On Emperor Nanxiang's birthday, Liuye not only presented birthday gifts from his country, but also said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have also prepared a birthday gift for your majesty. I hope your majesty will accept it."
Emperor Nanxiang smiled and said: "The concubine is so kind to you. She traveled thousands of miles and brought so many gifts."
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Bring it up!"
Emperor Nanxiang thought there was no one, but he knew that all he brought were his imperial guards, their hands were all chained, and he frowned and asked displeasedly: "Concubine, what is this?"
meaning?"
Liu Ye asked coldly: "I also want to ask your Majesty, what is going on? Why did the Imperial Guards on Nanxiang Road rob and kill us on the way?"
Emperor Nanxiang was already suspicious, but when he heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. He glanced at Nanqiang unhappily and said with a smile: "There may be a misunderstanding. I asked them to hunt down some deserters.
Hei didn't see it clearly, so please forgive me, Concubine Taisun. There are many precious herbs in our country's treasury. If Concubine Taisun doesn't dislike it, can you just pick three of them?"
Xiao Jiyan on the side advised: "Sister-in-law, forget it! I really didn't expect that Nanxiang was so poor. King Youxuan's first offer was the five-bead herbal medicine. It's really disappointing that an emperor can't compare to a prince.
I remember the last time I asked for medicine for you, I took away three precious herbs from the Yongwei Marquis Mansion, one of which was a thousand-year-old ginseng!"
Emperor Nanxiang's face was tarnished by Xiao Jiyan. If he did not compensate, Nanqiang not only took away the grandson of Dachang, but also assassinated the grandson and concubine of Dachang. Then he was provocative and might even cause two conflicts.
country's war.
Nanxiang has good trade relations with Dachang now, and the war is just a waste of people and money, so he said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, grandson of the Eighth Emperor. I haven't finished talking yet. In addition to herbs and treasures in the treasury, the concubine can also choose three items."
."
The treasures in the treasury are all worth thousands of gold.
Liu Ye was quite satisfied and said with a smile: "So, thank you, Your Majesty!"
At the banquet, Liu Ye also pretended that she didn't know Xiao Jichen. She didn't refuse the noble master from Nanxiang when he came to propose a toast. Xiao Jichen, who was sitting quietly on the side, frowned.
Just as he was about to stand up, he saw the father-in-law beside Emperor Nanxiang coming over.
He originally wanted to give a reminder, but instinctively thought that she would not be lenient.
Of course Liu Ye would not be soft-hearted. She had already inquired about the precious herbs in Nanxiang, so when she arrived at the medicine storehouse, she directly selected the herbs she needed, and then went to the treasury.
Nanxiang's treasury was also dazzling with all kinds of rare treasures. Liu Ye felt that Qing Ling was more knowledgeable about treasures than she was, so he summoned Qing Ling and asked: "Qing Ling, there are so many things, what should I choose?"
?”
Qingling excitedly pointed to a jade pomegranate tree more than one foot tall and said: "Ye'er, I want that pomegranate tree. Although the pomegranate warm jade on it is not as good as the cold jade in the space, maybe the space can absorb it and can
It’s not that cold!”
Although Liuye is now accustomed to the cold space, cold weather is really not conducive to the growth of plants. After hearing this, Liuye chose the jade pomegranate tree.
Qingling explored this side, then that side, and finally suddenly shouted: "Ye'er, Ye'er, I seem to feel the space stone here, in that box over there."
Liu Ye walked over, touched the box, and asked, "What's in this box?"
The father-in-law in charge said with a smile: "Concubine, are they filled with small, not too expensive things?"
Liu Ye said with a smile: "I would be embarrassed if I chose something too expensive, otherwise my father-in-law would open it and I would just choose two pieces here."
The father-in-law in charge thought that Liu Ye didn't believe what he said, but he was happy to hear that Liu Ye was going to choose among them, because they were all trivial things, and some seemed useless, just little things passed down from his ancestors.
The items have always been stored inside.
If the emperor knew that Liu Ye had chosen the items inside, he would be very happy. After all, relatively speaking, the large items outside were more valuable.
The steward opened the box, and Liu Ye saw that there were indeed some small things inside, but there was a warm jade pendant, and then there was the black stone, the space stone that Qing Ling said.
He flipped through it and said: "Sure enough, they are all small things. But this piece of warm jade is good. I just didn't expect that there is another stone here. It couldn't be the little emperor's grandson who threw it in! Our Zhe'er's favorite
It’s just stone.”
The steward smiled and said, "I guess so! This stone has been left inside forever!" I heard that it had been passed down for several generations, but no emperor could find out what was special about this stone.
So defensive.
Liu Ye took the stone and said to Zhe'er: "Zhe'er, do you want to play with stones?"
Zhe'er happily stretched out his hands and said with a smile: "Mom, I want it! Mom!"
Liu Ye gave the stone to Zhe'er and then asked: "Father, a stone is not considered a gift, right?"
The father-in-law in charge bowed his back and was very respectful, but what he said was stingy to the extreme, "Concubine, according to the emperor's wishes, as long as you take something from the treasury, no matter what it is, you can only take three items."
Liu Ye threw the warm jade pendant in her hand into the box and said to Zhe'er: "Zhe'er, be good, give the stone in your hand to mother, and mother will find a lot of stones for you later, okay?"
Zhe'er held the stone in his arms, covered his red mouth, shook his head and said, "No! I want the stone!"
"Zhe'er, be good, give it to mother!" Liu Ye stretched out her hand and said.
Zhe'er curled his lips and slowly handed the stone over, and then when Liu Ye was about to grab it, he instantly retracted the stone into his arms.
The father-in-law in charge said with a smile: "My dear concubine, since the young master likes this stone so much, it means that this stone is destined to the young master. Don't make things difficult for the young master. Look, the young master is almost crying. That stone is filled with tears."
The look is really heartbreaking."
Wei Xin knew that the little master never played with stones, but the master said that the little master liked it, and if he really didn't want it, he wouldn't give it to Zhe'er, because they all knew that Zhe'er had a special possessiveness about new toys, even if they were "
My good friend, Master Yi'er, will not share it either.
However, the master wanted to go back after giving it to Zhe'er. Obviously he wanted the stone, so he said: "Concubine, please don't make things difficult for me. I like stones the most. Let's choose another big and precious one."
Items are just fine.”
Liu Ye nodded and said, "Okay, give me the biggest jade you have here!"
The corner of the steward's father-in-law's mouth twitched. The grandson of Dachang was indeed as the intelligence said, with a dark heart and a love for money.
He pointed to a jade cabbage and said, "What do you think, Concubine Taisun?"
Liu Ye looked at it and said, "I have to do it! But I prefer Nuan Yu's?"
The father-in-law took out a box from the side. There was a pair of bracelets in the box and said, "This is a rare pair of warm jade bracelets. I wonder if the grandson likes them."
Liuye looked at the quality and saw that it was very good. He nodded and said, "Okay, that's it! It counts as two!"
