The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 38: The Prince's Battle

There was a festive atmosphere in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.

With the end of the "Birthday Dance of the Immortals", the dancer slowly exited the hall, and then came the important part of the birthday gifts of the princes and princes.

Every year this link is the most exciting, it is simply a dance of gods and demons, to see whose gift is the most sacred heart.

First came Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying.

He waved his hand, and two strong men brought in a large blue and white bowl, which was one meter high and one meter in diameter. This thing attracted everyone's attention, wondering what was in the big deep bowl.

"Seventh brother, what is this?" Xiao Yan asked in a low voice.

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes at him: "Fish soup!"

"Really? So big?" Xiao Yan asked in shock.

Xiao Rui didn't want to talk to him.

"Imperial brother, what is this?" Emperor Xia asked curiously.

Xiao Mingying said with a smile: "Your Majesty will know it at a glance."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the Hercules to put down the big deep bowl, Xia Huang condescendingly finally saw what was in the bowl.

In the clear water, there is a koi with colorful scales and colorful tail.

"Your Majesty, this is a colorful phoenix koi found in the West Lake. It just complements the golden dragon koi in your majesty's imperial garden. Your majesty has many affairs in the country and has no other hobbies. One of them is to watch fish, so my younger brother took him Brought from the West Lake, I dedicate it to His Majesty on my birthday." Xiao Mingying laughed.

Emperor Xia was overjoyed, and said: "Your brother has a heart, come here, take good care of this colorful phoenix koi, and put it in the imperial garden." Speaking of this, Emperor Xia said again: "Be careful not to let someone stew it for me. gone."

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Xiao Rui's face suddenly became hot, and he was teased by his father.

"Brother Seven, it's really fish soup! Haha..." Xiao Yan also joked.

Xiao Rui didn't want to talk to him even more.

Xiao Mingying retreated to his seat, and Xiao Hanhai stepped out. He sent a seal, which was carved from chicken blood stone, which was quite satisfactory, and Emperor Xia responded with a few simple sentences.

After that, it was the fighting skills of the princes.

First of all, the First Prince Xiao Lie.

He bowed to Emperor Xia, and said with a smile: "Father, I heard that there is a magical plant in the sea, known as the seabed bird's nest, which has the effect of health care. I asked people to search for it on the edge of the East China Sea, and finally found it. To this thing!"

While Xiao Lie was speaking, two guards brought a blood coral, which was half the height of a person. The coral had a strange shape and thick branches. I don't know how many years it took for such a blood coral to grow, it is worth tens of thousands of gold!

"This thing is the blood coral, I dedicate it to my father." Xiao Lie said with a smile.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Lie'er has a heart."

The imperial concubine on the right smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in order to find this blood coral, Lie Er has sent people to the edge of the East China Sea many times, spared no effort, just to find it to celebrate His Majesty's birthday and express his filial piety."

She is Xiao Lie's mother, so naturally she wanted to praise her son's kindness.

But Empress Zhou Xiangyun smiled and said, "Yes, it is indeed rare for His Majesty to have such filial piety. But the East China Sea is vast and boundless. It must have cost a lot of manpower and material resources to find such a blood coral."

The imperial concubine Lin Yu'er continued to retort: ​​"No, it happened that a fisherman found this thing and found it from the vast sea. Doesn't it mean that this thing was lent by my son from heaven and dedicated to His Majesty?"

"Sister's words are really nice." Empress Zhou Xiangyun sarcastically said.

Xiao Rui watched the two start to fight, and was very happy. Is this the harem in dire straits? I don't know how Emperor Xia endured it. Every day is the biography of Zhen Huan.

"Okay." Xia Huang was not angry, and said with a smile: "I like this blood coral very much, come here, and put it in the imperial study!"

Eunuch Hai quickly ordered someone to remove the blood coral.

When Xiao Lie took his seat, everyone's eyes were on Xiao Yiheng.

Everyone knows that Xiao Lie is the eldest son of the emperor, but Xiao Yiheng is the son of the empress. Although there is no rule in Emperor Xia's place to establish elders but not young ones, and establish heirs and not concubines, but after all, it is a rule passed down from ancient times, which will more or less affect Xia Huang's judgment and decision, so Xiao Lie and Xiao Yiheng are more important than others. The prince has an advantage.

Xiao Yiheng came out, bowed and said: "Father, my son found a strange stone, named it a craftsman and carved it, dedicated it to Father, and wished Father a long life without bounds, as long as the heavens."

After speaking, the four wrestlers carried a Shoushan stone into the hall.

Good guy, the Shoushan Stone is only two meters high. It is actually a rare multicolored hibiscus stone, with purple, red, yellow, white, blue, and yellow colors, mottled and colorful. Moreover, the structure of the entire Shoushan stone is rugged, coupled with craftsmen's carvings, it actually depicts a sea of ​​mountains, rivers and clouds, which is lifelike and wonderful.

It is almost impossible to find such a large multicolored hibiscus stone, so Emperor Xia's eyes lit up and he said, "Wonderful, wonderful."

The corners of Xiao Yiheng's mouth slightly curved up, and his usual cold and arrogant smile was proud. He glanced at Xiao Lie, and then said: "To be loved by my father is the greatest affirmation for my son."

Empress Zhou Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Heng'er has spent a lot of effort to obtain this multicolored hibiscus stone, and invited several famous craftsmen to design patterns and do it by himself. Without affecting the natural appearance of the mountain stone, he carved it meticulously. There is this map of mountains, mountains, clouds and seas."

After finishing speaking, he quickly said to Xiao Yiheng: "Heng'er, let Your Majesty see your hands!"

Xiao Yiheng raised his palms, and sure enough, the palms and fingers were covered with bruises, which seemed to be caused by the knives used for carving.

Emperor Xia smiled and said: "Heng'er has a heart, this stone is very much in my favor, Haibanban, ordered someone to move it into the imperial study, and place it side by side with the blood coral."

"Yes!" Hai Dafu ordered Lishi to move down.

Xiao Rui smiled secretly in his heart, the treasures used by Xiao Lie and Xiao Yiheng are unique, there is a great momentum to compare who is the first, but for Emperor Xia, the sentence "put side by side" is classified into one category, it is estimated that the two people feel Not happy.

Next is the Third Prince Xiao Ze.

The birthday gift he gave was very ordinary, it was a Guqin, and it was also Jiaoyaqin, one of the top ten famous pianos in this world.

The fourth prince, Xiao Feng, gave him his beloved four-stone strong bow as a gift.

The birthday presents given by these two princes are all their beloved things. Although they are not as precious as those of Xiao Lie and Xiao Yiheng, they seem to be more important in their hearts, so Emperor Xia tried to play the Jiaoyaqin with his own hands, and played the four stones. Qiang Gong then said with emotion: "I am busy with national affairs all day long, but I have no time to cultivate my mind, so that I have become unfamiliar with piano and bow skills. I like these two gifts very much."

"Your Majesty's treasured sword is not old, and if you get used to it a little bit, you can regain its former bravery." Eunuch Hai joked on the side.

Emperor Xia laughed loudly as he waited: "Come here, send the Jiao Yaqin and the Four Stone Bow to the Imperial Study Room."

Xiao Lie and Xiao Yiheng's expressions were even more ugly.

Xiao Rui felt that Emperor Xia was a bit mean, and deliberately angered Xiao Lie and Xiao Yiheng, telling them secretly that the birthday gift is not expensive, the more expensive it is, the more it wastes people and money. And this was precisely what Emperor Xia disliked the most.

Then came the fifth prince Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ming.

The relationship between these two princes is the closest, so the birthday gifts they gave are similar in purpose. What Xiao Yuan sent was the blessing sachet that he personally prayed for when he went to Fochan Mountain, and what Xiao Ming sent was the peace talisman that he personally asked for when he went to Wudang Mountain.

Unexpectedly, these two items received the highest praise from Emperor Xia: "Yuan'er and Ming'er have a heart. Although the price of these two birthday gifts is not high, it makes me feel the filial piety of both of you. It is very good. Haibanban, Put the peace talisman in the sachet, and I will carry it close to my body."

"If you can make my father like it, I will feel at ease." Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ming responded in unison.

And next, it was Xiao Rui's birthday present.
