C86 No Time to Pay Attention
At the end of the performance, the ministers presented carefully prepared gifts.
First, it was the crown prince. "Royal Father, I have specially found the number one embroidery lady in the world to make the entire Tianqi Kingdom map.
It had to be said that the crown prince's flattery had hit the nail on the head.
The emperor laughed happily. He cheered continuously, "Good, good, good. Crown Prince, thank you for your consideration."
Which emperor doesn't like these?
[The rivers and the mountains will last forever. These are the words in the emperor's heart!]
The empress answered, her red phoenix robe resonating with the emperor's dragon robe.
"Yang'er naturally wishes for the emperor to be good. I specially found a dragon fish. The gift is not heavy, so I wish the emperor an eternal life here."
The Tianqi Kingdom dragon fish was a symbol of the Son of Heaven, and the dragon fish that the Empress took out should have some years of age, to actually look like a real dragon.
The ministers followed suit, "May the emperor live forever and live forever!"
The empress then deliberately made things difficult for Noble Consort. "Little sister, what gift did you prepare for the emperor?"
Noble Consort had a troubled expression on her face. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand. She … She had also prepared a dragon fish, but if she took it out now, wouldn't she be slapping the empress in the face?
"Your Majesty, chenqie …"
Before Noble Consort could finish, Luo Jianjian spoke up first, "Your Majesty, Noble Consort had a discussion with her daughter for many days and finally managed to find a spiritual herb. Although it can't bring you back from the dead, it can protect you from all kinds of poisons."
As she spoke, a bottle of Pill appeared in her hands.
Master Ling Tian looked at her. Anyone could tell that Luo Jianjian was covering for Noble Consort.
Noble Consort's reaction just now was very obvious. Either something had gone wrong with the present, or she could not take it out.
Noble Consort's body stiffened. How could she not see that Luo Jianjian was helping her?
The emperor's interest was piqued and he instructed Eunuch Cao, "Submit it."
"Yes."
The emperor was still holding onto the Pill in his hand, and said doubtfully: "Jianjian girl, is what you said true? How could a small pill be immune to poisons? "How do we prove it?"
Even Divine Doctor Lin didn't dare to make such a promise.
Originally, Divine Doctor Lin was also in the staff invited, but he thought that he had something urgent and couldn't refuse.
Luo Jianjian felt her heart ache. This was something she spent 10 points on just now when she saw that the situation wasn't right!
Luo Jianjian had no way to prove it. Could it be that she ate it herself before drinking the poison?
Although this could prove it, however … Then, she must take out another one. She only had 100 points left! He didn't dare to spend it again!
"I can prove it." They were all talking about Master Ling Tian.
Luo Jianjian turned her head in delight. "Master?" Master is helping her.
The emperor asked, "Could it be that master has consumed it before?"
"I never used it, but my wife is very sick and everyone knows about it. Divine Doctor Lin also said that my wife won't live for more than three days, but after disciple takes out the medicine, my wife is completely cured and can live for at least another twenty years."
Walla ~ ~ ~
These words had undoubtedly set off a huge storm!
Since Master Ling Tian had already said so, what else could he not believe?
Luo Jianjian actually had such a miraculous pill? Who didn't want to prolong their lives? Who could guarantee they would live a life without sickness or pain? If he had the pill, he would have to get it no matter what!
Luo Jianjian was afraid that someone would think of her, so she 'embarrassedly' spread her hands and said, "But I don't have that pill anymore. There's only one, and it was obtained by chance. This pill may not be as good as the other, but it can cure a hundred poisons, so I can defend myself."
Alright, everyone felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.
The emperor told Eunuch Cao to keep the medicine properly and nodded in satisfaction. "Noble Consort and Jianjian are really considerate."
Noble Consort looked deeply at Luo Jianjian. "These are the tasks that a concubine and daughter-in-law should do."
The words' daughter-in-law 'almost made Yue Qiqi flip the table on the spot!
Luo Jianjian was so eloquent, her ability to curry favor with others!
Originally, Noble Consort had ignored her. Yet, she did this just to curry favour with Noble Consort?
"Mm. Little girl Jianjian is not bad."
Next, the Crown Prince brought the blame to Murong Yun, "Eighth brother, what birthday present did you prepare today?"
Murong Yun didn't even look at him.
The emperor was also curious about Murong Yun's wedding gift. He was very satisfied with all the gifts they gave him before, especially the Pill that was immune to poisons. This way, he didn't have to be afraid of being poisoned in the future.
"Oh? What did Yun prepare? "
Luo Jianjian secretly poked Murong Yun under the table. No matter what, he was still her father, so it wouldn't be good to just ignore him like this, right?
Murong Yun held her small hand and said indifferently, "Ten units of grain."
"Food?" Ten?
The emperor was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue. Food was the thing that soldiers needed the most, the border wars were tight, just a few days ago they sent someone over to report on the lack of food, but the treasury was also empty. The emperor was in a rush because of this.
"Yun, I am honored to have a son like you!"
Even though Murong Yun couldn't kill the enemy, he could still send out 10 stacks of grain. With this much grain, he could at least last the border for two months!
After that came the gifts given by the other ministers.
After the congratulatory gift was sent out, many young masters, princes, and young mistresses prepared their own programs. Some played the zither, others played the flute, and there were all sorts of different styles.
The Emperor couldn't stop being amused by them and was obviously in a great mood.
Luo Yuyan was not to be outdone. She got the Emperor's gift with a melody of "High Mountains and Running Water" and became the focus of everyone's attention at the banquet.
Everyone said that Prime Minister Luo had two good daughters. As expected, they were all crafty, but no one cared about Luo Ke'er.
"Prime Minister, you really know how to teach girls." The Emperor was full of praise.
In this way, the two daughters of the Wu family were even a head taller than Luo Jingxuan.
Luo Jingxuan had a weird expression on his face as he sat with his friends.
"Your Majesty is too kind, this official doesn't dare …" No one dared to act too arrogantly in front of the emperor. Humility was the way to go.1
And then there was the performance, which wasn't very spectacular.
Yue Qiqi saw the opportunity and saw that the Emperor was in a good mood. This was her chance!
Yue Qiqi suddenly spoke up, "Your majesty, this subject has a program that she wishes to present to Your Majesty as well."
Look, it's General Yue's daughter?
He drank a cup of wine and blushed slightly. "It's Qiqi, right?"
Yue Qiqi nodded and looked complacently in Luo Jianjian's direction. From the looks of it, the emperor knew about her as well!
However, Luo Jianjian didn't have the time to care about her. With Murong Yun to peel shrimp, peel oranges, pick fish bones, and pick fish bones for her, how could she have the time to care about anything else?
"What program?" said the Emperor.
Yue Qiqi: "This subject's daughter learned a set of sword techniques at home and wanted to offer them to the Emperor."
It was not uncommon for women to train in martial arts, and the Emperor was interested. "Alright, I really want to see how Qiqi's martial arts is like."
Yue Qiqi was very confident in her martial arts skills. She went up the stage and took the long sword that she prepared. "But Your Majesty, a man with a martial arts sword is not interesting. Can this subject invite someone else to join her?"
