge's words, Shen De was very pleased, with a kind smile on his face: "Having said that, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and you found that Du Zhangzhong, the prefect of Jinzhou, was full of personal pockets and made meritorious contributions, so I naturally dare to reward you." ”

As he spoke, he thought to himself and continued: "A few days ago, I got a tribute horse and I will reward you with this horse. ”

When Shen Changge heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "My son thanks my father for his gift." ”

Immediately, she sat back in her seat at Shen De's instructions.

As she sat down, everyone present was thinking about it with their own thoughts.

This reward from the emperor is not difficult to see his love and respect for the crown prince.

However, in the past six months, everyone has seen the prince's change. All the people present were human spirits, and not all of them changed their attitudes with the movements of the court.

Therefore, many officials stood up to toast Shen Changge, saying flattering and polite words.

Although Shen Changge was a little bad at it, and she didn't like such polite exchanges, but because of the scene and situation, she had to be patient and accept everyone's toast with a smile.

After a few glasses of wine, her white face was slightly flushed, and her head was slightly drowsy.

"Prince."

Shen Yiqing's deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears, making her subconsciously turn her head to look.

"Uncle Huang, is there something wrong?"

Looking at her flushed face and slightly wandering eyes, Shen Yiqing's heart suddenly became a little worried.

"You can't drink any more." He lowered his voice and said, "Don't get drunk. ”

He didn't forget that once, the prince was drunk and forced to kiss him.

Although he never saw the prince drunk again, it was inevitable that the prince would lose his temper after drinking, and he must stop the prince from continuing to drink.

What if the prince loses his temper after drinking and forcibly kisses someone else?

He would never allow such a thing to happen!

Shen Changge didn't know what he was thinking, and after hearing what he said, she nodded obediently: "I don't drink anymore, it's uncomfortable to drink too much." ”

Fortunately, the officials also had a discernment, and when they saw that she had drunk a lot, no one toasted her anymore, and they all said words of blessing to the emperor.

At this moment, Shen Tianhua, who had not moved, suddenly got up, raised his glass towards Shen De, and said, "Father, my son wishes you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

"The eldest prince has a heart." Shen De nodded with a warm smile, and then motioned for him to sit down.

However, Shen Tianhua did not sit down, but continued: "Father, the son has a reluctant request, I wonder if the son can see the birthday gift given by the prince to his father?" The prince went out to practice for two months, and he must have seen a lot of novelties, and the birthday gift for his father must be an extraordinary thing. Therefore, Erchen wanted to take this opportunity to open his eyes and hope that his father would be fulfilled. ”

As soon as his words fell, Shen Changge raised his head and looked at him meaningfully.

This Shen Tianhua was really full of curiosity about her birthday gift, and really spoke to the emperor in person.

But it doesn't matter, even if he Shen Tianhua is secretly thinking about something, he can't help her.

While she was secretly pondering, she saw Shen Dezheng turning her head to look at her, so she got up and said, "Father, the birthday gift given to my father by my son is not an ordinary thing, and my son is still worried that he won't be able to get into his father's eyes." But if the eldest brother wants to see it, it can only make the sons and daughters ugly. ”

When Shen De heard this, he looked at her thoughtfully, then at Shen Tianhua, and finally ordered the palace people to present the birthday gift offered by Shen Changge.

Soon, a little eunuch stepped forward respectfully with a box in his hand, and raised the box above his head with both hands.

Without waiting for Shen De and Shen Changge to speak, Shen Tianhua walked out of his seat, came to the little eunuch, opened the box, and took out a scroll inside.

"Prince, you're welcome."

Shen Tianhua turned his head and looked at Shen Changge with a smile on his face, and then opened the scroll.

With his movements, everyone present looked at him for a moment, and among the officials below, many of them stretched their necks, obviously very curious.

Shen Tianhua seemed to deliberately arouse people's appetites, and slowly unfolded the painting scroll.

However, as the scroll gradually unfolded, his expression gradually became strange.

And when the scroll was completely opened, he suddenly showed a shocked expression, and suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Changge in disbelief.

Everyone, including Shen Changge, was confused by his reaction, and they all looked at him in confusion.

"The Great Prince." Shen De's voice was a little lower, "What do you see?" ”

"Father's ......"

Shen Tianhua looked a little embarrassed, but under Shen De's serious gaze, he had to slowly display the scroll in front of Shen De's eyes.

I saw that it was a very ordinary ink landscape painting, and there was nothing special about it.

However, what surprised Shen Tianhua was the person who painted this painting.

When he saw the inscription on the painting, Shen De's face instantly became gloomy and ugly, and his questioning gaze instantly fell on Shen Changge.

"Prince, is this the birthday gift you prepared for me?" Shen De's voice was a little cold, "When the first emperor was still there, he made a decree to destroy everything related to King Huaiyang. And you dare to give the painting of King Huaiyang to me as a birthday gift! ”

The First Emperor? King Huaiyang?

What the hell is this?

She didn't know what this Huaiyang King was.

But judging from everyone's reaction, this King of Huaiyang must be a taboo that is not allowed, otherwise, the emperor's reaction would not be so strong.

But Shen Changge did not panic, but glanced at Shen Tianhua with a sneering look.

Fortunately, she had taken precautions, otherwise, she was afraid that she would really be calculated this time.

Standing up, she arched her hand towards Shen De and said, "Father is angry, this painting is not a birthday gift prepared by Erchen for his father, and Erchen doesn't know what is going on with this painting." ”

As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, and looked at Shen De with a firm gaze: "Don't hide it from my father, the birthday gift that my son is going to give to my father is a painting by Master Yixin." Since he got that painting, Erchen has been carefully kept, and Erchen doesn't know how the painting of Master Yixin became the painting of King Huaiyang? ”

As she spoke, she quietly glanced towards the entrance of the main hall, just in time to see Mo Chu probing his head and looking in.

Coincidentally, Mo Chu also happened to look at her, so he immediately said something to her with his lips.

However, when she understood what Mo Chu was talking about, a touch of surprise quickly appeared in her clear eyes.

Mo Chu said that the painting was gone.

It's good, how can the paintings of the master of Yixin not be seen?

The reason why she asked Mo Chu to keep Master Yixin's paintings was to prevent such a thing from happening now.

But now, Master Yixin's painting is gone, so how can she convince the emperor that this painting of King Huaiyang was not prepared by her?
