The Five Elements Bead was hanging above the Queen Mother's head at this time, sucking in the purple qi on her body.

After sucking the queen mother's, the Five Elements Bead wanted to fly towards the emperor, but Xue Wu didn't let it, controlling it to the top of the concubine's head.

The lesson of the dragon chair before was still in front of her, how rich the purple qi on the emperor's body was, how dare she let the Five Elements Beads approach rashly?

Wuxingzhu jumped dissatisfied, but she still followed her wishes to suck the concubine.

Xue Wu happily picked up the wool.

The atmosphere of the banquet below has been completely lively, and the gift part has arrived.

It's not so much a gift, it's better to fight treasures, ministers and ministers fight, concubines and concubines fight, princes and princes fight, Xue Wu looked at the various treasures that were presented in turn, and her eyes were full of color.

At this time, the gift of the five princes was carried in by two chamberlains, and the five princes stepped forward to uncover the red silk on the gift, but saw that it was actually a delicate iceberg!

The flowers, birds, plants and pavilions on the iceberg are carved vividly and meticulously.

But no matter how well this ice sculpture is carved, it is just an ice sculpture, not to mention compared with the etiquette of the previous princes, even some ministers can't compare.

Ice is rare for ordinary people, but it is nothing for royalty.

So the second prince came out to speak: "Fifth brother, on the birthday of the emperor's grandmother, you will send such a thing?" Ice one, easy to melt, are you cursing the imperial grandmother in a different way? ”

As soon as the second prince's words came out, the queen mother's face pale.

The fifth prince didn't seem to notice, and said unhurriedly: "Second brother's words are wrong, what I gave to the emperor's grandmother is not this ice sculpture, but an inexhaustible source of ice!" Imperial grandmother, please take a look. ”

He presented a brocade box in both hands.

His words made everyone a little confused, and the queen mother motioned to Li Xingqing, the personal attendant beside her: "Xiao Qingzi, you go and bring the birthday gift of the fifth child, and the mourning family wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in this monkey gourd." ”

Li Xingqing took the brocade box from the hands of the five princes, and after opening it, he made sure that there was no danger, so he presented it to the Queen Mother.

In the box, there was only a thin piece of paper, and the Queen Mother picked it up and unfolded it and looked at it, with a surprised face.

The emperor leaned over, "What is written on this to make the queen mother look so fascinated?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at it and handed the paper over, "The emperor will also take a look." ”

Everyone at the bottom was confused and curious about what was on the paper.

The fifth prince stood in the hall, with just the right gentle smile on his face, and he couldn't see anything.

"Qian'er, is this recipe real?" The Emperor asked with some excitement.

The fifth prince saluted and said: "Erchen has asked someone to test it, and the recipe is indeed true, and the ice used in this ice sculpture is made using the method above." ”

"Hahaha, good, good, Qian'er's gift is really good." Emperor Longyan Dayue.

As a superior person, he could easily see the value of this prescription.

The Queen Mother next to her glanced at the emperor with disgust, "Emperor, this is a birthday gift from the fifth child to the mourning family, do you still want to snatch it from the mourning family?" ”

The emperor hurriedly handed Fang Zi over, "Look at what the queen mother said, how could I do such a thing." ”

Anyway, the Queen Mother won't hide it privately, so it doesn't matter who Fang Zi is.

The people below listened to the conversation between the three of them, but they didn't understand it very well, so what was written on that square? Listening to the words of the fifth prince just now, it seems that the ice used for the ice sculpture was made by himself?

Hey, can you still make your own ice?

Everyone made frequent eye contacts, and they became more and more scratching their hearts.

The only thing I know is that the gift given by the five princes pleased the two bigwigs at the same time.

It seems that in this birthday ceremony, in the end, the five princes won the first place.

Everyone looked at the five princes' eyes and changed faintly, but the second prince's face sank. didn't expect to belittle the old five, but it made him a big show.

To say that the only outsider who knew about the scene was Xue Wu, the fifth prince sent it, wasn't it the saltpeter ice making method she gave to the Ye family?

The Ye family is the outer family of the five princes, and they naturally stand on the side of the five princes, and the Ye family gave it to the five princes after getting the recipe, and the five princes presented it to the queen mother at the birthday banquet, in fact, it was dedicated to the emperor in disguise, so as to increase their political bargaining chips.

Xue Wu was not dissatisfied with this, after all, she had already given the recipe to the Ye family, and it was their freedom to deal with what the Ye family wanted, and she had no room for beaking.

However, in the future, she will have to pay attention to the scale of her dealings with the Ye family, so as not to accidentally get involved in the infighting of the royal family.

She just wants to earn some money and live a good life with her family, and she doesn't want to get involved in those political struggles, and she can't afford to get involved.

However, in many cases, the course of events does not depend on human will.

At this time, a sharp and long chant came from outside the hall: "The national teacher has arrived-"

Hey? There is still a national teacher in this Great Prayer Dynasty?

I don't know what the national teacher looks like?

In Xue Wu's expectant gaze, a middle-aged man about forty years old with a crown of jade stepped in calmly, dressed in white and snow, not stained with dust, and with a fairy spirit.

It's a beautiful uncle.

But that's not the point, the point is that this national teacher is also a monk! There is aura floating on his body, and his strength is probably in the middle stage of qi refining.

Xue Wu's worldview has been refreshed again.

At first, she thought that this was an ordinary ancient world with no special powers, but it wasn't until she saw the book "Talking about Qi Refining" that she knew that a long time ago, this was also a world where the civilization of cultivating immortals was prosperous and full of all kinds of mysterious and strange things.

It's just that with the decrease of aura, it slowly declined.

Nowadays, there is basically no aura in this world, and for monks, this is the era of the end of the law.

She can't cultivate at all without aura, and the reason why she can cultivate is because she has the Five Elements Bead and the memories of her previous life, which is a special case.

Others won't be as lucky as her, there is a five-element bead artifact that can transform purple qi into aura!

So she took it for granted that there were no more monks in this world, and she was ready to move forward on the path of cultivation alone.

But now she saw the national teacher, a cultivator!

Since there are national teachers, maybe there are other monks? It is impossible for a national teacher to cultivate out of thin air, right? He must have a teacher, maybe there is a sect or something.

Xue Wu felt that a new door had opened in her world, and she was inexplicably excited.

People always hope to be able to find the same kind of people, and when she first started cultivating, she fantasized about what the real immortal cultivation world looks like? What is the difference between the life of a monk and that of ordinary people? What if she met other monks?

But these are just fantasies.

Now, the appearance of the monk of the national teacher has let her know that there is still a side of this world that she doesn't know, and her fantasies may be realized.
