After Chu Shenxia and the others returned home, they didn't see Princess Yongming for a few days, it is said that she was sick and bedridden, and no one saw her, even the maid sent food, and she put it down and left. Although the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info said that he was sick, Yongming had not even summoned Banrong once, and after thinking about it in their hearts, it was clear.

Yongming must still be angry about the events of that day, Chu Shenxia didn't know how many times he asked Liu Yan to take a look, but Liu Yan didn't care.

The harsh winter seems to have passed, but the temperature has not risen significantly, and the people in the palace are very busy these days, and the birthday of the Son of Heaven is probably the most important thing in this year's New Year.

Even the monarchs of various countries were invited to come, but Lu Guojun was absent from the country, and people with a discerning eye knew that harmony was just Lu Jun's strategy to delay the army, and a person with great ambitions like Lu Jun would never give up easily.

For the Southern Song Dynasty, it was only a matter of time before the Lu State was annihilated.

This is also what the Son of Heaven is worried about at present, he is afraid that in response to what the minister said, King Shun married Princess Yongming, and one day he will overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty with Lu Jun.

Although he knew his son so well, and was as loyal and upright as his mother, although he was a little more frank and willful, they would never do anything to kill a king and seize the throne.

But once the seeds of suspicion in my heart germinate, the consequences must be unpredictable, and the middle-aged Son of Heaven always feels that the Southern Song Dynasty will usher in a big turmoil.

Concubine Gao Xian whispered several times to her majesty before pulling the thoughts of the son of heaven back to reality, he looked down at the orange in his mouth, smiled slightly and bit down.

There was endless pampering in his eyes, and he tilted his head and smiled: "The powder you used today is very chic." ”

Concubine Gao Xian laughed a little embarrassedly, and said with her fingers through her hair: "It was given to me by Princess Yongming, saying that it is the best rouge in their Lu country." ”

When the emperor saw her smile shyly, he remembered the scene of his acquaintance at the beginning of that year, when she was hundreds of times more willful than now, and made the palace so troublesome, even if she was pregnant, she didn't rest, and almost slipped several times.

If you want to say that you are really stable, or Zishun accidentally fell into the pond when she was three years old, the doctor said that she couldn't save her, she was crazy and cried loudly and guarded Zishun and didn't allow anyone to approach, I don't know if the heavens hung the curtain on their mother and son or the doctor was too old and incompetent. Zishun actually came back to life, but this incident still had a great impact on her, and she has never seen her arrogant again, she has become a little cautious in her actions, and she can also phrase her words, even when she meets herself, she is faint, and she deliberately avoids it.

The emperor's heart was sour, he could see that she was a lot calmer, but the kindness in her heart did not decrease with time, and even passed on this kindness to Zishun well.

Thinking of this, he was a little relieved, and unconsciously picked up a grape in his hand, handed it to her mouth, and watched her eat it with some surprise.

The singing just stopped, the dancers slowly withdrew, and King Shun suddenly walked out of his seat and said loudly: "The son has three gifts that he wants to give to his father." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, good." ”

The inner supervisor brought up three large old boxes, and the people present couldn't help whispering, and even Concubine Gao Xian's face showed a look of surprise.

King Shun pointed to the first old box and said, "I wish my father the emperor the crane to send the spring and autumn season, and the ancient cypress towers to the sky forty times." Erchen traveled through the mountains and saw a strange image, a crane standing on a tree and always maintaining a motionless posture, Erchen felt that it was rare, so he brought them back together. ”

Everyone whispered: "How is it possible, where can such a big tree fit in such a box?" ”

Under the curious eyes of everyone, the inner supervisor struggled to open the heavy lid of the box, only to see that there was only one scroll at the bottom of the huge box, but when opened, it was ten meters long.

The crane on the scroll is lifelike standing on the top of the tree, and the surrounding mountains are under the tree, giving it a sense of pride.

King Shun explained: "The retainers felt that everything fell under the knees of their father, so it was the same everywhere, so the retainer drew that scene. ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but show some approval, and the emperor was even more pleased: "Zishun, you have a heart, I like it very much, it's very good." ”

When the second box was opened, King Shun immediately said: "I wish my father a civilized and prosperous year, and I wish my father and the dove staff to protect Jiuru." ”

Pei Chendong poked his head and looked at it and exclaimed: "This is actually a dove cane in the pre-Qin period, it's rare!" ”

King Shun smiled indifferently, then motioned to the inner supervisor to open the third box, and said: "Three wishes to the father Emperor Yaochi for the spring of immortality, and the longevity of the universe is auspicious." ”

Everyone stretched their necks to look, only to see a delicate flower pot at the bottom, and there was only a small light purple lotus flower in the pot, the core of which was black, very inconspicuous, less than half of the lotus flower posture in the pool outside.

I couldn't help but sigh a little: "This lotus is nothing special." ”

I don't know who in the crowd mocked: "Isn't it the lotus flower that His Royal Highness King Shun dug up hundreds of years ago?" Then it's time to become a sperm. ”

The emperor's eyes crossed over the lotus, waiting for him to explain, and King Shun smiled: "This lotus has never been thanked since it bloomed, and it has been more than forty years so far, and it still maintains its original posture. ”

King Qing was shocked: "Brother Huang is saying that such a small lotus flower has bloomed for forty years? ”

"Yes. More than forty years. ”

"As far as I know, the lotus flower blooms once a year, and gradually grows up every year after that, even the newborn lotus is several times larger than the imperial brother's, but the imperial brother told me that this little lotus has been blooming for more than 40 years, which is really unheard of." King Qing said incredulously.

"yes, yes." Pei Chendong echoed, his eyes paused, and he pretended to be unintentional: "Could it be a new lotus?" Your Royal Highness King Shun, I'm not saying that you deceived the saint, I'm just afraid that you will be deceived by a villain who is good at gluttony. ”

The crowd suddenly let out a whispered conversation, and there was a commotion in the main hall.

King Shun looked at the ground for a long time, but he couldn't find a place to put his gaze, and an extremely gentle voice suddenly jumped out of the noisy noise: "This kind of lotus, I know." ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by this soft voice, Yongming sat on his knees with his back straight, his eyes were as clean as water, and the whole person looked weak, but it was impossible to ignore her words.

Even King Shun couldn't help but look at her, Yongming faced the emperor, and said with a slight bow: "Lu is rich in lotus flowers, I grew up in the lotus pile since I was a child, and even my clothes and fans are embroidered with lotus flowers. This lotus flower of His Royal Highness King Shun is a lotus flower that grows on a high mountain cliff, and is accompanied by severe cold all year round, which is a rare cure. If you put it here, you won't survive, and it will soon wither. Your Highness has preserved it so well, I am stupid, I want to ask Your Highness how to do it? ”

King Shun met her clear eyes, was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Actually, it's not difficult, the harsh winter hasn't really passed, the temperature is not so high that it will be wiped out at once, the soil is specially made, and even the flower pot is surrounded by ice, so that it can survive." Before that, it had been kept in a special ice cellar, and it could grow well. ”

Yongming nodded slightly, not showing surprise, as if he had known this method for a long time.

Seeing her so generous, King Shun, who had always been straightforward, was a little embarrassed, and looked away unnaturally, faintly feeling that there were a few eyes around him falling on him, and he looked at them, and those eyes suddenly shrank back.

For some reason, the emperor didn't show much joy, and his tone became a little flat: "Very good, Zishun, you have a heart, go and sit." ”

Before King Shun returned to his seat, King Qing had already jumped out and said with a smile: "Father, the son also has a gift!" ”

The emperor didn't seem to be in a good mood, but he still said lightly: "Oh? What is it? ”

King Qing mysteriously took out a brocade box from his cuffs, and just took it out, a faint sandalwood fragrance filled the entire hall, and everyone took a few sips and immediately felt refreshed.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, took the sandalwood box handed over by the inner supervisor with some interest, and with two fingers, the sandalwood box was opened suddenly.

Then he saw nine pearls the size of a human eye, and the emperor's eyes circled around the pearls that formed a circle, and his fingers couldn't help but touch these pearls.

Everyone's eyes also moved with the emperor's fingers, and such a beautiful pearl seemed to be alive, tempting everyone's eyes, and it was firmly sucked away, and it could not be removed for a moment. Even King Shun couldn't help but look sideways, and Chu Shenxia's words flashed in his mind, and he immediately showed an expression of disgust and took his gaze back.

King Qing saw that the emperor was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Father, this is the Nanzhu I found from the South China Sea, the legend is that the merman fell in love with a mortal, and when the mortal died of illness, he burst into tears, and the heavens were moved by her and brought the mortal back to life." The merman's tears and mortal tears are combined to become like this. The more than 30,000 tears she shed are now only a few in front of her. ”

King Shun puffed his nose and couldn't help but snort coldly, he had never seen anyone brag about it to this extent, and even made up such a story.

The minister, who had already heard the rumor, couldn't help but jump out and say, "Nanzhu? Your Royal Highness King Qing, how did I hear that you have been looking for the Black Moon Pearl for so long, why did you become a South Pearl? ”

King Qing turned his head slightly, his supple gaze changed sharply on the minister, but his tone was still kind: "What Black Moon Pearl?" Do you believe the rumors on the rivers and lakes? Where in this world is there any black moon bead? I gave my father to Nanzhu, are you very concerned about my whereabouts? ”

The minister was originally taken aback by his fierce eyes, and then quickly changed his words: "How do I know the whereabouts of His Highness, it is hearsay, and now it seems that hearsay is really not credible and not credible." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and hurriedly sat down.

The emperor smiled, ignored their bickering, put the sandalwood box aside under the burning gaze of the foreign envoys, and said happily, "Ziqing, you finally didn't disappoint me once. ”

King Qing was rarely praised by the emperor like this, and a trace of pride flew on his eyebrows, and he said: "It is the honor of my son to be happy with my father." ”

"Peng!" A big thing fell into the hall with a huge sound, everyone was stunned, the emperor's face was even more ugly, this banquet was not only to celebrate his birthday, but also to show the strength of the Southern Song Dynasty in front of foreign countries.

The sudden accident made everyone present a little at a loss, and the rope that tied the bag suddenly loosened, and the bag seemed to be unable to bear the weight inside, and the whole staggered and fell down.
