Chapter 66 Congratulations

It was said before that Your Majesty wanted to marry Shu Yao to Xie Yanzhou. Although the prince felt sour, he could still comfort himself. Xie Yanzhou and Shu Yao were of equal status and grew up with her since childhood. No one is more suitable to be Shu Yao's husband than him.

But what qualifications does this guard from a humble background have to be the most noble princess of Xiao Xiang Dayong?

The tide of jealousy in his heart was like a sea, and the prince spoke in a cold tone, "Since Li served as the chief minister of the palace, he should abide by his duties."

The prince followed Emperor Yong for several years, and the emperor's aura was hidden between his eyebrows, and he was powerful without anger. Li Mingji lowered his gentle eyes, "I am obedient to your highness."

It is undeniable that the guard's etiquette is unmissible. But the more humble and respect he is, the more powerless the prince feels that he cannot control himself, just like facing his mother.

The queen is his biological mother, so it would be fine if he couldn't resist the queen, but how could he not even control a guard who covet his cousin? The prince looked at Li Mingji coldly, with a warning in his eyes.

He's better off having self-knowledge.

When the prince returned to the seat, Li Mingji's expression returned to carelessness.

He did not pay attention to the figure of the crown prince in his previous life. After all, the crown prince was married at that time and the crown prince's concubine was pregnant. After Xiao Sui entered the capital, the crown prince's family was imprisoned like Emperor Yong's family.

What qualifications does a coward who can’t even protect his family deserve his attention?

However, now in the palace, he has found a lot of interesting things.

The prince actually had a secret thought towards the little princess...

Li Mingji's thin lips curled lightly, but his smile was not enough to reach his eyes.

Those who know themselves should be the prince.

He noticed that someone seemed to be looking at him. Li Mingji's eyes turned sharp and he looked up, but found the little princess who was secretly staring at him.

When he peeked at the bag being caught, Shu Yao suddenly looked like a cat with only her tail stepped on, turning her head away from Li Mingji.

She just wanted to see where Li Mingji was. Why did he react so keenly? She also smiled at her...

Shu Yao almost hit the table in a panic. Princess Jiayi looked at her suspiciously: "What are you doing? You're rash."

Doesn’t she like to show off her dignified and elegant airs on such occasions? This is not like her at all.

Shu Yao's expression did not change, "I am just accidentally. I don't talk about food or sleep. Don't always stare at me."

Princess Jiayi was really angry by her and snorted coldly, "Pretending, who wants to see you?"

Li Mingji raised his eyes lightly and felt a little softer in his heart.

...

As the birthday banquet was in full swing, the gifts prepared by the ministers and nobles were presented to the stage one after another.

Shu Yao immediately sat upright, waiting for her gift to make a stunning appearance, and her uncle will definitely like it.

Princess Jiayi next to her asked, "Shu Yao, what gift did you prepare for your father?"

Shu Yao kept it a secret: "You will know right away."

"This is also going to be mysterious. You are so boring," Princess Jiayi complained a few times, remembered something, sneered coldly, and glanced at the noble lady's mat, "The Zheng family is in a big spot recently, the Cui family, and the Lu family are all cursing Zheng Yueyao, look at them."

Zheng Yueyao sat in the first place, with a graceful manner, and already had a denominator's attitude towards the world. There were many noble girls sitting beside her, and she seemed to have formed a small group.

The congratulations presented by the Zheng family to Emperor Yong were inkstones carved from beautiful jade. Jade has been a symbol of gentlemen since ancient times, and Emperor Yong’s study also contains many jade ornaments, which can be said to suit his preferences.

The list of gifts was not over yet, and the eunuch posted one by one with a sharp voice, and Shu Yao was drowsy.

"The Qinyang Hou Mansion presented a famous work "Hanshan Map" by Qingyan painter!"

Qingyan...?Isn't this Li Mingji?

Shu Yao widened her eyes in surprise and saw several palace servants coming over with the scroll and spread it out. It was a silk cloth ink stroke about half a meter tall.

This painting depicts the bleak mountain scenery in winter, and the tall and majestic mountain body occupy almost half of the space. However, the author uses both atmosphere and ingenuity to fully outline the strange, dangerous, steep and steep peaks.

The Queen of Qin Yang stood up at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, this picture was purchased by me by accident. It is said that the Qingyan painter took half a year to complete such a masterpiece. It has never been made public before. I will present it to Your Majesty."

Because Emperor Yong liked literature and ink, the officials of this dynasty knew more or less calligraphy and painting, so naturally they had heard of the great name of this painter. The painter, who called himself "Qingyan", had mysterious actions and only sold his works in Ning'an Temple at the beginning of spring every year to those with destiny. It was hard to find a fortune.

Many people speculate that Qingyan is a monk from Ning'an Temple, or a down-and-out scholar. Unfortunately, there are so many sayings, but no one has seen Qingyan's real person.

Emperor Yong had been sitting upright on the dragon chaise before. When he saw this silk painting, he couldn't help but get up and exclaimed, "The craftsmanship is exquisite and magnificent. It was indeed Qingyan's work. Qin Yanghou was interested. Come and appreciate it."

Emperor Yong was very happy, and the Queen of Qin Yang also swept away the gloomy period of the past and bowed proudly to thank him.

Qin Yanghou was also surprised that Pan was able to take out Qingyan's paintings. The lists listed by Li Qingchu were all things that had been given too much in previous years, and Emperor Yong didn't even look at them. Pan's congratulations obviously made a lot of preparations in advance, and he had tried his best to do anything.

After all, he was a woman who had been with him for more than ten years. How could he ignore Pan because of temporary conflicts? Li Qingchu is so youthful that it is just his entertainment. Only Pan understands him best.

Seeing that Li Mingji's work was taken out of Qin Yanghou, Shu Yao frowned and felt very unlucky.

However, if his uncle admired "Qingyan" so much, if Li Mingji had the intention to enter the painting academy, he would have become a famous painter in the world. Unfortunately, Li Mingji would not leave the painting academy and must be her guard.

Princess Jiayi muttered, "Qingyan? Where did the painter come from? Zhou Lang is not famous. If his father met Zhou Lang's calligraphy, he would definitely like it."

Shu Yao naturally responded: "Because Qingyan is more powerful than your Zhou Langjun."

Princess Jiayi: "…"

Didn’t Shu Yao usually have a higher eye than the top, but no one looked down on him? Why did he suddenly maintain a painter? It’s really inexplicable.

After reading the long gift list, it was finally Shu Yao's turn to give her a gift.

"Prince Huaxi gave a piece of "Ten Thousand Maps"!"

Finally, she was named, and Shu Yao blessed her body gracefully, with a pretty voice: "Uncle, Hua Xi presented this "Ten Thousand Maps" he personally painted to her uncle. I wish the Great Yong River was clear and the mountains and rivers were peaceful forever."

Emperor Yong's eyes were sore, and he strode off the dragon chaise and helped Shu Yao up, "Okay, okay, okay! Hua Xi's congratulations won my heart, and I have a lot of rewards!"

During this period, Emperor Yong issued many reform edicts, but was obstructed by powerful ministers, who advised him not to change the laws of his ancestors. He still didn't understand what the powerful ministers of these aristocratic families were thinking? They were not for the people of Da Yong at all, but were worried that they would lose power like the Xie family.

Emperor Yong had many expectations for this birthday party and wanted to explore the true ideas of these officials and nobles through congratulations. However, most people chose to protect themselves without making a clear statement, so only Shu Yao gave him the "Wanyu Map".

The innocent little lady naturally didn't understand court disputes. She just saw that she was busy with government affairs and worried about the people, so she went to her favor and offered her sincere and beautiful blessings. However, no one around Emperor Yong understood such a simple truth.
