Book with Emperor

Chapter 43

"There are too many rumors about the emperor in the world, but there is only one legend about his death, that is, he accompanied a woman to die in love on Donglai Moliu Mountain. After his death, a blood-colored red lotus grew in the place where the blood flowed. , the world calls it, the lotus in the palm."

Lin Hong raised a smile and looked at the crowd, "The so-called lotus in the palm refers to the woman whom the emperor will never forget all his life."

"It is said that those who get the lotus in the palm will be blessed by the emperor. Standing at the peak of power, they will also be cursed by the emperor and will eventually die miserably. This flower is rare in the world, and there are only three in Canglan."

"..."

Notwithstanding the illusory legends, when Lin Hong finished his words, some people shouted the price. They did not set a low price, but in an instant, they had already shouted 3000 taels. Obviously, they all wanted to own this rare flower related to the Son of Heaven.

Seeing that Qin Guanyue was also staring at the lotus in the palm, Ning Si thought she liked it, so he also raised the price, and it rose to 5000 taels in a while.

"Since the lotus in the palm refers to the emperor's beloved, why did it become a highly poisonous thing?"

Xiao Mingyang lacked interest, but after turning his head to look at Qin Guanyue, he suddenly raised his hand, "6000 taels."

Qin Guanyue frowned, "What are you buying this for?"

"Research and research, maybe I can research an antidote for you."

"..."

Qin Guanyue's eyes faded, "Xiao Mingyang, if the five countries don't go to war, you will be my friend for a day. It doesn't mean that I am willing to accept your love, and it doesn't mean that I am willing to do things for Xiangwei."

"Since you said you are friends, shouldn't friends help each other?"

"Thank you, but no need."

"Okay." Xiao Mingyang said helplessly.

Ning Si was even more convinced that Qin Guanyue liked this lotus in the palm, so he shouted more vigorously.

After all, he is the prince, and half of the princes present had played with him before. Seeing that he really wanted it, they all stopped asking for prices.

Seeing this, Ning Si laughed, and said to Qin Guanyue, "Guanyue, you must accept this flower."

Just after he finished speaking, he felt a chill down his back, and his scalp felt numb for no reason.

Then I heard a middle-aged man standing in the opposite pavilion, raising his hand and shouting, "1 taels!"

Everyone was slightly startled, not to mention the money or not, who in the capital doesn't know the second prince?Is this person ignorant, or deliberately challenging?
Ning Si also had an ugly face, but he couldn't suddenly take out 1 taels of silver in his private treasury, so he said kindly to the middle-aged man, "I want to give this flower to someone else, may you give me a high hand?"

When a prince said this, he already lowered his posture, and the others didn't think that the other party would refuse.

However, the middle-aged man turned around and looked at the screen behind him. Obviously, he was just a follower, and the real master was behind the screen.

He only heard a deep voice between a teenager and a young man coming from behind the screen, with a very cold tone.

"No."

"..."

Everyone had different expressions, trying to guess who the person behind the screen was, and they didn't even give face to the prince.

"okay."

Qin Guanyue stopped him and turned her gaze to the screen in the pavilion, "The highest price wins, it's just a rule."

Under Ning Si's embarrassment, he inevitably felt a bit of hostility towards the person behind the screen, so he asked the servants of Lin's mansion, "Who is that person behind the screen?"

The servant bowed his head, "I don't know."

Ning Si frowned, but he didn't force it. After all, he was in the Lin Mansion, even his brother had to be courteous. After all, no one wanted to offend Da Xi's richest businessman.

Sure enough, the prince said a few words kindly, which eased the atmosphere, everyone laughed and the banquet continued.

However, the second prince lost face and was suffocating in his heart. He didn't take any photos of the things behind the screen, and the people behind the screen were as quiet as if they had never made a sound. Instead, the prince took photos of a few precious jewelry.

After the banquet, the crown prince was greeted and greeted by everyone, Liu Wuxin walked up to Ning Si holding an amber phoenix pattern comb that was the finale of the banquet.

"I heard that His Highness the Second Highness has never liked flowers, so I must have bought the lotus in the palm for a beautiful woman."

As Liu Wuxin said, he glanced meaningfully at Qin Guanyue next to him, and handed the brocade box to Ning Si, "Since the lotus in the palm has been taken away by someone, don't take it to heart, after all, the Lin family can hide it so much. A person of status must have a deep background. Wuxin couldn't bear the disappointment of His Royal Highness, so he gave this amber phoenix pattern comb to His Highness as a gift for a beautiful woman, and please Second Highness don't dislike it."

When Ning Si heard this, his heart became more and more angry, but he couldn't take it easy on the people in the Prince's Mansion, so he refused with a sullen face, "No need, it's just a lotus in the palm. If His Highness wants it, he can find the first Two plants!"

Liu Wuxin frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "Second Highness, don't be impulsive, that person..."

Ning Si didn't finish listening to her, and left in a flick of his sleeves.

Seeing this, Liu Wuxin frowned, turned around and held the brocade box to follow the prince's side, and sighed, "Your Highness, Second Highness doesn't want to accept it."

The prince snorted coldly, "Leave him alone, let him go to hell, anyway, the emperor will take care of him."

"..."

On the other side, Ning Si walked out of the Lin Mansion with his guards. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said angrily, "No one in this capital takes His Highness seriously!"

The guard hurriedly persuaded, "The Second Highness is the second prince today, who dare not take you seriously!"

"Then why can't I even buy a single flower!"

Ning Si said angrily, "I promised to send Miss Qin flowers, but I was slapped in the face in front of so many people. Now the whole capital knows that the Second Prince is poor and cowardly!"

"Your Highness..."

"No, I can't bear this anger."

The more Ning Si thought about it, the more unpleasant it became. He caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man and a young man in white walking out of Lin's mansion. The middle-aged man was the attendant who was standing in front of the pavilion just now, and the other party was holding a bonnet plant in his hand. Flower pots covered with cloth.

Ning Si was overjoyed, and turned to ask the guard beside him, "How much do you rank among the masters?"

The guard replied, "Third."

"it is good."

Ning Si pointed at the pair of master and servant, "Follow them, beat them up, and then grab the flowers back for me!"

The guard hesitated, "Your Highness, this is not appropriate..."

Ning Si raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? My Highness must get back this face today, or the whole capital will laugh at me tomorrow!"

The guard had no choice but to follow Ning Si quietly to the master and servant.

Not far away, Qin Guanyue and Xiao Mingyang saw this scene clearly.

Xiao Mingyang smiled and said, "You guessed really well, this second prince is really a no-brainer, he will be fooled as soon as he is provoked."

"It doesn't matter if he is fooled, I'm just afraid that it will involve me." Qin Guanyue's face was cold.

"You really don't know that woman named Liu Wuxin?"

"do not know."

Qin Guanyue watched as Ning Si followed the people into a small alley, followed by Xiao Mingyang.
