Everyone looked at it curiously, it was really strange that this black iron lock could be opened by something that is invisible when the wind blows
This is really a fantasy.
Lou Qingwu didn't care about the gazes around her, and of course she didn't see the mockery in Princess Zhaoxia's eyes when she saw her move.
At first I thought she had some great abilities, but that's all.
Just let her see how she makes a fool of herself in a while!
Lou Qingwu took the rice paper and pointed the powder at one corner, then lifted the lock on the box, and then poured the powder into it without haste, until the keyhole was completely filled before stopping.
Everyone was even more puzzled, except for one person, Shu Yunyan, the prime minister of Xiliang Kingdom.
There was a rare look of disbelief on his sickly face, and then he pursed his thin lips, his face was extremely ugly.
And as his sharp eyes narrowed calmly, Lou Qingwu supported the black iron lock with one hand, lifted a golden hairpin that had been pulled out of the hair with the other, pointed the sharp end at the keyhole, and opened it at will. After a few clicks, there was only a click, and the lock opened in response.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
But Shu Yunyan's eyes were completely dangerous.
Lou Qingwu raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, took the lock off with a few clicks, but did not open the box. This was a gift for Emperor Zong, and it was unreasonable for her, a little princess, to open it.
After finishing all this, Lou Qingwu stood up, turned around, and saluted Emperor Zong slightly.
"The courtier's daughter is showing her ugliness."
"Hahaha! Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand Qingwu, you are really smart." Emperor Zong also heaved a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face again, and everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, "However, Qingwu, What did you grind into powder just now? I know it's a graphite inkstone, but the one next to it can't be dirt, right?"
"Reporting to the emperor, this is not mud or mud, but clay."
"Oh? But why graphite and clay can open this black iron lock?"
"Graphite and clay alone are not acceptable, but they can be mixed together to form a special substance. I don't know about it, but I have seen someone use it like this, so this time it is a trick. Entering the lock, it can fill the position of the key, press the mechanism inside the lock, and then use any sharp object to open it, making the emperor laugh."
"No, Qingwu, your method is the only one, very good!" Emperor Zong praised a few more words, and Lou Qingwu responded one by one.
Only then did he return to his seat, and when he sat down, he inadvertently saw Princess Zhaoxia whose face was almost distorted with anger, and slowly pulled the corner of his mouth.
Princess Zhaoxia almost fainted.
"I wonder if this will satisfy the envoy?" Emperor Zong waited for Lou Qingwu to sit down before looking at the envoy expressionlessly.
The envoy did not expect that someone would be able to open the lock made of black iron. Moreover, Princess Rende explained how to open it in front of so many people. Wouldn't this directly break their Xiliang Kingdom's lock? Advantages of manufacturing precision carabiners? This can be said to have caused heavy losses to Xiliang Kingdom.
He is covered in cold sweat now, but the words have already been spoken, and he still has to continue.
The envoy took another look at Shu Yunyan, who nodded calmly, and the envoy regained his original composure.
"Naturally, I am satisfied. Your country has produced a large number of talents. Princess Rende really opened our eyes. Now that the first gift has been opened, then allow me to present this first gift to Emperor Zong. I hope Zong God can like it." After Shi Chen finished speaking, he walked over and put his hand on the edge of the box.
When everyone's eyes fell on it, they opened the box in surprise. At first, they thought it was some kind of precious jade, but unexpectedly, when the box was opened, everyone's eyes were immediately covered by red light all over the sky.
At the same time, a woman suddenly flew out of a small box. The red dress on her body was glowing red, and the stream of light flickered, revealing the face of a woman who is all over the country.
Depicting a delicate face, with a little red between the eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and dancing cloud sleeves.
It was so beautiful that everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
He could only watch the woman dancing gracefully with the red light all over her body, and she wore a few bells just right on her body, which rang as she danced.
It's like singing a Sanskrit song.
If the dance of Su Sheng that I saw at Lou Qufeng's family banquet was so soul-stirring, then the woman's is not a mortal, she is obviously elegant like a fairy, but the red in her body seems to be catchable by people, plus the red in her body The light made the woman dazzling to the extreme. In the end, when the light-white fingers were retracted, even if there was no piano sound to accompany the dance, everyone still couldn't bear to blink.
When the woman kowtowed profusely at last, the crowd came to their senses.
"Little girl Liuli, I have met Emperor Zong."
The woman is kneeling and prostrating, with her hands folded on the ground, her slender body leaning forward, her forehead resting on the back of her hands, revealing a slender waist, against the redness of her body, everyone's eyes are straightened .
Emperor Zong was obviously also froze, a dark color quickly flashed in his pitch-black pupils.
On his left side, Concubine Mei squinted, the corner of her mouth inadvertently raised a mocking smile, but when she raised her wrist to wipe the corner of her mouth, she skillfully covered it up.
Fortunately, Emperor Zong hadn't forgotten that he was the king of a country. He was stunned for a while before reflecting, "Young lady dances well."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes, and his long and narrow phoenix pupils could almost hook people's souls away.
Emperor Zong gave a low cough, and turned his gaze away: "Miss Liuli, please get up."
The woman stood up and stood gracefully aside. Someone from Xiliang Kingdom immediately came forward to carry away the empty box.
The envoy smiled and stood in the middle again, "Emperor Zong, this is the first gift from our country to Emperor Zong. I hope Emperor Zong will not despise him."
How could it be disgusting? If there is such a person in the harem, life will be much more fun.
Of course, Emperor Zong would not say this directly. He was extraordinarily calm and smiled, "The king of Xiliang has a heart, how could I dislike it? It's too late to rejoice." Emperor Zong said it just right, as if he was just thanking him The king of Xiliang just accepted the girl as a gift, but everyone knew it well.
Such a beauty, even if it is a secret agent sent by Xiliang Kingdom, it is hard to resist.
"As long as Emperor Zong likes it, the second gift is a jade plate." This time, the envoys of the Xiliang Kingdom did not come up with any tricky problems.
Clap your hands, and someone immediately delivered the things. It is really just a jade plate, the whole body is white, but it is as big as a millstone. Under the illumination of the night pearl, it glows like jade, as if you can feel the cool air on it. , if it is summer, sitting on it as a summer mat is really the best way to relieve the heat.
