Ding Ou stood up suddenly, glared at Sheng Xi angrily, and said in a blunt tone: "In that case, I won't be here to obstruct His Highness."
Sheng Xi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't lift his head when he heard his words, but lowered his head and ate another cherry.
Ding Ou sneered, when passing by Sheng Xi, he looked up and saw Sheng Lian not far away, his expression suddenly changed, he leaned to the side, pretending to be tripped and fell to the ground, he fell At that time, he grabbed Sheng Xi's wheelchair, and the pulleys of the wheelchair tilted, and Sheng Xi's whole body involuntarily threw himself forward.
The people around immediately screamed, Tang Qiyuan's complexion changed drastically, he was too far away from Sheng Xi, and Sheng Xi's fall was too sudden, when he wanted to reach out to help, it was too late.
Seeing that Sheng Xi was about to fall to the ground, a pair of powerful arms suddenly appeared, supporting Sheng Xi steadily, and Sheng Xi threw himself into his arms with a chair.
Tang Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, and was even more stunned when he looked up to see the man's face. The boy had a cute baby face, and he looked cute and fair, but how could he have so much strength? Not only can he support Sheng Xi, but he can also support Sheng Xi's wheelchair together? What surprised Tang Qiyuan even more was that he turned out to be an Alpha
Alphas are generally strong and tall, and there are very few fair and lovely ones like him.
The boy held Sheng Xi steady, looked at Sheng Xi and smiled, showing a pair of dimples, "Brother Xi, long time no see."
Sheng Xi looked up and saw the young man was stunned for a moment, his bright eyes were dazed, his eyes were a little dazed for a moment, as if he was looking at the young man, and he seemed to be looking at something through the young man.
He forgot to respond, and the boy didn't speak, but just looked at him with a smile, his eyes tolerant.
Sheng Cen ran over in a hurry when he heard the voice, and was startled when he saw the young man, "Yan Fei? Why are you back?"
"Brother Cen!" Yan Fei called loudly, and said with a smile, "My grandma's birthday is coming soon, I'll come back to see her."
Sheng Cen pursed his lips, and reached out his hand to stroke his hair like a brother, "It's grown a lot taller."
Sheng Xi came back to his senses, smiled at the boy, and said softly, "Xiao Fei, long time no see."
The smile on Yan Fei's face widened, and he stretched out his arms to hug Sheng Xi, with a coquettish tone, "Brother Xi, I miss you so much!"
Sheng Xi's movements stiffened for a moment, then he gently touched the back of Yan Fei's head, smiled helplessly and said indulgently, "Why do you still like acting like a baby like when you were a child?"
Yan Fei let go of Sheng Xi, blinked at him, smiled so much that his gums were exposed, and looked lively and naive, but Tang Qiyuan stood aside, but felt that the end of his eyes looked sly, especially when he looked at him. Xiang Shengxi's eyes were extraordinarily bright.
The emperor stood in the distance and saw the commotion here. He walked over with an ugly face, glanced at Ding Ou who fell to the ground, frowned displeasedly, and ordered: "Help him up and send him home."
Ding Ou got up from the ground by himself, he wanted to embarrass Sheng Xi, but he didn't expect that it was himself who made embarrassment, so he was very annoyed.
He tidied up his clothes and said in a bit of embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I'm fine, I didn't mean to..."
The emperor didn't even look at him, but said disgustedly to Sheng Lian beside him: "Hurry up and get someone to send him back."
The emperor always loves saving face, Ding Ou caused trouble at his charity auction, even though Ding Ou is Mrs Zhenwei's nephew, the emperor couldn't hide his anger, and he didn't want to see him.
It is conceivable that if Yan Fei hadn't hugged Sheng Xi just now, and it was Sheng Xi who made the emperor lose face, then his face would be even uglier now.
Ding Ou was reluctantly pulled away by Sheng Lian, Sheng Lian's face was as ugly as Ding Ou's, this time Ding Ou didn't trick Sheng Xi, he still looked very unwilling.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Fei walked in front of the emperor and called out crisply, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, looking very pleasing.
When the emperor saw him, the anger on his face dissipated, he smiled, and said softly, "Xiao Fei is back."
Yan Fei nodded, and stood and exchanged a few words with the emperor. The emperor kept smiling, and Tang Qiyuan could tell that the emperor liked him very much.
Sheng Cen looked in his eyes lightly, and lowered his head slightly to explain to Tang Qiyuan, "Xiao Fei is the grandson of Mr. Yan in the cabinet. You should know Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan is highly respected. He was the one who supported my father back then, so my father The emperor naturally cares for Yan Fei."
Tang Qiyuan nodded. He had heard his father say that Mr. Yan was upright and that the safety of the empire was the priority in everything in his life. The reason why he chose to support the current emperor was because the other brothers of the emperor were more It's bad, all of them are either extravagant, or cruel and tyrannical, all of which are not good, and now the emperor will at least try to put on a bit of an emperor's proper appearance for the sake of face.
The master of ceremonies walked up to the emperor, bowed his head respectfully and whispered a few words in his ear. The emperor smiled after hearing this, stretched out his hands to tidy up his clothes and neckline, raised his head and said to everyone, "The auction is about to start. Alright, let's go now."
Everyone moved to the auction house together. The emperor naturally liked this kind of thing that concentrated the glory and the camera. He personally spoke on the stage and spoke impassionedly about his contribution and dedication to the empire. Everyone listened quietly. His face showed admiration and joy, but there was a wordless indifference in the corners of his eyes and brows. The people here are all interested in their interests first, and no one really cares about his so-called glorious deeds.
After the auction started, the first item was an antique donated by the emperor. Those who wanted to curry favor with him immediately began to scramble for it, showing that they were bound to get it.
Seeing that the things he photographed were so scrambled for, the emperor couldn't help showing joy, and silently remembered these active people in his heart.
The second item was a celadon vase donated by Empress Xia, which was finally photographed by representatives of the Xia family. After all, this auction was just to celebrate the emperor's birthday. Even if they had done a good deed, the Xia family would show sincerity at this time, to show that the relationship between the Xia family and the emperor had not yet disintegrated.
After the third item was released, everyone looked at Sheng Xi in surprise, because the name of the donor of this item had Sheng Xi's name written on it, which had never been seen in previous years.
The auctioneer on the stage explained loudly, "This painting was drawn by the eldest prince himself. It is worth a lot and has great significance. The auction starts now!"
Tang Qiyuan looked up at the painting on the big screen. The painting donated by Sheng Xi depicted a sunrise. It was the same as what he and Sheng Xi saw that morning. The sun rose from the horizon and shone golden. , eye-catching and gentle, cool and full of warmth.
He unconsciously showed a light smile of relief, and gradually everyone's exclamations came from around. Most of the people here often go to art exhibitions and various art auctions, and they can naturally see Sheng Xi's skills in painting .
Everyone was amazed by Sheng Xi's talent, and even more amazed by his talent in art. It turns out that this eldest prince is not useless, but has a blockbuster ability.
Sheng Xi's paintings use bright and rich colors, delicate and soft lines. Anyone who knows how to paint can see from his paintings that he is not as gloomy as the rumors say, but he lives very sunny and transparent, with gentle eyes Looking at the world.
Some people couldn't help feeling pity, if the eldest prince's leg hadn't been injured, how radiant would he be now? Everyone thought this way, and unconsciously began to think of the accident that year. Is the truth of the incident really as simple as they know
The emperor looked at everyone's probing eyes, and his face unconsciously became ugly. He gave Sheng Xi a hard look, and asked coldly, "Who allowed you to donate the painting without permission?"
He looked up at Sheng Cen, and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "I obviously asked you to take out something to donate, when did I ask you to give the quota to your brother?"
Sheng Cen looked at him and sneered, his voice was cold and piercing, "Since this is a charity auction, it's understandable for my brother to want to do charity. Anyway, he is doing good deeds. It doesn't matter if it's me or my brother? Why don't you want to, Father?" ?”
The tone of Sheng Cen's last sentence could not help but sneer.
The emperor asked Sheng Cen to donate things to show everyone that their father and son are of one mind, that the family is harmonious, and that he can save his own face, but it is not like now that Sheng Xi has the opportunity to show his edge.
The emperor held back his anger. Today, Sheng Xi and Sheng Cen repeatedly disobeyed his orders. His anger has accumulated to the peak, but the auction has already started. He can only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart. smile.
There are a lot of people bidding for Sheng Xi's paintings. They are not here to curry favor or profit this time, but simply appreciate Sheng Xi's paintings and Sheng Xi's tenacity.
Empress Xia stood in the crowd and secretly pressed the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were shining with soft light. She was proud of her son, but also sad for him.
If her son didn't have a leg injury, he should have had a good life, but she didn't protect him well, and because her son had a father with no conscience, she couldn't help but look at the emperor with a bit of resentment Well, she can stop hating her own life, but she will never allow this cruel man to ruin the lives of her two sons again.
Sheng Cen reached out and patted Empress Xia on the shoulder. Empress Xia glanced at her son, tears hid in her eyes and did not fall. She straightened her back strong and kept smiling lightly, not letting the soreness in her heart continue to spread.
The auction for this painting lasted for a long time, and finally ended with Yan Fei uttering an astonishing number.
When Sheng Xi heard Yan Fei's bid, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Yan Fei helplessly. The auction price of this painting had already exceeded his expectations, so he quickly said, "Fei Fei, you don't have to..."
"Brother Xi, I like this painting of yours very much." Yan Fei looked at him with crooked eyebrows and a sincere tone, it seemed that he really liked this painting.
The emperor stood aside and smiled, and said in a magnanimous and graceful manner: "Xixi, Fei'er appreciates your works and is willing to do good deeds, so don't say more."
Yan Fei's auction price just now was neither high nor low, just a hundred yuan less than the item that the emperor just auctioned, which saved the emperor enough face, and also expressed his respect for the emperor by the way. Very satisfied, even Sheng Xi's unhappiness about donating the paintings without authorization faded away.
Sheng Xi pursed his lips and didn't object any more. No matter what, it's always a pleasure for someone to appreciate his paintings.
