Chapter 612 The winding path and the pearl

While Qi Ning was thinking, the Beitang Feng had already finished his song and returned to his seat with hatred, but everyone naturally couldn't applaud and applaud. Then if they mocked Beitang Feng, Dongqi, after all, it would be difficult to be enemies with the Northern Han in the primary school.
Qi Ning naturally ignored these things and clapped her hands and smiled: "The Second Prince has a good voice. If you have the chance in the future, please ask the Second Prince to sing a few more songs."
Beitangfeng clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth, and just glared at Qi Ning coldly.
At this moment, when he saw Linghu Xu coming in from outside the door, he still had a kind smile on his face and bowed, "Your Majesty, I am really rude." When he returned to his seat, he looked calm and calm, as if he had never left the past.
Qi Ning knew that the two old men came suddenly and would never have come to take a look. There must be something wrong, but in my heart, they didn't know why the two men were looking for Linghu Xu.
After Linghu Xu sat down, he smiled and said, "The matter of brocade clothes and wood seems to have been resolved. The emperor's bedroom has no more difficulties. I thank you."
Qi Ning smiled slightly and didn't speak.
Linghu Xu sighed: "There is another thing, and I'll bother you by the way today."
Qi Ning thought to himself that the old man would be finished, but listened to Linghu Xu: "This matter is related to Princess Tianxiang in the despise country."
The envoys of the two countries immediately felt energetic.
This time, both sides came to Dongqi, with the purpose of getting married to Dongqi, and the target was Princess Tianxiang. At this time, Linghu Xu didn't dare to take it lightly when he mentioned Princess Tianxiang.
However, Qi Ning guessed in his heart that Linghu Xu held a banquet today and asked questions in succession, so he should have made arrangements for a long time, perhaps to test the level of envoys of the two countries. No matter what, the banquet tonight may have a great relationship with marriage, and he immediately cheered up.
Prince Yu had already smiled and said, "Prince, is it that the princess has any difficult problem?"
Linghu Xu clapped his hands and saw a servant coming in with a brocade plate and kneeling in the hall. Linghu Xu got up and lifted up the yellow brocade covered with it. Everyone felt that they could see a white jade bead on the brocade plate, which was crystal clear and white as snow under the lights.
Everyone present was a member of the officials. When they saw many treasures, they could naturally recognize it at a glance.
Linghu Xu smiled and said, "This is the bead of the bead of the bead of the bead, which is the treasure given to Princess Tianxiang by the emperor." After making a gesture, the servant sent Jinpan to Prince Yu first, and then to Qi Ning. Qi Ning took a look. The quality of the bead was naturally impeccable, but he saw a fine hole the size of a needle hole on the side of the bead, which was a bit strange. Linghu Xu had already explained: "As the name suggests, there is a small passage like hair inside this bead, and the nine-curve circumcision is extremely rare."
Prince Yu nodded and said, "I guess before this pearl was made, there was a wonder in this jade, and it was difficult for human power to carve such a small hole."
"Yes." Linghu Xu said: "These nine-curved paths are made naturally and not made by humans." He smiled slightly and stroked his beards, "Princess Tianxiang likes this treasure very much. The curved path ghost pearl has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. Si Tianya advised the princess that if the winding path ghost pearl can be hung on the head of the bed, it will definitely be a good sign for the princess." He sighed and said: "But no one can penetrate the secret path inside the pearl with silk thread. The princess is worried. How can the emperor bear it? I learned about this matter and asked this treasure in my hand and wanted to find a solution, but after a few days, I used many methods, but it still couldn't solve it." After looking around, he said: "The prince, the waiter of Jinyi, I don't know if he can help the princess solve this problem?"
Qi Ning was thinking, and Prince Yu obviously knew that this issue was related to the marriage situation, and he also thought about it. However, the officials present whispered and whispered in a low voice. Many people shook their heads, thinking that it was so delicate and that it was twisted and twisted inside, and it was impossible to pass the silk thread through it.
Linghu Xu gently stroked his beard and slowly returned to his seat without saying a word. There was silence in the flower hall.
Prince Yu frowned and thought hard, obviously unable to think of a way for a moment. Ling Hu Xu glanced at Qi Ning, saw Qi Ning's brows stretching out, and asked with a smile: "Did the Jinyi Hou think of a way?"
Qi Ning bowed and said, "Prince, I don't know if it will succeed, but you can give it a try."
Linghu Xu immediately said: "As long as there is a way, you can try it. This is very difficult. Jinyi Hou, what method do you have?"
Qi Ning said: "Prince, can you help me find an ant?"
"Ants?" Everyone looked at each other, thinking that they were going to find the ants at this time, but Ling Hu Xu obviously did not come back to his senses, but still ordered people: "Look for a few ants to come."
Qi Ning said: "There is naturally honey in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Can someone bring a small bowl of honey?"
Linghu Xu immediately sent someone to get honey. Most of the people present could not understand Qi Ning's intentions. Prince Yu pondered slightly, as if he understood something, and sighed: "Gao Ming, Gao Ming, Jinyi Hou was young and smart, and quick-witted, which is indeed admirable."
Everyone heard Prince Yu say this, and knew that Prince Yu already understood what was going on, and looked at each other.
Not long after, the honey was taken over first, but Qi Ning had already picked up the bead of the winding path and looked carefully. There were a small hole on both sides of the bead of the winding path, which was naturally the exit and the entrance, but there was a winding path that was winding, not straight. He looked carefully and saw that someone had already caught a few ants.
Qi Ning dipped a little honey with his fingertips, gently applied it to the edge of one hole, and then asked someone to tie it with silk thread to the ant. The ant was small, so naturally he had to be careful. Everyone did not make any noise. Looking at Qi Ning quietly, Qi Ning placed the bead of honey coated honey on the brocade plate. Then he used his fingertips to pick the ant tied by the thin thread, put it on the other hole, and gently guided the ant into the fine hole.
At this moment, Linghu Xu and Prince Yu couldn't help but approach, and many officials around him also surrounded him and stared at the beads of the winding path.
After a while, someone shouted, "It's out, it's out!" Everyone could see clearly that the ant really emerged from the outlet coated with honey. It had silk thread tied on it, and naturally brought it out. Many people couldn't help but show joy, and some even gave a thumbs up and praised it.
Beitangfeng couldn't help but come to watch. When he saw the ant coming out with silk thread, he heard many people praise Qi Ning and couldn't help but whisper: "A little trick of carving insects." But he didn't dare to say loudly, so as not to be heard by Qi Ning. However, he also understood in his heart that this seemed simple, but if he wanted to come up with this method, he was afraid that he would never be able to do it in his life.
Linghu Xu exclaimed: "House of Jinyi is really brilliant. If he does not have extraordinary talent, he will never be able to think of it."
In fact, at the beginning, many officials from the East Qi saw that the Chu envoy was so young, and thought that Qi Ning knew that it was because of the Jinyihou, but now they all knew that the Chu sent this young marquis as envoy to Dong Qi, which was obviously not a random decision.
"The imperial edict is here!" Everyone was admiring themselves, and suddenly heard a voice from outside. They saw three people coming in from outside the door, two guards on the left and right. In the middle was a liaison housekeeper Gao holding the imperial edict. Linghu Xu and the officials of Dongqi immediately came forward one after another. Linghu Xu came forward and knelt on the ground. Other officials of Dongqi were also kneeling down on the ground. Prince Yu and Qi Ning looked at each other. Both of them were not ministers of Dongqi, so they naturally would not kneel down to the imperial edict of the king of Dongqi, but they still came forward and bowed slightly to express respect.
The Tongshi Houseman glanced at Linghu Xu, but he asked respectfully, "Prime Minister, are the envoys of the Northern Han and Southern Chu countries here?"
Linghu Xu immediately said: "Eunuch Chen, Prince Yu of Northern Han and Jinyi Hou of Southern Chu are all here to visit."
The clerk of the public affairs house nodded with a smile, then opened the imperial edict and said, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor issued an edict saying, "The envoys of the Han and Chu countries come to our Great Qi and cultivate the good of the three kingdoms, which is also a blessing for the world. I am very pleased. I am very pleased that the prime minister of the country will lead the envoys of the two countries to come to the court tomorrow. There must be no mistakes. I admire this!"
Linghu Xu whispered loudly: "Old minister obeys the order!" He took the imperial edict with both hands, and then the servant of the public affairs department left. Linghu Xu turned around and said with a smile: "There are many political affairs in these Japanese courts, and this is the emperor summoned them in advance."
When Qi Ning heard the instructions that he would be summoned early in the morning, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that he would have to wait for several days to come to the palace to meet the King of Dongqi because of the rebellion of Mount Tai. Now he was relieved.
Prince Yu said, "Prince, since the emperor of your country will summon him tomorrow, it should not be too late tonight. I will say goodbye first and go back to prepare."
Linghu Xu nodded and said, "It's good. Prince, don't be surprised if you don't treat it well."
"Where are you talking, what are you talking?" Prince Yu smiled and said, "After entering the morning meeting, if the prime minister has free time, we will only stop drunk."
Linghu Xu laughed and said, "Prince, let's make a decision first."
Prince Yu didn't say much, bowed and said goodbye, leading Beitangfeng and others to leave. As soon as they left the flower hall, Gong Zhaxi had already come forward and bowed to Linghu Xu with his hands together. Linghu Xu said, "Master, don't be anxious, we will do our best in this matter."
"Thank you!" Gong Zhaxi didn't say anything nonsense and said goodbye.
When Qi Ning saw Prince Yu bringing people away, he also wanted to go forward to say goodbye, but Linghu Xu whispered: "Little Marquis's time later." The other officials knew that it was useless to stay, so they all stood up to say goodbye. Linghu Xu sent everyone out, and then came over and said to Qi Ning: "Little Marquis, please speak." He led the way forward and led Qi Ning to a small elegant hall next to the flower hall, and then had someone come to tea again.
"Little Marquis, Mr. Zhuo Qingyang and Mr. Zhuo has always been good?" After sitting down, Linghu Xu asked straight to the point: "I heard that the little Marquis and Qionglin Academy have a deep friendship. Jinghua Book Club is the place where Qionglin Academy appears. When I am on an envoy, I wonder if Mr. Zhuo has a letter to ask you to bring it here?"—
