There was a breath of silence in the hall.

As the crown prince of the Celestial Dynasty, he took the lead in offering a birthday gift, and the gift was grand and valuable, and Ling Tianhai was very satisfied.

The ministers also nodded.

Ling Xi'er was sitting on the hall, her eyes kept falling on Ling Xuan, who was silent with her head bowed, and she was a little distracted.

After being secretly reminded by Xiao Ling, who was standing on the side, Ling Xi'er reacted at this time, and then remembered an important matter. Then he waved his hand to Xiao Ling, which means "bring it", Xiao Ling nodded, stretched out her hand to the back of her waist, fumbled for a breath, and then took out a scroll, which was obviously a painting scroll, but I don't know if it was a painting or an inscription.

Ling Xi'er took the scroll, got up and walked to His Highness, bowed and saluted, "Father, Xi'er also has a gift for Father." ”

Hearing what Ling Xi'er said, Ling Tianhai glanced at the Queen Mother on the side, then showed a slight smile and asked, "Xi'er, won't it be some fine products made of jade, gold and silver?"

"No, father, Xi'er is preparing for this birthday gift very carefully this year, although it only took two days, but Xi'er did it herself!"

Ling Xi'er's tone was a little louder, as if there was some doubt about her labor, and then gradually became smaller, and then her voice became louder again, and her appearance was very cute.

Ling Rui looked at his lovely sister, his eyes lit up slightly, and said, "Xi'er, you say this, I'm very interested in Brother Prince, let's show it quickly!"

Ling Tianhai said: "Yes, Xi'er, hearing you say this, my father is also looking forward to it." ”

"Yes, Father. ”

Ling Xi'er happily opened the scroll slowly, showing the contents to everyone, Ling Xuan also raised his head at this time, cast his gaze, with anticipation, he wanted to know the results of Ling Xi'er's two days of teaching.

If it is not satisfactory, he seems to be a little unbearable as a teacher.

Although Ling Xi'er was not fully opened, she could see that it was a pair of handwriting.

In less than a moment, a complete handwriting was fully revealed.

The whole calligraphy and painting is not big or small, and the title has four big characters "Shoubi Four Elephants". The four characters are like a shock, each stroke is strong and powerful, but the overall look is smooth, the show is fresh, although it can be seen that the inscription is very jerky and very penmanship, the effect is not bad.

Ling Tianhai nodded, and said in surprise: "Xi'er, is this really written by yourself?"

"Yes, Father. ”

Ling Xi'er said loudly, with a little smugness in her tone, and secretly glanced at Ling Xuan on the side, Ling Xuan nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied, seeing Ling Xuan nodding in approval, it seemed that Ling Xi'er was even more pleased.

Ling Tianhai was very happy and said, "Very good, but how to solve the four elephants in this "Shoubi Four Elephants"?"

Ling Xi'er said: "The four elephants refer to the four places on the continent, the Western Wilderness, the Northern Snow Mountain, the Eastern Green Lake, and the extremely cold land of the Southern Barbarians. These four seasons have been the same for thousands of years, and they are the four wonders of the world, and Xi'er hopes that his father can live like these four places and live for a long time. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and praised: "Xi'er can have such an insight, it really amazes the imperial grandmother!"

Ling Tianhai also nodded, but as if suddenly, there was a little disbelief in his eyes, "Xi'er, I see that you don't study well and practice calligraphy on weekdays, but when I see you today, I really amazed my father, but these are really your own doings?"

Ling Xi'er lowered her head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I really can't escape the eyes of my father, these are not only my efforts, but this is all thanks to the fact that I have a good teacher." ”

"Oh?"

Ling Tianhai was a little puzzled and said, "Good teacher, isn't it just a master?"

As soon as he heard what Ling Xi'er said, Ling Tianhai thought of the princes who had taught Ling Xi'er knowledge, but it was not just one or two who taught Ling Xi'er, Ling Xi'er didn't like to learn, she really didn't look like a princess, and it gave many Taifu masters a headache, in their words, "rotten wood can't be carved".

At this time, Ling Xi'er smiled, then walked to Ling Xuan's side playfully and cutely, whether Ling Xuan wanted it or not, pulled it to the center, and said with some pride: "Father, this is Xi'er's teacher, the words are written by him who taught Xi'er, and the four elephants of Shoubi are also what he said to Xi'er." ”

When Ling Rui saw this scene, he smiled slightly, thinking to himself when the third brother had such a good relationship with Xi'er?

Zhao Hai's face was gloomy, and he tilted his head and whispered to Zhao Chuan, who was also cold, on the side: "Dad, that's why I won't tell you." ”

The thing he mentioned between his words was that he did not mention to Zhao Chuan the fact that the murderer of Zhao Yang had returned, at first listening to Zhao Hai's explanation, he was still puzzled, but now seeing is believing, he is really shocked, after the shock, he is angry and unwilling, his eyes are even more ruthless, and the killing intent is fierce.

It turns out that you still have such a relationship with the princess, and the person who came is not good!

In addition to his cold eyes, Mrs. Yan also frowned.

Ling Tianhai raised his eyes to look at Ling Xuan, looked at him and said, "You are the teacher that Xi'er said?"

Ling Xuan hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "The grass people don't dare to be, it's the princess who praises the grass people, and the grass people don't dare to be ashamed." ”

Seeing this, Ling Wu's face was calm, but his heart tightened slightly, and he was worried.

Ling Tianhai smiled lightly, he was indeed very happy today, "Little grass people, young but with such knowledge, it is really a blessing of my Heavenly Empire!"

Ling Tianhai's words moved everyone present, and they couldn't help but glance at Ling Xuan more.

"Just ......"

Ling Tianhai was slightly puzzled, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Wu, and said, "Imperial Brother, I really didn't expect that this talented young man was actually your Imperial Brother. ”

Hearing this, Ling Wu got up and said, "Brother Huang, in fact, he is not a person who is a younger brother, how is it to be specific, let him talk to Brother Huang!"

"Oh?"

Ling Tianhai turned his head to look at Ling Xuan, and a strong curiosity rose in his heart.

Ling Xuan glanced at Ling Wu, the two looked at each other, Ling Xuan nodded lightly, he knew what Ling Wu meant.

Ling Xuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the grass people are a friend of the third prince of Xuanwangfu, and they were entrusted by him to come to the Holy Heavenly City to enroll in the Changqi Academy, to serve the Celestial Empire, and by the way, to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday." The grass people are here to wish His Majesty the sun and moon to be prosperous, and the pine cranes to be long. ”

There is no flaw in this statement, and outsiders do not see anything wrong with it.

Ling Tianhai didn't care about Ling Xuan's congratulatory message, but was a little surprised by his identity, "You mean you're Xuan'er's friend?"

Ling Xuan nodded.

Hearing this, the expressions of many ministers changed slightly.

Ling Xi'er on the side seemed to have lost her mind, and said in a lost voice: "You are a friend of the third brother?"

Ling Xuan turned his head to look at Ling Xi'er and smiled slightly and nodded.

After coming back to her senses, Ling Xi'er was not angry, but even happier.

Murong Yiyi looked at Ling Xuan from afar, his face was indifferent, but he was smiling in his heart, thinking, seeing that you are usually honest and gentle, I didn't expect to be so good at lying.

Nangong Hongyu and Nangong Yu, who had not spoken, were also surprised.

Zhao Chuan squinted at Ling Xuan and said secretly, I didn't expect this kid to have such a relationship with Xuanwangfu, no wonder it was so horizontal.

Zhao Chuan and Mrs. Yan glanced at each other, and the two of them tacitly understood it.

There were some things that the younger generation didn't know, but they remembered them clearly.

Zhao Chuan squinted at Ling Wu slightly, gritted his teeth, and didn't know what he was thinking.
