Lord Prime Minister

At night, the sound of the clock sounded at Haishi, and Mu Zihuai stepped into the threshold of the front hall of the palace. Everyone in the hall had arrived. The prince was sitting in the upper seat, holding a glass of fine wine, and the old butler was serving him.

Mu Zihuai nodded to everyone, returned to his seat and sat down.

Prince Minqing raised his glass and drank the fine wine that he had been drinking for a long time. With the cover of his arm, he glanced at the last person who came in, and saw that he was holding a golden box in his arm, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned. up.

"Since everyone is here, present the treasures you found to this king."

The first thing presented was a dark green square box, two palms wide and three inches high, the butler took it from Kong Qing's hand and presented it to the prince.

"My lord." Kong Qing left the table to salute, with a smile on his face, and explained in a soft voice: "I found this on the door of the back door of the palace. The clue in the purse is a piece of sawdust stained with red paint. I asked Through the store, and thus found the prince's treasure in the palace."

"Have you seen what's inside?"

"Never."

"Then how do you know this is the king's treasure?"

"The splendor on the box surface is a tribute from Jiangnan area. It is exquisitely crafted and ingenious. But this box is already a treasure, and the things inside are naturally the treasures of treasures, the treasures of treasures."

Prince Minqing nodded, seemed very satisfied with Kongqing's explanation, raised his hand and lifted the lid of the box to take a look. "It is indeed a treasure of this king."

Kong Qing smiled in satisfaction, her originally tense mood was completely relaxed, and the upturned brows at the end of her eyes were unknowingly a little charming.

"Mr. Kong is talented, smart and witty. This king bestowed this treasure on Mr. Kong."

The treasure box was handed over to Kong Qing again, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes sparkling, he saluted again and took it, and gently opened the lid of the box.The box was also covered with navy blue brocade, and there were two small and exquisite cups lying upright in it.

The body of the cup is crisp and emerald green, with smooth texture and colorful color, just like emeralds. The wall of the cup is as thin as paper, with natural decorations. It is a luminous cup made of jade from Qilian Mountains.

Kong Qing was overjoyed, touched the body of the cup lightly with her fingers, and the cool feeling spread all over her body along the fingertips, which made people feel refreshed.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Prince Minqing put one hand on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, why don't you try it now? Come and serve wine."

Kong Qing carefully took out a luminous cup, held it in both hands, and poured the fragrant wine into it, and the cup suddenly glowed with brilliance.Take a sip, the wine is sweet and sweet, with endless aftertaste.

Kong Qing said three times in succession, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, he saluted the prince again.

"Thank you, my lord, for the reward. The wine is really good, and the cup is really precious."

The second one presented was the treasure that Ren Danfeng found.The elongated rectangular big red box is wrapped with silky brocade of the same color with a fancy knot on the upper right corner of the box.

The old butler took the brocade box from Ren Danfeng with both hands, and presented it to Prince Minqing's side.

"My lord, there is a blue square button in the purse I got. After asking, I found out that the fabric for making the button is unique to the Western Regions, and this kind of fabric was paid as a tribute only recently. I found this treasure in the garment room of the palace. .”

Ren Danfeng spoke in a rough and unhurried voice, King Minqing didn't ask any more questions this time, but directly opened the box.

"It is indeed my king's treasure. Since Mr. Ren found it, then this king will give it to Mr. Ren." He waved his hand to the housekeeper to send the box back.

Ren Danfeng took the box, opened it, and inside was a closed fan.A few thin bamboos are carved on the exposed fan bone, and when opened, there is a beautiful picture of a white horse in spring, with the white horse raising its hooves and roaring, lifelike.On the back is a picture of characters, the brushwork is vigorous and powerful, bold and uninhibited.

Seeing the inscription behind the words, the calm Ren Danfeng couldn't help but let out an ah.

"This is the calligraphy of Lord Wang Chenyi Wang!"

"That's right, this is a pair of characters that this king asked Mr. Wang back then, and then sent someone to make this fan."

"Thank you, my lord." Ren Danfeng bowed deeply, his excitement was almost uncontrollable.

Two consecutive treasures were rewarded.Mu Zihuai touched the brocade box that he had been holding in his arms, feeling a little excited.

What's in here?Thinking about the two treasures just now, one knows that this one will definitely not be bad.what is it?

The finger moved, as if opening it to see...

I should have opened it up if I knew I found it, and now I wouldn't be so curious.

The next person started to present the treasures, but Mu Zihuai couldn't hear what they were saying at all, and his whole heart was put on the small treasure box in his hand.

Open it quietly and take a look.

Mu Zihuai comforted himself like this, his eyes moved down in a sway, his fingers hooked the lid of the box, and he opened it bit by bit...

The brocade box was opened with a small gap, and the candlelight from behind cast it and slipped into the box along the gap, which was enough for Mu Zihuai to see clearly what was contained in this very noble golden brocade box.

The things in the box were not big, less than a foot, and the shape of the black wooden stick, which was slightly thinner than the arm, looked very familiar, with very strange protrusions on the surface, and there was a strong and threatening atmosphere in the faint candlelight.

this thing......

Mu Zihuai felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, and this shape was somewhat familiar...

"Ah!" A thought flashed through his mind, and Mu Zihuai cried out in shock.

This, this, this can't be that thing!

"Mr. Mu? Mr. Mu!"

The butler's voice called back Mu Zihuai's distracted thinking. "What happened to Mr. Mu?"

Mu Zihuai hastily closed the lid, collected his mind, and managed to put on a calm expression. "I'm fine."

His gaze accidentally bumped into Prince Minqing, Mu Zihuai suddenly panicked, he hurriedly picked up the glass on the table, trying to drink it up to suppress his shock, but remembered that the glass contained wine, so he had to pinch the glass and put it down again.

King Minqing withdrew his gaze from Mu Zihuai who was distracted, picked up the wooden box presented with his fingertips, and glanced inside, showing a disappointed expression. "This is not my king's treasure." The voice was straightforward, without any disappointment.

"But I found this according to the instructions given by the prince. It is indeed the treasure of the prince." Liu Zhiyuan bowed hurriedly, his face was full of anxiety and panic, and hurriedly explained.

"This king said no." King Minqing spoke again, with majesty in his voice.

"But..." Liu Zhiyuan wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by the voice of the old housekeeper.

"Mr. Liu, please go back."

Two servants stepped forward to separate Liu Zhiyuan's sides, bent slightly, stretched out their hands and said, "Sir, let's go."

Liu Zhiyuan had no choice but to buy the red coral in the box from an antique shop. The only thing he got was a small bottle with water in it. He really didn't know what it meant, so he had to buy one for himself. Sure enough, it was discovered.

When Liu Zhiyuan was taken away, he was the one who regretted it, and Mu Zihuai was the one who was shocked.

Something was wrong and was taken away.

The box that was originally held in his arms was placed far away at this time, wishing to be as far away from himself as possible, and even dared not touch it again.

I don't know which bastard actually put this kind of thing in such a good box, and even hid it under the flowers by the pool.Mu Zihuai gritted his teeth, as if he had seen his end.

Mu Zihuai regretted and hated, but at this moment the prince's voice sounded.

"Since Mr. Mu is so impatient, housekeeper, please present the treasure that Mr. Mu found." King Minqing said as if he was satisfied with Mu Zihuai. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the faces of the people next to him turning blue and white.
