Book with Emperor

Chapter 42 Red Lotus
Indeed, as Ning Si said, everything exhibited at the Lin Family Wenmei Banquet is rare in the world.

The first item is a pearl the size of a baby's fist naturally formed on the coast of the South China Sea. With a broad fishtail shape, complete facial features, and slightly closed eyes, it looks like a lifelike and beautiful woman at first glance.

"There are rumors in the world that there is a tribe of sharks in the South China Sea. They have human faces and fish tails. They look like a good-looking girl. They weep and tear into pearls and enter the sea after death."

There have been legends of sharks since ancient times, but this pearl comes from the South China Sea, and it looks like a shark, so it may be rare in Canglan.

There were many ladies from aristocratic families, or sons with beautiful hearts, all of them were moved immediately.

Ning Si looked at Qin Guanyue expectantly, "Miss Qin, do you like this shark bead?"

The pearl is indeed unique in shape, but in the view of Qin Guanyue, a materialist, it is purely a coincidence of nature.

"Beads of this shape are rare in the world..."

Liu Wuxin looked at Prince Ning Chen with a smile, but didn't say yes.

Ning Chen also thought the pearl was good, but turned to look at Qin Guanyue, "What do you think of the pearl, Master?"

Liu Wuxin paused for a moment with a smile, but looked at Qin Guanyue nonchalantly, "The young master is also a woman, so she must also like this kind of gadget."

Qin Guanyue inexplicably sensed a hint of hostility, and was a little puzzled, so she shook her head.

Ning Chen smiled and didn't force it, so he wanted to buy it for Liu Wuxin.

Liu Wuxin refused with a smile, "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, but I have never loved these jewelry."

Xiao Mingyang sneered, "If you are capable, don't even eat rice, just drink dew."

Qin Guanyue lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear.

Finally, after a price increase, the pearl was bought by a young man in brocade clothes in his early twenties.

"That's He Sheng, the grandson of Zheng Guogong's family. He has been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't like women. Zheng Guogong saved the emperor's wife in person, and the queen mother respects him a little. Stay away from him." Ning Si bowed his head to Qin. Guanyue whispered in his ear.

"..."

Qin Guanyue watched the arrogant young man walking towards her not far away, and said to herself, it's too late.

The grandson of Zheng Guogong was obviously a figure in the capital, and he walked towards the prince and the others in full view, but no one stopped him, and they were even waiting for him.

He Sheng walked up to Qin Guanyue, put one hand on the table in front of her, bent over to get close to her face, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, "It's really a good story for a beauty to be paired with shark beads."

There was a sudden murmur around, there were women's snickering, and there were also voices of envy.

Qin Guanyue moved her lips, and just when she was about to say something, she suddenly saw He Sheng holding a shark bead and sending it to Xiao Mingyang next to her.

Qin Guanyue: "..."

Everyone was also startled, and then someone gave a chuckle, and there was a burst of low-pitched ridicule.

Ning Si immediately got up angrily, "He Cheng, what do you mean!"

"What do you mean? Didn't I say it? A beauty is paired with a shark bead. I specially give it to a beauty, can't I?"

He Cheng's eyes glanced over Qin Guanyue contemptuously, and landed on Xiao Mingyang, "I don't know the name of this girl?"

There was a snicker in the yard, Lin Qing frowned slightly, Yao Que still looked lazy.

Prince Ning Chen frowned, and was about to speak, but Liu Wuxin who was beside him quietly pulled off his clothes.

Qin Guanyue herself was as indifferent as ever except for the initial astonishment.

Xiao Mingyang, who was lying on the gun, smiled in surprise, "For me?"

He Sheng smiled charmingly, "Do you like beauties?"

Xiao Mingyang curled his lips, "I haven't heard anyone call me a beauty for many years, do you know why?"

"That's because they have blind eyes."

"No, they dare not."

He Cheng originally intended to make Qin Guanyue's face, but now he became interested in the beautiful woman in front of him, "Oh? Why?"

"Because they dare not."

As soon as Xiao Mingyang finished speaking, Xiao Qi, who was silent behind him, suddenly drew his sword and stabbed He Cheng.

He Sheng was so frightened that he took a step back and almost collapsed on the ground, dripping cold sweat.

"Be merciful!" Lin Qing shouted in time.

Xiao Mingyang waved his hands casually.

Xiao Qi withdrew the sword with a cold expression, and retreated behind her.

The entire yard was dead silent, and everyone dared not even vent their breath.

He Sheng's legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground.

"You are the first one who dares to use me to show others off."

Xiao Mingyang looked at him condescendingly, and said with a half-smile, "Zheng Guogong's grandson, right? I'll write it down."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the brocade box containing shark beads, threw it in front of Liu Wuxin, and said to Ning Chen who was in awe, "Give it to your little lady."

Liu Wuxin clenched her sleeves secretly, and still showed a charming smile, "Thank you Miss Xiao."

At this moment, the servants from the Duke's Mansion thought of helping their young master, but He Sheng threw him away angrily.

He looked at Xiao Mingyang sternly, "You—"

"Come here, please Mr. He go out."

Lin Hong immediately asked He Sheng to be invited out, and his descendants, Qin Guanyue and Xiao Mingyang, apologized and gave them two treasures, and the matter was over.

Xiao Mingyang looked cold, "Being lazy and swallowing your anger are not the same thing. No matter how lazy you are, you have to beat the dog that bites the door at least once, otherwise the dog will think you are easy to bully and will keep coming to the door."

Ning Si was depressed and guilty, and felt that it was his responsibility that he brought her here but failed to protect her well, and he insisted on making up for her.

Qin Guanyue didn't soften her heart, she just said that she didn't like these things.

The auction soon came to an end, and the last item was brought up. It should be a flower plant, with a flower pot underneath, covered with light red gauze, and the faint outline of flowers and leaves can be seen, a faint cold The fragrance wafted into everyone's nostrils.

"Flowers and plants?"

"The last treasure this year is flowers and plants?"

"Maybe it's a flower with golden branches and jade leaves?"

"What's so strange about that?"

"that is……"

Lin Hong walked up to the pot of flowers and plants himself, and said mysteriously, "This is indeed just a flower and plant, but it is an unusual flower and plant."

Someone asked with a smile, "How unusual is it?"

Lin Hong smiled calmly, "These flowers... are related to the Son of Heaven."

Everyone was quiet, almost thinking that they had heard wrongly, the prince also opened his eyes wide in surprise,

"Everyone heard right, this flower is indeed related to the Emperor Jun of the Kamikaze Dynasty more than 500 years ago."

Lin Hong didn't show off too much, and raised his hand to remove the layer of red veil.

Everyone finally saw the flower plant that was said to be related to the legendary Son of Heaven.

It was really a delicate flower, with long slender stems and green leaves, and at the top was a palm-sized red red lotus, like blood and fire, so gorgeous and enchanting that people felt weird.

Qin Guanyue's pupils shrank.
