Prince Rui had already taken his seat, the Gong Prince waited for a while before getting up and standing in the middle of the field. However, the courtiers were still constantly congratulating Le Chengdi, not giving him any face. What Emperor's good fortune, Qi Yuan's prosperity, especially the people in Prince Rui's faction, it was simply a deluge of heavenly flowers, as if because of this white tortoise, Qi Yuan could stand for thousands of years without falling.
Because he already knew that his birthday gift was inferior to the previous two, he didn't want to take it out, but his own will and being forced by others were two different things. That's right, in the Gong Prince's view, he was deliberately targeted, each and every one of them wanted him to make a fool of himself. He was standing in the middle of the field, but these people were endlessly praising the previous person's gift, what difference was there between him and that clown? However, the Gong Prince thought of the current situation and held back, because he knew that at this time, showing an expression that he shouldn't be showing would be courting death. After all, Le Chengdi was in a good mood, if he showed an expression, it would be absolutely disappointing. Therefore, he maintained a smile, maintained his poise, and wanted to see if these people could keep talking.
To say that no one was a fool, if they went too far, Le Chengdi wouldn't think that he was biased, it wouldn't benefit Prince Rui in the slightest, and it would make the other country's envoys laugh at them. Therefore, some people gradually stopped, and stopped before going too far.
The Gong Prince glanced at them, – if you have the guts, then keep talking ah?
The Gong Prince pretended to brush his robes, and then greeted Le Chengdi, "This time, I've been beaten by my two elder brothers, Imperial Father, please don't dislike this subject son."
Le Chengdi was in a good mood, with the Gong Prince's words as a foreshadowing, the following things, even if they were inferior, it wouldn't make Le Chengdi unhappy.
The Hundred Life Embroidered Screen was brought up, although it was inferior to the previous two, it was done with great care, and compared to the Ten Thousand Life Rune Venerable, the font was more clear at a glance, so naturally there were more people who could appreciate it, and those who liked embroidery wouldn't necessarily feel that it was inferior to the Ten Thousand Life Rune Venerable. For example, Jingwan was more inclined to this embroidered screen.
Li Hongyuan reached out to hold Jingwan's hand, and moved closer, "Wan Wan, don't worry."
Jingwan was slightly surprised. She tilted her head to look at him and lowered her voice, "Why does Wang Ye say this?"
Li Hongyuan also understood that he had probably misunderstood. "Just now, I saw that your expression was strange. I thought that you were worried after seeing their birthday gift."
Jingwan chuckled. "It's not because of that. It's because of that turtle." She gently glanced to the side, seeing that everyone's attention was on the Hundred Life Embroidered Screen, she continued, "White turtles are actually a kind of whitening phenomenon of ordinary turtles, their whole body is white, only their eyes are bright red, and their neck is transparent, very much like a carved work of art. They are more afraid of light, and may have other diseases. It's hard to say what this turtle is like, maybe it's just that it's white, nothing else is affected. Because it's white, it's easy for natural enemies to find it and attack it, so it's more difficult for it to survive than normal individuals. Therefore, the number of white turtles should be more than what people know. This kind of turtle should be more difficult to raise than ordinary turtles. In the process of raising it, it's hard to say whether its color will change, and if there's too much light, then … "Something like a sick turtle wasn't that serious. After all, this kind of whitening phenomenon wasn't rare in the animal world, such as white snakes, white rabbits, white mice, white monkeys, white foxes, white lions, white tigers, and so on. However, it was never said whether they were sick or not. Their genes were usually stable, and they didn't have any diseases. Because of their appearance, it was true that it was harder to survive without the protective color.
Li Hongyuan understood Jingwan's meaning, and his heart felt a little strange. White turtles had always been known as the incarnation of the gods. Once they appeared, it was said to be an auspicious sign. He originally thought that Li Hongming had gotten lucky this time, but now it seemed that this luck wasn't so good. Regardless of whether the turtle itself had any diseases, even if it didn't, raising it was a big problem. It was too easy to make a fuss about it. What did a white turtle mean? Everyone knew that if something went wrong, it would definitely implicate more than one or two people.
"When the situation is unstable, it's actually not wise to send a living thing. However, in my opinion, it's not wise to send a living thing at any time. If someone really wants to frame you, not to mention killing it, just making it look sick is enough to make people eat their heads off. Since it's a living thing, especially if it's offered as a birthday gift, it will inevitably be linked to the person who gave it away. Moreover, a white turtle is a living thing that is linked to the fate of the country. It's a good omen, but the accompanying risk is also considerable."
Li Hongyuan nodded, "So, Wan Wan's choice is very good."
"Your Highness, are you deliberately mocking me?" Jingwan raised her eyebrows. She didn't put any thought into the choice at all. It was completely to save trouble. It was a joke from a TV series in her previous life.
"This husband is just telling the truth." No effort, no money, it can be done casually, how could it not be good. Although the birthday gifts that he had presented in the past, he had only casually picked one from the rewards. Where it came from, it would go back to where it came from. Perhaps it would end up in his hands in the end. In terms of carelessness, who could compare to him? But even so, every year at the birthday celebration, if others didn't have it, he would have it.
At this time, the Gong Prince had already returned to his seat. Speaking of which, the Hundred Longevity Embroidered Screen was also a first-class thing, but he wasn't too lucky. However, he still received a reward from Le Chengdi. As long as he received three in a row, he would basically get a share of the rest. What's more, there was an envoy from another country, so it was time to show off. It was also precisely because of the presence of the envoys from other countries that the birthday gifts, which were originally carefully prepared, were put in more effort. When they learned that the envoys from other countries would come to participate in the birthday celebration, they changed the birthday gifts. Therefore, no matter what, it would not be bad. What would be different would probably be the rewards that would be given later.
Therefore, the sickly Fifth Wangye, who didn't appear in the past few years, also did well this time, receiving a few words of praise from Le Chengdi.
Because of the Fifth Wangye's body, he had long given up on the idea of seizing the throne. Because his body simply couldn't bear to think too much. If he wanted to prolong his life as much as possible, he must relax his body and mind. Even when he was still studying in the palace, his schoolwork was much less than the other brothers. The teachers who taught them didn't have any requirements for him.
Therefore, no matter what Le Chengdi's attitude towards him was, he was unfazed.
Next was the living King of Hell who was "in the limelight". It couldn't be helped, the existence of Jin Wangye was really too special. The envoys who arrived in the capital two days before Qi Yuan still didn't have the time to understand Li Hongyuan, but those who came early were different. They had enough time to patiently and carefully understand. Speaking of which, this matter wasn't considered difficult because it was basically a well-known matter. However, the more they understood, the more they felt that it was inconceivable and contradictory, and the more special it was. He was obviously the one with the least power, but it was hard to not pay attention to him.
After Li Hongyuan came out from his seat, many people marveled at his appearance. Of course, there were also those who looked down on him, such as the Xiongnu. For example, there were many tribes in the north who paid attention to that kind of exposed strength and toughness. People like Li Hongyuan, in their eyes, were just like the Qi Yuan people who didn't have a single redeeming feature.
Li Hongyuan stood in the middle of the main hall. His face was still expressionless, and he just turned his head to let people bring up the birthday gift.
There was no mystery, no concealment, just unusually straightforwardly put the thing next to him. When everyone saw the thing clearly, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. What was this situation? Speaking of which, didn't Jin Wangye say that he was the richest among all the yellow seeds? Even if there was no Longevity Tattoo Venerable, there should be a rare treasure like the white tortoise, right?
It was rare for Le Chengdi to be a little annoyed with this son of his. He loved this son so much, but at this time, he actually slapped his face? But thinking about it, it also didn't seem right ah …
"Long live Fuhuang, a bucket of Jiang Shan (Unify the Country)." Li Hongyuan unhurriedly said these eight words.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized. Although it was just a bucket full of ginger, when piled up, it was like a mountain, unifying the country. For an Emperor, was there any higher expectation than this? Even if it was just an Emperor without any ambition, he would absolutely not refuse such praise. Although for other countries, this was probably very provocative. If it was only the people of Qi Yuan, there was no problem at all. However, who was Li Hongyuan? The arrogance and condescension of the King of Hell had reached the peak of perfection.
"Good, good –" Le Chengdi laughed loudly. How could this son lose face for him? Although this year's birthday gift was the most worthless, in fact, it was the most valuable and also the most attentive. Whether it was from the heart of an Emperor or from the heart of a father, Le Chengdi was quite happy at this moment.
In this way, the cheapest birthday gift, in an instant, was comparable to that white tortoise. It could even be said that it was better.
Emperors sat on vast lands and innumerable wealth. No matter what kind of rare treasures were, they were nothing in their eyes. They were far inferior to things with a good meaning.
"Fuhuang, there is another gift. It was made by my wife. Originally, I should have given it to you in private, but in my opinion, it is more appropriate to give it to you now."
"Oh? What is it? Show it to me. "
Li Hongyuan asked someone to bring in the gift. It was a long brocade box. Jingwan was also surprised. She didn't expect that this gift would be taken out in front of her face.
Le Chengdi's servant came down from the side of the throne, took the gift, opened the brocade box, took it out, and was about to open it …
"Fuhuang, it's better for you to open this painting yourself. As for whether you want to let others see it or not, it's better for you to decide after you see it."
Li Hongyuan's words naturally aroused people's curiosity, not only Le Chengdi.
Le Chengdi still did as Li Hongyuan said. He took the painting, waved the servant away, and unfolded it. When it was only a third of the painting, he suddenly stood up from the throne. The expression on his face suddenly changed. The smile disappeared completely. After a blank expression, his eyes became particularly sentimental. There seemed to be a faint trace of tears in his eyes. His hands couldn't stop trembling. He seemed to be particularly careful, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally damage the painting. He was so attracted by the painting that he even forgot the current situation …
"Fuhuang …" Li Hongyuan's voice rose by three notches.
Le Chengdi was suddenly awakened. Then he realized that he had forgotten himself. He looked at Li Hongyuan, slowly sat back, and gently rolled up the painting. "You said that it was painted by your wife?" Le Chengdi's voice was a little hoarse.
"Yes. From the painting to the final framing, it was done by Her Highness. Except for me, Her Highness, and Fuhuang, no one else saw it." Well, it was actually Li Hongyuan who framed it.
Le Chengdi's eyes fell on Jingwan. "My sixth daughter-in-law is very thoughtful. This painting is very sincere. I have never received such a suitable birthday gift. It should be rewarded. Just tell me what you want." This was a big promise.
Jing Wan hurriedly got up, "I'm not worthy of Imperial Father's praise. This daughter-in-law originally did not want any reward. I just wanted to express my filial piety. Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. It should have been the same as the other birthday gifts, but I didn't expect Prince to present it so seriously."
Le Chengdi naturally thought that this coincidence was the trip to the Pei Residence in Jiangnan. "My sixth daughter-in-law is right. This painting is worth it. If she can't appear here, who can?"
