Baihui respectfully presented a wooden box, and said: "Concubine Shizi, the giver of the New Year's gift is still waiting at the Dongyi Gate."
Nangong Yue smiled and motioned for her to open the box, and she saw a thick stack of bank notes inside, each with a face value of one thousand taels.
How much silver should this box hold! Que'er's eyes were staring straight, and he blurted out: "Shi Zifei, this side concubine is really generous!"
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, it wasn't the big show of clothes, the big show was Kui Lang.
However, what Kui Lang wants to buy is his country, so what is a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver? !
Nangong Yue said lightly: "Retire!"
Therefore, the banknotes in this box were sent back by the same route.
Of course the matter was not over yet, the next day, Bai Yi sent someone to come here without giving up.
This time, the gifts were a box of longan-sized pearls and a jade ruyi with faint light, which seemed to be of great value at first glance.
Nangong Yue glanced at it, then ordered her servants to retreat.
Bai Yi has never been a person who would give up easily. For the third time, he sent two boxes of precious medicinal materials, including a thousand-year-old ginseng and a Tianshan snow lotus. Judging by the appearance, they are both rare treasures.
But what I got was just another "retirement".
On the fourth day, the maids in the yard were chattering and chatting early in the morning, not knowing what the Baiyue saintess would bring over today.
As expected, at exactly the right time, someone from the post station came over again.
The people who came to give gifts in the past few times asked Baihui and the others to send the box in, but this time it was different, she asked to visit the crown princess in person.
Nangong Yue agreed.
"Slave Lorna sees the Crown Princess."
The maid Lorna, who was dressed in a moon white dress, looked elegant and elegant, with a unique exotic style of Baiyue people in her deep eyebrows. Although she has been in Dayu for nearly two years, her accent still has a bit of bluntness.
She directly presented a sandalwood wooden box in her hand. The wooden box was square and square, surrounded by extremely intricate and delicate wisteria flowers, elegant and delicate. This box alone already makes people have the idea of "buy the box and return the pearl". It is conceivable that nine out of ten of this box are not ordinary products.
Luo Na opened the lid of the box, bowed her head and said, "My Concubine, this bead is called 'Tian Shui', and it is a rare and rare treasure in the world.
On the red velvet cloth in the box was a bright pearl the size of a baby's fist. Even if it was daytime, you could still see the soft white light from the pearl in the box.
Although this is a precious pearl, it is not enough to move the hearts of the people in the room. After all, there are not no pearls of this size in Bixiaotang's warehouse.
Luo Na continued calmly: "I don't know if the concubine Shizi has ever heard the statement in "Amitabha Shuchao": 'A bright pearl is thrown into turbid water, and the turbid water has to be cleared'?"
This sentence is a famous saying in the Buddhist scriptures, of course Nangong Yue knows it.
She also knew that there was a similar sentence in the "Nirvana Sutra": "If a mani pearl is thrown into muddy water, the water will become clear."
So, is this pearl...
The maids in the room also thought about it, and they looked at each other in surprise. The Mani Orb is the divine orb mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures. Could it be that there is such a magical treasure in this world? !
Lorna naturally sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere in the room, straightened her waist, and said confidently: "I also ask the princess to give the servant a basin of dirty water."
Nangong Yue gave her a wink, and the thrush went down, and after a while, she personally brought in a copper basin, which was half filled with dirty water.
Lorna held the box and walked to the water basin, and carefully put the sky water beads in the box into the muddy water.
The maids watched without blinking. When the pearl was put into the water, there were shallow ripples, and the faint white light fainted around along with the ripples...
A miracle happened, the water that was originally so turbid that the bottom of the basin could hardly be seen became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, all the filth settled on the bottom of the basin, and the water in the basin was as clear as a mirror.
The maids couldn't help but exclaimed, Lorna's mouth curled up a little, and then she lowered her eyebrows and took out the sky water beads in the water and put them back into the box. My Baiyue's national treasure, Tianshuizhu, I hope the princess will accept it with a smile."
After the words fell, the room fell silent.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond for a long time, Lorna's back broke out in a cold sweat. If this is not accepted by the Princess of Zhennan, then...
"Submit it up for my concubine to see."
Finally, a clear female voice sounded, and Lorna finally let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as the Crown Princess is willing to accept it!
After Lorna returned to the station and reported to Bai Yi, Bai Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, he has been tossing and turning in his clothes, and his already slender figure has lost a lot of weight.
Now that Xiao Yi is on the battlefield ahead, Bai Yi also knows that Nangong Yue can't reply to her in just two or three days. attitude, but this Nangong Yue is really a soft-hearted, watertight...
Counting the days, Bai Yi carefully selected today and ordered Lorna to specially send Baiyue Zhibao.
She was fidgeting all morning, worried that Nangong Yue would not accept it, worried that Xiao Yi felt that the conditions they proposed were not attractive enough...
Fortunately, Nangong Yue accepted the Tianshui Pearl, which means they can talk!
As long as Xiao Yi is willing to talk, everything will be easy!
Putting on his clothes and twitching his mouth, he sat in front of the desk, wrote a greeting card, and sent it to Bixiaotang.
In less than an hour, she got a report, and the Crown Princess of Zhennan ordered her to go to Bixiao Hall tomorrow.
The next day, Baiyi met Nangong Yue in the Xihong Hall of Bixiao Hall. What they wanted to talk about was related to military and national affairs. Those maids and women had been dismissed long ago, leaving only Baihui and Huamei in the hall serve.
Although he wanted something from others, Bai Yi still put on an attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing, and said to Nangong Yue Yingying with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the concubine Shizi is getting more and more charming. Bai Yi finally came to Nanjiang , if the concubine is free, I really want to pay my respects to you every day."
"Put clothes on side concubine." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "We Ming people don't talk dark words, so you should be clear about why we invited you here today."
Hearing the words, Bai Yi suppressed the smile on his face, and asked a little nervously: "That day, my lord invited me, I wonder what the concubine Shi Zi thinks?"
Nangong Yue picked up the teacup, gently skimmed the tea foam with the tea lid, and said casually: "Your lord's sincerity seems not enough."
There was a "thump" in her heart while she was putting on her clothes, she smiled calmly and asked, "What does Shi Zifei mean?"
Nangong Yue took a sip of tea, and asked without answering: "All of my Southern Xinjiang army are good men, and the three cities just want them to fight for your lord on the battlefield?"
He put his clothes on and said, "But His Majesty the Emperor of your country has personally agreed to His Highness Kuilang!"
"'The general is out, the king's life is not acceptable'." Nangong Yue put down the teacup in her hand, frowned embarrassingly, and said, "What's more, Nanjiang has just experienced a big battle now, and its troops have suffered a lot. , I still need to recuperate for a few years, presumably the emperor will be considerate."
"you… "
Bai Yi bit his lower lip, and tightly held the armrest of the armchair.
Great loss of troops
With a huge loss of troops, they wantonly invaded Nanliang
With a heavy loss of troops, they can still enter the capital of Nanliang unimpeded all the way
Did Nangong Yue think she was stupid by talking nonsense like this
There was a tightness in the chest of the clothes, but it's a pity that the current situation is not as good as others!
She gritted her back molars, tried to calm herself down, and said with a smile: "... I hope the princess can speak up."
There was a silence in the hall, Nangong Yue casually put down the teacup in her hand, and then said: "After thinking about it, I think that in addition to the three cities to the north of the Lominga River, there should also be the three cities to the west of Annan Mountain. The Seven Cities of China, that’s about it.”
Her tone was understated, as if she had bought a piece of jewelry casually.
But Bai Yi took a deep breath, and promised that the three cities north of the Luominga River had already cut off a huge piece of flesh and blood from Baiyue, and if he added the seven cities west of Annan Mountain...
This Xiao Yi has such a big appetite that he is willing to poach half of their Baiyue away!
