Chapter 282: Congratulatory Gift
Anyway, in the eyes of my sister, the life of a willful princess is not unacceptable.
The queen said displeased, "You'd better watch the way you speak. ”
"The queen wants me to flatter and not tell the truth?"
"Forget that, you'd better pay attention tonight, this palace doesn't want to cause any more trouble. ”
The sister said, "Thanks for the reminder." ”
Back in the seat, Sister Yan communicated with other people, and everyone had a little more heart.
The auspicious time is approaching, and everyone gathers together and lines up in turn.
The emperor and queen appeared, everyone saluted and congratulated, and after some speeches, the birthday banquet officially began.
After three or five glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
The countries began to give gifts, and other gifts have been put into the warehouse, and this most important part will be offered in person in today's main hall, which also has the meaning of the contest between countries.
Qi is a small country, but sent a precious gold silk weaving feather nine dragon embroidered brocade ten horses, this brocade only three years to get a horse, ten thousand gold is hard to find, Emperor Chu is quite satisfied.
Qi came this time is the son of the emperor's uncle, the emperor's family is a rare pragmatic person in the Qi country, this time in addition to coming to congratulate the birthday, there is also a thing, that is, to establish a trade route with the Chu country, the Chu country and the Qi country do not border, but the demand between each other is not small, if the trade route can be established, it will be beneficial to both countries.
Moreover, Uncle Huang believes that he has always relied on the Shang country to snort, and he can only be a small country without strength, so he must seek a way out.
Emperor Chu is also considering this matter, comparing that the two countries do not share a border, and it is not easy to open up a trade route.
After the four countries gave out the gifts one by one, Emperor Chu praised them, and everyone also watched these rare treasures from far or near.
After the envoys, according to their status and status, they should be the princes of Chu State, the emperor's relatives, major families, and dozens of important ministers of the imperial court to present gifts in turn.
And Shen Qiu of the School Palace stood up in front of King Ye, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor sent a message, saying that it is inconvenient to come to your Majesty in person to congratulate you on your birthday, send a congratulatory gift, and let the ministers dedicate it to Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty on a thousand years." ”
The emperor was interested, and said happily, "Quick, take it out and let me see it." ”
The hearts of others are naturally turning over the river and the sea, the emperor has always been in everyone's hearts, appearing in the mouth, but out of the handwritten letter a few months ago, there is no other action, today in the lobby, in front of the envoys of various countries, let people give gifts, I don't know what the intention is.
Shen Qiu didn't care what they thought, he beckoned outside, and two people came in, each holding a long wooden box.
Everyone craned their necks to see what kind of treasure it was, and it didn't look like a rare treasure.
That's right, before the emperor didn't show up, it wasn't a real job, although the school palace didn't know the depths, but the emperor shouldn't be able to use the property of the school palace privately, so he shouldn't be able to afford any treasures.
But as long as it comes from the hands of the emperor, it is worth a lot if it is worthless.
The envoys of the four countries have mixed tastes in their hearts, the emperor of Chu has always been a contradictory and terrible existence, for hundreds of years, for the Chu State to solve many catastrophes, but there are outside the imperial power, the authority is great, and the emperor trusts.
The emperor of Chu, in addition to his prestige in Chu, is also very shocking in other countries.
The emperor came up at this time, and he must have his intentions.
Under the watchful eye, Shen Qiu took one of the boxes and looked at the markings on it.
"This thing was given by Emperor Fengyu. ”
The box opened, and inside was a scroll, which looked like a painting, but it was still a very large painting.
Gonggong Xu hurriedly walked down from Emperor Chu's side, and together with Shen Qiu, he unfolded the painting.
The painting is horizontal, obviously not a figure picture, the length is more than two zhang, and the painting is aimed at the emperor and queen on the high platform, and others can't see it.
I saw that the emperor's face showed admiration, and a smile appeared, obviously he liked it very much.
Shen Qiu said, "This is Wu Zi's thousand-mile map of rivers and mountains, and the emperor wishes His Majesty eternal stability." ”
Emperor Chu held his beard and said, "Not bad, yes, bring it close and let me take a good look." ”
Shen Qiu and Gonggong Xu, carefully holding the painting, took three steps forward, Emperor Chu looked at it obsessively, "Sure enough, it is Wu Zi's painting, the country is so delicate, only Wu Zi can draw this delicate character." ”
Wu Zi is the first person to paint landscapes in the past 500 years, descendants only know Wu Zi's surname Wu, because of his unparalleled attainments in painting skills, he is respected as Wu Zi, and he is also Emperor Chu's favorite painter.
Some people with high status, hearing this, couldn't help it, secretly ran to the front, stretched their necks to see.
With the emperor's old uncle as the most, he is also the most favorite Wu Zi's paintings, but unfortunately many paintings have been collected by the emperor, and now I see this famous painting that has been lost for many years, and the joy is naturally difficult to suppress.
When the emperor saw them like this, he was not unhappy in his heart, so he said generously, "Uncle Huang, this time you lost to me again, and the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is also mine, Shen Qiu, turn around and show them." ”
Uncle Huang said, "Alas, I haven't found it for many years, Your Majesty is only sitting, and the baby comes to the door, and the minister is really unconvinced." ”
Emperor Chu laughed, "I have also been looking for many years, but the baby needs a chance." ”
Shen Qiu and Xu Gonggong cooperated to show the painting to everyone.
Uncle Huang didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly approached, looking obsessed, with a sad and joyful face and contradictions.
Happily, I can still see this painting in my lifetime, and sadly, I can only go to my stingy nephew in the future and look at it a few times to comfort me.
The people here are more or less knowledgeable, the value of this painting, no worse than the treasure at the bottom of the box sent by various countries, even if you don't know how to paint, you can feel the majestic momentum when you see this painting.
People with a heart naturally associate the picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with the meaning next to it, and feel that the emperor is hinting at something.
It's just that I can only think about it in my own heart.
After showing it to everyone for a while, Shen Qiu put away the painting and put it back in the box.
The imperial uncle was still looking at the box and was distracted, calculating in his heart how much might it be for His Majesty to give him the painting, but it seemed impossible to count left and right.
Shen Qiu took out another box as a gift, which was a sword.
"This is the Yulong Sword sent by Emperor Huangyu. ”
As he spoke, he took out the sword and drew the long sword, the cold light was still there, and a cold breath came from the blade.
Yulong Sword is the sword of Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty seven hundred years ago, a Yulong Sword, commanding the royal division, recovering the territory of 3,000 miles, is a real imperial sword.
The envoys of various countries felt a slight chill in their hearts, the congratulatory gifts of these two emperors did not seem to be simple, and the intention was really impossible to ignore.
This sword is a bloodthirsty fierce sword, lost for hundreds of years, and now that it is born, I am afraid it will not be easily unsheathed.
Emperor Chu was also a little agitated in his heart, it seems that the emperor has already secretly paid attention to it, although the loss of Shang Guozhao is not small, but the emperor is the hole card of Chu State.
"Bring me the sword. ”
The sword is a little heavy, I don't know if the meaning is too heavy, or the history is too heavy, Emperor Wu of Zhou is an extremely great emperor, for seven hundred years, he is the only person who controls this sword.
Holding the sword, swinging it a few times, and putting the sword into the sheath, everyone intuitively felt light.
Someone hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The gift given by the emperor really makes me feel ashamed, two treasures that have been lost for hundreds of years are now returned to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really blessed." ”
The people here, the people of the Shang State, were the most shaken, and the contradictions between the Shang State and the Chu State were increasing day by day.
Although Lian Yu was frightened, he was not afraid, Chu Guo's hole cards were about to be dispatched so soon, what else was there to be afraid of.
And Cui Yue thought that the emperor of Chu was demonstrating, and she was naturally unhappy in her heart, but she was just giving congratulatory gifts, which was impeccable.
Fang Cai still felt that people had no money, but now they are rare treasures as soon as they make a move, and everyone is speechless in their hearts.
Who knows that such a baby will be filled like this with two ordinary wooden boxes, and I don't know where the baby was placed before, so it won't be placed in Shen Qiu's house, if the news is released early, Shen Qiu's family is estimated to have turned the world upside down.
Shen Qiu received the condemning glances of many acquaintances, such an important matter, there was no rumor at all, especially the old emperor's uncle, his angry intestines were repentant, and he knew to go to Shen Qiu's house more.
Shen Qiu received these two things at that time, out of respect, he didn't dare to open them, thinking that such an ordinary thing was not a special treasure, and these two boxes, if they were not engraved with the two marks of phoenix and phoenix, they didn't know that they were congratulatory gifts from His Majesty.
I put it in the secret compartment of the study for several days, and it was not until I took it out today that I was ready to give it away, so I opened it to see it in order to have a bottom in my heart, and I jumped down when I saw it.
I even had the idea of keeping it for myself.
I just looked at it a few more times and touched it for a while, and I was even more sorry, and it hurt even more, so I had to pretend to be nostalgic and give it away.
The emperor is the emperor, and such a treasure can be sent casually.
However, what the emperor values should be the meaning of things.
The eldest princess thought on the side, and she had to reassess the strength of the Chu State.
With the emperor's gift Zhuyu in front, other people's gifts naturally can't go beyond them, after all, one is to fulfill His Majesty's wish, and the other has great significance.
Finally, the gift is over.
When the song and dance begin, everyone can move freely.
The secret contest between the countries has begun again.
A noble girl of the Jin Kingdom held the piano, walked out, and offered a song of the piano, this woman is also famous in the five countries, it is said that the musical talent is excellent, this time with the mission, one is to see, and the other is to come to the first of the five countries.
Her piano is naturally incomparable to someone in the Fengyue Place, and she is worthy of being a person who has the confidence to win the first place in the Five Kingdoms.
Since it is a birthday celebration, it is naturally a joyful song, in the piano song, there are not many such songs, and the music she plays, such as the warm sun of three springs, is heartbreaking.
Everyone was immersed in it, and at the end of the song, Emperor Chu was rewarded.
Dare to perform in front of the emperor, presumably because he is extremely confident in himself.
Everyone tacitly appreciated it.
The old man Wang among the envoys of the Shang Kingdom began to make trouble again, I don't know if he is relying on himself to be an envoy, and people are not to blame.
"I saw Miss Xie wearing a long waist Xiao, I heard that Miss Xie's music, ordinary people are not allowed to listen to it, the last time the envoy went back, he reflected on himself, and felt that he should not misunderstand Miss Xie for the sake of one side, so Miss Xie might as well show her musical attainments. ”
This person is really a thief, knowing that there is a performance that is inevitable for the first rhythm of the Five Kingdoms in front of him, and he asked his sister to show it, obviously because he wanted his sister to make a fool of himself.
