Chapter 130

Zhunli's complexion turned from white to blue, and he was extremely dull. Anyone who looked at him knew that Zhunli was trying to restrain his emotions at this time.But Prince Yu didn't seem to know it, propping his head with one hand in a lazy posture, while knocking on the table with the other hand.

Qi Yunliang's little habits in daily life have taught Prince Yu a lot at this time, seemingly unintentional small actions, but have a great impact on Zhun Li.The more boring Prince Yu's actions were, in Zhun Li's view, it was a reaction of contempt for himself.But now Prince Yu was making knocking noises, and such a soft knock was undoubtedly counting the time and waiting for Zhunli's answer.

"Okay, this king promises you, if you can unlock this lock box, this king will marry the city as your princess when she gets married."

"My lord, please think twice." Zhunli's attendant tried to stop Zhunli's promise but was interrupted by Zhunli's raised hand.

Although Zhun Zhun agreed, but the emperor didn't say what kind of marriage method, no matter how arrogant Prince Yu is, the emperor would not dare to make decisions for the emperor.

He waved his hand and said: "My lord Zhunli may have misunderstood. This lord only said that it was the princess' marriage, but he didn't say whether it was your princess from Dongqi or my princess from Heyuan. This lord is just a lord. Naturally, these important matters are handled by my father." It’s up to you to be in charge.”

"Prince Yu's advances and retreats are measured, I am very relieved, but I also appreciate the courage of the prince Zhun." The emperor had a smile in his eyes, he obviously took advantage of all the advantages, but he still wanted to be a good boy.

Zhun Li was startled to realize that Prince Yu's words had gone in, but it was too late to regret, and her eyes could not help but turn a little red.Seeing the Emperor and Prince Yu singing together like this, one can't help but wonder if the people's reasoning about not being able to open the lock box is a trap set by his father and son.Just thinking about it, they didn't know that they would do this beforehand, and they were even annoyed that they fell into Prince Yu's trap because of impulsiveness.

"Okay, since this is the case, this king will bluntly ask Prince Yu for a favor."

"My lord, please speak frankly."

"Just now, Prince Yu said that I don't have anything that Prince Yu favors, but I like Prince Yu's. I'm afraid that Prince Yu won't give it up, and the prize I want is Prince Yu's concubine."

Zhunli's hand pointed directly at Qi Yunliang who was sitting next to Jun Qi, the greedy look in his eyes was true, and he knew that Zhunli's choice of Qi Yunliang as a prize was not simply to make Prince Yu look bad, but also to make Prince Yu look bad. I really moved a little bit of my mind on Qi Yunliang.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Yunliang again, but fortunately, Qi Yunliang knew it well and didn't have the slightest fear or shame, which made everyone a little surprised.If it was an ordinary woman, she would have been so angry at this moment, she would have left the banquet blushing.On the other hand, Qi Yunliang had a relaxed expression on his face, as if he didn't listen to Zhunli's words.

After all, he noticed that Jun Qi was a little bit angry. Although he restrained himself, how could Qi Yunliang who was sitting beside him not notice it.Passing a glass of wine to Jun Qi's hand, he said softly: "My lord, just give it a try, I believe the lord is the one."

Such a concubine's concubine's concubine's intentions, and careful management of this kind of disturbance gave birth to a sense of beating mandarin ducks, but it made people feel a little shameless.Even if you are not ashamed, it is just a thought in Heyuan people's mind. In the eyes of Dongqi people, if you like it, you can ask for it. As for whether you can get it or not, it depends on your ability.

Jun Qi didn't say a word, followed Qi Yunliang's hint just now, and opened the lock box with ease.Putting the unlocked lock boxes on the wooden tray, Wang Gonggong came to Zhunli with the tray in his heart.

"Please also ask the prince to check."

"This... how is it possible?" His face was regretful, but his tone was very firm.

There was a trace of displeasure between Jun Qi's brows and he asked back: "Why does Prince Zhunli think that no one, I, He Yuan, can solve this box?"

"It is said that in ancient times, a Lu craftsman tested his son's intelligence with one of his six pieces of wood, and his son was dismantled overnight. Although the prince Zhun Li replaced the wood with gold and put the wooden box with three organs, everything changed. Ignore it, even if it's just a rumor, ignore it, how difficult is it to unlock it?" Qi Yunliang understands the meaning, no one has verified whether this legend is true, after all, it is a legend left by the ancients , but since there is this lock box, there must be some research on this legend.

After all, the lock box is just a mortise and tenon structure that originated in ancient buildings. Since Lu Ban was able to learn his method in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is not surprising that there are capable people in Dongqi who can emulate it.

"A naive child can be solved, but Dong Qi holds it like a treasure. If it weren't for the earnest prince's persecution, this king would not be willing to do so."

Such a blow would undoubtedly be fatal to an arrogant and conceited person like King Zhunli, so at this time Zhunli couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped up against the case, pointing at Jun Qi and saying, "I, Dongqi, sincerely seek peace, Not only did He Yuan not treat each other sincerely, but he also took the opportunity to humiliate me, Dong Qi, since He Yuan has no intention of rehabilitating, once I report it to my emperor, he will not seek to humiliate him again."

Zhun Li's angry and anxious pair of bloodshot eyes looked a little frightening at this moment, and some timid concubines were already pale.Although Zhunli's fury was unexpected, it was reasonable.His sarcasm first came before Prince Yu's humiliation. Although it was unsatisfactory, it can be considered that there was an antecedent before there was a consequence.

But at this moment, everyone knows that if both countries can fight, there will be no gathering today.So the emperor opened his mouth and reprimanded Prince Yu to save Zhunli some face, but if Zhunli endured such a big atmosphere, how could he calm down if he didn't let out this bad breath.Although the emperor comforted him with kind words, he was drinking poison to quench his thirst, which aggravated Zhunli's inner desire for revenge.

If you lose your city and suffer great humiliation, you will never give up if you don't get back one or two things.The emperor knew well that right now he was just trying to maintain peace on the surface, and a palace banquet ended in this somewhat embarrassing atmosphere.

When Prince Yu and his wife were about to leave the palace, they were stopped by the prince, "My lord, stay here. Your majesty asks Prince Yu to return to the palace to discuss matters."

Qi Yunliang was faintly worried that the emperor would be resented by the emperor because Jun Qi acted too much today, so he grabbed Jun Qi's cuff, and while he was tidying Jun Qi's robe, he whispered to him not to provoke him again. The emperor is angry.

Jun Qi took her hand in his and rubbed it lightly twice to signal her not to worry. "The concubine will go back to the mansion first, so as not to disturb the emperor's discussion with the prince."

After watching her get into the carriage, he walked towards the Chongyun Hall together with Wang Gonggong. When he arrived outside the main hall, he was stopped by Wang Gonggong just as he was about to go into the main hall.

"My lord is a smart man. Right now, the emperor's face is furious, so my lord should be more careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, father-in-law."

Sure enough, as the prince said, the crown prince and Lord Jingshuo were kneeling in the hall at this time, and the emperor still had an angry expression on his face. After seeing Prince Yu walk in, the anger and injustice did not decrease but increased a little.

Prince Yu also knew that his behavior at today's palace banquet was too unrestrained, and it was inevitable for the emperor to be angry at this time, but what is the meaning of the prince and Prince Jingshuo here.
