Chapter 447 Competing Skills

——"Deshan, I heard the Queen Mother mention that you are very good at tea art and piano art?"

A small country on the prairie can produce talents, let alone a big country in the Central Plains, but it must be somewhat difficult to find a master of piano and tea skills.

——"Your Majesty, my courtiers only know a little bit, and I dare not call it research."

Princess Deshan put her hands aside and bowed respectfully, but the queen mother who was sitting opposite the emperor felt that this was intentional modesty and shook her head with a smile.

——"Deshan, this is a family banquet, and there are no outsiders, so don't be so cautious."

--"Yes."

Picked up a jug from the dining table, and poured a bowl for the emperor and the queen mother. This wine was brewed by the most famous restaurant in the city, called Ten Mile Peach Blossom Brew.

——"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom Brew has an elegant taste, but it has a lot of stamina. Let's each have a cup, it is the best."

Before the words fell, Deshan respected him by being the first to do it.

How many people's painstaking efforts are involved in these ten miles of peach blossom wine?Only those who make wine know that the person who can brew such fine wine must not be an ordinary person.

—— "Deshan, I've drank the wine and said the words. I don't need to go around in circles with you anymore. I came here today because I have something to ask."

——"What does the emperor want his courtiers to do? That's an imperial decree, an order, how can..."

——"You girl, you are really exactly like your father now, you must stick to your established duty in everything you do, and you won't change your mind when you say anything."

Prince Jing was able to be crowned as a king with a different surname because of his stubborn nature. He decided that if he wanted to be loyal to this dynasty for the rest of his life, he would never be selfish. Lost his head.

——"Your Majesty, my father once said that if you can't even keep your own duty, what face do you have to face your ancestors!"

I was innocent in my first life, this is not just talking about it casually, the three generations of my ancestors were all officials in the previous dynasty, and there was never a single person who deviated from the orthodoxy, not to mention being loyal, the number of great achievements left behind is too numerous to count.

Obviously they already have the capital to seek to usurp the throne, but they have never had any dissent. Even if they have been suspected by the emperor and the queen mother, their father and daughter have always been consistent, following the family precepts of their ancestors, and dare not go beyond even a little bit.

——"Okay! What a heartfelt statement, I like it."

The emperor raised his head and laughed, the laughter was extremely heroic, he was a wise monarch, he created this prosperous scene, and Deshan admired him from the bottom of his heart.

——"Your Majesty, we've already come full circle, why don't we open the skylight and tell the truth, what exactly do you need your courtiers to do? And what does it have to do with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Suddenly mentioning piano art and tea ceremony, these two things are used by Deshan to pass the boring time. I didn't expect that they would come in handy after a few years. It is precisely because of this that he became famous in one fell swoop and became a fairy in everyone's eyes .

——"Hey! This matter is really a long story, and I can't explain it clearly for a while. Why don't I tell you directly, you just need to do this thing well."

Speaking of this, even if I still have curiosity in my heart, I still have to suppress it. After all, I can't lose my posture in front of the emperor and queen mother.

——"The emperor said so, my servant listen carefully."

First saluted, then poured a glass of Shili Peach Blossom Brew, the aroma of this wine had already permeated the small main hall, smelling it, I felt my mind was so dizzy, and my cheeks flushed irregularly .

——"I want you to compare yourself with the Tubo envoys."

--"what?"

——"Don't be too surprised, whether you lose or win, you just need to do your best."

He didn't force it, but it wasn't a discussion either. The tone was strange and he was ambiguous.

——"Your Majesty, do you really want to win? Or can you win or lose?"

Deshan knew that he shouldn't have said such a thing, and immediately regretted it as soon as he said it, but even if he slapped himself hard, he couldn't turn the time back to the previous moment.

——"Haha...You little girl, you speak exactly the same tone as your father. If you say that you are not your biological father and daughter, who will believe it?"

The emperor did not become angry because of Deshan's rudeness, on the contrary, he laughed more heartily, and the empress dowager who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

——"Deshan, if you can't win this time, you will lose the face of my great country in the Central Plains, and you will also have to bring a princess to Tubo for marriage."

--"what?!"

When I heard about marriage, I suddenly thought of the eighth princess who is the youngest. Now the only one who has not been married is Her Royal Highness. This year, she is only 13 years old. She is going to be married at such a young age. Happiness will be destroyed once, and there is no room for maneuver.

——"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, this Tubo has repeatedly provoked me in the Central Plains. It is obvious that I don't take my Central Plains seriously. Why bother to marry them and make peace? Just let my father kill him." .”

To be young is to be young, and the things you can think of are too superficial. As a high-ranking emperor, you must not only think about the nobles, but also for the benefit of thousands of people!

——"War smoke is everywhere, the people are destitute, and starvation is everywhere. Is this what Deshan wants?"

——"Of course not, what Deshan wants is peace in the world, no more wars."

His father led the army to fight for more than ten years, and he left everything behind. He didn't even have time to take care of the woman he loved most. Before he could see her for the last time, he died and was reincarnated.

For example, the tragedies of their family often happened in the barracks, and Deshan was already tired of such misfortunes!

——"What Dad is looking forward to is to unify the scattered Central Plains and fulfill the last wish left by our ancestors, and that moment is the most reassuring."

In a complete world, there will be no more wars, as long as some military camps are stationed at the border, my father can also move his troops back to the court, return to this prosperous Kyoto, and be a free and easy prince, enjoying peace and tranquility.

As for myself...of course I want to leave this man-eating palace, return to my father's side, be an obedient and sensible daughter, and stop calculating for others.

——"The word Xin'an is easy to say but hard to write, Deshan, can you save the face of our country this time? Whether you can keep the eight princesses depends on how you fight."

Although it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, the consequences of losing are not something you can afford.

Anyway!

——"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, please don't worry, even if this minister risked her life, she would definitely improve her tea art and qin art to a higher level."

—— "Okay! Then I and the queen mother will wait and see."

A high-stakes competition kicked off on the first day after the Tubo envoys entered Beijing. Those pretentious piano and tea ceremony masters did not expect that the Central Plains would send a weak woman to challenge! !
