Chapter seven hundred and seventy-fifth bone Ya offer treasure
The sky was getting a little darker, and the light of the lights reflected on the brocade silk. I don't know what the texture of the brocade silk was, but it actually glowed with bursts of light, coating the painting with a colorful fairy atmosphere.
In the center of the painting are the words "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" written with flying dragons and phoenixes, which is also gorgeous and eye-catching.
Everyone in the hall held their breath and carefully looked at this beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. Although their expressions were as usual, there was a trace of greed deep in their eyes that they didn't know whether they could hide or not.
If this splendid scenery of mountains and rivers was not a tribute sent to the Emperor of Dagang by the Guya Mission, I am afraid that the powerful ministers and princes in the palace would have tried their best to get it.
Emperor Wanlong stood up and took a few steps forward. He carefully looked at the flying dragons and snakes on the painting, and suddenly said in surprise: "This is not a painting, Master Xuanji, what is the origin of this painting?"
Lu Xuanji smiled and said: "Your Majesty has extraordinary eyesight, this painting is indeed not a painting."
After saying that, he took a glass of wine from the banquet and said loudly, "I'm sorry." Then he poured the wine on the screen.
Some people in the hall were surprised and lost their voices. Lu Xuanji laughed and said, "Everyone, please take a look."
Following Lu Xuanji's words, the wine on the painting was like water dripping from the eaves on a rainy day, dripping onto the ground through the brocade silk as if it were nothing, leaving no trace on the painting.
"It has the magical effect of repelling water!" Li Chengye nodded approvingly and said with a smile, "It is indeed a treasure."
"Although things that have the effect of repelling water are rare, they are not uncommon. However, there is another difference in this painting." Rangsi Hanshan said loudly.
"Oh, I would like to hear the details."
Rangsi Hanshan glanced around and looked at a palace servant holding a lamp. He smiled casually and said, "Get some fire."
The chamberlain didn't know why, and looked around suspiciously, but didn't dare to carry the palace lantern forward. Emperor Wanlong became interested, waved his hand and said, "I'll hold the lantern for Prince Rang Si. I'd like to have a look."
The chamberlain quickly walked over, and Rangsi Hanshan took out the incense candle from the palace lantern, smiled slightly, and put the flame of the candle on the brocade silk to burn it.
This time, the courtiers and officials in the palace felt better and knew that this thing was not an ordinary thing. Although there was still a look of shock on their faces, they fortunately did not scream out in surprise and focused on looking at the painting in the candlelight.
A few breaths passed, and a few more breaths passed, and there were more and more whispers in the hall, not hiding the surprise and eagerness.
The painting on the candlelight has not changed at all. Not only has it not been burned by the candlelight, not even the slightest bit of charred color has been stained.
Lu Xuanji glanced at Rangsi Hanshan gently, indicating that he could stop.
Rangsi Hanshan took off the incense candle, clasped his fists in a salute, and retreated.
After a few breaths, Emperor Wanlong recovered from the shock and smiled happily: "What a treasure that is invulnerable to water and fire!"
Lu Xuanji smiled and said: "This gift is also very famous in our Guya. Indeed, as the Holy One said, this painting was not painted, but embroidered, and the silk thread used is not ordinary silk thread, but a kind of grass from the sea."
It is embroidered with the fur of rare spiritual beasts, and the colors are also arranged according to the color of the fur of the spiritual beasts. There are only three pieces of Gu Ya in recent years, and this is one of them to show my sincerity, King Gu Ya."
"Good." Emperor Wanlong was full of praise and was extremely satisfied with Gu Ya's attitude. He pointed at the painting and commented enthusiastically.
Several important ministers and princes of the court came closer, gathered around the painting and looked at it carefully, nodding their heads, and in response to Emperor Wanlong's interest, they did not forget to thank Lu Xuanji and others.
Lu Xuanji stood aside quietly with a smile, while Rangsi Hanshan and Rangsikui looked at each other indifferently. Although there was nothing unusual about them, there was always a sense of watching them with cold eyes.
Emperor Wanlong laughed heartily and said: "Concubine Yun, how about you come and take a look at this painting?" Emperor Wanlong was very happy. At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten about the arrival of the Guya envoy that everyone had speculated during the previous discussion in the palace.
The person’s bad intentions.
Concubine Yun moved lightly, walked to the painting, took a closer look, and said softly: "When the wind comes, the goshawk painting is special." She is thinking of a cunning rabbit, and her sideways eyes are like a sad beard.
The tapestry is so light that it can be rolled out, and the canopy and couplets are powerful. Why should I attack ordinary birds and scatter their hair and blood on the grassland?
This painting of an eagle striking the sky is truly excellent. What’s even more rare is that the embroiderers are better than the masters in Dagan Palace. I can’t make such a painting, nor can I embroider such precious patterns. I don’t know.
Whose handiwork is it?"
Concubine Yun was gentle and elegant, quiet and comfortable, and had a charming appearance. Liang Si Hanshan was slightly startled, and turned to glance at Liang Sikui beside him. He seemed not to have expected that there would be a woman in Dagan whose appearance was not inferior to that of his sister, and
The Princess Dagan in front of her had a more feminine charm that Rang Sikui did not have.
"Your Majesty, you are too praised." Ruang Sikui said softly.
Concubine Yun's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "It turns out it was made by Princess Kui. It's really amazing."
Rang Sikui smiled faintly and didn't answer. She didn't know whether women were born to be wary of people whose appearance was not inferior to hers.
Concubine Yun smiled slightly, brushed her ears, and looked at Emperor Wanlong with a charming look. She smiled softly and said: "It's a pity that the eagle is just a mortal bird. No matter how majestic it is, it is not a fairy beast. It has no ability to fly in the clouds and mist, so it can only borrow the wind."
Soaring is not as good as the Holy Dragon's body."
As soon as the words fell, Ling Shutong and others looked at each other. It was a bit outrageous for Concubine Yun to disparage this rare painting like this. It would be more than worth the gain if it offended Gu Yalai.
However, Concubine Yun became more and more favored and gradually became a standout in the palace. Empress Yi lost power and sat on the throne without saying a word. After hearing this, Emperor Wanlong was very pleased and laughed. Everyone in the palace was stunned.
Keep silent and dare not speak nonsense.
Rang Sikui responded calmly: "If it is an ordinary eagle, the mortal grade mentioned by the empress would be appropriate, but among the eagles there are also saints in the immortal class.
In ancient Taoist records, a bird is called a Peng, and the Peng's back is unknown for thousands of miles; it flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming.
Those from Nanming are also from Tianchi. I wonder if this counts as a fairy beast?"
Concubine Yun smiled kindly and said softly: "I didn't expect Princess Kui to be very familiar with Taoist records. What she said is absolutely true. The Peng bird can indeed be called an immortal spiritual beast. I am presumptuous.
I heard that many heroes in Northern Xinjiang have eagles and wolves as their totems, but I am ignorant."
Rang Sikui shuddered slightly. The Princess Dagan in front of her was not inferior to him in appearance. She was definitely not just beautiful. I am afraid that the test she just made was intentional.
Lu Xuanji's eyes flashed, and he said with a long smile: "Dagan's outstanding people are indeed worthy of recognition. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine also knows the totem of the Caohai tribe. Xuanji admires her."
Concubine Yun bowed and smiled softly, but did not respond.
Emperor Wanlong laughed and said: "It's all good, it's all good. It's better to draw good people. Come on, keep it for me. Come on, come on. Master Xuanji, please drink a few more glasses of wine with me. You must not get drunk tonight."
