Chapter 227

"Oh?" Emperor Xian raised his eyebrows with great interest, and glanced at Xu Jiao, "What birthday gift did Yingyue prepare for Wanwan, you might as well bring it up and let me have a look."

In the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xian naturally watched whatever he wanted, who would dare to say no?

Xu Jiao looked at her nose, nose and heart, with a sweet smile on her lips all the time, Wang Wan glanced at her very quickly, then smiled and waved to Caiyun, Caiyun hurriedly held the picture in her hand, before she could take it. Go down and bring up the collected portraits, and unfold them in front of Emperor Xian together with Gan Neishi.

It is said that the first emperor was very knowledgeable in painting and calligraphy, and he also took great pains to teach his two sons and daughters in this area, inviting famous teachers to teach them since childhood.Besides, I was born in the royal family, and I have seen a lot, even my vision is much higher than others, so I have some vision.

When Emperor Xian looked at the painting, he smiled and praised, "That's right. This painting depicts Wan Wan so vividly that I almost think that Wan Wan is standing there. Yingyue's painting skills are very good!"

"The work in the boudoir is difficult to be elegant, and I dare not be praised by Your Majesty." Xu Jiao hurriedly said in fear.

"You don't have to underestimate yourself. Speaking of your paintings, I have seen a few of them. At first, the lotus flower, then the Avalokitesvara picture at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and Wan Wan's birthday ceremony, I am amazed every time. Really. It’s like being a father, I see, it’s not weaker than your father’s early works, given time, I’m afraid it will really be better than blue!”

"Your Majesty praises you, but you dare not be a moonlight." Xu Jiao still lowered his eyes modestly.

Emperor Xian's eyes fell on her, and the dim light flickered, "But speaking of it, I have never seen Yingyue painting landscapes. Mr. Jiuyi's pinnacle work should be landscape paintings. I don't know that Yingyue is good at landscapes." ah?"

"I've painted landscapes before, but I'm not good at it." Xu Jiao answered after consideration.

"Are you being humble again? I see that you are very modest about your painting skills and say that you are not good at it. I am a little curious. I wonder how the landscapes you paint compare with your father's?"

"I dare not compare with my father. Moreover, I have only seen a few of my father's landscapes in my grandfather's room and my mother's. Most of them are green landscapes. I have also copied them, but most of them are still Only Shen Yun is one or two, and my father is still far behind."

Emperor Xian nodded after hearing this, "There are quite a few of your father's paintings here, and I can find some of them for you to look at some other day. Whether it's for you to copy or taste and learn, if Yingyue can be there in the future It is also a blessing for our Great Wei to be on par with your father in terms of painting skills."

When Xu Jiao heard these words, he didn't take them seriously in his heart, but he had a respectful and flattered expression on his face.

After Emperor Xian left, Xu Jiao and Wang Wan became at ease again.

The table was full of delicacies, among which there were several Xu Jiao's favorites.

Wang Wan poured two glasses of wine, handed one of them to Xu Jiao, picked up the other glass by herself, and smiled at Xu Jiao, "Come on! Have a drink first, and wish us both a happy birthday!"

Xu Jiao was startled, and then suddenly realized.That's right, Wang Wan and Jing Yue were originally born in the same year, the same month and the same day, and this is the reason for this fate. Today is Wang Wan's birthday, and it is also the birthday of Jing Yue, Wei Wuniang, and even Princess Wuyang.

Xu Jiao suddenly felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Among the girls born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, only Wang Wan was left alive.

She bore Jing Yue's name, became the eldest princess' daughter in place of Princess Wuyang, and Wei Wuniang...how could these things be shown to Wang Wan?

Seeing that she didn't respond for a while, Wang Wan frowned, with doubts on her face, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes! I wish us a happy birthday, every year we have today, every year we have today! Cheers!" Xu Jiao said Forget it, holding the wine glass and touching Wang Wan's wine glass, then raised his head and drank the glass of wine in one gulp, with a heroic spirit.

Seeing her like this, Wang Wan put away her doubts and drank all the wine.

Xu Jiao restrained her thoughts and decided to have a happy birthday feast.

On the way to eat, someone came to Anfu Palace, and the person who came was the empress dowager's caring mother Chang.After meeting with the two of them, they said to Xu Jiao, "I know that the princess is entering the palace today, and the empress dowager specially sent a servant girl to tell the princess. Today is the princess's birthday, but the concubine Wan will arrange it, so they will I am happy to be free. The birthday gift for the princess has already been sent to the carriage. The princess just has to play. In the past, it was enough to just go out of the palace. There is no need to thank her, and there is no need to thank her grandmother and His Highness for the birthday presents given to her granddaughter and daughter by her mother."

This tone is really like the empress dowager!

Xu Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sent Nanny Chang out.

Looking back, Wang Wan looked at her with a deep smile on her face, "The Empress Dowager and His Highness the Eldest Princess treated Ajiao very well."

The corners of Xu Jiao's mouth fluttered, not knowing what to say, Wang Wan had already stopped the topic, raised her hand and held her arm and said, "A Jiao is so nice, she is naturally likable. Besides, I treat A Jiao very well. Okay!" As she spoke, she smiled mysteriously and whispered to Xu Jiao, "I also prepared a birthday gift for you, and I will give it to you when you leave later."

At the banquet, Wang Wan drank two more glasses, but Xu Jiao probably knew how much she was drinking, and in the palace, she never drank except for the first drink, and Wang Wan never persuaded her again except for the first drink. her wine.

After the meal was over, Wang Wan was already a little drunk, she took Xu Jiao's arm and refused to let go, her mouth was full of apology, "I'm sorry, A Jiao! You should be at home on such a day, but I was called into the palace. But...it's my birthday, I don't want to be with others, let alone alone, I just want...just to be with you, Ajiao..."

When she said these words, Wang Wan leaned on Xu Jiao's shoulder, while speaking, her voice gradually became weaker.

After not hearing the sound for a long time, Xu Jiao turned his eyes and realized that Wang Wan had fallen asleep.Thinking of what Wang Wan had said to her earlier about her past and her situation in the Wang family, Xu Jiao felt a little shy, and raised her hand to tuck the strands of messy hair on Wang Wan's cheeks behind her ears.

Caiyun and Caixia rushed forward to lift Wang Wan from Xu Jiao's body, and together they put Wang Wan, who had passed out of drunkenness, on the couch and lay down.

Seeing this, Caiyun smiled and said, "Our majesty is really happy when only the princess is around."

Xu Jiao looked at Wang Wan's sleeping face, her eyes darkened slightly.

"By the way, princess, this is the birthday gift that our mother prepared for the princess early in the morning. She was worried that she would forget it, so she specially informed the servant girl, so that the servant girl must remember to give it to the princess before leaving. To the princess."

It was a very plain black lacquer box, Xu Jiao didn't know what was inside, but Wang Wan's carefulness must have been carefully selected.
