Cheng Jiaxuan answered, and reached out to touch the package under the seat, but this time it was empty. Trying to recall that when he left Yinxue Palace with Shen Shiyun, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he was so forgetful of frolicking with Xuanshuang that he took off the jade horse he was carrying and placed it in a gap in the bookshelf to prevent it from being accidentally broken during the chase.

It was out of an abundance of caution, but when I left, I forgot to take it. smiled stiffly, and said: "This is the slave maid careless, forgot to bring the jade horse, please forgive the mother...... and do not forget to find a reason, and pointed with a crossed finger: "Don't you blame that Li Yijie? He troubles the slave and maid all day long, which makes my heart feel a fire, so there is such a mistake." Niangniang knows that slaves and maids have always been cautious in handling things on weekdays......"

Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Since you are careless, don't blame others for your guilt." No one was born to condemn you. Li Yijie finally heard Shen Shiyun speak a little towards himself, and he didn't know if he was intentionally doing it to set rules for Cheng Jiaxuan, but he still felt a warmth in his heart.

Cheng Jiaxuan said: "Yes, the slave should die." That...... What should I do now?" Shen Shiyun said: "If you make a mistake, try to remedy it, there is still time in front of you, you go back to the palace to get it." You don't have to run too fast, beware of adding chaos in the busy, and if you fall on the road and break the jade horse, this palace is not spared. Cheng Jiaxuan hesitated: "This ...... But ......" twisted the corners of his clothes and looked at Xuanshuang pitifully. Shen Shiyun said: "What's the matter, you still have to go to the palace in person?"

Xuan Shuang jumped up, straightened her long clothes, and said, "I'll also accompany Xiao Xuan." Shen Shiyun said: "You sit down honestly for me! I think Xiao Xuan is not so incompetent that he can't even bring back the jade horse on the shelf." If that's the case, there is no need for this palace to raise her. ”

Li Yijie has mixed feelings in his heart. Shen Shiyun did not show affection even if he treated Cheng Jiaxuan and Xuan Shuang, and he was not targeting himself alone. At most, it can only show that her humanity is really getting weaker and weaker now. If there were no bad roots in our nature, we should not have been so badly corrupted by the environment in just six years. But in his eyes, Shen Shiyun is as perfect as a goddess, to believe that she is a layman who covets power and pleasure, that is to break the beauty in his heart, how can he be embarrassed?

Congratulatory gifts are all priceless, one race over another. In fact, Prince Fu may not really have such a lot of friendship, and the people in the palace are the best at following the trend, seeing that the emperor specially held a birthday banquet for this Han prince, the depth of his favor and trust can be imagined, and he can get more benefits in the future.

Li Yijie knows the way of such officialdom in detail, but he is unwilling to follow suit. I don't want to go along with it, but at the same time, I also have a weak heart. He took refuge in Shen Shiyun empty-handed, and his financial resources did not allow such wanton squandering. The third and most critical point is that he is not a person with good fame and fortune, as the leader of the alliance and the burden of humiliation, he stayed in the palace for Shen Shiyun. As long as you can stay by the side of the woman you love, you will know that you are satisfied, and you don't want to compete for the top.

The birthday gift is coming to an end, but Cheng Jiaxuan has not yet turned around. Shen Shiyun sank his face, whispered a few words to a little servant who came with Yinxue Palace, and temporarily replaced a gift to offer, but he was already annoyed in his heart.

After the congratulatory gift was completed, Prince Fu walked onto the stage under the guidance of several people. Although Li Yijie knows that today is his fiftieth birthday, he is still very shrewd and capable, and he is only thirty or forty years old. There is a heroic fighting spirit on the body, it is enough to imagine that when you are young, you must be brave and invincible when you fight, sweeping thousands of armies, no wonder you are favored by the emperor.

Prince Nafu walked to the middle, hugged his fists and gave a salute to all sides, and then bowed to Shunzhi, and said loudly: "The emperor is laborious and time-consuming, celebrating the birthday of the old minister, and thanking the lord Longen." Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Shunzhi said with a smile: "Prince Fu is too polite, you are a great hero of our dynasty, I wish there were more loyal generals like you in the Qing Dynasty." What's the point of taking more money from the treasury than withdrawing more money?"

Prince Fu said: "How dare the old minister accept the emperor's reward? It can be seen that all the adults who gave the congratulatory gifts have put a lot of effort into collecting a lot of rare treasures, and the old minister really deserves it." I'm afraid that if I go to bed later, I won't be able to sleep well. The emperor and the Qing Dynasty treated the ministers well, and His Majesty the Emperor was even more kind to me, and now I take this opportunity to let the ministers also give the Qing Dynasty a gift, which has since been sealed into the treasury as a treasure of the town. ”

Shunzhi said with a smile: "This matter, Prince Fu, although you have good intentions, you are really a little unruly." There are no monarchs and ministers here today, you are the birthday star, and you accept congratulatory gifts calmly, how can you give gifts in turn?"

Prince Fu said: "Just because that gift has the meaning of a windfall from heaven, it is not the result of the old minister's hard work." Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the treasures that appear in the land of the Qing Dynasty should also belong to the emperor, the old ministers...... I really don't dare to swallow it privately. ”

Lu Qian said in a low voice: "Concubine Yun, I look at this old thing like an old fox." Shen Shiyun said lightly: "Oh, did you just notice it? If he hadn't relied on such a bully, how could he coax the first emperor to see him? He can still manipulate the hundreds of military officials in the court, and he still has some ability. Well, speaking of which, it's your own family, learn a little more. ”

Over there, Prince Fu was already ordering: "Bring it up!" Several family members carried a large box studded with jewels and diamonds to the stage, placed it in front of him, and each stepped back. Shunzhi said: "Prince Fu is in such a big battle. I had also heard that a special gift would be displayed at the banquet, but I didn't expect it to come from the hand of the prince. What kind of treasure is that? ”

Prince Fu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please look at it, it's here." As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the box with both hands and took out a short silver knife from it. The handle is made of a piece of blue crystal. As soon as he came out of the box, he immediately brought a breath of relief, and a trace of cold air came to his face. This sword is so powerful that no one can easily ignore it.

Shunzhi was the first to speak, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really a good knife! I don't know where Prince Fu got it, it's so well kept secret, I don't even know at all." ”

Prince Fu is a person who understands, and knows that the emperor likes his subordinates to be shrewd, but he doesn't want to be too shrewd, otherwise he will be unable to prevent his throne from calculating everywhere. can hide everything without leakage, it is an ability in front of outsiders, but there will be a mustard in the emperor's heart. Busy said: "The old minister also got it recently, all in order to surprise the emperor at the banquet, so that the family members concealed the truth and did not report it, but they did not intend to deceive the emperor......"

Shunzhi smiled: "Okay, I didn't scold you, why are you so nervous?This knife is indeed excellent...... Prince Fu saw that this matter was over, and smiled: "The more sophisticated ones are still to come." Your Majesty, please see—" As he spoke, he raised his palms and clasped them, and two more family members stepped onto the stage. One was tall and strong, the other short and thin. Prince Fu made a gesture, and the thin man leaned down to pick up the short knife, while the strong man held a huge axe, which, after being tested, was made of fine iron. The two walked to the middle of the stage, stood facing each other, and each raised his weapon.

At the beginning of this competition, the difference in strength was too great, and the result was almost unknown. There were also many timid concubines who panicked, blindfolded their eyes with their hands, but they couldn't resist the excitement and watched from between their fingers.

A member of Prince Fu's mansion on the side of the stage reported the number loudly, and as soon as the word "three" fell, the two blades were wrapped in strong wind, and they greeted each other. With a clattering of blades, an object was cut through the air and fell to the ground heavily. When everyone stared at it, it was really unexpected, and it was the iron axe that was broken. And even the other end was affected by the pull, and it couldn't hang on the handle of the axe, and it shook twice, and the handle was broken.

That's not all, what is even more shocking is that the two axes that fell on the ground each showed vertical and horizontal cracks, spreading all the way, covering the entire axe body, with a few crisp clicks, and then cracked into countless pieces along the fine lines. These fragments were also as before, cracked piece by piece, and after repeated several times, not even a wisp of powder could be seen on the ground.

Everyone was shocked for a while, only Prince Fu stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled. Later, he tried bronze, silver, and gold respectively, and the short knife was indestructible, and the weapons that collided with it were all defeated one after another.

Shunzhi was the first to come back to his senses, stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay, good! This is really a treasure knife! Prince Fu, you have given a good gift to the Qing Dynasty! I wonder if the treasure knife originally had a name?"

Prince Fu smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, there is a name, and there was a period of time before, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes was not small. However, just by literally, the meaning is a bit rebellious, in this kind of festive day, the minister doesn't want the emperor to misunderstand something, and the old minister intends to be unfavorable to the court. The name is nothing more than a title, since the treasure knife has been owned by the emperor, please ask the emperor to rename it, which also indicates that the treasure knife completely belongs to the emperor, and it is a metaphor that my Qing Dynasty will always keep the wind and rain smooth, and the country and the people are safe, so isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Shunzhi said: "Why did Prince Fu suddenly become superstitious? Even if it once had a name that shook Kyushu, it was the intention of the old man to deter the world, why should I be a sinner? Besides, you have just made a great contribution, if you have two hearts, then why do you have to make a special trip to give the sword to me? Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Prince Fu said: "It is one of the 'Seven Evils' that has been handed down in ancient times, asking for life." ”

There was another sigh of surprise in the audience. Some of the old ministers in the DPRK followed him as early as when Nurhachi was in charge of the Houjin regime. At that time, they all heard that Shuerhaqi, the prince of Heshuozhuang, was trying to stand on his own feet and seek the seven treasures to usurp power. Later, Shulhaqi was secretly executed by his brother, and the seven evils that had appeared were nowhere to be found, so the matter was temporarily suppressed.

Unexpectedly, after many years, I saw treasures hidden in this place for many years. In particular, this life-seeking slash, as well as the afterimage sword that is also known as it, were once the swords and swords of Shulhazy during the battlefield battle, and ordinary people could not get it even if they wanted to look at it from a distance.

Shunzhi smiled calmly and said: "I see, the name is indeed unlucky, but if you think about it from another angle, the word "life" is the life of the anti-thief and rebellious party, and it has excellent meaning." I am very curious, I don't know where Aiqing got this peerless sword?" he saw that the officials were panicking, so he pretended to be calm to calm the chaos.

Prince Fu said: "The old minister is old and useless, where else can he have such a ability? That is a gift from a young hero to the old minister." ”

Shunzhi cherished his talents, and said, "Oh, can you invite that young man to come here and show me a look?"

Prince Fu said with a smile: "Since the emperor summoned him, how dare he resist the decree? But the old minister just has something to report to the emperor, and I have privately admitted that he has become a righteous son, and I have not yet made it clear to the emperor." ”

Shunzhi smiled: "Quasi-play." This young man's methods are extraordinary, and if he can stay to serve our dynasty, it will be inexhaustible. Prince Fu can find talents for me, this is another great achievement, double happiness is coming. ”

Prince Fu said with a smile: "Then the old minister will thank the emperor for Xiao'er." He whispered a few words to the family beside him, and the man took the order.

Lu Qian frowned and said, "It's strange, it's weird, is that really a life-seeking slash?" How could it be in the hands of that old fox?"

Shen Shiyun said: "Although this palace has not seen the killing slash with my own eyes, from the perspective of utility, it should be genuine. ”
