Instead, he glanced at the exaggeratedly large box on the carriage.
When ordinary people send wedding gifts, they all dress up in a very festive way.
Or cover it with red silk, or even if that doesn't work, stick a few happy words on it to show happiness.
This black box looks plain and simple, even...because it is too long, it looks a bit like a coffin.
Whoever was present was not a human spirit and saw the problem at first sight.
King Wen's gift was not careless, but deliberately provocative.
He Kun took a look at Li Chen's face, then hesitated for a while, and chose to stand up and said to Hu Kai: "What kind of gift did King Wen send? Do you have a list?"
Hu Kai was neither humble nor arrogant, even a little contemptuous. He cupped his hands and said calmly: "There is only one gift, no list is needed."
He Kun frowned, already a little unhappy.
It was clear that the things sent by King Wen were not good things, but His Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything. As a subordinate, he had to express his dissatisfaction on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince.
He said coldly: "There is no list, but we should have a clear vision. The crown prince's wedding is a great event celebrated by the whole world. Is this how your prince treats it perfunctorily? How can I record this? Is it possible that I
The official recorded the crown prince's wedding, and King Wen sent a black box? What will be lost is your prince's own face."
What He Kun said was very beautiful.
It not only expressed the dissatisfaction of the East Palace, but also embarrassed King Wen.
Li Chen was very satisfied with He Kun's performance.
As expected, Hu Kai's face froze. He only knew that King Wen was teasing the prince intentionally, but he did not want to bring ridicule and contempt to King Wen from the people of the world. In this way, he would not be able to gain the favor if he returned.
So Hu Kai said bravely: "The gift is naturally in the black box. What my prince gave to His Highness is a piece of colorful tiger skin that the prince hunted himself."
Tiger skin?
Li Chen raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Open the box."
He Kun immediately directed the two guards to jump on the carriage and open the box.
As soon as the lid of the black box was lifted, a pungent smell suddenly hit the nostrils.
The two guards were the first to bear the brunt and started retching on the spot.
The bystanders were shocked when they saw this and hurriedly looked into the black box. What they saw was a rotten and smelly tiger carcass.
The tiger was indeed very big, and its body was covered with stab wounds and had several sharp arrows stuck in it. It was obviously that after being killed, it was thrown directly into the black box without even being cleaned up.
Jinling is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. Even if you work hard, it will still take half a month. The weather is hot now. During this half month, the tiger carcass was stuffed in the box, rotting and smelly. You can imagine the appearance and smell.
He Kun was furious when he saw it.
Provocation, this is naked provocation!
If this matter spreads out, Dong Palace may become the biggest laughing stock in the world.
Without waiting for He Kun to have an attack, Hu Kai confidently said to Li Chen: "Your Highness, my prince said that this tiger skin must be peeled off by his own hands, so I simply gave him a tiger carcass and let your highness do it himself.
.”
Li Chen had no expression on his face as he took a step forward and walked down the steps.
It was this step that made He Kun swallow back the words he wanted to say angrily.
If the prince didn't speak, he would speak on behalf of the prince.
Now that the prince made a move, all he had to do was follow.
Li Chen didn't yell, nor did he yell to kill, he just walked down the steps step by step, his eyes as quiet as the abyss.
