The saint's longevity this year coincides with knowing the destiny and longevity. Not to mention the Anchenghou Mansion, the officials and dignitaries in Dafeng all went to find some rare and precious treasures early to prepare longevity gifts to win the saint's favor. .
The same is true for the Anchenghou Mansion. As early as last year, they had already started looking for rare and precious treasures, and finally used their power to obtain such a dragon bead.
To be honest, the dragon bead was about the size of a child's fist and was shiny and lustrous. Apart from being a first-class ornament, An Chenghou himself didn't know what purpose it could be used for.
But no matter what its use is, just because it was taken from a five-hundred-year-old dragon, it is very precious, and it is also a pill bead knotted by the dragon, which was given to the real dragon emperor to weave a dragon bead into his body. , wish you a happy birthday and be in harmony with heaven, it is simply perfect.
Marquis Ancheng intuitively felt that sending this longevity gift would definitely bring more glory to the family. This was really honorable.
Therefore, he strictly hid the news that he had obtained the dragon bead, and also used another half-human-high red coral as a cover for his longevity gift this year, in order to make a splash on the day of his birthday.
But he concealed it tightly, but he couldn't hide it from Dongyang Marquis who was guarding the East China Sea. The other party wanted the dragon pearl and even offered a high price of one hundred thousand taels. He just thought that it was a rare commodity and did not give it away, even if he sent some military advisors. Despite constant negotiations, he did not give in because he thought more. If the Marquis of Dongyang could side with the Meng family, the young prince would have a big bargaining chip in the future.
It's a pity that the Marquis of Dongyang is not stupid either. Okay, he is just testing. If they are not willing, then there is no need to talk.
Marquis Ancheng did not expect that Lin Xiang had also received Feng and asked him to part with him so directly.
It is impossible to give up love. This is related to the glory of one's own family.
However, this did not stop Marquis Ancheng from wondering what the prime minister wanted this dragon bead for, was it also a birthday gift?
"Prime Minister Lin has great supernatural powers. I don't want to ask you how you learned that I have a dragon bead. I just want to ask, what is the use of this dragon bead?"
Prime Minister Lin smiled lightly and replied: "It can be used as medicine."
Qin Liuxi knows the five arts of Xuanmen, and he knows the medical arts better. It is normal to use it as medicine. Yes, it is used as medicine, not to do something with strange powers and chaos.
Marquis Ancheng was slightly stunned: "Used as medicine?"
Prime Minister Lin nodded, took out a long box and said, "There is a thousand-year-old ginseng here, and I am willing to exchange it with the Marquis."
Marquis Ancheng laughed: "Thousand-year-old ginseng is not easy to obtain, but it is not impossible to obtain. This dragon bead is extremely rare. At least I have never heard of a dragon turning into a dragon in the deep sea. Has the Prime Minister underestimated this bead?"
"I don't dare. After all, it is a medicinal material, so it is naturally precious. Otherwise, I would not have the audacity to come to ask the Marquis to part with me." Prime Minister Lin still behaved in a gentle manner and was not affected by his ridicule.
Marquis Ancheng thought to himself that you also know that you are shameless, yet you still dare to speak.
"I spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find this birthday gift. I want to make the saint smile, and the Prime Minister will cut off the beard, but I can't explain it to the saint."
Prime Minister Lin put away the ginseng, took out a box again, and said, "Master Hou, do you still remember that in the 42nd year of Shenghe, the former Prince Jia went to Jiangnan on the order of the late emperor to investigate the missing official banknotes for disaster relief in Jiangnan?"
Marquis Ancheng was startled, and there was a hint of ominousness in his heart. His intuition made him not want to listen anymore.
It is said that one should not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, but Prime Minister Lin went there, looking for the dragon beads, but he refused. He was not annoyed, but he mentioned Prince Jia.
Prince Jia, the man who was supposed to be a great treasure, was imprisoned in the clan's mansion because he was involved in the harem's victory-hating technique. Later, he was sentenced to death for treason for forcing the palace to rebel, and he became an existence that cannot be mentioned. .
The Prime Minister mentioned it, which is a good thing.
The forty-two years of Shenghe, wasn't it the time before Prince Jia was involved in the art of hating victory?
"When Prince Jia went to the south of the Yangtze River, he happened to be the magistrate of Ancheng. That year was a time of frequent floods, and there was a sudden torrent. Prince Jia fell into the water and was later rescued by a farmer."
Marquis Ancheng was minding his own business making tea. Needless to say, it must be those three bloody things.
"The farmer's surname was Mu, and there was a mute girl who was born in Xiaojiabiyu. She was very beautiful. Prince Jia took pity on her very much. After the spring breeze, she was found and rescued by his subordinates."
Look, it is indeed a bloody story.
Wait a minute, there will be an even more bloody follow-up.
Sure enough, Prime Minister Lin opened his mouth and continued: "A mere mute girl, no matter how beautiful she is, is not worthy of the prince's attention. What's more, she is just a small farmer's girl. She was quickly forgotten by the prince."
Marquis Ancheng couldn't stand it any longer and said: "Master, there are no outsiders here. You can tell me directly. Storybooks are not suitable for us old men who are over fifty years old to stay up late and listen to them, right?"
Prime Minister Lin laughed: "There is a mute girl. She is as beautiful as a fairy and as weak as a dodder flower. I heard that there is a light-colored red plum birthmark on her waist. When she is in love with someone, the red plum will bloom like a flower. Very beautiful."
Snap.
An Chenghou knocked over the tea cup on the tea tray and turned pale.
Many years ago, someone gave him a thin horse. She was a good girl who had just grown up. She was very delicate. The most important thing was that when she was in love, a red plum flower would appear on her waist. He liked it very much and looked for her. She married an ordinary farmer, named her Osmanthus osmanthus, and took her as a good concubine.
Aunt Mu is weak and beautiful, but not too troublesome. She has been doted on by him for many years, and she also gave birth to a son, who is ten years old this year. His son is not like him, like Osmanthus Duo, but he is also like...
Marquis Ancheng froze and looked at Prime Minister Lin.
Prime Minister Lin lowered his eyes, and his voice penetrated into Marquis Ancheng's eardrums like a soul-stealing sound, and said: "Prince Jia has been gone for so many years, and the saint has been in power for nearly thirty years, but there are still loyal servants who think that Prince Jia was unjust when he fell. , it was a trap set up by the saint, with the intention of finding the descendants of Prince Jia to bring order to the chaos. By the way, Anchenghou was also a personal guard of the saint, so he should know better than me, a civil servant."
Marquis Ancheng touched the teacup with trembling hands and stared at him with poisonous eyes.
Of course he knew that the saint had a taboo against Prince Jia. He even knew that the saint wanted to kill Prince Jia for his affair outside the home, so he would rather kill him than let him go.
But now, Prime Minister Lin told him that there was such a remnant hiding beside him, and he even gave birth to a son?
If the rest of Prince Jia's remnants come looking for him, then...
Even if he didn't have the intention, he would be accused by the saint of harboring the remnants of Prince Jia, and his whole family would be in disgrace.
What, he has a favored concubine sister who gave birth to a prince to rely on?
Phew, there is no shortage of beauties in the harem, nor is there any shortage of princes. The little prince is still young and will die young. How could a saint care about him more than the throne he sits on?
So once this thing is worn, you can know the consequences waiting for him with your butt!
An Chenghou touched his cold neck and looked at Lin Xiang, who was smiling fakely, his teeth grinding loudly.
No wonder people in the world say that Prime Minister Lin never makes a move when he is unsure. He dared to come to the door, but it turned out that he had an ace in his hand!
