Chapter 184 Royal Annual Banquet (10)

Luo Lan's mouth raised slightly, and a look of disdain surged into her pretty eyes again. She looked at Leng Zian, raised her eyebrows and said coldly:

"Uncle Emperor, I have no comparison yet. How can I decide the winner and lose? Could it be that the emperor can predict the future?"

As soon as she said this, Leng Zi'an's proud face stopped abruptly, and then there was a contemptuous tone and a disdainful expression.

"Hmph! The name of the number one painter in the capital was not for nothing. Since Princess Yu is not convinced, please give your painting."

His tone was still ridiculous.

Leng Yu beside him had a cold face, and his handsome eyes were staring at Luo Lan.

No matter if you win or lose, some people want to feel a little disrespectful to her Lan'er, and he will not tolerate it.

At this time, Luo Lan waved her hand, and two other palace servants came forward and lifted her painting. The people present could not help but start to burst into laughter after seeing the simple painting.

"Hahaha...what is this painted?"

"This is really a ignorant of painting. Just draw something to fool people."

"It seems that Princess Yu will lose this time."

“…”

Amid the crowd's discussion, the emperor's face looked very ugly. From this painting made by Princess Yu, he could feel perfunctory.

The Wu family father and son looked at each other proudly, then grinned proudly, and the meaning of the smile was very obvious.

Looking at the two paintings placed in front of everyone, anyone with discerning eyes could see that this game must be the father and son of the Wu family who won the son.

Leng Zian waved his hand proudly at this moment, and while touching his not-so-extra-musical mustache, he said proudly:

"Princess Yu, what else do you have to say? Can you directly lose this game?"

Luo Lan looked at the painter's painting, then looked at his own painting, shook his head helplessly, and then owed to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, please let me tell you about the artistic conception in this painting and then you will be sure to stop winning or losing."

Although the emperor looked ugly, he did not want to get angry with his daughter-in-law in public, so he could only wave his hand impatiently.

"Say something if you have something to do."

Luo Lan then pulled the corner of her mouth and raised her eyebrows and said softly:

"Father, please look at this painting. Luo Lan painted it for you. What do you think the pattern on it looks like?"

The emperor said coldly without hesitation: "Like an iron barrel."

"Then what's in this iron bucket?"

"ginger."

The emperor's tone became a little stiff. This Princess Yu really gave people a feeling of being more and more arrogant. She had won the first two games, and the emperor's impression of her improved a little, but she asked these inexplicable questions here. No wonder the emperor's face looked ugly.

Luo Lan thrust proudly at the corner of her mouth, her chin raised slightly, and her eyebrows were shimmering with crystal eyes, and she raised her eyebrows proudly:

"What the emperor said is that there is a bucket underneath, and the jean is filled with ginger. Does the ginger look like a mountain?"

As soon as she said this, Leng Yu, who had been sitting on the side and pondering, suddenly spoke in surprise like a sudden realization.

"My wife means that the meaning of this painting is: a bucket of country?"

As soon as he said this, Luo Lan immediately squeezed his eyes and nodded proudly.

"What Prince Yu said is very true. I just said that I would give this painting to the emperor, so although this painting is simple, its meaning is very obvious. The emperor will always unify the country."

"Hahaha……"

When the emperor heard her words, he suddenly raised his head and laughed. At this time, this simple words became magnificent in front of him, making him more and more like him the more he looked at them. In particular, Leng Yu and Luo Lan said his words to unify the country in front of various kings, which made him feel that the anger just now disappeared instantly, and the joy of joy increased a lot.

At this time, the Wu family's father and son were stunned, and Leng Zian was silent and stopped talking.

At this time, no matter how poor Luo Lan's painting skills were, no one would comment on her paintings anymore.

Everyone changed their contemptuous attitude just now and began to praise her paintings.

"Okay, although this painting is simple, its meaning is not simple at all. It's so wonderful."

"Unify the country, the emperor will be in peace, and a blessing for a hundred blessings."

“…”

Everyone's words fell into the emperor's ears. On the first day of the New Year, when the emperor heard this, his face was naturally filled with joy.

Seeing the faces of the Wu father and son, Luo Lan took two steps slowly and came to the picture of the tiger going down the mountain. He glanced lightly and spoke with a solemn expression:

"I wonder, this artist, what does it mean to give the emperor a picture of a tiger going down the mountain on the New Year's Day? Who does this tiger represent?"

As soon as she said this, the emperor suddenly realized that he planned to take the opportunity to seize Wu Hong's military power at this New Year banquet, but he has not found any opportunity so far. Now it seems that the opportunity has come.

So he slapped the table hard and Long Yan said furiously:

"Bold General Wu, is the tiger you asked the painter to paint represents yourself? Are you going to go down the mountain to hurt me?"

As soon as the emperor said this, Wu Hong suddenly felt that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly stood up from his seat, knelt on one knee, and kept explaining in a panic.

"Your Majesty, the Mo Jiang has no intention. This painting was done by the painter alone and has nothing to do with the Mo Jiang."

The painter was already scared and trembling at this time. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling constantly, and could not say a word. He would never have thought that his best-known picture of a tiger going down the mountain would misunderstand the emperor.

However, the emperor did not point the finger at the painter, but snorted at Wu Hong again:

"General Wu, you invited the painter. How could he dare to be so bold without your instructions?"

"emperor……"

Seeing that something was wrong, Wu Yuanzhang hurriedly came to Wu Hong, bowed to him and said:

"Emperor, this painter Hong'er does not recognize it. It was invited by me. It has nothing to do with Hong'er. The emperor can send someone to the city to inquire. This painter is best at drawing tigers. The tiger in the painting has sharp eyes and is quite emperor-like. It naturally represents you, the emperor. This also indicates that the emperor's position is unshakable and no one dares to shake it."

After saying this, he looked at Wu Hong with a cold face and explained again:

"Hong'er, can you bring the military talisman? If it is brought, it will be handed over to the emperor for temporary care to show your sincerity to the emperor."

His words hit the emperor's will. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Hong, waiting for him to speak quietly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hong clasped his fists and said:

"When the emperor returned to the emperor, the military talisman of the last general was still in the military camp and was not carried with him. When the military talisman was leading the troops to fight, the military talisman was no longer useful. The soldiers under the general were loyal to the emperor. How could a military talisman be able to sign an order?"

His meaning was clearly stated. The people in his hands did not listen to military talismans, but only listened to people's words.

It seems that Wu Yuanzhang deliberately mentioned the painting of military talismans to Wu Hong. He wanted to use the military power in Wu Hong's hands to calm the emperor's innocence of anger.

After all, the painter's painting was really not instructed by their father and son, and they would not be so stupid that they used a painting to demonstrate to the emperor.

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Zian also agreed:
Chapter completed!
