Chapter 170: The gift that was ridiculed by the crowd
Ye Rong carefully prepared a gift this time, and among his entourage, there were young people like Jiang Chen and Tian Shao who had been in the limelight recently, as well as genius disciples of Qianlan Nangong like Ling Qianli.
I thought that this time, I could show my face.
Unexpectedly, Ye Dai was even more ruthless this time, and three of the entourages he brought were from the Spirit Realm! This was unthinkable in the past!
In addition, the gift prepared by Ye Dai, the Huanglong Guanhai Chart, simply set the tone as soon as he appeared, and other people's gifts, in front of the Huanglong Guanhai Chart, were simply a joke, not at all at the same level.
"Fourth, what have you prepared this time? The third prince, Ye Zheng, smiled a little provocatively.
Ye Rong felt Concubine Dan's gaze looking at him, and tried to calm down in his heart, telling himself that he couldn't lose his temper and must be steady. No matter what, the demeanor must not be lost, and the dignity must not be lost in front of the old man and Concubine Dan.
"Sister Danfei, the old man is a master of the world, a worldly thing, the younger brother is afraid that his old man will not be able to see it, so this time he visited a thing, but it was a cub of a saber-toothed flying fox. This thing is very spiritual, although the Tiangui Kingdom is large, it can raise this fox spirituality, except for the old man, I can't think of anyone else. ”
As soon as Ye Rong said this, even Ye Dai was slightly surprised. glanced at Ye Rong meaningfully, and secretly felt a little unhappy.
It can be seen from this gift that Ye Rong has indeed put a lot of thought into it. This saber-toothed flying fox, although it is not a precious beast, but if it can raise its spirituality, over time, it can transform into a spirit beast, which is equivalent to having an additional spirit beast equivalent to a strong person in the spirit realm.
The most important thing is that this saber-toothed flying fox is more spiritual than ordinary beasts in the cub stage, very psychic, plus it is not big, its appearance is extremely cute, and the feeling at first glance is also extremely pleasing.
Moreover, the old man Ye Taifu does not have many hobbies, and raising all kinds of rare and exotic beasts is also his biggest hobby. The saber-toothed flying fox cub sent by Ye Rong is naturally not as valuable as the Huanglong Sea Chart, but if it is about the old man's hobbies, it is a different matter.
"Ye Rong, this bastard, it seems that his ambition is immortal. He is so scheming, naturally he wants to please the old man, could it be that the prince born to a concubine still wants to compete with me, the orthodox, for the crown prince?" Ye Dai did have reason to be unhappy.
Ye Rong's recent performance made him very unhappy.
Concubine Dan saw the saber-toothed flying fox cub presented by Ye Rong, the little thing had a pair of beads and bones, and her chubby palm was holding a fruit, and if no one was eating it well, it looked cute.
Women naturally like pets, and seeing that this little thing is so cute, Concubine Dan also likes it very much, and she couldn't help but tease it twice.
"Fourth, where did you find this little guy? Concubine Dan smiled and praised it seemingly unintentionally.
Ye Rong was happy in his heart, but he said modestly on his face: "This thing was also obtained by chance." ”
How did he not know how to say that Sister Danfei's seemingly unintentional praise was actually to let him show in front of the old man.
I was a little grateful in my heart, and I knew that Sister Dan was still good to him after all.
Although Ye Dai still maintained a personable smile on his face, his heart was as disgusting as eating a fly. Sister Danfei was actually kind to Ye Rong, which made Ye Dai feel very uncomfortable, as if her beloved things had been taken away by Ye Rong.
At this moment, Lu Wuji, who was behind him, suddenly said: "The fourth prince, this saber-toothed flying fox cub, is really a novel plaything. But I don't know what the three behind the fourth prince of Lu Dao have prepared for the old man?
This law is unscrupulous, and he knows how to seize opportunities. He saw that Ye Dai was calm on the surface, but he was definitely unhappy in his heart.
Seeing this opportunity, the time has come for the law to know the Tao and share the worries of the master.
You Ye Rong steal the limelight, then attack your entourage. Let your entourage be embarrassed, so as to smooth out the limelight of your Ye Rong.
In Lu Wuji's opinion, Tian Shao is a captain in the district, a person who can't get on the stage, even if he is promoted to deputy commander now, he is still a poor ghost, how many good things can he have? Taking a step back, whether or not he has prepared a gift for the old man is a question.
And Ling Qianli, that is the disciple of Qianlan Nangong, his personality is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, he is simply a guy who does not understand the world, where will he prepare any gifts?
As for Jiang Chen, this guy has some good things, but it is the first time he has participated in this kind of occasion, and he has never seen the world, so he will prepare a generous gift?
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Wuji's words came out, Ye Rong's originally smiling face stiffened slightly.
Lu Wuji, who was good at observing words and feelings, immediately captured this detail, and guessed that Ye Rong definitely did not let his subordinates prepare gifts.
Especially this Jiang Chen, he has not been in the royal capital for a long time, and he will be willing to spend a lot of money to prepare generous gifts?
It seems that I made the right bet.
Sure enough, the eldest prince Ye Dai showed an appreciative look, glanced at Lu Wuji, and said with a smile: "Fourth, your flying fox is indeed very good, and you are also very attentive when you think about it." In this way, I am also a little curious about the gifts prepared by your entourage. ”
Ye Dai's eyes were very vicious, how could he not see Ye Rong's embarrassment. In this way, it is natural to fall into the well and embarrass Ye Rong.
If Ye Rong really didn't let his entourage prepare gifts, then this face would be embarrassed.
Ye Zheng has always had a very poor relationship with Ye Rong, and at the same time, he is also a loyal friend of the eldest prince Ye Dai, and when he saw the eldest prince speak, he also echoed: "Yes, fourth brother, you are so attentive this time, it is impossible to let the entourage come empty-handed, right?"
This is a little explicit. It's just that Ye Zheng has always been rude, and his straightforward style is not surprising to others.
Some of the other princes, who had nothing to do with themselves, were naturally happy to watch their excitement.
And the princes and ministers, the children of the princes in various places, when it comes to matters between princes, it is naturally impossible for them to stand up and say anything. The most important thing is that they are not qualified to say anything on such an occasion.
It seems that the scene is hee-hehe-hehe, and the atmosphere is very good.
In fact, it was the sword and sword shadow, and they beckoned to Ye Rong vigorously.
Ye Rong never thought that the eldest prince's side would be so openly difficult, and for a while, the smile on his face was slightly stiff.
Concubine Dan had a delicate heart, and when she saw this, she knew that this was Ye Dai's action to suppress Ye Rong.
smiled faintly: "Okay, the so-called treasure offering is nothing more than a fun." The old man is not trying to dictate who must give what gifts. ”
Ye Dai smiled casually and didn't say anything.
Ye Zheng pretended to be confused: "Sister Dan, don't be so partial." We have prepared gifts for our entourage, so you want to save money for the fourth child. ”
This is half joking, half serious. But it was to further oppress Ye Rong.
Ye Rong was depressed this time, and every year before, his entourage did not prepare gifts. And between the major princes, there is no such sabre-rattling, openly making it impossible for each other to get off the stage.
This Ye Zheng seems to be joking, but his intentions are actually very sinister.
Just when Ye Rong was at a loss and was about to say a few words, suddenly Jiang Chen behind him smiled lightly and said reproachfully: "Fourth prince, I'm really embarrassed, the first time I participated in such a grand event, I was nervous all of a sudden, but I even forgot to present the carefully prepared gifts." The old man is highly respected, as the spiritual king of the country, how can we, who are juniors, not send a heart? This pot of wine can be regarded as a heartfelt gift from the three of us. ”
After speaking, Jiang Chen took out something from behind him, but it was a wooden wine jug. The shape of this wine jug is unremarkable, it looks like a wine jug made of green vine, but it seems that it is by no means a precious thing.
Seeing Jiang Chen take out such a wine jug, Lu Wuji laughed "poof".
The appearance of this wine jug is really unbearable. It's worse than the flasks in the general market. The wine that people put out to sell, so that the foreign minister will look better and be more generous.
What is this flask? Vulgar, rudimentary, unsightly.
If you throw this kind of thing on the street, I'm afraid no one will pick it up. This Jiang Chen was actually used to hold wine, and as a gift, it was given to the old man Ye of the Spirit King of the Protector Country!
This...... This is nothing short of blasphemy.
Seeing the wine jug that Jiang Chen took out, the expressions of other people on the scene were also very exciting.
Some are sarcastic, some are surprised, some sneer, some shake their heads, and some are incredible.
Obviously, anyone present wanted to get it with the soles of their feet, where is this kind of carefully prepared gift, this is definitely forced by Ye Zheng There is no way, and he temporarily took it out of his body.
Perhaps, this guy is a drunkard at all? This wine jug is what he carries with him?
"Prince Ye Rong, this time it's a shame. This entourage wants to share the master's worries, but I'm afraid it's stupid, right? Where is this worry, this is simply a slap in the face of the master. ”
"Does this person have a problem with his brain? Where did Prince Ye Rong find such an unreliable entourage? Alas, except for the second prince Ye Qiao, who may be able to compete with the eldest prince, these four princes Ye Rong are still a lot worse. ”
"This time, I'm afraid that Sister Dan won't be able to exonerate Ye Rong. ”
The people present had different thoughts, but they all had the mentality of watching the excitement and wanted to see how this farce would end.
Ye Zheng slapped his forehead and said with an exaggerated smile: "Fourth, are you sure you are not mistake......n?" This is what you call a well-prepared gift?"
"Ha Lu Ha, it is really carefully prepared, this gift is indeed different, it is simply wonderful, Ha Lu Haha!" Lu Wuji did not hide his mockery at all.
"Fourth, you didn't ask your entourage to prepare gifts, so you just said it! Take out such a thing, dirty people's ears and eyes, this is not good!" Ye Zheng said again.
It was Ye Dai who smiled, stood up and said, "Okay, this little episode should be used to enliven the atmosphere." Sister Danfei, this thing, let's withdraw it first, otherwise...... The fourth child didn't look good on his face. ”
This Ye Dai pretended to be a good person, a brother who cared about his brother.
Ye Rong was also slightly surprised, and glanced at Jiang Chen, but saw that Jiang Chen seemed to be smiling, and he didn't care about the cynicism of the outside world.
With his understanding of Jiang Chen, Ye Rong felt that Jiang Chen would definitely not take out a tattered one for no reason, and said lightly at the moment: "Big brother, since they are all gifts, why do you want to withdraw them." There are many things, just looking at the appearance, what can be seen? There is a saying, gold and jade, and ruined in it. What looks good on the outside is not necessarily a good thing on the inside. On the contrary, what is inconspicuous in appearance is not necessarily something bad. ”
Ye Dai was stunned, he didn't expect that this fourth child, who had never been grandiose, was not only not grateful for his "liberation", but also contradicted him!
