Chapter 14 The Kings Offer Treasures

A clear voice came from outside the hall, and the prince stepped into the hall before the words fell.

Zhan Xinglan looked at the man passing in front of him, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

She retracted her gaze and sighed softly. When she raised her head again, she happened to meet Fu Xuanlin's burning gaze.

What does he see me doing? It couldn't have been that he had discovered something.

Zhan Xinglan blinked his eyes, inexplicably feeling a little weak, so he had to return with a polite smile, and then pretended to be calm and took the wine glass and drank it all.

A stream of pure liquid slid into the mouth, slightly spicy but not spicy.

Not to mention, this wine is quite delicious.

Fu Xuanlin looked away when he saw her so calm, but this woman's eyes and the smell on her body were exactly the same as that person.

Zhan Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was no longer looking at him, and drank the contents of the cup again to suppress the shock.

"Your Majesty, in order to celebrate Your Majesty's Qianqiu, I have found a treasure, and I wish Your Majesty a long life and a long life."

Fu Tingxuan tore off the red silk as soon as he said that, and the entire hall was instantly warm like spring.

The object under the red silk reveals its true body, resembling a cow's horn, yellow as gold, and the magic is the warm air emanating from it.

Legend has it that this thing can detoxify snake venom and avoid miasma, and only one plant can make the whole hall as warm as spring. When he heard about this artifact, he sent people to the country of Jiaozhi to find it, but fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after several months, he finally found this object and dedicated it to His Majesty. ”

"The prince has a heart, and I like it very much."

Emperor Jing smiled and nodded, and immediately ordered someone to put this cold rhinoceros on the table next to the dragon chair.

Fu Tingxuan sat back on the seat, but heard Fu Hongyao sneer.

"Flatterer, but Erl."

Fu Tingxuan glanced at him, but he didn't move on the surface, but secretly wrote down his stroke.

The crown prince opened the head of the gift, and the next thing was Fu Zichun, the eldest brother's gift.

Fu Zichun's offering is a golden longevity peach made of pure gold, which is unique in that this golden longevity peach is a foot long and carved by ten gold casters.

He is an honest person, and even the congratulatory gifts are so unpretentious.

Although this birthday gift is conventional, it is a congratulatory gift that no one can refuse.

After all, who doesn't love gold?

Especially Zhan Xinglan, her eyes were about to fall out when she saw such a big piece of gold, and in her eyes, the cold rhinoceros was not as good as this golden longevity peach.

Fu Hongyao sent an elixir that can bring people back to life.

It is said that it is the painstaking work of the Heavenly Scar Dao people for several years, and it is the only one in the world.

Fu Hongyao said that this elixir was mysterious, but Zhan Xinglan disdained it.

The flesh and bones of the living dead, there are only a few people who can do these six words so far, and how can a mere wandering Taoist do it. It's just a grandiose god, and only a stupid son of a landlord like King Qi would believe it.

However, although he is stupid and dull, his own brother Fu Rinxu is a smart one.

Zhan Xinglan once wondered if the two had been dropped.

Fu Rinxu presented the sword of the great general of the previous dynasty, called the Seven Star Sword.

This sword blade is decorated with the Big Dipper Seven Star Pattern and auspicious cloud pattern, forged with dark iron, sharpening iron like mud and cutting people without blood, Emperor Jing personally led his troops to fight with Zhuo Heng, the general of the previous dynasty, were defeated by this sword.

Emperor Jing was in awe of the Seven Star Sword.

He took it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, then ordered Kou Huai to place it in the Xuanzheng Palace, so as to remind him from time to time that the country was not easy to come by.

The last person to present the gift was Fu Xuanlin, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

is also a man who has occupied the front page of the capital for a long time, and suddenly everyone is interested in him.

Emperor Jing frowned, holding the armrest of the dragon chair secretly.

But Fu Xuanlin looked as usual, and stood up calmly in front of everyone, without even needing to be supported or borrowed.

Emperor Jing's frowning brows slowly stretched, a tight thread also relaxed, and the corners of his mouth inexplicably raised an arc.

Empress Yue on the side looked solemn, and her slender red nails were almost embedded in the flesh.

"The things offered by the son must be uncovered by His Majesty himself, please move your Majesty."

As soon as Fu Xuanlin's words fell, there was criticism in the banquet.

"Brother Eleven, you are so bold. Even your broken pen, ink, paper, and inkstone dare to summon His Majesty to uncover it for you, how arrogant? What's more, today is Your Majesty's Dragon Shou, how can you work for the dragon body? ”

Fu Hongyao looked disdainful, and scolded Fu Xuanlin in public, causing everyone to look sideways at Fu Xuanlin.

Zhan Xinglan glared at Fu Hongyao fiercely, he couldn't provoke the prince to bully Fu Xuanlin, he was really a troublemaker.

"The gift offered by the courtier is extremely precious, and if it were not for His Majesty himself to reveal it for fear of offending the gods, the courtier's brother would just follow the courtesy. What's more, His Majesty has not yet spoken, and the fourth brother is so violent, presumably the fourth brother knows His Majesty's intentions well. ”

Fu Xuanlin looked at Fu Hongyao with a pair of deep eyes, with a subtle expression.

"That's nature."

Fu Hongyao didn't expect Fu Xuanlin to refute, so he blurted out the words in his heart.

Anyone could hear the meaning of Fu Xuanlin's words, but Fu Hongyao couldn't hear it, and he looked complacent.

"That's it, it's just a trivial matter, and it doesn't hurt for me to reveal it."

Emperor Jing's face was as gray as ashes, and he glanced at Fu Hongyao when he stepped off the high platform.

In the center of the main hall, the base of a red sandalwood carved dragon is covered with yellow silk. The moment Emperor Jing took off the yellow silk, there seemed to be a green light shining.

Emperor Jing looked at that thing in a little surprise, "This is the Lian Treasure Mirror?" ”

"Your Majesty's discerning eyes immediately recognized that this mirror was made by the world-famous Lian clan more than 400 years ago."

Zhan Xinglan's eyes lit up when he heard this, the treasure mirror more than four hundred years ago was an antique, and even now it is a sky-high treasure.

It was not only Zhan Xinglan who was shocked, but also Ke Xiang Ke Jingfeng.

"If the old minister is not mistaken, this mirror is the Tongshen Treasure Mirror dedicated to Emperor Sheng Han Kingdom, the only one in the world, and the whereabouts of this treasure mirror after the death of Emperor Yan are unknown."

Emperor Jing nodded, and carefully picked up the base to admire.

Empress Yue, who had always had a gloomy complexion, saw that Emperor Jing was so attentive to Fu Xuanlin's congratulatory gift, and immediately couldn't sit still.

"Your Majesty, according to what the concubine has seen, although this congratulatory gift is an antiquity, it is not a rare object, a broken bronze mirror, and it is not guaranteed that it was dug up from the tomb of Emperor Yan by tomb robbers. King Ling, how can such an unfortunate thing be presented to Your Majesty as a congratulatory gift? What kind of heart do you have? ”

The ministers at the table also echoed it.

"To offer the things of the dead to the Son of Heaven as a congratulatory gift is to say that it is ignorant of etiquette at a small level, and to be disrespectful to the Son of Heaven at a large level, and it is a great sin to deceive the king."

"Yes, King Ling is young, I don't know the taboos."

"It's just a bronze mirror, and I can hold it, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

Zhan Xinglan secretly scolded: This Yue is really an old monster, a pair of good-hearted eyes who gave birth to a good skin but didn't! These dogleg ministers aren't a good thing either.

There were more and more doubts around, and Fu Xuanlin immediately became the target of public criticism.

"Tongshen Treasure Mirror is made of Lian's painstaking efforts, and it was once opened by Zhang Tianshi. It is rumored that this mirror can deter evil spirits, gather the aura of all things in heaven and earth, and have the power of penetrating the heavens and the earth. The son is incompetent and can't share his worries and relieve his majesty's labor, so he just wants to use this mirror as a sustenance to bless the long-lasting prosperity of the cold country. ”

Fu Xuanlin was calm, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he made a loud noise, and immediately shut up those dogs who catered to Empress Yue.

"Xuanlin's pure heart, I am very relieved. Kou Huai immediately ordered this mirror to be enshrined on the main hall of Hanyuan Palace. ”

"Yes, the old slave obeys."

Emperor Jing handed the treasure mirror to Kou Huai, and patted Fu Xuanlin's shoulder with relief.

This is the first time since Concubine Chun lost power that Emperor Jing looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

Fu Xuanlin's eyebrows moved slightly, and then returned to normal.

These small expressions were all in Zhan Xinglan's eyes.

After the gift, the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious and tactful in the Lin De Palace, and a group of singing and dancing girls jumped on the stage. A series of exquisite jade-like delicacies were served, and everyone drank and ate meat and was intoxicated.

After Zhan Xinglan was full of wine and food, he looked in the direction of Xi Li'er from time to time.

About half an hour later, Xi Li'er took advantage of everyone's attention to dance and music, and quietly slipped out.

It didn't take long for Fu Tingxuan to also withdraw from the hall on the grounds of changing clothes.

Sure enough, as Zhan Xinglan expected, these two must have gone to a corner tryst.

Zhan Xinglan stood up, pretended to be drunk, held his forehead and staggered out of the hall with the support of the maid.

After walking a few meters, Zhan Xinglan let go of the maid's arm.

"It's okay for me, just spread the strength of the wine outside, you can go back and serve."

"Yes."

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhan Xinglan regained his clear expression and quickly chased down the corridor.

Zhan Xinglan followed Fu Tingxuan all the way along the corridor to the East Lake Promenade, which is secluded and sparsely populated, and it is really a good place for a tryst.

Sure enough, after following a few more steps, Zhan Xinglan saw a slim shadow in the middle of the lake.

The surrounding palaces and pavilions are gradually decreasing, and the promenade is surrounded by lakes. Zhan Xinglan saw that there was nowhere to hide any further, so he had no choice but to stop following and hide behind a tree a little farther away from them.

Fortunately, there was silence all around, and their conversation was faintly audible.

Xi Li'er heard the footsteps, and slowly turned around and smiled at Fu Tingxuan.

"Brother Tingxuan, you're here."

The extremely gentle voice was almost crisp to the bones, and Fu Tingxuan's eyes were full of tenderness as soon as he heard her voice.

"Pian."

Fu Tingxuan strode forward, and his broad body hugged Xi Li'er tightly in his arms in the darkness.

Xi Li'er leaned on Fu Tingxuan's arms and said aggrievedly: "Brother Tingxuan, you are here." ”

"What's the matter, but someone has wronged you?"

"Li'er has the protection of Brother Tingxuan, how can anyone give Li'er grievances. It's just that this morning, Li'er specially sent the picture of a hundred birds to the queen's bedroom embroidered for more than a month, but Her Royal Highness still didn't want to accept it, and said that Li'er was ......"

Xi Li'er cried as she spoke, and buried her face in Fu Tingxuan's arms aggrievedly.

Fu Tingxuan ate this set the most, and he was immediately distressed.

"What did the queen mother say about you?"

"Her Royal Highness said that Li'er came from a humble background and was bent on clinging to the prince, and she was a delusional slut. Even if it is Zhan Sanniang, she is much better than Pian'er, but the poor child loves Brother Tingxuan and has no intention of clinging, if Brother Tingxuan doesn't believe it, Li'er will dig out her heart and show it to Brother Tingxuan. ”

Hearing this, Zhan Xinglan was speechless, what do you call me much better than her, and I am not very good together.

Fu Tingxuan was hateful and anxious, and covered Xi Li'er's cherry mouth.

"No nonsense! How could I not believe you. When the time is ripe, I will ask my father to marry you and me, so that you can become the crown princess in a dignified manner. ”

"Really?"

Xi Li'er raised her teary eyes and looked at Fu Tingxuan, in addition to love, there was hope in those eyes.

"How could I have lied to you?" Fu Tingxuan gently wiped the crystal tears for her, but who knew that he suddenly changed his words, "However, there is something that may have to wronged you first." ”

"Li'er is willing to do anything for Brother Tingxuan."

"The old eleven won His Majesty's blue eyes when he first showed his edge, but he didn't have a reliable person in the court, and the only one who remained neutral was Ming Guogong. Ming Guogong has followed His Majesty for many years, and His Majesty is also very fond of him, if Ming Guogong is on his side at that time, it will be very unfavorable to us. Right now, the queen mother is planning marriages for the kings, if I accept Zhan Xinglan as the crown princess, then the entire Zhan family will be used by us. ”

The air freezes in an instant.

Xi Li'er looked at Fu Tingxuan in disbelief, "But Brother Tingxuan didn't promise me......"

Fu Tingxuan stroked her hair, and his eyes were so tender.

"Li'er, I have really wronged you for the sake of the overall situation. With such a great opportunity in front of us, wouldn't it be a pity to give it up? ”

Zhan Xinglan, who was hiding in the shadows, shuddered behind her back, no wonder Xi Li'er hated her so much, it turned out that the initiator was Fu Tingxuan.
