The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 229
Chapter 230
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two wooden boxes with exquisite buckles on them.

Bai Jingyi was also very curious about what good things this eldest grandson's family could give him, and then he said, "Open it!"

After the female guard took the order, she nodded slightly and stretched out her hand to open the wooden box sent by the secretary Cheng Su Quan. After opening, there was a piece of jade carved with a unicorn inside.

Such treasures can only be given to the prince, and ordinary officials are not even qualified to collect them.And this jade unicorn should be newly made.

Judging by its fineness, it is at least worth hundreds of copper coins, which is definitely a big deal.

A mere sixth-rank official sent such a precious gift. This eldest grandson Wuji is a minister of the state, what a precious gift he should send.

Everyone's eyes moved with the female guard's hand, and finally saw that the wooden box was just a token that didn't know what to do.

Cheng Yaojin picked up the token and looked it over, and said with a chuckle, "That old bastard could not have carved it himself! I haven't seen what this token is for!"

Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "If you don't know, then throw it away! It's useless anyway!"

Li Jing said: "No! Even if this thing is not expensive, I still don't know its function!"

"And it can be sent as a gift, it must not be so simple!"

Hearing this, Bai Jingyi said indifferently: "Even if this thing is useful, would I still use it!?"

Both Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin were taken aback. When they were in Liangzhou, Changsun Wuji lived in the ruins like a bereaved dog. The feud between them could not be resolved with just a few words.

At this time, another female guard came in and reported to Bai Jingyi: "I want to report to Major General, there are many adults asking to see you outside the door! The alley is already full of carriages!"

The corner of Bai Jingyi's mouth twitched, he really didn't understand what these people were doing here at this time, they couldn't be here for a meeting!
Then he waved his hand directly and said, "No, no!"

The female guard immediately turned around and left. After accepting the congratulatory gifts from these adults, these people left here directly.

Li Er's team is also about to arrive at the White Mansion. Looking at the carriages of the dignitaries in front of him, he thought in his heart: "Hmph! Everyone is well-informed!"

"However, it's good to do it this way, so that everyone will think that I want to use Bai Jingyi again, so that the family members will spare no effort to help Bai Jingyi!"

"In this way, the strength of the aristocratic family can be directly consumed, and the five surnames and seven Wangs will be dealt with directly at that time!"

At the same time, the female guard from the side courtyard came in and cupped her hands to Bai Jingyi and said, "Report to Major General, the banquet is ready! When will the banquet begin!"

On the other hand, Cheng Yaojin said with a quack smile, "Quack quack! Open now, open now! I was so hungry that I didn't see Yuchi Dasha!"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's anxious look, Yu Chigong snorted coldly and said, "You old man depends on me for everything!"

However, Cheng Yaojin walked forward unhurriedly, without even looking back.

Just as he was about to enter the banquet hall of the side courtyard, he happened to meet Wang Chen and Wang Gui who had returned from a walk.

The two of them hurriedly cupped their hands to Cheng Yaojin and the others and said, "I have seen Duke Lu, Duke E, and Duke Wei!"

Cheng Yaojin quacked with a smile and said, "Quack! Unexpectedly, there are still people coming to Baifu for dinner!"

While talking, several people walked into the banquet hall together.Just when I walked into the banquet hall, I happened to see Hou Junji and Du He.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Bai Jingyi waved and said, "Let's serve the food!"

A group of maids directly brought up plates of dishes that wafted with fragrance. Looking at the delicious dishes, all the people present couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

However, when they saw it clearly, all of them lost the desire to eat.

Because all the dishes on the table are carp, even the soup in the middle is carp soup.

Wang Chen, Wang Gui, Du He, and Hou Junji were still somewhat prepared, but Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Li Jing's faces paled instantly.

Although Bai Jingyi said it was for fish soup, he didn't expect it to be carp soup.

"This, this, this." Yuchi Gong pointed at the dishes on the table and was speechless.

Cheng Yaojin said with an ugly expression: "Nephew Bai Jiaxian, why did you bring those carp back! This is a felony!"

Li Jing remained silent, after all, the prospective son-in-law in front of him is someone who enjoys the Holy Spirit pouring wine, so it shouldn't hurt to eat some carp.
Yuchi Gong stood up and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Cheng Yaojin, and said: "Yuchi Dasha, sit down first!"

Bai Jingyi said flatly: "This is all given to me by the Holy One, why can't I eat it!?"

However, at this moment, the female guard suddenly came in and reported, "Sign up to the Major General! The holy driver has already arrived at the door!"

Bai Jingyi was a little speechless, but thought in his heart: "This Li Er really has the attribute of eating food, he dares to eat every time!"

The people present couldn't sit still after hearing this. So many people gathered here to eat carp, it's hard to tell.

What's more, the Holy Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discussed together how to prevent Bai Jingyi from rebelling, and now Bai Jingyi invites these people present to eat carp.
However, just as they were about to leave, there were already pattering footsteps outside the door, and at the same time, they heard Li Er's hearty voice saying: "Hahaha! Bai Aiqing, I have already smelled the fragrance of the house outside the door Already!"

Hearing this, Wang Chen, Wang Gui, and Du He's hands and feet were already weak. Cheng Yaojin and other generals were better.

"Squeak~~"

The tooth-piercing wooden door was pushed open, and the hearts of the ministers present seemed to be in their throats.

The person who opened the door was the old eunuch accompanying Li Er, and Li Er said as he walked, "Bai Aiqing received a lot of congratulatory gifts, but I just don't know."

Before Li Er finished speaking, he saw the group of people in the room.

A thought suddenly popped up in Li Er's mind: "Could it be that those congratulatory gifts were all given by these people!?"

The ministers present hurriedly bowed to Li Er and said, "See Your Majesty!"

I don't know when, a fine layer of sweat has risen on the forehead. After all, it is a crime of disrespect for not going out to meet the holy car. Now that they are found to eat carp, wouldn't it be an extra crime!
Li Er said with an ugly face: "Excuse me!"

Bai Jingyi smiled faintly and said, "The Holy One is finally here!"

Li Er ignored the ministers in front of him at all, and sat down beside Bai Jingyi and said, "I heard that you want to eat carp! Naturally, I came to see it in person!"

"See you today, Bai Aiqing really dares to eat carp!"

Listening to Li Er's words, the faces of these people present were instantly ugly, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Their minds went blank, and Bai Jingyi's words always echoed: "This is the carp bestowed by the Holy One!"

But now, listening to the words of the Holy Majesty, this carp is obviously not a gift from the emperor.
