Chapter 38: Temptation
After speaking, Princess Yuya stepped aside, took a rather heavy ebony box from the handmaiden's hand, and then opened it in front of Chu Xiaoxiao.
The moment the ebony box was opened, Chu Xiaoxiao instantly squinted her eyes.
I saw that the fine ebony box was covered with snow-white animal skins, and on top of the animal skins was a piece of red jade about a foot long.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao was a killer in her previous life, she had seen a lot of all kinds of treasures, especially gold and jade. And the piece of red fei in front of him, Chu Xiaoxiao only knew at a glance that the appearance was absolutely extraordinary, or it was not an exaggeration to say that it was priceless.
Even in modern times, red fei is rare, let alone in ancient times. Not only that, but the red jade color in front of me was as red and transparent as blood, and if you looked closely, there was even a faint fluorescence circulating inside.
Such a piece of red jade that is extraordinary in appearance and size is definitely worth more than that Xiyue scimitar.
What's more, although the red jade in front of him has been dialed with stone skin, it has not been carved at all, if Chu Xiaoxiao likes anything in the future, he can find a craftsman to carve it separately.
"How is it?" Princess Yuya raised her willow eyebrows proudly, looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said: "Our jade in Nanzhao is the first in the world, and this piece of red jade is also extremely precious in our Nanzhao. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao's mood instantly improved, beckoned to the two subordinates to take this piece of red jade down, and then directly ordered: "Didn't you see the Seven Princes of Nanzhao and Princess Yuya coming? ”
Originally, she was not uncommon with the Xiyue Treasure Knife, and in Chu Xiaoxiao's opinion, the greatest value of the Xiyue Treasure Knife was just its value.
Over the years, the royal collection of Dijon has completely ruined the edge of the Xiyue Treasure Knife, and the gems and gold inlaid on it have made the treasure knife that was supposed to be used to kill enemies become only suitable for human use.
With such a knife, it would be useless for Chu Xiaoxiao to come.
And the most important thing is that Princess Nahelan doesn't look like a good stubble, Chu Xiaoxiao doesn't want to get into trouble for herself for a so-called treasure knife that is just valuable.
So after Princess Yuya expressed her love for the Xiyue Treasure Knife yesterday, Chu Xiaoxiao gave it directly to Princess Yuya, and it was impossible for Princess Helan to go to Princess Yuya's trouble.
And today's piece of red fei is an unexpected joy.
Mo Yao looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, who changed her face so quickly, in shock, and said after a long time: "It's good that Miss Chu can like it, although this red fei is not as heirloom as the Xiyue Treasure Knife, it is also a favorite of my Nanzhao Kingdom." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Chu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Do the Seventh Prince and Princess Yuya want to stay and eat?"
When the baby arrived, Chu Xiaoxiao thought that there was no trace of Mei Zizi and gave an eviction order.
"......" Mo Yao was speechless for a while, and then slowly exhaled and said, "No, it's not too early, this king and the sister won't bother." ”
"Then I won't send it, the two of you will walk slowly. Chu Xiaoxiao said very happily.
Mo Yao: "......"
Princess Yuya: "......"
Speaking of which, even if Princess Yuya didn't want to leave, she could only leave with her royal brother.
Except for the Chu Mansion, Princess Yuya lowered her face, pouted and said to Mo Yao a little unhappily: "Brother Huang, I said that Chu Xiaoxiao didn't mean to approach me, do you believe it now?"
"This Chu Xiaoxiao is an interesting girl. Mo Yao chuckled and said.
Princess Yuya is of great significance to Nanzhao, so there are always some people with ulterior motives around Princess Yuya, and this time when Chu Xiaoxiao appeared next to Princess Yuya, it was too much of a coincidence, so he had to think more.
And now it seems that he lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Princess Yuya pursed her lips and said: "No matter how interesting you are, people don't like you, I originally wanted Chu Xiaoxiao to be my imperial sister-in-law, the prince of Izumo Kingdom is not worthy of her at all, and now there is no drama." ”
Her royal brother is the most outstanding man in Nanzhao, and many girls in Nanzhao are fascinated by her imperial brother, but in the eyes of Chu Xiaoxiao just now, Mo Yao is not as attractive as that piece of red jade.
"Yuya. Mo Yao said unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of imperial sister-in-law, there is nothing." ”
"Yes, even if it was, it doesn't exist now. Seeing Mo Yao's face sank, Princess Yuya was not afraid of him, so she spoke directly and pushed back, then snorted lightly, raised her legs and left.
Mo Yao looked at Princess Yuya with a helpless face in the back, she was obedient and well-behaved in front of Chu Xiaoxiao just now, but now she was completely revealed in front of him.
On the other side, in Chu Xiaoxiao's courtyard in the Chu Mansion.
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled and touched the red fei that had just arrived, and her heart was so beautiful that she was bubbling.
I didn't expect to have such a harvest today, she was so unfathomable yesterday, she even let Mo Yao come to the door to test it, and let her pick up such a treasure for nothing.
Looking at the red fei in the box, Chu Xiaoxiao said quite inspirationally: "I have decided, from now on I will be an unfathomable master of the world!"
At this time, Chu Ci walked in, looked at Chu Xiaoxiao suspiciously, and said, "What kind of master in the world?"
Chu Xiaoxiao was startled when she saw Chu Ci coming in, and hurriedly said, "Ah, Dad, why are you here?"
Chu Ci glanced at the red fei in the ebony box on the table, and then said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "My father heard that the Seven Princes of Nanzhao and Princess Yuya are here, so he specially came back to take a look, this is brought by the Seven Princes of Nanzhao and Princess Yuya?"
"yes. Chu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Didn't I give the Xiyue Treasure Knife to Princess Yuya yesterday, and today the Seven Princes of Nanzhao brought Princess Yuya to return the gift?"
Hearing this, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”
Seeing Chu Ci's expression, Chu Xiaoxiao could also understand.
No matter in any era, inexplicably receiving gifts from others, but anyone who is psychologically normal will always be a little uneasy.
After Chu Ci's words were finished, he looked at Chu Xiaoxiao hesitantly and said, "Xiaoxiao, you ...... yesterday."
Before Chu Ci finished speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao understood what he wanted to say, so he smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, it's the people of Di Rong Kingdom who are in the ring in our capital, they can win, and we can naturally let them lose." Could it be that Di Rong still wants to embarrass my courtiers for such a thing?"
"That being said...... Chu Ci frowned, obviously still a little worried.
Chu Ci didn't have a good impression of the people of Dirong Kingdom, because Feng Yao died on the battlefield in the battle with Dirong Kingdom.
