Chapter 30 Rattle
"Tonight is that man's birthday feast, what are you going to give him? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qingran sat in the room and asked with his head down.
"A pair of rattles. Yu Zimo replied nonchalantly.
"Oh. "The rattle sounds ordinary, but Yu Zimo's rattle must have something special about it. If it wasn't for that person, he might have been a little curious.
"Are you really not going tonight?" asked Yu Zimo.
"Hmm. ”
"Whatever you want. ”
King Shang's birthday was the second day of spring, and with the joy of the Spring Festival, his birthday banquet was particularly lively.
At the birthday banquet, the princes and courtiers congratulated their kings on his birthday and offered various birthday gifts. Other countries also sent envoys to pay tribute to the Shang king. Rare birds and beasts, Jiamu strange stones, jade toys and treasures are dazzling.
The prince didn't come, and Qing Yao stayed with the princess. She saw that Xiao Changyu gave King Shang a gold bottle, and forced a smile on her face when she spoke. Ling Zhan and they suddenly disappeared, he must have doubts, and he couldn't make a noise, so he could only hold back secretly. Xiao Changgong presented a piece of moire jade. No matter what he thinks in his heart, on the surface he is still respectful and reasonable, his demeanor is steady, and he has the air of elegance in his heroic martial arts, but he has the air of a king. Judging from her ability and temperament, Qing Yao secretly felt that Xiao Bogong was more compatible with their princess. The princess chose Xiao Qingran, there must be a reason for her.
It was Yu Zimo's turn to present a gift. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zi Mo's body. Yu Zimo got up calmly, stepped forward, and bowed slightly to the king of Shang.
A smile suddenly bloomed on King Shang's face. Since the king of Shang succeeded to the throne, in order to be a good king, he changed from the unruly and unruly time when he was a prince before, and became unsmiling, majestic and inviolable, and rarely kind to people, even to his princess is very serious. Only for Zi Mo is that he is extremely friendly and has a lovely smile.
"I don't know what kind of gift you brought Zimo?" asked King Shang kindly.
Yu Zimo smiled slightly, waved his hand at Qing Yao, and Qing Yao hurriedly put the gift on.
Everyone's eyes followed the Shang King. On the Qingyao support is a pair of green jade rattles. The jade is warm and beautifully made.
"It turned out to be a pair of rattles, Zi Mo's gift is really novel and chic. ”
"The King. Yu Zimo said in a jade-like voice, "This pair of rattles is called Mu Yuan Ling." ”
"Mu Yuanling's name is also chic. King Shang said with a smile.
"This has a peculiarity for rattles. Yu Zimo continued, "If you don't meet someone who is destined, you won't make a sound." ”
"Oh?" The people present were all attentive when they heard it, and they didn't quite understand what Yu Zimo meant.
"This bell is a rattle, but not everyone can ring it. Yu Zimo explained.
When the king of Shang heard this, he thought it was interesting, and he hurriedly asked people to present the rattle immediately. The attendant brought the rattle to the king of Shang. King Shang was about to reach out for the rattle, but he took his hand back again. He looked at the princess beside him with an interesting look and said, "You try it first." ”
The princess also found it amused, so she picked up one of the rattles. The whole rattle is made of green jade, and the sound of green jade colliding should be extremely crisp and moving. The princess tried to shake it lightly twice, but the rattle did not make a sound, and she shook it vigorously twice, but the jade bell still made no sound. The king of Shang and those present were surprised.
The princess picked up another rattle and tried the same twice, but both times there was no sound.
"Sister, I'll try it too. Sitting under the princess, the other concubine of the king of Shang said.
The princess gave her the rattle, and after the concubine tried, she didn't ring the Mu Yuan bell.
"It seems that sister, you are not destined for this bell. The princess said with a smile.
Two more concubines tried, but they still failed to ring the Mu Yuan bell.
"Alright. The king of Shang asked him to bring the rattle back, "This rattle is really magical." I don't know if this king can shake it. Shang Wang's tone was a little hesitant, after all, the first few people failed to ring the bell. He gently picked up a rattle, and seeing that the rattle did not move, the people present couldn't help but be nervous, and even held their breath.
King Shang also seemed to be nervous, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to hold the rattle hand and shook it gently. The delicate ram of the green jade and the smooth bell wall collided together, making a crisp, melodious, and pleasant sound.
Those who heard it breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was a cheer.
The king of Shang was even more happy. In fact, he was also a little worried about what he would do if he couldn't ring the bell. As soon as Mu Yuan's bell rang, his heart opened like a bell, and he smiled more and more happily.
"The king really has a fate with this Mu Yuanling, and he is dedicated to the king. Yu Zimo wasted no time in saying.
King Shang looked at the rattle happily and couldn't put it down. He said to Zi Mo, "This king is very satisfied with this gift, and he loves it very much. Zi Mo, this king wants to reward you heavily, the things in the treasure house in the palace, whatever you like. "This is the treatment that no one has ever had in the king of Shang.
"King, this rattle is a birthday gift for you, if you are happy and satisfied, Zi Mo will be very happy, how can you take your things in turn. Yu Zimo said.
"Nope. The king of Shang took the rattle and said resolutely, "This king said that if you want to reward, you must reward, as long as you like it." ”
"Princess, don't push it back. Several ministers standing near Yu Zimo, including Xiao Changyu, all said.
But it was disrespectful, Yu Zimo was not polite, and gave another salute, "King Xie." ”
"It's all a family, what's polite. The king of Shang laughed heartily, "When you turn around, the king will send guards to accompany you to the treasury, as long as you like, take whatever you like." ”
After the birthday celebration, the banquet began, and between the discussions, many princes and ministers were still talking about Yu Zimo's gifts. At the banquet, Yu Zimo laughed lightly with the king of Shang, and did not refuse the toast of the prince's relatives and ministers, which became a focus of the banquet in addition to the king of Shang.
Qing Yao was beside the princess, and she could see that the king of Shang was very fond of the princess. The princess was fine, but the concubines beside King Shang looked at Yu Zimo's expressions very unnaturally, obviously hostile. It seems that neither the concubines of the king of Xin, nor the concubines beside the king of Shang, do not like the princess. Qing Yao was a little sympathetic to them, they were jealous, and they hit the empty wall with their iron fists, and they had nowhere to focus.
After the singing and dancing, the birthday feast ended, and the people dispersed one after another.
When Yu Zimo returned to the mansion, it was already very late. Qingran hasn't slept yet.
"Is it going well tonight?" Qingran asked Qing Yao, "Did she drink a lot of wine again?"
Qing Yao nodded secretly.
"I'll prepare a soup for her. He brought down the soup that had been hot on the stove.
Yu Zimo looked at the hangover soup that Qingran brought to her, and the expression on her face gradually became sad. This frightened Qing Ran and Qing Yao.
"What's going on?" Qingran asked Qing Yao in a low voice.
Qing Yao looked dazed, "Everything is fine." The king was very pleased with the princess's gift, and wanted to reward the princess. Nothing else has happened?" But the princess's expression, not to mention Prince Qingran, was she the first time she had seen it.
"Qing Yao. Yu Zimo stroked the warm soup bowl with a pair of jade hands, "Pack up our things, in a few days, we may have to leave here." ”
"Is the princess going back to Dongshire?"
Yu Zimo didn't answer, slowly finished the hangover soup, took off the clothes that grew up on his body, and walked to the bed......
