Chapter 25: The Marriage Contract
With that, he drank all the wine in his hand.
The people under the seat all raised the wine glasses in their hands and saluted Xiao Chenyu in vain, their wine glasses had not been put down, Xiao Chenyu said lightly: "Everyone knows that this palace and this Miss Yan had a marriage contract when they were young, I don't know what Lord Yan Gu thinks about this matter." ”
Naturally, others know about this marriage contract.
The Medicine King Valley is very prestigious in Xiao Kingdom, although it has not been as good as before in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that it is still a medicine King Valley that has been passed down for a hundred years.
In addition, most of the young people who go out of the valley are doing good deeds and accumulating virtues and providing free free medical treatment, so Yaowang Valley is also a holy place in the hearts of the people.
At that time, the valley lord Yan Song took his daughter to the imperial city to offer elixir to the current saint, and in order to win people's hearts, the saint pointed out Yan Rou to the prince on the spot.
At that time, Yan Song didn't have any opinions on this family business, but now, Yan Rou's identity is not what it used to be, and Yan Song naturally wants to consider it again.
When Yan Song heard this, he laughed heartily.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, if the marriage contract when she was a child was really counted, it would be a blessing that the little girl had cultivated in her previous life, but this was just a joke from the saint back then, Yan Song never dared to take it seriously, for fear of climbing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and being criticized by others."
Yan Song's response seemed sincere, but in fact, everyone here knew what he was thinking.
"Since the valley lord has said so, it seems inappropriate for this palace to forcibly make the marriage contract counted. At this point, it's better for you to get straight to the point, which is better or worse... It will be left to Lord Yan Gu to judge for himself. Third brother, what do you think? ”
Xiao Chenyu was still smiling, but his gaze at Xiao Zhihan was as cold as ice.
He knew very well in his heart that his good brother did not bring any congratulatory gifts today.
Since he was a child, Xiao Zhihan has been a thorn in his eye.
He is the crown prince who was named the prince at birth, and he is a plague god that everyone hates and fears, what qualifications does he have to be the royal family, and what qualifications do he have to be brothers with him.
So insulting Xiao Zhihan has always been one of his pleasures.
Because he knows what a terrible brother he is rumored by outsiders, he will never resist!
And Xiao Zhihan, who was suddenly named, was slowly retracting his gaze from a little maid.
Something was not quite right with the little maid beside Prince Half Moon.
Most of the half-moon people are tall, and even the women are mostly tiger-backed, and the half-moon prince is already a rare slender figure.
But this maid is clearly the size of Xiao Guoren.
Xiao Zhihan's brows have been slightly furrowed, and this back looks very familiar.
It's just that now that he was suddenly clicked by Xiao Chenyu, he shouldn't be inappropriate, frowned slightly, and then replied:
"What Brother Wang said is extremely true."
Oh, sure enough.
"In this case, what is the third brother still hiding, why don't you take out your congratulatory gift quickly, so that the valley master can make a choice."
Gift?
Hearing this, Xiao Zhihan glanced at the prince who was looking at him with a smile, and the flying shadow behind him had already stepped forward in a small step, Xiao Zhihan raised his hand and gently stopped it, and the flying shadow hesitated for a moment before retreating.
Xiao Zhihan didn't bring a congratulatory gift, but this banquet didn't mean much to him.
If the prince wants to see him make a fool of himself, then he will do it.
What's more, Xiao Zhihan was about to take a look at the little maid's face, and when he got up, his gaze immediately swept over, and the little maid seemed to notice his gaze, turned her head slightly and smiled at him slyly.
Although his face was gloomy, his eyes were sparkling and beautiful.
Who else could this person be?
With just one glance, Xiao Zhihan's gaze had been retracted, and he took out a piece of jade pendant in his arms, and said to Yan Song: "This jade pendant, this king has been carrying it with him since he was a child, and it can be described as a priceless treasure for this king." ”
A piece of jade pendant?
Someone in the seat immediately blocked his face that was red from laughter by drinking, a piece of jade pendant, and he was embarrassed to take it out?
Yan Song's face changed slightly, but in the blink of an eye, he changed to a smile on his face.
Xiao Chenyu looked coldly at Xiao Zhihan standing in the hall, the ridicule in his eyes became more and more intense, and the words he said became more and more ruthless:
"The third brother came with a piece of jade pendant, but it is better not to come. Presumably, the third brother came uninvited again this time, not everyone can come on this occasion. Oh, too, I'm afraid there are very few such delicacies in the Ming Palace, if the third brother wants to eat, the next time he informs the palace, why use this way? ”
After saying this, Xiao Chenyu seemed to have thought of something extremely funny, and sat on his chair and laughed non-stop.
Except for him, everyone was silent at the moment.
Such a ruthless sentence instantly trampled the identity of King Ming under his feet, and they all waited to see how King Ming would respond, after all, according to folk legend, King Ming had a cold temperament and never made friends with people, so it must be difficult to provoke.
It's just that to everyone's surprise, Xiao Zhihan didn't say a word, didn't even look at the prince, and went straight back to his seat.
Although he didn't want to care about it, but in the eyes of others, King Ming didn't dare to care.
Seeing this situation, even Yan Xi, who was pretending to be the maid of the half-moon prince, was a little uneasy.
Xiao Zhihan: What does this mean?
Is this still the same Xiao Zhihan who spared no effort to reply to her?
If last time he didn't care about it, what about this time? He allowed that prince to be so degrading and insulting.
Yan Xi hated iron and glared at Xiao Zhihan.
But over there, like a nobody, poured himself a glass of wine, ignoring everyone's surprised gaze.
Seeing that there was an embarrassing atmosphere in this hall, Yan Song hurriedly stood up and made a round: "King Ming's jade pendant has been worn since he was a child, and he never leaves his body, such a precious thing, His Royal Highness King Ming is willing to give it to Yan, and Yan can't stand it." ”
Yan Song's face still had a smile on his face, but if someone observed carefully, they could see the displeasure in his eyes.
As soon as Yan Song's words fell, a lazy voice immediately sounded in the hall.
"Why should the valley master say more, it's better to save some time and look at the things brought by this palace."
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the prince of the Half Moon Kingdom was lazily sitting on the chair, opening his mouth with a displeased face.
Then, without waiting for Yan Song to speak, he beckoned to Yan Xi behind him.
When Yan Xi saw this gesture, he immediately walked to the center of the banquet hall with the brocade box in his hand.
When she stood still, everyone's eyes were focused on the brocade box in her hand.
There was only one gaze, which made her look like a man's back, and she didn't need to look at it to know that it must be Xiao Zhihan.
Xu is eyes were too much expectant, and Prince Half Moon didn't want to sell Guanzi, so he clapped his hands gently.
The brocade box opened, and on top of the red flannel, there was a medicinal herb.
The whole body is red, similar to ginseng, but compared to ginseng, there are a few more long whiskers.
Immediately, there were sharp-eyed people in the audience who exclaimed: "Yin and Yang Wanhua Ginseng!" ”
As soon as these words came out, several anxious people had already stood up and looked towards the brocade box.
Prince Zhaoguo, who was closer to Prince Half Moon, saw it most clearly, and he reached out and stabbed the little marquis of Languo, who was full of shock beside him.
"What's so strange about this herb?"
"It's not unusual, it's just that this plant is red all over, I'm afraid it's a thousand years old."
"What if you have a millennium?"
The little marquis of Languo glanced at the prince of Zhaoguo with eyes that he had never seen the world, and then continued:
"This medicine is extremely difficult to survive, and it is rare to see a hundred years of years, not to mention a thousand years, with a thousand years of years, yin and yang are dualized, and the flesh and bones of the living dead can be lived."
The prince of Zhaoguo suddenly let out a long sigh of enlightenment.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, he silently put the brocade box on the table under the table.
Yan Song was also a little shocked in his heart, as the valley master of the Medicine King Valley, he naturally understood how rare this thousand-year-old Yin Yang Wanhua Ginseng was, and what he didn't expect was that this half-moon prince was willing to take out such a precious thing, just to ask to marry his daughter.
Even he was a little excited at the moment.
Hurriedly beckoned to Yan Xi: "Take it closer." ”
Hearing this, Yan Xi took a few steps forward.
Yan Songgui is the lord of a valley, so naturally he can't be too excited.
He was still sitting in his place, but after Yan Xi stepped forward, he stretched his neck and took a serious look.
Sure enough, it is a thousand-year-old yin and yang ginseng.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this is the battle of a strong country, this yin and yang Wanhua ginseng came out, and the princes who were still gearing up to give their gifts before are now silent.
Scold.
A chuckle sounded in the audience, which was particularly harsh at the moment.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, Xiao Chenyu was leaning back on his seat, glanced at the Yin and Yang Wanhua Ginseng in Yan Xi's hand lightly, and then spoke:
"It's just a thousand-year-old herb, so you shouldn't make such a fuss."
Hearing this, Prince Banyue's face changed, his eyes fixed on Xiao Chenyu's face like a torch, and he said word by word: "The herbs in this palace can no longer enter the eyes of Prince Xiao Guo, and they are stronger than the worthless jade pendant." ”
In the eyes of Prince Half Moon, there is no distinction between Prince Ming, he only knows that these two are the royal family of Xiao Guo, and no matter who embarrass them, they are stepping on Xiao Guo's face.
Xiao Chenyu raised his head and laughed loudly when he heard this, Xiao Zhihan's life and death had nothing to do with him, and it didn't matter to him if Prince Half Moon said this.
It's just that today he must extinguish the majesty of the half-moon prince, Xiao Chenyu picked up the wine glass in his hand, and a cool voice sounded in the hall:
"Millennial herbs? Oh, I'm afraid that Prince Half Moon knows very well in his heart whether this herb has a thousand years. ”
The Half Moon Prince's eyes were dark, but he asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Xiao Chenyu didn't look at him either: "What does this palace mean?" I would like to ask you, what is the purpose of using a hundred years to pretend to be a thousand years? ”
The prince of Banyue chuckled as if he was relieved when he heard this: "Prince Xiao Guo is afraid that he is joking, everyone knows that the body of the Yin and Yang Wanhua ginseng is white for a hundred years, but this plant taken by the palace is clearly red all over the body, how can it be said that it is a hundred years old." ”
