The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Judging from Zhou Qingxu's appearance, he vowed not to give up until he gave the serow to Helian Kingdom.

This can be very clearly concluded that he intends to humiliate Helianguo.

If no one knows the serow, it shows how incompetent the prince of Helian Kingdom and the ministers in the court are.

When Zhou Qingxu brings this news back to Dongling Kingdom, the king and courtiers of Dongling Kingdom will definitely laugh at Helian Kingdom, and the people of Dongling Kingdom will also think that Helian Kingdom is incompetent.

Maybe, this incident will make Da Shuo and Zhao Guo suspicious of Helian Guo.

Zhou Qingxu wanted to step on He Lianguo's face and rub it on the ground.

He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu saw Zhou Qingxu's little thoughts very thoroughly. They stood side by side, their eyes full of sarcasm. Looking at Zhou Qingxu was like looking at another clown.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Lord Helian had a panoramic view of the expressions of the courtiers below. When he noticed that He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu looked disdainful towards Zhou Qingxu, he knew that the two of them might have known what the four-faced figure was. things.

Seeing that Zhou Qingxu was still talking endlessly, Helianjue became a little impatient.

"Does Ambassador Zhou insist on giving this thing to Helian Kingdom?"

"That's natural. Helian Kingdom is the largest country in terms of land area today, and only Helian Kingdom is worthy of this Qilin."

Helian Jue asked with a serious face: "Master Zhou, are you sure this is Qilin?"

"Of course we know each other, because the characteristics of this creature are very consistent with the records of Qilin in ancient books." Zhou Qingxu said with confidence. It was not that he was sure that this thing was Qilin, but that he was convinced that no one in the Helian Kingdom could recognize Qilin. .

His behavior was clearly making everyone present look like fools.

Since he wanted to humiliate himself, there was no need for Lord Helian to save face for him. Slapping him in the face would be equivalent to slapping Dongling Kingdom in the face.

Among the people present, there were also two envoys from Dashuo and Zhao.

They must not let the two of them see Helianguo's jokes, otherwise, these two countries will definitely despise Helianguo.

It is difficult for a country that is despised to convince others, and it is also difficult to intimidate other countries.

Thinking of this, Helian Jue sneered unconsciously.

"Since Zhou Envoy keeps saying that the four-faced thing looks like a unicorn, then I will ask someone to tell you personally whether this thing is a unicorn or not."

His eyes fell on He Lianhuan.

He Lianhuan met his eyes and secretly indicated with his eyes that He Lianhuan should choose Gu Wangshu instead of him.

Helianjue understood it, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Wangshu, and he asked her silently.

Gu Wangshu nodded slightly, indicating that he did know.

Only now did Helianjue feel relieved.

He has always been very reassured about Gu Wangshu. This woman is not only outstanding, but she has also seen time and has many wonderful ideas in her mind. Since she nodded, it means that he really knows what that thing is.

Helianjue made up his mind to pay attention, but he still pretended to do so.

Just listen to him:

"To be fair to Envoy Zhou, I actually know what this thing is. Not only do I know, but all the ministers of Helian Kingdom know what it is. Even the ladies in the boudoir who never leave the house know what it is."

Zhou Qingxu: "..."

He didn't know that Helian Jue was so good at bragging.

Even Da Shuo and Zhao Guoda's envoys didn't believe it, and looked at Helian Jue with uncertainty on their faces.

"Perhaps Ambassador Zhou doesn't believe it, so I will find someone to tell you what this thing is called now."

"Gu Wangshu, tell everyone, what exactly is this thing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes towards the Gu family.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Wangshu remained dignified and unshakable.

She walked out, first saluted Helian Jue, then turned to face the strange man, and said to Zhou Qingxu:

"Master Zhou said that he is sure that this thing is Qilin, right?"

"Yes!" This was a word, and Zhou Qingxu said it through gritted teeth.

He still remembers how Gu Wangshu played a trick on him a few months ago. He can remember the plot for the rest of his life, and his hatred for Gu Wangshu will never subside.

He didn't care whether he hated Gu Wangshu or not. She had a slight smile on her face, dignified and majestic.

"Then, Master Zhou, can you tell everyone present what the characteristics of Qilin are?"

Zhou Qingxu said emphatically: "The characteristic of Qilin is that it has horns on its head, and it looks different. If you look at this species, it has horns on its head, and it doesn't look like anything. So we can conclude that it is Qilin. Do you think this is correct?"

Zhou Qingxu began to gather the courtiers around the cave, especially Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan. After listening to Zhou Qingxu's words, these two people actually felt that it made sense.

Gu Wangshu couldn't help but laugh.

"Master Zhou's assertion is too arbitrary, isn't it? As long as it has a bark, it is a unicorn? Rather than saying that this thing is a unicorn, I think it looks more like an antelope."

Gu Wangshu's words immediately silenced everyone present. They carefully looked at the things in the cage, and they found that they were indeed closer to the image of an antelope.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Qingxu was about to defend himself, but was interrupted by Gu Wangshu.

"Since Mr. Zhou can't tell you the specific characteristics of Qilin, let me tell you."

"Kilin is a mythical beast that symbolizes auspiciousness in myths and legends. It is shaped like a deer, with horns on its head, scales all over its body, and a tail like an ox's tail. It is mainly characterized by deer, integrating dragon, cow, horse and sheep, wolf hooves, sheep head, and dome , with five colors on his body, one foot and two feet tall..."

Gu Wangshu said slowly. As she spoke, Zhou Qingxu's expression became more and more ugly. Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan's expressions were also very exciting. They were both embarrassed for Zhou Qingxu and ashamed of his behavior. In the end, A look of mockery.

Looking at the ministers of Helian Kingdom, they all nodded frequently and looked at Zhou Qingxu with angry expressions.

This is to steal the chicken but lose the rice, shooting oneself in the foot.

The people present were all smart people. Gu Wangshu directly exposed Zhou Qingxu's lies. Everyone could see that Zhou Qingming was deliberately making things difficult for He Lianguo.

Gu Wangshu did not stop, and continued to talk, pressing forward step by step towards Zhou Qingxu.

"Master Zhou keeps saying that this is a unicorn, but none of its characteristics match that of a unicorn. This species does not look like a deer, it has no scales on its body, and it is not an ox's tail. Its color is not colorful, and its height is less than one foot. Even though every feature is mismatched, Mr. Zhou keeps saying that this is a unicorn, which reminds me of an idiom that refers to a deer as a horse."

Zhou Qingxu's face had turned livid, especially Gu Wangshu's last sentence of "referring to a deer as a horse", which frightened him greatly.

The origin of the idiom "referring to deer as horses" is because during the reign of Qin II, Zhao Gao wanted to seize the power of the Qin Dynasty, but he was afraid that the ministers would not listen to him, so he tried to test them.

So he brought a deer to Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, and said it was a horse.

Qin II corrected him and said it was a deer, and asked the ministers around him whether it was a deer or a horse.

Some of the ministers were silent, and some deliberately catered to Zhao Gao and said it was a horse, so that even Qin II felt that he was sick and couldn't even tell the difference between a deer and a horse.

Gu Wangshu looked at Zhou Qingxu: "I am curious, Lord Zhou came to our country, Helian, to give gifts to my country, or to make my country unhappy?"

"We, the Helian Kingdom, treated the envoys from Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao as honored guests, but the envoys from Dongling came to me, Helian, on New Year's Eve and accused me of calling a deer a horse. What should I do?"

"Is it to beat Helian, or to give Helian a show of strength? Or is the Dongling Kingdom fooling Helian Kingdom into thinking that I am a fool?"

Gu Wangshu's words hit Zhou Qingxu like a bolt from the blue, leaving him unable to argue for a while.

He shook his head repeatedly: "I...I brought it to Helian because I thought this thing was a unicorn. I wanted to give Helian the most precious thing from Dongling Kingdom. I definitely didn't look down on Helian." The meaning of country.”

Gu Wangshu looked at him sideways.

"Really? So Mr. Zhou doesn't know what species this is?"

Zhou Qingxu gritted his teeth, not wanting to admit it, but he had to admit it.

"I really don't know."

"Since you don't know, don't pretend to know everything. This will only make people laugh. As the counselor of Dongling Kingdom, you represent the entire Dongling Kingdom. It doesn't matter if you are embarrassed, but don't Let Dongling Kingdom be embarrassed along with you."

"I really didn't expect that the counselor of Dongling Kingdom didn't even know what this was. Don't even the emperor and other ministers of Dongling Kingdom know about it? No way?"

Gu Wangshu's words made Zhou Qingxu's face turn red.

He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, suppressing his anger and showing a forced smile.

"So, Miss Gu knows what this is?"

"Of course I know."

"This thing is called a serow. The important characteristics of the serow are white temples, red legs, and a black body. It has a very good ability to climb mountains and rocks."

What Gu Wangshu said was reasonable and well-founded, which gave everyone present insight.

Zhou Qingxu was still making his final struggle.

"Is Miss Gu so sure that this thing is a serow and not another species?"

"If I'm not sure, I won't talk nonsense like Mr. Zhou. If you don't believe it, Mr. Zhou, just go look for it in the book."

"Which book?"

Gu Wangshu said playfully: "Master Zhou is the counselor of the Dongling Kingdom. I believe he has read a lot of books. It should not be less than what I, a woman, have read, right?"

In one sentence, Zhou Qingxu was humiliated again.

Gu Wangshu stopped looking at Zhou Qingxu, turned around and walked back to He Lianhuan.

Zhou Qingxu's face was completely humiliated by this farce. Similarly, the image of Dongling Kingdom in the minds of Dashuo and Zhao Kingdom was also greatly reduced.

The banquet begins, everyone sits down, eats and drinks when it's time, some are happy and some are sad.

The serow was carried down, and Lord Helian said to Zhou Qing:

"Since Master Zhou and the Dongling Kingdom both regard the serow as an auspicious beast, Master Zhou will bring it back to the Dongling Kingdom. I hope that this serow can bless the Dongling Kingdom with good weather, good harvests every year, happy people, and peace and prosperity for the country."

Zhou Qingxu was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head. He wanted to thank the Lord for his kindness, and he was so aggrieved that he died.

After this little episode, Zhou Qingxu didn't dare to make any more mistakes, and was very quiet at the following banquet.

On the other hand, Dashuo and the two envoys from Zhao State ate deliciously and chatted happily.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the morning is getting closer and closer.

After everyone in the Jinluan Hall had eaten and enjoyed the singing and dancing, they went out to enjoy the fireworks under the leadership of Lord Helian.

The dark night was illuminated by fireworks.

A deafening explosion sounded, and even the winter cold was dispersed by the smoke.

They were staying in the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve, but they didn't know that Chen Zui, who was in the Hou Mansion at the moment, huddled up in the quilt when he heard the sound of firecrackers, holding Yun Musheng's ashes in his arms, and his body Shivering slightly.

When Yun Musheng was still alive, Chen Zui was not afraid of anything. He didn't even take his own life seriously, so he was able to conquer all countries alone.

But ever since he fell in love with Yun Musheng, he had a weakness.

He was worried that Yun Musheng would have an accident, and Yun Musheng would really have an accident.

Ever since Yun Musheng was blown to death, the sound of explosions has become Chen Zui's nightmare.

Today, he took leave and did not go to the palace to celebrate the new year. Firstly, he was really not feeling well. Another more important reason was that he hated the sound of firecrackers.

When he heard the sound of firecrackers, the scene of Yun Musheng being killed appeared in his mind unconsciously.

He could only watch helplessly as she died in front of him, her body turning into pieces and blood splattering.

This is a nightmare that Chen Zui can't erase for the rest of his life.

He could only hide in a deserted corner, holding Yun Musheng's ashes and bear it all alone.

The sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve lasted for a long time, as long as a century for Chen Zui.

When the sound of firecrackers stopped, Chen Zui was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

Royal Palace.

When the fireworks stop, the New Year’s Eve vigil is over.

At this time, Wang Miaomiao, the niece of the Queen Mother, suddenly approached Helian Jue and asked:

"Cousin, why didn't Lord Chen come tonight?"

Wang Miaomiao has always liked Chen Zui. She once deliberately targeted Yun Musheng because of Chen Zui. Later, she was scolded by Chen Zui. Wang Miaomiao felt extremely sad, but she still did not let go of Chen Zui.

She knew that Chen's favorite was Yun Musheng, and she was so jealous of Yun Musheng that she went crazy.

But she couldn't do anything to Yun Musheng.

Because Yun Musheng's identity and status are not something she can bully easily.

If the Yun family, Gu family and Chen Zui were upset, neither the emperor's cousin nor the queen mother's aunt could save her.

Therefore, she did not have any trouble for a long time and stayed at home honestly.

But it's different now.

Yun Musheng died, and Chen Zui became a loner again. Her chance would come.

With such a fantasy, Wang Miaomiao paid special attention to Chen Zui's every move. New Year's Eve was such an important day, but Chen Zui didn't come, which puzzled her.

Helian Jue said calmly: "Chen Aiqing is sick."

"Ah! Why did you suddenly become ill?" Wang Miaomiao said in surprise: "Isn't it because you were injured?"

The word "injured" successfully attracted the attention of Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan.

They were also a little surprised as to why Chen Zui didn't show up at the banquet.

But it was difficult for them to inquire about the affairs of Helian Kingdom's ministers, so they didn't have the nerve to ask.

Now Wang Miaomiao suddenly asked, and they pricked up their ears to listen.

Helianjue's eyes darkened.

Chen Zui led troops to attack Nalan Kingdom and kept the news secret for fear of being known by Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao Kingdom.

The longer the delay is, the better. As long as they don't know that Nalan Kingdom has been destroyed, they will not be particularly afraid of Helian Kingdom, and Helian Kingdom will have enough time to make the next plan.

Wang Miaomiao suddenly talked too much, which caught Helian Jue off guard. For a moment, he didn't even think of how to round out the word "injured".

At this moment, Gu Wangshu suddenly said: "Wang Miaomiao, please take care of yourself first and figure out your identity. You don't need to meddle in Mr. Chen Hou's affairs."
