Every Full Moon Festival, the emperor holds a banquet in the palace to entertain the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and their families, which is also a long-standing tradition in the country of Feng.

The venue of the banquet is set in the Imperial Garden, and those who can participate in the royal feast are all above the third rank, and the title is above the first rank.

On this day, the palace was particularly lively.

Since Tang Ling ascended the throne, all the three thousand harems have disappeared, and the entire palace has become much deserted.

The arrival of the ministers, especially the arrival of the female relatives of the minister's family, added a lot of color to the imperial garden.

Hailey was also among Tang Ling's invitations. Her arrival immediately aroused the discussion of the female dependents.

The women and ladies of the nobility whispered in a low voice. "She is the daughter of the Duke of Reina of Besa, and she was exiled to our country after nine deaths!" "I heard that she is friends with His Majesty and His Royal Highness!" "She doesn't look very good, so rude, not at all like a lady!"

Hayley is not rude, but she is tall and big, which is very different from the slender and petite figure of a woman in the Wind Country.

Hayley heard the surrounding chatter, but ignored it, her exile and sojourn in the Windy Country was a fact, and there was nothing to argue with.

It didn't take long for King Ping's Tang brand to arrive.

Tang Xuan was originally transferred to Anyang to investigate the robbery of Guanyin, he went all the way to the mountains and rivers, but before he arrived in Anyang, Guanyin was chased back by Shuratang, he just didn't want to go to Anyang, after hearing about this, he immediately went back to his home and returned to Beijing.

Seeing Tang Xuan, the free prince, the ministers and their families present stood up one after another to salute, and the voices of greetings came and went.

Tang Xuan put his hands behind his back, held his chest straight, and walked in all directions, completely ignoring the people around him, his eyes were high above the top, and he looked like he was pulling twenty-five or eighty-thousand, which made people itch when they saw the root of their teeth, but because he was a prince, no one dared to offend him.

Led by the palace maid to his seat, he looked up at the two empty chairs in the center of the front and asked, "Your Majesty has not arrived yet?"

"Return to the prince, Your Majesty is almost here. The palace maid replied.

"Your Majesty has not arrived, and it is understandable, but what kind of thing is he Shangguanxiu, why is he putting such a big stinky shelf in front of this king?!" Tang Xuan complained dissatisfiedly and sat down angrily.

Cai Xiao and Song Sheng, who were sitting not far away, looked at each other and smiled, with Tang Xuan present, he would wait for a while to watch a good show.

When everyone arrived, Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling finally appeared at the banquet scene in the Imperial Garden. With the arrival of the two of them, the ministers and their families present knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness Chitose!"

"All Aiqing, let's be flat!" Tang Ling waved his hand gracefully and generously, walking side by side with Shangguan Xiu. Everyone present got up one after another, sitting upright one by one, and many people were also secretly looking at Shangguan Xiu who was walking beside Tang Ling from the corner of their eyes.

Shangguan Xiu has been fighting abroad for many years, and he is not often in Shangjing, and there are not many people who have seen him, especially the family members of the ministers, who have always only heard of his name and have not seen him.

He is not very old, only twenty-three years old, with deep facial features and a handsome appearance, but his handsomeness is not the feminine handsomeness of Xiaobai's face, and there is a sense of fortitude and toughness between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, full of masculinity.

Walking to Tang Ling's side, instead of being suppressed by Tang Ling's momentum, he also exuded a sharp aura that could not be ignored.

The most eye-catching is his pair of eagle eyes and the two strands of silver hair on his chest, between the flow of falcon eyes, there seems to be electric light, which makes people dare not look directly, and the silver hair on his chest is contrary to his age, giving people a sense of crane hair and childish face.

Seeing Shangguanxiu's appearance clearly, there were exclamations from time to time at the scene. Of course Tang Ling heard it, she smiled, walked forward with Shangguan Xiu, and whispered: "It seems that my husband's appearance is very attractive. ”

The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth twitched twice, and he also whispered: "No matter how beautiful the skin is, it can't compare to Neixiu." ”

"Husband, are you praising me?"

"Xiang'er is very self-aware. ”

When Tang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but giggle. On weekdays, Tang Ling rarely has such a relaxed time, even if he laughs, he does not show his teeth when he laughs, and it is impossible to laugh out loud, at this time, she made the ministers on the left and right look straight, and they all secretly sighed in their hearts, the beauty of His Majesty is really rare in the world, even if it is described with such gorgeous rhetoric as the national color and natural fragrance and the elegance of the peerless generation, it also seems to be overshadowed, and it is not appropriate.

After the two of them sat down, a young and beautiful woman stood up, holding a pair of embroidery in both hands, walked to Tang Ling's table, and said, "This is a gift that the courtiers have been making for Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Duke of the Kingdom for several days. ”

A female official next to her stepped forward, took the embroidery in her hand, and sent it to Tang Ling. Tang Ling raised his head with a smile and said, "Unfold it and show me." ”

The female officer unfolded the embroidery, and the embroidery was a lifelike pair of two dragons playing with pearls.

It can be seen that the craftsmanship of this embroidery can be called the pinnacle, the lines are bright, the stitches are lively, the patterns are beautiful, the colors are harmonious, and every stitch and thread contains great effort in it.

However, after everyone at the scene saw the pattern of the two dragons playing with pearls clearly, their faces changed the same.

She said that it was a gift to His Majesty and the Duke of the Kingdom, obviously referring to His Majesty and the Duke of the Kingdom as two dragons, so the implication is tantamount to putting the Duke of the Kingdom on an equal footing with His Majesty, which is already suspected of trespassing.

But to everyone's great surprise, instead of getting angry, Tang Ling looked up and laughed, stroked his palm and praised: "The embroidery is good, I haven't seen such a superb embroidery for many years." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the flower-like girl below, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and had not yet reached the age of Jilu, and asked with a smile: "This embroidery, but it is from your hand?"

"It was embroidered by the courtier's own hand!"

"Hmm!" Tang Ling nodded appreciatively and asked, "Which girl are you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Yi stood up, bowed down, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the dog girl Xiuchun, which makes Your Majesty smile." "How dare a woman from an ordinary minister's family give such a profound embroidery as the two dragons playing with pearls. Qiu Yi is a person who is good at figuring out other people's thoughts, and he has seen the glue between Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu, so he asked his daughter to embroider such a picture of two dragons playing with pearls, which seems to be suspected of trespassing, but in fact, it is a different way, doing what he likes, and winning by surprise, which is impressive.

Tang Ling laughed and said, "She is worthy of Lord Qiu's daughter, and she is really a rare talented woman in my gale." As she spoke, her gaze fell back on Qiu Xiuchun's body, and she asked with a smile, "How old is Xiuchun this year?"

Qiu Xiuchun hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the courtier's seventeen." ”

"Seventeen, it's time for the meeting next year, Xiuchun's ceremony of the meeting will be presided over by me, are you willing?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of inhalation in the banquet scene. Most of the women's gifts are presided over by their parents, and it must be a great honor to be able to get His Majesty personally to preside over the ceremony, which is enough to be recorded in the family tree and glorify the ancestors.

The little girl was stupid when she heard this, she stood in place, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and Qiu Yi didn't think that she could please His Majesty so much and get such a heavy reward.

He was also stunned for a while before he reacted, coughed lowly, and said, "Xiuchun, don't thank Your Majesty soon!"

"Courtier, Your Majesty Xie, Your Majesty Xie, Longen!" How could the woman cultivated by the Shi clan gate lord family be an idle person? Qiu Xiuchun also reacted quickly, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Seeing this, although Cai Xiao and Song Sheng still had smiles on their faces, their hearts were already overturned.

This painting of two dragons playing with pearls, at the very least, can be convicted of not being subordinate, but His Majesty not only did not get angry, but also rewarded the Qiu family, His Majesty did this, undoubtedly agreeing with the meaning of the two dragons playing with pearls, and the weight of Shangguan Xiu in His Majesty's heart can be seen from this.

In the future, if you want to bring down Shangguan Xiu, it will undoubtedly become more difficult.

After Qiu Xiuchun thanked him, he retreated. Tang Ling said to the female official next to him: "Put up this embroidery watch and hang it in the dormitory of the Duke of China and the Kingdom." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the Qiu family had received such a heavy reward, Shen Jin, the secretary of the Inner History Mansion, couldn't sit still, he picked up the teacup, and then took the opportunity to drink tea, and looked sideways at his daughter.

A woman sitting among the ladies understood, holding a long brocade box, walked to Tang Ling's table, blessed herself, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from the courtiers to Your Majesty." ”

Tang Ling smiled and waved his hand. The palace maid stepped forward, took the brocade box, opened it, and placed a picture scroll inside. The palace maid took out the scroll and opened it, and a picture of a peony was painted on it.

The thought used in this peony picture is not less than the embroidery of the two dragons playing with pearls just now, the colors are bright, the flowers are splendid, vivid, at the moment when the picture scroll unfolds, there are a lot of exclamations on the scene, people all give a thumbs up in their hearts, and praise Shen Jinjia's daughter for her outstanding talent and exquisite painting skills, even compared with the national teacher, it is not far behind.

But after Tang Ling saw this peony picture, the smile on his face immediately stiffened, and his face sank instantly.

She looked at the woman below with her eyes like lightning, her tone was cold, and she said in a condensed voice word by word: "You are so bold, dare to bully me like this?!"

When Cai Xiao and Song Sheng saw this peony picture, their faces also changed, and they secretly screamed in their hearts.

However, Shen Jin is a person from the Inner History Mansion after all, Cai Xiao has nothing to do with himself, and he can still sit still, but he secretly scolded Shen Jin in his heart for being confused and asking for his own bad luck.

Song Sheng is the Minister of Internal History, the leader of the Internal History Mansion, Shen Jin wants to please His Majesty, he is happy to see it, but now that he is patted on the horse's leg, he can't sit idly by. He turned his head and glared at Shen Jin angrily, and scolded in a gloomy voice: "Lord Shen, don't let Ling Yuan take back the painting quickly!"
