When crossing encounters rebirth

Putting it down, he waved to Gu Qing, "Come here."

Gu Qing walked around behind the desk obediently, and when he approached, Feng Hanxiu picked him up and sat on his lap.

"Qingqing, do you still remember what this king said to you the first time I saw you?" Feng Hanxiu asked suddenly while helping Gu Qing to smooth the hair that fell around his ears.

"Remember." After a moment of silence, Gu Qing replied.He knew that Feng Hanxiu had many secrets, and he also knew that the concubines in the palace were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.Recalling what Feng Hanxiu said about "betrayal" for the first time, Gu Qing looked at him with firm eyes and said, "My lord, Qingqing didn't understand before, but now she understands."

"Sometimes, people can't help themselves. The more we want, the more we give." Feng Hanxiu's eyes were a little wandering, as if he was recalling and feeling emotion.

His words suddenly brought Gu Qing a feeling of melancholy.He was used to Feng Hanxiu who was indifferent but also slightly gentle, and he was used to his domineering but considerate temperament.Seeing him suddenly showing such an expression at this moment, Gu Qing felt a sudden pain in his heart.

Gently caressing the frowning brow with her tender little hand, Gu Qing said softly: "My lord, don't keep frowning, it's not good to frown too much!"

Looking at the caring look in the eyes of the little man in front of him, and the worry conveyed in the soft and waxy voice, Feng Hanxiu's movements suddenly froze, "Qingqing just wanted to say, why doesn't this king favor those people, but why don't you favor them?" Leave those people in the mansion again?"

Gu Qing rubbed his eyebrows for him, thought for a while, and nodded slowly, "Yes, I don't understand why the prince keeps a group of people he doesn't like by his side, and I don't understand why the prince wants to put his beloved Send people to the palace." Gu Qing asked the question that had been pent up in his heart for several days in one breath, and Gu Qing suddenly felt a lot easier.

"You are a smart child, and it is inconvenient for me to tell you many things now. In short, you just need to remember what I said, as long as Qingqing doesn't betray me, I will promise you prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life!" Feng Han Xiu didn't know if it was his own illusion, when he mentioned "glory and wealth", he seemed to see a touch of disappointment in Gu Qing's eyes!

Feng Hanxiu was indeed right, the disappointment in Gu Qing's eyes was covered by his lowered eyelids.Although he knew in his heart that it is impossible for a normal man to have any love for a half-grown child, but when he heard with his own ears that what he promised him was only "a lifetime of glory", Gu Qing still felt a little sad in his heart.

Xin Dao looks like he wants to take down this fellow, there is still a long way to go!

After calming down her impetuous mood, Gu Qing suddenly raised her head to meet Feng Hanxiu's cold eyes, "Qingqing is already a person who has died once, and seeing you again is a rebirth. It was the prince who saved me, and Gu Qing will never Betrayed the prince."

Looking at his firm eyes, Feng Hanxiu's heart trembled.There seemed to be a slight crack in the frozen heart.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Gu Qing hoped to hear a few words of comfort from Feng Hanxiu or get his affirmation.But he pushed a small wooden box next to him to his face and said, "Open it and have a look."

The author has something to say:

☆, engraving

With a hint of doubt, Gu Qing pulled the small box closer, and then slowly opened the lid of the small box under Feng Hanxiu's gaze.

Once the lid was opened, Gu Qing couldn't move his eyes away.

A piece of red jadeite the size of an adult man's fist lay quietly in the middle of the box.Red jadeite is one of the more common types of jadeite.Back when Gu Qing was a jade carver, there were hundreds if not thousands of red jadeites carved by his hands.

Because of its bright color and low price, many women with good conditions at home like jewelry made of this kind of jade.And the jewelry store he used to work in received countless orders for carving red jadeites.

If it was just an ordinary red jadeite, of course Gu Qing would not be so shocked.But the piece Feng Hanxiu gave him was a rare "cockscomb red".Ordinary red jadeites are mostly brownish red or dark red, which makes people feel "dark and gloomy".The color is thick and opaque, the quality of the jade is relatively rough, and there are many impurities, so the value of the red jade has not been high.

However, "Cockscomb Red" is the best among red jadeites, its color is bright and vivid, its jade quality is fine and transparent, and its whole body has a kind of glass luster. "Cockscomb Red" can also be called the "Emperor Stone" among red jadeites.

Gu Qing carefully took the piece of red jadeite out of the box. Under the light of the candle, the whole piece of jadeite showed a translucent state, without the slightest impurity mixed in it.

Gu Qing remembered that in his previous life, he had auctioned a top-quality "cockscomb red" carved pendant at Sotheby's Auction House, and the transaction amount at that time was as high as 380 million Hong Kong dollars.He had been lucky enough to see the finished piece of red jadeite, but compared with the one he is holding now, it was mediocre.

"My lord is going to give this to me?" Gu Qing gently put Hong Fei back into the wooden box, then turned to Feng Hanxiu and asked.

Feng Hanxiu twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to him: "Didn't you say you want me to find you a piece of jade, and then carve something that will catch my eyes? What do you think of this piece?"

Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed!Gu Qing looked at the red jadeite in the box, showing an obsessed look, "Your Highness is not afraid that I will destroy this red jadeite?"

"You won't." Feng Hanxiu could see that Gu Qing's love for jade was not just because of the value of this thing.More, it is a kind of love from the heart, just like Bole meets Maxima; luthier meets the best thousand-year-old guqin.So he was willing to give this valuable ruby ​​to him for carving.For some reason, Feng Hanxiu believed intuitively that Gu Qing would give him back a bright ruby ​​just as he said.

Gu Qing caressed the red jade in the box again, then gently closed the box, turned his head to look at Feng Hanxiu, "Is that how the prince trusts me?"

"Forget what I said? The carving is broken, but you will be punished." Feng Hanxiu gently scratched the tip of his nose, "And this king has a request, can Qingqing do it?"

Gu Qing doesn't care about the punishment Feng Hanxiu mentioned.With such a top-quality red jadeite in his hands, how could he still not be able to carve exciting works?It's just that Feng Hanxiu suddenly said that he has a request, which made him curious, "The prince still wants to make it harder for me? Then this bet is not very fair!"

"Then do you accept it or not?" Feng Hanxiu looked at him provocatively. From the moment Gu Qing saw Hongyu, he concluded that this little guy would never refuse again.

"If you have any requirements, please tell me!" Gu Qing was full of self-confidence, which came from his confidence in his skills and the arrogance of a sculptor.

Looking at his appearance, Feng Hanxiu felt that the person in front of him seemed to have grown up a lot in a short time, and suddenly he felt a little anticipation in his heart.How old is this little guy?Even if it started from the mother's womb, it only took five years.But Gu Qing made him feel like those old sculptors in the palace.

"In one month, it will be my mother's birthday. This king hopes that Qingqing can use this piece of ruby ​​to carve something that will satisfy my mother, and give it to her as a birthday gift." Feng Hanxiu didn't have this idea originally. It was only the self-confidence revealed by Gu Qing, but it suddenly made him have this idea.

It turned out to be a birthday present for my future mother-in-law!Gu Qing nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry, my lord, Qingqing will definitely not let my lord down!"

Seeing that he suddenly became serious, Feng Hanxiu thought that he was putting too much pressure on the little guy, patted him on the back, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, even if you can't carve something decent, my lord There are other preparations as well."

Hearing his words, Gu Qing's dignified little face suddenly darkened, "My lord, I haven't started yet! Are you going to tear down my platform?"

"This king is letting you have no worries!" Feng Hanxiu rubbed his head lovingly, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Many times, Gu Qing gave him the impression that he was too smart, but sometimes he was as innocent as a piece of pure white paper.Although I am curious, where did Gu Qing get his confidence, but everyone has their own secrets.Even if it is him, isn't he a person who died once?

Feng Hanxiu looked at the little man in his arms, let him keep his little secrets!As he said, as long as he doesn't betray himself, why should he care so much?

In the next few days, Gu Qing suddenly became busy.

During the day, he began to rack his brains to conceive how to design this piece of red jadeite, and drew one after another. Feng Hanxiu's study room was almost overwhelmed by the sketches he discarded.And after dinner, he had to follow Feng Hanxiu to learn all kinds of knowledge, practice calligraphy and read books, so he didn't have any free time at all.

Since the status of the queen is there, Gu Qing thinks about it, and still thinks that the phoenix is ​​more suitable as the prototype of the sculpture.So this night, after Feng Hanxiu finished his class as usual, Gu Qing stayed in his study and said, "My lord, can you help me find the patterns of jewelry and clothes that were made for the empress in the palace in the past years?" ?”

Nanfeng is named after the phoenix, and the queen is the head of the six palaces. The patterns used are basically based on the phoenix.At this moment, Gu Qing asked about the patterns used in the palace, and Feng Hanxiu immediately guessed what he was thinking, "Do you want to use that red jade to carve a phoenix as a gift to the queen?"

"Well, but not all of them. I just want to see the patterns of objects made for the empress in the palace in the past, as a reference." Gu Qing planned to use the phoenix as a blueprint to carve red jade, but it was definitely not Feng Hanxiu's idea like that.It's just that he doesn't plan to say what he thinks now, he not only wants to surprise the queen, but more importantly, he wants to make Feng Hanxiu look at him with admiration.

"After I enter the palace tomorrow, I'll bring you some back." Feng Hanxiu saw that he was mysterious and refused to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions right away.It's just that I suddenly felt that it was too childish for me to ask Gu Qing to prepare a birthday gift for the queen.

The next day, Feng Hanxiu delivered the pattern of making jewelry for the queen in the palace to Gu Qing according to his words. Gu Qing took this pattern, and for the first time, he did not pester Feng Hanxiu anymore, but hurried back to his room.

For the next half a month, Gu Qing seemed to be a different person, locking himself in the study every day.Except when he was eating, he could see others, and he didn't see anyone at other times.

Even Feng Hanxiu's time for teaching him was occupied by Gu Qing by preparing gifts.Of course, even Feng Hanxiu's study was requisitioned by this little prince.

In fact, on the third day after Feng Hanxiu brought back the design to him, Gu Qing drew the design draft, but he didn't rush to start carving, but asked Yuehua to go to the firewood room to find him a few moderate pieces. The wood used to practice hands.

Although speaking of the skills and experience of carving, Gu Qing will never forget it.But all in all, he changed his body.And the tools used now are the ones he asked Qian to order people to build.

All of these need to be adjusted, so Gu Qing is not in a hurry to attack Hong Fei.If this rare "Cockscomb Red" is destroyed in his own hands, he might cry to death in the latrine!

In fact, Gu Qing's scruples are completely correct.When he started to carve the first piece of wood, he could only use four words to describe it as "terrible".

He still remembers what Zhiqiu muttered when he went out with the pile of waste wood in his arms, "Young master wants to exercise, why do you have to hide in the room and chop wood?"

After experiencing the "firewood chopping incident", Gu Qing started carving tofu again in order to speed up his adaptation.

Tofu is soft and crumbly, and must be carved in water.This is very good for training his hand strength and eyesight.

In the eyes of the servants, Gu Qing's strange actions seemed like he was full and had nothing to do, and was in a panic.Everyone, even including Jing Yan, wondered if Gu Qing was insane.

How can anyone be free all day, lock himself in the room, and start twisting tofu after chopping firewood?

That's right!It's twisted tofu!

When Feng Hanxiu accidentally saw the plates of tofu brought out of Gu Qing's room, which were so broken that he couldn't pick them up, he finally understood why Qian Qian ran to his place with a sad face and asked him to come and persuade him. Gu Qing is gone.

Fortunately, Gu Qing's actions, which seemed very abnormal in the eyes of ordinary people, did not last for many days.After all, he has the foundation, all Gu Qing needs is to get familiar with his new body and understand how to control his current strength.

When he felt that everything was ready, there was only half a month left before the empress's birthday banquet.

And for the remaining half month, Gu Qing completely lived a life of reclusive life.Finally, on the second day before the queen's birthday banquet, the carving of the "cockscomb red" was completed.

Gu Qing looked at his works that he worked hard for more than half a month, and a sense of accomplishment spontaneously emerged.

The author has something to say:

☆, palace banquet

Nanfeng Palace, inside Zhengxuan Hall.

Feng Lingtian was wearing a bright yellow panlong brocade suit, sitting on the high hall with a chuckle.Sitting next to him on the left side is today's protagonist, Empress Xiao Qingya.

With a decent smile on Xiao Qingya's face, she dignifiedly and generously responded to the congratulations from the wives.

On Feng Lingtian's right side, sat a woman who looked about 25 or [-] years old. The woman's eyes were smiling, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.Gu Pan lingered, naturally with a certain style.Although it is not as stunning as Xiao Qingya's beauty, her viciousness from the inside out is something the empress can't learn no matter what.

While Xiao Qingya was dealing with the congratulatory wife and minister's daughter, Feng Lingtian turned her head and said something to that woman.There were a few chuckles from time to time, and it was not difficult to see the emperor's love for this woman.

Feng Hanyi sat on the left side and looked at Feng Lingtian's out-of-date appearance on the main seat, frowning slightly.When the gentle eyes swept over the woman, they became a little more disgusted.

For all of this, Xiao Qingya didn't seem to notice, she still sat upright with a decent smile, accepting the pilgrimage and gifts from the wives.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xiu has arrived." Luo Ji leaned over and whispered in Xiao Qingya's ear.

Nodding imperceptibly, Xiao Qingya signaled that she knew.Then he casually glanced at the gift from the second-rank madam, rewarded her with a kind word, and after sending her away, he turned to Feng Lingtian.

"Your Majesty, it is said that Xiu'er will bring Gu Qing here today. The child looks very smart, and the Emperor must like it."

The moment Feng Lingtian turned his head, the gentle smile on his face disappeared, and he just responded lightly to Xiao Qingya and let it go.

Seeing all this in Helian Lanxin's eyes, there was a tinge of complacency on her face.Even if you, Xiao Qingya, command the Sixth Palace, so what if you are unparalleled in beauty?The emperor is tired of even looking at you now, this post will be mine sooner or later!

Gu Qing held Feng Hanxiu's big hand in one hand and a half-foot-long huanghuali wooden box in the other, and followed him into the Zhengxuan Hall calmly.

Among the princes and ministers present, it is inevitable that there are well-informed people.I have also heard a little about the emperor's decree to marry Feng Hanxiu and Gu Qing.Everyone who thought it was just a rumor at first, saw that Feng Hanxiu was really leading a young child to the temple, and all looked at Gu Qing with a trace of curiosity.

Although Gu Qing looked calm and composed on the surface, the little hand holding Feng Hanxiu was dripping with sweat.As an ordinary person in his previous life, he had never felt such a feeling of "high attention".

"My son, pay respects to father, emperor and mother." Walking to the center of the hall, Feng Hanxiu led Gu Qing and bowed slightly towards Feng Lingtian and Xiao Qingya, but did not kneel down.

Before coming here, Feng Hanxiu had told Gu Qing that all he had to do was follow his example.So Gu Qing naturally did not kneel down, and also called himself "children".

Seeing all this in Feng Lingtian's eyes, he frowned slightly, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a soft, numb voice from beside him, "Your majesty, this child is so bold, seeing the emperor And the queen, why don't you kneel?"

As soon as Helian Lanxin said this, the hall, which was still a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.Although these princes and ministers seemed to be chatting and chatting on their own, they were actually secretly looking at Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu.

Feng Hanxiu didn't kneel when he saw the emperor and empress, it was because the emperor issued a decree in the early years, exempting him and the crown prince from kneeling.But now, a child that His Royal Highness King Xiu casually brought in also behaved like this, which inevitably made some people with good intentions make a big fuss.

Immediately, someone echoed Helian Lanxin's words, "Your Majesty, I didn't hear you wrong just now, did you? This child actually called himself 'Children'? This... this..."

Feng Hanxiu glanced at the person who spoke, he still asked who it was, it turned out to be Fan Qin, Prime Minister Helian's most loyal lackey.

Fan Qin was stared coldly by Feng Hanxiu, his heart trembled immediately, he stayed there "this" for a long time, but there was no reason for "this".

He Lianlan cursed "trash" in her heart, and greeted Feng Lingtian with a smile, "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that you made a decree a few days ago to give a child to His Royal Highness Xiu Wang to be the husband of the king. The child His Royal Highness Xiu brought back from the Chiyan Border Pass?" The ministers who were still guessing which son Gu Qing was, immediately showed surprise after hearing Helian Lanxin's words.

Everyone knows that a few months ago Feng Hanxiu volunteered to go to Chiyan Border Pass to quell the war.Apart from the soldiers guarding the border, there are only refugees who have been exhausted by the war.

At the same time, these words also made those princes and ministers who supported the prince and King Xiu feel a little doubt in their hearts.

It is said that the emperor dotes on the two princes, but why did His Royal Highness Xiu give the position of concubine to a man?Is it a man, or a young child with no identity background?

This made many people unable to guess the emperor's intention.

"Xiu'er, I also want to hear your explanation." Feng Lingtian didn't immediately get angry because of their few words, but looked Gu Qing up and down before looking at Feng Hanxiu and asking.

Gu Qing looked at Feng Hanxiu with some embarrassment, and the latter gave him a reassuring look, and then slowly said to Feng Lingtian: "Go back to Father, I don't think there is anything to explain!"

As soon as Feng Hanxiu's words came out, Helian Lan just wanted to refute, and met his cold eyes head-on. At that moment, her heart froze, but Feng Hanxiu took the lead.

"Gu Qing is the royal father's decree to marry, and my son is about to marry. Why not call yourself 'son'?" Feng Hanxiu glanced at the prime minister's minions who still wanted to talk, coldly He snorted and continued: "As for kneeling, Gu Qing is favored by his mother. When he entered the palace last time, his mother gave him the right not to kneel and bow. I don't know when it will start. The queen's decision has to be made." Notified a concubine!" Feng Hanxiu beat him repeatedly, and even sneered at Helian Lanxin without losing face.

Even though Helian Lanxin, who was sitting next to Feng Lingtian, was full of dissatisfaction at the moment, wishing to knock Feng Han Xiufan to the ground and crush his arrogance under his feet, she could only look at him with a smile on her face. , maintaining the demeanor she should have as a noble concubine.

Xiao Qingya was watching the play quietly at first, but she didn't expect her son to drag herself into the water without warning.Faced with Feng Lingtian's questioning gaze, she could only slightly nod her head and say to the emperor: "The concubine really likes this child, so she waived his gift. I have been busy with the affairs of the palace these days, and I forgot Report to the emperor, and hope that the emperor will forgive the crime."

"If you don't mind it, it's okay, it's not a big deal!" Although Feng Lingtian didn't have a good face towards the queen, he wouldn't shout to punish her just because of such a trivial matter.What's more, today is the queen's birthday, Feng Lingtian will not let many civil and military officials see the joke.

Xiao Qingya just responded with a faint smile, and stopped looking at him.This smile, which was like a flash of surprise, made Feng Lingtian lose his mind for a moment.But just when he wanted to talk to the queen a few more words, he suddenly felt bored. Looking at her stunning face, he also felt disgusted.

"emperor?"

It wasn't until Helian Lan called him in his heart that Feng Lingtian looked away from Xiao Qingya, and then the feeling of irritability gradually disappeared from his heart.

Although Feng Lingtian's brief change did not attract everyone's attention, it also failed to escape the eyes of the two brothers Feng Hanxiu and Feng Hanyi.

Feng Hanyi looked down at the wine on the table, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp. The princes and ministers beside him said that His Royal Highness had a good drink, but they ignored the bitterness in the corner of his mouth that was covered by the rim of the glass. .

"Hmm..." Gu Qing snorted softly, and struggled a little with the hand held by Feng Hanxiu.It was only then that Feng Hanxiu noticed that he had unknowingly hurt this little guy with force.Looking down at the slightly red fingers, "Are you all right?"

Gu Qing shook his head, he didn't know why Feng Hanxiu lost his composure suddenly, but he knew that he shouldn't worry him anymore at this moment.Withdrawing his little hand from his palm, as Feng Hanxiu taught him before, Gu Qing held the yellow rosewood box in both hands, walked a few steps forward, and said to the queen neither humble nor humble, "Today is the mother's birthday, son The minister and fellow cultivator Wang have prepared a gift for the queen mother, and hope that the queen mother will like it!"

"Oh?" Because of Helian Lan's intentional provocation, Xiao Qingya felt a bit of sympathy in her heart. Now that she heard that Gu Qing had a gift for her, she suddenly became interested, "Bring it to me to see."

Gu Qing handed the wooden box to the little eunuch next to him according to his words, and the little eunuch held the wooden box and sent it to Xiao Qingya.

"Qingqing, are you really sure that the queen mother will like it?" Feng Hanxiu saw the rare look of anticipation on Xiao Qingya's face, and he suddenly regretted letting the little guy mess around.What if Gu Qing got something out of season and sent it up, which angered the empress?

He was not afraid of any punishment, but he was afraid that this would ruin Xiao Qingya's interest.

"My lord is only asking now, isn't it too late?" Gu Qing imitated him and said without moving his eyes.

All right!He admitted that he really didn't think carefully beforehand, but isn't it also because the little guy refuses to let him see what's in the box?

Feng Hanxiu could only pray in his heart at this moment, hoping that what the little guy said before was not entirely a lie.Otherwise, he will definitely not let his little butt go when he goes back.

Just when Feng Hanxiu had this thought, Gu Qing suddenly felt a chrysanthemum tighten.

The author has something to say:

☆、Phoenix

When the little eunuch knelt in front of Xiao Qingya holding the yellow rosewood box, she had already become interested in this gift before opening the lid.

All this is because of the exquisite pattern on the box cover.

Xiao Qingya gently raised her finger, Luo Ji immediately took the wooden box from the eunuch knowingly, and presented it in front of Xiao Qingya.

On the half-foot-long wooden box, a big longevity character almost covered the entire surface of the box.Gu Qing deliberately used the method of engraving to highlight the longevity character.If it's just this, it won't move Xiao Qingya's face. The reason why she is interested is that the character "Shou" is actually made up of many different forms of "Shou".

"It took a lot of thought." Xiao Qingya brushed the lid of the box with a pair of bare hands, and after admiring, she signaled Luo Ji to open the lid.

Before Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu arrived, Xiao Qingya had already received a lot of congratulatory gifts, but this was the first time everyone heard her praise someone so much.For a moment, many people poked their necks to look at her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Even Feng Lingtian was attracted by her admiration, only Helian Lanxin looked away with a look of disdain.As if looking at it one more time would stain her eyes.

The palms of Gu Qing's hands under the long sleeves were already slightly moist. Although he said that he was full of confidence, there was still a trace of tension in his heart.Anyway, this is the first time to officially give a gift to the future mother-in-law, and if something goes wrong, it's too late for him to cry.

Luo Ji put the wooden box in the hand of the little eunuch beside him, and then carefully opened the lid.When he saw the contents of the wooden box, he obviously froze.After being dazed for a moment, he took out the contents of the box under the expectant eyes of everyone, and presented it to Xiao Qingya.

But at this moment, Feng Hanxiu finally knew why Gu Qing dared to assert that he would be able to carve something that would make people's eyes shine!

Even though Xiao Qingya had seen many rare and rare treasures, she was still attracted by the jade sculpture of the phoenix phoenix phoenix tree in front of her.

On a sycamore tree, a fire phoenix spread its wings and looked up at the sky.Between the two, only the tail feathers of the phoenix are slightly connected to the branches of the sycamore tree.The phoenix stands proudly in the sky, and the phoenix tree is silent. A kind of nobility and elegance emanating from the inside out is vividly displayed by this small jade carving.

Whether it's the branches of the sycamore tree, the dense leaves, or the phoenix that spreads its wings and seems to soar to the nine heavens, they are all lifelike.

She could even see the veins carved on the leaf that was more than half smaller than the nail shell of her little finger; connecting the patterns on the feathers of the phoenix's tail and the patterns on the feathers on its body .Including on the phoenix crown, the feathers that are as thick as a hair can be clearly seen.

In the position of the tree trunk and the wings of the phoenix, for some reason, there are traces of cloud-like things.Not only did this not destroy the crystal clear beauty of the red jadeite, but it gave the whole phoenix an extra "immortal" flavor.The whole jade carving is integrated, as if made by nature.

It was the first time for Xiao Qingya to see such superb carvings.The phoenix on this phoenix roosting phoenix jade carving is much more delicate and beautiful than any object with a phoenix pattern she has seen before.

At this moment, not only her, but even Feng Lingtian, who was originally looking sideways because of a trace of curiosity, couldn't help admiring at this moment, "This should be me, the Phoenix of the Southern Phoenix!"

As soon as Feng Lingtian said these words, the ministers in the palace couldn't hold back anymore.They all looked towards the high platform, as if they had a glimpse of what it was, which made the emperor and empress sigh at the same time!

After a brief shock, Xiao Qingya held the phoenix phoenix phoenix jade carving in her hand, looked at Gu Qing and said, "Qingqing, I like your gift very much. It can be seen that you and Xiu'er have put a lot of thought into preparing it. But , I am a little curious, which famous teacher carved such a beautiful phoenix?"

Hearing this, Gu Qing turned his head to look at Feng Hanxiu, and after getting the latter's approval, he scratched his head and said shyly: "The empress mother praised it absurdly, this jade carving, actually... actually came from The hand of the minister."

"Huh? Show me." Feng Lingtian originally only admired the shape of the phoenix, but when he heard that such a perfect sculpture was actually made by a child, he suddenly felt overwhelmed. A little interested.

Xiao Qingya handed the jade carving in her hand to Feng Lingtian as she said. Before, she pretended to be aloof and secretly laughed at Xiao Qingya's rare and strange Helian Lanxin with a face of disdain. After seeing the Fengqi Wutong jade carving so closely, I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore.

But then, the admiration and shock in her eyes were all replaced by jealousy.Such a noble phoenix should belong to her, but at this moment it was dedicated to Xiao Qingya!This made Helian Lan, who had a high self-esteem, feel unhappy immediately, and with that kind of jealousy, she gave Gu Qing who was standing in the field a hard look.

Gu Qing was inexplicably startled, why didn't he know when he offended this imperial concubine?

After Feng Lingtian played with the jade carving in his hand for a while, he asked, "Gu Qing, you said that this jade carving was made by you, so the shape of the phoenix was also your idea?"

Gu Qing didn't expect Feng Lingtian to ask this question. He had compared many phoenix patterns in the palace before, and they were actually similar to the phoenix he carved.The main reason why his phoenix jade carving looks different is because of the word "fine".

In Gu Qing's 26 years of life, he spent seven years with Yu Shi as his companion.Before graduating from university, he began to learn how to carve jade with a master craftsman.

Therefore, his basic jade carving skills can be said to be exceptionally solid.For this jade carving, he used several carving techniques that had not yet appeared in the Southern Feng Dynasty, which attracted the praise of the emperor and empress at the same time.

As for Feng Lingtian's question, it was not within his consideration at all, and he was suddenly embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer it.Feng Hanxiu obviously saw Gu Qing's embarrassment, and immediately took over the words and said, "Return to Father, this phoenix form was conceived by my son."

Today, Gu Qing is already attracting attention just because of the jade carving itself, if the rest of the credit is attributed to him, I am afraid that the extreme favor will cause people to hate him.

So at this moment Feng Hanxiu stood up and took the credit for this part.

"The two of you really have a heart. Someone here will pass on my will, and give King Xiu and King Xiu Fuyu a wishful pair."

"Thank you father!" After Gu Qing and Feng Hanxiu thanked each other, they retreated to Feng Hanyi's side and sat down.

Feng Lingtian's reward did not surprise many people, but his address to Gu Qing made many people think about it.

From just one title, one can see His Majesty's attitude towards Gu Qing.This has not yet been married, logically speaking, Gu Qing can't afford the word "husband Xiu Wang".

But it doesn't matter if it's Feng Hanxiu's protection of him before, the queen's favor, or what the emperor said in person.All of this has sent a message to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, that Gu Qing's position as the king's husband is probably guaranteed!

Just when everyone was thinking about how to curry favor with His Highness King Xiu through Gu Qing after they went back, a clear and sweet voice suddenly sounded in the hall like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, "My daughter, Helian Jia, sees the empress, this beautiful and rich woman is my servant." The daughter spent more than a month to show it with her own hands. Although it is not as expensive and dazzling as the red jade, it is also the heart of the minister, and I hope the empress will like it."

Gu Qing heard the reputation, and saw a woman in a goose yellow dress, holding a roll of silk brocade, walking out of the crowd with lotus steps.

This woman looks young, only eleven or twelve years old.For some reason, when Gu Qing saw her, he always felt that she had a touch of sophistication that didn't match her age.

"The daughters of the Helian family are really better than each other!" Just as Gu Qing was looking at Helianjia, Feng Hanyi whispered in his ears.

"He has so many things on his mind, how can we help him if we don't train our daughter into a tool?" Feng Hanxiu looked at Helian Jia who was presenting a gift to the queen, and said thoughtfully.

The conversation between the two did not deliberately avoid Gu Qing, and Gu Qing also agreed with Feng Hanyi's words from the bottom of his heart.Although he was not very clear about their intrigues above the court, but he was clear about one thing - Helian Jia was slandering him.
