Mu Lianlong stopped embarrassing her and continued, "After winning the battle this time, my father was very kind to me, and he even praised Wanru. If it weren't for the thousand-year-old Gu that we got from the top of the snowy mountains in the Western Regions,
Altar, it is impossible to defeat Meng's army so easily. My father said that in order to commend your achievements, I will give you a token." After saying that, he took out an exquisite box from his arms.
You can tell it's expensive just by looking at the box. The box is inlaid with several gems and peonies embroidered with gold thread. It's dazzling and gleaming from time to time.
Seeing such a precious thing, the eyes of everyone present were gleaming. Xia Ziying stood up and quickly shied away: "It can't be done. I'm not a hero and I haven't done anything. I can't take such a precious thing."
After hearing this, the concubine persuaded: "Sister, why are you so ignorant? I don't care whether this thing is valuable or not, but the emperor gave it to you. It is a great honor, and you can't shirk it.
If Long Yan is offended, I'm afraid even the prince will be implicated."
Hearing what the concubine said was so serious, Xia Ziying sat down gently, but she was still hesitant, "Open it first and see what kind of treasure this is!" Mu Lianlong said and pointed the gold thread box toward
Pushed in the direction of Xia Ziying.
Xia Ziying glanced hesitantly, then opened the box carefully, and there was a white jade hairpin lying inside. Mu Lianlong had given Xia Ziying a pair of white jade hairpins before, but they were far behind compared to this.
This white jade hairpin has a uniform texture, as if it is transparent, with a trace of blood-red stuff sandwiched in the middle. When you put it in front of your eyes, you can see that the blood-red thread inside seems to be alive, and it flows slowly and continuously, as if it has something.
Just like life.
Everyone was amazed and amazed when they saw it. Especially Concubine Xiao, who opened her mouth nervously and covered it deeply with her hands. Mu Lianlong suddenly laughed, glanced at Concubine Xiao, and said: "
Concubine Xiao, you must know the origin of this hairpin, how about you tell everyone about it?"
Xiao Ling softened, let go of his hand, and said, "If I read it correctly, this is the famous hairpin made of bloodstone. I think this was the Empress Dowager's favorite hairpin at the time. At that time, my father used to
I told you in front of me that this hairpin is a rare treasure and is priceless."
After hearing Xiao Ling's description, everyone was surprised and looked at Xia Ziying with mixed looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Mu Lianlong continued to laugh and said: "Haha, yes, this is really the Empress Dowager's favorite hairpin.
, called Phoenix Blood. Legend has it that there is a blood flowing continuously in it, and you can be several years younger with it. It can be called a magical thing!"
After hearing the description from Mu Lianlong, everyone was not only envious and jealous, but also wanted to snatch it back immediately. Not to mention how glorious it was given by the emperor, the origin of this hairpin was different.
It's a mortal treasure. If you could possess it, wouldn't you be the happiest woman in the world, and you would have hope for your beauty. Isn't this the wish of all women?
Xia Ziying looked at the phoenix blood in front of her, and suddenly felt a scorching gaze all around her. She suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure, and hurriedly pushed away and said, "Your Majesty, please take back such a precious treasure. Your Majesty's
I understand your thoughts. If you want to give Wanru something, please also send some common things. Wanru really doesn't dare to accept such a precious thing."
Xiao Ling heard this and asked with a smile: "What's going on, sister, did you just tell me the origin of this thing? Are you worried that you are not worthy of it or are you worried that if it is broken in the future, you will not be able to explain it to the emperor?"
After Xiao Ling said that, she looked forward to Xia Ziying's answer. The concubine knew something was going to happen as soon as she heard it, and said quickly: "How could it be? My sister is the most young and beautiful, and she has accompanied the prince through life and death. She is also courageous.
How can you not be worthy? Besides, with so many guards guarding the palace, why are you afraid of someone coming to steal? Sister Xiao Ling, this is wrong!" Xiao Ling was choked by the concubine's words.
After talking, he pretended to cough for a few times and then stopped talking.
In the end, Mu Lianlong came out to smooth things over and said to Xia Ziying: "Okay, Wanru, don't refuse anymore. If you refuse such a good thing like this, many people are envious of you. Isn't it embarrassing for you to do this?"
You are still acting petty."
Seeing Xia Ziying's lips moving and preparing to say something, Mu Lianlong waved his hand and gave him a fierce look. The words Xia Ziying was about to say were stuck in her throat, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
"Okay, just obey your orders. Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Ziying closed the box and handed it to Ling'er who was standing aside. Ling'er held it carefully in her hand as if she had found a treasure.
, for fear of making any mistakes.
Seeing Xia Ziying accept the things, Mu Lianlong felt happy and relaxed the atmosphere. He said: "Okay, dear concubines, our tonight is a day of celebration. Don't be so dull. Come, let's get together."
Drink this glass of wine, and then eat happily. You must be full of wine and food tonight, and go home happily." After saying that, he raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to everyone present.
Everyone dared to disobey, so they all raised their wine glasses and took a sip. Mu Liaolong drank it all in one gulp and said boldly: "Okay, let's eat the food. Don't wait any longer. The food is already cold."
As Mu Lianlong spoke, everyone began to move their chopsticks. Looking at the dishes on the table, Xia Ziying couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Then she remembered that she hadn't eaten since the morning, and she was busy very late last night.
I was already hungry, but now that I saw so many delicious foods, my appetite was aroused. When I heard Mu Lianlong said that I could eat it, I felt ecstatic, and I immediately started to move quickly, heading towards the pickled fish that was closest to me.
In addition, I have been fond of eating fish since I was a child, and my favorite is fish heads. When I was at home, my parents would always give her fish heads to eat, and she has developed a habit of eating them at the dinner table since she was a child.
He shouted, now the opportunity is right in front of him, and with so many people working together, the chance of eating the fish head will be even smaller. As he thought in his mind, he stretched out his hand towards the fish head like a gust of wind, and gave a fierce force
, he clipped off the entire fish head, and then placed it in his own bowl. The whole action took no more than ten seconds. Some people moved slowly. When they lowered their heads and raised their heads, they found that there was only one fish left just now.
After getting down, I looked again and saw that it had entered Xia Ziying's bowl.
Suddenly everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of Xia Ziying. Ling'er on one side also looked anxious, but he couldn't say it in front of so many people, so he stared at Xia Ziying anxiously.
When Xia Ziying was excitedly preparing to use her chopsticks, she suddenly felt hot eyes looking at her from all directions, so she slowly raised her head. An ominous premonition suddenly filled her brain, and she was still complaining in her heart.
: "No, I just eat a fish head. As for making you so angry, is there anything special about this fish head?" Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked and glanced at the eyes around me.
, some were surprised and surprised, and some looked at themselves as if they were watching a show.
Xia Ziying was immediately at a loss, and looked towards Mu Lianlong, hoping to get some instructions, but Mu Lianlong had a very playful look on his face, twitching the corners of his mouth, and using a perceptible expression.
The smile was staring at him.
The concubine looked at it and explained awkwardly: "Haha, just like my sister just entered the palace, she must have not received any instructions. This is really my fault for being careless. I forgot such a thing. It is really a sin."
Xia Ziying stared at the concubine and asked awkwardly: "What...is going on? Is there something wrong with this fish head?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Lianlong burst into laughter. Concubine Xiao heard this and covered her mouth with a smile: "It's not that there is anything wrong with this fish head, but that there is knowledge in it. You, really, it may be true."
I don’t know the importance of this!”
Now it was time for Concubine Xiao to show off her talents, and since she was teaching Xia Ziying, she would not miss this opportunity, so she said, "In our country of Mu, if the whole family eats at the same table, and there is fish,
, then the fish head must be eaten by the master of the house. Even if the master does not eat it, no one can eat it. He would rather leave it than eat it. Do you understand? In my impression, sister Wanru seems to be from the Mu country. Didn't anyone teach her before?
Do I give you these things? It’s really lax in your upbringing, it’s indecent, hey, that’s all, let’s hear what the prince has to say!”
Concubine Xiao's words pushed all the problems to Mu Lianlong. Suddenly everyone looked at Mu Lianlong, waiting for him to speak. Xia Ziying's face turned red after listening to Xiao Ling's words. She really didn't expect this fish
Heads are really very particular. What are these things? Are other people not qualified to eat a broken fish head in this era? They are really very particular. Thinking of this, Xia Ziying felt an urge to explode, and her blood boiled.
The red little face is now blooming with the color of a flower.
Mu Lianlong smiled slightly, put away his playful face, changed his color, and immediately said majestically, "If you don't understand the rules, you won't care anymore, but the rules of our ancestors cannot be broken.
Just give him an appropriate punishment."
Hearing that the prince was going to punish Wanyu, Xiao Ling's eyes suddenly changed. Looking at Wanyu in front of her, she seemed to be waiting for this scene to appear. At this time, Xia Ziying had an urge to hit the wall. Why eat a broken fish head like this?
Such pain, if I had known this, I would not have eaten it even if it was given to me. What kind of stinky rules are these, and I have to punish myself.
But in front of so many people, I couldn't go too far. I could only look at Mu Lianlong eagerly, hoping that he would punish me a little lighter. After all, the incident itself was not my fault. The so-called ignorant person is not guilty!
