Chapter 410: Prince Ximin's Provocation (1)

The West Min State borders the two countries of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and the border area has not been peaceful for many years, but now the Western Min Kingdom suddenly sues for peace, for the prosperity of the country and the tranquility of the border people, the Southern Zhao Kingdom has no reason to disagree.

The prince of the Western Min Kingdom and the envoys came to the Southern Zhao Kingdom to sign an edict of peace to show their sincerity, but who would have thought that the prince of the Western Min Kingdom was rampant and arrogant, and he wanted to make things difficult for the Southern Zhao Kingdom, so on top of the feast, he deliberately gave Emperor Jing'an a problem.

"Your Majesty, before this prince came to your country, I heard that Your Majesty favored the concubine Niangniang, and the prince specially prepared a generous gift for the concubine Niangniang, and asked Your Majesty and the concubine Niangniang to laugh." Prince Simin chuckled.

"Prince Ximin is polite." Emperor Jing'an was in a good mood.

Xue Guifei sat next to Emperor Jing'an and said with a smile: "If you want to come to Prince Ximin, it must be a great gift, and the palace has thanked Prince Ximin." ”

"You don't have to be polite." A sneer hooked the corner of Prince Ximin's mouth, and then he waved at the person behind him.

Everyone was curious, and saw four strong men carrying an iron cage covered by a black cloth up to the main hall, and then carefully put the iron cage on the ground.

"What is this?" Xue Guifei looked at the iron cage covered by the black cloth with a surprised expression, then looked at Prince Ximin, and smiled: "It seems that it is really a big gift." ”

"It's a mystery." Nangong Qi pouted and whispered.

"Prince Ximin has a heart, and I am very happy, which shows the sincerity of Ximin Kingdom to seek peace." Jing'an Emperor Road.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my father's desire for peace is naturally sincere. This great gift was specially prepared by the prince for your country. Prince Ximin said.

"Oh? It turned out to be prepared by the prince, but what is it? Lift the black cloth and let everyone see. "Emperor Jing'an said.

"Yes." The corners of Prince Ximin's mouth hooked a sneer, and Emperor Chongjing nodded slightly.

"This iron cage is very big, it must be a big treasure inside." Yao Feiyan looked at Nangong Qi with a gossipy face.

"I don't know, this king is also curious about what will be under the black cloth." Nangong Qi shrugged.

"Fifth brother, this Prince Ximin is really interesting, no one has ever given such a big gift, and I don't know what will be under the black cloth." Nangong Shuo chuckled disappreciatively.

"What the sixth brother said is very true, and this king is also very curious." Nangong Hao nodded slightly.

Yan Qingyu stood aside, hearing everyone's discussions, and couldn't help but look at the iron cage covered by the black cloth.

Who knows, as soon as several strong men tore off the black cloth on the iron cage, everyone in the main hall screamed, and some timid palace maids and the ladies of the emperor's relatives all took a few steps back with disgraced faces.

"Ah......" Xue Guifei suddenly threw herself into Emperor Jing'an's arms and said in horror: "Snake...... Your Majesty, the concubine is afraid of snakes......"

"Prince Ximin, you are so bold, what do you mean!" Emperor Jing'an's face changed suddenly, he looked at Prince Ximin with angry eyes, and asked sharply.

"Prince Ximin, you are crazy, you dare to give us a python as a gift to Nanzhao Kingdom, do you think that our Nanzhao Kingdom is easy to bully! If you don't want to make peace, please go back to your Ximin Kingdom immediately! Nangong Shuo stood up and glared angrily at Prince Ximin.

"Prince Ximin, is this the sincerity of your Ximin Kingdom's request for peace! It's a bit ridiculous! Nangong Hao couldn't help but stand up and asked Prince Ximin sharply.

Prince Ximin still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his face was unflustered, and he said respectfully to Emperor Jing'an: "Your Majesty is angry, this matter has nothing to do with my father, this is a part of the prince's heart, what this prince gave was not this python, but the pearl necklace placed on the side of the python's mouth." ”

Emperor Jing'an frowned slightly, looked in the direction pointed by Prince Ximin, and really saw a necklace made of huge pearls on the side of the python's mouth.

I only heard Prince Ximin continue: "Your Majesty, this is the only snow jade pearl in the world, made of one hundred and eight pearls, each pearl is huge, crystal clear, there is no second string in the world. ”

Hearing the sound, everyone couldn't help but stare at the string of pearls with big eyes, and even Xue Guifei couldn't help but look boldly.

"It's so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen such a big pearl." Yao Feiyan said in surprise.

"It's really rare." Nangong Hui said.

"The princess is okay, right? If you are afraid of pythons, let Apricot accompany you to the Imperial Garden, it will not be noticeable. Nangong Hao looked at An Wanqing with a concerned face and said softly.

An Wanqing hurriedly shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, Biyu is fine." ”

"Miss, aren't you afraid? Why don't we go to the Imperial Garden? Xing'er behind her was frightened and said in fear.

"The cage is closed well, don't worry, it won't escape." An Wan Qingdao.

Emperor Jing'an frowned and looked at Prince Ximin, his face softened a little, and he asked in a cold voice: "Since Prince Ximin wants to give the unique snow jade pearl in this world to the concubine, why did he put it together with this giant python." ”

"Presumably, someone with the courage of Nanzhao Kingdom can take this snow jade pearl necklace out of the iron cage and present it to the concubine Niangniang without harming this python. If someone who has no courage in Nanzhao can take this snow jade pearl necklace out of the iron cage, then the prince will have no choice but to bring this necklace back to his homeland. Prince Ximin said unhurriedly.

"Prince Ximin, you are so bold, this is a man-eating python, who can take the necklace from its mouth, you are obviously deliberately provoking our Nanzhao Kingdom!" Nangong Shuo gritted his teeth and said.

"If your country can't do it, then the prince will have to take back this heavy gift." Prince Ximin's face was arrogant and proud, and he said unhurriedly: "You know, this is a unique snow jade pearl, each crystal clear, and this prince is reluctant to give it away." ”

Everyone glared at the arrogant and rude Prince Ximin with an angry face, naturally knowing that he was deliberately provoking Nan Zhaoguo.

"If you don't kill this python, how to take the necklace from its mouth, it's simply impossible!" Nangong Shuo snorted coldly.

"What the sixth brother said is right, this is the tiger's mouth plucking, and he died in vain!" Nangong Qi pouted.

Emperor Jing'an's fists clenched slightly, he naturally knew that Prince Ximin must have calculated that they Nanzhao Kingdom could not do it, so he had the courage to provoke, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only challenge this problem head-on.

"Since Prince Ximin has given such a big gift, I naturally can't return it to Prince Ximin, this generous gift, I have to decide." Emperor Jing'an's pupils were deep, and he said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine likes this string of pearls very much, you must find a way to accept this gift from Prince Ximin." Xue Guifei said.

"Concubine Ai, rest assured, as long as it is something that Concubine Ai likes, I will definitely get it for Concubine Ai." Emperor Jing'an said seriously.
