Chapter 440: Drunk Ye Yungui
Qiao Mingyue didn't like to drink, she only lowered her head to eat, and occasionally said a word or two to them, seeing that Qi Jingyun used various methods to pour wine into Ye Yungui, Ye Yungui couldn't help it, so she could only drink one cup after another.
Seeing that Qi Jingyun had been pouring wine into Ye Yungui, Tuoba Yu also realized it later, so he also changed his previous arrogance and joined the battle.
"Hiccup...... Your Highness, Your Highness...... Lord Wang, the lower officials really can't drink anymore, the time given by His Majesty is coming soon, what if ...... If the repair work is not completed, the lower officials will be held accountable. Ye Yungui waved his hand, his face was flushed, and his eyes also had a confused look after being drunk.
Qiao Mingyue looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, Ye Yungui's amount of alcohol is really not good! It's just three pots of wine, and it's drunk like this!
But seeing that his face was flushed, this drunkenness didn't look like he was pretending.
As soon as he heard that Ye Yungui said that the emperor would punish him if he didn't succeed in the task, Tuoba Yu was even more energetic, in his opinion, Ye Yungui's punishment was equivalent to slapping Tuoba Gong's face, and he was naturally happy to see it.
Seeing Tuoba Yu becoming more and more attentive, Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the prince was really short-sighted, for the sake of temporary refreshment, regardless of the safety of the country, he was really brainless.
For Nanzhaoguo, the Flower Dynasty Festival is not only a festival, but also a day to pray for God's blessing and ask for the peace of the country and the people.
Fortunately, the emperor turned the tide and immediately summoned 3,000 soldiers and ordered the altar to be repaired within seven days to calm the people.
The emperor's decree has been made, if the altar is not repaired within these seven days, or if there is any accident within these seven days, it will only make the superstitious people of Nanzhao still panic.
At this time, if someone makes trouble and stirs up public opinion, I am afraid that there will be a big mess.
From this point of view, Tuoba Yu is really inferior to Tuoba Gong, and Tuoba Gong will never make such a big sacrifice for such a small profit.
Unless such a sacrifice allows him to get what he wants, it is worth it for him.
Qiao Mingyue thought in her heart, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Ye Yungui, who was still awake just now, really drunk at the moment, lying on the table as if she was asleep, and her face was red like a boiled crab.
"Lord Ye, are you drunk? Do you want someone to send you back? Qi Jingyun came to Ye Yungui's side and asked, Ye Yungui raised his head, stared at an empty seat, and looked at it in a daze for a long time.
Only then did he suddenly show a smile, and while burping, he said, "Don't worry, prince, I'm ...... I'm not drunk, I can ...... Go back yourself! ”
Isn't this drunk yet?
Seeing Ye Yungui staring at the window and shouting at the prince, Qiao Mingyue could only shake her head helplessly, Qi Jingyun threw the fan in his hand on the table, and called the attendants around him.
The attendant carried Ye Yungui away and walked to the door, Ye Yungui returned and shouted through the crack in the door that he hadn't drunk enough, Qi Jingyun's face was black and waving his hand, and the attendant took a lot of effort to take Ye Yungui away.
"I saved the princess, what reward does the prince want to give me...... Don't want anything else, just be promoted, the Ministry of Rites is still ...... Belch...... Too bullying! Ye Yungui's voice gradually disappeared into the corridor, and Qi Jingyun looked at Tuoba Yu coldly.
I didn't pour the wine like this, I was drunk and became a puddle of mud, how can I get my words?
Tuoba Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, beside Qi Jingyun, he had never dared to hold the prince's shelf, and only said softly: "I didn't expect him to be so undrunk, and a few pots of wine would become like this." ”
Qi Jingyun didn't bother to pay attention to him, reached out and took Qiao Mingyue's hand and walked out, Tuoba Yu chased after him, Qi Jingyun only said that since Tuoba Yu wanted to have a treat, then he paid the bill.
The young man smiled and reported the bill, Tuoba Yu was tripped up, and Qi Jingyun pulled Qiao Mingyue out of the restaurant.
Downstairs, the groom drove the carriage to stop at the door of Qiyun Tower, and saw Qi Jingyun pulling Qiao Mingyue out of the building, and hurriedly got out of the carriage to salute, Qi Jingyun got into the car first, and then stretched out his hand from inside, pulling Qiao Mingyue into the car as well.
In the car, Qiao Mingyue gently took out a small piece of broken jade found in the soil where the altar was repaired today, "Lord Wang, look, what is this!" ”
The little jade was buried in the soil, and if she hadn't reached out to pick up the soil, she probably wouldn't have found it.
Handing the jade to Qi Jingyun, Qi Jingyun took the jade and looked down carefully, and after a while, his face became slightly solemn.
"This jade should be something from the previous dynasty!" Although the jade fragment in his hand is very small, the texture is indeed extremely high-quality, and it is not uncommon to see such a good jade.
Even Qi Jingyun, who grew up in the palace, had to sigh that this small piece of jade in his hand was a good thing.
Qiao Mingyue asked Qi Jingyun why he was sure that this jade was something from the previous dynasty, and Qi Jingyun slowly talked about the development of the Southern Zhao Kingdom when he heard the words.
The previous dynasty, for the Southern Qi State, founded 652 years, is the longest dynasty in history, according to legend, the Southern Qi has been collecting all kinds of treasures in the past 600 years, in order to one day these treasures can support the country undefeated.
But I didn't expect that the founding king of the Southern Zhao Kingdom was a close confidant of the last emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, rebelled at night, and killed all the royal families, so the emperors of the Southern Qi Dynasty didn't have time to use these treasures.
After the founding of the Nanzhao state, the founding emperor of the Nanzhao Dynasty once sent people to look for these treasures, but it is unknown whether they were found later.
After listening to Qi Jingyun's words, Qiao Mingyue frowned, "You mean, the jade fragment in this hand is likely to be one of those treasures that Nanqi collected back then?" And the founding emperor of Nanzhao also found those treasures a long time ago, and buried these treasures under the altar of Nanzhao? ”
Qi Jingyun nodded slightly, "It is likely that this is the case, the founding emperor of Nanzhao hid these treasures here, in case Nanzhao will follow in the footsteps of Nanqi in the future, and one day when the country is unable to continue, these treasures will be enough to support the country for another hundred years." ”
A treasure that can allow a country to support a hundred years, Qiao Mingyue didn't dare to think about how many gold and silver treasures were buried under this ground!
The thought of those gold and silver treasures at her feet made her uncontrollable excitement! A pair of eyes were shining, Qi Jingyun couldn't help but smile and shake her head when she saw her like this, saying that she was obsessed with wealth again.
Qiao Mingyue didn't think so, what's wrong with the money fan? If she doesn't save money and leaves Kyoto in the future, how can she raise Qi Jingyun, a prince who is used to living a life of brocade clothes and jade food?
Qi Jingyun smiled, reached out and rubbed her head, "If you want to go and see, why don't I accompany you at night!" ”
