Chapter 450 The little girl has something to offer to the prince

The dinner started on time at Xu time, and there were a total of 62 guests present tonight. On the surface, most of these people's identities are fine, but the problem is that Xiao Huaxian doesn't know if the shadow will be like herself, borrowing someone else's name. It will be very troublesome if you check it out, and you can only observe it further through conversation.

Xiao Huaxian frowned, this is not a good way, the shadow is a professional, has received special training, and is best at disguising and hiding. This kind of person should pay attention to his every move, and usually can control his expression very well And actions, it's hard to let him show his feet just by talking, besides, she is playing a cold goddess now, it seems that it is not Lin Meimei's style to take the initiative to chat with someone.

However, the servants went quite smoothly. Chatting with Chuntao just now has allowed her to pinpoint a few suspicious objects. They are all newcomers who have just entered the palace in the past one or two months. Speaking of which, Xiaohuaxian still doesn't know the shadow yet. What is the purpose of entering the palace? Whenever she thinks about it, she feels a little uneasy in her heart. This feeling is very bad. The opponent's appearance and plan are unknown. This action is more like a stroke of luck, but even But Xiao Huaxian knew that she still had to come.Shadow's whereabouts have always been a mystery. It is rare to receive the news in advance this time. I believe that no one will let go of this rare opportunity.

Strange, where did that guy go? Could it be that he didn't get in?Picking up the wine glass, Xiao Huaxian scanned the surroundings, but found no sign of the otaku, and was about to search carefully again, when a rooster sang outside the door, "Prince Jing is here."

The originally noisy hall was suddenly quiet, only to see a majestic, gorgeously dressed man with a slightly fat figure, accompanied by two young eunuchs, walked into the hall without haste.

Everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed down, shouting in unison, "My lord is a thousand years old."

"Hey, you are all distinguished guests of Prince Jing's mansion tonight, so there is no need to be polite." Prince Jing waved his hand and said with a smile.The Longevity Pill will be released tonight. Prince Jing is in a good mood when he thinks that he can add another six years to his lifespan. At his age, he can already feel the threat of death, and no amount of glory and wealth will be enjoyed by then. Well, Prince Jing is not a fool, he doesn't believe that there is such a thing as immortality in this world, and Daoist Su is very smart on this point, saying that the longevity pill can only increase one's lifespan. His trust, coupled with the evil art of deceiving people's hearts like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, King Jing will be devoured to death by him.

Everyone got up and took their seats again, Prince Jing didn't talk nonsense, and waved his hand to announce the opening of the banquet. All kinds of delicious food and wine were delivered to the guests like flowing water, and even more beautiful maidservants stood aside, holding cups and pouring wine.

King Jing raised his glass, "To the Great Swallow."

"Respect to the Great Swallow." All the guests drank the fine wine in their cups and echoed in unison.

When King Jing finished a set of scenes, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and a group of dancers began to dance to the music in the center of the hall. Prince Jing also chatted and laughed with the two tables on the left and right.

Xiao Huaxian paid attention to the expressions and demeanors of the people at the banquet calmly. So far she has not found anyone suspicious. She is not very surprised by this result. She has heard about the power of shadows. If they If you choose to disguise yourself as a certain person, I am afraid that even that person's friends will be difficult to distinguish, and there will be almost no flaws in terms of behavior. It is probably useless to wait any longer, and you must take the initiative to attack.

Xiao Huaxian had made up her mind, she didn't hesitate anymore, she got up and said, "The little girl has something she wants to give to the prince."

"Oh? Miss Lin is very happy to be able to come to the banquet. It would be a little strange to bring a gift." King Jing said with a smile. Even so, he was aroused by Xiao Huaxian.

Xiao Huaxian didn't say much, smiled slightly, took out a picture scroll that she carried with her, and presented it to King Jing.

"This is..." Prince Jing opened the scroll with some curiosity, and saw that the painting on it was a crane and an ancient pine. With just a few strokes, the charm of the crane was vividly outlined, and the vigorous color of the ancient pine seemed to be Vibrant on the paper, there is a kind of leisurely air.

"This is the picture of pine and crane drawn by Dongli layman Wu Youzi." As soon as Xiao Huaxian said this, there was an uproar.

Everyone has heard of Wu Youzi's name. He was proclaimed by the late emperor as a saint of painting. According to legend, his painting skills have reached the realm of unfathomable ghosts and ghosts. Wu Youzi is no exception to this or that small problem. This person is an out-and-out perfectionist, and he is especially strict with his own works. You can count them all, and he burned all the rest, which made countless people feel sorry.There are not many original works of Wu Youzi in existence, and even Prince Jing's Mansion doesn't have such a collection. Xiao Huaxian's work still shocked everyone.

Prince Jing was even more delighted. Pine trees and cranes both symbolized longevity in Taoism, and they were written by the painting saint Wu Youzi. This scroll can be said to be the most desirable and valuable gift he received tonight.

"In fact, strictly speaking, this painting can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. Wu Youzi originally planned to write a poem in the blank space in the upper right corner, but later, because he accidentally splashed a drop of ink, his old problem relapsed, and he planned to write it Burn it directly, but I don’t want to be secretly hidden by a tea-making boy, so there will be an extra masterpiece in the world. It’s rare that so many talented scholars gathered in the palace today. Meimei suggested that each of us write a poem and share it Comment on it, and finally choose the best one, and put it on this song and crane picture, to make up for the regret left by Wu Youzi."

"That's a great idea." Prince Jing nodded repeatedly when he heard that, and those who thought they were talented and learned couldn't help but be moved. Wu Youzi's scrolls are undoubtedly masterpieces, if you can write poems on them , that means that one's name can be immortalized with this painting. This is undoubtedly the dream of every literati. Seeing that King Jing has agreed, everyone can't help but gear up and start eagerly.

Xiao Huaxian sneered in her heart, "Shadow, let's see if you have forgotten where to run. You should know that no matter how good a person's disguise is, he can only imitate the target's tone of voice, demeanor, words and deeds, but knowledge and talent can't be imitated at all." Yes, Xiao Huaxian played this trick, which is tantamount to forcing the shadow into a dead corner. Waiting to see who can't compose poems, or the poems he composes are not up to standard, and he can be sure that this person is probably pretending.
