The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 260
[Chapter 260 Promise to your painting]
Fang Xiu and Xiu’er were eating pastries. Unconsciously, time gradually passed, and soon it was noon.
Some relatives of the emperor who were close to Zhao Yan and Concubine Shu, as well as three cabinet bachelors, all came to the palace and took their seats.
Except for the three cabinet bachelors, Fang Xiu was not very familiar with the others, and there were even some people he had never seen before.
After some time, finally, the protagonist of this birthday party, Zhao Yan, walked out.
She stood in the middle of the hall, first bowed to everyone as a woman, then said some polite words, then walked to a seat at the front and sat down.
When we got here, the banquet was about to begin. However, there was still one person who was not present, so no one dared to make any mistakes.
The dancers also stood aside and waited.
Finally, Emperor Chu slowly walked in from outside the palace, followed by the eunuch Liu Cheng.
Emperor Chu walked to the front seat, sat down, looked around, with a smile on his face, and said: “Today is Yan’er’s birthday, and everyone here is also my closest person. Today’s banquet is just a family affair. It’s a banquet, you don’t have to be restrained, just enjoy yourself and have fun.”
When everyone heard this, they all smiled.
Then, Liu Cheng, who was beside Chu Dynasty, gave a few instructions in a low voice.
The next second, the dancers walked into the hall one after another, dancing gracefully to the ritual music.
Fang Xiu was eating cakes and looking at the dancers dancing in the hall, feeling very bored.
There is almost no difference between the original dancer and the original dancer in Yirenju. It is better to go to the Beijing Grand Theater to watch the TV series.
Next to her, Xiu’er watched with gusto and even praised her from time to time.
Emperor Chu sat at the front, raising his glass and drinking from time to time, or chatting with his uncle and cabinet bachelors on both sides.
After almost a stick of incense, perhaps because there were still memorials that had not been finished, Emperor Chu said a few polite words and left the palace.
After Emperor Chu left, the atmosphere suddenly became different.
Although the Emperor of Chu was a benevolent king, as the saying goes, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger.
With him here, no matter what he says or does, it makes people unable to let go.
As soon as Emperor Chu left, these relatives of the emperor felt much more relaxed and started chatting with each other.
Some people finally dared to get up and leave the table, drinking and having fun with people they knew well.
The atmosphere became lively for a while.
Seeing this scene, the three cabinet bachelors glanced at each other and saw a smile in each other’s eyes.
After all, this situation does not belong to them.
So, they all got up and left the palace.
After they left, Yongshou Palace completely turned into the familiar banquet look that Fang Xiu was familiar with.
This was Xiu’er’s first time to participate in such a banquet. Seeing this scene, she felt a little at a loss.
Especially after the dancers left, they didn’t know what to do.
Fang Xiu also felt a little speechless.
At the beginning, whether it was Prince Ning’s banquet or Yi Renju, there were at least a few people he knew well.
But here, looking around, there seemed to be people I had never seen before. The only people who could talk to each other were the Seventh Prince of the Grassland and Qiyan Yanran.
Thinking of this, Fang Xiu couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at the two of them.
But he saw the two of them looking at him.
This scene seems a bit ironic.
Fortunately, Wanyan Yanran was obviously mentally prepared for such a scene, and had participated in it more than once. After her eyes moved away from Fang Xiu, she began to search for the relatives of the emperors.
After a while, he seemed to have found a suitable target, so he turned around and walked over.
The seventh prince was a little confused.
Banquets are often held on the grassland, especially as a prince, he often attends such occasions.
It’s just that banquets on the grassland are often accompanied by competitions in riding and archery.
And as the seventh prince of the Qiyan tribe in the grassland, no matter where he goes, as long as it is not a banquet attended by the Khan of the Qiyan tribe, he will undoubtedly be the center of the banquet.
At this moment, facing the situation in front of him, he really didn’t know what to do.
After about a while of burning incense, he finally couldn’t stand the embarrassment and was about to get up and have a few words with Fang Xiu.
Unexpectedly, a graceful figure walked in front of Fang Xiu one step ahead of him.
“Don’t you often attend banquets like this? Why do you act like it’s your first time?”
Zhao Yan walked up to Fang Xiu, looked him up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a hint of teasing.
Fang Xiu glanced at Zhao Yan and said angrily: “Who told you that I often attend such banquets?
This time, if it wasn’t your birthday banquet, I would go to the Capital Theater to watch a play, wouldn’t it?”
Zhao Yan curled her lips when she heard this, but didn’t refute anything.
Xiuer on the side finally saw a familiar person, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she called out: “Miss Zhao”
Zhao Yan glanced at Fang Xiu angrily, then set her sights on Xiu’er, and said with a smile: “By the way, Xiu’er, do you still remember the first time I came to Fang Mansion?”
Xiu’er said with a smile.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: “Remember.” When
Zhao Yan heard this, the smile on her face became brighter and she said: “Just remember, I promised last time that I would let the best painter in the capital be the one. You paint.
He is here now. I will ask him to paint for you. You can paint whatever you want.” When
Fang Xiu heard this, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Painting?
How could he not remember at all what happened?
Xiu’er was also a little confused. After thinking about it, she finally understood what Zhao Yan meant. She immediately waved her hand and said, “No, no, I already think the master’s painting is very good.”
However, Zhao Yan pulled Xiu’er back. He took her hand and led her outside, smiling and saying: “You’re here, just take a look.
If you don’t like it, just take it out and sell it. If Master Wu’s paintings are taken outside, you can’t If
it’s worth hundreds of taels
, it can be sold for thousands of taels. This time, I specifically asked my father for help, and Master Wu agreed to paint for us. I can’t let this opportunity go to waste.”
Xiu’er .
Hearing this, the expression on his face became more anxious and he wanted to say something.
Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Zhao Yan: “I know what you want to say.
I don’t care. Anyway, last time I promised to let the best painter in the capital paint for you. What I mentioned, I will definitely do it.
Besides, why don’t you want something that is free, right?”
Seeing Zhao Yan’s resolute attitude, Xiu’er didn’t know what to do and looked at Fang Xiu for help.
Although Fang Xiu didn’t know what happened to them before, he heard about “paintings worth a thousand taels of silver”.
So, he cast an encouraging look at Xiu’er.
He still agreed with what Zhao Yan said.
If you don’t want something for free, why don’t you want it?
