Chapter 0170 The gift that was ridiculed by the group
Ye Rong carefully prepared a gift this time. Among his entourage, there were young people like Jiang Chen and Tian Shao who had been in the limelight recently, as well as talented disciples of Qianlan Nangong like Ling Qianli.
I thought I could show my face this time.
Unexpectedly, Ye Dai was even more ruthless this time. Three of the followers he brought were actually in the spiritual realm. In the past, it was simply unimaginable.
In addition, the gift prepared by Ye Dai, the Huanglong Sea Viewing Map, set the tone as soon as it appeared. The other gifts were just jokes in front of the Huanglong Sea Viewing Map and were not on the same level at all.
"Fourth, what have you prepared this time? It's time to show it to everyone." The third prince Ye Zheng said with a somewhat provocative smile.
Ye Rong felt Concubine Dan's eyes looking towards him, and tried to calm down, telling himself that he could not lose his composure and must be steady. No matter what, he must not lose his grace and lose his dignity in front of the old man and Concubine Dan.
"Sister Dan Fei, the old man is an expert in the world, and I am afraid that he will not appreciate worldly things, so I got something this time, and it is a cub of a saber-toothed flying fox. This thing is very spiritual. Although the Tiangui Kingdom is large, I can’t think of anyone else besides the old man who can cultivate such a fox spirit.”
When Ye Rong said this, even Ye Dai was slightly surprised. He gave Ye Rong a meaningful look and secretly felt a little unhappy.
It can be seen from this gift that Ye Rong has really put a lot of thought into it. Although this saber-toothed flying fox is not a rare and precious animal, if its spirituality can be cultivated and given time, it can transform into a spiritual beast, it will be equivalent to There is a spiritual beast next to him that is equivalent to a strong person in the spiritual realm.
The most important thing is that this saber-tooth flying fox is more spiritual than ordinary beasts when it is a cub. It is very psychic. In addition, it is not big and looks extremely cute. At first glance, it feels extremely lovable. .
Moreover, Mr. Ye Taifu does not have many hobbies. Raising all kinds of rare and exotic animals is his biggest hobby. The saber-toothed flying fox cub sent by Ye Rong is naturally not as valuable as the Huanglong Sea Viewing Map, but if it is compared The old man's hobbies are another matter.
"Ye Rong, this bastard, seems to have undying ambitions. He is so deliberately trying to please the old man. Could it be that he, a prince born from a concubine, wants to compete with me, an orthodox man, for the crown prince position?" Ye Dai does have reason to be unhappy.
Ye Rong's recent performance made him very unhappy.
Concubine Dan saw the saber-toothed flying fox cub presented by Ye Rong. The little thing had round eyes and a fat palm holding a fruit. It was eating deliciously as if no one was around, making it look very cute.
Women naturally like pets. Seeing how cute this little thing was, Concubine Dan also liked it very much and couldn't help but tease it a few times.
"Fourth, where did you find this little guy? He's so cute." Concubine Dan smiled and praised her seemingly unintentionally.
Ye Rong felt happy in his heart, but he said modestly: "This thing was also obtained by chance."
How could he not know that Sister Dan Fei's seemingly unintentional compliment was actually to let him show off in front of the old man.
He felt a little grateful, knowing that Sister Danfei was still kind to him after all.
Although Ye Dai still maintained a graceful smile on his face, his heart felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. Sister Danfei actually looked kindly to this guy Ye Rong, which made Ye Dai feel very uncomfortable, as if it was his beloved thing. , as if it was taken away by Ye Rong.
At this moment, Lu Wuji behind him suddenly said: "The fourth prince, this saber-toothed flying fox cub, is indeed a novel toy. But I don't know what the three people behind the fourth prince have prepared for the old man? Let us people too Open your eyes?"
Lu Wuji knew how to seize opportunities. He saw that Ye Dai was calm on the surface, but he was definitely unhappy in his heart.
Seeing this opportunity, Lu Wuji knew that the time had come to share his master's worries.
You, Ye Rong, are stealing the limelight, so attack your followers. Make your followers look embarrassed, in order to smooth over your Ye Rong's limelight.
In Lu Wuji's view, Tian Shao is just a captain, a person who can't stand up on the stage. Even if he is promoted to deputy commander, he is still a poor guy. How many good things can he get? To take a step back, have you prepared any gifts for the old man? , are all a problem.
As for Ling Qianli, he was a disciple of Qianlan Nangong. His personality was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. He was simply not understanding of the world. How could he prepare any gifts?
As for Jiang Chen, this guy does have some good things. However, it is his first time to participate in such an occasion. He has never seen the world, so he will prepare generous gifts? Lu Wuji also doesn't believe it.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Wuji said these words, Ye Rong's originally smiling face became slightly stiff.
Lu Wuji, who is good at observing words and emotions, immediately caught this detail and guessed that Ye Rong must not have asked his subordinates to prepare gifts.
Especially this Jiang Chen, who has only been in the capital for a short time, would he be willing to spend a lot of money to prepare generous gifts? Absolutely impossible
It seems that I made the right bet.
Sure enough, the eldest prince Ye Dai showed an appreciative look, glanced at Lu Wuji, and said with a smile: "Fourth, you are indeed a good flying fox, and you think you are very attentive. In this way, I have prepared for your entourage I’m also a little curious about the gift.”
Ye Dai's eyes were very vicious, how could he not see Ye Rong's embarrassment. To put it this way, he was naturally trying to add insult to injury and deliberately embarrass Ye Rong.
If Ye Rong really didn't ask his entourage to prepare gifts, it would be a big shame.
Ye Zheng has always had a bad relationship with Ye Rong. At the same time, he is also a loyal best friend of the eldest prince Ye Dai. Seeing the eldest prince speak, he also echoed: "Yes, fourth child, you are so careful this time, there is no way that your entourage will be in vain." Did you start it?"
These words are a bit explicit. But Ye Zheng has always been rude, and others are not surprised by his straightforward style.
Some other princes had nothing to do with themselves, so they were naturally happy to watch their fun.
As for princes, ministers, and the children of princes from all over the country, it is naturally impossible for them to stand up and say anything when it comes to matters between princes. The most important thing is that they are not qualified to say anything on this occasion.
It seemed that the scene was full of laughter and the atmosphere was very good.
In fact, it was the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword that kept greeting Ye Rong.
Ye Rong never expected that the eldest prince would make such a blatant attack. For a moment, the smile on his face became slightly stiff.
Concubine Dan had a delicate heart, and when she saw this, she knew that Ye Dai had taken action to suppress Ye Rong.
Smiling faintly: "Well, the so-called treasure offering is just for fun. The old man doesn't mean to stipulate who must give what gift."
Ye Dai smiled gracefully and said nothing.
But Ye Zheng pretended to be confused: "Sister Danfei, don't be so partial. We have prepared gifts for our entourage, but you want to save money for the fourth child."
These words were half joking and half serious. But they further oppressed Ye Rong.
Ye Rong was very depressed this time. Every year in the past, his entourage did not prepare gifts specially. Moreover, the princes were not so tense with each other, openly making it difficult for each other to step down.
This Ye Zheng seems to be joking, but his intention is actually very sinister.
Just when Ye Rong was at a loss and was about to say a few words, Jiang Chen behind him suddenly smiled softly and said reprimanding himself: "Fourth Prince, I'm really sorry. It's my first time to attend such a grand event. I was nervous all of a sudden. I even lost the carefully prepared gifts.
They all forgot to present it. The old man has high morals and respect. As the spiritual king who protects the country, how can we, the younger generation, not send him a piece of his heart? This pot of wine can be regarded as a piece of heart that the three of us jointly presented.
After saying that, Jiang Chen took out something from behind his back, which was a wooden wine pot. The shape of the wine pot was ordinary. It looked like a wine pot made of ivy, but it looked like it was definitely not expensive.
thing.
Seeing Jiang Chen take out such a wine bottle, Lu Wuji burst into laughter.
The appearance of this wine flask is really terrible. It is worse than the wine flasks in ordinary wine shops in the market. At least the foreign minister will package the wine in a more attractive and generous way.
What is this wine flask? It is vulgar, crude and unsightly.
If this kind of thing were left on the street, I'm afraid no one would pick it up. This Jiang Chen actually used it to hold wine and gave it as a gift to the Protector of the Country, Mr. Ye.
This... this is simply blasphemy.
Seeing the wine bottle that Jiang Chen took out, the expressions of other people present were also very exciting.
Some are sarcastic, some are surprised, some are sneering, some are shaking their heads, and some are in disbelief.
Obviously, everyone present could use the soles of their feet to find out what kind of carefully prepared gift this was. It was definitely taken out of Ye Zheng's body temporarily because he had no choice but to do so.
Maybe, this guy is an alcoholic after all? Did he carry this jug with him to drink from?
"Prince Ye Rong, you have been greatly embarrassed this time. I'm afraid this follower is stupid for wanting to share the master's worries? This is not sharing the worries. This is simply a slap in the master's face."
"Is there something wrong with this man's brain? Where did Prince Ye Rong find such an unreliable follower? Alas, except for the second prince Ye Qiao who may be able to compete with the eldest prince, the fourth prince Ye Rong is still far behind.
Too little."
"Now, I'm afraid even Sister Dan Fei won't be able to excuse Ye Rong."
The people present all had different thoughts, but they all had the mentality of watching the excitement and wanted to see how this farce would end with great interest.
Ye Zheng slapped his forehead and said with an exaggerated smile: "Fourth, are you sure you're not mistaken? This...is this what you call a carefully prepared gift?"
"Haha, it is indeed carefully prepared. This gift is indeed unique and simply bizarre, hahaha." Lu Wuji did not hide his sarcasm at all.
"Fourth Brother, you didn't ask your entourage to prepare a gift, so you just said it. It's not good to bring out such a thing to taint people's ears and eyes," Ye Zheng said again.
Ye Dai, on the other hand, smiled and stood up and said: "Okay, let's just treat this little episode as a lively atmosphere. Sister Danfei, please remove this thing first, otherwise... the fourth child's face will not look good."
This Ye Dai actually pretended to be a good person and sounded like an elder brother who cared about his brothers.
Ye Rong was also slightly surprised. He glanced at Jiang Chen and saw that Jiang Chen seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He didn't care about the cynicism from the outside world.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Chen, Ye Rong felt that Jiang Chen would definitely not take out a tattered thing for no reason. He said calmly: "Brother, since they are all gifts, why should they be withdrawn? There are many things that can be removed just by looking at their appearance.
What do you see? There is a saying, what is golden on the outside is rotten on the inside. What looks good on the outside may not be good on the inside. On the contrary, what is inconspicuous on the outside may not necessarily be bad on the inside.”
Ye Dai was stunned. He didn't expect that this fourth child, who had never been outstanding, not only did not appreciate his "rescue", but also contradicted him.
