Chapter 032: The Dowry of the World (Second Shift)
The clouds gradually receded, the sky darkened little by little, the lights between the palace and the palace were lit one after another, the four corners of the hall also had unique palace lamps lit, the palace slaves carefully served tea and snacks, and the magnates in gorgeous costumes talked very happily with each other, only the face of the day and night sat in this piece of laughter and laughter in the palace a little out of place.
Left Baling for 12 years, 8 years in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion under the fence, four years in the Zhao State, the four years of the Zhao State, and only the first year was in the Zhao Palace, she was the deprecated princess of the Shu Kingdom, and she had no identity in the Zhao State, only as Zhao Yi's concubine, so she would never really participate in the grand events of the Zhao Palace even in that year.
She is not used to such excitement after all, even if she can act well.
"He must sue you that someone is going to stop you and me from getting married. β
Shang Jue's voice was low, but he heard it clearly, and his eyes swept towards Feng Yu, but he saw that he was also sitting quietly and no longer talking to others, compared to Feng Yuan who was sitting next to him, he looked much bleaker.
"I don't need to tell you, I understand." β
Shang Jue shook his head and grabbed her hand under the table.
Chaoxi frowned, but listened to Shang Jue continue, "He is the first person to show favor to you in Baling, and you must be relieved in your heart." β
Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, "You think I'm such an easily moved person?"
Shang Jue chuckled, "Of course not. β
Chaoxi pursed his lips and said nothing, and also broke away from his hand under the table.
His palm is generous and warm, and when he holds her, he can make people feel inexplicably reassured.
The two of them didn't say a word, others saw the two of them talking, but they didn't know what the two of them said, Shang Jue shook his head and smiled when he saw her so stubborn, "So many people are watching, you should be closer to me." β
She stared for a moment, then bent her lips, and when she smiled, the lights in the hall dimmed a little.
Shang Jue's eyes flashed, but he frowned.
"In the future, don't laugh in front of people. β
The smile suddenly stopped, and the eyebrows were raised, as if he was puzzled!
Shang Jue shook his head and was about to say more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a palace slave walking in from the side door next to the master's seat, and quickly walked to the queen's side and whispered a few words.
The wind swept over the morning and evening, and Shang Jue's eyes also looked over.
The King of Shu spoke in a low voice, and the two of them couldn't hear it clearly, but he could see from his expression that he was angry, and then look at the mouth shape, Chaoxi and Shang Jue both understood the ** of the Ten, just at this moment, the King of Shu seemed to be unable to hold back, and slammed the table, "Continue to lock it up for me! When you don't admit your mistakes, don't think about it! What a rebelββ"
A light drink instantly made the hall quiet, and immediately everyone's eyes looked at the main seat, the king of Shu was watched by everyone before he came back to his senses, busy hiding the embarrassment on his face, Duan Jinyi chuckled lightly beside him, "Okay, okay, Ye'er is still young." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone below showed a clear expression, and the King of Shu waved his hand irritably to let the palace slave retreat!
Looking at this scene, Shang Jue curled his lips again, "It seems that you are not the only one who makes the King of Shu upset, and the thirteenth prince angered the King of Shu before you came back, and he has been imprisoned for almost ten days, and it seems that he will continue to be imprisoned." β
The King of Shu has many children, and the eight-year-old thirteenth prince Feng Ye is the youngest.
Because he is the smallest, he is also extremely favored, but why did the King of Shu be so angry this time?
"Because on the day of his mother's death, he burned incense outside the Shohito Palace. β
Shang Jue whispered, it was dark under his eyes, ten days ago they were on the road all night, this thirteenth prince was still young and had nothing to fear, and he didn't even pay special attention to her when he came back, but why did Shang Jue know so clearly?
Then he squinted his eyes again day and night, and the palace concubines who died in the palace were not eligible to enjoy the sacrificial rites except for the extremely high position that could hold the sacrificial ceremony, and this thirteen prince not only sacrificed, but also sacrificed outside the Zhaoren Palace, not only violated the palace rules, but also seemed to have some other meanings, where could the King of Shu not be angry? !
"His mother died three years ago, and she was just a beauty when she died. β
Later, she was posthumously named a concubine, but she was not eligible to enjoy the death date. β
Shang Jue poured tea for himself while saying it to Chaoxi, and Chaoxi listened attentively, she naturally had her own way of understanding the Shu Palace, but what Shang Jue said she was not impressed, probably she never took the thirteenth prince into consideration.
"It is rumored that the gentle beauty is similar to Princess Zhuang Ji. β
"Oh, the gentle beauty also died of illness. β
After pouring a cup of tea, Shang Jue's words were finished, and the hand holding the tea cup was slightly forced, and his knuckles were white.
Shang Jue stopped at the point, and suddenly turned his head to look at the temple door, "It's here!"
The palace slave who passed the word walked into the hall with a dust whisk in his hand, and after three steps, he knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice, "King Qiqi, Lord Yu Kun of Yan Kingdom has entered Baling with a dowry gift, and Lord Yu Kun has arrived at the gate of the palace. β
The room was silent, Feng Qin's eyes lit up after being stunned for a moment, "Hurry upβ"
The palace slave kowtowed and got up, then withdrew from the hall and trotted away, Feng Qin swept away the ugly look on his face before and laughed loudly, "Gu has long heard of the Yu clan of Yan Kingdom, this Yu Kun seems to be the right-hand man of King Yan and the prince, this time he personally sent a dowry gift to Shu Kingdom, it is really a happy thing, I don't know how King Yan is willing to let him out?"
Shang Jue's expression did not move, "Father has been taking care of state affairs recently, and Shang Jue is in charge of this matter." β
Feng Qin's eyebrows raised slightly, and everyone present was also stunned, Feng Qin smiled again, "Speaking of which, Gu and King Yan also had a relationship, thinking that it should have been a matter of Haojing decades ago, I didn't expect that this time is so many years, I have long heard that Yan Guo has a prince in charge, it seems to be true, but the prince left the dynasty, Yu Kun also left the dynasty, and the country of Yan was ...... domestically."
Feng Qin said vaguely, but no country can be without a king for a day, Shang Jue nodded quietly, "It's true that I'm a little worried, but ......" He suddenly turned his head to look at Chaoxi, "But for the sake of Xixi, it's all worth it." β
Feng Qin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, good, the prince is sincere, it's always safe to marry your daughter to you!"
The hall was full of voices of harmony, and he also turned his head to look at Shang Jue, his eyes were facing each other, one eye was not shocked, and the other eye was still as deep as the abyssal sea.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, Yu Kun, has arrived-"
At the entrance of the hall, there was another sound of gold proclamation, and the atmosphere in the room was slightly solemn.
The King of Shu also smiled and said majestically, "Please!"
When the words settled, I saw a tall figure in a red official uniform flash at the door, it was Yu Kun who had not been seen for many days!
Compared with the meeting in Qinzhou that day, Yu Yu's body at this moment is also much darker and thinner, but his eyes are still bright, and his bearing has not diminished.
Seeing Shang Jue, he took off his robe and bowed, "Yu Yu to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." β
The chief official is upright, if Yu Kun is a Wenchen from the first family of Yan Kingdom, his attitude represents the attitude of half of the Yan country, seeing him like this, the Shu people in the palace believed Shang Jue's words in charge of Yan Kingdom.
Shang Jue bent his lips and said softly, "Get up, the King of Shu has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Yu Kun got up, and only bowed to Feng Qin and Duan Jinyi, who were on the throne, and bowed to them.
"Yu Kun has seen the King of Shu and the Queen. β
If you are not a slave or a master, you naturally don't have to make a big gift, Feng Qin Langran waved his hand and smiled, "You don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite, Yan Shu will be a family in the future, and Lord Yu will be like being in Yan when he arrives in Shu Kingdom!"
Yu Kun's face was respectful, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued, "Thank you King Shu, Yu Kun this time is to send His Royal Highness the prince to welcome the dowry of Her Royal Highness the princess, the previous letter of state has been delivered, presumably the king has already seen it, now why don't you ask the king to see the dowry list first? These dowry gifts are the heart of His Royal Highness the prince to His Royal Highness the princess, and please witness the king." β
Yan Guo's dowry, Yan Guo wants to marry a princess's dowry, you don't have to think about it to know that there must be thousands of treasures inside, although there must be people who are curious, but it is a bit rude to read the names of all the treasures one by one on the hall where everyone gathers, but since Yu Kun can make such a request, there must be something special.
Feng Qin paused slightly, and then laughed again, "Okay, since it is the intention of His Royal Highness the Prince, Gu must take a good look!"
Everyone in the room was shocked, and Yu Kun had turned to look outside the temple door, he clapped his hands gently, and when four young guards dressed in black appeared in everyone's field of vision, these four people carried two and a half people high ebony gilt treasure chests into the temple gate, walked behind Yu Kun before putting the treasure chest, bowed in the direction of Shang Jue and the King of Shu and walked out.
Everyone in the hall looked at the two treasure chests and raised their eyebrows, what kind of treasure is in this box?
The dowry sent by Yan Guo was so powerful that everyone had heard of it for a long time, but at this moment, only two boxes were brought in.
Since there are only two boxes, presumably they contain the most rare things sent this time, what could they be? Two large boxes of orbs, coral, jade carving, or some never-before-seen living creatures? Everyone speculated in their hearts, but some people showed disappointed looks, it was rumored that the dowry had ten miles of red makeup, but in the end there were only two big boxes that could be taken out to preach?!
Everyone's expressions were gloomy, he only smiled slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Shang Jue drinking tea with a calm demeanor and said directly, "There are three dowry gifts given by the prince to Her Royal Highness the princess, and this is one of them." β
There are three, this is one of them, and just one sentence has aroused everyone's interest.
Yu Kun walked to the treasure chest with a slight pause, and opened the lids of the two treasure chests with a bang, and everyone looked at it tightly, and then was dumbfounded...... Those two treasure chests were full of books......
The first dowry gift sent by Shang Jue turned out to be ...... Book?!
What kind of book can be used as a dowry for the princess by him who is so precious!
Everyone was more than stunned, more curious, and more disappointed.
No matter how rare the book is, it is not rare that he can search for two boxes-
Yu Kun smiled unabated, and said unhurriedly, "What is contained here is the roster of all the treasures sent to Yan Country this time, and the prince emptied the treasury of Yan Country in order to welcome the princess, and asked the king and Her Royal Highness the princess to laugh." β
The roster?!, it turned out to be just a roster...... These two big boxes of rosters are all written on the dowry gifts sent this time?!
The room was quiet, and the people who had shown a disappointed look before were stunned, they slowly came back to their senses, and suddenly remembered what Yu Kun said, "emptied the treasury", no one believed that Shang Jue would really empty the treasury of Yan State, but looking at the roster full of two large boxes, everyone thought that the ten miles of red makeup was definitely not a lie.
Shang Jue will definitely not empty the treasury of Yan State, but can these dowry gifts be worth the treasury of Shu State?
Everyone forced themselves to hide the shock in their eyes, and then Yu Kun's voice sounded again!
"This is one of the dowry gifts prepared by the prince for Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
One, just one, that's right, Yu Kun has passed, Shang Jue has prepared three dowry gifts for the day and night!
The first one is already so impressive, but what about the second and third pieces?!
There was no disappointment in everyone's eyes, only full of expectations, Yu Yu also talked eloquently in the face of these eyes, paused and said, "Her Royal Highness the second dowry has accepted ......."
Yu Yu said and looked at Chaoxi, Chaoxi frowned slightly, and then understood!
"It's the Youlu Jue of Emperor Yin Qin back then. β
"Long before the New Year, our Royal Highness the Prince has already given it to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Youlu Jue...... It's really Youlu Jue......
This time, there was less shock in everyone's eyes, but more solemnity!
Shang Jue moved to the gold and silver mountains is indeed shocking, but this Youlu Jue, but it has been beyond the ordinary treasures, it is the most favorite thing of Emperor Yin Qin back then, there are countless legends about it, it is rumored that only the white deer star from the sky can have it, it represents the rights of the emperor, but also represents the world is one noble life......
And such a divine object is owned by a lone star.
Chao Xi slowly bowed her head in the silence, that's right, Shang Jue had already given Youlu Jue to her, and Youlu Jue was hers as early as when Yan Guo was in the camp, and at this moment, it was lying quietly in the position of her heart.
She doesn't believe that Youlu Jue has divine powers, but others believe in it.
The room was silent, and only a handful of people could still keep the eight winds still.
It was Feng Qin, who couldn't help but look at Chaoxi, in the end, it was the king, when he reacted to the difference between Yan and Shu, he began to feel embarrassed by the expressions of his courtiers and children, so he quickly gathered his mind, coughed a few times and asked in a somewhat unsteady tone, "Then, what is the third dowry?"
This question broke everyone's stunned, so all eyes fell on Yu Kun's body again.
Yu Kun's demeanor has not diminished from beginning to end, and when he heard this, the corners of his lips curved higher, and he said slowly, "The third dowry really can't be moved to the king and the princess, because it's too big......"
After a slight pause, Yu Kun said in an indifferent tone, "Our Royal Highness the Prince will also use the five border cities of Zhao State and the four northern cities of Jin Kingdom as a dowry to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, please ask the King and Her Royal Highness the Princess to laugh." β
