Chapter 504: The big white goose raised by your sister Tang Bao must be delicious
"It's good that father knows." Xuanyuan Jin muttered in a low voice.
However, the muttering sound could definitely be heard clearly by Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
This son has really changed!
He is becoming more and more disobedient and bolder!
Emperor Tianxi suppressed the urge to beat his son and turned his attention back to the painting.
"Was this painting by Yu Zhilan?"
Emperor Tianxi glanced at the signature below, with a hint of certainty in his tone.
"In reply to your Majesty, it was Master Yu who wrote it." Xuanyuan Jin answered seriously.
"The crane in this painting is very close to this little girl," said Emperor Tianxi.
He absolutely refused to admit it, and there was a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"Your Majesty, you must have seen it wrong. This is not a crane, but the big white goose raised by Tang Bao." Xuanyuan Jin said seriously.
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
His expression was stunned.
Oh, maybe my son doesn’t know what cranes are.
but--
Emperor Tianxi remembered the painting of "Pine and Crane Longevity" hanging in the Empress Dowager's palace.
"Jin'er, you should still remember the painting hanging in your grandmother's palace, right?" Emperor Tianxi said patiently, "That painting is of a crane."
What I mean is that the painting you have is also of a crane.
After hearing what his father said, Xuanyuan Jin said seriously, "This son still remembers the painting, so I am sure that Tang Bao is raising a big white goose instead of a crane."
Xuanyuan Jin pointed to the two red and three red cranes in the painting and continued, "Your Majesty, please look at the cranes in your grandmother's painting. Their necks aren't as long, their feathers aren't as bright, and their bodies aren't as graceful..."
Xuanyuan Jin spoke clearly and logically, and finally concluded: "So, Father, this is not a crane, it's a big white goose."
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
My teeth feel a little sour.
"Jin'er?" There was a sense of majesty and oppression in Emperor Tianxi's voice.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Emperor Tianxi with confusion.
"Father, do you think that what I said is wrong?"
After saying that, he muttered a little unconvinced.
"It's obviously Tang Bao's big white goose. It's more beautiful than the crane in Huang Grandmother's painting."
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
This son has turned bad!
He just didn't believe it, and after comparing the two, his son still thought that the painting was of a big white goose.
Unless, my son did it on purpose!
"Jin'er, is this really a big white goose?"
Emperor Tianxi narrowed his eyes and poked Erhong in the painting with the jade fan worth a thousand gold coins in his hand.
This "big white goose" flew away right under his nose!
Whenever Emperor Tianxi thought of the scene that day, he wanted to cut off the wings of the big white goose.
"Father, this is of course a big white goose!" Xuanyuan Jin said in a confident voice: "If you don't believe me, you can go to the village and ask. All the villagers know that this is the big white goose raised by Tang Bao!"
Xuanyuan Jin is extremely confident about this.
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
Seeing my son's confident expression, I thought about it...
Could it be that the country folk didn't recognize the crane and mistook it for a white goose?
That's a possibility...
Emperor Tianxi glanced at the paintings on the table and had to admit that Yu Zhilan was a good painter.
The cheerful and bright atmosphere in the painting hits you as soon as you see it.
Not only that, but it also seemed to be carrying an indescribable aura of wonder, enveloping the crane and the little girl...
"Yu Zhilan's painting skills are getting better and better." Emperor Tianxi said.
Xuanyuan Jin's eyes flashed.
"Your Majesty's eyes are as sharp as a torch." Xuanyuan Jin said, "How about Your Majesty compose a poem and put it above the painting?"
Xuanyuan Jin said this and glanced down at Erhong and Sanhong.
He continued, "If this painting could be copied by my father, it would surely be passed down through the ages. My father is known for his literary talent, so I'm sure he has some good words in mind..."
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Tianxi with admiration.
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
I immediately remembered the beautiful words that I was about to say.
Emperor Tianxi's face turned dark.
Then, he looked at his son in front of him with some suspicion.
Could this brat have heard something and done it on purpose?
"Father, what's wrong?" Xuanyuan Jin looked at Emperor Tianxi with a puzzled look on his face. "Why does Father look at his son like this?"
Emperor Tianxi, "...It's fine, it's just that father really dislikes these two big white geese."
Emperor Tianxi deliberately emphasized the three words "big white goose", as if they were popping out from between his teeth.
An expression of regret appeared on Xuanyuan Jin's little face.
"Father, the big white goose raised by Tangbao is very well-behaved and obedient. Your Majesty will definitely like it when he sees it." Xuanyuan Jin said.
"Really?" Xuanyuan Jin gritted his teeth and said with a hint of meaning, "I've heard that geese are not gentle and love to peck people. Could it be that the white geese raised by your sister Tangbao are different?"
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
It's different, very different!
Xuanyuan Jin was young after all, and although he hesitated for only a moment, Emperor Tianxi discovered the clue.
This brat, I’m afraid he really did it on purpose!
What to do?
Itchy hands!
I want to beat this brat!
Emperor Tianxi was worried that he would not be able to control himself and beat his son violently, so he stood up and said, "Come with your father and take a walk outside. Maybe you can see the big white geese raised by your sister Tangbao!"
"The roasted goose liver is good, and the braised goose meat is also good. Although plucking the feathers is a bit troublesome, father believes that your chef can definitely prepare a goose feast!"
"Since your sister Tangbao raises such good white geese, I'm sure the goose meat is much more delicious than ordinary geese."
"You've been so kind to her, I'm sure she wouldn't be reluctant to stew two geese for father."
Humph! I must stew those two "big white geese" today!
Xuanyuan Jin's face changed.
Although I think that my father should not kill auspicious things, this auspicious thing has brought shame to my father.
What if, in a fit of rage, the Emperor really wants to kill the two cranes...
Xuanyuan Jin felt a little regretful for provoking his father.
Emperor Tianxi glanced at Xuanyuan Jin and became more and more certain that his son did it on purpose.
Emperor Tianxi hummed twice in his heart, and strode out with the might of a dragon.
The steps were as if he was going to catch and slaughter a goose.
However, as soon as Emperor Tianxi stepped out of the room, he saw Yu Zhilan walking towards him from a distance.
When Yu Zhilan saw Emperor Tianxi, her expression was stunned.
Thinking he was dazzled, he rubbed his eyes quickly.
Looking again, it’s true!
This is the emperor!
Yu Zhilan hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt down.
"I, a commoner, pay my respects to the Emperor..."
"Master Huang!"
Emperor Tianxi said lightly.
Yu Zhilan understood immediately.
The emperor is on a secret visit and does not want to reveal his identity.
"Yes, yes, I'm honored to meet Mr. Huang." Yu Zhilan said with a look of fear and trepidation on her face.
But he was secretly complaining in his heart. Since he was Mr. Huang, and he was the top scholar, he didn't have to kneel when he met an official. So he didn't have to kneel when he met Mr. Huang, right?
However, even though she thought so, Yu Zhilan still didn't dare to get up because Mr. Huang didn't tell her to.
