Chapter 910: Holy Driver
At this time, the old housekeeper hurriedly came to Ling Juechen's side and whispered something to him in a low voice. Seeing her husband frowning slightly, Gu Ye subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Let's go, follow me to meet you!" Ling Juechen's voice was slightly helpless. His Royal Highness the crown prince is young, so he just likes to join in the fun, but the emperor's uncle is getting older, so he also joins in. Not only came out in microservices, but also brought his wife and children. This is the rhythm of the whole family coming to eat and drink!
When Ling Juechen said this, he didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the guests who were close to him naturally heard it too. Fortunately, most of the people had finished their paintings at this time, or else they would be so shocked that they couldn't hold their pens and ruined their own works?
It's already a great honor to have a party in the past, and occasionally come to a princess or prince or something. Take a look at Prince Ning's Mansion, a "full cow banquet", including three eldest princesses, two princes, nearly half of the clan members, and a favored princess, helping to entertain the guests.
This is not the most exciting yet! Who would have thought that the emperor would also visit Prince Ning's mansion in person? Isn't the favor of Ning Prince's Mansion too much?
Ling Juechen took the whole family to the front yard to meet him, and welcomed the emperor, queen, prince and two concubines, a princess, into the Dongkua courtyard. Well, suddenly Dongkua Courtyard huffed and knelt down.
The ministers were sweating all over their heads in the winter: So the emperor did not come alone, this...he came with his family, and it seemed that he was here to participate in the "All Cow Banquet". A small eating and drinking party has attracted the whole family of the emperor, isn't the charm too great? No wonder those who haven't received the post are racking their brains to get one!
"Let's get back together!" Emperor Sheng De looked at the familiar faces, pointed at King Qin and groaned at Ling Juechen, and said, "Well, you brat, you even invited him, but you didn't invite me. I am your real uncle, and I am not comparable to any messy relatives!"
The beads of sweat on King Qin's forehead came down all at once. Everyone else was flattened, but he knelt on the ground and dared not get up. It's not that he's timid, he would be soft-legged if it were someone else. The emperor is...jealous?
"Your Majesty forgive me, but my minister didn't receive the post. This minister is...beholden to my son." King Qin sold his youngest son cowardly.
"You haven't received the post either? Then I feel much more at ease!" Emperor Shengde stabbed him immorally, but he was still upset, "Boy, tell me clearly, the clan invited such a There are so many people, why did you leave me alone?"
Now the disciples of the grand master are panicking. Emperor Shengde waved his hands at them: "Okay! Get up! There are no monarchs and ministers today, only guests attending the banquet..."
"Your Majesty is very busy with state affairs, taking care of everything..." Ling Juechen said in his usual voice without any ups and downs.
"Fart!" It was fine if Ling Juechen didn't open his mouth, but when he did, Emperor Sheng De became even angrier, "No matter how busy I am, I can't spare enough time for a meal? You're just making an excuse! Rong He, look at your baby boy!" My good son, he doesn't have my uncle in his eyes at all!"
Princess Rong and the eldest princess smiled and said, "Brother Emperor, it's my sister who didn't think carefully. The two children are still young, so it's inevitable that she was negligent. Sister Chen failed to fulfill her duty of reminding..."
"Hmph! One or two of you, you don't have me at all in your heart!" What about my own sister, who held such a big event and left him behind. Too much!
The ministers secretly glanced at each other: Is this really their wise and wise emperor, His Majesty the Emperor, who is full of jealousy and temper? Too ruined the image, is there any?
Before the image of the emperor's uncle was completely shattered, Ling Juechen invited him into the flower hall of Dongkuayuan. Emperor Shengde glanced at the lively scene in the garden from a distance, and was upset again: "What? I am not worthy to have fun with my subjects? Is this a sacrifice to me? I am not a clay bodhisattva."
Gu Ye smiled and presented the dessert with his own hands: "Your Majesty, you are not a clay Bodhisattva, you are a golden Bodhisattva, the kind that is priceless if you knock off a little gold powder. Why don't you have to offer it!"
The emperor can show his face to his nephew, but he can't express his temper when facing his nephew and daughter-in-law who is a little genius doctor and a great pharmacist: "What are you doing outside? Don't you say 'All cattle feast'? All of them Let’s all start painting, so why don’t we come up with a picture of a hundred cows?”
"Your Majesty, that's a good idea! Why didn't we think of it!" Gu Ye was very sad.
Princess Rong and the eldest princess laughed and told the emperor about Gu Ye's little thoughts as a joke. Emperor Shengde looked left and right, his family seemed to be able to make a table, he smiled and said:
"Holding a banquet and asking someone else's paintings to pay for the food, this girl is really not at a disadvantage! However, I came a bit late, and it must be too late to paint. How about this, in order not to hurt the girl, I will Write a few words!"
"That's a good thing, I can't ask for it!" Gu Ye was stunned by this unexpected joy, and hurriedly ordered people to spread paper, serve pens, and grind ink...
"Benevolence and benevolence, skillful hand and loyalty" the eight powerful characters appear on the rice paper, and their strength penetrates the back of the paper. I have to say that Emperor Shengde's handwriting is really good, with everyone's demeanor. Even someone like Gu Ye who doesn't know calligraphy thinks it's well written!
After finishing writing, Emperor Shengde signed his name and stamped his personal seal. Gu Ye took it happily: "I will treasure this picture after I frame it. This is a family heirloom of our family!"
When Emperor Shengde saw the prince and the little princess, he glanced outside from time to time, and said, "What stage is it going on outside? You can go if you want to see it! That's fine, what should you do, Mu Qing stays here to accompany I'll just talk."
A series of works were posted outside. The prince happily squeezed into the male guest's side, while the little princess Roufu was taken to the female guest's area and handed over to her own sister——Princess Hejia.
It is rare for Concubine Tong and Concubine Qin to come out of the palace, so naturally they would not miss such excitement. They came to the ladies' area and greeted the familiar ladies of the first and second grades.
The four masters of the male elderly group were selected to appraise the paintings of other groups. The posted paintings have not been signed yet, and the name and seal will be added after the results are released. This is a more fair assessment.
Many people gathered in front of Gu Ye's sketches to look at it freshly. Her paintings did not belong to any group and were hung alone in one place. The little princess Roufu saw it and opened her eyes wide: "This is Cousin Ning Wang!"
Everyone is not blind, so they naturally know that the character in the painting is King Ning. However, since she is the emperor's favorite little princess and it is the first time she is out of the palace to attend a banquet, no one will hate her. The key point is that my sister's mouth is not forgiving!
Several calligraphers and painters lingered in front of the sketch. Generally, those who can stand on their own are always obsessed with calligraphy and painting. When encountering new painting techniques, they can't help but stop to watch, trace, and even want to understand this technique. Even Master Yuan couldn't bear to take his eyes off the painting.
Gu Ye saw that it was late, and if he didn't judge, he wouldn't be able to catch lunch. Eat early, and send those two in the flower hall back early. She stopped in front of the portrait of her husband, bowed and bowed to several old painters who had long forgotten their responsibilities, and said witty words in her mouth:
"I know, our prince was born so well that people can't take their eyes off. However, now is not the time to look at people, let's decide the ranking first. Everyone is still waiting to find out who will win the lottery! Our prince is right there, run away I won’t drop it, I want to see it... I will generously let everyone see it well enough!”
As soon as she said this, the girls and daughters-in-law who were watching immediately turned red and scattered. Several old painters and Mr. Yuan, who could be the age of King Ning's mother, just smiled helplessly, shook their heads and left.
Soon, the first, second and third of the three groups of female guests, young, middle-aged and elderly were selected. Princess Chaoyang lost the election, but her daughter won the second place in the youth group. Several calligraphers and painters commented on her paintings: Although the technique is a little immature, but the spirit is compelling, and the "soul" of Yingxue Zhenzhumei is drawn. If there is a famous teacher to guide and make unremitting efforts, she may not be able to become a master in the future!
Princess Chaoyang looked at her daughter's shy and joyful expression, she was even happier than she had won the award. After today, my daughter should not resist attending the party, right? My daughter is thirteen years old, and she is approaching the age of marriage, so she can't stay at home all the time!
Wan Linfang didn't expect her mother to be the third place in the middle-aged group. Although she only narrowly beat the fourth place, she was also the third place! Caitou is a high-end skin care product worth thousands of taels!
Mrs. Wan excitedly held her daughter's hand tightly! Very good! When the time comes to put this lottery in the daughter's dowry, the husband's family will also be able to look up to the daughter.
Twenty years ago, when the father-in-law was in the Wan family, they were close friends with King Qin. At that time, the Wan family had not yet fallen. But now...Although King Qin is just an idle prince, it is highly desirable for the Wan family to marry him. If it wasn't for the child Xian Rong's insistence, I'm afraid that such a good marriage would not be their turn.
The daughter married and gave this set of tailor-made high-end cosmetics to her mother-in-law. Maybe it can make my mother-in-law take a look at it. The future son-in-law has three older brothers, all of whom are much older than him. The sisters-in-law are also from famous families... I can't help Madam Wan not to worry-oh, poor parents!
The evaluation of the male elderly group is the first, second and third place in other groups, and it is decided by secret ballot. Some of the four famous calligraphers and painters are good at fine brushwork and some are good at freehand brushwork. They have different specialties, so it is difficult to evaluate them. They are also almost neck and neck in fame, and their paintings are rare treasures outside, and they are very valuable for collection.
At the last count of the votes, the four old calligraphers and painters were evenly voted. Fifteen people voted, and it was pleasant to have five votes, which is not to offend anyone! They can't all be number one, can they? Whose advantage is this taking advantage of?
