The residence of the Four Princes.

In the garden, the fourth prince Ming Guangji is feeding the fish by the pool.

"The Four Princes, the Four Princes, the Beauty Picture, the Beauty Picture is finished. A little guy ran in excitedly, shouting as he ran.

"It's done!" the fourth prince stopped his hand and looked at the red-faced little guy who was running.

"Yes, that Wang Hongyi said it himself!" the little guy nodded hurriedly.

Throwing all the remaining fish food in his hand into the pool, Ming Guangji pulled his legs and ran in the direction of Wang Hongyi, he couldn't wait for someone to show him.

When Wang Hongyi took the cloth off the scroll and the whole picture of beauty was displayed in front of Ming Guangji's eyes, his eyes were almost about to pop out.

"This can really be called the best beauty in the world. Ming Guangji walked to the front of the painting and carefully observed the person in the painting.

"Hahaha, the painting is good, the painting is really good!" Ming Guangji smiled and gave a thumbs up to Wang Hongyi behind him, "I am very satisfied with this beauty picture, I have also seen your painting skills, I will recommend you to go to the palace to be a court painter." ”

"Thank you to the four princes for their love. The words of the fourth prince did not make Wang Hongyi's face show much excitement, he looked at the beauty picture in the hands of the four princes, and just lowered his head with a lonely face.

On the same day, Ming Guangji sent someone to send Wang Hongyi and his mother Wang Granny to a place, and arranged for him to enter the palace as a painter in a few days.

Granny Wang didn't know the reason, but the fourth prince appreciated his son's talent, so he was sent to the palace to be a court painter, which is a matter of glory to the ancestors, not to mention how happy she is.

"Mother, do you remember the name of the girl who cured me of my dementia?" I stayed with her all night that night, only caring about painting, but in the end I didn't even ask her name, Wang Hongyi could only ask my mother.

"Remember, that girl's name is very good, just like people, called Ji Yao, I can always remember it. Granny Wang looked at her son and felt that he was not very happy to be able to enter the palace as a painter, "Why did you suddenly ask this, I told you before, you don't care at all." ”

"Oh, I just suddenly remembered that now I have the opportunity to enter the palace as a painter, thanks to that girl. ”

"It's not, it's a pity that I don't know where that girl went, where she is now, I didn't say goodbye that day, I regretted it for a while, what a good girl, if you are my daughter-in-law...... Alas, forget it. Granny Wang saw that Wang Hongyi's face was wrong, and thought that her son didn't like to hear this, so she didn't say more.

Daughter-in-law...... Wang Hongyi smiled bitterly, it was a luxury to see her once, he never thought about getting anything from her, looking at flowers in the fog, looking at the moon in the water, isn't this extremely beautiful.

The fourth prince Ming Guangji has always been a person who loves to show off, and good things are never hidden, and it didn't take long for him to have a picture of a beautiful woman known as the first in the world, and it was known to everyone in the entire Yudu City.

This news also reached a person's ears, the third princess Ming Lerui, who is known as the first beauty in Yudu Country.

"What is the world's first beauty picture, what kind of messy picture did these four brothers get!" The third princess Ming Lerui stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, and looked angrily at the personal maid who told her the news, looking for fragrance.

"That is, the first beauty in the world has always been the third princess, and only the beauty picture of the third princess can be called the first beauty picture in the world. Xun Xiang also stared at a pair of eyes, hugging and comforting the third princess.

"Hmph, maybe I know who slapped the fourth brother's ass and got some enchanting things to fool him!" Ming Lerui heard Xun Xiang say this, and the anger in her heart calmed down a little.

"Otherwise, the princess will let the fourth prince bring the painting, and the princess will see how the world is the first. Xun Xiang came up with an idea on the side.

Ming Lerui thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, let the fourth brother bring it, I want to take a good look at that painting." ”

Xun Xiang was happy in her heart, she knew the temper of her princess, and she couldn't tolerate a little better than herself, in the eyes of the third princess, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, Xun Xiang was also curious about what the painting looked like, so she deliberately told the third princess like this.

"By the way, princess, tomorrow Your Majesty will summon all the princes to the harem for questioning. Xun Xiang reminded.

The corners of Ming Lerui's mouth hooked, just right.

......

On the second day, in the imperial study of Emperor Ye Rong.

Emperor Yerong sat at the desk, looking at a few folds in his hand, below, there were four princes standing respectfully, the crown prince Ming Xiaoshun, the second prince Ming Hanyu, the third prince Ming Bozhen, and the fourth prince Ming Guangji.

"This prayer day is approaching, have you taken care of everything in your hands?" In the middle of the sound, Emperor Yerong Mingyu put down the fold in his hand.

"Father, please rest assured, the sons and ministers are ready, just waiting for the day of prayer. Prince Ming Xiao Shun replied.

"The sons are ready. The other three princes also replied together.

"Well, nothing can go wrong. Emperor Yerong nodded, "A few new excerpts were sent yesterday, and in a few days, foreign envoys from other countries will almost be able to arrive in Yudu City." ”

The Yudu Dynasty, the Yerong Emperor Mingzhuo, the Jiagu Dynasty, the Yansheng Emperor Shen Tuji, the Pengzu Dynasty, the Ao Yin Emperor Jianyang Qi Min, the Qinqiu Dynasty, the Changping Emperor Xu Chao, are the strongest four countries in this land today, and the relations between the four countries are calm on the surface, but the dark tide is turbulent.

On the day of prayer of the Yudu Dynasty, the other three countries will send envoys.

"The four of you have to arrange the reception of the envoy. Emperor Ye Rong picked up a few booklets on the table, "This is the list of envoys from various countries, you take it and see how it should be arranged." On the other hand, Emperor Yerong's personal eunuch Qiu Gonggong stepped forward and handed the booklet into the hands of the crown prince Ming Xiaoshun.

"Please rest assured. Ming Xiaoshun took the booklet and looked at it a few times. The second prince on his side, Ming Hanyu, looked at the basic booklet, and his narrow eyes darkened.

Receiving envoys is an important matter to establish good relations and contacts with other countries, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages for who will be the head of the country in the future.

Emperor Ye Rong didn't say who was responsible, in previous years, Emperor Ye Rong personally arranged it, and this time it was handed over to the four of them to deal with it by themselves, presumably it was also a test of the ability of the four of them.

Exiting the imperial study, the four of them slowly paced towards the back garden.

"The eldest brother has already worked hard to arrange the prayer day, and the second brother is willing to help the eldest brother share his worries. The second prince, Ming Hanyu, walked beside Ming Xiaoshun, and behind him were Ming Bo and Ming Guangji.

"Well, thank you second brother, let's go to the garden for a while and discuss this matter in detail. Ming Xiaoshun nodded.

As soon as I walked to the pavilion where the four of us often sit, I saw that there were already a few people sitting inside.

The eldest princess Ming Chuman, the second princess Ming Baozhi and the third princess Ming Lerui are all there.

When the three princesses saw the four of them coming, they hurriedly got up to greet each other.
