Chapter 20: The Difficult Dongfang Jue
I saw a pine tree and a butterfly painted on rice paper. Take a closer look at the pine tree, which is composed of the words "Queen Mother's Ten Thousand Blessings and Jin'an" and "Longevity Without Borders", and a few words are formed by many flowers and plants. The butterfly is composed of a few words given by Zhang Mengjie.
This calligraphy and painting was liked by one of Zhang Jingxian's best friends when she was a child, so she took her to learn it together, but her friend got tired of learning it for a few days, but she learned it. The modern Zhang Jing is particularly fond of butterflies, so she made her name in the shape of a butterfly.
Naturally, dyes can't be compared with modern pigments, the effect is worse, and the time spent is longer, of course, this also has the element of Zhang Mengjie deliberately delaying time.
However, these are new to people in this era, and the effect can be imagined. However, it took Zhang Mengjie a lot of time to learn this traditional Chinese character last night.
"Okay, the queen really didn't disappoint the mourning family, this mourning family likes it." Murong Xue's voice appeared in everyone's surprise.
Zhang Mengjie said: "It's good if the queen mother likes it." ”
Dongfang Jue said: "I didn't expect that the first beauty in Dragon City would have such talents, which surprised this king." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "The prince of the East has won the award, how can this little skill of carving insects in this palace be compared with the talent of the queen of Changyi City." ”
Dongfang Jue didn't respond when he heard Zhang Mengjie's words, but smiled.
After the calligraphy and painting were almost done, Zhang Mengjie handed over the calligraphy and painting to Murong Xue and said: "Everyone has seen the gifts of this palace, I don't know what else you have to see?" ”
Dongfang Jue said: "After seeing the calligraphy and painting of the first beauty in Longcheng, it is a little boring to look at others, yesterday's Shanglian King did not hear it with his own ears, it is better to say it again, take this opportunity to think about it again." ”
In fact, except for those who want to know who can make the next link, they all want to forget about this matter, especially Yu Xizhao, it was not easy for him to get his father to agree to bring the Jade Xuanjian to him, how could he not know the importance of this Jade Xuanjian to the Jade Yarn Country. Since listening to Shanglian, he regretted taking the Jade Xuan Sword as a bet, but when someone mentioned it, his face couldn't help but be a little ugly.
"Qiangossip, Kun gossip, eight-eight sixty-four trigrams, hexagram Qiankun has been decided." Zhang Mengjie didn't have any extra words, only said Shanglian. Seeing that everyone fell into contemplation again, she said: "The palace sees that the weather is a little hot now, and everyone must not be able to devote themselves wholeheartedly. After speaking, let Qingfeng go to the imperial dining room to have a look.
After a while, I saw Qingfeng coming over with a few guards carrying a few large wooden barrels, followed by a few imperial chefs.
Waiting for the guards to put down the wooden barrel, Zhang Mengjie immediately asked Qingyu, Chunlan, and Qiuju to help Qingfeng and the imperial cook. Seeing this, Murong Xue also asked the other palace maids to help out, and soon there was an extra bowl of fruit cold drinks in front of everyone. Looking at the white mist rising in the bowl, people couldn't help but taste it, and after tasting this cold feeling, it suddenly made people feel a lot refreshed.
Dongfang Jue looked at Zhang Mengjie and said, "This is what you asked the imperial dining room to do?" ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Dongfang Jue said: "You have made this king more and more interested. ”
Long Tingxiao, who was sitting next to Zhang Mengjie, listened to Dongfang Jue's words, and although he didn't say anything, his face was obviously a little unhappy.
Zhang Mengjie said: "This palace is just a common man like everyone else, the prince of the East doesn't have to bother to understand, or think about this couplet, this palace doesn't want to take people's favor." ”
Dongfang Jue said: "It's okay, this sword is gone, this king believes that the sword builder of Changyi City can make a better one, and Zhang Mengjie has only one." ”
Zhang Mengjie couldn't resist Dongfang Jue's honesty, so she kept her mouth shut.
Time was passing by minute by second, and the ministers and envoys present were a little anxious except for Dongfang Jue, who was calmly eating and drinking.
Taking advantage of this time, Murong Xue said: "If you really can't think of it, you might as well relax first." As he spoke, Gong E continued to dance.
Dongfang Jue said: "This king sees that no one can match this couplet except for the person who came out of the couplet, Mengjie, you really don't know this couplet?" ”
Zhang Mengjie saw everyone's look of anticipation and said: "I couldn't think of this connection before, but I accidentally saw the residence of this palace last night, which really made this palace think of it." ”
Murong Xue said: "The queen's residence is actually related to this couplet, which is strange, and the mourning family can't wait to know the queen's couplet." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "Luan nine sounds, Feng nine sounds, nine hundred and eighty-one sounds, the sound of Luan and Feng together." ”
Dongfang Jue said: "What a voice, Luan and Feng are singing, listening to Jie'er's meaning, but she is begging the emperor for joy?" ”
Zhang Mengjie just wanted to say this couplet, never thought that this couplet had such a meaning, and before she could speak, Dongfang Jue said again: "This king has heard that the emperor has never recognized Jie'er as his queen, and this phoenix seal is still in the emperor's place, no wonder there are people in the harem of Dragon City who do not recognize Jie'er as the queen of Dragon City like this king." Why don't you follow this king from now on and be the queen of Changyi City in the future? ”
Zhang Mengjie found out that Dongfang Jue went from the first beauty in Longcheng to Mengjie and then to Jie'er, and she never called her a queen from beginning to end, if it was a beloved who called her this nickname, it would naturally be a happy thing, but when she heard Dongfang Jue call Zhang Mengjie, she felt uncomfortable: "But the emperor has never denied the palace, even if the emperor denies the palace, the palace believes that the prince of the east may not meet the requirements of the palace." ”
Dongfang Jue said: "Oh, Jie'er still has requirements, Jie'er doesn't say it, how do you know that this king can't do it." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "One life and one couple, can the prince of the East do it?" ”
Dongfang Jue said: "This king sees that there are many more women in the harem of Dragon City than in this king's palace, why don't Jie'er say it, but if Jie'er likes it, this king can dismiss the women of this king in the palace." ”
Zhang Mengjie said: "The position of the queen of Longcheng is the powerlessness of the palace set by the father and the former emperor of the palace, and the prince of the East is discussing with the palace, and the palace naturally has its own conditions. However, this palace wants not to say that this condition is this person, and this palace may not accept it if the emperor and the queen of Changyi City want to. ”
Dongfang Jue said: "This king will find a way." ”
Zhang Mengjie felt that she really couldn't communicate with Dongfang Jue, is it appropriate to blatantly rob other people's women in front of so many people, he doesn't want to be ashamed, but she still has to save face.
Fortunately, at this time, Long Tingxiao said: "The queen has been unwell since she entered the palace, I don't want the queen to work too hard before her body recovers, so I didn't hand over the phoenix seal to the queen, I don't want the queen to remind me in this way, causing the prince of the East and the prince of Xizhao to lose the sword is my negligence, this phoenix seal I will personally send it to the Luan Feng Hall tonight, if the two of them are reluctant to take the sword and I am not reluctant, it should be regarded as entertainment for everyone." ”
Dongfang Jue said: "I am willing to lose the bet, this king said that if I lose this sword, I believe that the swordsmith of Changyi City will make a better sword." Saying that, he motioned for Guo Xi to hand over the sword to them, and Yu Xizhao had no choice but to hand over the jade sword when he saw this.
