Chapter 305: Missing the Distance

Qin Xuechu stopped talking to Mo Shuangsheng, she walked forward angrily, letting the people on both sides point at her, she looked up at Li Ci and Qin Yan on the gate of the palace, there was a little more cold in her eyes, and the discomfort of her clothes as usual was also a little less.

Li Ci saw that the team of the Dawu prince had arrived in front of the palace gate, so he immediately made a gesture to his father-in-law on the side.

"His Royal Highness Dawu came down to visit, there is a loss of welcome, if there is a lack of greeting, please also ask Haihan, open the palace doorβ€”β€”"

The father-in-law pinched his throat and shook the dust, and shouted an order to the soldiers at the city gate.

For a while, there were many palace beauties on the palace gate, they held flower baskets, sprinkled the petals in the basket from the palace gate, and the bands standing on both sides also played a welcome song here, and the palace gate became extremely lively.

The Great Martial Prince looked at the fluttering petals, smiled and said to Qin Xuechu on the side, "This ceremony is good, I like it a lot, but it's a little simpler." ”

Qin Xuechu was helpless for a while, if it was before, the welcome was strictly in accordance with the Ministry of Etiquette, but after the eldest prince Li Ci took over, he saved most of the complicated etiquette, and there were these meaningless showmanship, no wonder Mo Shuangsheng would be so sneering.

Zhou Zirui led the escort team and the carriage of the prince of Dawu to the palace, the people cheered, the children laughed and sang, as soon as there was a major event in the palace, it meant that they could rest for a day, and the major restaurants in the capital must also provide dinner for diners for free.

The convoy slowly walked to the front of the main hall of the palace, the eldest prince and the second prince waited on the tens of millions of steps, and under the stairs stood the ministers of the civil and military two rows. ”

The eldest prince Li Ci looked at Zhou Zirui condescendingly, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, good, you did a good job!" Reward! ”

After that, Li Ci waved his hand and motioned to the father-in-law on the side to bring the reward, and the father-in-law put the thing in Zhou Zirui's hand, Zhou Zirui only felt that his hand sank slightly, he looked up, but saw that there was actually a live big turtle on the tray, the turtle shrank in the shell in fear, and the two black eyes stared straight at Zhou Zirui.

Zhou Zirui couldn't help frowning, he worked hard to bring the prince back of Dawu, lost a lot of elite soldiers, and the reward he got back was actually just a turtle? Is this mocking him, or is it mocking the prince of Dawu?

Qin Xuechu looked at Zhou Zirui's straight and stubborn back, and felt aggrieved for him in his heart, this big prince was really too much.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

There was applause from the carriage, and everyone was attracted by this sound and looked towards the carriage of the Great Martial Prince.

Mo Shuangsheng in the carriage came out with a smile on her face, Qin Xue saw this for the first time, and immediately stepped forward to help Mo Shuangsheng down, and when Mo Shuangsheng stood still, she quietly lowered her head and stood aside, but her eyes secretly glanced at Mo Shuangsheng, not knowing what ghost he had in mind.

"It's good to send a turtle, the turtle has a long life, a docile temperament, and a down-to-earth nature." Mo Shuangsheng swaggered to Zhou Zirui's side, touched his chin with his hand, turned around Zhou Zirui's side twice, and reached out from time to time to touch the carapace of the turtle, and the turtle felt the movement and shrank its head closer.

That series of actions were very exaggerated and funny, everyone present locked their eyes on Mo Shuangsheng's body, and Zhou Zirui couldn't help but look up at him with some doubts, when discussing things yesterday, I had never seen him look so strange.

"I, I like turtles the most, Zhou Shizi, how about I exchange gold for your turtle?" Mo Shuangsheng directly picked up the turtle from the plate and played with it in his hand, which looked very funny.

"This ......" Zhou Zirui frowned and looked at the eldest prince Li Ci.

Li Ci also looked at Mo Shuangsheng with interest, not knowing which one he was singing, so he said out loud, "The prince of Dawu is a distinguished guest, if he likes turtles, he just needs to let his subordinates go to the pool in the imperial garden to catch a few, so why exchange it for gold?" ”

Mo Shuangsheng held the turtle in his arms, he raised his head, and said with a smile at Li Ci, "Your Highness, that's different, this is your reward to Zhou Shizi, you know, this turtle is as precious as the lives of dozens of soldiers, I exchange gold for these lives, but it is extremely worthwhile." ”

Zhou Zirui's heart swelled with a little emotion, this Dawu prince pretended to be crazy and stupid on the surface, but in fact, his heart was as bright as a mirror, the lives of these soldiers were only worth the turtles that could be caught at will in the Imperial Garden Lake in the eyes of the great prince, what an irony.

Qin Fan, who was standing beside the eldest prince, heard this, but he squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ci, this can be regarded as an ordinary appearance, he wants to see how this wooden stunned man ends.

When the Imperial Guards who were standing aside heard this, their hearts were sour, they didn't expect that they would be so desperate to guard the safety of the palace, in the end, this big prince didn't treat them as human beings at all, and they were not as important as a turtle.

The ministers also shook their heads again and again, they all sweated for the eldest prince Li Ci in their hearts, this joking sentence of the great martial prince, if it spread, it would definitely make the army's morale discouraged.

Li Ci is not a fool, he naturally understands the meaning of Dawu Huanzhi's words, he immediately said, "Hahaha, your guests are really good at laughing, this turtle is just a special reward for Zhou Shizi to have fun, and there is no reward." ”

After saying that, Li Ci said to his father-in-law beside him, "Put the rest of the rewards and give them to Zhou Shizi and the soldiers." ”

The father-in-law froze in place, where was there any reward, just took a turtle to play with, what else could there be.

"I'm still stunned! Go ahead! Seeing that his father-in-law was stunned, Li Ci immediately glared at his father-in-law and ordered fiercely.

The father-in-law felt bitter in his heart, all those gold, silver and jewels are in the treasury, and the rewards in the treasury are for the great prince's edict, and if there is no edict, where can they be taken out?

Mo Shuangsheng looked at this interesting scene, and the corners of his mouth quietly hooked up a trace of contempt, it was clear that he was not prepared, but he still had to hold on, it was really embarrassing for this father-in-law.

The father-in-law was so anxious that the sweat on his forehead came out, according to the nature of the eldest prince, if he didn't find an excuse to come, he would definitely be dragged and beheaded.

The corners of the second prince's mouth Qin Fan slowly rose up, he felt that this Dawu prince was very much in line with his heart, every heartless word could make Li Ci deflated, it was really pleasant, he admired this Dawu prince!

Qin Xuechu looked at this embarrassing scene, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, now all the soldiers should know what kind of master they are working for.

The father-in-law's eyes glanced around, he looked at the turtle in the hand of the prince of Dawu, and said to Li Ci, "Your Highness, the amount of this reward is too large, it is estimated that Zhou Shizi's team will not be able to take it, and after a while, the slave will directly send the reward to the general's mansion." ”
