Chapter 134

Yu Shengchi's eyes darkened slightly, and he managed to maintain a smile and said, "Since that's the case, I think it's better to ask Mu Yao's opinion."

Xia Muyao hesitated for a moment, then stood up slowly and walked to the center of the hall, saluted to Emperor Jianyuan, the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu: "Mu Yao has little knowledge, but since Princess Ruoling mentioned it, today is Princess Tonghua's birthday, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty Also, Mu Yao dare not spoil everyone's interest."

"So, you agreed?"

The queen mother smiled kindly, and looked at her: "It's rare that you are willing to agree. If this performance really satisfies Aijia and His Majesty, Aijia will agree to grant you a wish. How about you?"

Xia Muyao pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and said: "Then Muyao will paint a picture here, and I hope the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty will not dislike you."

"Okay, okay, the Ai family has long heard that the daughter of the Xiahou Mansion is amazingly talented, and the painter is even more outstanding. I am honored to meet you today, and the Ai family is also a feast for the eyes."

The queen mother smiled and said, beckoning: "Come here, prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Concubine Xia."

The palace guards near the entrance of the main hall responded immediately, bowed and left to prepare.

Yu Shengchi narrowed his eyes slightly, holding the wine glass tightly, his face was indifferent, and his eyes fell on Xia Ningxi again.

Xia Ningxi tapped lightly on the edge of the table with one hand, and filled the wine jug with the other. Seeing Yu Chengchi's cold face, she raised her eyebrows, raised her glass to him, and smiled Unknown.

Hua Ruoling still smiled at Yan Yan, tilted his head and asked, "Ruoling would take the liberty to ask the Empress Dowager, if Concubine Xia's paintings can satisfy the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, will the Empress Dowager agree to any request made by Concubine Xia?"

"Naturally, Aijia is the elder of the entire harem, how can he not count his words?"

The queen mother cast a reproachful glance at Hua Ruoling, raised her hand to signal her to sit down, and shook her head with a helpless smile: "You girl, you are not too young, you have a temper and a ghostly spirit. The Ai family should find you a Good husband's family, get married earlier, let your husband's family take good care of you."

"Ruoling doesn't want to marry. If Ruoling wants to marry, she will only marry the person she wants to belong to." Hua Ruoling's face was stained with a blush, and she hurriedly sat down, lowering her head shyly.

The queen mother knew that she belonged to the prince in her heart, so she didn't say any more, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at Yu Xuanzhen, who had been sitting quietly and calmly, and couldn't help smiling with satisfaction.

Xia Ningxi leaned back slightly so that she could talk to You Huang, lowered her voice and asked, "Guess what Xia Muyao will ask for?"

You Huang snorted disapprovingly, and said: "What else can I ask for, now that she is the side concubine of Cheng Wang's mansion, she is naturally unwilling, but she just wants to be a concubine. But I can't figure it out, that Princess Ruoling , why do you want to help her? According to the close relationship between Princess Ruoling and the Queen Mother, it couldn't be easier to say a few words for Xia Muyao. "

The corners of Xia Ningxi's lips slanted up, glanced at the crown prince who was sitting on one side as steady as a mountain, and said with a light smile: "I know why Hua Ruoling wanted to help Xia Muyao, maybe there is some consensus reached between the two of them. "

You Huang frowned, and asked: "What consensus? Could it be that there is any quarrel between you and Princess Ruoling?"

"I can't talk about the holidays, but she has a deep affection for the Crown Prince, so I am naturally a thorn in her side." Xia Ningxi smiled, moved her body and sat upright.

Suddenly understood, You Huang laughed and said, "I didn't expect you have many rivals in love, come and tell me, besides Hua Ruoling, who else is there?"

"I don't know who else is there. It has nothing to do with me." Xia Ningxi said disapprovingly.

Lifting his eyes and scanning the entire hall, You Huang knocked on the jade flute and said with a tsk-tsk smile: "I observed carefully, and there are still quite a few rivals in love. In this hall alone, there are about four or five. Xiao Ning'er, This time, your wishful thinking may have been miscalculated, and your position as the crown princess who enjoys the blessings is really not secure."

"Even if someone robs me for the position of the crown princess, it depends on whether the crown prince is willing or not?"

Xia Ningxi looked at Yu Xuanzhen with squinted eyes and smiled, and said with her chin on her hands, "His Royal Highness, can you tell me whether my position as Crown Princess is safe or not?"

"As long as Gu is still the prince, your position as the concubine will naturally be secure. Unless the prince of Tianchen Kingdom is replaced by someone else." Yu Xuanzhen cast a casual glance at her and said.

Xia Ningxi was naturally very satisfied with this answer.She nodded with a smile, raised her glass to Yu Xuanzhen quickly, and said seriously: "Come on, I will respect you for this glass of wine. I wish you and I will be a husband and wife who 'respect each other as guests' for the rest of our lives."

The corners of Yu Xuanzhen's mouth twitched, his fingers holding the wine glass froze slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, and said with a gentle smile, "You should say, raise your eyebrows together, and bring your heads together." After speaking, she touched Xia Ningxi He took a glass, and drank the wine in the glass freely and neatly.

Xia Ningxi pursed her lips, nodded slightly, drank the wine and put down the glass, completely ignoring Yu Chengchi whose eyes were almost spitting fire.

You Huang looked like he was watching the show, and looked at the non-stop coming and going back and forth in the hall with his cheeks propped up.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone and the desk were quickly ready. Xia Muyao walked to the desk and stood still, took a deep breath, and examined the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

Beside her, a young eunuch stood aside, studying ink seriously.

Xia Muyao pursed her lips, and was about to write the pen when Yu Xuanzhen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Wait a minute."

Yu Xuanzhen smiled faintly, folded his sleeves and cupped his hands, and turned to look at Emperor Jianyuan: "Father, the concubine Xia and the concubine of my son are sisters. The concubine Xia performs, and the concubine of my son is Xia The concubine's younger sister can't just watch. So, in order to make up for Concubine Xia's face, Ning'er specifically asked Erchen to let Erchen and Ning'er's best friend, Mr. You Huang, paint for Concubine Xia to cheer her up."

"This..." Emperor Jianyuan became embarrassed, and looked at Yu Shengchi. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and he couldn't keep making decisions for others.

What's more, Yu Shengchi is the youngest prince among the former prince's children, and the only prince who stayed in the imperial city.When the first emperor died, he repeatedly asked him to take good care of Yu Shengchi.

Yu Shengchi looked calm, fixedly staring at Xia Ningxi who was staring blankly at the other side with tight lips, curled his lips into a smile: "My brother thinks that the proposal of the Crown Princess is good."

Emperor Jianyuan heaved a sigh of relief, hehe smiled and said, "In this case, please ask Mr. Youhuang to cheer for Concubine Xia. I don't know Mr. Youhuang, what do you plan to use?"

The corners of You Huang's mouth twitched calmly. He never expected Yu Xuanzhen to make such a move for him suddenly, but right now he is sitting here as a guest of the prince, and he is facing the emperor of another country. Can not shirk.
