The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Earlier it was said that His Majesty wanted to marry Shu Yao to Xie Yanzhou. Although the crown prince felt sore, he could still comfort himself. Xie Yanzhou and Shu Yao were in the same family and grew up with her. No one is more suitable to be Shu Yao's husband than him.

But what qualifications does this humble guard have to be like Dayong's most honorable princess?
The jealousy in his heart was surging like a sea, and the crown prince said in a cold tone, "Since Guard Li is serving as Marquis of Sidu Yu in front of the palace, he should abide by his duty."

The prince has governed with Emperor Yong for a few years, and there is already an emperor's air between his brows, and he is not angry and prestige.Li Mingji lowered his gentle eyes, "The humble official would like to follow His Highness's instructions."

It is undeniable that the courtesy of this guard is impeccable.But the more humble and respectful he was, the more the prince felt a sense of powerlessness that he could not control, just like facing his mother.

The queen is his biological mother, so it's fine if he can't resist the queen, how can he not even manage a guard who covets his cousin?The prince gave Li Mingji a cold look, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

He better be self-aware.

When the prince returned to his seat, Li Mingji's expression returned to being indifferent.

In his previous life, he didn't pay attention to the prince.After all, the prince was married at that time, and the princess was pregnant.After Xiao Sui entered Beijing, the prince's family, like Emperor Yong's family, were imprisoned.

What qualifications does a coward who can't even protect his own family deserve his attention?

However, now in the palace, he found a lot of interesting things.

The prince actually has secret thoughts about the little princess...

Li Mingji's thin lips curled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

The one with self-knowledge should be the prince.

Sensing that someone seemed to be watching him, Li Mingji's eyes sharpened, and he looked up, only to find the little princess who was secretly staring at him.

Peeping at the caught bag, Shu Yao suddenly looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, turning her head away from Li Mingji's eyes.

She just wanted to see where Li Mingji was, why was he so sensitive?And smile at her...

Shu Yao almost bumped into the table in a panic, Princess Jiayi glanced at her suspiciously: "What are you doing? You are reckless."

Isn't she the favorite to put on a dignified and elegant air on this occasion?It's not like her at all.

Shu Yao's expression did not change, "This princess is just careless. Don't eat or sleep, don't keep staring at me."

Princess Jiayi was really irritated by her, and snorted coldly, "Postposing, who wants to look at you."

Taking into account the interaction between the little princess and Princess Jiayi, Li Mingji raised the corners of his eyes lightly, feeling a little soft in his heart.

……

The birthday banquet was in full swing, and the congratulatory gifts prepared by the officials and nobles were presented on the stage one after another.

Shu Yao immediately sat upright, waiting for her surprise presentation of the congratulatory gift, uncle would definitely like it.

Princess Jiayi next to her asked, "Shu Yao, what gift did you prepare for Father?"

Shu Yao made a fool of herself: "You'll know right away."

"This has to be made mysterious, you are so boring," Princess Jiayi slandered a few words, thought of something, snorted coldly, and glanced at the noble ladies' table, "Recently, the Zheng family has been in the limelight recently, the Cui family, the Lu family They are all flattering Zheng Yueyao, look at them."

Zheng Yueyao sat in the first place, with a graceful demeanor, she already looked like a mother in the world, and there were many noble ladies sitting beside her, as if they had formed a small group.

The congratulatory gift presented by the Zheng family to Emperor Yong was an inkstone carved from beautiful jade.Jade has been a symbol of a gentleman since ancient times, and Emperor Yong's study also collected a lot of jade ornaments, which can be said to be suitable for him.

The list of congratulatory gifts was endless, and the eunuch announced one by one in a high-pitched voice, making Shu Yao drowsy.

"The Marquis of Qinyang presents Qingyan painter with a masterpiece "Cold Mountain Picture"!"

Qingyan...?Isn't this Li Mingji?
Shu Yao's eyes widened in surprise, and she saw a few palace servants coming over with scrolls in their hands, and spread the scrolls out. It was a painting in ink on silk about half a foot high.

This painting depicts the bleak mountain scenery in winter, and the tall and majestic mountains almost occupy most of the space.However, the author's pen is both majestic and exquisite, and vividly outlines the strangeness, danger, steepness and precipitousness of the mountain.

Qin Yanghou got up at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, I bought this painting by accident. It is said that Qingyan painter took half a year to complete such a masterpiece. It has never been made public before, and I hereby present it to Your Majesty."

Because Emperor Yong liked writing and ink, the officials of this dynasty were more or less able to do calligraphy and painting, so naturally they had heard of this painter's name.The painter who calls himself "Qingyan" has a mysterious whereabouts. He only sells his works in Ning'an Temple every spring to those who are destined.

Many people guessed that Qingyan was a monk from Ning'an Temple, or that he was a down-and-out student.It's a pity that there are so many sayings, but no one has seen the real Qingyan.

Emperor Yong had been sitting on the dragon chair before, and when he saw this silk painting, he couldn't help getting up, and exclaimed, "The workmanship is exquisite and majestic. It really is Qingyan's handwriting. Qin Yanghou has a heart. Come and appreciate it."

Emperor Yong's face was joyful, and Marquis Qin Yang also swept away the depression of the previous period, and kowtowed proudly to thank him.

Qin Yanghou was also very surprised that Pan could take out Qingyan's painting.The lists Li Qingchu made were all things that were given too much in previous years, and Emperor Yong didn't pay attention to them at all.As for Pan's congratulatory gift, it was obvious that he had made a lot of preparations in advance, and it could be said that he had exhausted his thoughts.

After all, it was the woman who had been with him for more than ten years. How could he ignore Mrs. Pan because of a momentary conflict?No matter how youthful Li Qingchu is, it's just his pastime, only Mrs. Pan understands him best.

Seeing that Li Mingji's work was actually taken out of Qin Yanghou's hand, Shu Yao frowned, feeling extremely unlucky.

However, my uncle admired "Qingyan" so much, if Li Mingji had the intention to enter the painting academy, he would have become a world-renowned painter long ago.It's a pity that Li Mingji refused to go to the painting academy, so he must be her bodyguard.

Princess Jiayi muttered: "Qingyan? Where did the painter come from? This is Zhou Lang who is not famous. If the emperor sees Zhou Lang's calligraphy, he will definitely like it."

Shu Yao answered the words naturally: "Because Qingyan is more powerful than your Mr. Zhou."

Princess Jiayi: "..."

Doesn't Shu Yao usually have eyes higher than the top, so no one would look down on him?Why did you suddenly maintain a painter?It's really inexplicable.

After reading the long list of gifts, it was finally Shu Yao's turn to congratulate her.

"Princess Huaxi presented a piece of "Wan Yu Tu"!"

Finally being named, Shu Yao blessed her body gracefully, with a delicate voice: "Uncle, Hua Xi dedicates this "Tu Wan Yu Tu" drawn by himself to Uncle. I wish the Great Yong River to be clean, and the mountains and rivers to be peaceful forever. "

Emperor Yong's eyes were sour, he strode down from the dragon chair, and helped Shu Yao up, "Okay, okay, okay! Huaxi's congratulatory gift won my heart, and I will reward you very much!"

During this period, Emperor Yong issued many reform edicts, which were obstructed by powerful officials in every possible way, and advised him not to change the laws of his ancestors.Doesn't he understand what the plans of these aristocratic officials are?They are not for the people of Dayong at all, but are worried that they will lose power like the Xie family.

Emperor Yong had a lot of expectations for this birthday banquet, and wanted to explore the true thoughts of these officials and nobles through congratulatory gifts.However, most people chose to be wise and safe, and did not make a clear statement. Only Shu Yao sent "Wan Yu Tu".

The innocent little lady naturally doesn't understand court disputes.She just saw that she was busy with government affairs and worried about the people, so she did what she liked and offered her sincere and beautiful blessings.No one around Emperor Yong understood such a simple truth.
