Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 382;
Wen Miaomiao and Dong Shan'er who were nearby couldn't help covering their mouths and chuckling when they heard Cheng Lixue's words and saw Lu Yaoyao's helpless look.

Soon the birthday presenter appeared on the stage.

The first person to play was naturally Emperor Hongwen's eldest son—His Royal Highness King Ning.

The things he sent were relatively large, covered with red silk, and carried to the field by several servants with great effort.

As soon as this thing appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

They all speculated what kind of treasure His Royal Highness King Ning would give.

Lu Yaoyao was also quite curious.

"Sister princess, what do you think King Ning will give you?"

Cheng Lixue asked in a low voice.

She said it was a question, but her tone didn't ask too much. On the contrary, there was a feeling of knowing that she was deliberately showing off.

"Does sister Xiaoxue know?"

Just as Wen Miaomiao and Dong Shan'er shook their heads, Lu Yaoyao asked with a chuckle.

"I don't know the specifics, but I just heard from my brother that King Ning has been looking for high-quality jade everywhere recently."

"I guess there must be jade in it, or a jade carving."

Hearing this, Dong Shan'er who was beside her quickly took up the conversation.

"I've heard about this too, but it's probably not a jade carving. After all, such a large piece of high-quality jade is hard to find, and it's not a matter of time to carve it out."

Dongzhou is not rich in jade, and only a few small places are mined. Occasionally, there are high-quality jade, and the pieces are not particularly large.

Look at what King Ning brought up at this time, it is about five feet high and more than six feet long, and judging from the outline of the red silk, it looks a bit like a screen or something.

When everyone was guessing, King Ning first cupped his hands and said a long series of congratulatory speeches to Emperor Hongwen.

Then he reported the congratulatory gift he gave.

"Splendid Jiangshan."

"what is this?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the next moment, King Ning lifted the red silk covering the birthday ceremony.

Whoa!
After seeing clearly what was under the red silk, everyone gasped, and the audience was in an uproar.

"It's so beautiful."

Cheng Lixue's eyes were glued to the birthday gift.

Wen Miaomiao and Dong Shan'er both nodded in agreement.

"It's really beautiful, and it took a lot of means."

Lu Yaoyao also nodded.

This congratulatory gift is a picture, which seems to be the territory of Dongzhou, but it is different from the paper and ink paintings that we usually see.

King Ning's birthday gift was embroidered with silk thread, but it was not entirely embroidery. On the silk cloth, there were also many gemstones of different colors.

For example, the ones representing rivers are polished and spliced ​​with top-quality white jade and crystal lamps, and the mountains are decorated with emeralds of various colors.

At a glance, you can see the extraordinary value and the care of the creator.

"Good good."

"The emperor has a heart, I like this beautiful country very much."

Emperor Hongwen was very happy, and the queen Wang and Empress beside him were also grinning from ear to ear.

After all, if her son showed his face, she, as a queen mother, would naturally have a bright face too, wouldn't she?
The next one who presented the birthday present was the second prince. Speaking of the second prince, originally he could get the support of Emperor Hongwen and could barely compete with King Ning.

As a result, his ability was insufficient, and he bumped into Lu Yaoyao as soon as he got his head around.

In Emperor Hongwen's heart, the value of Lu Yaoyao was to find the second prince who was far superior to him. No, after that incident, the second prince lived deep in the palace and never had a chance to make his mark.

The birthday gift he gave was a birthday picture drawn by himself. Although the value was far lower than the birthday gift given by King Ning, it was justified in that he made it himself.

Emperor Hongwen smiled and nodded, and also praised a few words.

Next came some princes and princesses who were underage, and the gifts they gave were all gadgets made by themselves.

The value is not high, but the intention is not bad.

After the prince and princess were delivered, King Jin also came on stage.

What he gave was a pair of calligraphy and painting by Gu Qian, a famous artist in the former dynasty. One of Emperor Hongwen's favorite famous artists was Gu Qian. He couldn't put it down for this gift from King Jin.

Wang De was asked to put it away carefully on the spot, find the best wood to frame it, and he will hang it in the imperial study in the future.

In the past half a year, all the dignitaries in the capital have seen King Jin's turnaround.

At this time, Emperor Hongwen was like this, which made many people think that King Jin was really about to rise.

At the moment, the minds of many powerful people became active.

Especially those who have daughters in their own homes, are even more excited.

There is no princess in the Jin Palace now.

No, as soon as Jin Wang went there, there were several powerful ministers with good status and status, and they began to flirt with each other.

The gift-giving continued, and the courtiers followed the clan.

They are all first-class treasures. Emperor Hongwen has seen many such things in recent years. Naturally, not to mention how intense the reaction was, they all nodded and smiled frequently.

"Wanfu, what kind of birthday gift are you going to give me?"

Just after a minister stepped down, the eyes of Emperor Hongwen, who was on the throne, fell on Lu Yaoyao.

It stands to reason that Lu Yaoyao's grade should be raised earlier, but it was her first time attending such a banquet, so she didn't understand this, Dong Shan'er and Wen Miaomiao reminded her.

But when she saw those clansmen and ministers scrambling to get up one by one, she didn't bother to fight for anything.

Anyway, Emperor Hongwen had already seen and played with her gift, so it was not too late.

At this moment, as soon as Emperor Hongwen spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Yaoyao.

If you want to say who has the most famous reputation in the capital this year, it is undoubtedly Lu Yaoyao, the owner of Wanfu County.

Absolute unparalleled favor, even compared with Lu Yaoyao, who was the most favored at the time, Yun Junwang was far behind.

After all, Prince Yun didn't get the gold medal, but Princess Wanfu did.

Especially those who participated in the hot pot talk at the beginning are more aware of how favored Lu Yaoyao is.

"The gift from the courtier is just a gadget, not a treasure, so please don't dislike it, Your Majesty."

"Oh? What kind of gadget? Take it out for everyone to see."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao felt a burst of contempt in her heart, you've already played what you're pretending to do.

"It's a gadget that my courtiers researched to pass the time when they are bored. It's called Mahjong."

As she spoke, she opened the box in her hand.

"Princess Wanfu, Su Wen, has a lot of knowledge in Gewu. Since this mahjong was made by the princess, it must have some advantages. I wonder if you can take it out and let me open my eyes?"

A minister said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, this is just a gadget, it's not very convenient to display."

"Convenience, why is it inconvenient, is there any inconvenience in my palace?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Hongwen's voice sounded.

"Just tell me, what do you need? I am also quite curious about what this little thing of yours is."

Lu Yaoyao glanced at Emperor Hongwen, and the contempt in his eyes was not concealed at all. Although Emperor Hongwen saw it, he was not angry at all, but smiled.

OK, let's show it.
