Chapter 37

"It's like Qinghu's handwriting."

When Emperor Qingming spoke, he looked down at Xiaoyin and said with a smile, "sure enough, it's really him."

Qinghu is Xu Yun's word.

Before the first emperor ascended the throne, Emperor Qingming and the Xu brothers also played with the mud and poked the horse honeycomb together.

"Yes," said the queen with a smile, "looking at Daqing, Mr. Xu should be the best at painting orchids."

Emperor Qingming nodded: "it happens that the queen always likes orchids, elegant and indifferent."

The queen did not deny it, but looked at it carefully for a moment.

The orchid in the painting is really very spiritual.

However, looking at it carefully, I only feel that the weeds behind the hard stones are more wanton... It seems that I have made a bit of taboo of seizing the host and the guest.

He was still complaining about her.

It was so reluctant to paint her birthday.

"It seems that the queen likes this painting very much?"

The queen nodded: "I really like it."

"It's rare to hear you say you like it." emperor Qingming looked very happy and said with a loud smile: "so I'll give a big reward to the Xu girl -"

While talking, he looked in the direction of the banquet.

Xu Mingyi got up at the sound and bowed towards the empress. He said, "the things offered by the minister's daughter can be liked by the empress. I'm flattered. I don't dare to ask for a reward."

The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and her tone was just respectful: "besides, it's not so much a birthday gift for the queen as a thank-you gift."

"Thank you?"

Emperor Qingming looked at the queen and saw that she was also puzzled, so he smiled and asked, "I don't know where to start with this word of thanks?"

"Not long ago, when my daughter was born, the queen gave her a silk silk fan. I heard that the peace knot tied on the fan was made by the queen herself. At that time, my daughter was hurt by people and was ill. It was after I got the peace fan given by my mother that I was able to find out the truth and detoxify the poison."

The girl's tone was serious and grateful, and her eyes were bright: "I think it must be the blessing of the empress's benevolence that can make this turn for the better. For this, my daughter has always been grateful. Just borrow the empress's eternal joy to express her gratitude."

"I don't know there's such a thing." emperor Qingming's eyes looking at the queen were full of undisguised praise: "the queen is kind-hearted. This is the blessing of Daqing."

As soon as this remark was made, there were countless echoes at the dinner.

During the women's family dinner, most people turned their attention to Xu Mingyi, who had just sat down again.

Xia Xi was secretly angry.

Similarly, they all prepared other gifts, and her share must be the most valuable. Why did she make Xu Mingyi such a limelight?

The praises from all around fell on her ears.

"Miss Xu is also blessed..."

"It's no wonder the empress likes her so much."

Without thinking about it, it will be a good talk if the matter is spread.

Cui's heart was in a mess.

Why didn't she know that the peace knot on the fan was made by the queen herself?

Aware of Cui's confusion, Xu Mingyi, with a shallow smile on his face, said in his heart - it's normal for her mother to know this. Maybe even the queen may not know who made the peace knot, because she made it up.

Even if the queen gave her a fan, it is unknown whether she is really reminding the Xu family.

If she guesses right, this is a response. If she guessed wrong, the empress was so intelligent that she could certainly realize that she "guessed wrong", and it was also a good choice to make a mistake -- in any case, she could use it to convey the kindness of the Xu family to the empress.

The Wu family is not their enemy, even if they make trouble in the eyes of outsiders.

It is the most eye-catching, but also the least suspicious, for her to express her gratitude to the queen at the mouth of a little girl.

During the dinner, Wu Tsui looked at the hazy figure across the screen.

Miss Xu secretly courted him that night, and today she courted his aunt——

If it was the intention of the town government, he clearly heard that night that she was guiding the town government.

Not to mention the recent insults of the town government to his father and son

He knew that the attitude of the Duke of the town was so fierce that he was deliberately showing it to some people, but... He also felt that the old man had no good feelings for them.

Therefore, it is very likely that this kind offer is only the intention of the Xu family girl, at least for now.

What exactly is she trying to do?

Is it to win over the Wu family—— But a little girl, even if she is smarter than ordinary people, suddenly has this idea and action, which is too strange.

In contrast, the terrible guess that would have been left behind by him could not help floating in the young man's mind at this time.

It's not that he thought too much. In fact, there were countless women who loved him at first sight in Ningyang. He experienced too many things

I hope he's gone.

The boy took a sip of wine alone.

Amid the sound of silk music, the graceful dancer danced in the hall.

During the banquet, there was a constant sound of conversation and laughter, and several officials invited Wu Tsui to drink.

"I'm still injured and it's inconvenient to drink too much. I hope you adults don't blame me." the young man said casually.

Several officials nodded understandably, but they already scolded in their hearts - they can drink by themselves, but it's inconvenient for them to drink too much?!

No matter how bad it is, don't you know that there is a saying called replacing wine with tea?

Although young people are good-looking, they are too familiar!

However, on second thought, the aristocratic family, such a long-standing aristocratic family, has not always been this superior style?

Or the Duke of the town and the king of Dingnan, even if they fought together, are still so incompatible!

Isn't it because the king of Dingnan dislikes that the Duke of the town is just a reckless man who can only cut people with knives, and the Duke of the town doesn't like the style of the king of Dingnan's family in every way!

The young man with noble temperament sat there with a slight look or two in his leisure, which fell into the eyes of the queen and made her sigh.

Aware that emperor Qingming's eyes also fell there, she reluctantly said: "... Ah yuan has been spoiled since childhood. It's OK to fool around in Ningyang... When I turn back, my concubine must ask someone to send a message to my brother and let the family discipline well."

Qingming emperor was very tolerant and said with a smile, "what's the matter? If he is still young this year, it's not a bad thing for young people to have a little pride."

As long as you still recognize your identity.

The Wu family should be more arrogant.

If Wu Chiu is really sleek and exquisite enough, he can't help thinking about whether the education of Dingnan King's descendants is inconsistent with the lofty tradition of the aristocratic family.

"How can even your majesty be so used to him..." the queen smiled and sighed: "in this way, you really want to make him ignorant of heaven and earth."

"When he was in Ningyang, he was still at ease. Why did he have to be tied up when he got to the capital? In this way, wouldn't it seem that my uncle was too harsh?" emperor Qingming half joked, and his tone was like talking home.

The queen laughed and did not answer this again.

Emperor Qingming looked out of the hall and said in a low voice, "by the way, why don't you see the prince?"
