Chapter 139: The Treasure of the Southern Wei Kingdom
There was a flash of lightning in his mind, and Luo Qingluan reacted instantly.
I'm afraid that this third congratulatory gift from Xiao Yuqi, these three big stones that are not good-looking, are the ore for forging the water knife!
The eyes of everyone in the palace were staring at Xiao Yuqi, and Luo Qingluan was no exception, but soon the doubts in his heart were answered, and he continued: "These three pieces are the unique ores of my Dongwan Kingdom, as long as they are refined, supplemented by the craftsmanship of a skilled craftsman, you can get a sharp blade treasure knife that blows hair and breaks hair." Although it is not as good as the water breaker, it is also one of the best. If His Majesty's personal guards could be equipped with such weapons, the effect could be imagined. ”
"Seriously!" Emperor Xichu was overjoyed to hear it.
Can you actually refine ore comparable to a waterbreaker weapon? That's definitely a baby!
The first thought that flashed through Emperor Xichu's heart was that it was a pity that there were too few of this ore, otherwise, if it could be mined in large quantities and all refined into sharp mist, the combat effectiveness of the entire Western Chu army would definitely be more than doubled.
It's a pity that this kind of ore is only available in Dongwan Kingdom, which is one of the reasons why the Dongwan Kingdom army is famous. With such a precious treasure, Dongwan Kingdom can send some congratulatory gifts, which not only saves face, but also does not form an opponent for himself, and also shows the reason why his power is the first, which makes the other three countries envious but can't ask for it.
During the banquet, looking at the thoughtful look in Luo Qingluan's eyes, Nalan Ye quickly explained the reason to her.
"No wonder this is the case, this Dongwan Kingdom is really cunning enough." Luo Qingluan understood as soon as he heard it. This Dongwan Kingdom took out a congratulatory gift that made the Western Chu Emperor unshirkable, but in fact, he did not lose anything, for the Dongwan Kingdom it was just three ores, but for the Western Chu Kingdom, it was a batch of rare and superb weapons. It's just that there are not many of them, and they can only equip one escort team, and they won't pose a threat to Dongwan at all.
Emperor Xichu was very satisfied with the congratulatory gift sent by Xiao Yuqi, and expressed his gratitude again, and the latter sat down with Xiao Ningyu at the banquet, waiting for the second congratulatory gift.
After the two of them sat down, the eunuch's voice soon sounded again: "Lin Xiaochen, the second prince of the Southern Wei Kingdom, and Bai Yixuan, the princess of Duanrou, congratulate Your Majesty on your long life and happiness like the East China Sea." ”
With the shock of the congratulatory gift brought by Xiao Yuqi before, all the Western Chu courtiers were curious about what the congratulatory gift from the Southern Wei Kingdom was this time.
Outside the palace gate, Lin Xiaochen, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and Bai Yixuan, who was dressed in purple-clothed palaces, walked up, Luo Qingluan immediately felt that there seemed to be a gaze sweeping over, she turned her eyes and looked, and she didn't notice that Lin Xiaochen and Bai Yixuan were looking at her. The two said a word of congratulations to Emperor Xichu, and then prepared to send a congratulatory gift.
Except for Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye, no one expected that at this time, there would be other people appearing.
Just as Lin Xiaochen was about to display the congratulatory gift, Nangong Qing, who was sitting in the banquet, suddenly stood up and said respectfully to Emperor Xichu: "Father, my son has something important to do. ”
"What?" Although I don't understand why Nangong Qing interrupted the birthday ceremony of the Southern Wei Kingdom, Emperor Xichu has always loved this son the most, although he frowned, he still didn't get angry, but asked patiently.
"In fact, there is another person in the Southern Wei Kingdom who congratulates his father on his birthday today, and he did not walk with the envoys of the Southern Wei Kingdom, but came to the capital first. Since today is my father's birthday, the man also prepared a congratulatory gift for my father, hoping that my father likes it. ”
"What, there is also an envoy of the Southern Wei Kingdom?" Not only was Emperor Xichu surprised, but the ministers were surprised, and the most shocked were naturally Lin Xiaochen and Bai Yixuan. The faces of the two changed, and they seemed to have understood who Nangong Qing was talking about, and they glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces became a little uncomfortable.
No one thought that there would be an episode at this time, Bai Yixuan couldn't believe it, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "Prince Nangong, who are you talking about as the envoy of the Southern Wei Kingdom?" My father sent me and my second emperor brother to Western Chu, but there was no one else, could it be that other envoys from the Southern Wei Kingdom also came? ”
Nangong Qing looked like he didn't know anything, and said with a light smile: "The princess will know soon, you will definitely be happy to see this person." ”
After speaking, he knelt down to Emperor Xichu and asked: "Please father and emperor announce this person to the palace to celebrate his birthday." ”
In such a situation, everyone can see that something is wrong, but Nangong Qing is the prince after all, he has opened his mouth, and no one can say anything. Emperor Xichu paused, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the envoys of Xuannan Wei State will go to the palace to congratulate him on his birthday." ”
The eunuch who was waiting beside him immediately raised his voice: "Xuan-the envoys of the Southern Wei State go to the palace." ”
Everyone's eyes looked outside the hall door, Lin Xiaochen was the first to turn his head, when he saw clearly that the person who came in was indeed Lin Yixuan, that personable, gentle and elegant bearing, strode into the hall, where did he look half injured? His pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart jumped.
Lin Yixuan, sure enough, didn't die!
Bai Yixuan's pink face was instantly covered with a layer of white, her eyes were cold, she watched Lin Yixuan congratulate Emperor Xichu on his birthday in the main hall, saying why she came alone, I heard that Emperor Xichu liked the works of the great calligrapher Han Songzi who died five hundred years ago, and specially went to find a pair of authentic works to offer, as his personal congratulatory gift to Emperor Xichu, she was almost cold.
didn't even look at Bai Yixuan, Lin Yixuan was indifferent, took out the congratulatory gift that had been prepared a long time ago, and said that he heard that the scenery of Western Chu was beautiful, and he didn't yearn for it, so he deliberately concealed his whereabouts, and he traveled in Western Chu for more than half a month, and this will appear, so that Emperor Xichu should not blame him for his willful and reckless behavior.
"Hehe, it turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also one of the envoys, and he is really an elegant person who likes the scenery and landscapes of my Xichu, how can I blame him? Come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take a seat. Emperor Xichu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Yixuan smiled, did not speak to Lin Xiaochen, and was already sitting in the position of the Southern Wei Kingdom.
It's not like this, it's not like this! Bai Yixuan shouted silently in her heart.
Lin Yixuan is not yearning for the scenery of Xichu, he simply escaped death, it was easy to get out, take this opportunity to recover his identity, he is so cunning! In front of the ministers of Manxi Chu, Bai Yixuan couldn't say a word, he couldn't even show his face, his head hung slightly, his fingers hidden under the wide sleeves were already clenched tightly, and his nails sank into the flesh.
She stabbed Lin Yixuan in the chest with her own hands, he was actually not dead yet!
Today he came to take revenge, and in front of so many people, he appeared openly, so that she and Lin Xiaochen had nothing to say, and they couldn't refute it yet. After all, nominally Lin Yixuan is the crown prince of the Southern Wei Kingdom, and in terms of identity, he is much more important than the second prince Lin Xiaochen and her, the princess. Lin Yixuan's appearance on this important occasion is self-evident.
I'm afraid that the infighting between them has turned from dark to light, and they can no longer hide it.
Love and hate were intertwined in her eyes, Bai Yixuan glanced at Lin Yixuan quickly, but she didn't get his eyes, this silent disregard made her jealous and hateful a hundred times more than hatred, and the trace of unbearability for Lin Yixuan in her heart disappeared without a trace.
Since she can't get him, let's destroy it completely!
She and Lin Yixuan must be endless.
Soon, Bai Yixuan returned to her normal color, glanced at Lin Xiaochen, who was still a little unnatural, with a smile, and whispered to remind him to continue the congratulatory gift.
"Hehe, the Southern Wei Kingdom really surprised me, I didn't expect the crown prince and the second prince princess to send me congratulatory gifts separately." Emperor Xichu didn't seem to notice the turmoil between the three of them, and said with a curious look: "I like Prince Lin's congratulatory gift very much, I don't know what the second prince and princess prepared for me?" ”
Lin Xiaochen finally reacted, and said with a quiet smile: "The congratulatory gift given by the eldest brother to His Majesty is a private purchase, and the congratulatory gift from Xiao Wang to His Majesty is a rare treasure prepared by the entire Southern Wei Kingdom, and your Majesty will like it if you want to come." ”
The congratulatory gift was in a huge tin box, and it had already been carried up. It was just that Lin Yixuan suddenly appeared and interrupted just now, which made Lin Xiaochen say this, causing everyone to have a strong interest in this huge congratulatory gift. Actually poured its entire Southern Wei Kingdom? How precious is that?
"Your Majesty, please look!"
As the lid of the box was opened, the walls of the box were lowered on all sides, and everyone clearly saw that inside the box was a pavilion carved from white jade three feet high and two feet wide. On the huge base, exquisite and small palaces come to life, hidden between the fairy islands, like a fairyland.
Although it is countless times smaller than the real palace, every temple, garden, and even the flowers and trees are as real as the real thing. There is also a pool of lake water carved in the corner of the temple, but there is no water, and there seems to be swimming fish at the bottom of the lake, because it is too small to see really. The mountains are towering, and the same white jade is carved, exuding a lustrous light, not to mention the immeasurable value, just such carving is breathtaking, and the world contains.
"It's really wonderful!" Emperor Xichu's eyes lit up and he sighed: "Such a masterpiece, it is really a treasure." ”
Luo Qingluan looked a little strange, although this jade carved ornament is indeed good, and it is also priceless for ordinary people, but Lin Xiaochen said before that this congratulatory gift was a collection of the entire Southern Wei Kingdom to succeed, if it is just a jade ornament, and then the carving is good, it is priceless, but it is a little too heavy for giving it to Emperor Xichu as a congratulatory gift.
The emperor of a country, how can he not see a treasure?
At this moment, Lin Xiaochen smiled: "Your Majesty, this treasure is carved from a whole piece of the best mutton fat white jade, and it is already priceless, but the most wonderful thing is not it itself, but there is another mystery. ”
After speaking, he took out the object that had been prepared in his arms a long time ago, it was actually a small bottle, and walked to the jade ornament to open it. Some water flowed out of the bottle and poured into the groove of the lake in this jade ornament, and the water was full of light, but it was a little more agile.
Lin Xiaochen's actions made everyone strange, and Emperor Xichu was even more puzzled: "What is the meaning of the second prince's move?" ”
With a faint smile, a touch of smugness finally appeared on his face, Lin Xiaochen said: "This treasure is called 'Penglai Immortal Pavilion', as long as clear water is poured into this miniature lake, it will form a wonderful wonder, which is difficult to find in the world." ”
Everyone was puzzled, only to see someone blurt out: "Look! ”
The fairy mountain pavilion carved from white jade was actually covered by the slowly emerging mist, and this mist emerged from the miniature lake below. The smoke rose slowly, soon enveloping the entire three-foot-high ornament, presenting a mysterious and ethereal spectacle.
