Chapter 019: Strange Gifts

The eldest prince spoke, and the Nine Emperors didn't want to pursue it again, so he bowed down and said, "What the imperial brother said is true!" With that, he turned around and left. The eldest prince hurriedly picked up Liao Ziling, who was still kneeling, aroused everyone, and comforted a few words. ordered the song and dance to continue, and raised a glass to drink with Liao Ziling.

Liao Ziling waited for the eldest prince to return to his seat, and immediately ordered someone to send his second daughter Liao Ruiyu back to the mansion and take strict care of her. And Li Siyu didn't know when he left the viewing platform.

A storm, in the sound of singing and dancing, disappeared invisibly.

After the Nine Emperor Princes left, they went straight to the resting place under the stage and found Sima Hongyan, who was being examined by the imperial doctor. At this time, the imperial doctor had already rubbed the medicine to reduce the swelling for her, and the redness and swelling seemed to subside a little.

Seeing that the Nine Emperor Princes were coming, Sima Hongyan smiled and beckoned. When the Nine Emperor Princes approached, he said with a smile: "Thank you just now!" ”

Seeing her hippie smiling face, the Nine Emperors knew that there was nothing wrong, so they asked her what was going on just now.

Sima Hongyan looked at Liao Ruiyu's attitude towards Li Siyu just now, and guessed eight or nine. So he said in a false way: "What else can happen." The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. ”

The Nine Emperors are so smart, they understand it as soon as they hear it. smiled: "It turns out that you were affected by the pond fish!" ”

Sima Hongyan sighed and said helplessly: "I'm unlucky!" ”

After a while, the Nine Emperor Princes returned to the main stage to report to Emperor Yanzhen. Sima Hongyan returned to his seat in a big way, with a breezy look, he should eat and drink.

But when the people next to her looked at her again, there was curiosity and fear in their eyes. involuntarily avoided her.

Liao Yunhan in the distance stared at Sima Hongyan as if nothing had happened, thoughtfully.

After what had just happened, the originally interrupted dedication ceremony continued again, and the master of ceremonies and eunuchs continued to announce the gifts sent by each family.

It wasn't until he shouted the gift from Sima Hongyan of the Zhenguo General's Mansion that his voice stopped abruptly.

Everyone didn't know what gift Sima Hongyan had given, so they all stopped the wine glass in their hands and looked at the presenting table. Even Emperor Yan Zhen, who was talking to the minister, was attracted and looked this way.

It turned out that the master of ceremonies and eunuchs opened Sima Hongyan's box and was about to say what the gift was, but suddenly found that it was still a box inside, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he stopped.

However, it may be that the gift is expensive, and it is not strange to have an extra box. The master of ceremonies and eunuchs hurriedly opened the second box and preached loudly again: "The gift presented by Sima Hongyan of the Zhenguo General's Mansion is ......" I didn't expect to take out another box with it. This time, the emcee and eunuch were stuck there and couldn't shout.

Everyone present was attracted by this scene, box after box, and there were three in a row, this was the first time in the history of Yanling Kingdom to encounter a gift.

Everyone's curiosity was instantly attracted by this seemingly mischievous gift. It's all going to see if you can still pull out the fourth box.

Sima Hongyan really didn't disappoint everyone, when the master of ceremonies and eunuchs opened the third box, they really took out another box. This time, the master of ceremonies and eunuchs kept an eye on it and stopped shouting. But even if he didn't shout, everyone's eyes were on him.

Emperor Yanzhen and all the concubines and princes were very interested, and they really couldn't think of any tricks to play. Even the guards around who didn't squint couldn't help but look this way. Only the Nine Emperors' brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more ugly.

At this time, the ministers silently began to worry about Sima Hongyan. Although it seems to be very funny, it arouses the curiosity of the emperor, but if you can't get a decent gift for a while, it will be a crime of deception. Playing tricks on the emperor in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, copying your nine clans is light. They all felt that Sima Hongyan's gift was too bold!

Looking at Sima Hongyan again, he still put oranges in his mouth one by one, with a smile on his face, which was completely indifferent.

The master of ceremonies and eunuchs couldn't care about their embarrassment, and hurriedly opened the fourth box. I didn't take out another box this time. Instead, he brought out something oddly shaped!

Everyone present was "Huh? "A bang. No one could see what it was.

Emperor Yan Zhen wondered, he couldn't see clearly when he was far away, so he couldn't help but simply stepped off the dragon chair and came to the front to watch.

This thing has a strange appearance, and it looks a little like a coral tree in the sea, but it is not. The color is gray, and the exterior is covered with a layer of transparent things, which is strange and strange.

The master of ceremonies and eunuchs couldn't see what it was, and they couldn't announce it, so they dared to touch it, and the tentacles were hard. I looked up and asked the emperor who was standing next to him with a blank face, and when he saw the emperor nodding, he borrowed a scabbard from the guards next to him and knocked it a few times on this strange thing.

"Wow" made a few muffled sounds, obviously not metal. The master of ceremonies and eunuchs saw sweat on their foreheads, and there was no way, so they squatted down and got closer, stretched out their tongues and licked them.

A sweet taste!

However, when the master of ceremonies and eunuchs approached to lick it, a smell rushed into his nose. What a familiar taste! The master of ceremonies and eunuchs quickly thought about where he had smelled this smell. I didn't think about it for long, and suddenly I suddenly realized, and blurted out: "Jiang! It's ginger! ”

"Wow!" Everyone present was in an uproar!

It's actually the ginger used in the kitchen. This thing is simply as worthless as it is, and at such a grand ceremony, he actually used a bunch of ginger to give it to the emperor.

When Emperor Yan Zhen heard that it was actually a pile of ginger, he felt like he was being played, Long Yan was furious and kicked the large bundle of ginger to the ground. Unexpectedly, this pile of ginger was glued very strongly, and it didn't fall off a piece after being kicked down.

When the queen saw the emperor so angry, she was also extremely angry, and shouted: "It is really a great crime to dare to use such inferior things to deceive the saints. Someone! Take Sima Hongyan down for me. ”

The guards received the order, the long knives were unsheathed, and they all surrounded Sima Hongyan.

The Nine Emperor Princes hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said to Emperor Yanzhen: "Father, the emperor is angry!" There must be a reason for Sima Hongyan's move, if we were framed and stole a gift, wouldn't we have wronged a good person? The father sent her up first, and it was not too late to convict her after asking clearly! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Yan Zhen raised his hand and stopped a group of guards. He bowed his head and said to the Nine Emperor Princes on the ground: "Hong'er, you defended her three or four times today, and you didn't hesitate to offend General Liao for her just now, what is it for?" ”

The Nine Emperors were taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Father and Emperor are aware of it, and her sons have never defended her. It's just that this matter is really strange, and Erchen also wants to find out the truth. ”

Emperor Yan Zhen stared at the Nine Emperor Princes for a moment before he said, "Okay! It's up to you. Come! Bring Sima Hongyan forward to talk back. ”

Sima Hongyan stood up unhurriedly at this time, stepped forward slowly, walked to the main stage not far from the emperor with his head down, knelt down and shouted: "See my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" This time she really knelt down honestly, and didn't dare to squat in front of the emperor.

Emperor Yanzhen said: "Raise your head!" ”

In the ordinary people, they must say that the ministers dare not dare, or the ministers are afraid that they will be shocked by the saint or something. But Sima Hongyan heard this, agreed, and raised his head generously, not only raised his head, but also stood up by the way.

This woman is so bold and unprecedented! Emperor Yan Zhen was originally very angry, but now he was aroused by this woman's curiosity.

He thinks this Sima Hongyan is very interesting, he doesn't hide it at all, he is very simple and direct! Ordinary people are too frightened to speak, but this woman doesn't care.

The emperor doesn't care, the queen doesn't do it. "Bold!" Who got you up? ”

Sima Hongyan said with an innocent face: "The emperor asked me to raise my head, but how can I raise my head when I kneel?" I can only stand up! ”

Obviously strong words, and dared to reason with the queen, the queen was so angry that her face turned pale, and she was about to say more. But he was stopped by the emperor with his hand.

Emperor Yan Zhen's face was solemn, and he asked sharply, "Sima Hongyan, is this a gift from you to me?" ”

Unexpectedly, Sima Hongyan replied with a big grin: "Yes! This is the gift I brought to you. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes on the side suddenly felt half cold, and said in their hearts, is this woman stupid or what? I've just helped you find a reason, and you're still saying that. It's like the gods can't save you when they come!
