Chapter 160 The Vicious and Low-Key Fourth Master
He said: "I'm used to seeing people with longevity patterns, but you are still rare with birthday peach patterns. It's rare that you have presented all the treasures in your home. It's really caring. Thank you!"
After Ah Ling thanked him politely, he sat down.
Because Ruoyin knew the history, he knew that Ah Ling was from the Baye Party.
Out of habit, she secretly glanced at Ba Ye.
But no matter who presented the gift just now, Ba Ye always had a gentle smile on his face.
Even if Aling got Kangxi's favor, he still smiled as always.
In the end, Zhang Yanyu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have someone specially made a red sandalwood screen with the word "Shou". May the Emperor have a happy and healthy life, and live as long as the heavens."
Like A Ling'a, he also offered the gift in his own name.
Then, someone carried the red sandalwood screen more than two meters high into the hall.
I saw dragon patterns engraved on the top of the screen, and in the middle was the eloquent silver longevity character.
Compared with the big characters in bronzing, the big silver characters look low-key, luxurious and connotative.
When Kangxi saw it, there was a light in his eyes.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with this ceremony.
He rarely let out a hearty laugh, and said: "Okay, very good! You, you, I just wanted to change the screen, so you brought it here. This screen will be placed in my bedroom from now on!"
Hearing this, the faces of King Zhijun and the Crown Prince froze.
After Ba Ye's smile froze, it returned to its original state.
They probably never thought of it, and tried their best to give their confidants advice.
In the end, it was not as good as a screen made of wood.
It's just that this Zhang Yanyu has always been a powerful minister around Kangxi, and there is no sign of forming a party with anyone.
Could it be that he was simply offering gifts in his own name?
During this period, Ruoyin didn't dare to look directly at fourth master's face.
But she took a sneak peek out of the corner of her eye and found that fourth master was hiding very deeply.
It should be said that Ba Ye was smiling the whole time.
Fourth master was the kind who was indifferent the whole time, without even a trace of a smile.
It can be said that there is no emotion at all.
By the way, isn't this piece of Yanyu one of his subordinates?
Or is it not his person yet?
However, whether it is or not, she can figure it out.
How could a black-bellied fox like fourth master let others guess his emotions from his face.
Otherwise, could he still be that vicious and low-key fourth master?
Next, several ministers gave gifts.
Anyway, there are quite a few people who hit their hearts.
However, no one could overwhelm Zhang Yanyu.
After a cup of tea, the part of the ministers presenting gifts was finally over.
Those sitting outside were not of high status, so naturally they could only watch from a distance.
At the same time, they rejoiced in their hearts.
Fortunately, they didn't participate, otherwise they would have squeezed a lot of cold sweat.
In the seemingly peaceful palace, it looked like a simple gift, a random birthday celebration.
In fact, everyone is walking on thin ice, with undercurrents surging.
It seems that everyone has experienced a battle of wits and courage.
After the officials made up their minds, it was time for the princes to fight wits and bravery.
According to the rules, it was the prince who started.
"Huang Ama, I know that you often review memorials at night, so I present a pair of white jade table lamps carved with dragon patterns in five blessings, and I hope Huang Ama will accept it with a smile." The prince laughed.
He was mainly thinking that Kangxi would use this thing every day.
As long as you use it, you can think of his filial piety.
And that white jade is the best jade he used.
It was built by the most powerful craftsmen in the capital.
Today, among the princes, he will surely overwhelm the audience.
Kangxi scanned the pair of white jade table lamps in the center of the hall.
Even if he sits on it and watches from a distance.
I also know that the jade quality of the white jade table lamp is extraordinary.
His eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "You have a heart, reward!"
After the prince's face froze, he thanked him and sat down.
He is a bit unlucky today.
I thought Kangxi would be so happy, but it turned out not to be that indifferent.
The corner of Zhijun King's mouth twitched into an imperceptible sneer, he got up and said: "Huang Ama, didn't you have a back injury before, Erchen specially asked someone to find a piece of purple jade and made a dragon-patterned belt. The majesty of Huang Ama can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which is very good for the body."
"Hahaha, good good good good good good good good good good good good good, seeing that you are usually careless and careful at critical moments." Kangxi rarely looked kindly, then he waved his palm and said, "Reward!"
Zhijun Wang bowed his hands and thanked him with a smug smile on his face.
The point is that when he sat down, he glanced at the prince provocatively.
After the crown prince and Zhijun Wang are sent off, he will be the third master.
The third master got up, and said with a casual smile: "Huang Ama, I have little talent and learning, so I personally made a landscape painting of longevity characters to express my heart. Amamo must be disgusted."
Ruoyin glanced at the paintings unfolding in the hall.
That is not a simple landscape painting.
It's not like just writing a word "Shou" and finishing it off, with a landscape picture next to it.
Instead, paint in the middle of the lime-gray Shou character.
The word "Shou" is surrounded by an evergreen pine.
And there are stones and other plants painted inside, which is quite innovative.
There are pictures in the words and words in the pictures.
There is an artistic conception in which characters and mountains and rivers blend together.
"You will be glib, you are full of knowledge, and it works on your mouth. If you are really afraid that I will dislike you, you will not give it away." Kangxi joked with a smile.
The third master smiled and said nothing.
Immediately, Kangxi regained his composure and said, "Okay, this painting of yours is very much to my liking, so I will hang it in my study, and appreciate it!"
Although so far, among the princes, the third master is the most pleased with Kangxi.
But he didn't get carried away, but thanked him contentedly, and sat down in a low-key manner.
Instead, it was San Fujin next to him, with his chin raised high.
I almost have no nostrils to look at people.
Moreover, she turned her head and glanced at Ruoyin triumphantly, and said provocatively: "Fourth younger siblings, my third master, I gave you a good start and made a good start. Now, it's time for your family to play, you must be sure." Don't make jokes, you've froze the place that the third master has managed to warm up."
"Third sister-in-law, please worry. If you continue like this, I'm afraid it will be a joke. You are the one who made the atmosphere stiff." Ruoyin spoke with a kind smile.
Even when she finished speaking, facing the crowd, her smile did not diminish, but the corners of her mouth rose more and more.
It seems that she didn't say anything harsh just now, but just congratulated San Fujin.
This made San Fujin stare and gnash his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
Because the third master reprimanded her in a low voice: "What are you doing? If you do this again, I won't take you out next time. If you want to lose face, you will go home and throw it away!"
After finishing speaking, he also cast an apologetic look at fourth master and Ruoyin.
"Hmph!" After Sanfujin gave Ruoyin a light look, he had no choice but to give up.
Ruoyin and fourth master don't have time to talk to stupid people like San Fujin.
At this point, they have more important tasks.
Fourth master flicked the corner of his robe, got up and walked to the center of the hall to salute.
