Chapter 79: Brother Huang can't! 24(1/2)
The prince's reputation was quite strong.
With his hands behind his back, his calm and calm look made Yingqian a little curious.
I don't know what he has prepared to please the emperor.
Several eunuchs carried an object covered with red cloth into the temple.
The object was tall and heavy, and the eunuchs were sweating profusely and had difficulty walking.
After finally reaching the palace, when they let go, the soles of their feet were shaken.
Xia Hojing's position was diagonally across from Yingqian. Seeing the curiosity on her face, he opened his mouth and said silently:
"screen."
Only then did Ying Qian suddenly realize.
Screens are not new.
Even with such a rare material, it would probably be considered ordinary in the eyes of the emperor.
I don’t know what’s so special about it that makes the prince take action.
The prince stood in front of the screen, held a corner of the red cloth, and said loudly:
"My son came across a piece of stone by chance. According to the stone quarry, it is a rare treasure that can only be found in a hundred years. In this world, I am afraid that only the True Dragon Emperor can possess it."
He slowly pulled the red cloth, and a corner of blue and purple gradually appeared in front of everyone.
It is indeed the best material.
At first glance, it looks smooth and moist, with no flaws or cracks in the jade.
He also carved a pattern of two dragons playing with pearls for the center.
They must have found the best stonemasons, and the carvings are lifelike.
The two dragons seemed to be alive.
For a moment, everyone in the hall was amazed.
The emperor also looked happy and said with a smile:
"Okay! The prince really has his heart."
The prince's eyes lit up and he immediately leaned over and said:
"As long as I can win my father's favor, all my sons and daughters' hard work will be worth it."
This gift of his wasted a lot of thought.
It took more than half a year to prepare.
Just waiting for today and now to show up.
The prince raised the corners of his lips, and a sarcastic look flashed in his eyes.
As soon as his screen appeared.
How could these other princes have the nerve to send their shabby congratulatory gifts in front of the emperor?
Just put it down and don't embarrass yourself.
The emperor himself got off the throne.
Go to the screen and watch it.
He was obviously quite satisfied with this gift.
He also called the other princes and came forward to watch together.
Most of the princes don't have good-looking faces.
Especially Xia Houyuan.
Xia Hojing walked in and happened to hear his muffled voice.
"It's just a screen, nothing special about it!"
His tone was indignant.
His eyes were full of worry.
Obviously, he doesn't have much respect for the prince.
Xia Houjing glanced at him twice, missed his steps slightly, and followed Xia Houyuan to the screen together.
He closed it for a while and suddenly said:
"Why are there two dragons playing with pearls carved on this screen?"
Xia Hojing's voice was not loud.
But it happened to be enough for Xia Houyuan beside him to listen.
Xia Houyuan glanced at him, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but when he thought of what Xia Hojing said, he frowned again.
Yes, why is it Two Dragons Playing with Pearls?
Naturally, he couldn't come up with an answer based on his brain.
Xia Hojing shook his head, as if talking to himself, and said:
"It can't be someone who wants to be on an equal footing with my father."
Xia Houyuan's eyes lit up.
Why didn't he think of this?
If the prince was really serious, he should have carved a pattern like a cloud and a dragon.
Just because he picked Erlong Xizhu doesn't mean that he has some other thoughts hidden in his heart.
The prince must have never imagined that he could find out something he had hidden so deeply.
Xia Houyuan felt quite proud.
With his temperament, he will naturally not remember Xia Hojing again.
And this is exactly what Xia Houjin hopes to see.
He lowered his head, a smile flashing in his eyes.
How stupid.
It’s also really useful.
Xia Houyuan and Concubine Shu injured Yingqian and became ill for a long time.
And other people here also look down on them.
Xiahou Jingke remembers all these grievances.
In the future, each item will have to be paid back a thousand times.
This is just the beginning.
Take it easy.
He slowly backed away and returned to his seat. Looking at Ying Qian who was dozing off while biting a pastry, a touch of tenderness finally appeared on his face.
In the entire world, only his imperial sister was the most different.
All he needs is Yingqian.
Xia Hojing picked up the wine glass, and the spicy liquid entered her throat, bringing a burst of pleasure.
He was not kept waiting long.
Xia Houyuan really couldn't bear the attack.
He pointed at the two dragons playing with beads on the screen and said loudly:
"Brother Imperial, I wonder what the pictures on the screen mean?"
The prince and Xia Houyuan had never been on good terms.
Hearing his unkind tone at this moment made my heart even more angry.
With a cold snort, the prince said:
"This is two dragons playing with pearls. The eighth emperor brother is not young at all. How can he still ask His Highness to help you with such a trivial matter?"
If it were normal.
After hearing the prince's remarks, Xia Houyuan would definitely be furious.
But this one was strange. Not only was he not annoyed, but he chuckled lightly and said:
"Of course the emperor's brother knows about the Two Dragons Playing with Pearls, but he is very confused. Everyone knows that his father is the only true dragon alive, but the prince just sent the two dragons playing with beads. Could it be that he wants to be on an equal footing with his father?!
"
His tone became increasingly serious.
To be continued...
