This bet that decided the fate of many people in the Zhang family also caused a disturbance thousands of miles away, but it did not cause any disturbance in Dayao where it happened.
Even the senior officials who witnessed it with their own eyes only made the impression that Ren Baqian was proficient in all aspects except martial arts was even more impressive.
At this time, there were only three days before the Queen's birthday celebration, and Lancheng began to become lively.
Although no envoys came this year, and the northeast and southeast directions were still fighting, the war had no effect on the residents of Lancheng.
It's not because they don't know the hardships of the front line, but because the ancient people have been fighting against the sky, the earth, and all kinds of beasts to survive decades ago, and the fighting has been soaked in their bones , It cannot be smoothed out in just a few decades.
In addition, some time ago, the three cities of Yunguo were captured, and truckloads of salt were brought back one after another, supplementing Dayao's recent shortage of salt in the market. Taking advantage of this batch of salt and the Empress's birthday celebration, a large number of mountain people came down the mountain, and many even rushed to Lancheng for a few days, letting Lancheng sweep away the bleakness before.
In addition, Hongwu and others have returned one after another these days, and many people will drop by to take a look outside Hongwu's mansion.
Ren Baqian saw this situation many times, passing by a few times, he saw someone looking at the Hongwu mansion from a distance and didn't know what to say.
Thinking about it in my heart, these people probably said again: I can replace it!
Or say to your children: He can replace him!
In this case.
Ren Baqian laughed to himself for a long time after making up such a conversation in his head. If someone has such thoughts, he will definitely support them.
When the provincial Hongwu looks at himself, his nose is not his nose and his eyes are not his eyes.
For the next three days, the palace was preparing. Ren Baqian had people wrap sections of red yarn around the trees, one by one wrapped around the trees and then tied in knots. From a distance, the palace became a sea of red flowers. .
"It's a bit wasteful." Regarding Ren Baqian's behavior, the Empress said lightly when she saw him. Although she seldom cared about these things, Ren Baqian still made her feel a little distressed by making such arrangements.
Dayao didn't have the technology of weaving, all the cloth was shipped from other three countries before, and the price was not low.
The palace is so big, with red flowers everywhere, it's too extravagant.
"Do you like it?" Ren Baqian asked with great interest. The empress has never done these things, except for dealing with political affairs in the court, drinking, and being in a daze is now a new hobby-watching TV dramas, and rarely pays attention to other things.
There are not many guards in this Nuoda palace, and there are even fewer maids, and it has always been deserted.
After being tossed about by him like this, it was much more lively.
The empress thought for a while, and she liked it in her heart, her eyes drifted slightly to the side: "It seems that the warehouse of the palace is going to be emptied by you."
"Only in this way can you be worthy of His Majesty! What's more, if you use it this year, you can use it next year, and you can still use it in the year after, so it's not considered extravagant." Ren Baqian said with a smile: "Selling glasses and glass these days can also make money. A little, but barely enough to spend."
Before the opening of this store, the glass factory had stockpiled a lot of glasses. The opening of the Royal Glass Store also triggered a rush of buying. Such crystal-clear and transparent cups and bowls cost only fifteen taels of silver. Which of the big shots in the court didn't buy a dozen or twenty of them back
In just half a month, the glass shop sold more than 30,000 taels of silver, which was used by Ren Baqianquan to buy red yarn to decorate the palace.
Seeing what he said, the empress didn't say any more.
In fact, most of the time, the empress seldom paid attention to what Ren Baqian did, and would just watch quietly from the side, silently waiting for the result.
Although sometimes it feels a little cold, but more often it is a kind of indulgence.
Even after watching so much TV, the empress doesn't know how to express her thoughts. In other words, if you express your thoughts to others, it will make her feel too shy.
And such connivance is her way of expression.
Ren Baqian also knew it well, so sometimes he would intentionally slap the empress a little bit. Of course, most of the time, the result was kicked away by the empress.
Three days passed in a flash, and all the maids and guards in the palace were tormented by him. As a result, the whole palace changed its color.
Even when Xin Zhe was patrolling the palace, he looked up from time to time to look at the tree crown covered with red flowers.
Even though she looks like a man most of the time, in fact she also has delicate thoughts.
Ren Baqian finished decorating the entire palace at noon on the day of the empress's birthday. Ren Baqian went back and changed into a blue dress, which was the color of the dress of fourth-rank officials.
Last year at this time he was dressed like a prairie.
Do the math, it all should have started on this day last year.
Exactly one year.
It's also the queen's birthday.
This is a good thing. It saves me from remembering all kinds of anniversaries, almost all of which are on this day.
If it is possible, it is best to set the wedding on this day in the future.
Ren Baqian rushed to the empress' bedroom while his thoughts were flying.
The empress was sitting on a stool in a red robe, and in front of her was the mirror engraved with the words "Your Majesty is not born in the sky, eternity is like a long night", and beside her was a dressing table.
And Qingyuan and Hongluan are dressing the Empress.
Ren Baqian's eyes lit up when he saw the empress sitting there. A golden phoenix spread its wings on the empress's red robe, which was ordered by Ren Baqian at a COS shop when she returned from Daxia. But it was worn on this day.
Coupled with the beautiful and slightly cold side face that Ren Baqian saw, this picture of a beauty dressing up, if painted, would be a treasure handed down from generation to generation.
It's a pity, Ren Baqian is very confident in his painting skills.
If I painted a picture of a beautiful woman dressing up for His Majesty today, I am afraid that I will be beaten to death on such a day...
If Jack on the Titanic was his painting skills, there would not be so many stories behind.
Ren Baqian took out his camera to take a picture of this beautiful scene, and then walked behind the woman to watch carefully how Qing Yuan and Hong Luan put their hair in a bun for the Empress.
Dressing up a beauty is also a pleasure, Ren Baqian still wants to learn it.
"Are you done with those things?" The Empress looked at Ren Baqian behind her in the mirror. Three and a half days, just for such a long time. Although she is very beautiful and she likes it very much, she still feels that Ren Baqian is a bit too free.
Starting tomorrow, it's time for him to pick up kung fu.
"Your Majesty's beauty today is really amazing!" Ren Baqian exclaimed looking at the person in the mirror.
I don't know if Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, he thinks the Empress is getting more and more beautiful!
"If your majesty used to have a beauty score of 9.8, today it's 9.9. I'll give you 0.1 less because you're afraid of your majesty's pride!" After Ren Baqian finished speaking, both Qingyuan and Hongluan pursed their lips and laughed.
The empress twisted her fingers a few times in her sleeves, and felt that Ren Baqian was too idle recently.
