Author: I love to eat pig's trotters

The banquet began soon, and the emperor and empress entered the venue and sat down.

Of course, everyone saluted to Emperor Wen, Empress Xuan, Concubine Yue and others who had just settled down, and then entered the venue in sequence according to their seats.

As the eldest princess, Wen Miao was more than the princes. In addition, the emperor only had this sister and the elder of the princes. He directly placed a seat in a place slightly lower than Concubine Yue.

The seats of Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang are still next to the fifth prince and the couple, and the lower head are Feng Shaopeng and Ma Boyuan and his wife.

The general process is still the same, and the important officials said some blessings to Queen Xuan.

Then the prince and other juniors offered their birthday gifts.

The prince and his wife came forward first. The birthday gift was a pair of jade unicorns, which was quite good. But the princess had the shallowest eyelids. She said something specifically, what cost a lot of money, and she thought that such a leisurely gift was expensive.

The civil and military officials in the court were quite embarrassed. The fifth princess was so happy. I don’t know if she was really stupid. It was from your Changqiu Palace lineage. The Crown Princess is embarrassing. What can you leave behind?

Lou Ben also scratched his head when he saw it. At this time, he had no choice. After all, it was not his turn to speak in this situation.

Yuan Shan next to him couldn't help but whisper when he saw Lou Ben's expression:

"How is it, I don't know what to do! I have advised you not to express your feelings too early and refuse to listen!" They have been friends with classmates for many years, so they are blunt.

Lou Ben looked at Yuan Shanjian speechlessly, thinking that I can be the same as Je. You are the next head of the Yuan family. All the political resources of the Yuan family will be tilted like you. As for me, if I don’t help you in time, how can I make a name for myself. ,

At this moment, I was too lazy to argue with Yuan Shanjian, so I could only look at the prince and the princess with a serious look on his face.

Cheng Shaoshang wanted to stand up, but was pushed back by Jing Haoying. He was just a little embarrassed, so he didn't have to get in.

The Xuanhou could not bear to see the prince and the princess were always embarrassed, so he quickly said that he liked it very much.

The prince and the princess went back to sit in awkwardly, but everyone could not help but look down on the princess, which was really abhorrent.

Next, it was the third prince's turn. He took a scroll and walked to the center, saluted and said:

"The son-in-law found a new vein the day before yesterday. This is a geometric map of the new vein, dedicated to the father and mother,

My son has been searching hard before but cannot find it until the birthday party of my mother is approaching. It can be seen that it is the great blessing of my mother.

My son is here to wish my mother a long life and prosperity, and the phoenix body will not be bad!"

The third prince is much better than the gifts given by the prince and his wife. The difference is a matter of national strategic materials.

Emperor Wen was very happy when he heard this, and repeatedly praised the third prince for his ability, while other important officials nodded.

The fifth prince next to him whispered to Jing Haoying and said:

"Cousin, what gifts you have prepared cannot be too expensive, we have said that you can't surpass me too much, then I'll be too embarrassed!"

"You go there, when is this? Where can I go to change the gift? Tell me, what gifts have you prepared, let me see?"

When the fifth prince heard this, he looked uncomfortable.

"I don't have that much money, so how can I prepare any valuable things? I just have someone built a Zhuchai. Let me see!" As he said that, he took out a box and handed it to Jing Haoying.

Jing Haoying took it and saw that the workmanship was good, but the material was not very good, but it was also pretty good. After all, the fifth prince didn't have much investment, so Cheng Shaoshang also came over to take a look and said with a smile:

"It's not bad, the phoenix pattern is just right, the Empress is carrying it, the Fifth Prince is intent!"

The fifth prince's concubine nodded to Cheng Shaoshang and expressed her gratitude. The couple are used to being transparent, and it is rare for anyone to praise them.

When the fifth prince heard Cheng Shaoshang's praise, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

"As long as the queen doesn't dislike her, it's fine!" The fifth prince originally wanted to ask Jing Haoying what gifts he prepared,

But the third prince has already reported it.

Seeing this, the fifth prince and his wife had to come forward to present a gift. The emperor and Empress Xuan knew the situation of the fifth prince and his wife, and they did not have too high requirements for offering gifts, so they praised Zhu Chai repeatedly when they saw him.

The prince is done, it's time for the prince.

The fifth princess couldn't wait to come forward and bring a group of girls to perform dances. The second princess and his wife took the opportunity to play music and drink music together.

Not to mention, the combination is actually very co-production, the dance music is very good, gentle and yet grand.

Even Jing Haoying nodded frequently when he saw it.

As a result, I don’t know if it was because of the rehearsals or what happened. Someone made a mistake and even a large group of people fell to the ground, making a mess. It was really embarrassing.

The fifth prince almost laughed and turned aside. The fifth princess always looked down on him, but she didn't expect that she would be today.

Jing Haoying also laughed loudly. He and the fifth prince laughed the most clearly in the room.

Emperor Wen, who was so angry, glared at him.

When the fifth princess came back, the two passed by, just glared at Jing Haoying fiercely, and then kicked the fifth prince heavily, enduring the fifth prince and muttered:

"It's not just me who laughed at you, why did you just kick me!"

The fifth princess pretended not to hear it and sat back in her seat angrily.

It was Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang's turn not long after,

Cheng Shaoshang first introduced today's wine, which was praised by Emperor Wen because he did not use food.

Then Cheng Shaoshang took out a beautiful glass bottle, which contained the perfume made by Cheng Shaoshang according to Jing Haoying's proposal.

"This product is made by extracting the essence of flowers. Different flowers can create different fragrances.

Just spray a little on your body or clothes, and the fragrance will be scented and will not dissipate for a long time! Come, Empress, try it!" As he said that, he took two steps forward, walked to Xuanhou and demonstrated it to her.

No woman can resist this thing in ancient times or modern times. Not only Queen Xuan, but even Concubine Yue walked to the side to watch it together. After smelling the fragrance, she looked happy.

But the old god Wen Miao sat aside, because when Cheng Shaoshang made it, he gave her a bottle. She had seen it.

However, the other women in the palace looked at Empress Xuan Yue's happy look, and looked curious with wide eyes.

Although Empress Xuan and Concubine Yue liked it very much, Emperor Wen was not interested in this thing. Seeing that the three women were still studying it enthusiastically, they coughed several times and reminded several people that they were almost the same.

"Okay, I and Shen An know about Shao Shang's intentions!" Then he looked at Jing Haoying,

"Where are you? I see that these are all prepared by Shao Shang. Why didn't you get any gifts?"

"Uncle, this is wrong. Shaoshang and I are a husband and wife. What she gave me is what I gave me!" Although Jing Haoying said this, he still took out the gifts prepared in advance.

A family banquet picture basically depicts the situation where the royal family attends the family banquet. This picture is different from the simple portraits of people in the past, and the length is relatively large.

The decoration of the building and the facial expressions of the characters are all clearly visible and vividly painted. It took Jing Haoying a lot of time and was always beautified. Like the fifth princess, she didn't look arrogant, domineering, but looked obedient.

leaning in Xuanhou's arms,

The prince and the third prince also drank and talked about each other, and the others were also smiling and smiling, almost in a harmonious and beautiful manner.

Jing Haoying specially painted Emperor Wen to look at Queen Xuan with affectionate expression. This was proposed by Cheng Shaoshang, saying that it was the birthday gift of Queen Xuan, and Queen Xuan must be the protagonist.

This painting is relatively large in size, and Jing Haoying couldn't stretch it alone, so he specially called the fifth prince to stretch it out with him.

Emperor Wen, Empress Xuan and others couldn't see it clearly, so they walked down to watch it closely. The more they looked, the more shocked and satisfied the more they looked. After all, this painting would be a magnificent masterpiece in a few hundred years, not to mention now.

"Okay, okay, okay, Zixiu, Shen An didn't love you in vain. Such a fine painting shows that you have been attentive these days! Yes, it's really good! It's amazing!" He said while admiring.

nod,

Queen Xuan also looked happy.

"Thank you so hard, Zixiu, you are so dedicated. It took you a lot of time to draw it!"

Cheng Shaoshang immediately asked for credit:

"That's not, Zixiu took two months to work every day, for fear that he would not be able to get out before the Empress's birthday!"

After hearing this, Empress Xuan nodded repeatedly, expressing her touching expression.

Concubine Yue also looked good at first, but later she found out that the painting was just looking at Queen Xuan with affection. She couldn't help but glared at Jing Haoying fiercely, thinking that this little bastard really loved him in vain. She was so kind to him.

yes.

Jing Haoying also noticed Concubine Yue's gaze and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly. It would be better to let Concubine Yue "hold a grudge" and follow her wife's opinions. After all, her wife specifically asked for it.

The other ministers were also itchy and begged Emperor Wen to allow him to come and watch.

After watching it, I was full of admiration.

Some ministers even asked for paintings on the spot, and the smart ones even claimed to use some heirlooms to exchange for it, only asking for a "family portrait".

Jing Haoying refused after hearing this. His temperament was a little bit reckless. He was so uncomfortable to draw this painting. If Cheng Shaoshang had not been supervised, he might not have been able to do it now.

If you draw some simple portraits of characters or natural scenery, it is barely possible. This requirement is high and it takes a long time.

Of course, we can't refuse anyone. Some families with good friends, such as Ma Boyuan, Feng Shaopeng, He Yong, etc., can't refuse. You can take time privately in the future to help.

The painting was almost appreciated, so Emperor Wen ordered people to put it away and put it in Changqiu Palace. After all, it was the birthday ceremony of Queen Xuan.

Next, it’s all right. Basically, it’s just eating, drinking, and saying things about prosperity and peace.

Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang kissed me and me. After two drinks, the fifth prince suddenly leaned over and whispered:

"Cousin, look, the prince has contacted Mr. Ling again!"

When Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang heard this, they couldn't help but look at the prince. They saw the prince staring straight in another direction, and then looked over the prince's eyes. It happened that Qu Lingjun was sitting there.

Cheng Shaoshang didn't know Qu Lingjun and couldn't help asking:

"Who is that, why is the prince..."
