Chapter 9: An Extraordinary Gift
After much deliberation, Luo Ming came to a conclusion.
Could it be that he was able to come to this banquet because of this Zi Nuo? Even the Fire Sect Master had said that if it weren't for some special reasons, he wouldn't be qualified to appear in this Shufang Hall anyway, so the only possibility he could think of now was that Zi Nuo specially invited him to come.
Come to think of this.
Luo Ming glanced at Zinuo deeply.
"Father. Zi Nuo stepped forward and gave a very elegant court salute to the Purple Emperor, such a graceful posture naturally attracted the eyes of the young people around them, because they found that the current princess of Worry-free was completely different from her usual naughty and naughty temperament.
"Our little princess is here. The Purple Emperor laughed and pointed to Jiuyi next to him and introduced: "This is Mr. Jiuyi, I heard that today is your birthday, and I came to congratulate you on your birthday in person." ”
"I'm tired of the old man. Zinuo glanced at Jiuyi with some surprise, as if he didn't expect that this crane-haired and childish old man was the legendary Jiuyi who had the holy art to the sky and could remove the sequelae of the Xuanist martial arts in the Imperial Sky Realm, Jiuyi's great name, which was spread throughout Great Xia.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Her Majesty the princess for ten years, and I've grown up to be an adult, and I've followed your mother's beauty. Jiuyi glanced at Zinuo and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zinuo pursed his lips and smiled.
She also understands that if this old gentleman Jiuyi really talks about his status and status, he is not much lower than her father, so naturally he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
All the guests have arrived, the time for the banquet to start has arrived, Zi Nuo sat next to her father, only to see the Zi Emperor holding the wine glass, and said loudly: "Today is a worry-free birthday, the ministers came to enjoy their faces in the midst of all their busy schedules, I am deeply grateful, this glass of wine, first salute the emperors." ”
After saying that, the Purple Emperor raised his wine glass and drank it all.
And the toast named by the Purple Emperor, these palace ministers naturally did not dare to slack off, they all had wine glasses, and all kinds of blessings and words came, they were naturally able to distinguish clearly, this birthday banquet, worry-free is the protagonist, although His Majesty is here, but presumably, he does not want to let his daughter be left out because of his presence.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
While the palace officials kept toasting, they also presented their gifts to Zinuo and expressed their gratitude, but it seemed that because the Purple Emperor was here, they wanted to show their enthusiasm in front of the king of this country, and I don't know when these people would follow the introduction when they gave gifts.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is a Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Cloth, which is refined by a hundred-year-old purple silkworm for nine hundred and eighty-one days, it is a treasure robe, and its defensive nature is very objective, and it can resist the full force of a sixth-layer mystic who protects the body. ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is a thunder attribute canon, it is one of the ancestral mystical skills, I heard that Her Majesty the princess cultivated the attribute of thunder, this canon is the most suitable for Her Majesty the Princess. ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is an overlord-level third-grade flying beast, please smile. ”
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
Everyone in the field has prepared gifts in advance, or secret books, or mysterious beasts, or treasure clothes, these gifts have one thing in common, they are all some defensive means, even if the flying mysterious beast, it is also a means of escape, similar to defensive means, it stands to reason that the treasures of the royal treasure vault are endless, and there is no shortage of these, but they understand better that these defensive means and escape methods are not shallow, representing their importance to the safety of Her Majesty the princess.
Sure enough.
Seeing these gifts, the Purple Emperor Long Yan was overjoyed and laughed.
"Don't worry, these gifts can be regarded as a little heart, don't refuse. ”
Even Fan Chen also prepared a speed scroll, although it was only a sub-Xuandian, far less expensive than the gifts of those generals and ministers, but it was a little courtesy, not a tribute!......
"Senior brother, why do you still have to prepare gifts? I came empty-handed, how can I be good?" Luo Ming grabbed Fan Chen and smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Fan Chen was stunned, and then slapped his forehead suddenly, and his face also showed a look of annoyance: "Master has told me to remember to remind you of this, but I still forgot it, this and this...... But everyone who comes to the birthday banquet must have a gift, last year, the year before that, this gift is not a gift, it is a piece of heart for the royal family of Great Xia. ”
And actually.
Luo Ming also has treasures in his hands, such as the treasure box obtained from the psychedelic array, there are several low-level treasures in it, a middle-level treasure, after refining a few with innocent beads, there are still some left, but - those treasures are not swords, or axes, if they are given as gifts at this birthday banquet, first, the princess is the body of a daughter, how can she give these sharp things?
Second, such a treasure that is too aggressive is not auspicious.
I saw Fan Chen hesitate.
"It's okay, there are so many people in this Shufang Palace, and there are a lot of gifts given, Your Majesty will not write down the names of the givers one by one, if you don't give them, it shouldn't have any effect. Later, Fan Chen added in a low voice: "As long as it is not discovered." ”
"What if it's discovered?" Luo Ming asked hesitantly.
"If it's discovered, it's a big problem. Fan Chen's face was a little solemn: "Maybe it will leave a bad impression on Your Majesty, in this case, it will have too much impact on your future official career, you also know that Your Majesty is the king of a country, if he has an opinion on you, it will be very bad." ”
"But don't worry, there are so many people here, no one should care about us. ”
Neither of them knew that in this hall, there was a gloomy and cold gaze, which had been secretly falling on Luo Ming, seeing that after three rounds of drinking, Luo Ming still did not go to toast with Princess Sanssouci, nor did he give some gifts, Si Yuanbai's rather handsome face showed a sneer.
The Purple Emperor is obviously very capable of controlling the big scene, after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the whole banquet is already lively, all kinds of laughter and laughter, although Luo Ming did not drink, but all kinds of dim sum and delicacies have also been eaten, while eating, chatting with Fan Chen.
"It seems that this is an overstep. ”
"It's really dangerous to say, it's all to blame Senior Brother, it's rare to enter the palace once, and it almost caused you to drop the chain on such an important occasion. ”......
At this moment, Si Yuanbai, who was sitting behind General Zhendong, suddenly stood up, and his eyes also looked in the direction where Luo Ming was, only to see him smile slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Luo Ming, speaking of you, I, the princess, have also had a period of friendship with classmates, this princess's birthday, why didn't I see you give some gifts? No matter how heavy the gift is, it is also a little heart." ”
As soon as Si Yuanbai's words came out.
The noise of the entire Shufang Hall gradually became smaller, and in the end, it was completely silent, the needle drop could be heard, and the eyes around it all fell on Luo Ming in this instant, and even the Purple Emperor's somewhat fierce gaze also looked at Luo Ming.
All of a sudden.
Luo Ming has once again become the one who is in the limelight.
And among them, Xue Shanwei felt the most incredible, when she heard the name Luo Ming, she thought it was just the same name and surname, and she didn't care much, but when she saw the familiar face clearly, her delicate body trembled fiercely, and on that holy pretty face, a look of surprise to the extreme suddenly appeared.
"It's him. ”
"It's really him. ”......
"This Si Yuanbai, it's damned. Luo Ming's eyes froze.
"What's going on?" the Purple Emperor was expressionless, glancing at Luo Ming.
Under the gaze of the Purple Emperor, Luo Ming calmed down the anger in his heart, and then, he slowly got up and hugged his fists at the Purple Emperor with a calm face: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not what Si Yuanbai said, I have already prepared a gift below, but this gift is ...... But it's a little extraordinary. ”
"Oh, extraordinary?" Emperor Zi's face slowed down a little, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm very curious, how is it extraordinary??"
"It's no secret, I have been in contact with Her Royal Highness the Princess for a while, and I found out a long time ago that Her Royal Highness the Princess's Xuan Vein seems to have some problems. Luo Ming looked at Zinuo, looked at her face again, her state, and said quite affirmatively: "Presumably, these problems have been bothering Her Royal Highness the Princess for a long time, but my gift is to solve this trouble for Her Royal Highness." ”
"Or rather, it's the sequelae of martial arts. ”
Hear that.
The people around them scoffed, thinking that this person named Luo Ming was crazy, and he actually dared to get an axe in front of Mr. Jiuyi, if Her Royal Highness the princess had a problem with the Xuan Vein, wouldn't Mr. Jiuyi see it? Where is it your turn to solve it!
"Did the dog jump off the wall in a hurry?" Si Yuanbai sneered in his heart.
Correct.
The next scene surprised everyone, and even their jaws almost dropped, only to see the Purple Emperor looking at Luo Ming with interest, his fingers on the wooden table, making a rhythmic thumping sound.
"You see that??"
"I'm getting more and more curious, how do you see that?"
And until this moment, Jiuyi's gaze, which had been not squinting, finally fell on someone other than the Purple Emperor for the first time, he stared at Luo Ming from afar, and there seemed to be some playful abuse on the corner of his mouth.
