Princess Yingyang doesn't really like Zhong Shao very much, since the first time she saw her with Concubine Yu, she didn't like her very much.There's no reason, it's just a little picky, and it's just a little dislike, so when seeing her and Su Han walking together, the dislike suddenly became a little bit more.

Zhong Shao hadn't noticed this yet, she was a little nervous as she stepped forward holding the congratulatory gift she had painstakingly prepared.But in fact, Zhong Shao herself didn't understand why she was nervous, she obviously never paid attention to the attention of everyone in the hall...

Following Su Han's side, Zhong Shao came to the Eldest Princess without hindrance, before he could speak, he heard Su Han say: "Princess, Ah Shao specially prepared a gift for you, do you want to see it?"

If it was normal, given how distasteful the eldest princess is to the son-in-law, she would probably have turned a deaf ear to these words.However, today's matter has been planned, she can't let her temper go, so she ignored Su Han and said to Zhong Shao: "What did Ah Shao prepare, let me have a look."

The eldest princess naturally knew that this gift must be extraordinary, and the purpose was to make Zhong Shao a blockbuster at her birthday banquet.However, just as Zhong Shao agreed, before the brocade box in his hand had time to open, there was a sudden commotion outside the main hall.

The commotion made the eldest princess displeased, she frowned slightly, and asked loudly, "What's the commotion?"

Before the servants outside the hall answered, they saw a young man in an apricot brocade robe strolling in, and smiled from a distance: "My aunt's birthday, my nephew came to congratulate her, it's a bit late, please don't blame me."

The man strode forward, with an amiable attitude, talking and laughing, but his demeanor was not comparable to that of Emperor Taiping who was hollowed out by wine and sex in the palace.When the eldest princess saw him, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she relaxed her slightly frowning brows, and said with a casual smile: "The prince is busy with government affairs, why did you come to join in the fun?"

All the people in the hall bowed their heads and saluted when they saw the man: "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

Zhong Shao had never seen this prince before, but she naturally recognized the prince's clothes, and she bowed her head along with everyone in salute early on, and her performance was not too abrupt.But maybe because she was standing too close to the eldest princess, and holding such a conspicuous brocade box in her hand, the prince saw her at a glance, said a few words to the eldest princess, and then turned to look at her Asked: "This one must be the Duke of Hejian who was proclaimed by the emperor a few days ago?"

Emperor Taiping had always been confused, and it wasn't the first time he had done nepotism. Although this time he casually sealed off a county prince, no one thought it strange when he thought about the lord who favored the harem in the palace.However, Zhong Shao had always lived in seclusion, and most of the people present had never met her before, so when they heard what the prince said, they all cast their gazes over.

Under the attention of all the people, Zhong Shao was able to hold his breath, and bowed to the crown prince with a calm face: "Mr. Zhong Shao of Hejian County, has met His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

The young prince stared at her with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Zhong Shao's thoughts also turned quickly, the first thing that came to his mind was Concubine Yu Gui was in the harem, did he have any suspicions with this prince or his biological mother?But before she could figure out why, she felt that the brocade box in her hand had been taken away.

Seeing the prince taking away Zhong Shao's brocade box, the eldest princess who stood by had a flash of displeasure in her eyes.But she didn't say anything, she just watched the crown prince examine the brocade box, and then asked Zhong Shao, "Is this a congratulatory gift prepared by the Duke for my aunt?"

Perhaps His Royal Highness took it for granted, but Zhong Shao didn't realize that the other party's act was impolite, and replied after hearing the words: "The congratulatory gift I sent before was prepared by the mansion. Your Highness, express your heart."

The prince nodded when he heard the words, and finally he did not continue to be rude. He handed the brocade box to the eldest princess, and then said with a smile: "Gu is very curious about the contents of this box. Since it is a congratulatory gift from the Duke and Auntie, Auntie opened it. How about taking a look?"

Unlike Emperor Taiping, who was greedy for money, lustful and confused, this prince, regardless of his talents and virtues, was too strong a man.This kind of strength made him become more and more popular in the court since he started to participate in politics. Countless people gave up the confused emperor and stood in his camp instead.But neither Zhong Shao nor the eldest princess liked his actions.

The smile on Princess Yingyang's face faded a lot, almost only perfunctory remained.But today, even if there is no interference from the crown prince, the long princess still wants to see this picture, so she just glanced at Zhong Shao in the end, and opened the brocade box casually.

The expressions of the parties concerned were very calm, and even Zhong Shao himself didn't raise his eyelids.On the other hand, Su Han looked at the brocade box and at Zhong Shao, feeling a little worried.He was still optimistic about Zhong Shao, and was afraid that this painting would not be as satisfactory as it was meant to express his heart, but in the end it made Zhong Shao lose face under the eyes of all the people.

Inside the box was a long scroll, the paper still fresh, obviously recently made.

With fair and slender fingers, he took the scroll out of the brocade box, untied the rope, and unfolded it quietly...

The first to see the writing on the scroll was the eldest princess and the crown prince. The former looked indifferent, while the latter raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.The onlookers had already been aroused with curiosity, and they all stared at the back of the scroll, but those two identities were too valuable, but no one dared to go up to them.

After a while, it was Su Han who broke the deadlock, hesitantly asked: "Princess, what is written on it?"

The eldest princess glanced at him, and said calmly: "What can there be, it's just some characters of 'shou'." While talking, she casually turned the whole scroll so that everyone could see the words on it.

It is indeed the word "Shou", which is the most common picture of longevity when celebrating birthdays, but it is different from ordinary pictures of longevity.Hundreds of longevity pictures are mostly used to celebrate the birthday of the elders. Those who are more attentive will ask one hundred people to write a birthday character each, which is time-consuming, laborious and labor-intensive.Zhong Shao wrote this picture by herself, but every birthday character on that paper is different.

Among the people celebrating the birthday in the hall, there are many people who are knowledgeable, and they came up to have a look, and couldn't help being surprised: "Every word is a different style of calligraphy, and these are all written by the county magistrate?!"

As soon as the words fell, more people gathered to watch.The eldest princess impatiently held it up for people to watch, then passed it to the maid next to her, and then asked someone to fetch the shelf, hang the scroll up, and let people look at it carefully.

In fact, Zhong Shao's handwriting is not very good, she has only practiced handwriting for three years, and even though she has studied hard and practiced her handwriting, she is still somewhat lacking in writing skills, which is far from amazing.The reason why these people can't take their eyes off this picture of a hundred years of life is because most of the one hundred characters on it are unheard of or seen by people at that time.After careful study, except for Zhong Shao's weakness in writing, these characters are all in their own family, each character has its own style, and it is definitely the work of calligraphy masters that have been handed down!

However, they have never seen such characters before, not just one, but dozens of them!

There was a commotion in the main hall for a while, and it seemed that the blockbuster effect that Concubine Yu Guifei and the eldest princess wanted had been achieved.Su Han is also a literati, he was very interested in this, so he secretly asked Zhong Shao, "Ah Shao, where did you learn those characters?"

Zhong Shao pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't feel the need to hide it, so he replied casually, "Mr. taught me of course."

It was indeed taught by my husband. Xu Wenjin has probably always followed the path of a scribe. He has been to countless worlds of strategy and strategy before, and his knowledge and knowledge are far beyond comparison.Ordinary people have never seen so many kinds of calligraphy, but he can easily take them out. All Zhong Shao has to do is to spend some time copying these characters. As for the three flavors, he is still far behind.

While the two were talking, they didn't notice that although the crown prince didn't say anything, he kept staring at the picture of a hundred years of life. When he heard Zhong Shao's words, his eyes flickered and kept secret.
