The King of Han led Hu Shanxiang into the palace, and when they entered, the banquet had already begun.
The banquet is in the imperial garden, an open-air place, which is spacious enough.
Zhu Di sat in a high position, and the two sides below the high position were banquet seats set up by the Ministry of Rites according to his status.
On one side are the prince and princess and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.On the other side are envoys from various countries.
There is a red carpet in the middle, and some people are singing and dancing to adjust the atmosphere.
Behind the banquet, various performances are being held.
The singing, dancing and wrestling on the grassland, the battle between Japanese warriors, and other special programs of other dependent countries. Of course, the folk performances of Ming Dynasty are the main ones.
In addition to performances, there is also a lively night market like the streets of Yangzhou, where you can find all kinds of snacks.
After Lu Lin congratulated the emperor, he was dragged out by Jiaxing. Looking at the dazzling array of programs and snacks, he had to sigh, the emperor is really down-to-earth.
This kind of program doesn't need to spend too much money, but it also looks very lively.
Except for Yang Shiqi and other important officials, everyone would come back to play after congratulating the emperor.
Seeing that everyone had almost left, the King of Han led Hu Shanxiang over.
"Father, my son has a birthday gift, and I want to give it to my father."
After finishing speaking, let Hu Shanxiang send it up.
Hu Shanxiang was so nervous that his whole body was trembling slightly, but he still walked up cautiously, saluted the emperor gracefully, and then offered the Hundred Shoutu with both hands.
The two eunuchs next to the emperor opened the Baishou picture together.
Immediately, the dim back garden was illuminated by a golden light, which was mixed with a little green fluorescence, which came from the picture of Baishou.
This sudden light attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked sideways, only to see tens of thousands of horses galloping and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushing out like tigers and wolves.
At first glance, I thought they were going to rush out of the picture scroll and charge straight at them.
Chapter 248 The Emperor Was Assassinated
The magnificent and lifelike show is breathtaking.
But soon they discovered something even more incredible. Looking carefully, this painting was actually composed of countless tiny characters of longevity.
Such ingenuity, who did it come from?
Everyone speculated.
Zhu Di was obviously also very satisfied with this gift, and smiled extremely happily.
"Good good."
Say yes three times in a row.
"Second brother has a heart."
Although the King of Han was happy, he did not forget what he was here for.
"Father, this embroidery is not what I thought, but it was made by Miss Hu."
"Oh?"
Zhu Di and all the ministers present couldn't help but focus on Hu Shanxiang. They were only focused on admiring the embroidery just now, but they ignored the girl.
"Miss Hu is very skilled."
Hu Shanxiang said modestly and courteously: "Minnie girls have superficial skills and have no other talents. They can only use embroidery, which they are good at, to make His Majesty smile, in order to repay His Majesty's great kindness for working hard to keep our people safe."
These words imperceptibly agreed with Zhu Di's personal conquest, which made Zhu Di like it very much.
Although the appearance is not first-class, but this exquisite mind is rare in the world.
"Good boy, get up."
"Since they are celebrating my birthday, they are all from my own family, so don't be cautious."
Although Hu Shanxiang had never seen such a big scene, her deep self-cultivation made her calm down quickly, and she responded very calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all, the eunuch led him to sit next to the King of Han.
She was brought by the King of Han, so everyone naturally thought she was from the King of Han.
But seeing that she didn't have her hair tied up, she probably wasn't from Han Wang's family, but she didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Han Wang.
Seeing that King Han had settled down, King Zhao immediately ran over: "Second brother, let's go to the back."
The King of Han glanced at Hu Shanxiang, a little embarrassed.
You can't leave her here as a girl, it's her first time entering the palace, and she doesn't know any rules.
Just as he was about to finish speaking, Zhu Di suddenly asked, "Miss Hu, how can your embroidery shine?"
Hu Shanxiang got up immediately, saluted slightly, and began to explain the principle to him.
"It's a firefly."
"Before embroidery, soak the thread wrapped with gold thread in fluorescent liquid made by fireflies, wait for the thread to be stained with fluorescent liquid, dry it in the sun, and then embroider with gold thread."
"At night, or in dimly lit places, the fluorescent liquid will glow slightly, and the light will illuminate the gold thread, so that the two beams of light intersect with each other, making it appear extraordinarily bright."
Not only Zhu Di, but even Yang Shiqi and the others couldn't help but nod their heads.
What a clever idea, this girl is unusual.
The king of Han saw that she was able to cope with it freely, so he no longer worried, and whispered to her: "You just sit here, and when the banquet is over, I will take you out of the palace."
Hu Shanxiang nodded.
Then Zhao Wang dragged Han Wang to the back to drink and brag.
It happened that the crown prince was also there, and the three brothers were chatting and laughing in the crowd, which was very lively.
Lu Lin was dragged to their side by Jiaxing, and Jiaxing called happily: "Father, second uncle, third uncle."
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Little Jiaxing seems to be getting more and more graceful."
The king of Han could think of the word slim, which made him a little embarrassed.
