C292 Red Beetle Show
Back at the Princess' Mansion, before entering the door, Murong Yun had already instructed Luo Jianjian. Don't tell Lin Zimo anything about her knowing the identity of the man in the acupuncturist's office.
Although Luo Jianjian was unwilling to see the father and son be separated from each other, she still listened obediently and didn't mention anything about it.
Lin Zimo looked at the bronze jar they brought back and frowned. It was unknown what he was thinking as he stared at the jar. After a long while, he finally raised his head and looked at Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun.
"Since you've decided to make use of this Red Beetle to perform at the Emperor's birthday banquet, I must say something in advance. Jianjian, are you ready? "
This red beetle was, after all, an exceptionally ferocious item. Luo Jianjian was slightly perturbed, but she still nodded her head in agreement.
"Ready! However, can we take out a few and let me demonstrate first? "I really have no confidence in this."
Luo Jianjian looked at Lin Zimo expectantly, but she saw Lin Zimo shaking his head.
"There are only about 10 red beetles in this bronze jar, and the huge monster that you all want to show off is just the right amount. The Red Beetle inside this bronze jar had been starving for a long time, and this was under the premise that it was exceptionally fierce. Practice, it was impossible. As long as I take it out, it will have no secondary uses. "
It wasn't that Luo Jianjian didn't know about this, she just couldn't help but be nervous. Lin Zimo continued to explain the things she needed to pay attention to when releasing the red beetle.
Although she couldn't practice with real red beetles, Luo Jianjian still practiced with other harmless red beetles a few times, just in case.
It was soon the day of the Emperor's birthday. Luo Jianjian, dressed in her best attire, entered the palace with Murong Yun.
Today's birthday banquet was full of people from the royal family, but Master Poison still appeared out of the blue. Master Poison stood by the emperor's side, looking like he was someone who deserved the limelight.
However, it was obvious that the Emperor couldn't leave him now.
Even though it was an unsightly scene, Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun were glad that Master Poison was present. Otherwise, their performance would have lost half of its meaning.
When Mu Zhaoyang saw Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun appear, he sneered and went up to look for trouble.
"Eighth Prince!"
Mu Zhaoyang stopped Murong Yun and walked towards him proudly. Murong Yun looked at him coldly and did not react.
"Eighth Prince, you actually didn't bow when you saw this crown prince? Although we are both princes, I am the crown prince. Apart from this, I am also your superior in military affairs. With this military seal in my hands, you will take charge of military affairs for me. If you do not greet them, you will be punished! "
Mu Zhaoyang said fiercely. Luo Jianjian could feel Murong Yun's anger rising up and pressing down on his arm.
"That's right, Eighth Prince. We should pay our respects to the crown prince."
Luo Jianjian gestured at Murong Yun. Right now, she didn't care that much about Mu Zhaoyang. Murong Yun gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Then, he slightly bowed towards Mu Zhaoyang.
Seeing that he had succeeded, Mu Zhaoyang's smile became even wider. He only wanted to disrespect Murong Yun in front of Luo Jianjian, so that Luo Jianjian would give him a good look.
However, Luo Jianjian completely ignored him. After saluting, she deliberately pulled Murong Yun's hand and left.
Mu Zhaoyang looked at the intimate relationship between Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun and was angry, yet he could not do anything about it. He could only sit beside Prime Minister Luo and try to curry favor with him.
The birthday banquet started soon after. Luo Jianjian was the third person to go on stage. In front of them was nothing more than dancing and gifts. There was nothing new about it, so the emperor wasn't very interested in it.
In this Tianqi Kingdom, everyone knew that Fourth Miss, who possessed the Prime Minister's Mansion, was very strange and extraordinary.
Seeing that Luo Jianjian was going to perform, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but widen. The others were also waiting to see what novelty this Luo Fourth Miss could come up with.
"Your servant's daughter, Luo Jianjian, wishes the Emperor a happy life. The Emperor's might shakes the heavens, and the roars of tigers and dragons are meant to celebrate for you. Today, this little girl has invited that Overlord Tiger of the Mountains to howl for the Emperor! "
"Hahahaha …"
As soon as Luo Jianjian finished her sentence, the surrounding people burst into laughter. They all looked at Luo Jianjian with that impossible gaze. Prime Minister Luo was troubled, he didn't know what Luo Jianjian was going to do.
The emperor also had a look of disbelief.1
"Luo Jianjian, did I hear wrong?" You said you wanted to invite the tigers in the mountains to howl for us? "
Luo Jianjian nodded with certainty.
"Your Majesty, you didn't hear wrongly. This little girl really did want to invite a tiger to roar for you." to show how mighty your emperor is, and that no matter how powerful something is, it will still be feared by you. "
"Alright, I'll see what tricks you, a little girl, can play. However, I have already said so much. If you speak big, you will be committing treason against the monarch. "
Even though the Emperor's tone was that of a joke, if the Emperor really didn't satisfy him, then the Emperor would really cut off Luo Jianjian's little head.
Prime Minister Luo was staring anxiously on the side. He only had one daughter, if something happened to her, he wouldn't listen.
"Jianjian!" Stop messing around! Quickly admit your mistakes! "
Prime Minister Luo called out to Luo Jianjian in a low voice. What she said was simply impossible.
"Father, what are you doing? Your daughter still wants to give birth to the emperor." Everyone, please look. Oh, especially His Highness the Crown Prince, you have to be honest... "Watch carefully."
Luo Jianjian specifically told Mu Zhaoyang to be careful. Mu Zhaoyang was laughing to himself, thinking that he was highly regarded by Luo Jianjian.
Following which, everyone saw the eight servants carrying a huge load towards the banquet. The object on top of the load was covered by a red cloth. However, the shape of the object was a colossal object.
Luo Jianjian lifted the red cloth with her hand and everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. A dead tiger was lying on the burden!
"How dare you, Luo Jianjian!"
When the empress saw this, she slammed the table in anger and stood up, glaring fiercely at Luo Jianjian.
"You actually found a dead tiger for His Majesty's birthday banquet today. What's the meaning of this?"
Seeing that the empress was anxious, the emperor looked calm as well. Noble Consort looked even more anxious. Luo Jianjian chuckled and quickly explained.
"Empress, don't be in such a hurry. I haven't even spoken. You've already made your decision."
Luo Jianjian looked towards the emperor and bowed with her hands clasped in front of her.
"Your Majesty! This was no ordinary tiger; this was a Tiger Immortal. However, this tiger immortal liked to leave the mortal body and wander, so he looked like a dead tiger. However, this little girl can bring the Tiger Immortal back into her body, and after congratulating the Emperor, she will bring the mortal body up with her. "
Luo Jianjian's words were getting weirder and weirder, and everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. Only Master Poison frowned.
He already had a premonition as to what Luo Jianjian wanted to do, but he wasn't so sure.
"Good!" Since you're so sure, let's begin. "I would like to see how this Tiger Immortal offers his birthday to me."
