Becoming famous in one fell swoop (5)
"I don't know what gift my Linghua prepared for my father?" The Emperor's curiosity was aroused.
Princess Linghua smiled slightly, clapped her palms, and the palace maids Qiu Shuang and Qiu Ju, who were accompanying her, immediately walked over from the side hall with birthday gifts. Each of them was holding two rectangular boxes in their hands, and everyone watching was also curious.
Princess Linghua went down the imperial stairs, opened the two boxes, took out the scrolls from their boxes respectively, and gave them to the emperor like a treasure. The emperor couldn't wait to open it, and couldn't help laughing, "It's Du Xiuyuan's painting!" ”
Princess Linghua's face was slightly red, and then she took another scroll and opened it in disguise, showing it to Emperor Wende, which was actually a "Hanmei Picture". "Look, this is the painting of the talented Su Jing'an, and now there is his painting in the capital except for Fenghualou, which is the one in the hands of Erchen!"
Hearing the princess praise her son, Su Peng's vanity was most satisfied.
Su Jing'an now knows who Du Xiuyuan is trying to please with his paintings, it turns out to be Princess Linghua!
The emperor listened to this and looked at it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but praise, "Well, it is indeed a masterpiece that does not lose to Du Xiuyuan, Xiao Yunhuai, and Qiu Nanshan!" ”
Emperor Chrysostom said, and for a while, the eyes of those ladies of the family looking at Su Jing'an became even more intense.
Su Zining clenched his fists, with him Su Jing'an for a day, I am afraid that he can only be a second ancestor in the hearts of the world, and there will never be a day to turn over.
Qian and Su Youran both looked at Su Jing'an with jealousy in their eyes, Su Jing'an just smiled faintly, and this scene happened to be captured by Xiao Yunhuai. Xiao Yunhuai glanced at the clothes they were wearing, and at this glance, he found that the family of four was wearing a lot of value, and what Su Jing'an was wearing was obviously from King An's Mansion, although the clothes were not bad, Xiao Yunhuai was still angry for Su Jing, "Sure enough, it is a family of jackals, tigers and leopards!" If his guess was right, then the Qian family didn't plan to let Su Jing'an come to this dinner at all. As for that Su Peng, I'm afraid he brought Su Jing'an here just to satisfy his vanity!
Xiao Yunhuai suddenly felt a little distressed about Su Jing'an, yes, it was distressed! He didn't know how such a breezy person survived in that deep mansion compound?
"There are also cousin's "Beauty Picture" and Qiu Nanshan's "Wind and Rain Map" below!" Princess Linghua gave a serious introduction.
The emperor smiled, what was his daughter's little clever ghost thinking, he knew better than anyone else, but he glanced at Du Xiuyuan, who was sitting beside Qiu Nanshan, meaninglessly, and then turned around to coax his daughter, "Well, the paintings of several of them are not sold, it seems that we Linghua has really put a lot of effort into it!" As soon as these words came out, Princess Hua couldn't help blushing, feeling ashamed and weak-hearted, after all, she was mixed with selfishness.
"Your Majesty, with the princess Zhu Yu in front, I'm afraid that the gifts we are waiting for have become mundane, please don't dislike it!" Qian Guifei got up and blessed the emperor, and personally took over a statue of Guanyin carved from a green jade sent by the palace maid.
Princess Linghua almost didn't vomit when she saw the woman's twisted posture, and rolled her eyes as the palace maid and the little eunuchs put away the paintings.
The emperor believes in Buddhism and is quite satisfied with this gift, "Smile at the flowers, well, your gift is also chic!" Just smiled wrongly, he still seemed a little awkward. He is infatuated with Qian Guifei's appearance, and he also likes the intelligence and sensibility of his third son, but now they are thinking more and more, and they are getting farther and farther away, and he is not satisfied. In the past, Ji Chengyu harmed the Qiu family, and then there was the Xiao Qiu family that sowed discord, and then there was the old general Qiu who was clearly giving gifts and bribing him, which was more or less slapping him in the face. He has a son-in-law, and what the queen is out of is orthodox, "Hey, I blame myself for giving them too much over the years!" The emperor was depressed, but he didn't show it on his face, just handed the gift to the little eunuch behind him, and then returned to the dragon chair and sat down.
Then a group of palace concubines, princes and princesses began to offer gifts, and some of the ministers and family members who were full of them watched it with relish from beginning to end, and some of them were far away, and they already didn't know where they went.
Su Jing'an just sat there quietly, with crooked eyes, long curly eyelashes, curled thin lips, or frowning slightly, or smiling slightly, who could not be captured by him? In the face of the secret send-off of the women in the palace, he didn't know it at all, sometimes drinking a glass of imperial wine, sometimes eating a pastry, as if he was isolated from the world and became a world by himself.
Next is the performance of the daughters and sons of each family, such a banquet is tantamount to a blind date banquet, which everyone knows, so they all came up with their own special skills, and what they are seeking is just a marriage that they and their families are satisfied with.
The first one to perform should have been Princess Linghua, but Princess Linghua said, "Father, the child wants to accompany you to watch the show!" Directly holding the emperor's arm, nesting in the emperor's arms and not going out.
When the emperor saw her sticky, his heart was both comfortable and reluctant, and his daughter still grew up and had a sweetheart. He stroked his daughter's soft long hair for a while, and the bittersweet and bitter entanglement in his heart almost overwhelmed him. He really wanted to send that Du Xiuyuan to a distant place, so that he would never be able to come back and rob his daughter with him in his life. But he was reluctant to make his daughter sad, hey, depressed!
Ji Ronghua never forgot to be in the limelight at any time, so Princess Hua was unwilling, but she generously stepped out of her seat and blessed their bodies, "The son plays a tune for his father, and wishes his father a long life and good health!" ”
"Hmm!" The emperor nodded, and a little eunuch had already brought the qin case and the qin to Ji Ronghua.
Qian Guifei curled the corners of her lips, her daughter must be the most dazzling one in the banquet.
The sound of the piano sounded, melodious, gorgeous, magnificent, and everyone was intoxicated.
Xiao Yunhuai shook his head, slandering in his heart, "Beauty is beautiful, flashy!" The more he listened, the more bored he became, his eyes searched for a few people around him, and he saw that Du Xiuyuan was pushing the cup with Qiu Nanshan to change the lamp, but Su Jing'an over there was as quiet as a virgin rubbing the white jade wrench in his hand, and he didn't realize that the corners of his lips were curled again, it turned out that he was not the only one who felt that this kind of banquet was boring, and he suddenly had the feeling of finding a soulmate.
After the song, the scene remembered thunderous applause, whether it was good to play the piano or to please Qian Guifei, everyone naturally understood in their hearts.
Then the stage performance is the younger princesses, each of them held a special wolf pen, on the red paper wrote a big word, the four of them raised together, "Long live my emperor" four words, the emperor was very happy to see it, clapped his hands again and again, "good, good, good!" It was not easy for four children to write such vigorous and powerful words, which made the emperor feel extremely gratified.
The emperor was happy, and everyone naturally followed suit, and there was another round of warm applause.
Then it was the turn of several young ladies of the great Confucian scholars in the court, and Su Youran was naturally the first. She is performing the pipa today, Su Jing'an knew in her previous life that this sister played the pipa well, and she did not disappoint. A cheerful song to celebrate his birthday was very pleasing, and unconsciously caused a round of applause in the audience.
The most talented of these women are Cui Yingying and Wu Caiwei. Cui Yingying danced an exotic dance, raising her hands and raising her feet in style, her waist and limbs were soft, and her movements were coordinated, and many men present swallowed their saliva.
This Wu Caiwei is also good at dancing with long sleeves, she danced the water sleeve dance, with graceful posture and smart dancing posture, like a frightening dragon, and unconsciously captured the hearts of most of the men present, of course, Ji Rugui, Ji Ruzhang and others are exceptions.
Su Jing'an showed a sarcastic smile, in his previous life, he was extremely infatuated with Wu Caiwei's dancing, but now he feels that this woman is a beautiful snake, no matter how beautiful the dancing posture is, in his opinion, it is a poisonous snake spitting letters.
The next performance was mediocre, and everyone spent half an hour in helplessness.
It's the turn of the male guests, Ji Rugui is the eldest prince, because he is physically disabled, he has to choose to play the flute, his attainments in music and rhythm are not bad, and he has been idle and bored all these years, so this skill has gone to the next level. He chose Xiao Yunhuai and Ji Ruzhang as teammates, and I have to say that this lineup is gorgeous enough and eye-catching.
Xiao Yunhuai stroked the qin, Ji Ruzhang danced the sword, and the three of them cooperated tacitly, once again setting off the climax of the scene.
The melodious sound of the piano carries the taste of the pride and dry clouds, and the artistic conception of the quiet and inaction, which unconsciously brings the people present into the piano music.
Ji Ruzhang's sword dance is done in one go, and every move and every momentum is full of the air of a tyrant, and at the same time it has an elegant beauty. The military generals present were all enthusiastic, and the ladies and ladies were heartbeating.
"Good!" The emperor took the lead and stood up and applauded, and Princess Linghua also looked honored.
This is probably the best performance Su Jing'an has seen tonight, Su Jing'an couldn't help but boil with his blood, and his eyes became deeper and deeper, "No matter what, in this life and this life, I will not let these three outstanding men be defeated by Ji Chengyu and the Qian family." "Compared with Ji Chengyu as the emperor, he would rather see Ji Ruzhang as the emperor.
The applause of the audience rang out again, like thunder, and the roof of the hall was about to be overturned.
"Hahaha, you three stinky boys, today is really an eye-opener for me!" Emperor Wende pointed at the three of them, his face full of admiration from the elders looking at the juniors.
"Erchen (minister) is ugly!" Ji Ruzhang and Xiao Yunhuai stood side by side, Ji Rugui was in a wheelchair, and the three of them bowed to the emperor, which was recognized by the emperor, and the hearts of the three were quite open.
Qian clenched his hands in disbelief, Ji Chengyu knew that no matter what he performed next, he was destined to fall behind, and he couldn't help sighing.
Ji Ronghua looked at the unhappy faces of his mother and brother, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Yunhuai, Xiao Yunhuai, it must be your bad water again!" In order to avoid being noticed, it disappeared immediately. Instead, it is still as glamorous as a peach and plum, and it is stunning. What she didn't know was that these were not from Xiao Yunhuai, and the people behind them had already been excluded by them. Now she is sitting in a wheelchair, enjoying the love of her father and the care of Ji Ruzhang.
