Chapter 116: Harmony
"Hehe, exactly, Weichen is fifty and six now!" When Zhang Ge Lao laughed, he still lacked a front tooth, and he was amiable when he smiled.
He continued: "Your Majesty, the congratulatory gift that Weichen wants to give, you will never think of it. β
"Is there anything more surprising than the congratulatory gift from Lian Aiqing?" Meng Qing teased.
Elder Zhang Ge instructed the palace people to present the wooden box.
When Lingyu took it, his hand suddenly trembled, and he almost didn't hold it steady.
The congratulatory gift was placed aside, Lingyu opened it and looked at it, and was instantly silent: "......"
Meng Qing leaned over curiously and looked: "......"
It was quiet for a long time......
"Your Majesty, do you like it?"
Meng Qing never thought that there was anything more unacceptable than what Lian Changde had sent.
Zhang Ge Lao sent a turtle!
She laughed like a joke, "This...... What is the meaning of a turtle? β
"Back to the emperor, this turtle is the spirit of longevity, give the turtle a turtle, may the emperor be blessed with the sky, and live with the turtle!"
ββ¦β¦β
Oops, thank you so much!
With such a small turtle, she is afraid that she will only have the size of a palm for the rest of her life, but I am afraid that the emperor has changed for several generations, and this turtle is still there when people leave!
Everyone's congratulatory gifts were almost offered, but Xiao Yan was left unpresented, and that Zhang Ge Lao had been against Xiao Yan all day long since the last time he went to the court.
He raised his voice, "I don't know what Emperor Xiao plans to offer to the emperor?" Emperor Xiao is a teacher and a friend to the emperor, and what you send must be in line with the emperor's wishes. β
Xiao Yan sat firmly on Mount Tai, "Don't dare." β
Then greet the boat.
"Bring it up."
"Yes."
Tracing the boat down and commanding.
Meng Qing was also curious about what Xiao Yan would send, remembering that Xiao Yan had given her many gadgets in her previous life, but now she doesn't remember which ones she has.
Under the sight of everyone, one after another boxes were sent into the hall, full of Xuande Palace, but the Xuande Hall could not be put down, and it extended to the outside of the palace, which can be described as ten miles of red makeup......
Meng Qing was dumbfounded.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
What kind of gift is this? Can it hold so much?
Xiao Yan: Did he move?
Su Zhou also reluctantly held a stack of lists to read: "Emperor Xiao presented: a pair of green jade bracelets to ward off evil spirits, a gold hollow bell, a Hetian white jade inlaid with gold and jade belt, a three-legged tripod phoenix incense burner, a set of Beihai pink and emerald pearl heads, a pair of glazed emerald marigolds, and a coral tree in the South China Sea......"
Meng Qing really couldn't listen to it anymore, "Stop, stop!" β
Su Zhou resolutely shut up, he didn't want to miss so much.
She looked in Xiao Yan's direction and said, "Taifu, are you sure this is a congratulatory gift for me?" Did you dig out all the money you have? β
Xiao Yan smiled and said nothing, and only asked Zhong Xuan to pass the word.
Zhong Xuan came to Meng Qing's side and said in a low voice: "My lord said that this is a dowry for the emperor." β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Meng Qing's creamy chestnut pupils dilated.
Dowry! Is her tinnitus? She heard her right!
But seeing so many people present, she could only hide the shock in her heart and pretend that nothing happened.
"Taifu...... I have a heart," Meng Qing looked at the red box in the hall, and had an inexplicable headache, "Lift and lift...... Carry it to the storeroom. β
I said earlier, if she is willing to send so many things for free, she doesn't have to go to Shu to find a treasure house, isn't Xiao Yan a mobile treasure house?
She had reason to suspect that Xiao Yan had raided the rich merchant's home, otherwise why would she have looted so many things.
Meng Qing hung her head, her ears were blushing, and she always whispered in her ear: "Dowry for the emperor." β
Just these few words, repeated in my head over and over again, lingering.
Until this time, a shrill voice came from outside the Xuande Hall.
"The envoys of the Jin Kingdom came to congratulate youβ"
"Xuan."
"Xiao Chuji, the second prince of the envoy of Xuanjin State, met with himββ"
The rhombic carved door was wide open, and everyone was curious about His Royal Highness the future crown prince of the Jin Kingdom.
You must know that this second prince has been loved by the royal family of the Jin Kingdom since he was a child, and he was extremely handsome, with long eyebrows and raised eyes, and he gave birth to an imperial atmosphere, and it is said that there is a cinnabar mole on the bridge of his nose, which is very charming.
Meng Qing was also very curious about this person's appearance, after all, the envoy sent by the Jin State this time would be the second prince of the dynasty.
There was a lot of talk in the palace.
Xiao Yan didn't care at all, calm as water.
Meng Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at it from a distance, and the crimson white figure slowly went up to the hall, combing his head with a jade crown, followed by the attendant officials, and carrying a congratulatory gift at the end, coming in a mighty manner.
It wasn't until the atrium that Meng Qing vaguely saw the appearance of the person who came.
Xiao Chuji and the officials behind him bowed their hands and saluted, "Xiao Chuji, the envoy of the Jin State, has seen the Great Chu Emperorββ"
"Flat."
"Emperor Xie Dachu."
Meng Qing looked Xiao Chuji up and down, this person's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, the bridge of his nose is high, and his irrepressible ambition seems to swell from his eyes, and a mole on the bridge of his nose is dotted with it, which does increase the memory point and eliminate the deep feeling of eyebrows and eyes.
He was dressed in a white placket with a collared robe, black hair and a golden crown, and his appearance was very great.
She said: "I don't know what the purpose of the Jin State sent an envoy to my great Chu? β
Xiao Chuji raised his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Our emperor heard that the new emperor of Great Chu had ascended the throne, and he has come to send a congratulatory gift to His Majesty the Emperor!" β
"Bring it up."
The officials behind him made way in an orderly manner, and the attendants placed ten congratulatory gifts one after another at the foot of the jade steps.
One treasure chest after another was opened, and there were countless rare treasures lying inside, silk and satin, which were simply dazzling.
The hall was full of discussions, and it was no wonder that this Jin Kingdom must be more than just a gift.
Meng Qing smiled thickly, and said politely: "The Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty has a heart, and someone will give a seat to His Royal Highness the Second Prince first." β
"Yes."
The palace people chose a location for Xiao Chuji and put on a full range of delicious dishes.
"Your Majesty Emperor Xie!"
Meng Qing said: "Recently, there has been no friction on the border between Chu and Jin, I think the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty must have the heart to make friends with his country, I don't know if the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is in good health now?" β
The palace maid poured wine for Xiao Chuji, he looked at the very dignified woman above through the gap, and said, "My father has always been in good health, thank you for your care and concern." When the minister came, the father and the emperor also told the minister one thing, and he must come here to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor. β
"What is the matter that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has personally come to discuss?"
Xiao Chuji raised the wine cup and saluted, "Chu and Jin have always had friendly relations, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so my father intends to make peace with the Great Chu Emperor, and ask the princess of Xincheng to marry into the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, so as to become a good Qin and Jin Dynasty." I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor thinks? β
Meng Fei was on top of the main hall at this time, and when she heard this, she was stunned and said, "Your Majesty! β
The whole hall was in an uproar.
And pro? What kind of moth is the Jin Kingdom doing? Now that the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is old, several princes are like fire and water, and they have already made trouble fighting for the position of the crown prince.
