The King's Stunning Concubine

Chapter 11 A Birthday Gift Made by Myself
"Haha, this woman's eyes are so sharp. I hate being noticed the most. I'm already low-key enough. To a thief, being low-key is the kingly way!" Lin Qianqian reluctantly faced the welcome hall The eyes on a colorful glazed tree in the center retracted, I really want it, I really want it, it’s all precious glazed crystals, it’s worth a lot of money.

"I have long heard that the second young miss of the Lin family looks like a fairy, but I don't believe it. Now that I have seen her true face, I know that what the world says is true." The Prime Minister said, being amazed by Lin Qianqian's appearance.

And the son of General Zuo who was at the side also praised: "If anyone can marry such a beautiful woman, they are really lucky."

"You two were joking, ha ha." Lin Qianqian didn't want to say more, and only smiled at the two people's hospitality.

But Lin Qingqing also knew what Lin Qianqian was thinking, the more Lin Qianqian didn't want to face it, the more he would make her feel uncomfortable.Afterwards, Lin Qingqing brought several sons of famous merchants and sons of powerful ministers in the court to introduce Lin Qianqian, and even introduced Lin Qianqian on her own, which made Lin Qianqian the most eye-catching in the field. woman.

Lin Qingqing's behavior won the praise of the merchants and generals present, but only she knew in her heart that as long as these people entangled Lin Qianqian, and she added fuel to the flames, Lin Qianqian could be married. In that way, Nangong Xuanye I will never have anything to do with her again.

"Prince Yu is here, the Ninth Prince is here." Suddenly an attendant announced loudly, and then everyone gave way. Lin Qianqian watched the Ninth Prince walk into the arena wearing a dragon robe with four claws and seven patterns. On the right is Nangong Xuanye with a frosty face and cold eyes.

These two people are people who are valued by the emperor today. Although the Ninth Prince is young, he is deeply loved by the emperor.Prince Yu is known as the most capable prince in the current dynasty. In terms of ability, both the common people and the dignitaries of the court hope that Nangong Xuanye can inherit the throne. In this way, the national strength of Qingluan Kingdom will surely rise again. Floor.

Without saying a word, the two entered the hall first and took the main seat. The Royal Prince Nangong Xuanye should not have been in the main seat, but Nangong Xuanshuang had been friends with Nangong Xuanye since they were young, and they were siblings, so they didn't Avoiding red tape, Lin Qingqing followed Nangong Xuanshuang's request and set up two main seats to sit side by side.

"It's my king's birthday today, and I would like to express my gratitude to everyone. Thank you for taking the time to participate in this king's birthday, come." Nangong Xuanshuang clapped his hands, and then the attendants poured a glass of wine at the tables of all the people present.

"This is the Kunlun wine that my father bestowed on me, and I will drink it first to thank you." Nangong Xuanshuang drank the wine in one gulp, and then all the people shouted that the Ninth Prince's birthday is a thousand years old and auspicious for a hundred years, and they raised their glasses to drink again.

"It's so spicy, what kind of wine is this?" Lin Qianqian resisted the spicy feeling, but the wine turned into sweet water that refreshed the heart. "Hey, that's interesting." Lin Qianqian didn't know if there were any more, but she looked around, only to find that no one seemed to want more wine.

"Today is my lord's birthday, and my father got a pair of exquisite magnetic beads a few days ago, as a gift to my lord." The son of the prime minister presented a jade box, and the waiter took the jade box and put it in front of Nangong Xuanshuang. Nangong Xuanshuang opened the jade box , two eyeball-sized beads lying unpretentiously inside.

"These exquisite magnetic beads can attract each other or repel each other, which is really strange." The prime minister's son explained.

Nangong Xuanshuang put the two beads on the table, as the prime minister’s son said, when one of the beads was pushed, the other bead would be pushed away by an invisible force, but if the beads were turned on the other side, they would attract each other. It caused the people present to be amazed.

Cut, it's just a magnet, what's so curious about it.Lin Qianqian glanced at her mouth, but the gifts from the people behind made Lin Qianqian stare intently at the gifts piled up around Nangong Xuanshuang.

Double-leaf gold jade, precious emerald vases, holy red crystal fruits, silver boats and treasure rivers, and strange items from other regions. These things are either gold or silver, silver or gems, and they are not gems. I have never seen them before, but The gleaming luster and texture, with years of experience, Lin Qianqian concluded that these things must be more valuable.

Lin Qianqian's nose was blocked and her mood was surging. Lin Qianqian stared at those things intently. She wanted to touch them so much, so she just touched them.

Suddenly Lin Qianqian felt a chill, but it was Nangong Xuanye who was on the main seat who noticed her gaze, and her eyes, which were more attractive than precious pearls, were stabbing Lin Qianqian's heart.

Damn, does he know what I'm looking at?Won't let me see?I want to see it!Lin Qianqian wanted to stare back in anger, but at this moment Lin Qingqing came out.

"Qingqing is not talented. There are no gold, silver, jade, or rare treasures. There is only a picture scroll painted by Qingqing. I hope the prince will take pity on Qingqing and reluctantly accept it." Behind Lin Qingqing are two maids. walk together.

"Miss Qingqing has arranged the entire meeting place for this king, which is already the best gift. Why do you need to say this? Miss Qingqing is willing to prepare another gift for this king. This king is already very happy. Why do you force me to say it? Show me quickly Go." Nangong Xuan clapped his hands and shouted.

Lin Qingqing nodded and waved her hand. The two maids behind her stood in front of her, and one of them stepped forward and opened the scroll.

First, there are thick ink dots, bloody and purple colors, and then there are soldiers and horses fighting, and the sky is full of red clouds. Finally, there are thousands of troops and horses, raising swords and shining soldiers. The most striking thing is that one of the generals roared to the sky, his eyes seemed to emit lightning , an extremely handsome face, but it is not incompatible with this scarlet war. Instead, it fell into the world like a beautiful god of death, howling at the sky for injustice.

Amazement, praise, endless.

"This is Qingqing's work, it's called "Picture of Hundred Battles of Generals", I hope the prince will accept it with a smile." Lin Qingqing bowed slightly.

Nangong Xuanshuang was also attracted by this painting and couldn't extricate himself for a long time. Lin Qingqing's painting can be said to be his favorite. I like military warfare since I was a child, and the sixth brother I admire is also a famous general in the world. This is even more so. Let yourself be fascinated by the art of war, and dream of going to the frontier to command thousands of troops, and go straight to the enemy's imperial capital. Thinking of this, Nangong Xuanshuang couldn't help but take a closer look. This look, Nangong Xuanshuang saw some clues .

This general, like, Sixth Brother? !
Nangong Xuanshuang took a look at Lin Qingqing who bowed her head, and said nothing, it was no secret that Lin Qingqing fell in love with Prince Yu.

"Miss Qingqing, such a masterpiece must be handed down to the world. I don't want to keep this thing alone. How about putting it in the Yongle Library in the city for the common people to admire?" Nangong Xuanshuang suggested.

"As long as the prince likes it." Knowing that Nangong Xuanshuang liked the painting, Lin Qingqing was secretly delighted. She was able to overwhelm those vulgar things without spending a single bit of money, which is enough to show that her talent is the best in the world.

Suddenly, Prince Yu Nangong Xuanye, who had been silent all this time, spoke, and looked at Lin Qianqian with a stern face: "Lin Qingqing is the best in the world in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so as her younger sister, what do you give my brother?"

Lin Qianqian once again became the object of attention in the arena. I really hate this kind of attention. Lin Qianqian walked to the center and took out a pair of long flat wooden boxes that she carried with her.

The wooden box is very simple, let alone how unique the wood is, just like the box sold on the street.

Lin Qianqian opened the wooden box and took out a rather large square white brocade. The white brocade was outlined with red lines to form a square. Under the brocade, there were many oval chess pieces with red and black characters written on them.

"What is this?" Nangong Xuanye asked coldly.

"I heard that the prince likes martial arts, so I made this box of war chess!" Lin Qianqian said that the chess invented by the predecessors was made by herself without blushing.

"Oh?" Nangong Xuanye narrowed his eyes, exuding an irresistible charm, and all the female guests present could feel their hearts beating involuntarily.

Everyone present was also very curious, and they were all looking forward to Lin Qianqian's explanation, because Qingluan Kingdom also had its own wargame, and this wargame was invented by Prince Yu Xuan Ye. At this moment, Lin Qianqian came up with a new wargame, This feeling seems like a challenge.

"Let's see." Xuan Ye said lightly, not seeming to care.

Lin Qianqian shook her head: "Just talk but not practice, you only know the shape, not the meaning."

Nangong Xuanye raised his eyebrows, and there was a look of anger, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye: "What do you want?"

"Your Highness, can you play a game with me?" Lin Qianqian said expressionlessly, but she cried out in her heart, promise me, promise me, hurry up, I'll give you a pawn?No, I will let you have one horse and two carts, and I will still overturn you, hahahahaha.

Nangong Xuanye smiled coldly: "Play chess."

Lin Qianqian was secretly delighted to see Nangong Xuanye stepping down from the main seat. A person as arrogant as him would usually be asked to go up to find him. The reason why he came down by himself must be to defeat himself in front of everyone, and then laugh at himself. Fan, do you think you are awesome?Just wait, and you will suffer.

The waiters arranged the chess pieces according to Lin Qianqian's request, and then everyone around them gathered around and looked at Nangong Xuanye and Lin Qianqian in the middle. Nangong Xuanshuang and the son of General Zuo also sat aside. Sitting aside, it was Nangong Xuanye who signaled.

Lin Qianqian explained the rules in front of everyone, and answered the questioners. Within a moment, everyone present understood the rules.

"Your Highness, do you need Qianqian to give me some money?" Lin Qianqian asked deliberately, she was waiting for this moment, haha, you almost made me lose my virginity that night.

Nangong Xuanye glared at Lin Qianqian angrily, "No need, you go first."

Damn, if you don't, you don't need to stare at people, but this guy is so good-looking even if he stares at people, wait, it's not the time to be crazy.

Not long after this game of chess was played, Lin Qianqian ended with the Double Cannon General.

Faced with such a result, some people were surprised, and some were worried that Lin Qianqian didn't take herself seriously because she didn't give Prince Yu face so much.

Nangong Xuanye concentrated for a moment, and the people around saw that Nangong Xuanye didn't speak, and they didn't dare to speak. After a while, Xuanye said, "Xuan Shuang, Zichen, what do you think?"

Nangong Xuanshuang was the first to speak: "Sixth brother, this is a few steps, but it conforms to several tactics such as attacking the heart, layout, temptation, and strong attack. This is really" Nangong Xuanshuang didn't know how to describe it.

"It's really broad and profound." Zichen, the son of General Zuo, said: "This kind of war game can completely apply the art of war we have learned and seen, and the enlightenment it gave me has made my understanding of art of war even deeper. .”
