When His Majesty the Emperor saw that the Queen, Concubine and others all had gifts, but he did not have any, he couldn't help but ask: "Where is my gift?"
Yang Xuan bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, even in public and private matters, I dare not forget your Majesty's gift."
With that said, he walked to the entrance of the palace and shouted outside: "Bring it up."
Then I saw four muscular eunuchs carrying a huge object into the palace with great difficulty.
Because this thing was covered with a piece of cloth, I didn't know what it was for a while.
When the eunuchs put down their things, Yang Xuancai said: "Your Majesty, although this gift is not very valuable, it is very valuable. It can even be said that there is nothing more valuable in the world."
When Yang Xuan said these words, everyone was shocked.
What does it mean to be not very valuable, but very valuable? How can it be valuable if it is not valuable?
His Majesty the Emperor was also amused in his heart: "Yang Aiqing dares to boast about what kind of gift you are giving, and she dares to say that nothing is more valuable than this. I would like to open my eyes."
Yang Xuan grabbed one end of the cloth with one hand, paused for a few seconds, and then lifted it up with his big hand, revealing what was inside.
Seen from a distance, this is a mountain made of colored glaze.
Although it is big, it is not very beautiful, and the rocks on it have a strange look.
On the contrary, inside this almost transparent glazed mountain, there are two characters made of high-strength steel.
Forever.
In the past, colored glaze was very valuable, but since the colored glaze roof of Shengfa Department Store, everyone has known that the colored glaze is artificial. Although the price is still a bit expensive, it is far worse than the previous price, especially in people's minds.
, there is no natural rare value like jewelry and jade.
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly showed a dissatisfied look.
"This is your gift to me? How valuable do you mean it is?"
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please come closer and take a closer look."
Yang Xuan said this, and although His Majesty the Emperor was disdainful, he still snorted coldly, stood up and approached.
Upon closer inspection, His Majesty the Emperor still didn't see anything special, but Wang Daban, who had been following closely beside him, said, "Your Majesty, the carvings on this mountain seem to be ginger."
"ginger?"
The Emperor was stunned for a moment, but then his face became serious.
Such a big, mountain-like piece of ginger has the word Yonggu written on it.
Wang Daman murmured: "This... what does this gift mean?"
"The country is forever solid."
His Majesty the Emperor said these four words in a deep voice, and then said: "Okay, okay, okay, Yang Aiqing is really smart. This gift is precious. Looking at the world, there is no one like her."
Everyone in the entire palace was shocked.
Made of colored glaze, it is a large piece over two meters high and five meters wide, with a ginger in the shape of a mountain and river, plus the word "Yonggu" in the middle, it means "Jiangshan Yonggu".
As His Majesty the Emperor, the leader of the Great Sheng Dynasty, what gift can be more valuable than this?
At this time, the other two contestants were already numb.
They watched Yang Xuan's performance with only one thought in their minds.
It's over, there's no chance.
Even Concubine Du's distant relative felt that there was no hope of being elected.
Both the Queen and the Emperor were extremely satisfied with the gifts given by Yang Xuan, coupled with his status.
The two of them introduced themselves as "Xiaomin", while Yang Xuan introduced himself as "Chen".
His Majesty the Emperor even speaks like Yang Aiqing. How the hell can this be compared?
But even so, the process still has to go.
Next comes the discussion and voting sessions.
That's right, it's voting. So many people here have the right to vote.
Of course, the final decision lies with His Majesty the Emperor. After all, he is the Emperor and he has the final say.
The result of the voting, without any doubt, was Yang Xuan.
Even Concubine Du Guifei voted for Yang Xuan.
After all, under this situation, it would be a bit too deliberate for her not to vote for Yang Xuan.
There was no need for her to offend a consort for such a hopeless matter.
What's more, this prince-in-law is also a bachelor of the cabinet, with the false title of third rank.
The voting results were announced by the Queen. After talking about the voting results, she also asked as usual: "Does anyone have any objections to this?"
Looking around, no one objected. Just when the Queen was about to say the last words, His Majesty the Emperor spoke.
"I have objections."
Everyone was suddenly shocked. His Majesty the Emperor was fine just now. Why did he suddenly object again?
"Yang Aiqing, although you are deeply in my heart and everyone in the harem voted for you, according to the rules of my Dasheng Dynasty, the consort is not allowed to be an official..."
Before His Majesty the Emperor could finish speaking, Yang Xuan took over: "In order to marry the princess, I am willing to resign."
After saying these words, the Queen's eyes looked at Yang Xuan with a hint of approval.
The other concubines and concubines also had the same expression.
From a woman's point of view, this is a real-life version of seeking a priceless treasure. It is rare to find a lover. It is really enviable for the seventh princess to find such a husband.
But His Majesty the Emperor knows very well that Yang Xuan, this boy may have been holding his thoughts to resign for a long time. It's okay if he doesn't go to court, nod his fingers, or sit in the hall. I will give him the secret box in front of you.
Never used it either.
Now you want to take this opportunity to resign?
Not that easy.
"Nonsense."
His Majesty the Emperor had an angry look on his face: "It is child's play for you to be appointed as an official of the imperial court. How dare you resign from your official position so lightly?"
The emperor was furious and everyone was panicked.
This boy had made His Majesty the Emperor so happy just now, but why did he anger the Emperor again in the blink of an eye? I don't know how the Emperor would react to him.
"Wang Daban, prepare a decree."
Wang Daman on the side quickly took out a pen and paper.
"Yang Xuan despised the emperor's kindness and ordered him to return to his hometown to reflect on himself. He was punished with a salary of one year as a warning to others."
Wang Daban wrote them down one by one and looked at His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor squeezed out two more words: "Mingfa."
"yes."
Then His Majesty the Emperor said: "For Jing'er's sake, I will give you a lighter sentence this time. If you do this again in the future, you will be severely punished."
"My lord, thank you for your kindness."
Yang Xuan's tone was full of helplessness. According to this meaning, he had to continue working.
"snort."
The emperor flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily. Everyone present continued to be dumbfounded.
Now that you're gone, has the choice of the consort been decided?
The queen was also very embarrassed. She did not dare to make this decision for the emperor. She just glanced at Yang Xuan, as if to say: "How did you do this? You immediately angered the emperor, and I can't help you."
"Let's break up. Let's discuss the selection of the consort later."
The queen spoke and everyone had to disperse.
Yang Xuan also walked out. As soon as he walked out of Kunning Palace, Wang Daban who was waiting aside called him.
"My lord, do you have any advice?"
"Master Yang, you have to appreciate the painstaking efforts of the Holy One."
"ah?"
Yang Xuan looked confused. His Majesty the Emperor just gave me a scolding and deducted a year's salary from me. I still want to understand his painstaking efforts?
