They all stretched their necks and looked into the gift box, and saw that there was indeed a human-shaped ginseng on the red satin cloth in the box. Generally, ginseng is colored turmeric, but this ginseng is completely white, and The eyebrows are clear, and they actually look like a child. It took hundreds of years for the snow ginseng to take shape. Now that the snow ginseng looks like this, it is indeed a thousand-year-old thing and a rare treasure.
The ministers immediately let out a burst of envy and congratulated Chu Shaoyang one after another.
The smile on Chu Shaoyang's face suddenly disappeared. He stared at Namtso closely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"King Dingyuan, this is a gift from Prince Namu to the princess. This gift is very heavy. Why don't you come and thank His Highness the Crown Prince?" Mo Chuan glanced at Chu Shaoyang and spoke slowly.
Chu Shaoyang grinded his back molars twice, stood up, strode up to Namco, and gave him a fist.
"I beg your pardon that I dare not accept His Highness the Crown Prince's kindness. This snow ginseng is a rare treasure. There is no reward for no merit. My princess is not blessed to receive His Highness the Crown Prince's generous gift. Please take it back."
He actually refused outright.
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials were stunned and thought, isn't King Dingyuan stupid? When someone gives you such an expensive gift, it is a high regard for you and the princess, and the heavier the gift, the more it represents the sincerity of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you don’t accept it, it will be in vain!
Namtso laughed loudly and said: "No reward for no merit, the prince is right, but the prince gave this gift to the princess out of selfish motives. I am known as the smartest person in the world, but today I lost in the competition." I gave it to the princess. This is the first time in ten years that the prince has tasted defeat. However, the prince is not convinced, so he wants to ask the princess to compete again tomorrow. I heard that the princess is ill, so I gave this snow ginseng. I hope the princess He will recover soon and can compete with me again."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden gasp of air in the hall.
The ministers were discussing again.
"What? Another competition?"
"Sure enough, it's the weasel who wishes the chicken New Year greetings. He's not so kind!"
"Not bad, not bad. What do you mean by giving me thousand-year snow ginseng? That's it!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously unwilling to admit defeat. After all, is our Princess Dingyuan still afraid of him?"
Everyone was refreshed after taking in the air-conditioning. They were originally worried that the Prince of Eastern Qin would come up with two tricky and weird problems to embarrass Xi Chu. When they heard that there was going to be another competition, they were all relieved. tone.
They all thought that if the princess could beat him the first time, she would naturally win the second time. In this second competition, Xi Chu would definitely win!
"King Dingyuan, since His Highness the Crown Prince has good intentions, please accept this gift on behalf of the Princess."
"Your Highness must accept the invitation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's it, let the princess compete again, and let the prince be convinced that he lost."
Seeing that Chu Shaoyang remained silent, neither answering Namco's words nor picking up the gift box of snow ginseng, everyone tried to persuade Chu Shaoyang.
Chu Shaoyang was extremely angry. Of course he knew why Namtso asked for another try. It was because he was unwilling to give in. He never forgot his agreement with her. He wanted to take her away from him after winning the competition.
How could he agree to this!
But if he says no in front of everyone, he will become the biggest sinner of the Western Chu Kingdom, the target of public criticism, and the target of thousands of people!
