Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 124: Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix

"If you want to talk about thoughtfulness and preciousness, there may be a gift that can surpass Second Brother."

Wen Xian raised his head, and when he said this to Yin Zuo, his voice suddenly became louder.The elder brothers and princesses beside me heard this.

Ke Jing, who had always been at odds with Wen Xian, snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "My birthday ceremony is incomparable with my second brother. Wen Xian, who are you talking about? Could it be you? "

"Your birthday gift..."

Speaking of this, Ke Jing looked at the volumes of Buddhist scriptures on the tray in the middle, and said disdainfully: "It's just a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, can they be considered valuable?"

Wen Xian gave Ke Jing a blank look, he was too lazy to argue with her on such an occasion.

Wen Xian didn't even need to say anything, there was already a nanny in charge beside Kejing who poked Kejing's arm, and whispered: "Princess Kejing, don't dare to talk nonsense."

Ke Jing suddenly restrained his expression and dared not speak any more, obviously he was somewhat afraid of the nun beside him.

Ever since she was selected as the candidate for peace with the Mongolian Ministry, the Empress Dowager sent an aged nun to her to teach her.

Almost none of the nuns who came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace were simple.Every word and deed of Kejing was stared at by the nanny, which was equivalent to being stared at by the empress dowager. Naturally, she dared not make mistakes.

"As far as I know, Tong Gege personally embroidered a screen for the great emperor's grandmother." Wen Xian said: "The picture painted on the screen is a picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix."

"The feathers of the phoenix are all embroidered and painted with gold thread, and they are inlaid with rubies as eyes. The preciousness of them is countless, and even the best emeralds are just a little embellishment."

As soon as the words came to an end, the prince couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and at the same time glanced at Tong Jia Xili, who was drinking tea calmly beside the queen.

Tong Jia Xili didn't seem to have noticed the movement here, and she still looked calm.Occasionally gossiping with the queen, just taking care of his one-acre three-point land.

"Since that's the case, Gu would also like to take a look at the birthday gift that Tong Gege prepared for the emperor's grandmother."

A trace of curiosity flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes.Although she also knew that Tong Jia Xili had prepared something for herself, she never expected it to be such a screen.

And, it took so much thought.

Tong Jia Xili was startled, looked at the calm prince, then at Wen Xian who was blowing his beard and staring, and then understood what was going on.

"The courtiers are not good at embroidery, so they can only choose some valuable items to embellish a little, in order to cover up the poor embroidery work."

Tong Jia Xili got up and said: "If the Empress Dowager doesn't mind dirtying the phoenix eyes, my servant will order someone to bring the screen over?"

"it is good."

The empress dowager agreed with a smile, but she had inexplicable confidence in Tong Jia Xili.

She really knows Tong Jia Xili too well.What she can take out must not be too bad.And in such a situation, speaking such modest words can also show her own humility.

And when I actually saw the item, I was even more surprised because it was labeled as "clumsy" and "inconspicuous" at the beginning.

"You do the embroidery?"

The queen was naturally also surprised, but she was not as wise as the empress dowager, so she couldn't help but asked with some worry: "Prince Zhuyu is in front, if yours..."

The queen knows a little about Tong Jia's embroidery work.Although not bad, it can only be said to be mediocre.

If it is only about embroidery, even if it is decorated with auspicious patterns such as a hundred birds and phoenixes, it probably won't catch the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

"Please don't worry, aunt." Tong Jia Xili comforted, "Both left and right are given to the Empress Dowager. What's the difference between taking it out earlier and later?"

Of course there is a difference!

The queen thought in her heart: If it's good, that's all.If it is not very good, at least no one will see it when it is sent out by the empress. Even if the empress dowager is dissatisfied, others will have no way of knowing.

But as soon as the thought passed, the queen immediately felt relieved.

Tong Jia Xili, where is she still the yellow-haired girl who didn't understand anything?

...

About a quarter of an hour later, a few powerful eunuchs came over from the Compassionate Ning Palace carrying the screen.

It was also covered with a curtain, and Tong Jiaxili's one-person tall screen was naturally much larger than the half-person-high White Jade Avalokitesvara statue of the prince.

In this way, inadvertently, the prince was compared in the aura of appearance.

"What is this? It's so big? It's even bigger than the Guanyin statue of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

There was a lot of noise and discussion among the crowd, and everyone stretched their necks to see what was hiding behind them.

"Su Mala, go and open the curtain to show Aijia."

The Empress Dowager ordered, and Aunt Su Mala stepped forward to lift the curtain.

Hundreds of birds are facing the phoenix, and there are naturally a hundred birds on a screen that is as tall as a person.

The images of the birds are either still or moving, and some rest on the branches.Several of them flew together and were circling in the sky.

There are also birds, beside the flowers, which complement the sea of ​​flowers in this picture, forming a beautiful scene.

嗏

Regardless of the variety of birds, they all eventually revolve around the huge phoenix in the sky.

The whole body of the phoenix is ​​intertwined with red and gold.The golden part is naturally drawn with gold thread, while the red part can be seen dotted with a lot of rubies.

Especially in the eyes, the huge and round gem is like a magic pen, adding a lot of brilliance to this picture scroll.

"This... is the real Hundred Birds towards the Phoenix."

The first person to be amazed was the Queen Mother.

The queen mother has seen countless treasures, and at this moment she can't help but be shocked by Tong Jia Xili's screen.

To be able to draw such a screen requires not only embroidery, but also the talent in painting.And not only that, but patience and financial resources are indispensable.

Therefore, in terms of mind, Tong Jia Xili's side of the screen with a hundred birds facing the phoenix is ​​naturally no less than the crown prince praying for blessings in the temple every day.

As for the preciousness, it can be seen just by looking at the many jewels inlaid on the scroll.

The phoenix piled up with gold threads and jade decorations looks so resplendent and magnificent, and at the same time, the atmosphere from the phoenix also emerges spontaneously, which can be described as natural.

"Look at this concubine, this phoenix seems to be alive, it can fly out of the painting at any time."

Concubine De was the first to speak, and many concubines beside her also echoed.

"Isn't it? Just the lifelike flowers, even the concubines seem to be able to smell the fragrance of flowers."

There were endless compliments, and the Empress Dowager was naturally extremely satisfied.

"good very good."

　Xili, why are you so good!

　　The same is the lumbar disc, so protruding~
