Chapter Twenty-Five: A Picture of a Spring Day

Roll up the picture, and then look at the hall has been crying into a river, I don't know where a few big men have so many tears?

Looking at the time, I was afraid that it was time to pass on the painting, and after waiting for a while, sure enough, a eunuch came over and said in a loud voice: "The king's painting, you wait for it to be presented quickly." ”

The director had already prepared a few paintings and selected the best ones, but he was so worried that his hands were trembling, and the scroll fell to the ground several times.

Chu Yun walked over and put the picture of listening to the rain on a summer day that he had just drawn in seven or eight paintings. She is making her own opinion, if this principal would have been furious in normal times, but today she didn't have a seizure, and most of her was frightened.

Picked up the painting scrolls scattered on the ground one by one, and said with a low smile: "Father-in-law, there are so many paintings, why don't you let me send them with you." ”

The father-in-law glanced at her, "It's a Chu painter, I'm afraid this is ......."

"Father-in-law, rest assured, these paintings need to be explained, even if the king is not satisfied with it, he can't blame his father-in-law. ”

This painting has entered the gap in my father-in-law's heart, and someone will always bear it when something happens. As soon as the rest of the painters heard that Chu Yun was going, they couldn't wait to pick it up, someone forced their heads, that was good, once the king wanted to punish the first person in front of him, maybe he couldn't remember them.

They echoed casually, and Father-in-law Su agreed, and said in a sharp voice: "If you are willing to lose your little life, then follow along." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law. ”

Chu Yun followed behind with a few scrolls, although he had to meet Chen Heng and Chen Fang today, but in order to achieve his goal, he had to do so. She wants to get into the core of power as soon as possible, so that King Qi will rely on her even more.

The banquet of the Qi Palace has always been known for its luxury, and the Qi people are so extravagant that they have been for a long time, and as the king of a country, he is naturally the most extravagant one. In the banquet of the foreign envoys in the state of Qi, the banquet specification is very high, from the throne in the main hall to the steps outside the hall, below the steps until the east and west sides under the eaves of Taihe, according to the rank of the prince and the minister of civil and military affairs. The official rank of the banquet is set up in advance. There is a significant difference between the container and the dish. The banquet table is divided into first class and second class, the first class is the prince, the first and second rank ministers and foreign envoys, etc., and the second class is the third class and below the officials.

At the beginning of the banquet, first of all, the emperor stepped out of the warm sedan chair and ascended to the throne to the sound of Zhonghe Shao music, and the salute was read out by the celebrant officer, and then the music of His Majesty was played. The minister in charge of the banquet led the ministers on both sides and the lower steps to the center from both sides, and bowed three times and bowed nine times to the emperor.

During the banquet, every time tea, wine, and food are eaten, music is played and saluted. After the feast, there will be a celebration dance with national characteristics, including the Yang Lie Dance and the Xi Qi Dance. After the dance, the flute blows, Mongolian music is played, and then the music and dance of various ethnic groups and acrobatic operas are played.

Ten years ago, the king of Qi once entertained the king of Wu in the main hall, with 210 feasts, 100 sheep, and 100 bottles of wine, which shows the grandeur of its scale. At that time, the state of Wu was strong, and the countries did not dare to slack off, but if it is put now, the state of Qi is getting stronger and stronger, I am afraid that if King Wu and King Chen come at the same time, they will not put on such a grand banquet.

But Rao is so, there should be a number of etiquette, the main dish of today's feast is the unique hot pot of Qi country, "gold, silver, tin hot pot each one", a plate of pork slices, a plate of mutton slices, a plate of roasted venison with deer tail, a plate of stewed mutton black fork, four bowls of meat dishes, a plate of steamed food longevity, a plate of stove food longevity, two plates of snail box side dishes, two ebony chopsticks, and another shredded meat soup rice.

Chen Guo is located in the south, the diet is affectionate, and he has never eaten this kind of hot pot, Chen Heng and Chen Fang felt very fresh for the first time, watching the meat slices turn up in the pot, and they were a little excited.

Qi Yunhui looked at her innocent and lovely appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "If the princess likes it, she will ask the imperial chef to make it tomorrow and send it over." ”

Chen Fang didn't like him in the first place, so he said coldly: "That's not necessary, no matter how good things are, it won't taste good if you eat too much." ”

Qi Yunhui was bored, turned to Chen Heng and said, "The prince first came to Qi Kingdom, are you still used to living there?"

Chen Heng said: "This thing is very delicious, but my sister doesn't like beef and mutton, and I'm afraid I won't get used to it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fang took a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, "Chew it, is this mutton? Why can't you eat it?" ”

Queen Qi said: "If the princess likes it, you can bring some spices back, the country of Qi is rich in resources, rich in specialties, and there are many delicious princesses who can taste slowly." If the two countries are fortunate enough to marry, and the princess marries far away, it will be more convenient to eat whatever she wants. ”

Chen Fang's face flushed, and she looked up at Yan Xu, her handsome face was really good-looking.

Chen Heng was slightly stunned, that day they talked to Qi Yunhui about harmony, which was a secret, how did the queen know about it?

Queen Qi seemed to intend to fulfill her son's good deeds, and said to King Qi: "King, look at how much this Princess Chunyue looks like, and we are really a match made in heaven." ”

King Qi is also an old treacherous and cunning, so he didn't answer her words, and only smiled: "The Seventh Prince was ordered by King Chen to come to Qi, but he brought some new things, so you might as well take them out." ”

Concubine Lan couldn't wait to divert the topic, if Yan Xu married Princess Chen Guo, it would be not good for the prince, and when she saw the king mentioning the painting at this moment, she also said: "Yes, prince, take it out quickly and let us open our eyes." ”

Chen Guo's treasure has already been rumored, this is also one of the purposes of this trip, Chen Heng stood up with a smile, "This time by my king's order to bring three treasures, my king heard that Qi has many rare treasures, today I also want to open his eyes, my king has a destiny If Qi can have treasures to give, the three treasures brought today will be sent to the king." If our country is lucky enough to win one or two points, please don't be stingy and ask for something. ”

King Qi laughed, "King Chen is really generous. But this is ironic.

Chen Wang has always been stingy, it is okay to take advantage, but he never does what he suffers, and it is difficult to ask for it. They wanted to exchange Qi for a treasure to do one thing, but it was really a good calculation.

Chen Hengzi also heard the meaning of his words, and only smiled: "I don't know what the king thinks?"

King Qi stroked his beard, "In this case, please ask the envoy to present the treasure." ”

The matter has come to this, you can't do it if you don't fight, King Chen spread the matter of Doubao to several countries, if you don't fight, you will admit defeat by yourself, and it will only make other countries laugh. Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time and sent someone to find out what these three treasures were in advance.

"Then please take a look at it. Chen Heng clapped his hands, and the two guards who carried him held a painting scroll. The shaft ruler is longer and smaller than a normal painting.

This picture of a spring day is very famous, and the people in the hall can't help but hold their breath and wait to see.

As the scroll is opened little by little, a good spring scene appears in front of me: green overflows over the mountain peaks, and various mountain flowers are also vying to climb upward, hiding the enthusiasm of bees and the dance of butterflies. In front of the thatched hut, the green willows shook the mountain breeze, a peach blossom tree hugged a clump of bamboo shadows, the chestnut flowers lit a bunch of golden flames, time was melted little by little, and the air was as fresh as a filter. At this time, a young man and woman walked slowly on the sheep intestine path in the countryside, the fresh air greeted them, and the warm spring breeze poured into their noses with the smell of earth. Just looking at the painting, it is as if you are in the painting, smelling the fragrance of spring flowers and the smell of earth, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

On both sides of the path, the towering trees dance in the wind, making a rustling sound, and the road stones under your feet are old and covered with moss that exudes a long luster. The grass held up its soft little hands, shook its cute little head, and opened its sleepy eyes, and you could feel the grass moving, growing little by little. The pair of young men and women looked at each other, the woman held a peach blossom in her hand, and the smile on her face seemed to spread little by little, so bright and beautiful.

In the upper right corner of the painting is a poem: When you forget the afternoon with the wind, you are anxious and afraid of your family. Lock the letter and fold the peach blossom branch, and meet Ruier to express his heart.

The whole hall has no life at all, the people in the hall are immersed in the painting and can't extricate themselves, this picture scroll can not show a living scene, it seems that you can still feel the affection of the men and women in the painting, inexplicably sad for them, as if you know that they will not last long. is obviously infinitely affectionate, but it inexplicably makes people cry.

When Chu Yun walked into the hall, she happened to see the scene of the scroll unfolding, and when she saw a man and a woman in the painting, her heart was suddenly hit hard by something, and she twitched violently in pain. The man was dressed in red, so handsome, and the woman was delicate and lovely, obviously they had never seen each other, but they felt very familiar, as if they were deeply involved with her in their previous life.

Is she wrong? Wu Qi clearly said that there are several people in the painting, why are there only two now?

At this moment, Yan Xuan suddenly stood up, ran to Chen Heng with an arrow step, grabbed his front placket and shouted, "Where did this painting come from, tell me quickly." ”

Chen Heng only felt that his throat was tightened and he couldn't breathe, and it took a long time to spit out a word, "You ......"

At first glance, the people in the hall suddenly came to their senses, and King Qi shouted, "Yunbo, what are you doing?"

Yunbo is his name in this life, but he has never recognized it, and only the King of Qi will call him that in the past twenty years, even the Queen of Qi will call him Sha'er.

He frowned, if it weren't for the word filial piety, he would have been beaten just by his name. He also knew that he had lost his temper, but the painting ...... The painting was painted by that person, and the man and woman in the painting were him and her in his previous life. He didn't know when she painted it, but he recognized her words at a glance, and the strength of the pen in the hand was not something that any woman could write.

Why? Why did her paintings survive? Why didn't he know about it?

King Qi felt that his face was damaged, his face was very gloomy, Qi Yunhui saw that he could not miss the opportunity, and immediately shouted angrily, "Fourth, do you want to rebel?"

The reason why the Golden Palace was made like this was to give others a reason to get rid of him. Yan Xu let go of Chen Heng, clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, "Dare to ask the Seventh Prince, how did you get this painting?"

Chen Heng breathed a sigh of relief, this senior brother was not normal when he was in Tianqing Palace, and now he is becoming more and more crazy.

"This painting has been passed down from generation to generation in my Chen Palace, when my Chen Shizu King married the princess Hu Wuguo, and the grandmother brought this painting in the dowry, it is said that it was also painted by a princess of Hu Wuguo. ”

"When did she paint it, and what is the origin of this painting, tell me everything you know." Because of his excitement, his voice trembled slightly, and King Qi stopped him twice, but he ignored it.

It's not a time or two like this not to put the king in his eyes, although the king of Qi loves him a lot, but he can't tolerate anyone majestic, although he didn't have a seizure at that time, his face became more and more ugly. (To be continued.) )
