Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Magical Pearls of Daylight
The land of Gura is compact and stable, and even the buildings are built higher, and the banquet is set in a very magnificent and ornate palace, but judging from the appearance, although the palace is splendid, it is by no means the highest regulation of Gurla.
Mu Chun Jue and Ai Qing followed the guidance of the palace maid and sat on the nearest mat on the right side, Qi Chengzhang sat next to Ai Qing, and General Zhou and Ah Qi stood behind them with black halberds.
Gonggong Yin looked at the fierce appearance of the black halberd, and Nuo Nuo got closer and asked: "Lord Wang, I don't know if this black wolf can be detained elsewhere, this little master is pampered in the palace, and it can be seen that this fierce beast." ”
"Oh? That's really the king's thoughtlessness," Mu Chun said and turned around and touched the head of the black halberd, and ordered: "Then you can go out for a while by yourself!" ”
Before Yin Gong could speak publicly, the black halberd rushed out with a smoke.
Looking at the disappearing figure of the black halberd, Gonggong Yin was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Lord Wang...... This...... That's unacceptable! Let this black wolf run around in the palace, I don't know how many palace people will be frightened! ”
"Gonggong Yin's words make this king embarrassed, this black halberd can't be carried by his side, and he can't let it out, this is a wolf pet that has accompanied this king for ten years, does my father-in-law want to let this king kill it?"
Looking at Mu Chun's cold expression, Gonggong Yin was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "The slave doesn't dare!" The minions don't dare, it's just ......"
Qi Chengzhang, who was sitting on the side, also felt inappropriate when he saw this situation, arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, Gonggong Yin's worries are not unreasonable, although this black wolf is docile, it is a beast in the end, if it bites any of the little masters in this palace, I am afraid that the upper authorities will also blame it!" ”
Mu Chun saw that Qi Chengzhang had spoken, and replied with a smile: "Lord Yue, I'm too worried, this black halberd is well-trained, and it will never hurt people at will." ”
"Father, since the prince can command a hundred thousand wolf troops, how can a black wolf not be able to control it?" Ai Qing was also relieved and turned to Gonggong Yin and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, since the prince dares to let it out, he knows that it won't bite, so you should get up first!" ”
Although Gonggong Yin was still unsteady when he heard this, he could only answer the "yes" and stood up and retreated to the door.
Seeing that Qi Chengzhang still looked worried, Ai Qing changed the topic and asked, "Father, is my mother okay at home?" ”
"Since you got married, your mother has become weaker and weaker, and she stays in the hospital every day, and she doesn't like to see people. Your aunt has found a lot of expensive decoctions to give her, but she has never improved. Qi Chengzhang couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Ai Qing's eyes darkened when she heard this, and asked, "Does the eldest mother often send medicine to her mother?" ”
"Yes! I've drunk a lot of it before and after, probably because I miss you too much! What a heart disease! No matter how good the medicine is, it is difficult to cure. Fortunately, you are back now, and when you leave the palace, you will accompany her, and maybe she will get better soon. ”
"Well, Qin'er will go back to visit her as soon as she is free." Ai Qing responded, her eyes cold, and anger rose in her heart.
Xu Feifei also scolded in her heart: "It's just that this old woman poisoned Qi Qin'er's face, and even her mother didn't let go!" ”
------
While speaking, a lot of concubines and ministers came in front and back, and as soon as Ai Qing looked up, she saw Qi Feng'er sitting directly opposite her, and Qi Feng'er was also looking at her with a surprised face at the moment. And the man in the bright yellow robe next to her had a more complicated expression, needless to say, Ai Qing also knew that it was the Guluo prince Min Ce that Qi Qin'er was thinking about.
Mu Chun Jue noticed Ai Qing's condensed eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "But have you seen an acquaintance?" ”
"Hmmm! On the opposite side are my second sister Qi Feng'er and the crown prince Min Ce. ”
Mu Chun looked forward with a decisive gaze, and deliberately asked with a cold face, "Is that Qin'er looking at your second sister or at Prince Guluo?"
Ai Qing heard this, knowing that his father-in-law was jealous again, and stared at him for a long time before he smiled with relief: "No matter who Qin'er looks at in her eyes, she only sees the prince in her heart." ”
When Mu Chun heard this, the corners of his lips lifted and he stretched out his hand to pinch her little face again, and at this moment, the eunuch outside the door shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived." ”
Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, Mu Chun had no choice but to chuckle, put down the raised hand, took Ai Qing's hand and got up and saluted according to the rules.
"Sit down," Emperor Gu Luo said, walked to the main seat and sat down, and ordered: "Today, the King of Chiyunyan is visiting, and I, Gu Luo, want to do my best to be a landlord, Gong Yin, and order someone to bring the wine and food." ”
"Yes" Gonggong Yin responded, slapped his palms twice, and the palace maids walked in with dishes and wine.
"These drinks and food were prepared by the imperial kitchen in the palace ordered by the crown princess early in the morning, and the king of rock and the princess tasted it to see if it suited their appetite."
Ai Qing looked at the dishes served by the palace maid, nine out of ten were mixed with fish and shrimp, and unconsciously raised her vigilance.
"Seafood! Blessed today! When Xu Feifei saw this delicacy, she couldn't help but ask in her heart: "Ai Qing, why are you stunned?" Eat! ”
"Can't eat," Ai Qing replied in a heartfelt voice.
"What's wrong? Is it poisonous in the dish? ”
"I'm afraid that Qi Feng'er will not dare to poison her directly, these dishes are also brought up in a disorderly order, but Guluo is not a country near the sea, how can he eat fish and shrimp?" Ai Qing said and looked up at Qi Feng'er, only to see a sinister smile on her face, and her heart became even more alert: "Could it be that Qi Qin'er is allergic to seafood?" ”
Mu Chun Jue looked at Ai Qing with a hesitant expression and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter, Qin'er?" ”
"Qin'er can't eat the food in the sea." Ai Qing could only express her conjecture.
Mu Chunju's expression condensed when he heard this, he snorted lightly and gritted his teeth and said, "This princess is really sinister!" ”
"She is only afraid that I will not be favored if I marry Chiyun with such a face, and the prince will also force me to eat it because he does not refute the emperor."
"Sister, what? Could it be that he went to Chiyun and was used to eating desert delicacies, and he also disliked these foods of Guluo? Qi Feng'er saw that Ai Qing didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, so she deliberately put pressure on her.
Qi Chengzhang naturally understood his daughter's body, so he spoke out to stop him: "Feng'er, your sister is ...... her."
"It's rare for the crown princess to prepare these foods, but Qin'er is pregnant, and these meaty things are a little unpalatable." Mu Chun smiled and brought the lie he had told once.
Ai Qing couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and she could only pull the corners of her lips and nodded in agreement.
"Oh? Then I'm going to congratulate the Rock King. The emperor said and turned his head to look at Qi Feng'er and said: "The crown princess and the princess got married on the same day, why is the princess pregnant, and the princess has not moved?" ”
"Me!" Qi Feng'er was speechless after eating, so she could only sit in place secretly, and her silver teeth were afraid that she would be crushed. When the crown prince next to him, Min Ce, heard that Ai Qing was pregnant, his face was stunned, and then he sank again.
The emperor looked at the two of them and didn't answer, didn't pay attention, turned his head and ordered: "Someone!" Remove Princess Rock's food and replace it with something lighter. ”
"Yes!" Gonggong Yin answered and retreated.
"The concubine thanked the emperor!" Ai Qing saluted, looked at Qi Feng'er's face full of anger, and said with a light smile in her eyes: "Qin'er is very happy to be able to return to Guluo with the prince this time. Although Qin'er was blessed to taste these delicacies prepared by her sister on behalf of Gu Luo, this friendship was clear in Qin'er's heart, so Qin'er also brought the gift of Chiyun to Gu Luo. ”
"Oh? What is the princess referring to? The emperor asked.
"The concubine ordered someone to fetch this thing, and the emperor will know it at a glance." Ai Qing said and turned around and ordered, "General Zhou, you go and get that thing." ”
"Yes, Princess!" General Zhou received the order and walked out of the palace, and in just a few moments, General Zhou returned to the palace with electric lights and generators.
"What is this?" The emperor asked, looking at the strange-looking iron bumps and light bulbs in front of him.
"Back to the emperor, this is an extremely precious treasure of Chiyun, even if it is a night pearl, it cannot be compared." Ai Qing got up and walked to the center to pick up the light bulb and said, "This thing is called the Sunlight Pearl, and only one can illuminate the entire palace." ”
Mu Chun decided to look at the little wife in front of him who was making up nonsense, and smiled lightly, staring at her doting as if he wanted to watch a play.
"Yi Zhen sees that although this pearl of sunlight has a strange appearance, there is no light at all, how dare the princess say that it is stronger than the pearl of night?"
"The emperor doesn't know that this sunlight bead needs to be nourished with the oil of the desert, and there is also a mechanism to open the mechanism to glow. I don't know if I can ask the palace people to extinguish the candles and oil lamps, and the concubine will know if she tries it. ”
"Well, go, put out the candle!" The emperor commanded.
Seeing that the palace people turned off the lights, Ai Qing turned on the switch of the generator, and in just an instant, the light bulb in his hand lit up.
The concubines and ministers present were in an uproar, looking at the "bead" in front of them that illuminated the entire palace many times with a shocked face.
"This daylight pearl is really magical, it is really a hundred times brighter than the night pearl!" The emperor sighed and asked, "I don't know where this thing came from?" ”
"Back to the emperor, this sunlight pearl is produced thousands of meters deep in the desert, and it is accidentally obtained by hundreds of craftsmen when they spend half a year digging culverts, and this is the only one in the world. After careful research by skilled craftsmen, the mystery was discovered. Although Chiyun was reluctant, he dedicated this thing to Gura for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Ai Qing blurted out the lie that had been drafted in her heart early in the morning, and she couldn't see any distraction on her face.
The emperor looked at the 'rare treasure' in front of him, slapped the table and said, "Okay! Since Chiyun is willing to sacrifice such a precious thing, I, Guruda will definitely make this alliance! ”
Mu Chun's face froze for a moment and disappeared without a trace, then he got up and took the conversation and said, "Then the little king made this alliance on behalf of his father and the people of Chiyun. ”
------
It wasn't until the black halberd came out of the palace gate and sat in the carriage that Mu Chun decided to ask: "This king has always thought that Qin'er made this electric lamp is something that Gu Luo already has, and even Emperor Gu Luo has never seen this situation today." ”
Ai Qing knew in his heart that in order to help Chiyun become strong and prosperous, he would have to do a lot of modern things in the future, so he had no intention of hiding it, and said: "This electric lamp was actually developed by Qin'er herself, Qin'er has already said that she knows a lot of things, but the prince can't believe it and complain about me." ”
"How can this king complain about you! It's just that I don't know where Qin'er learned these skills, can make the medicine of resurrecting the dead, and can also research such a magical object. Mu Chun looked at the slender and immature little wife in front of him, his face full of doubts.
