At this time, Jun Huanqing had already opened the exquisite box containing the fourth birthday gift and took out a book from it...
Book? Everyone in the palace was stunned. Most people were surprised and thought: There are books given as birthday gifts? But a few people thought in their hearts: Is this the relic of Princess Dayuyi again?
Jun Huanqing said with a smile: "This is the last birthday gift that our monarch ordered his ministers to present to His Majesty the Emperor Tianshuo. This book is also a relic of my late grandmother, Princess Yi..."
Again……
really……
Everyone fell silent...
What does Dayu Kingdom want to do? Why did they send these things about Princess Yi as birthday gifts? This is a bit unusual! Everyone couldn't help but secretly guess...
Jun Huanqing continued: "This book is called "Aesop's Fables". The text above was written by my great-grandmother, Princess Yi. It is said that it tells many magical stories that can inspire people's hearts.
, obtain the supreme wisdom and truth given by God.”
"Pfft..." Zhuo Ye almost choked on his own saliva.
"Aesop's Fables"? That Xia Chen actually copied a copy of "Aesop's Fables"? Zhuo Ye grinned in embarrassment, this fellow traveler is really leisurely! But...how did she get so strong?
She has such a strong memory to memorize such a thick book of fables? Could it be that she copied it in the laptop she brought? What was she doing before traveling through time? There are still such books in her computer...
This country of Dayu is ridiculous! It actually made a fable as a birthday gift...
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Lian Qin heard the sound of Zhuo Ye spitting and couldn't help but turned around and asked in confusion.
"No, it's okay." Zhuo Ye quietly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then raised his head pretending to be nonchalant.
Zhuo Ye didn't know that her slightly distorted expression and a few small movements had already been caught in the eyes of several interested people...
"Oh?" Feng Linrui glanced at Zhuo Ye seemingly casually, then turned his gaze back to Jun Huanqing and said with a raised eyebrow, "Is it the autographed letter from Princess Yi? This gift is so precious!"
Unexpectedly, Jun Huanqing smiled regretfully and said: "Unfortunately, except for the four words 'Aesop's Fables' on the cover, which are written in the familiar characters, the other words in the book are
No one knows them. According to legend, the great grandmother, Princess Yi, only read the content of this book to the ancestor of King Yi. After the death of the ancestors of King Yi and his wife, no one in Dayu Kingdom could understand the content of this book...
"
When the ministers and nobles in the hall heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then a trace of anger arose in many people's hearts. What does Dayu Kingdom mean? Of the four congratulatory gifts, only the one called "Eternal Tears"
Apart from the fact that the gems are quite pleasing to the eye, everything else is a problem! A few dolls were sent, and Tianshuo’s subjects were asked to tell their names and meanings! A treasure harp was sent, but no one knew how to play it!
And no one can understand this so-called Princess Yi's handwriting! Isn't this deliberately playing tricks on people?!
The envoys from other countries looked even more excited about the good show.
Above the main hall, only a few people looked thoughtful...
Zhuo Ye secretly muttered in his heart, no one can understand the text in "Aesop's Fables"? Is it an English version? Or was it translated into Japanese, Russian, or other languages by Xia Chen?
Feng Linrui's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled calmly: "Prince Min, the purpose of King Dayu's congratulatory gift is the same as that of 'playing the musical instrument'. I hope to find someone in Tianshuo who can understand this text?"
"
"I, Lord Dayu, do have this intention!" Jun Huanqing smiled and nodded.
"Okay!" Feng Linrui nodded, but instead of accepting the "player", he said that he would send someone to find some capable people who could understand this book. He just said lightly: "How many people from your country are there?"
This kind of congratulatory gift is very suitable for me, and I also ask King Min to convey my sincere gratitude to the King of Dayu!" After saying that, he ordered people to collect the "Aesop's Fables" handwritten by Princess Yi.
Feng Linrui and Jun Huanqing said a few more polite words about the hope that the two countries could forever form a friendship, and then Jun Huanqing returned to the table.
Uh? It's over? Now it seems that she has indeed overthought it... Zhuo Ye's little heart finally fell completely back into his stomach...
But soon, her heart suddenly picked up again!
Because as soon as Jun Huanqing sat down on the seat, he looked at her without hesitation, and his eyes full of meaning were really unforgettable...
Zhuo Ye's facial expression suddenly froze, and after a while, he looked away from Jun Huanqing blankly...
Just this look from Jun Huanqing successfully made Zhuo Ye lose his appetite at the next banquet...
It also successfully made some men at the banquet change their expressions...
Feng Lince's handsome face darkened and his thin lips pursed tightly. Feng Linge frowned slightly, his expression calm. Lian Xiao, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes dangerously and slowly played with the tea cup in his hand...
Feng Linrui was sitting in the upper seat, so he naturally saw the changes in their expressions clearly. There was a glimmer of light in his handsome eyes, and then his eyebrows were raised...
"Zhuo Ye, that King Dayu Min, why is the look in your eyes so strange!" Lian Qin couldn't help but whisper.
"How do I know? I don't know him!" Zhuo Ye said with some lack of confidence.
"That person won't fall in love with you at first sight, right?" Lian Qin joked.
"Fuck you, stop talking nonsense!" Zhuo Ye twisted the piano underneath.
"I'm joking, why are you so cruel..."
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, would you like to have a banquet now?" the Queen asked softly.
Dayu Kingdom was the last country to present gifts. Now, the envoys from various countries, Tianshuo's royal family, ministers, and nobles have all returned to the banquet. It is time to have a banquet.
Hearing this, Feng Linrui hurriedly put away the mood of watching the excitement, smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Queen Chen Ningyan and the eunuch beside her nodded.
Not long after, the palace maids carrying trays filed in, filling each table with jade liquid delicacies. Immediately afterwards, musicians played melodious music, and more than a dozen dancers danced to the music...
The palace banquet has finally begun...
Feng Linrui, several princes and important ministers, accompanied the envoys from various countries, drank and talked and laughed. In the hall, people were drinking and drinking, exchanging cups and cups, and it was very lively.
"Eat! Why are you in such a daze?" Lian Qin saw Zhuo Ye holding up his chopsticks for a long time and just staring at the food. She couldn't help but touch Zhuo Ye with her arm in confusion.
"Oh, okay..." Zhuo Ye responded, casually picking up a chopstick and putting the dish into his mouth, chewing absentmindedly, while still thinking about Jun Huanqing's frightening look just now. She always felt,
Something big is going to happen today...and it's a trouble she can't avoid...
Some of the various programs such as singing and dancing at the palace banquet were rehearsed by the dancers and singers in the palace, and there were also special programs of other countries brought by envoys from various countries, and there were also programs performed by the children of nobles, ministers, etc.
…
Some ladies and ladies who are qualified to participate in the palace banquet have to practice hard and rehearse for several months in order to have the opportunity to show themselves at the palace banquet...
Zhuo Ye didn't pay attention to what programs were performed in the hall. Firstly, she was in a state of confusion and was not in the mood to watch the show. Secondly, she was used to seeing modern tricks and various performances. This ancient dull and monotonous performance
The program is really not attractive to Zhuo Ye.
Therefore, Zhuo Ye had been sitting on the seat, with his little head lowered, putting food into his mouth mechanically and tastelessly, until a loud and harsh voice suddenly sounded in the hall...
