Chapter 45: Qilin also knows that the four princes are wise
This unicorn is an ancient divine beast, and it is difficult for the world to see it, let alone catch it!
While everyone was amazed, they invited Daqin to praise his merits, only to praise the emperor's old son's dragon heart, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Since the unicorn was offered by the grandfather of the four princes, the four princes stepped forward to explain to the emperor and queen;
He also invited the alien who had trained the unicorn out and asked him to explain to everyone how he got this divine beast.
The stranger who captured the unicorn was a pair of master and apprentice, the master was already sixty or seventy years old, with long hair like snow, wrinkles on his face, and long beard, looking like a master of the world.
But if she wants to say that he is a capable person who captured the Qilin and let Zhao Qingxiang die again, she also doesn't believe it.
His apprentice was dressed in a white robe like him, forty or fifty years old, with a wide forehead and a square mouth; He was not tall, dark and thin, but his bones were very thick.
Seeing everyone, he was still a little shrunken, not as good as the master's aura.
Seeing Emperor Qinglong's inquiry, the white-bearded old man added oil and vinegar to tell the whole process.
Finally, he sighed: "Your Majesty! You say it's not strange that when the mountain people first grabbed it, it was desperately struggling and hunger strikes in protest! When it was dedicated to the Duke of Li, it was still resisting.
But when the Protector and the mountain people told it that they were going to sacrifice it to the Four Princes, the divine beast seemed to understand, and stayed there honestly, never resisting anymore, and there was a look of surprise in its eyes! ”
The apprentice next to him was busy flattering: "Who in this world doesn't know that the emperor is kind-hearted and the princes are benevolent and virtuous?" Dare to love this divine beast also knows the good name of the emperor and the prince, and as soon as he heard that he was going to accompany the prince, he immediately rejoiced! ”
In that case, this unicorn should be released to see if it is really willing to surrender at the feet of the four princes?
Zhao Xinyue snorted dissatisfiedly, but her dissatisfied voice was drowned out by the mountain cry of praise, and no one noticed her disdainful look.
Listening to the flattering words, Emperor Qinglong was even more pleased, and ordered to look at the two strangers.
Concubine Li played proudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that this divine beast will spit fire, why don't you ask Yiren to let the divine beast perform one, how about the fire-spitting stunt?" ”
"Yes, hahaha!" Emperor Qinglong was also curious.
After the white-bearded old man agreed, he looked at his apprentice.
The apprentice had no choice but to go to the edge of the big black iron cage where the unicorn was kept, and begged to make the unicorn spit fire.
But no matter how the apprentice pleaded, the Qilin lay there lazily, ignoring no one at all.
Seeing that Concubine Li was about to lose face this time, the apprentice had no choice but to come up with a trick: he used a dark iron rod to stab the unicorn in the abdomen a few times.
Enraged, the Kirin spat out a long string of flames at the aggressor.
If it weren't for the fast running of that apprentice, he would have been burned by the flames!
Almost at the same time, all the people exclaimed, "Good! Good! Good! ”
Only the crown prince worriedly played: "Father, the son feels that the divine beast is locked in a cage, and it is very pitiful, it is better to let it go!" ”
The queen on the side turned cold when she heard this, glanced at him fiercely, and then regained her dignified and kind face.
I saw Concubine Li smiling and persuading: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, no matter how precious this divine beast is, it is just a beast!" It's just a pet for people to play with, His Royal Highness the Prince's words are too kind! ”
The queen is dressed in a phoenix robe, wearing a phoenix wings on the golden crown, a pearl jade hairpin, and stepping on the dragon and phoenix auspicious gold line boots;
Concubine Li is wearing a peony ink hosta, wearing a gold thread inlaid with silver silk Wanfu Su satin gown, and stepping on auspicious Ruyi boots.
The two most honorable masters of the harem are always gorgeous and plain every time they appear, which is no surprise to everyone.
At this time, the fourth prince also agreed with the prince's words: "Brother the crown prince, I also see that it is pitiful, if only it could be left in the palace, so that it can walk freely without harming people and animals." ”
The crown prince glanced at the queen cautiously, and saw that she didn't react, so he continued to say to Emperor Qinglong: "Father, the fourth emperor brother is right, if only he could keep it in the palace." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, this is not possible!" The white-bearded old man hurriedly stopped it: "This unicorn is used to being wild, it is extremely difficult to capture, let alone obey, this must not be!" ”
"What's not to do?" The queen opened her mouth leisurely: "This unicorn is a divine beast, how can it be kept in a cage?" ”
Concubine Li hurriedly got up and bowed her head and said: "What the queen mother said is very true! I think of the Great Qin Dynasty, even a divine beast like a Qilin has been captured! Are you afraid that you won't be able to find someone to tame it? ”
When Emperor Qinglong heard this, he immediately ordered someone to post a yellow list to find strange people, as long as they can tame the unicorn, they will be rewarded.
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and the mountain shouted long live.
When Zhao Qingxiang and the others saw this posture, they had no choice but to kneel down again.
Emperor Qinglong was in a very good mood at this time, and once again ordered to reward the Duke of Protector and the aliens, and also rewarded the four princes with some gadgets.
Concubine Li and the four princes hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank them.
The emperor looked at the unicorn for a while, and then left the imperial garden first.
Zhao Qingxiang was afraid of being discovered, so he pulled Zhao Xinyue and left here with the crowd.
The next day, in the Liuyunfang where Zhao Xinyue lived, an uninvited guest came, who was Lin Luoshui, the favorite concubine of Emperor Qinglong.
This Lin Luoshui was originally an orphan girl that Emperor Qinglong met on his way out, and her appearance was very charming, and she was smart and clever.
Before returning to the palace, he was sent three holy decrees by Emperor Qinglong, and he made an exception and received them directly in the harem.
Who knew that she had only been in the palace for a year, and she gave birth to Lin'er and became Emperor Qinglong's favorite eighth prince.
You must know that before the Eighth Prince, Emperor Qinglong's harem has been in the harem for seven years, and there has not been another addition.
Lin Luo jellyfish is more expensive than children, and Emperor Qinglong is ready to break the routine again, intending to directly promote her to the second concubine.
This time also attracted a burst of criticism, but Emperor Qinglong ignored it.
But this Lin Luoshui looked down on the rank very lightly, and she personally begged Emperor Qinglong and said: The eighth prince is now young and frail, I'm afraid he can't afford it, and he has such a blessed mother?
She repeatedly begged Emperor Qinglong to take back her fate!
Emperor Qinglong couldn't help but sigh again at her virtuous and virtuous virtues. In the end, she was agreed, but she was promoted from a talented person to Zhaoyi, which was more pampered than before.
In fact, if it weren't for the queen who had been blocking it, Lin Luoshui would have pushed the holy will again and again, she would have been the head of the four concubines a long time ago.
She saw that Concubine Li presented a unicorn to Emperor Qinglong, and in order to please Emperor Qinglong, she went to Liuyunfang to choose a beauty for Emperor Qinglong.
But then again, it's not the first time she's done the matter of choosing a beauty for Emperor Qinglong.
