Chapter 29 (16)

Cheng Jiaxuan responded, reached into the package under the seat and took it to touch it, but then she felt empty. She tried hard to recall when she left Yinxue Palace with Shen Shiyun, she seemed to be too hasty and had sex with Xuanshuang so much that she forgot about her spirit. She untied the jade horse she carried with her and placed it in a gap in the bookshelf to prevent it from accidentally breaking it while chasing.

This was originally out of caution, but when he left, he forgot to take it. He smiled stiffly and said, "This is my carelessness. I forgot to bring the jade horse. Please forgive me..." He also did not forget to find a reason and crossed his fingers and pointed: "Don't you blame that Li Yijie? He has been asking for trouble for me all day long, which makes me feel angry, so this mistake happened. The empress knows that I have always been cautious in doing things on weekdays..."

Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Since you are careless, don't blame others for your sins. No one was born to blame you." Li Yijie finally heard Shen Shiyun speak slightly to him, but he didn't know if he was intentional in order to set rules for Cheng Jiaxuan, but he still felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Yes, I should die. Then... what should I do now?" Shen Shiyun said, "If you make a mistake, try to make up for it. There is still time in front of you. You can go back to the palace to get it. Don't run too fast. Be careful of causing trouble. If you fall on the road and break the jade horse, I will not let you go easily." Cheng Jiaxuan hesitated and said, "This...but..." His fingers twisted the corner of his clothes and looked at Xuanshuang pitifully. Shen Shiyun said, "Why, can I still have to go there in person?"

Xuan Shuang jumped up, dressed up her clothes, and said, "I'll go with Xiaoxuan too." Shen Shiyun said, "Sit down honestly for me! I think Xiaoxuan is not so incompetent that she can't even carry the jade horse on the rack. That's true, there's no need for me to raise her."

Li Yijie felt mixed feelings. Even if Shen Shiyun didn't show affection for Cheng Jiaxuan and Xuanshuang, she was not targeting herself. At most, she could only show that her human feelings are becoming less and less popular. If she had no bad roots in her nature, she shouldn't have been corrupted so seriously by the environment in just six years. But in his eyes, Shen Shiyun was as perfect as a goddess. If she had to believe that she was a common man who was greedy for power and enjoyment, she would break the beauty in her heart. How could she bear it?

All the gifts were priceless, one by one, and one by one. In fact, Prince Fu may not have really made such many friendships. The people in the palace were the best at currying favor with the situation. Seeing that the emperor held a birthday party for this Han prince, he could imagine how much he was favored. If he could win over his relationship with him, he would also get more benefits in the future.

Li Yijie knew about such major officialdoms, but he was unwilling to imitate them. He had the idea of ​​not wanting to be with him, but he was also powerless. He defected to Shen Shiyun with nothing, and his financial resources were not allowed to be squandered. The third and most important point is that he was not a person with fame and fortune. He was the leader of the alliance and stayed in the palace for Shen Shiyun. As long as he could stay with his beloved woman, he would be content and would not be willing to compete for the upper hand.

The birthday gift was coming to an end, but Cheng Jiaxuan had not turned around. Shen Shiyun lowered her face and whispered a few words to a servant who was accompanying Yinxue Palace. She temporarily changed a gift and offered it, but she was already annoyed.

After the gift was presented, Prince Fu walked onto the stage under the leadership of several people. Although Li Yijie knew that today was his fiftieth birthday, he was still very smart and capable, and at a glance he was only 30 or 40 years old. He also had a heroic fighting spirit. It is enough to imagine that when he was young, he would be invincible in fighting and swept across thousands of troops. It is no wonder that he was favored by the emperor.

Prince Fu walked to the middle, held his fists and bowed to all sides, and then bowed to Shunzhi and said loudly: "The emperor is busy and time-consuming to celebrate his birthday for the old minister. I thank the Lord for his kindness. I wish my emperor a long life."

Shunzhi smiled and said, "Prince Fu is so polite. You are a great hero in our dynasty. I wish the Qing Dynasty would have a few more loyal generals like you. Compared to the treasury, why should I fight hard?"

Prince Fu said: "How dare the old minister receive the reward from the emperor for nothing? It can be seen that the elders who gave the congratulatory gifts have put a lot of effort into collecting rare treasures. The old minister is really ashamed of it. I am afraid that I will not sleep well in the future. The emperor and the Qing Dynasty treat the old ministers well, and His Majesty the First Emperor treat me more kindly. Now, I will take this opportunity to give the old minister a gift to the Qing Dynasty and then entrust it to the national treasury as a treasure for the country."

Shunzhi smiled and said, "This matter is, Prince Fu. Although you have good intentions, you are really a bit unruly. There are no monarchs and ministers here today. You are the birthday master. Just accept gifts calmly. How could you give gifts in reverse?"

Prince Fu said: "It is just because that gift means wealth from heaven, and it is not the result of hard work of the old ministers. All the world is the king's land, and the treasures that appear on the land of the Qing Dynasty are also owned by the emperor. The old ministers... really dare not embezzle any."

Lu Qian whispered, "Concubine Yun, I think this old thing looks like an old fox." Shen Shiyun said lightly, "Oh, did you realize it? If he hadn't bully the subordinates and bewitched by the emperor in this way, how could he be favored by the late emperor? I even suspected that his touching deeds of bravely rescuing the Lord was just a trick. He could also make all the civil and military officials in the court go around, but he was still a little capable. Well, speaking, it's your family, learn more."

Prince Fu has already ordered: "Come on!" Several servants carried a large box covered with jewels and diamonds onto the stage, placed it in front of him, and each retreated. Shunzhi said: "Prince Fu is such a big battle. I have also heard that a special gift will be displayed at the banquet, but I didn't expect it to be the hands of the prince. What kind of treasure is that? I was a little curious."

Prince Fu smiled and said, "Prince, please see, it's here." As he said that, he opened the lid of the box with both hands and took out a short silver knife from it. The handle of the knife was made of a faint blue crystal. As soon as he was out of the box, a burst of breath immediately brought out a hint of cold air. The strength of this sword made no one easily ignore it.

Shunzhi spoke first and smiled and said, "Okay, it's a good knife! I don't know where Prince Fu got it. It's so good to keep it secret. I don't know at all."

Prince Fu is a wise man. He knows that the emperor likes his subordinates to be smart, but he is unwilling to be too smart. Otherwise, he will be able to conceal his throne everywhere and be unable to guard against it. He can hide something without leaking it, but he will have a grudge in front of outsiders, but he will leave a grudge in the heart of the emperor. He hurriedly said: "The old minister has only obtained it recently. He is just to give the emperor a surprise at the banquet, so that the servants can conceal the truth and not report it, but they are not intentionally deceiving the emperor..."

Shunzhi smiled and said, "Okay, I didn't scold you again, why should I be so nervous? This knife is indeed exquisite..." Seeing that this matter was over, Prince Fu smiled and said, "The more exquisite one is still behind. Please see, the emperor-" As he said that, he raised his palms and buckled it, and two servants walked onto the stage. One was tall and strong, while the other was short and thin. Prince Fu gave a look and signaled that the thin person leaned over and picked up the short knife, while the strong person held a giant axe in his hand. After being verified, it was really made for the elite iron. The two walked to the middle of the stage, stood face to face, and each raised his weapons high.

At the beginning of this competition, the difference in strength was too great. It was almost impossible to see how the result was. Many timid concubines were panicked, blinding their eyes with their hands, but still couldn't stand the excitement and watched from their fingers.

A servant of Prince Fu's mansion on the side of Taiwan called out loudly. As soon as the word "three" fell, two weapons were wrapped in strong wind and welcoming each other. A sharp blade clashed with each other, and something was cut off by the air and fell heavily. When everyone stared at them, it was really unexpected that the iron giant axe broke. Even the other end was affected and could not hang on the handle of the axe. It swayed twice, and the handle was broken.

This is not counting. What is even more shocking is that the two pieces of axe that fell on the ground each showed vertical and horizontal cracks, spreading all the way, covering the whole axe body. A few crisp sounds were made, and then cracked into countless pieces along the fine lines. These pieces were as cracked as before. After repeated several times, a wisp of powder on the ground was invisible.

Everyone was shocked for a moment, but Prince Fu stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled. Then he tried copper, silver, gold, and the short swords, and the weapons that collided with it, were defeated one after another.

Shunzhi first came to his senses, stroking his hands and smiling, "Okay, okay! This is really a treasure knife! Prince Fu, have you given a good gift to the Qing Dynasty! I wonder if the treasure knife has its name?"

Prince Fu smiled and said, "Go back to the emperor, there is a name. There was a period of time before, and he was quite famous in the world. However, the meaning of literal disassembly is a bit ruthless. On such a festive day, I don't want the emperor to misunderstand anything. I also said that the old minister intends to be unfavorable to the court. Is the name? It's nothing more than a title. Since the treasure sword has been owned by the emperor, I asked the emperor to give it a new name, which also indicates that the treasure sword completely belongs to the emperor. It means that the Qing Dynasty will always ensure good weather and prosperity, peace and prosperity in the country. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

Shunzhi said: "Why did Prince Fu suddenly become superstitious? Even if it once had a name that shocked the Jiuzhou, it was the intention of the old people to intimidate the world. Why should I sin with this? Besides, if you have just made great contributions, if you have two intentions, why should you give me a special sword? Is this sword still retaining its original name. My dear, but I say it's okay."

Prince Fu said: "It is one of the 'Seven Evils' that were circulated in ancient times, and it is a life-seeking kill."

There was another surprise and sigh in the field. Some old ministers in the court followed Nurhaci when he was in charge of the Later Jin regime. At that time, they had heard that Prince Shurhaci of Heshuozhuang planned to become independent and seek the treasure of the Seven Evils usurped power. Later, Shurhaci was secretly executed by his brother, and the Seven Evils that had appeared were missing. This matter was temporarily suppressed.

Unexpectedly, after many years, I saw treasures buried here for many years. Especially this life-seeking slash and the afterimage sword, which were called together, were once the swords and swords of Shurhazi when fighting on the battlefield. Ordinary people even want to see it from a distance, but they cannot get it.

Shunzhi smiled calmly and said, "So that's the case. The name is indeed not auspicious, but to think about it from another perspective, the word "destiny" is the destiny of the rebels, which means it has a very good meaning. I am very curious, I don't know where my dear friend has collected this peerless treasure sword?" Seeing that all the officials were panicked, he pretended to be calm and calmed down the chaos.

Prince Fu said: "The old minister is old and is useless. How can he have such skills? That is a gift from a young hero to the old minister."

Shunzhi was polite to talent and said, "Oh? Can you ask that young hero to come here and see me? I want to reward you on my merits!"

Prince Fu smiled and said, "Since the emperor summoned him, how dare he resist the order? However, the old minister happened to have something to report to the emperor. I have privately admitted that he has become an adopted son and have not yet made it clear to the emperor."

Shunzhi smiled and said, "Authentication. This young man has extraordinary skills. If he can keep him to serve our dynasty, it will be an endless help. Prince Fu can find talents for me. This is another great achievement, and there is no happiness for both parties."

Prince Fu smiled and said, "The old minister will thank the emperor for his son." He whispered a few words to the servant beside him, and the man took the order and left.

Lu Qian frowned and said, "It's strange, it's strange, is it a real life-seeking slash? How could it be in the hands of that old fox?"
