Aunt Li nodded and watched Han Du leave.

After Han Du saluted Lao Zhu, before he could speak, Lao Zhu asked him something.

"What? I leave such a big thing as the Longevity Festival to you. If you don't work so hard, you still have time to come to my place for some leisure time, right?" The first moment Lao Zhu saw Han Du, his face was filled with emotion.

Bu Shan. When he picked up the colorful bright yellow tea cup and drank tea, his eyes were staring at Han Du.

Han Du's heart was calm, but his face showed a cautious and fearful look, "Your Majesty Mingjian, I have been busy with the Wanshou Festival these days. Today I have to come because of the Wanshou Festival and encounter difficulties.

Please see the emperor."

After hearing Han Du's explanation, Lao Zhu's expression improved. Up to now, what Lao Zhu hates to see the most is people who take his salary but don't work.

Hearing that Han Du had begun preparations for the Longevity Festival, Lao Zhu couldn't help but wonder what difficulties Han Du might encounter.

"What's going on? Let me hear it."

Han Du didn't know what to say. He laughed twice, rubbed his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that you have a painting called "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", isn't it?

"What do you want to do?" Lao Zhu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Han Du warily.

The tea cup in my hand was placed heavily on the table, not afraid of breaking such a precious treasure.

I don’t know how Lao Zhu felt, but Han Du was frightened when he saw it.

"I want to borrow it"

"No borrowing!"

Han Du originally wanted to tactfully tell Lao Zhu, but

Borrow it. Unexpectedly, before he even finished speaking, he was rudely rejected by Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu pointed his thick finger at Han Du's nose and said, "No matter what reason you have, don't even think about painting it for me."

"I had no choice but to borrow the painting from the Emperor for the Emperor's Longevity Festival." Han Du spread his hands and showed a face full of grievances in front of Lao Zhu.

After hearing this, Lao Zhu suddenly turned around, looked at Han Du with a strange expression, and asked, "What does your preparation for the Longevity Festival have to do with my painting?"

"Your Majesty, I want to have some songs and dances at the Wanshou Festival celebration. This does not require a curtain background. I have chosen many and I am not satisfied. Hey, Your Majesty, do you think it is strange? I suddenly thought of the Emperor's thousands of miles of land.

There is no more suitable picture than this." Han Du told the story truthfully.

Lao Zhu listened and suddenly realized: "Do you want to make a huge background curtain based on the map of mountains and rivers?"

"Exactly." Han Du nodded with a smile.

The vigilance on Lao Zhu's face slowly disappeared, he stroked his beard and glanced at Han Du a few times, then suddenly laughed and said: "Don't tell me, you really have a way. Don't say that I saw it, just listening to what you said, I

I can't wait to be fascinated, I want to see what kind of scenery singing and dancing under such a curtain is."

"Then the emperor agreed to lend the Map of Mountains and Rivers to me?" After listening to Lao Zhu's words, Han Du looked up at Lao Zhu and asked enthusiastically.

Lao Zhu closed his mouth and did not answer.

As time passed, Han Du couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"How do you want me to lend it to you?" Lao Zhu suddenly asked, and before Han Du could answer, he said categorically: "It's okay if you go into Wenyuan Pavilion to take a look, but you absolutely can't take the scroll.

Take it away."

Han Dugang wanted to take Wanli Jiangshan Tu out of the palace, but before he could speak, Lao Zhu blocked the road.

"This is the Emperor's Mingjian. What's the point of taking a look at it? Those who need to see this scroll are the embroidery workers and painters of the Jiaofang Division. Even if I see it, they haven't seen it with their own eyes, and I have no way to tell them.

I understand."

No matter what reasons Han Du had, Lao Zhu had made up his mind anyway and there was no way he would let Han Du take Wanli Jiangshan Tu away.

After a stalemate over a cup of tea, seeing that Lao Zhu still had no intention of relenting, Han Du rolled his eyes and said: "Well, Your Majesty, I have something else I would like to ask for Your Majesty's permission."

Lao Zhu showed a victorious smile on his face, nodded slightly and said: "Well, let's talk. As long as you don't take away my paintings, I will allow you to do everything else."

Han Du didn't want to be poorer than Lao Zhu, so he said helplessly: "It's like this, the embroidery workers and painters in the Jiaofang Department are not enough to make the curtain background of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains. Originally, I wanted the emperor to send some palace

The embroidery workers and painters here helped the Jiaofang Department, but now since the emperor you are unwilling to let me take the scroll away.

It would be better to do this. The emperor asked the embroidery workers and painters in the palace to make the background curtain of the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". I asked the Jiaofang Department to send someone to tell the embroidery workers and painters in the palace how to make the background curtain. That's it.

How about having the palace create the background curtain for the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he said somewhat unhappily: "You're quite a scheming kid. It was obviously your business, but in the end it ended up in the palace."

Han Du shrugged, his face full of helplessness. You can't blame yourself for this. Who made you refuse to let me borrow the scroll?

When Lao Zhu saw Han Du's expression, he burst into laughter, "Okay, who made me curious about what the background made of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers looks like? I've got you covered."

Han Du immediately became excited and bowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Han Du's success, Lao Zhu felt unhappy and asked doubtfully: "I am very curious and want to have a grand song and dance at the Longevity Festival, but where do you want to set up the stage?"

During the Wanshou Festival, ceremonial activities are held in the palace. All major activities are carried out in the palace, and there is no stage in the palace that can accommodate dozens of people.
