Chapter 79 Gifts
However... Luo Jiaqi looked at Luo Jinxiu through the people in front of her, and raised an imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth. Maybe... she was going to disappoint Luo Jinxiu.
Naturally, the first person to present a gift was Luo Muyuan. As a small capital, Yanjing naturally has a lot of good things, and there are also many celebrities and treasures. This time, he presented a painting by Qi Qi, a famous painter in the entire Yanchuan continent.
A landscape painting by Zhang Qi.
Qi Zhangqi was from Dong Chu, a neighboring country of Western Xia. He was a figure in the period of the previous monarch. He became famous because of his painting of a hundred birds facing the phoenix. Later, his paintings were hard to find.
Unfortunately, although this man was talented and his paintings were praised by many, he was a short-lived person. He died of cold in the fourth year of his rise to fame. It is said that he left less than fifty paintings, but
They are scattered in every corner of Yanchuan Continent.
The landscape painting presented by Luo Muyuan is called "Ten Thousand Valleys and Blue Waves" and is one of Qi Zhang's last paintings during his lifetime.
Emperor Xixia loved painting. When he saw this painting, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said three good words in a row, which was enough to express the satisfaction and joy in his heart.
Later, Luo Muze presented a gift. Compared with Luo Muyuan, he liked fighting and killing more. Of course, this man was not a warmonger, just compared to his elder brother who had no fight against the world.
Like Yanjing, Luoyang is also a small capital. Not only that, it was also the capital of many dynasties before Xixia.
Therefore, when Luo Muche presented the bronze sword used by the founding emperor of the last dynasty, everyone present could not help but take a breath of cold air.
The Zhou Dynasty dates back four to five hundred years from Xixia, and it is said that the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was brave and good at fighting.
The bronze sword he used in his hand has always been with him and has been involved in the fate of the country. Whichever emperor in the future generations gets it can bless his country's peace and prosperity.
I just didn't expect that such an important thing would be found by Luo Muze!
The Xixia Emperor was already grinning from ear to ear with joy. His two sons were always his pride, and the items presented at the annual banquet were never ordinary things, but this year they were particularly satisfying.
Luo Jiaqi couldn't help but shake her head and sighed lightly. With her current abilities, there was really no way she could compare with these two royal brothers.
But fortunately, her goal today is not high, just better than Luo Jinxiu's.
With Luo Muyuan and Luo Muze shining brightly in the front, the gifts from the following princes were a bit bland in comparison.
However, Emperor Xixia didn't say anything and accepted it happily.
After all the ten princes had presented their gifts, it was their turn for the ten princesses.
Luo Fangfei stood up gracefully, with the demeanor of a royal noble in every move.
Seeing Luo Fangfei walking to the center of the hall, Luo Jiaqi suddenly became energetic. She knew, Qin Yu, that this is the place where Xixia produces the most jade and the best quality.
This is one of the reasons why Qinyu became one of the richest cities in Xixia.
"The gifts given by the royal brothers just now are all very good and very thoughtful,"
The people around Luo Fangfei brought up the gift he prepared. Now behind Luo Fangfei, they saw that the thing was as high as a person's upper body, but the front was covered with red satin. No one knew what was underneath.
.
Luo Fangfei had no intention of opening it directly. Instead, she looked at Emperor Xixia and the others above with a smile and continued to speak.
"It's just that... although the emperor's brothers and sisters have good intentions, there are still some flaws."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, whether it was Luo Muyuan, Luo Muze or the Xixia Emperor, were stunned for a moment, wondering where Luo Fangfei started with these words.
Seeing Emperor Xixia's questioning gaze, Luo Fangfei still had a calm smile on her face and continued:
"Although their gifts are good, they are all dedicated to my father. As the king of a country, what is missing? Of course, there are some that are priceless and have no market, which are really rare, and these are also made by us.
My thoughts."
Speaking of this, Luo Fangfei looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting next to Emperor Xixia, showing a smile that a junior should have when seeing an elder.
"But this year is different. In the past, the Imperial Grandmother no longer held such banquets, but this year the Imperial Grandmother returned to the palace.
So I thought, since I am offering precious treasures, I must not be able to compare with others, especially my two royal brothers."
Speaking of this, Luo Fangfei specially glared at Luo Muyuan and Luo Muze, as if she was angry that they had stolen her limelight.
The two brothers could only smile awkwardly, and they did not dare to say anything in front of the sister they had loved since childhood.
"So, I suddenly had an idea. In fact, this palace banquet does not stipulate that gifts can only be given to the emperor alone. Therefore, I want to give today's gift to the emperor's grandmother."
After hearing what Luo Fangfei said, the smile on the Queen Mother's face became even gentler. Looking at this grandson who was not too young, she actually liked her more and more the more she looked at her.
Emperor Xixia laughed loudly after hearing this, and pointed in Luo Fangfei's direction with his hand, but there was a hint of doting in his tone:
"You're such a ghost, you actually took advantage of my loophole. That's all. What you said is right, but shouldn't we let us see what good things you have prepared?"
It can be seen that Emperor Xixia was already aroused at this time, and the Queen Mother also looked at Luo Fangfei with great interest, wanting to see what gift she would give him.
But when she heard what Luo Fangfei said, Luo Jiaqi suddenly lost interest because she had already guessed what Luo Fangfei was sending.
Generally there is no need to guess, it is either a Buddha or a Bodhisattva.
Why do you say that? It is very simple. It is well known that the Queen Mother admires Buddhism. Since Luo Fangfei wants to honor the Queen Mother, it must be related to Buddhism.
If there is anything worthy of attracting Luo Jiaqi, it may be that Qin Yu's special jade stone can make Luo Jiaqi feel that Luo Fangfei's gift is a good one.
In this era, there are still very few relatively novel furnishings. Compared with the designs in Luo Jiaqi's mind, this era must be relatively backward.
Of course, these are Luo Jiaqi's inner activities, and others don't know about them.
Luo Fangfei smiled mysteriously, then turned around, walked up to the servant, and lifted up the red silk.
The silk satin gradually fell to the ground, and as expected by Luo Jiaqi, there was a statue of Bodhisattva inside.
However, it uses Qin Yu's unique Qin jade, which is a precious jade species that Qin Yu and even the entire Xixia have ranked first.
