Chapter 60: The Toad

That's it, and it's back to the beginning.

Lin Yue sat upright, watching the banquet go on step by step, and it didn't take long for the gift to arrive.

Before coming, Lin Yue learned from Lin Shiqian that the Lin family's tribute this time was a rare treasure, which is why Lin Yue was so angry when she learned that Cao Wenxue had dropped her bag just now.

She didn't know exactly what it was.

But I heard that Lin Shiqian spent a lot of effort to get this thing, and after getting it, he kept it mysterious for fear that people would know.

Seeing the exquisite gift box being presented with his own eyes, Lin Shiqian's eyes unconsciously flashed with excitement.

I saw that the outermost layer of the gift box was a red gold pattern, and the intention of the giver could be seen from the appearance alone.

Lin Yue could see this, and the emperor naturally saw it, and his mood was even quicker for a while, and as soon as he raised his hand, his subordinates were about to open the treasure, but Lin Shiqian stopped him by raising his voice.

"Your Majesty, please allow Rong Min to open it for you personally."

His expression was slightly stunned, and the emperor had no opinion on this, and after his hearty response, Lin Shiqian strode forward.

He moved cautiously, as if he was afraid of damaging the contents of it.

The expressions of the guests couldn't help but stagnate, and their eyes fell on the red gift box, full of inquiry and curiosity.

Can......

After Lin Shiqian opened it, he saw that there was only a chill emitting from it, and the white mist was so thick that he couldn't see what was inside for a while.

Her heart suddenly emptied, and Lin Yue was a little caught off guard by the current situation.

She was sure that she had exchanged the gift, but what had happened made her suspicious.

The hesitant gaze fell on Cao Wenxue's face, and Lin Yue couldn't help but wonder if this was another move by Cao Wenxue.

Before she could think more in her heart, she saw that Lin Shiqian did not have the slightest surprise on her face.

He groped through the cold with his bare hands, and a black box was held out by him.

With his eyes like a torch, Lin Shiqian slowly explained in a tense atmosphere, "Back to the emperor, this is a treasure that the people got from the snow mountain by chance, called Heiyuzhi, which is a century-old wild Ganoderma lucidum. ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of gasps immediately erupted on the field.

Not to mention that Ganoderma lucidum itself is a good thing, this is still a century-old Ganoderma lucidum in Lin Shiqian's hand, which makes everyone how can they not blush.

Even Cao Zhennan saw the rumored hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum for the first time, and a pair of shrewd old eyes were glowing with jealousy at this time.

His expression hesitated for a while, and the emperor still seemed to be a little incredulous, and even his originally hoarse voice became intermittent for a while.

"You say, "This is the ...... Picked up on the snowy mountains? ”

His eyes widened unconsciously, and the emperor's words were like an initiation, which made everyone fall into shock again.

Their hearts just now were all on the gimmick of the hundred-year-old Lingzhi, but they forgot what Lin Shiqian said at the beginning.

Snow...... That's no ordinary mountain.

The original name of the snow-capped mountain was not called this, until it was suddenly covered with ice and snow all year round, and the name was changed.

It's just strange that the snow is always covered with only the top of the mountain, and the rest of the place is still verdant and evergreen, which makes many dignitaries in the capital very interested.

Because of this, the name of the snow-capped mountain came out in this way.

At the moment, this Lingzhi is actually picked from the snow-capped mountains, and this heavy aura is even more expensive than gold.

The emperor reacted and couldn't help laughing, "The master of the Lin family has a heart, I like this gift of yours very much, and as a tribute, I will reward you with a holy decree!" In other days, if you need my help in anything, as long as it does not harm the interests of our country, your words will be equivalent to my words! ”

A lot of heroic remarks were piled up, which shocked many people on the field.

Divine Decree ......

Anything but without harming the interests of the country?

Tsk, the emperor is indeed very happy this time, otherwise he would not have repaid it.

That also means that the identity of the Lin family will be changed because of this, and they can no longer be viewed as businessmen.

"This ...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

In the complicated eyes of everyone, Lin Shiqian hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in response.

And this move has also attracted the resentment of many people, in their eyes, all this is the Lin family's means to curry favor with the royal family, including Lin Yue to curry favor with the eldest princess.

As everyone knows, Lin Shiqian and the emperor secretly are actually friends who have a good relationship.

When it was so hard for the emperor to succeed to the throne, it was Lin Shiqian who reached a cooperation with him, and the two of them had today's achievements.

And after such a cooperation, the two have become like-minded friends.

For these, Lin Yue still heard what Bixin told her, but she was still a little surprised by Lin Shiqian's generosity.

With the Lin family's treasure, the banquet, which had been depressed, once again reached a climax.

Soon it was the turn of the Cao family to offer treasures, and Lin Yue couldn't help but sit upright, and her eyes fell on the main hall smoothly.

The subordinate slowly walked up with the burden, and the heavy box weighed down several people who couldn't help but breathe more aggravated all the way.

Carefully putting the box down on the ground, Cao Zhennan's expression couldn't help but improve slightly.

Although the things he prepared were not different from Lin Shiqian's, but speaking of which, it was also a rare treasure, coupled with his clever words, he would definitely be able to win the emperor's satisfaction!

Thinking like this, Cao Zhennan's depressed mood was a little lighter.

With a big hand, the next person immediately opened the box, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on it.

I secretly guessed in my heart.

No matter what the Cao family says, he is also an important minister of the imperial court, and it is naturally not an ordinary commodity when he takes out his hand.

Just when everyone was thinking about this, the box had been completely opened, and all they could do was listen to "Quack! With a bang, the ugly-looking toad jumped out of the box.

One, two......

I don't know what's going on, but there are witty toads jumping out of it one after another.

It seemed that they had finally gained the light, and the toads were croaking noisily while jumping, and they were still jumping everywhere in the banquet hall.

There were quite a few timid young ladies in the capital who immediately raised their voices in fright and screamed.

Li Shu's face was even more pale, her body shook, and she almost fell to the ground and turned her head.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Cao Zhennan's complexion changed instantly, and his eyes were even more terrifying at this time.

But despite this, she couldn't hide the panic in her voice at all.

The treasures in the box are still there, but these toads don't know where they came from, not only do they look ugly, but they also destroy the atmosphere of the entire banquet in an instant.
