32 032 Statue of the Golden Wolf
Concubine Yu smiled and said nothing, maintaining her unfathomable personality.
Concubine Li pursed her lips, unwilling to believe it in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "It's not a secret to say what birthday gift the crown princess gives, she revealed it very early, and this concubine was also present." β
As soon as her voice fell, countless people asked questions, obviously everyone wanted to know.
"Concubine Li, you just gave birth to the little prince, your qi and blood are deficient, this stewed snow swallow is very good, it is full of blood-nourishing things, take a bowl and taste it." Mrs. Zhong spoke directly, interrupting her and diverting the topic.
obviously didn't want her to say it, no matter whether the emperor liked the gift of the crown princess or not, now sending the head of Qin to pick up people in person proves that the emperor cares about this gift.
Concubine Li will dismantle the stage at this time, it will be absolutely stupid.
In the Hall of Light, Lu Wuji sat on the dragon chair, and there were several rows of tables on both sides of the bottom row, and countless powerful courtiers were sitting.
They are all secretly competing, everyone is full of energy for today's gifts, those who have money to pay, those who have no money to contribute, after all, to show their loyalty as much as possible, for fear of being remembered by the emperor.
"The Crown Princessβ"
Chief Manager Qin's long voice sounded outside the hall, and the hall was silent, and everyone was shocked.
You must know that except for the palace maids in this Hall of Light, I don't know how long no woman has come in.
If you want to say that the last time, it was the emperor and queen who got married, and the queen mother came once, and there was no one else after that.
"Big brother, what is my sister-in-law doing here?" Lu Qingfeng immediately came over to inquire.
Lu Zhao didn't hide it from him: "Give a birthday gift." β
"Aren't you two family? The flying feather bow you just gave me, my father likes it very much, what gift is she giving at this time? Lu Qingfeng was curious.
"It is indeed a family, but when necessary, Lone is the prince of Northern Qi, and she is the princess of Dayan."
Lu Qingfeng was choked by this, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and sneered: "Big brother, others say that the crown princess is so spoiled that she climbed on your head, I didn't believe it originally, but now I believe it." She is here to kiss, no matter how noble the princess is, she is just a trophy in front of you. β
"It's outrageous enough that she built the princess's mansion before, could it be that in the territory of Northern Qi, do you still give her a concubine? No matter how rich Dayan is, it is just a broken household with weak troops, there is no need to give face like this! β
Lu Qingfeng didn't know whether to sow discord or really look down on Dayan, these words were said very politely, full of disdain.
"The face given by the father, you go and tell him, it has nothing to do with Lone." Lu Zhao turned his head to look at him, and said in a serious tone.
Lu Qingfeng was instantly stuck, to be able to come to the Hall of Light to present a gift, it was indeed Lu Wuji who nodded, Chen Xueying could have a chance, Lu Zhao didn't have such a big ability.
But if he wanted to say this in front of Lu Wuji, he would definitely not dare, he would be simply full of food.
He said with a smile: "Since getting married, the eldest brother has been a lot sharper, and it seems that he has quarreled with his sister-in-law a lot." β
The crown princess shouted loudly in front of the palace people several times in a row, "Lu Zhao's big fool", which spread throughout the palace, and Lu Qingfeng naturally knew about it.
After the couple got married, there was no lingering affection, but frequent fights.
Lu Zhao obviously thought of this as well, and his face darkened a lot.
He lost so much face because of Chen Xueying, but she was not ashamed, and she grabbed the handle and kept threatening him.
When Chen Xueying entered the hall, there was a "gurgling" sound behind her, obviously the wheels sliding across the ground, and it must be carrying extremely heavy things to make such a clear sound.
Everyone's attention shifted in an instant.
Chen Xueying is wearing a red skirt with a pattern of ginkgo biloba embroidered with gold thread, red and gold are a classic match, and with her head full of pearls, it looks graceful and luxurious.
It's just that such a delicate and complicated shape doesn't look tacky on her, on the contrary, because of that exquisite face, it's just just the right foil.
Even more striking than she was the fact that she was followed by eight powerful guards, who pushed a large object and struggled forward.
The thing is covered with a bright yellow cloth, and you can't see the inside at all, but you can vaguely outline a little shape.
The threshold of the Temple of Light was extremely high, and the heavy object stopped when it was pushed in front of the door, and the eight guards took a light breath, and the leader shouted slogans.
"One, two, three, up! One, two, three, up! β
All eight of them gritted their teeth, their cheeks bulged, and they all exerted their strength to feed.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but grit their teeth, as if they wanted to help secretly.
I finally lifted the thing up, and when I crossed the threshold and fell to the ground, I only heard a muffled sound of "knock-", as if it smashed into the bottom of people's hearts.
This thing was taller than an adult man, at least a half-human height, and thanks to the wide and tall doors of the Temple of Light, it would not have been able to be carried in.
"I've seen my father, this is my daughter-in-law's birthday gift for you. After the craftsman finishes it, in order to let you see it first, a cloth is specially covered. Please take a look at it. Chen Xueying saluted him.
When Lu Wuji heard this, the expression on his face softened a lot.
"The crown princess has a heart, so let me unveil it in person."
As he spoke, he stepped down from the dragon chair, stood directly next to the tall object, and walked around twice in a special circle.
Everyone was stunned when they saw that the emperor was so interested.
Zhao Li originally looked at Chen Xueying unpleasantly, and had a quarrel with her before, but now he immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, I don't know what is in here, the crown princess is from Dayan, and I don't know the rules of Northern Qi." To be on the safe side, let someone else do it for you. β
Chen Xueying heard the word "rules" from his mouth again, and immediately rolled her eyes.
"What is General Zhao talking about? These eight guards carried this object all the way, nothing happened, if the palace is really bad, can it hide all the way without attacking? Tell me, what bad thing can be so hidden that it doesn't go undetected? She immediately spoke back.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Zhao Li calmly coped.
Chen Xueying sneered: "This sentence is often heard in this palace, but it was heard before from when Dayan Wenchen wanted to negotiate peace, and now it is actually heard in the mouth of a certain general in Northern Qi." It's not surprising to think about it, after all, General Zhao is just a second grade, and he must not be too timid, you see that the general of Changsheng didn't say a word, obviously he is very confident, even if there is an accident, he can protect His Majesty in time. β
"In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is a joke. General Zhao still has to practice martial arts and courage, otherwise he can only spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. β
It can be said that she is now standing in the pile of men, and above this large hall, except for the palace maid waiting in the corner, the rest are all males, or castrated males.
And Northern Qi's contempt for women was extremely serious, at least before she went to the palace, many people despised it in their hearts.
After she went to the hall, countless pairs of eyes stared at her, as if waiting for her to make a mistake, which invisibly increased a lot of pressure.
But Chen Xueying didn't seem to feel it at all, in the face of Zhao Li's suspicion, she didn't flinch at all, and even went head-on, her words were sharp and weird, and she lost Zhao Li by name.
Zhao Li's face turned pale when he heard this, and his body trembled with anger.
is worthy of the sharp-toothed Princess Dayan, and this familiar sense of grievance is here again.
Zhong Hai was quietly observing the crown princess, he had already learned from his wife that the crown princess had a grudge against his daughter, and he just took this opportunity to get to know the crown princess.
Who knows, before he could take a few looks, he was pulled into the battlefield by her, and I don't know if it was because of Li Concubine who was angry with him.
"Crown Princess, please be careful!"
"General Zhao, please shut up, before you spoke, the atmosphere was very good. As soon as you opened your mouth, it instantly froze, and everyone was uncomfortable. Today is the birthday banquet of your father, you are not good at words, it is better to say less, so as not to be self-defeating, just like this moment, it will not end well. β
Zhao Li finally held back a sentence, but he was greeted by a storm, and Chen Xueying's mouth was still so neat.
"Let's not say a few words, I'll unveil it." Lu Wuji waved his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously a little displeased.
He didn't expect that these two people would really dare to quarrel in front of him.
Chen Xueying likes to quarrel, he is not surprised, after all, he saw his daughter-in-law here a few times, she quarreled a few times, and they all clashed with different people.
But Zhao Li was so noisy, he didn't expect it at all.
First of all, Zhao Li is a military general, he is good at fighting, but it is not good at quarreling; In addition, Zhao Li is a big old man, he looks down on women very much, he feels that he can't quarrel with women, and he will never talk too much if he can do it.
But now he quarreled with the crown princess in front of the courtiers, and he refused to give up even if he lost the quarrel, he was a vegetable and fun-loving.
As soon as the emperor spoke, Zhao Li, who was already on the top, instantly calmed down, he shrunk his neck, and hurriedly confessed.
Lu Wuji waved his hand, no longer paying attention to him, but stretched out his hand and forcefully uncovered the silk cloth.
In an instant, the silk cloth flew to the ground, revealing the true face of this tall object, which was actually a golden wolf.
The wolf was in a state of complete leaping, baring its sharp fangs, ears erected, and sharp claws exposed, ready to pounce its prey to the ground, with a fierce face exposed.
"It's made of gold?"
"It can't be all gold, it is estimated that there is only a layer of gold water on the outside, and I am afraid that the inside is cast in copper."
Faced with such a tall statue, everyone instantly began to talk.
The craftsman who created this statue must have been so skilled that even the wolf's hair was carved out to life.
If it weren't for the fact that there are no wolves with golden fur in this world, some people would definitely misunderstand that this is a real wolf.
After all, the expression was too similar, as if there was a real wolf hidden inside.
Hearing someone question the gold content of this statue, Chen Xueying immediately chuckled.
"I've heard some people question that only the outer layer of this statue is gold, and the inside is all copper. The adults who say this must have seen a long time, but everyone who has used silver coins should know that gold ingots of the same size are much heavier than silver and copper ingots. Could it be that the adults who are questioning it, have they never used gold? β
Chen Xueying rolled her eyes and mocked unceremoniously.
Suddenly, the doubts in the palace stopped, and in the face of such a strong crown princess, no one dared to speak more.
Just questioned a few words, and was sneered, directly saying that he had never used gold, and those who could go to the Palace of Light to congratulate the emperor were all people with heads and faces, and no one wanted to bear this poor reputation. οΌοΌοΌ
