Shao Xi was panicking now! I originally planned to find a chance to be alone with the little emperor by presenting a blue mist purple cloud gauze to Princess Haizhu, but now I'm done with it?
I offended Princess Haizhu before, but now if I use this as a reason again, wouldn't it be like a mouse sending New Year greetings to a cat and sending them into people's mouths? How to do this?
Now thinking back on what Old Wu warned him yesterday, Shao Xi really realized that if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a loss in front of you. Why do you have to tease others when you are doing well? Now that the princess has been so embarrassed, if she is used as a springboard again, she will not kill herself if she finds out?
But I have to say that Shao Xi's mind was indeed spinning fast enough. At this moment, he changed his mind and thought that the original excuse of presenting the green mist purple cloud gauze to Princess Haizhu was a bit far-fetched and blunt. Now if he took the initiative to expose his relationship with the princess, Wouldn't it be easier to achieve the previous goal by apologizing to the princess for the misunderstanding between them?
Although doing this may face Princess Haizhu's anger, this reason seems to be more sufficient and reasonable, and will not arouse others' suspicion. I wonder if this is a bitter trick? 33
Thinking of this, Shao Xi hurriedly turned around and took the brocade box containing "Tears of the Fairy" from Xu Maocheng's hand, and presented it with both hands.
When Zhao Hongjin opened the brocade box and saw the "Tears of the Fairy" in the box, her eyes suddenly lit up and her face was full of surprise. He reached out and took "Tears of the Fairy" in his hand, lifted it up and admired it repeatedly, his joy was beyond words. To him, such a thing was something he had never imagined in his life.
When all the civil and military officials in the court saw the "Tear of the Fairy" in Zhao Hongjin's hand, they were all surprised. Some even couldn't help but exclaimed. They had never seen such a crystal clear and radiant thing in their lives. However, I had never even heard of it, and everyone who saw it was shocked.
Human beings basically have one thing in common, which is an inexplicable love for brightly colored and shiny things.
Even today, even if they know that it is just a glass diamond and not worth much, there are still many people who will hold it in their hands and admire it over and over again, marveling at the colorful and dazzling brilliance it reflects.
For ancient people, such transparent, bright, colorful and strange-shaped glass objects were rare, so how could they not be surprised? It is true that things are rare and valuable.
Zhao Hongjin held the "Tears of the Fairy" in her hand, and just as Shao Xi expected, she couldn't put it down. At this time, she even forgot to say some words of thanks to Shao Xi. She just stared at the thing in her hand and kept sighing at the creation of heaven and earth. For such a magical thing to exist in the world is really like the work of the gods.
"Ahem..."
Shao Xi stood there and felt a little embarrassed. The young emperor of Southern Zhao and the civil and military officials in the court actually ignored his existence at this time. Everyone's attention was attracted by the "Tears of the Fairy", which made him look uncomfortable. It's a bit redundant to stand here.
At this time, I couldn't help but cough twice on purpose to remind everyone present that the real owner of the gift was still here! Isn't it a little rude of you to do this?
Zhao Hongjin was a little distracted while watching "Tears of the Fairy", but when she heard Shao Xi's cough, she came back to her senses. She knew that she had behaved a little rudely just now, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face, and she hurriedly put it away. His expression returned to normal, and he put the "Fairy Tears" back into the brocade box.
"The Jingyuan Empire is indeed full of treasures and outstanding people. I never expected that there would be such a magical thing. Your noble lord and your envoy are so polite. I like such precious things very much. Your envoy is really thoughtful. I have heard about it a long time ago." Your envoy has outstanding talents, both civil and military skills. He is a young hero of the Jingyuan Dynasty. It seems that what he said is true. The fact that your envoy has sent such a heavy gift now shows that your dynasty is friendly. I am very relieved. It seems that my return gift is not enough. Sloppy, you need to think carefully about it."
At this time, Zhao Hongjin's face was full of smiles, and it could be seen that he was quite satisfied with what Shao Xi had given him. Even the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty nodded and praised Jing Yuan Guo's envoys, who indeed had the atmosphere and spirit of a great country. generous.
Shao Xi bowed his hands and bowed, and replied with a smile: "The Holy Master is overly complimentary. It's just a small gift, which is really disrespectful. I feel deeply honored that the Holy Master likes me. I really don't dare to accept this praise."
Zhao Hongjin couldn't help but leaned forward and asked curiously: "Just now you said that you still have a gift to give to Princess Haizhu. I am quite curious at this time. I don't know how magical the gift your envoy wants to give to the princess is." Object? I can't wait to know, and I would like to ask your envoy to bring it out so that I, the courtier of the whole dynasty, can open my eyes."
Seeing the performance of Zhao Hongjin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Shao Xi knew that he had made the right gift this time. Sure enough, these novelties can arouse people's curiosity. As long as they are interested in what they send, they will naturally be equally interested in what they say. In this way, communication will no longer be a problem.
Seeing Zhao Hongjin ask about Princess Haizhu's gift, Shao Xi was unambiguous and turned around to take the last gift from Xu Maocheng's hand.
It was a wide and long wooden box. Shao Xi called the little eunuch in front of the hall to open the wooden box, and asked him and Xu Maocheng to take out the green mist and purple cloud gauze in the box and unfold it in the hall. , and also specially selected a location with excellent lighting for display, in order to show the magic of the green mist and purple cloud gauze.
The sunlight coming in from the window of the main hall shines on the green mist and purple cloud gauze, and the gauze surface reflects dazzling and colorful colors. The entire cloud gauze keeps changing colors under the sunlight, like a colorful brocade. The rays of light entering the palace are eye-catching. The ever-changing glow is mixed with countless dazzling stars, which are dazzling, colorful and beautiful.
There was another exclamation in the main hall, how had anyone in Southern Zhao ever seen such a radiant and wonderful cloud gauze? You know, this green mist purple cloud gauze was also used as a tribute gauze for the royal family in the Jingyuan Empire. It must be a top-notch existence in Nan Zhao. How can it not be amazing?
The civil and military personnel of the Southern Zhao Dynasty were all staring straight at this moment. They really didn’t expect that the envoy Jingyuan gave two gifts in an understatement. They were both such rare things in the world. It really made people’s hearts tremble. Tsk-tsk.
At this time, Han Zeng and Fu Zuoliang, who were standing aside, were also shocked by the two gifts given by Shao Xi. The two of them had received gifts from Shao Xi before, but they didn't expect that this young man would bring different surprises to others every time. Each gift he gave was more unexpected than the other, and they didn't know where he got these treasures from. .
But what is certain is that these magical objects all came from the Jingyuan Empire, which shows how rich the Central Plains is!
At this time, Zhao Hongjin couldn't help but walked down from her seat in the main hall, came to the unfolded cloud gauze, stared at the exquisite colorful cloud gauze, and opened her mouth wide for a moment, not knowing what to say. His face was full of envy.
"If such exquisite cloud gauze were made into a dress and worn on the body, wouldn't it be like the lower world of an immortal, so wonderful? Shao Xi, are you sure this is the gift you want to give to Princess Haizhu?"
Zhao Hongjin was so excited that she forgot to be polite and called Shao Xi by his first name. She was really stunned by the Yun Sha in front of her. At this moment, he wished he could become a girl so that he could wear this cloud gauze shining with colorful rays of light and dotted with twinkling stars.
Perhaps it was because Shao Xi had seen too many exquisite industrial products in the modern world, so he didn't feel anything special when he saw this green mist purple cloud gauze, but now he saw Zhao Hongjin and Nan Zhaochaotang Zhongwenwu Bai After seeing the official's reaction, Shao Xi understood how exquisite and magical the green mist and purple cloud yarn woven by yarn girls in this era was.
You must know that all this cloud yarn was woven by the gauze girl and the weavers with their hands. Only now Shao Xi truly realized the difficulty and miraculous skills of the gauze girl.
"Holy Master, this cloud yarn is called Qingmai Ziyun yarn. It is a specialty of Yujiang County in the south of the Yangtze River. What you see in front of you is hand-woven by a friend of mine. This yarn is used by the royal family even in Jingyuan. Gongsha, my envoy got it from the friend because of some relationship with him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to get this thing even if they spend thousands of gold."
Zhao Hongjin couldn't help but admired loudly: "Such a beautiful thing is hard to find in the world, not to mention a thousand dollars, even ten thousand dollars! I didn't expect that you would bring such a heavenly thing as a gift to my imperial sister. Now, all of a sudden I don’t know how many concubines in the harem will envy my imperial sister, who wouldn’t want to wear this wonderful thing on her body?”
"Uh--! To be honest with the Holy Lord, my envoy brought not just this horse this time, but a cart full of thirty horses. If all the concubines in the harem of your dynasty also like this green mist purple cloud Yarn, I can share some with them."
"Ah...! Thirty horses?"
Zhao Hongjin was not the only one to express such an exclamation. After hearing Shao Xi's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also exclaimed loudly.
Such exquisite cloud gauze, just one piece in front of me is enough to make people go crazy. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shao Xi opened his mouth, a cart full of thirty pieces appeared, like pulling a big cabbage. Everyone present doubted whether they heard it. wrong.
"Yes, exactly thirty pieces. My envoy pulled out all the green mist and purple cloud yarns woven in my friend's yarn workshop as a gift to Princess Haizhu when she came to your court this time. I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess will like it. This gift.”
"I like it! She will definitely like it! I guarantee you that the imperial sister will be extremely surprised when she sees this gift! Not only will she be surprised, but the concubines in the harem know that they can also get such a beautiful cloud yarn. You will also be pleasantly surprised!”
After admiring it for a long time, Zhao Hongjin turned around and walked towards his seat, muttering unconsciously as he walked.
"Thirty horses, my God! Thirty horses!"
Some people died, but not completely...
