After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 46 "Hundred Carps Celebrating Longevity"

The emperor also found it strange, he subconsciously touched the drawing paper with his hand, the drawing paper was indeed paper, but it was slightly thicker than ordinary drawing paper.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, that's exactly what happened, and I asked my father to take a sip of water and spray it on the screen, and the inscription will appear.

Plus, there are surprises. "

The emperor suddenly became interested. Today, at this very moment, he feels novelty.

In order to show off his newly acquired painting, the emperor specially asked the little eunuch to pick up the painting and show it to the officials and courtiers below.

After the display was over, he took a sip of water from the cup Li Changhai handed over, took a few breaths, and then carefully sprayed it on the painting. I have to say, worthy of being the emperor, the water spraying technique is also top-notch. The fog fell, and after a while, the scenery on the painting changed:
The mist seemed to be evaporated by the rising sun, and the pavilions and pavilions became clearer. The carp that had been motionless in the pond began to swim slowly, slowly forming a big "longevity" character, and even the lotus in the pond From budding to fully blooming, red, yellow, white and pink colors compete with each other...

A series of exclamations came from the hall, and some people couldn't even close their mouths.

The emperor excitedly said: "A miracle! It's a miracle! This is the best gift I have received today! Brother Chen, come here, look, this is the real birthday celebration with a hundred carps!"

The eldest prince of Beiliang clasped his fists and saluted: "Can Emperor Yong allow me to wait and see this rare miracle?"

The emperor waved his hand. "Can!"

With permission, people stood in front of the imperial case quickly, probably because the emperor's mouth was big and contained a lot of water, but the picture on the painting has not disappeared, and those carps are still maintaining their formation. King Chen can't help but secretly marvel, this painting is amazing. It's amazing!
He has lived for decades, and this is the first time he has heard that there are moving paintings.

The onlookers before the imperial case also felt the same way. Is this painting really something that can be found in the world?
The eldest prince of Beiliang even thought to himself, if only he could get his hands on this magical painting.

Ye Hanyu took this opportunity to glance at the lower left corner of the scroll, and a seal suddenly appeared in the lower left corner of the empty scroll. Because he was looking backwards, he took a while to recognize the words on it: Ling Yueshang people.

He searched through his memory and did not recall any calligrapher and painter named Master Ling Yue.

The scene in the painting lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it slowly returned to its original state. The emperor picked up the cup and was about to spray it up again so that he could show off for a while, but was stopped by Ye Hanyu, "Father, you If you want to see it, it’s better to look at it after a while, after all, the material of this painting is paper, spraying water continuously, I’m afraid it will affect the painting.”

After hearing this, the emperor felt that what his son said was reasonable, and besides, there were still a few younger ones who did not present birthday gifts, and he couldn't delay too long because of the gift from the sixth child.

"Li Changhai, hurry up and put away the painting for me, and put it away properly. If there is any mistake in the painting, I will ask for you."

Li Changhai quickly took the little eunuch and carefully put away the painting, and ordered several eunuchs and a secret guard to look at it with good eyes.

After the painting was taken away, the emperor asked about the origin of the painting, and Ye Hanyu didn't hide it: "I report to my father, this painting is Gu's dowry."

The emperor immediately snorted: "Sixth prince concubine, where did you buy this "Hundred Carps Celebrating Birthday" picture from?"

Gu Wanning stepped forward to salute, the light red skirt couldn't cover her full body elegance, just standing there, suppressed the brilliance of the women in the palace, her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, her tone was concise and unhurried: "Qi According to my father, Master Erchen loves to collect calligraphy and paintings, and this painting was given to Erchen by the master as a dowry.

At that time, I only thought it was an ordinary birthday picture, but I discovered the mystery in the painting by accident. I thought that this kind of painting can only be owned by the most noble people in the world, so I took this painting as a birthday gift Dedicated to my father, I wish my father a happy birthday. "

After hearing this, the emperor felt relieved, the sixth daughter-in-law could speak, and it seemed to be similar to what her son said!
He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, your husband and wife have made meritorious service in presenting birthday gifts. The sixth child is made King of Yujun, receives the salary of the second-rank county king, and the main concubine Gu is the princess of the second-rank county."

The emperor had wanted to reward this throne for a long time, but in the past, at most, he could give it to a county king. After all, the sixth child had no merits, so he could only give it to a third-rank county king under the pretext of dividing the mansion.

It's different now, offering a birthday gift is meritorious, that's right, being able to make him smile is meritorious service!
After the imperial decree, everyone in the hall changed their faces. The second, third, and fifth princes were all princes with no rank. As a result, the sixth child was named king first because of a dowry painting of his concubine!
The third prince sneered coldly in his heart, the sixth child really has the face to touch the concubine's dowry, is this planning to be raised by a woman in the future?

The prince's face is unmoved, ah, no matter how much you can toss, the prince is here, you can only kneel!

The high-ranking concubines at the top were not feeling very well, but they still had to face it. If they dared to lower their face and show their displeasure at this time, it would be too unwise.

Regardless of what the people in the hall were thinking, Ye Hanyu and Gu Wanning knelt down and kowtowed to thank each other. Ye Hanyu used to only earn a few hundred taels a year, but now it is different. The salary of the county throne is only 5000 taels a year, and Lumi, with some rewards, life should not be too easy.

The two married couples who got benefits retreated, and the seventh prince waited for a few unmarried birthday presents, but the atmosphere was obviously different from before, the emperor didn't care about any gifts anymore, and his attitude was extremely perfunctory .

Several envoys of the Xirong Kingdom looked at each other, and originally wanted to take the opportunity of presenting the birthday gift to bring up the matter of the princess's marriage, but now the timing is clearly wrong.

Princess Xirong glanced at the handsome and beautiful prince, then at the gentle and jade-like seventh prince, and secretly bit her lips.

Ye Hanyu and his wife tried to reduce their sense of presence as much as possible, and the banquet officially began after the princes and princesses all finished their birthday presents.

The maids of honor were waiting on the side, and the imperial brewed pear blossoms were poured in vain. Everyone stood up and toasted to the emperor.

The emperor drank it and motioned for everyone to sit down.The music in the hall is melodious, and the concubines who are willing to perform will start to perform.The children of officials who were behind in the seats also came forward to perform. Anyway, for Gu Wanning who was attending the palace banquet for the first time, it was quite interesting.

All the banquets were served on low tables with a table for two people. On the table, there were six dim sum dishes first, and then the dim sum dishes were removed, and there were four cold dishes and two hot dishes. Gu Wanning was really hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks and ate them as soon as the dishes were served. , It's still a little hot in the mouth after eating, so I can only eat cold ones later.
