"Six-six Winter Mother Snow Lotuses, and then-plus a drop of Yin Essence, that's all."
Zhang Xiaozu gritted his teeth and listed out his wish list one by one under the eyes of more than a thousand people who looked at him like a fool.
After he finished speaking, he was so embarrassed that his cheeks were red and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Niu Dawa and others all saluted him with admiration. Originally, they were still complacent that their wishes had come true, but after listening to Zhang Xiaopou's long list of wishes, they suddenly felt that they were too hasty.
They didn't know that Zhang Xiaopeng had been instructed by an expert.
Yesterday afternoon at Yunzhu Small Courtyard, Ye Mingyue told him that there were several body-refining elixirs that were extremely rare, and it would be difficult to obtain them even with holy blood and jade items.
Zhang Xiaozu thought of today's reward ceremony, so he told Ye Mingyue that he could take this opportunity to ask Su Hanlin for the rarest elixir.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ye Mingyue played this stupid trick on him.
Let him work in groups of six and ask for several more elixirs in one go.
Ye Mingyue said: "Your Majesty will definitely not agree after hearing this, and will most likely choose one of the elixirs as a reward. Think about it, he has already cut off so many of your wishes, how can he have the nerve to shrink another six? To be one, that would be too stingy and inconsistent with his imperial demeanor. To say the least, even if he is very stingy and only gives you one regardless of his status as an emperor, then you have nothing to lose, it is just that your face is not good-looking. .”
Zhang Xiaozu was convinced after hearing this, and he risked his life to refine the body elixir.
But he regretted it now, because from the corners of Su Hanlin's mouth that kept twitching, he could clearly feel that Su Hanlin was trying his best to restrain the urge to slap him.
If Su Hanlin slaps him away, he will get nothing.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt worried.
He glanced at Zhou Jianlai, who was still breathing cold air from his mouth, hoping to make him spit on Su Hanlin's forehead to cool down the old man's temperature.
"Haha, this guy is probably not here to make fun of you, right?"
"Huh, push yourself further!"
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"Playing with the divine grace is destructive!"
Some people woke up from the dumbfounded state and immediately made sarcastic remarks and ridicules to Zhang Xiaopou, and some even accused him of being guilty.
Among these people, the majority were jealous of Zhang Xiaopeng's nine unique favors.
Jealousy gives rise to hatred, that's what it is.
"Haha, you kid, are you taking advantage of the situation?" Su Hanlin suddenly grinned.
Butcher Zhang was also stroking his beard and laughing.
"I don't dare." Zhang Xiaozu hurriedly shook his head in denial.
"I only have the Extreme Fire Crystal, do you want it?" Su Hanlin asked.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaozu nodded quickly.
"Take it." Su Hanlin flicked his right hand, and a fist-sized dark red crystal flew towards Zhang Xiaozu, saying: "There are no small ones, only one big one. It can be broken down enough for six crystals."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Zhang Xiaozu happily caught the Extreme Fire Crystal and praised Ye Mingyue in his heart.
"What about you?" Su Hanlin looked at Yuan Taiping.
Yuan Taiping's cheeks turned red.
"You want to rob me too?" Su Hanlin glared.
Zhang Xiaozu also blushed before he spoke, so when he saw Yuan Taiping blushing before he opened his mouth, he immediately thought that Yuan Taiping wanted to learn from Zhang Xiaozu.
Yuan Taiping quickly shook his head and said: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me a marriage."
"Haha——" Su Hanlin was happy when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Maybe
If you want twelve women, how many women do you plan to have? "
"I will only ask for one general." Yuan Taiping said.
"I only took one scoop of the weak water from three thousand, and it turned out to be an infatuated man. Tell me, which girl have you fallen in love with?" Su Hanlin asked.
Yuan Taiping replied: "The general has fallen in love with Qin Rulan, the second lady of the Qin family of the Baiyun City Lord's Palace, and has already been in love with the second lady and promised to live with him for life. However, the general was born an orphan and is disabled, so he and the second lady are not in the same family. No, it’s quite arousing criticism, so I want to ask your majesty to give the general a good appearance. The general will have the second lady carry the big sedan chair and marry the general in a glorious manner."
"What's so difficult about this? I will give you a marriage certificate, and I will reward you with a mansion, a phoenix chariot, and a betrothal gift of 500 cars. After the two girls of the Qin family have completed their mourning, I will choose a good time and auspicious day to get married to you," Su Hanlin said. .
"Thank you for your grace!" Yuan Taiping knelt down to thank him.
Su Hanlin raised his hand and said: "Get up. The facade I gave you is just a temporary illusion. The real facade requires you to be strong yourself. When you become a general, a marquis, and return to your hometown with honor, who dares to gossip?"
"I will definitely work hard and live up to His Majesty's expectations." Yuan Taiping said.
Du Chengbi suddenly stood up with a smile, saluted Su Hanlin and said: "Your Majesty, I also want to take advantage of this happy day to ask your Majesty for a happy event on behalf of my grandson."
"I wonder what kind of happy event my dear wife wants to please?" Su Hanlin asked with a smile.
"My humble grandson Tianlu has great admiration for Princess Jin and has been begging me to ask for this marriage from Your Majesty. I watched Princess Jin grow up and have always loved Princess Jin. If I can get her as my granddaughter-in-law, I can sleep on it." I woke up with a smile, so today I shamelessly asked Your Majesty for this high degree of marriage, hoping that Your Majesty will agree." Du Chengbi said sincerely.
Du Tianlu, who was sitting a little further away, sighed silently in his heart, because he knew that Su Hanlin would not agree.
Su Hanlin frowned and shook his head: "Su Jin is naughty and disrespectful. She has committed many wrong things. She has lost her status as a princess and insulted the majesty of the royal family. Therefore, she is still banned from Taiping Academy by me. How can such a bad girl deserve it?" Your Majesty, your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is serious, Princess Jin is more than a match for her humble grandson," Du Chengbi said.
"Haha, if I don't mind that a bad girl has insulted the majesty of our family, I will make a high profile and approve this marriage." Su Hanlin stroked his beard and laughed, as if he had picked up a huge advantage, and glanced at the people in the hall. The minister smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
"Very good! Very good!" Ministers dare not say anything bad.
Moreover, the affair between Du Tianlu and Su Jin had already spread throughout the city, and in everyone's eyes, the marriage was already a certainty.
"Tianlu, why don't you express your gratitude verbally to His Majesty!" Du Chengbi urged Du Tianlu who was sitting there stunned.
Du Tianlu was a little confused. This was completely different from what Su Jin told him. Su Hanlin didn't object at all, but agreed directly.
"Wait a moment!"
Just when all the ministers were congratulating each other and Du Tianlu was about to stand up to express his gratitude, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
It was none other than Zhang Xiaopou, who had made an agreement with Su Hanlin in advance.
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Zhang Xiaozu.
Su Hanlin's face was drawn, his eyes were full of anger, he stared at Zhang Xiaopou and asked: "What's the matter with you?"
"Your Majesty, the general will object!" Zhang Xiaozu responded loudly.
"What are you objecting to?" Su Hanlin asked.
"I oppose the marriage between Princess Jin and Du Tianlu." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Bold!" Su Hanlin and Du Chengbi shouted in unison.
"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to rebel?
right? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will slap your mouth into pieces! "Du Chengbi's good mood was suddenly ruined by Zhang Xiaopou, so he was very angry.
"How dare you, a young lieutenant general, speak such arrogant words?" Su Hanlin also shouted angrily.
boom!
Butcher Zhang suddenly slapped the table and stood up. He looked at Chengbi and sneered: "Why is my grandson not qualified to object?"
The whole audience was shocked when these words came out.
Because everyone knows that Butcher Zhang only has an only son. However, this only son was seriously injured when he was young and could not have children, which resulted in the death of the Zhang family.
But now a grandson as big as Zhang Xiaozu suddenly appeared, how could they not be surprised?
Zhang Xiaozu, Zhang Butcher.
Not to mention the same surname.
And the name "Zhang Xiaozu" sounds like it was given by Zhang Butcher.
Looking at their looks, one old man and one young man are about 45% similar.
So before Butcher Zhang said anything, the ministers believed him.
In addition to Do Chengbi's face suddenly darkened, there was another person whose face was also very ugly.
Minister of Rites, Sun Wenku.
Ever since he heard the eunuch announcing the order read out the names of Zhang Xiaozu and the other four people when he was conferring rewards in front of the palace, his mood had become gloomy.
Because his grandson Fu Yucheng and uncle Fu Kainian both died directly or indirectly at the hands of Zhang Xiaozu.
However, he couldn't get into the matter and take revenge, because the matter was very involved. If it got too big, not only would he not be able to do anything to Zhang Xiaopeng and the four of them, but it would put him in a position of eternal destruction.
So he could only tell himself to forget about this hatred for the time being.
If God opens his eyes and gives him a chance to take revenge, then he will take revenge. If God doesn't open his eyes and doesn't give him a chance, then forget it.
And when he heard Butcher Zhang say that Zhang Xiaopeng was his grandson, he knew that God was not interested and he would never have a chance to take revenge in his life.
He drank three glasses of wine in a row, then stretched his neck, trying to see Zhang Xiaopou's appearance.
In fact, he had been trying to see Zhang Xiaopou's appearance, but the position where he was sitting happened to be blocked by the tall and thick Niu Dawa, so that even after trying for a long time, he could only see Zhang Xiaopou's profile.
That is to say, he couldn't see Zhang Xiaozu's face, otherwise he would have jumped up to seek revenge on Zhang Xiaozu.
He always remembered the pain of being hit by a sap while wearing a sack over his head in the back garden.
Butcher Zhang looked around and shouted loudly: "Today is a happy day, and I am joining in the fun. I have decided to adopt Zhang Xiaozu, Niu Guangmao, Zhou Jianlai and Yuan Taiping as my adopted grandchildren. Are you four willing?"
He looked at Zhang Xiaozu and the other four and asked.
"Yes." The four of them nodded excitedly, feeling like they were dreaming.
"You continue." Butcher Zhang sat back without saying any unnecessary nonsense.
Only then did all the ministers know that Zhang Xiaopeng was an adopted grandson rather than a biological grandson, and he had just accepted him.
"Ahem -" Su Hanlin coughed dryly, his expression softened a lot, he looked at Zhang Xiaozu and asked, "Tell me, why do you object?"
"?" Zhang Xiaozu gave Su Hanlin a questioning look.
Because the old eunuch Feng Yuxiu told him that day, just let him stand up and object, and Su Hanlin would solve the rest, so he was honest and didn't waste his brain thinking too much.
"!" Su Hanlin immediately gave Zhang Xiaopou a stern look that made you want to be slapped.
Zhang Xiaozu was so frightened that he shrank his neck and hurriedly said nonsense: "Du Tianlu, he - he - he can't do it. Well, yes, he can't do it."
Du Tianlu's face suddenly turned green.
