Chapter 171: The result that made Concubine Dan's jaw drop in shock
Seeing this, Concubine Dan's lips opened slightly, and she smiled faintly: "Whether the thing is good or bad, it is better for the old man to evaluate it." Next. ”
Seeing that Concubine Dan lightly revealed the matter, although Ye Dai was not happy, he did not refute anything, smiled faintly, and retreated to his seat.
I was even more unhappy in my heart, Sister Dan looked fair, but in fact, she had already rescued Ye Rong twice. This made Ye Dai's heart feel as if there were countless small insects biting and devouring.
"Could it be that in the eyes of Sister Danfei, a prince who is born out of the concubine can be more worthy of her protection than me, a prince of orthodox blood?"
Ye Dai didn't believe it, he definitely didn't admit it: "It must be Ye Rong, a little ghost, who is usually good at stammering and making Sister Danfei happy." If you talk about talent and strategy, and about life experience, Sister Danfei must be more optimistic about me. She exonerated Ye Rong out of sympathy for the weak. However, at the height of the old man, how can there be such kindness of a woman who sympathizes with the weak? I, Ye Dai, am the best in every aspect!"
Ye Dai comforted himself in his heart and cheered himself up.
This farce, which was exposed by Concubine Dan, did not affect the atmosphere behind, the children of the nobles of each family showed their own magical powers, and there were also a lot of good things, which were presented one by one.
After a while, all the gifts were on the table.
Concubine Dan walked up to the old man: "Old man, this year is strange, each family has prepared a lot of gifts even for the entourage. The total number of gifts is twice as high as last year. ”
The old man kept his eyes half-squinted, like an old monk in meditation. Hearing Concubine Dan's words, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Take a look. The old man only said three words lightly.
These three faint words, but they seemed to have a special magic, which made many people present tremble slightly.
Everyone knows that after the old man sees it, he will point out the treasures that rank among the top three.
And these three people will be qualified to ask the old man questions in person and get the old man's guidance.
This is not only a matter of face, but also a real gain! In the entire Tiangui Kingdom, the people who want the old man to personally guide them can line up and can line up from the royal capital to the border.
It's just that there are very few people who can get this kind of opportunity.
These princes have always been guided by the old man, but they are all learning the same thing when everyone is together.
The old man will not be partial, open a small stove or something for anyone.
And this kind of face-to-face guidance is equivalent to opening a small stove. This kind of honor is also very fierce competition between princes.
First, it is to leave a good impression in front of the old man, and secondly, it is also to prove it to the monarch and prove that he has been looked at differently by the Protector Spirit King.
The old man walked slowly around the piled gift table. No matter which gift he looked, he didn't have any special expression, neither sad nor happy.
From the old man's expression, no one can catch whose gift has been approved by the old man, and whose gift is despised by the old man.
However, Ye Dai's mood was relatively relaxed. He was very confident that although there were many good things in the gifts presented by the various families this time, there was absolutely nothing that could compare with him.
The Huanglong view of the sea chart, whether in terms of value or quality, is definitely more than other gifts.
Including Ye Rong's saber-toothed flying fox cub, it was just a pet, a plaything after all.
And his Huanglong Sea View Chart is an absolute treasure, a treasure that is useful to the strong in the spiritual realm, this kind of thing is hard to find!
To be honest, Ye Dai hesitated for a long time to give away this treasure, and he also made a bloody investment. What he wants is nothing more than to win the favor of the old man and get the old man's appreciation, so that the old man can recognize him, the future prince and the heir of the monarch.
He knew that although the establishment of the prince was the business of the monarch and the ministers, the opinion of Ye Taifu was very important. If he doesn't approve of it, even if he is a monarch, he doesn't dare to make a decision easily.
In a sense, Ye Taifu's authority in the Tiangui Kingdom is higher than that of the monarch!
The monarch can be replaced.
And Ye Taifu, in the Tiangui Kingdom, there is no one to replace.
Concubine Dan has been patiently following the old man, smiling, and accompanying the old man to observe these gifts.
In fact, in the eyes of Concubine Dan, putting aside personal preferences, she does feel that the Huanglong Sea Chart is definitely the finale, which cannot be compared with other gifts.
It's just that Concubine Dan can't figure out what the old man means.
Just when Concubine Dan was speculating about the old man's thoughts, the old man suddenly asked, "Xiao Dan, do you think which of these gifts can be the finale?"
The voice was questioned, but he was not worried about the people below hearing it.
Concubine Dan was silent for a moment, but still said truthfully: "If you talk about quality, the Huanglong Sea View Chart should be the treasure of the finale. ”
"Well, Dan, you're not lying. The old man smiled faintly, "It's just that I won't choose it as the finale." ”
"What is this for?" Concubine Dan was slightly stunned, "If this thing can't be finalized, the rest ...... Wouldn't it feel unfair to choose the finale?"
"If they think I'm doing things unfairly, they don't have to. It was all voluntary, and the old man never asked anyone by name to come. The old man's tone was light, but there was a sense of detachment.
At his level, it doesn't matter whose face he looks at, whose mood he takes care of, or who he favors or suppresses.
He thinks it's good, that's good. He felt that it was not enough for the finale, that was not enough.
No explanation is needed. Whether you understand it or not, you can't change it, that's how the old man chose. You can doubt the old man's choice, but you can't doubt the old man's authority.
"Old man, Xiao Dan dared to ask, but why?" Concubine Dan was still a little curious.
"It's very simple, this Huanglong view of the sea chart is an imitation. The old man smiled casually, "But even if this is the original, the old man will not choose him for the finale." ”
"Imitation?" Concubine Dan was stunned, "The original is not enough for the finale?"
"Yes. There are two reasons, one is that the Huanglong view of the sea chart itself is made by the old man, but it is very old, and no one knows its origin. Hehe, Concubine Dan, you say, is it that I have lived too long, old man?"
"The old man has a long life, and he doesn't live long. It's the second reason, Xiao Dan really wants to know about Lu Dao. ”
"The second reason? That's not simple? Naturally, there is something, which is more attractive to the old man, and this thing, in the old man's heart, is the finale. ”
"Oh?" Concubine Dan was really stunned, there was something better? What is that? Concubine Dan was adopted by the old man since she was a child, and she knows the taste of the old man very well.
Can there be something more than the Huanglong Sea Chart that can enter the eyes of the old man, and she Concubine Dan didn't even notice it?
"Xiao Dan, let's start writing the list. Third place, Huangquan sea chart imitation, second place, saber-toothed flying fox cub, first place finale, Jiuhua Yulu wine!"
The old man waved his sleeves, held the inconspicuous wooden wine jug in his hand, and muttered in his mouth: "Unexpectedly, in the Tiangui Kingdom, the old man is lucky enough to see this Jiuhua Yulu wine, strange, strange!"
Obviously, in the long years of the old man, he has also tasted Jiuhua Yulu wine somewhere. Although it is not as crazy as Shi Xiaoyao and cannot be forgotten, but good things, with the passage of time, the impression left in the memory will be more and more profound.
This Jiuhua Yulu wine left a very deep memory in the old man's heart. And this time, this inconspicuous gift from Jiang Chen inadvertently awakened the old man's deep memory, which made the old man's eyes shine!
When Concubine Dan saw the old man's action, her whole person was messy.
For a moment, she almost wondered if the old man had made a mistake. But then he dispelled this ridiculous thought, how could the old man be wrong with such a vision?
However, this wooden flask, compared with the treasures piled up, looks like an ugly duckling in a flock of swans, and how shabby it looks.
Unexpectedly, the old man picked out this stone from a pile of jewels and chose it as the finale. This scene is too dramatic.
It's just that they can't see their actions on the stage, but they don't know what happened to Lu Dao, and they are all anxiously waiting.
At this moment, Concubine Dan walked out from behind the stage, and her melodious voice sounded again: "Everyone, after some tasting and selection by the old man, the three treasures ranked in the top three have been selected." ”
I heard that the treasures ranked in the top three have been selected, and these children below, who were still making a commotion, suddenly quieted down.
One by one, their eyes widened, full of expectation, and they looked at Concubine Dan, hoping to interpret the information that they had been selected from Concubine Dan's eyes.
It's a pity that Concubine Dan's eyes don't have any special signs, and there is no subjective thing on her elegant face.
However, the more Concubine Dan is like this, the more stable Ye Dai becomes. If Concubine Dan thinks that there is an accident in this top three list, it will be a little special, right?
Concubine Dan didn't say anything at all, what does that mean? It represents the things selected by the old man, there is no suspense, and his Ye Dai's Huanglong Sea View Chart must be the treasure of the finale.
There's almost no suspense about it!
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Dai's body also stood straight, and he took a step closer to the front of the stage, ready to meet this glorious moment when everyone was on top.
And his entourage also had a smile on the corner of their mouths, with a look of glory. Lu Wuji shot at Jiang Chen with a provocative gaze.
That clearly means to demonstrate to Jiang Chen.
How could Jiang Chen care about such a childish move by Lu Wuji, no matter who was the champion or who was the top three, Jiang Chen didn't care at all.
He was different from these people, but he didn't deliberately want to please anyone. Whether this old man appreciates or ignores it, for Jiang Chen, he doesn't mind at all.
Even if the old man covers the sky with one hand in the Tiangui Kingdom, so what? Jiang Chen has seen a strong man in his previous life, and the old man Ye Chonglou is not ranked at all.
To put it mildly, Jiang Chen in his previous life, even if his entourage had to choose his entourage, I am afraid that the level of this old man Ye is not qualified.
However, Ye Rong in front of Jiang Chen leaned forward slightly, showing his ambition to compete with the eldest prince.
Time seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Dan's sexy and moving red lips, waiting for the announcement of the results.
