After receiving the compliment, Chu Chengyao was neither arrogant nor impatient, and sat down with a few words of humility.
When Concubine Rou and the little princess saw this, their faces were full of pride.
Chu Chengyi and Chu Chengping played a piano and flute ensemble that also won the house's acclaim.
After everyone finished their performance, the two brothers Gu Ruizhou and Lin Jinyan, who were named, saluted and stood up.
Gu Ruizhou: "Your Majesty, the Weichen brothers specialize in wielding swords and swords on weekdays. The six arts are just superficial. They really dare not show their embarrassment in front of Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Queen."
The emperor smiled lovingly: "General Anbei is humbled. Since he is focusing on martial arts, he might as well show off a set of swords and let everyone see the heroic appearance of a brave general on the battlefield."
Gu Ruizhou: "In this way, the humble minister will be embarrassed."
Lin Jinyan saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I have been away from Kyoto for a long time. When I was free in Cang Sheng Mountain, I only painted some flowers and plants to pass the time. Therefore, I can only barely catch my eye with paintings. I wasted some time on painting. While the two brothers performed their art, I started Paint so as not to waste time.”
Everyone looked at the beautiful girl who was speaking. She spoke in a calm and unhurried voice like a clear spring. She was wearing a dress that alternated between tooth red and jade, which brought out the girl's beautiful complexion. The two clusters of orchids on the skirt added a sense of elegance and elegance.
The gentle and spiritual bun has a ruby hairpin and hairpin, and the satin-like ink-colored long hair is spread all over the back. The ruby earrings in the shape of water droplets echo with the hair accessories, making the neck even more white and slender. It not only has the charm of a girl, but also shows the dignity of a lady.
The girl's outstanding appearance had already caused everyone to look at her secretly, but her ability to speak out attracted everyone's attention, and many people had a look of amazement in their eyes.
Emperor: "Huh? Are you the Grand Tutor's granddaughter? She really is a woman who has changed her age. She was beautiful when she was young. She didn't want to be so shy when she grew up. She really inherited the good looks of Gu and Lin's family. .Has the injury been healed?"
Lin Jinyan: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The injury has recovered. It's just that the body is weaker than others. It's not a serious problem."
Emperor: "Some time ago, Kyoto was poisoned by Mobei people. You and the general's wife saved countless people. I know that you are as kind-hearted as you were when you were young. Are you satisfied with the villa I gave you?"
Lin Jinyan saluted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's kindness is so great that every part of the villa is beautiful. I was just doing my duty. I was overjoyed to get the villa. I always wanted to go to the palace to thank you, but your majesty was busy with government affairs and did not dare to disturb me." I just take this opportunity today to thank His Majesty for your kindness."
While Lin Jinyan was talking, Shi Shiran walked to the palace and kowtowed devoutly to his superior.
The emperor laughed loudly: "You girl, it will save you trouble. Get up and paint. Just paint, there is no need to be afraid."
The Queen said kindly: "Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by Jin Yan's self-effacing words. This girl's painting skills are wonderful. Have you forgotten that the chrysanthemums I showed you after the flower party was from Jin Yan's painting?" hand."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said: "This is true. The queen was full of praises at the time. I was almost fooled by you. Go and draw it for me to see."
Lin Jinyan agreed, walked to the table, nodded to the waiter who was polishing the ink, and dipped his pen in the ink to calmly start writing.
Gu Ruizhou and Gu Yichen walked to the palace, saluted, took the swords from the chamberlain, and started fighting.
The two of them were going back and forth, and the sound of sword strikes was endless. Unlike Chu Chengye's spear dance, which was just for viewing, the two's sword skills had very few false moves and were mostly practical, with a cold wind that could break bamboos.
Everyone here was watching attentively. When the two men sheathed their swords, the hall burst into thunderous applause.
