Chapter 86
Princess Linghua thought about it in her mind, and quietly walked to the side of the queen mother, whispered to the queen mother, and then heard the queen mother say loudly: "Please tell the emperor of your country, thank you for the generous gift of the country, my country will definitely accept it. It's just Mingyue Kingdom It is a big country, so there must be many skilled craftsmen, today is the birthday of my palace, and the main purpose is to celebrate the birthday, so how about answering the generous gifts of your country within three days?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's compliment, the envoy of the Mingyue Kingdom was very pleased and full of confidence. He was afraid that you would not agree, so he raised his voice: "Okay, three days will be three days!"

The envoy of the Mingyue Kingdom uncovered the red silk on the silver plate held by the second treasure-giving envoy. Inside was a scroll, which looked like a painting.

The envoy of the Mingyue Kingdom picked up the scroll and slowly opened it. It turned out to be a painting, but this painting was not drawn on paper, but on gauze, which was so light that it could see through the figure.The painting on the scroll is a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays. Except for the lightness and transparency of the scroll, there seems to be nothing brilliant about this painting.

As the picture scroll opened, the envoy of the Mingyue Kingdom said loudly: "The Mingyue Kingdom presents a gift, and a picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating their birthday." Then he turned around and looked around again, and said to the emperor and the queen mother, "This picture scroll, and this glazed cup. The requirements are the same, if no one can identify this object within three days, please present a prince or princess to our country as a guest."

The same thing was said again, and some of the surrounding ministers were already furious, and some even drew their swords and stepped forward, begging the emperor to execute this person on the spot.The general asked for a fight, and the civil servants scolded angrily. It was so lively.At this moment, the emperor got up and shouted at the ministers to retreat, and said to the envoy of Mingyue Kingdom: "Hmph, your country has underestimated my Liuli Kingdom too, there is one more thing, let's open it together."

The envoy of the Mingyue Kingdom uncovered the treasure that was carried up by the two treasure-giving envoys behind the cover: This object is very strange. It looks like an ordinary Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is carved from no discernable material. It is about two feet high. With benevolent brows and kind eyes, eyes and mouth closed, long ears drooping, hands clasped together, sitting cross-legged on a lotus.

The envoys from various countries, the emperor and the queen mother, as well as the princes and grandchildren and princesses present were all dumbfounded, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. Isn't this just an ordinary Buddha statue? Could there be another mystery?
The envoy of the Mingyue Kingdom said triumphantly: "This Buddha statue is called a closed-mouthed monk. If you can make this closed-mouthed monk open his mouth and eyes, as His Majesty has said, not only will you give this treasure as a gift, but you will also open the border market. Not closed for ten years."

As soon as this sentence came out, the Liuli King was taken aback. He said that the Liuli Country was located in the western border and was not good at farming, so many necessities of life were obtained from the border market.Although the city here opens regularly every year, it is far from meeting daily needs.If Mingyue Kingdom can open the border market for a long time, it will be able to obtain a large amount of grain, silk, tea, porcelain, salt, iron and other necessities.Among them, salt and iron are necessary for a strong country.The lack of salt and iron is also an important reason why the Liuli Kingdom is not strong.

Now Mingyue Kingdom actually took this as a bet, and the Emperor of Liuli Kingdom was moved.This is really worth a try, the Emperor of Liuli Kingdom immediately said: "Okay, it's a deal."

The emperor immediately asked everyone if anyone knew the three treasures, but no one dared to answer for a long time.

Seeing that no one could recognize it, the envoy of Mingyue Kingdom was even more triumphant, and said, "Small border country, short-sightedness is rare, haha, haha. Let's set a limit of three days. If you still can't recognize after three days, please send A prince or princess goes back with his servants, haha."

At this time, I saw a princess standing up from the group of princes and princesses, like a celestial being, walking to the first treasure with a smile, glanced at the glass cup, turned and said to the envoy of Mingyue Kingdom: "Thank you for the gift from your country!" , I hope that your emperor will not break his promise and open the border market as soon as possible. This first one will give you the answer today in less than three days."

The envoy of Mingyue Kingdom looked at the princess suspiciously, every hair on his face showed his disbelief: "Little girl, don't boast about Haikou, just tell me, what is the first treasure? "

This princess is none other than Princess Linghua. Princess Linghua summoned a maid to come over, whispered a few words in her ear, and the maid left in a hurry.

Princess Linghua summoned two eunuchs to bring up a table, and asked the envoy of the fairy treasure to place the glazed cup on the table.

Looking closely at this glazed cup, it is exquisite and transparent, with octagonal edges, attached to eight leaves, each leaf is engraved with different patterns, and there are six stamens in the cup. The whole glazed cup looks like a blooming flower.

This glazed cup is exquisitely carved, and the quality is also high-quality, but for the colored glaze country that is rich in colored glaze, this kind of colored glaze can only be regarded as top-grade, not the best.

Princess Linghua looked at the glazed cup, and said to the envoy of the Mingyue Kingdom: "You use colored glaze as a test to test the people of my Liuli Kingdom. I want to see if you are really talented or just bring yourself a shame."

Princess Linghua's words were not polite to the envoy of Mingyue Kingdom at all, and she wanted to slap him back hard for the provocation from other countries, which made the people of Liuli Kingdom feel relieved, and they all hoped that Princess Linghua could help Liuli Kingdom struggled.

Xiao Nianyou has no official position and is at the bottom of the business ranking, but the royal family takes special care of those who can rise to the top, which arouses the envy of many people and the contempt of many people. Sitting together would really tarnish their identities.

Xiao Nianyou was smiling, and his clear eyes contained admiration, hoping that Princess Linghua would sweep away the prestige and rudeness of Mingyue Kingdom in order to vent her anger.

Princess Linghua turned around and said to everyone: "Glass has existed since ancient times, and it is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism."

"I wish that when I attain Bodhi in the next life, my body will be like colored glass, clear inside and out, pure and free from blemishes." Princess Linghua chanted loudly.

"The quality of colored glaze is distinguished by color. Pure and even luster is the best quality, followed by moist and even variegated colors, and dull color is the second best. The best colored glaze is crystal clear and radiant. But there is also a kind of colored glaze. The extremely rare one is the seven-color colored glaze, the seven colors are evenly presented, and this is the top grade among the top grades." Princess Linghua continued.

Then Princess Ling Hua pointed to the glazed cup on the table and said: "This glazed cup looks like ordinary colored glaze. The color is neither pure nor warm and colorful. As far as the texture is concerned, it is at best the top grade."

When Princess Linghua said this, she looked at the envoy of Mingyue Kingdom, and saw that his face was full of joy, his complacency was beyond words, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. What Princess Linghua said now was nothing more than ordinary Liuli's distinguishing skills, which is different from Treasure is still far away.

Princess Ling Hua paused, and then said: "However, this glazed cup has a hidden secret inside. It was originally made by a master hundreds of years ago with painstaking efforts."

Having said this, Princess Linghua looked at the envoy of Mingyue Kingdom again, only to see that his complacency just now was gone, and his expression was flustered.After clearing his voice, he continued, "Master's conception is exquisite and his workmanship is so high that there is no one before or after."

Princess Linghua said this, she turned to the envoy of Mingyue Kingdom and said, "This glazed cup is originally called 'Tianxiang Glazed Bottle', I wonder if what I said is correct?"

The envoy of Mingyue Kingdom turned pale with shock, thinking to himself how could this young princess know about "Tianxiang Liuli Zun", but he didn't relax at all, and said, "The name princess is right, but..."

Princess Linghua interrupted him with a calm expression and said: "But I don't know how to use it, do I? Then please watch it."

At this time, the maid who went first came up with a silver basin, followed by two eunuchs carrying a Yaoqin.
