Ming Ruo was truly convinced. It was the first time he saw a man in his forties, asking others for gifts with a stern look on his face. Moreover, he was the king of a country, which was probably unprecedented and unprecedented.
Si Haochen stood up unhurriedly and said in a very relaxed tone: "Then Brother He Lichen is a little reluctant to give it away. He also thought that if His Majesty didn't ask, he would take it back to the house."
At this time, not only Emperor Danxu, but everyone here was also curious about what kind of good thing Prince Yun liked so much.
Si Haochen made a gesture, and four eunuchs in azure round-neck robes brought up a large porcelain vat with a lotus pattern painted on it. The vat was also covered with a piece of red silk, so that no one could see the vat.
What's inside.
The four eunuchs put down the porcelain jar, and the leading eunuch lifted the red silk, and saw two big golden fish swimming in the white porcelain jar. Because they had been raised in space well water for a few days, the color was even more gorgeous, which made people feel
I feel like my eyes are brightening.
"This golden arowana was found by my brother from Nanyang. It is very rare." Si Haochen wasted so much time and only wanted to express one meaning - this fish is very precious. If you don't like it, you have no vision.
Emperor Danxu didn't know if this fish was rare, but the name was indeed good, and he didn't find fault with it, so he asked Zhang Jinliang to carry it down and take care of it.
Zhang Jinliang quickly arranged for people to carry the fish tank down. As for the four people who brought the fish up earlier, he did not dare to instruct them. They were the Emperor's men and he could not instruct them!
Afterwards, several more clan members presented gifts. When it was the turn of the Nanrong envoy to present gifts, Mingruo was shocked - a two-meter-long object covered with golden brocade looked like a small boat in outline.
The official of Nanrong's Ministry of Rites asked someone to lift the brocade, and a glittering fish skeleton came into view. Danxu was quite satisfied with the gift. No matter what it was, it was a lot of gold.
Mingruo looked at Yan Zhaobai and said, "It's not worth the money!" Yan Zhaobai had a smile in his eyes and gave Mingruo a reassuring look.
Just listen to the official continue to say: "This is the golden body of a tiger shark, which has the effect of suppressing evil and transforming evil."
Emperor Danxu actually didn't pay much attention to the official's wording and just wanted to put it away. But Ming Ruo understood it.
This golden body of a tiger shark is equivalent to a wolf tooth used to ward off evil spirits, except that it has gold foil on the outside. It looks more glittering, but it is not pure gold. (Yan Zhaobai: No, no, no, it is painted with gold powder. My father dislikes the gold foil.
Too much money...)
Later, Mingruo saw a sincere gift, and the Xikang envoy presented a warm jade bed. The jade material and carving work were of the highest quality.
After the congratulatory gifts were presented, the palace musicians began to play music, and a dancer moved into the hall with small steps and danced gracefully.
During the part of giving the congratulatory gifts, Mingruo had already eaten before everyone else. At this time, she was still watching the dance seriously.
Princess Kang Yi played a zither piece for her father, which earned Feng Muyuan a lot of praise. It was like this - this piece of music should only be heard in heaven, and is rarely heard in the human world.
Princess Kang Yi only smiled politely when she praised Feng Muyuan, and then asked Yan Zhaobai: "Your Highness, Prince Chun, what do you think of Kang Yi's performance of this piece?"
Yan Zhaobai was too lazy to say more and just said: "It's acceptable."
Although Princess Kang Yi was not satisfied with this evaluation, her good looks were a bonus. Princess Kang Yi showed her most gentle and virtuous attitude and slowly returned to her seat.
Feng Muyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not originally laid eyes on Donghuan, the direct princess. But the way Princess Kang Yi obviously liked Yan Zhaobai but ignored him aroused his competitive spirit as a man.
Looking at Yan Zhaobai's arrogant expression, it is even more annoying. Didn't Yan Zhaobai attract Princess Kang Yi with his good looks? He ruined Yan Zhaobai's appearance to see if Princess Kang Yi would still like him.
Yan Zhaobai and Feng Muyuan were seated opposite each other, separated by a hall where people were still playing and singing. At this time, no one except Linglong noticed that a strange bug that looked like both a scorpion and a spider was walking along the red carpet,
Climb to the other side.
This strange bug was covered in blood red, and it was completely invisible against the red carpet.
No one else noticed the movement of the bug, but Feng Muyuan kept watching the natal Gu getting closer and closer to Yan Zhaobai with the corner of his eye. As long as he was bitten by it, Yan Zhaobai's skin would be covered with black spots of different sizes.
.
When the Gu worm crawled to the middle position, Linglong, who was in a predatory state, swooped down like a small cannonball and swallowed Feng Muyuan's natal Gu in one bite. Linglong said, "It's crunchy and delicious! She also wants to have another one."
.
Feng Muyuan had just taken a sip of wine, while still holding the wine glass in his hand, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Everyone in the audience was shocked. Could it be that the wine was poisonous?
The corners of Mingruo's mouth twitched, and she promised it wouldn't be bloody.
Linglong flapped her wings twice: He was too weak.
Seeing Feng Muyuan's face turn gray at a speed visible to the naked eye: Is he really not going to die?
Linglong said confidently: Mom, don't worry, he will only live a few years shorter, and he really won't die. If he has talent and can practice a centipede as his natal Gu, he will be fine.
Mingruo didn't know anything about Gu magic, and just felt that it was not as simple as Linglong said.
Mingruo's thinking was wild and unconstrained, and he asked Linglong a question: Zaizai, if you are eaten by another Gu insect, will I also vomit blood?
Linglong looked arrogant: They don’t dare to eat the Lun family!
Mingruo rolled his eyes: As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there are bugs outside the bugs. Don't be arrogant.
Linglong remained unmoved: If the Lun family eats two more silverbells, they will be immortal. Even if the Lun family eats something, they will suffer from indigestion.
"..." Mingruo decided to water the silverbells in the space more so that they could grow vigorously so that Linglong could become an indestructible body as soon as possible.
Soon, eunuchs carried Feng Muyuan on a stretcher to the side hall for diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor.
Emperor Danxu ordered several poison doctors to come to the palace to check whether the dishes and drinks on Feng Muyuan's table had been tampered with.
The poison doctor made an inspection and reported to Emperor Danxu that no poison was found in the food or drink.
If something is found out, everyone may feel more at ease. This unknown reason is even more terrifying.
Zhang Jinliang arranged to continue singing and dancing, and then put on new dishes. This was a birthday banquet, and it would be a bad omen if it ended halfway.
Although everyone quickly returned to their previous state, no one touched the drinks or food on the table, and only concentrated on watching the singing and dancing.
Feng Muyuan's head was buzzing, and he had no idea how things happened. He could only feel that his life Gu was being swallowed, but he did not feel or see any other Gu.
He was already panicking, but there were a bunch of imperial doctors around him, which made him even more irritated. The accompanying envoys from Xikang were standing by. Feng Muyuan didn't dare to let anyone know that his life Gu had been destroyed, so he had to continue to be treated by a group of imperial doctors.
.
The final diagnosis given by the imperial physician was that King Yuan of Xikang was not poisoned but suffered internal injuries.
