The best princess

Chapter 30 The Prince's Congratulatory Gift ([-])
With Emperor Zhaotai's order, Fu Youran's ass that had just been raised immediately sank again, and Mo Weitian on the side was very surprised by the fluke appearance. Qi Yibei, who is a "woman" on this occasion, naturally cannot appear Yes, Mo Weitian, who has no official position, has the cheek to attend the birthday banquet of hundreds of officials in order to prevent any accidents. Fortunately, everyone has always known that the prince and Mo Weitian are on good terms, so they don't care too much. The banquet is already half over. Although Fu Youran had always been absent-minded, but luckily everything went well, and he just waited for all the officials and the princes to present gifts, and then he would be done.

Can't go wrong?Mo Weitian turned around worriedly, looked at Rong Sheng who was standing in the corner with a gift box in his hand, saw nothing unusual, and then looked at Fu Youran who had been concentrating on the food in front of him without raising his head since he sat down again, Mo Weitian murmured in his heart, the birthday ceremony of hundreds of officials over there had already begun.

Corals from the South China Sea, trees from the North Sea, gold-plated Ruyi, and white jade Guanyin, besides these common birthday gifts, there are also unique things. , the sparrow's mouth was slightly open, with a lively expression, everyone present did not know what it was, some guessed it was an ornament, some guessed it was a decoration, the official who presented the treasure deliberately showed off, smiled and did not answer, and finally Emperor Zhaotai spoke, then Only then did the official respectfully use the bronze sparrow to show it to everyone. It turned out that it was a peacock that could eat melon seeds. He stuffed the melon seeds into the bird's mouth and patted the bird's back. Surprised, the empress inspected it over and over again, and couldn't put it down.

It's not normal, Mo Weitian's uneasy premonition is getting stronger and stronger. Although he has only been in contact with Fu Youran for a short time, he also knows from Qi Yibei who the master of Fu Dazhai is. So quiet?Not only quiet, but also a little distracted.

"is that OK?"

Mo Weitian's deep voice came into her ears, and Fu Youran raised her head. It took a long time to realize that someone was talking to her. She turned her head, looked at Mo Weitian for a while, and then nodded slightly, "There is a problem."

Mo Weitian shook his hand holding the wine glass, "What's the matter?"

But Fu Youran didn't answer, just staring at the table full of food in front of her in a daze, just when Mo Weitian wanted to ask, Fu Youran's eyes suddenly lit up, she turned her head and waved to Rongsheng, Rongsheng hurriedly handed over the gift box in his hand The palace servant beside him bowed to Fu Youran, and Fu Youran whispered a few words in Rong Sheng's ear, Rong Sheng was slightly taken aback, and said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, this..."

"Go quickly." Fu Youran's uncompromising tone made Rong Sheng dare not say much, and he bowed and retreated. Mo Weitian tugged at Fu Youran's sleeve, "What's the matter?"

Fu Youran gave Mo Weitian a resentful look, and said in a low voice: "If the performance fails today, you can't blame me. I sent someone to look for you yesterday, but you took the Xiyue cruise ship with lust. , and then the palace gate was closed, so I can only find a way by myself."

Mo Weitian was confused. When he returned to the mansion yesterday, the disciples did say that the "Prince" sent someone to come, but it was late at that time, the palace gate was closed, and he couldn't enter the palace, but what about today's birthday banquet? thing?What does it mean to "screw the show"?Also, what is "sex lust"?
During the conversation, the presentation of gifts has entered the main event. The princes attended one by one. If you want to say that Emperor Zhaotai is good at governing the world, he is also good at giving birth. He is neat and tidy. Since he ascended the throne at the age of 15, in ten years, he has filled the hearts of countless beauties. The harem successively gave birth to eight heirs for him, all of whom were princesses. Emperor Zhaotai was once extremely disappointed, thinking that he was a childless man, and almost wanted to learn from the state of Chu to set up an empress dowager for fun. In the same year, the queen who had been quiet for ten years was finally pregnant. According to the doctor's diagnosis, the possibility of being the prince reached nine stars. The fact is also true, but unfortunately, the prince who has received the good wishes of the people of the whole country is finally unable to bear it. Fuze, who amnesty the world, died prematurely after only ten days of birth. The sadness of Emperor Zhaotai is indescribable. The imperial concubines gave birth to seven more princes in a row, and the second prince who ran first was the current King Huai Qi Ruinan.

Ordinarily, the crown prince should be the one who presented the gift, but Emperor Zhaotai had something to say, and everyone naturally ranked the crown prince at the end. The golden crown is only held up by a long white jade hairpin. Both ends of the hairpin are wrapped with azure brocade ribbons and hang down to the back of the head, making the whole person look radiant and casual.

Fu Youran regretted that she ignored everyone on the field because of excessive worry, and sat at the lower left table without seeing her idol. As a result, she missed a few glances at her idol, so she must make up for it !
Qi Rui went south to the center of the main hall, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and toasted his birthday. Suddenly, he felt a cold light coming from the side. Looking carefully, it was actually the prince. It seems that the usual slightly deliberate kindness is a kind of... regretful, confused, appreciative, admiring, in short, very weird... gaze.

"King Huai?"

Qi Ruinan came back to his senses, looked at Emperor Zhaotai who was full of concern on the throne, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He never knew that the gaze of a person can really "shock" people's hearts, thus making people People feel cold, but the prince has never been like this. Could it be the latest strategy that the queen came up with?Thinking of this, Qi Ruinan couldn't help but glanced at the queen beside the throne, there was nothing unusual on the queen's dignified and bright face, Qi Ruinan didn't have time to think too much, and ordered the palace servants to present his present.

It was a scroll, and Qi Ruinan said loudly: "My son got an authentic painting by Wang Zhi by accident, and I dedicated it to my father for appreciation."

Emperor Zhaotai always liked calligraphy and painting of ancient books, and especially had a deep research on calligraphy. Wang Zhi was a great calligrapher a hundred years ago, and his works were rarely handed down. Someone once offered gold ten thousand taels to find the authentic ones, which shows how precious they are. Now that Qi Ruinan did what he wanted, presenting such a precious calligraphy and painting naturally surprised Emperor Zhaotai, and he ordered people to present it to the throne, to examine it carefully on the spot, and he was full of praise for King Huai.

Seeing Emperor Zhaotai laughing until the crow's feet were wide open, the queen looked at Fu Youran very worriedly, but saw her son's eyes were firmly locked on King Huai, and his expression was a little strange, the queen felt very relieved at the moment, my son, You finally understand the threat that King Huai brings to you, work hard!stare at him!
Here, the queen followed secretly, but Fu Youran didn't know it at all. She rubbed her eyes that were dry from not blinking for a long time, and watched King Huai return to his seat. Then the third prince Qi Yuxi came on stage. In my impression, the Dajin Times seems to have never reported on this prince who was only crowned a county king. He is not as handsome as King Huai, who resembles Emperor Zhaotai, nor is he as handsome as Qi Yibei, who was inherited from his mother. , not to mention the arrogance and nobility of the other princes, but the faintly visible eyebrows and eyes, which seem to have nothing to do with this super big family, and the faint smile that always hangs on the face is a bit less royal The fierceness of the family, a little more kindness of relatives.

Just like the third prince, his congratulatory gift was nothing out of the ordinary. It was just a piece of ink, which was very fragrant. He said calmly, "I personally took a piece of incense ink and presented it to my father."

For the three princes, the ministers have always paid little attention to him, not only because of his ordinaryness, but also because his biological mother died young and had no power behind him, but Emperor Zhaotai didn't think so. Those who are confident, just because Qi Yuxi personally made ink for his birthday, know that this is an extremely filial person. A person may not be smart or talented, but he must not be filial. For this word of filial piety, Zhaotai The emperor attached great importance to it and ordered someone to present the fragrant ink, and after examining it carefully, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Then, Emperor Zhaotai did something that no one thought of.

"Pass down the decree, the king of Yongjun will become the prince of Jin today, and eat in Shuangyi."

Everyone present was shocked, Qi Yuxi looked at Emperor Zhaotai and frowned slightly, and was relieved by Emperor Zhaotai's persistent gaze, and knelt down to accept the order.

No one knows that this unexpected decision originated only from this side of the ink. The whole body of this ink emits a blue-purple light. Mixed with golden light, Emperor Zhaotai was moved by it.

You must know that it is not easy to make a good ink. You must first put tung oil, clear oil or lard into the oil lamp and light it. There is an iron cover on the top of the oil lamp to collect the oil fumes. The oily fume covering the surface layer is brushed into the paper, which is the first-class oily fume, and then add egg white, fish skin glue, cowhide glue and various spices, medicinal materials, etc., such as clove, comfrey, Qinpi, sumac, There are no less than a thousand kinds of white sandalwood, styrax, pearls, etc., and then the smoke material and ingredients are combined with the smoke material, put into the iron mortar and pounded for [-] times to form an ink ball, and finally pressed into an ink ingot with a mold.

The book window picks up light coal, and the Buddhist tent sweeps Yufu.Work hard to break through thousands of nights, and take this one inch of jade.

The square ink presented by Qi Yuxi is not only high-quality ink, but also has a golden light. It must be that the iron mortar was replaced by a gold mortar when the ink ball was pounded and practiced more than [-] times to achieve this effect. Writing with this ink is sure to be overflowing with gold and beauty. If you put so much effort into this, how can you not please Emperor Zhaotai?

The queen began to worry again. The prince's gift had just begun, and Emperor Zhaotai was very happy. After that, there were four more people who might come up with something new. In comparison, the prince who was the finale would not be able to take advantage of it. , So the queen wondered whether to persuade the emperor to look at the prince's gift first, but then seeing the prince's godlike appearance, the queen let go of her heart again, she...should she trust the prince for a while?

The queen didn't know that the fearless look of the "Prince" did not mean that he had a well-thought-out plan. Didn't he have a saying that the ignorant have no fear.

Fortunately, the birthday gifts of the next four princes seemed nothing new. They obviously didn't grasp Emperor Zhaotai's tastes. The empress felt relieved. Finally, it was the turn of the much-anticipated Crown Prince. The empress looked forward, and the emperor was full of curiosity , King Huai shook the goosebumps on his body, thinking for a while whether to "stare at him and give him back", Mo Weitian was dumbfounded.

That's right, silly, he just got an official notice from Fu Youran: the words on that picture are blurred.

What is "fuzzy", Mo Weitian hasn't thought about it yet, but the tone doesn't sound like a good thing, and looking at Fu Youran's desperate face, he got up to celebrate Emperor Zhaotai's birthday, and then called Rong Rong Sheng presents a congratulatory gift.

All the audience held their breath and stared intently at the small vermilion tray covered with red silk. Mo Weitian felt a chill in his heart. It's over. This is not the painting scroll that Rong Sheng was holding just now, but another, smaller one. There are many, I don't know what it is for the time being, congratulations!
Although Fu Youran was a little uncertain, seeing the expectations of the crowd, he clasped his fists around in satisfaction, then pinched a corner of the red silk, and shouted: "Everyone..."

The answer to the mystery was finally revealed. After seeing the items on the plate, everyone, including Emperor Zhaotai, had expressions of bewilderment.

Inside the lacquer plate was a small jade cup, and inside the jade cup was half a cup of the most common thing—rice porridge.
