Chapter 53: Palace Change (2)
As soon as he heard this, he aroused the curiosity of the hundred officials even more, and they looked at the wooden box with wide eyes one by one, and even Ying Chang was a little curious.
Wei Huai smiled proudly, and then reached out to open the lid of the box, as soon as the lid was opened, all the civil and military officials showed a look of shock, only to see that there was a small pearl in the wooden box, and the hundred officials were shocked not by the size of the pearl, but by the color of the pearl, and by the glow!
That's right, this pearl is golden all over, exuding a sparkling golden glow, which is very beautiful.
"It's... Is this a pearl? Empress Dowager Min was also surprised, how could pearls shine, could it be that Wei Huai didn't know the goods and regarded the night pearl as a pearl, right?
"That's right, this is the pearl, it was bought by the trustee from a fisherman in the Great Wei Empire, listen to the fisherman say, this pearl is not an ordinary pearl, but the inner Dan of the South China Sea mermaid, if you carry it for a long time, it has the effect of moisturizing and replenishing yin, and longevity every year!" Wei Huai said with a smug and proud face.
In order to buy this golden pearl, he spent a whole million taels of silver, and he didn't believe that there was a more valuable gift than this golden pearl at today's birthday banquet!
"The legend of the South China Sea, Xia Guan has also heard of it, I heard that this mermaid, the tears shed will turn into pearls, and the prime minister just said that this golden pearl is the mermaid's inner dan, it seems to be true!" Chang Zifei, the number one celebrity under Wei Huai, said with a look of amazement.
"Xiaguan is also an eye-opener!"
"The Prime Minister really has a heart!"
"yes, yes..."
With the assistance of Chang Zifei, the sword god, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but believe it, and the Empress Dowager Min was even more smiling, and immediately said: "The Prime Minister is so attentive, the mourning family will accept it!" After speaking, Empress Dowager Min gave Li Sanfang a look.
Li Sanfang suddenly understood, walked in front of Wei Huai, took the wooden box with both hands, and then walked back to the Empress Dowager Min, put the wooden box on the imperial table, Empress Dowager Min picked up the golden pearl in the wooden box, looked at it curiously, as if asking, is this the legendary mermaid's inner dan?
"The Empress Dowager, the minister also has a treasure to give to the Empress Dowager, but it is not as valuable as the Prime Minister!" Chang Zifei got up from his seat and said to the Empress Dowager Min with a red face.
When Empress Dowager Min heard this, she put the golden pearl back into the wooden box, and flew back to Chang Zi with a smile on her face: "Master Chang has seen the outside, as the so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, the mourning family doesn't care about the weight of the gift, only cares about the hearts of the Aiqing!" ”
"The Empress Dowager Shengming!" The civil and military officials said flatteringly.
Syllable!
Chang Zifei slapped his palm, and as soon as the palm sound fell, there was a palace maid outside the hall who walked into the Fengtian Hall with her head down and holding a long wooden plate.
"Chang Aiqing, what is this?" Empress Dowager Min asked with some curiosity.
The eyes of all the officials moved to Chang Zifei, only to see Chang Zifei lift the golden satin, revealing his true face, a long sword!
This sword is three feet long, the scabbard is golden, one side is engraved with the pattern of the dragon and the phoenix, the other side is invisible, the hilt is also engraved with the pattern of the dragon and the phoenix, in addition to the dragon and phoenix is auspicious, there are several red gems inlaid in front of the dragon's head, like a dragon ball.
This sword is truly gorgeous, and it is extraordinary at first sight.
Ying Chang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Chang Zifei to give a sword as a gift, but at this time, Ying Chang found that Chang Zifei glanced at him "unintentionally", and suddenly understood in his heart that this was for himself!
"Lord Chang, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, what is your intention in sending a sword?" Qiu Yisheng, who was sitting on the side, stroked his white beard and asked with a puzzled expression.
Empress Dowager Min also frowned, and Wei Huai also fell into deep thought, guessing Chang Zifei's intentions.
Chang Zifei smiled indifferently, and saluted the Empress Dowager Min with a respectful expression and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager, the minister sent this sword, not with another deep meaning, but with this sword is extremely gorgeous, this scabbard is engraved with dragons and phoenixes on one side, and mountains and rivers on the other side, the sun and moon on the other, and the sword body pattern is the same." ”
"This sword was bought by the minister from an old blacksmith, and the old blacksmith said that the material of this sword is made of meteorites from outside the sky, which is extremely sharp, cutting iron like cutting mud, and it is an heirloom of his family! Today, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, the minister really didn't know what to send, so he bought this sword and gave it to the Empress Dowager, and the minister believed that only the Empress Dowager was worthy of this sword! ”
"Master Chang has this heart, and the mourning family is very gratified!" Empress Dowager Min smiled politely, she had no interest in this sword at all, thinking that after the banquet dispersed, she would give it to Wei Huai, who was born as a military general.
Li Sanfang walked in front of Chang Zifei, picked up the sword of the long wooden box with both hands, and put the sword on the royal table, the distance between the sword and Ying Chang is the distance between the chair and the table, and he can get it as soon as he stretches out his hand, Chang Zifei saw the sword on the imperial table, smiled faintly, and then turned straight and returned to his position.
"The Empress Dowager ......"
Next is the time for the flattery of the hundred officials, each took out their treasures, just to fight the Empress Dowager Min smiled, I don't know how long it took, a Royal Forest Army soldier hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, still holding an envelope in his hand, seeing the military waiting coming, the civil and military officials in the hall frowned slightly, I don't know what!
"Bastard thing, who let you in? Do you know what the crime of disturbing the Queen Mother is? Wei Huai immediately frowned and scolded.
Jun Hou trembled in fright, and hurriedly saluted Wei Huai and Empress Dowager Min, and said in a hurried tone: "Empress Dowager, Prime Minister, just now outside the palace, a stranger handed this envelope to the station chief, saying that it was related to Daqin Sheji, and the young general did not dare to slack off, so he had to trespass into the Fengtian Palace, disturbing the adults and the Empress Dowager!" ”
Winning Chang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction in his heart, this Imperial Forest Army soldier only relied on a stranger's sentence about Daqin Sheji, and he risked his life to rush into Fengtian Temple, it seems that he is a loyal man, write it down, and reuse it in the future!
This soldier could never have imagined that because of this incident, his future would take a turning point.
"Put things down, people get out!" Wei Huai scolded with a cold face, if it weren't for my sister's thirtieth birthday, I would have pulled it out and cut it a long time ago!
As soon as the Imperial Forest Army waited for him to leave, Li Sanfang walked over and picked up the envelope and presented the envelope to the Empress Dowager Min.
"Hiss"
Mrs. Min teared open the envelope expressionlessly, and took out a folded white paper from it, Empress Dowager Min unfolded the white paper, fixed her eyes, Ying Chang sat next to her, and also glanced at it, I didn't know if I didn't see it, and I almost laughed when I saw it.
PS: "Ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections, and ask all book friends to vote for Daqin!" ”
