Chapter 79: Amazing Life Gift Begging for fruit
She is bound to get this jade pendant, but if this thing is her senior brother's, then she is embarrassed to take it for herself.
"Since this is already the king's, no one can control what the king wants."
In the face of others, Li Zeyi does not have such a good temper, even if the other party is the prince. His eyes were cold, with a slightly condescending posture, and he didn't take the prince in his eyes at all.
At this time, he really has a bit of a gentleman's temperament, and that kind of Lao Tzu's first posture in the world really opened Lin Zhuohua's eyes.
Holding back a smile in his heart, Lin Zhuohua still persuaded: "Senior brother, since this jade pendant is so special, you should take it back." β
Saying this, Lin Zhuohua's heart was also dripping with blood.
Li Zeyi looked sideways at the little girl, and saw that she obviously liked her jade pendant very much, but she had to endure the way she took it back, and she felt very cute in her heart.
"It's okay, they can't win."
Seeing him so confident, no matter how good Prince Rao's temper was, his face turned a little darker, and his good temper was just pretending.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lin Zhuohua no longer persuaded him.
The prince snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't believe that they were all young talents on their side, and they couldn't win against King Yi's side.
Although the brothers of the Lin family stood on the side of King Yi, they did not participate in this competition. After all, the prince is still their future brother-in-law on the face, and he still has to take care of it on the face.
Everyone took out the lottery heads, and the competition officially began.
The young talents on the prince's side may be good at writing, but this pitcher is far inferior to these gentlemen.
Soon the score was opened, and in three competitions, the prince's side only won once.
"I'll do it this time." Lin Zhuohua had long wanted to stand up, and she walked out immediately after this game.
"Then let's take it easy."
I don't know what kind of psychology it is, the prince pushed Lin Youran out.
Everyone is not very optimistic about Lin Youran, she has always been famous for her reputation as a talented woman in Kyoto. No one had ever seen her throw pots, and they didn't know how skilled she was.
Lin Youran showed a soft smile when he heard this, and said softly: "Since the prince can trust the courtier, the courtier will definitely not let the prince down." β
She naturally knows how to throw pots, and she plays very well. It's just that she rarely shows her hand in front of people, and today is a good opportunity.
Mama Dong said that it is necessary to let the prince see her different side appropriately, so as to attract the prince's attention more.
The two sisters of the Lin family faced each other, and many people were in the mood of watching a good show, and those who did not participate also came around.
Lin Zhuohua's gaze fell on Lin Youran, revealing a shallow smile: "Second sister is so confident, then I want to see your ability to throw pots." β
"My sister is definitely not as good as my sister, and I hope my sister can let my sister." Lin Youran smiled, saying modest words, but there was a confident light on her face, which made her little face even more attractive.
Lin Zhuohua's eyes flickered slightly, and he was thinking about it.
At the beginning of the competition, the skills of the two people were comparable. When they all finished throwing, they reached a tie, and no one won against anyone.
"The second sister is really hidden, this pot throwing skill is so good."
Lin Zhuohua was amazed in his heart, he didn't expect Lin Youran to throw the pot so powerfully. This is not quite in line with the delicate image, and Lin Youran in the previous life didn't seem to be able to throw pots.
"It's my sister who lets my sister, I'm afraid that my sister will be embarrassed." After Lin Youran said modestly, he retreated to the prince's side, and said a little apologetically: "Youran disappointed the prince and failed to win this competition." β
The prince looked at Lin Youran's eyes burning, she was really different from the past today, which gave him a sense of freshness. In the face of that seductive little face, he couldn't say a word of reproach.
"How can it be, it's already very good that you can tie with Zhuohua, everyone knows that Zhuohua's pitching skills are very powerful."
Lin Youran showed a surprised expression when he heard this: "It's good that the prince doesn't blame Youran." β
The interaction between the two did not avoid people at all, which made many young ladies of the family jealous of Lin Youran, and at the same time looked at Lin Zhuohua with a little mockery.
His fiancΓ© is so affectionate to his sister, isn't this a clear slap in the face?
Lin Zhuohua didn't seem to care, but he just caught a glimpse of the faces of several brothers who were not good, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
It seems that she doesn't have to go to great lengths to destroy the image of the prince, and her brothers are afraid that they don't look down on the prince anymore.
Indeed, Lin Jinjun, who knew the inside story, was even more annoyed, and sneered in his heart.
Now the prince doesn't even want to pretend to be, and he dares to do this in front of them.
In fact, the prince has not yet made preparations to completely tear his face with Lin Zhuohua, but Lin Youran is too amazing today, so he can't help but pay more attention.
In the next competition, the two teams were tied, and in the end, only the prince and King Yi remained.
A game between the two can be said to determine the outcome of the game, and everyone is also nervous.
The crown prince and King Yi, who will win in the end.
The prince has been personally taught by the emperor since he was a child, and it can be said that he can get the true inheritance of the emperor, and he is very good in civil and military affairs. And King Yi is the emperor's favorite prince, the top gentleman in Beijing, throwing pots is naturally simple for him, but his health has not been good since he was a child, and he has been cultivating most of the time.
The crown prince walked up to King Yi and smiled warmly: "Third brother, Lone won't let you." β
Li Zeyi sneered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is confident. β
After speaking, he didn't look at the prince, walked over and started throwing pots.
The prince's face turned cold, then he regained his warmth and followed him to throw the pot.
Soon the results of the two came out, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. King Yi actually defeated the crown prince, and he was caught off guard by this face.
The prince's face turned completely dark, and it took a long time to calm down the anger in his heart and restore his image as gentle as jade.
"I didn't expect the third brother to throw the pot so well, and he was willing to bow down."
"Since this king has won, then these things are all on our team."
Li Zeyi glanced at the prince indifferently, and then walked to the stone table. returned the things that their team had pressed by themselves, and then only took their own jade pendant and sent it to Lin Zhuohua.
"I'll give you this."
Lin Zhuohua was stunned for a moment, and then she shook her head: "I can't ask for this jade pendant." β
Li Zeyi forcibly stuffed it into her hand, and it was rare to be domineering once: "The things sent by this king will not come back, if you return it, then this king can only throw it away." β
It was rare for Lin Zhuohua to see him so strong, and in front of so many people, he could only accept it hard.
A gloomy look flashed in the prince's eyes, and the two of them didn't take him seriously at all. As his future crown princess, she actually accepted other men's jade pendants in front of him.
"Take the rest of the things you like."
Seeing Lin Zhuohua accept the jade pendant, Li Zeyi was in a happy mood. He couldn't look at these things on the table. He waved generously and let the participants choose for themselves.
As for Lin Zhuohua, she has already gotten the best, so she will naturally go to grab it with others.
The people on the prince's side are all dish-faced, and anyone can be happy to see their things taken away by others.
The pot throwing competition is over, and Xiaoyuan is about to open a seat. The group walked towards that side together, and then found their place and sat down.
The crown prince Tongyi has the highest status, so he is naturally the first to offer gifts. Everything was very valuable, and it was carefully carried away.
"I heard that the second lady embroidered a birthday picture for the old lady, because this is still tired and faint, what a filial granddaughter, I don't know if we have the eyes to see the birthday picture?"
The person who spoke was still the old lady Dong who was a little annoying before, and she had obvious watching the drama in her eyes, which was really annoying.
The old lady smiled generously when she heard this: "Ran, the girl is a filial child, since you all want to see it, let people move it up." β
Soon, the next person moved up a screen embroidered with a birthday picture, and the luxurious atmosphere showed that he had put his mind into it. The embroidery is even better, and the embroidery is lifelike.
"The second lady of the Gongfu is really versatile, and this embroiderer can't compare to the embroidery girl in the palace."
Some people are amazed, and some ladies who like embroidery are even more praised.
This screen added a lot of aura to Lin Youran, and many people looked at her very appreciatively at this time.
In the face of everyone's praise, Lin Youran's appearance of pampering and not being shocked won the favor of many people.
Lin Zhuohua was surprised by Lin Youran's change. She glanced at Mama Dong who was standing on the side with a serious face, this person was so powerful, she had changed a person so completely in just a few days, as if she had been reborn.
This person has to be guarded against.
"This county lord's gift must be very popular with the old lady, I don't know what gift your granddaughter has prepared?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at the screen and sighing, Mrs. Dong felt a little resentful in her heart, and suddenly spoke up again.
Hearing her words, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Zhuohua. If this gift is not as good as her sister, then she will be embarrassed as a sister.
When the old lady heard this, she smiled: "In the eyes of the old man, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, it is my granddaughter, and the gifts are not valuable, as long as they have their hearts, I will be happy." β
"Yes, this gift is all about the heart."
Most of the people who came to celebrate their birthday today were friends with the Lin family, and seeing that Mrs. Dong was always stirring up trouble, they naturally echoed the old lady's words.
Old Madam Dong snorted coldly when she heard this, and she only felt that Old Madam Lin was hypocritical in her heart.
Lin Zhuohua stepped forward with a smile, blinked his phoenix eyes and said, "Old Madam Dong seems to be very curious about Zhuohua's gift, since that's the case, let people bring it up." β
She gave Jade beside her a look, and Jade turned to go out, and for a moment came in with four guards carrying something covered in red cloth under the gaze of everyone.
The gift was placed in the middle of the banquet hall, and Lin Zhuohua walked over and lifted the red cloth under the curious eyes of everyone.
There is a one-person tall fortune tree, the trunk is made of golden silk nanmu worth a thousand gold, the branches are made of pure gold filigree, and the natural blood-red coral is decorated.
Natural blood-red coral is particularly precious, known as a rich and auspicious thing, symbolizing happiness and eternity.
This fortune tree is handmade, with lush branches and leaves, and it is lifelike, and it looks like it is from everyone's hands.
This gift can be said to be a hundred times more valuable than any gift, whether it is intentional or valuable, and it can be seen that this is definitely carefully prepared, so many natural blood red corals are difficult to get.
The old lady looked at the fiery red fortune tree, and her eyes were full of amazement. She got up from her seat and walked over to look at it carefully, looking like she couldn't put it down.
"This congratulatory gift is really very attentive, and Miss Lin is really filial to the old lady."
Many people were amazed by this fortune tree, and they were all kinds of envy of the old lady.
"I'm afraid I've been preparing this gift for a long time, right?" The old lady's eyes were full of love, and her heart was even more moved, I am afraid that this thing has taken a lot of thought.
Lin Zhuohua smiled sweetly when she heard this: "It's good if grandmother likes it, this congratulatory gift has been prepared since years ago." But this is only one of the gifts, Zhuohua has another gift. β
As she spoke, she took out a delicate sandalwood box from her sleeve pocket, and when she opened it, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted through the hall. Just smelling the fragrance of the medicine gives you a feeling of refreshment.
It was the first time they had seen such a magical pill, and they couldn't help but look at Lin Zhuohua curiously.
"This is a snow ginseng pill specially made by my granddaughter for my grandmother, which can help you regulate the heavy diseases in your body."
This is not a pill, but a qi cultivation pill refined by an old ghost. This elixir has a mild effect and is very suitable for the elderly.
"This ......" The old lady looked at the pill in her hand, and was speechless for a moment by the shock of her granddaughter.
How precious the pill is, the world knows.
The others looked at the pill with straight eyes. The three countries are combined, and there are not many people who can make pills, I'm afraid they can be counted on ten fingers.
As soon as this pill was shot, coupled with the fortune tree made of blood-red coral, it had already exploded the forest leisurely screen.
Lin Youran stood to the side and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Zhuohua. I can't help but feel a little jealous in my heart, and now the Sakura Country should be her in the spotlight.
Seeing her ugly face, Mama Dong sighed in her heart, Miss's concentration is still a little worse.
She reached out and pulled down Lin Youran's sleeve and shook her head at her.
Lin leisurely pursed his lips, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and returned to calmness on his face. It seems that Lin Zhuohua's congratulatory gift has no effect on her at all than her intentions.
This calmness surprised many people who wanted to watch a good show, and they were even more impressed by her.
"Okay, good, I'm very happy today. Zhuohua's gifts from the same girl have won my heart, and they are all filial children. β
Afraid that the old lady Dong would come out again to make a moth, the old lady smiled heartily, and then pulled the two granddaughters back to the place where she was sitting, and let people add two seats, one left and one right to accompany her.
This is to announce to outsiders that these two granddaughters have the same status in her heart.
Lin Youran sneered in her heart, but since her grandmother was willing to do this, she naturally would not debunk it, which was also a good thing for her.
With the gifts of these two people in front, the gifts of the others do not attract much attention.
When the banquet was opened, everyone was attracted by the delicious taste as they ate the fruits and vegetables on the table.
"The chefs of the Guogong Mansion are so superb, and this dish is simply delicious."
"And this fruit seems to be better than the outside."
Words like this kept ringing out, and finally someone couldn't help but ask.
"Old lady, I don't know where you bought your fruit here?"
Some of the ladies of the family who like to eat these fruits also pricked up their ears and listened, thinking that they must buy more after inquiring.
The corners of Lin Zhuohua's mouth curled slightly, and it seemed that it had already had an effect.
At this time, Mrs. Lin smiled slightly and looked at everyone: "This is a vegetable and fruit grown in a farm on the outskirts of Guogong Mansion, but it is still in the trial planting stage. I only got a few of them, and I used them to entertain you today. When the trial planting is successful, these vegetables and fruits will definitely be sold to the outside world. β
No one expected that this fruit was actually grown in the Guogong Mansion's own farm, and those who had some side ideas stopped thinking about it.
"If that's the case, you must sell us more when the time comes."
"Definitely, definitely." Mrs. Lin responded politely.
When the feast was over, everyone departed. The crown prince and King Yi did not leave, and Lin Laoguo asked when he saw this.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, does His Royal Highness King Yi still have something to say?"
Li Zeyi showed a slightly flattering smile and leaned over to the old man: "Master, I don't know if there are any fruits in the house?" If you can give me some, I want to bring it into the palace for my father and mother to taste. β
Li Zeyi has a good relationship with his successor, and this sentence is also very smooth. Especially the relationship between the little girl and the queen mother, it is natural to have a good relationship with the queen mother.
The crown prince stood to the side, his face slightly ugly.
Li Zeyi, a shameless guy, was one step ahead of him.
"Yes, if there is still something in the house, can you even some of us, and let the father and the queen taste it."
The prince smiled warmly and stepped forward.
Li Zeyi snorted coldly, looked at the prince and said without giving face: "If you want to talk to the master yourself." β
Lin Zhuohua watched from the side, sneering in his heart. The crown prince wants to curry favor with the emperor with the things of their country's mansion, so let's dream.
"If you want it, senior brother, there is still some left, and you can enter the palace for the emperor and the queen to taste."
Hearing Lin Zhuohua's words, Li Zeyi immediately showed a grateful smile: "Then I will thank the little junior sister." β
Lin Zhuohua smiled: "Senior brother gave me such a precious jade pendant, it's just a little fruit, what is there to thank." β
Seeing that the two of them didn't take him seriously at all, the prince suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly, "Can Zhuohua also give some to Gu?" β
Hearing this, Lin Zhuohua looked at the prince, shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "But the remaining fruit is only enough for the senior brother, and His Royal Highness the prince is a step late, and I can't do anything." β
The prince tightened his hand under the long sleeves, tried his best to suppress the annoyance in his heart, and said regretfully: "Alas, it seems that it is a lonely step late. β
Lin Zhuohua asked people to pack the fruit and then handed it to Suifeng.
After sending the crown prince and King Yi away, Lin Zhuohua returned to his courtyard.
After sitting for a while, he saw Hanyu come back and asked, "Can you be discovered?" β
"The master is relieved, he has not been discovered." Hanyu shook his head, so Mama Dong's martial arts naturally couldn't find him.
"Miss Lin Er left the Guogong Mansion, went to the Golden Embroidery Pavilion, and then left through the back door to a courtyard in the hidden alley. The subordinates were there and saw the prince's retinue. β
