Everyone bowed and saluted, and said in unison, "Thank you, the emperor." After that, they all sat down.
As soon as they sat down, everyone's eyes fell on Su Xi'er again. After sitting down, the emperor must speak the first sentence during the dinner. This is the rule.
Therefore, Situ Lin's face was full, and he coughed before speaking, and then he brought everyone back before saying, "Today's palace banquet, the purpose is obvious, the wedding of King Bei Minhao, the whole country celebrates. My father is gone early, I The feelings towards King Hao are the same as those of a son to his father. I use tea instead of wine to respect King Hao and wish King Hao and his concubine a long time."
After speaking, the little eunuch behind him immediately stepped forward and filled him with a cup of tea.
The maid behind Pei Qianhao also stepped forward, trying to pour tea for him. Before she moved, she stretched out a slender jade hand from the side, and the lady of the court knew, and immediately handed the teapot to Princess Hao.
Chu Linglong, who was sitting on the opposite right side, smiled softly, raising her narrow eyebrows, jokingly, "Princess Hao, you are really familiar, have you seen this hall where?"
A word shocked everyone, some ministers did not understand, what is the relationship between Prince Dongling and Concubine Hao? Before marrying King Hao, Princess Hao had been in Beimin and had never been to other countries. How did you know Prince Dongling
Su Xi'er smiled faintly in the doubts of the people, and showed her majesty in her soothing, "Prince Dongling has very good eyesight. When you see me, I am still the little slave servant behind King Hao."
Chu Linglong was unrelenting, so he wanted to see how Su Xier would respond, "Nanzhao State Banquet, you and King Hao go together. Linghe floating platform folding branch dance, this hall is unforgettable. I wonder if I can witness it again tonight? "
The ministers of Beimin frowned. The customs of Beimin are different from those of other countries. Noble women cannot dance unless it is a state banquet. No other occasions will work. Prince Dongling speaks regardless of the occasion. However, the other leaders of the Panbang were happy to see the results, and their eyes were full of light. Some people had participated in the Nanzhao State Banquet. Recognizing Su Xi'er, knowing this girl, dancing well, the interest in her eyes is even stronger.
Before Pei Qianhao could speak, Su Xier stretched her hand under the table, pinched him, and motioned him not to speak.
Seeing what she meant, Pei Qianhao followed her.
Su Xier smiled and replied, "I'm afraid I will disappoint the prince."
Chu Linglong glanced over the faces of the ministers around him, and then replied, "Could you take the liberty to ask, why?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Su Xi'er again. Situ Lin admired it very much, and he was sure that the emperor had a way. But in order to maintain the emperor's majesty, he had to restrain his emotions with a solemn expression on his face.
Just listen to a gentle female laugh, like a silver bell, and like a wind blowing a stream, "Everyone has emotions, there is not much why. Tonight, I don't want to jump."
When the words fell, some Banbang leaders couldn't help taking a breath, and the ministers of Bei Min were a little surprised, even Pei Zheng was surprised. The purpose of the banquet tonight is to celebrate the wedding of King Hao and add a lively atmosphere. Su Xi'er speaks like this, it is really not prestigious and loses her identity.
However, Su Xier suddenly got up and bowed to the blessings of everyone, "Everyone must have watched a lot of various dances. No matter how beautiful the dance is, you will hate seeing too much. Tonight, I will not dance, but I am prepared not to of."
A word tightened everyone's minds, Pei Zheng didn't know, so, what exactly did he want to do
Su Xier looked at Taifu Kong and said in front of everyone, "Foster father, can you order someone to prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a table for me."
Kong Taifu nodded immediately, and immediately ordered Xiao Yuanzi and a guard to go to the library. After all, call him a foster father, and if everyone appreciates him, there will be light on his face. Regardless of men and women, as long as they are talented, he admires them.
Chu Linglong picked up the wine cup on the table and shook it slightly, "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, is Princess Hao painting or writing poems?"
Without waiting for Su Xi'er to reply, Pei Qianhao said coldly, "What the hell is the prince waiting patiently. How can a person who is about to become a monarch be impetuous?"
Whenever trusting the monarch to ascend to the throne, especially when he is about to ascend to the throne, there will be turbulence in the affairs of the DPRK. The handling is good and the whole country progresses. If it is not handled well, it will go downhill.
Chu Linglong understood the meaning of Pei Qianhao's words, and hummed to himself, as expected, scheming and heavy-minded. As a result, he stopped speaking and just looked at what Su Xier was doing.
Hua Zirong on the side didn't say a word, calm and self-conscious, drinking from a glass of wine. Looking at Su Xi'er from time to time, this woman had dealt with Prince Chu's provocations more than once, and kept Prince Chu speechless every time, which was also a skill.
Everyone became more and more curious, and finally waited for pen, ink, paper, inkstone and the table amidst their doubts.
Su Xi'er stepped forward and asked Xiao Yuanzi to grind the ink, and then looked at Prince Chu, "Tonight, I will paint. I will not paint flowers and trees, but people. Prince Chu will paint you first. No need for one. The painting will be completed at tea time."
Those who know how to paint know very well that flowers and trees are easy to paint, but people are the most difficult to paint. The five sense organs are difficult, and the aura is even harder. The painting not only reflects the appearance, but also the temperament. In a few hours, it is impossible to paint a perfect portrait. However, Princess Hao actually said that there is less than a cup of tea!
Everyone couldn't help being curious, but Kong Taifu had doubts in his eyes. Can it be done with such a high degree of difficulty
At this time, the one who is least worried is Pei Qianhao, holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking slowly. The corners of the lips that occasionally rise, show that he is in a good mood now. His woman is quite powerful. These people are waiting for their eyes to fall down.
Everyone's eyes fell on the pen in Su Xier's hand. The ink had been polished, and she only glanced at Chu Linglong slightly. After that, he never raised his head again, the pen in his hand danced extremely fast, and the brushwork was extremely fast.
Although the queen of Ning Rulan is a barbarian, he attaches great importance to literature, especially calligraphy and painting. As for dancing, Ning Rulan likes it herself. Leading the country, but it is the current situation, it is compelling.
No one is born to want to be strong from the bottom of his heart, and all strong people are forced out. The current situation makes Ning Rulan so, and Pei Qianhao even more so.
The one who knows painting best is Kong Taifu, his eyes are full of doubts, is Su Xier really a servant girl? Before she entered the palace, was she really born poor? He couldn't help but wonder.
Chu Linglong only drank half of a cup of tea, and the painting was completed. Xiao Yuanzi stepped forward to look, his expression immediately stiffened, and he was taken aback for a while.
This look made everyone more puzzled. Some people have already shouted, "Hurry up and show it to everyone."
Only then did Xiao Yuanzi pull back his thoughts. He carefully picked up the painting, and after unfolding it, he raised his arms high and walked towards the crowd.
The bright moonlight mixed with the red lanterns, everyone saw the people in the painting, their eyes widened, even Taifu Kong could not help but take a breath. This painting... Wonderful!
When Chu Linglong saw it, she clenched her hands on the ground, her face was almost green with anger, what a Su Xier!
