The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 35 It's called Diamond
"Your Highness, the third prince, it was the daughter of a commoner who was frightened by spiders, so she was rude to His Highness, and please forgive me." The daughter beside her was shaking like a sieve, and Hu Boyi could only speak.However, he was not feeling well at the moment, the cold sweat on his forehead had already been covered layer by layer.

"Yin Ji." Zhao Shenggao was not as angry as he imagined, but just gave orders to the masked woman in silver shirt beside him.

Yin Ji understood, and walked towards Hu Furong through the kneeling crowd.When the pair of silver shoes appeared in Hu Furong's sight, she stepped on the spider. The sound of 'baji' also shattered the fear in Hu Furong's heart, but before she could catch her breath, she fell into the current situation again.

After finishing the spider, Yin Ji turned around and left, but when she passed by Chu Qing's side, her cold eyes glanced at her before leaving.This made Chu Qing narrow her eyes slightly, as if a bad thing had been exposed in her heart.Could it be that she guessed that she put the spider on Hu Furong's head?However, she quickly denied this guess. Yin Ji didn't know the cause and effect, so how could she know the hidden truth?

Maybe it was because she was suspicious, Chu Qing lowered her eyes and comforted herself in her heart.

After Yin Ji came back behind Zhao Shenggao, the latter said: "Get up, it's just an accident, I hope everyone's luck won't be ruined, everyone, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Third Prince!" After thanking everyone, they slowly got up and took their seats according to the previously arranged seats.

Zhao Shenggao was also walking towards the highest position among the maids and servants.

As soon as Chu Qing took her seat, she received a vicious look from the seat of the Hu family, but she turned a deaf ear to it.

"A Li, if you are like this today, I am afraid that the Hu family will not let it go." Chu Zhengyang's voice was light and shallow in Chu Qing's ears.It seems that the eyes are not only clearly felt by one person.

Chu Qing smiled sweetly: "I just want to scare the snake, and the Hu family doesn't move, how can we fight?" She just wanted to do this on purpose, so as to provoke the Hu family to attack with hatred, so that she could find out the real power of the Hu family.She once told Chu Zhengyang on the way here that she would get it back from the business that the Hu family owed her.

At first Chu Zhengyang didn't understand what it meant, but now that he heard her explain it like this, he now understands it.

The banquet started under Zhao Shenggao's order. The wine was mellow, the food was tempting, and there were singing and dancing. After a while, don't forget the little episode caused by the daughter of the Hu family.

After eating and drinking for a while, the handsome man on the first seat, illuminated by the moonlight, suddenly waved his long arms, the music stopped, and the kabuki dispersed.A guard with a knife was holding an object covered by a red cloth with both hands, and carefully came up and placed it in the center.

"Everyone, this is a rare treasure that came to Southern Chu from across the ocean. No one knows about it in the capital of Jianning. My father ordered me to ask all the well-informed merchants when I am resting in peace. Does anyone know this treasure? Things." After Zhao Chenggao finished speaking, his whole body seemed exhausted, he leaned on the chair, his eyelids drooped, his eyelashes curled up, and his reflection hit his eyelids, as if he was tired.

He waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward and lifted the red cloth, revealing the mysterious thing.

hiss--

"Oh! What kind of treasure is this, so crystal clear and dazzling?"

"It's so transparent! Even the finest jade can't compare to it."

"I've never seen such a treasure before. I'm afraid it's hard to find such a precious treasure. I, Nanchu, can have one. God bless His Majesty, God bless His Highness!"

The sounds of exclamation, praise, and compliments pushed this item, which was completely unfamiliar to Nan Chu, to a peak height.Even Chu Zhengyang, who has always been calm, couldn't help being attracted by it when his eyes touched the object.

However, when Chu Qing saw the object, she was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly smiled.

In the hundred gardens, exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, but they can't attract half of the people in the garden. Everyone's attention is attracted by the rare treasures placed on the raised platform in the middle.

The maids around lit up the candles to make the palace lanterns brighter. After getting Zhao Shenggao's approval, several female officials took out the night pearls specially used in the palace.The light yellow of the candle flame, coupled with the coolness of the night pearl, two completely different lights shine on the transparent object, which only makes people feel bright in front of them, as if the object is getting brighter and covering up the other two kinds of light.

Dazzling, crystal clear.

The object in front of me seems to have a kind of magic power, driving people to approach it slowly.In the rustling, many people left the mat and went towards it.

Chu Qing grabbed Chu Zhengyang who was about to get up, and in the latter's questioning gaze, she slowly shook her head, and her eyes drifted to the guards standing around the strange treasure with a knife in their arms.

The faces of these two people are stern, and the brows are full of hostility. At first glance, they are not easy to get along with. At this moment, their hands are on the scabbard, and their thumbs have pushed the handle of the knife to a gap. The indifference in their eyes is like looking at a dead person Usually, look at those people who are attracted by the strange treasure and keep approaching.

Chu Zhengyang's heart froze, and he sat down slowly, a thin layer of cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his forehead.Muttering to himself: "This strange treasure really has magic power, which can make people lose their minds and become crazy about it."

These words drifted into Chu Qing's ears, only for her to smile faintly.After preventing Chu Zhengyang from indulging in unknown things like everyone else, Chu Qing's eyes seemed to look at the seat of the Hu family inadvertently.Sure enough, even the richest man in An Ning, a member of the Hu family who was used to seeing all kinds of rare treasures, could not resist the temptation of rare treasures.

Especially Hu Furong, at this moment her eyes were staring at the dazzling brilliance, her possessiveness was exposed without any concealment, the slight swelling of her cheeks had not dissipated, and she flushed again because of excitement and excitement.

Chu Qing sneered in her heart, it seems that this thing is a fatal temptation for women no matter in ancient or modern times.It's just... where did this thing come from?overseas?Could it be that there are also overseas trade routes in Southern Chu?So on the other side of the sea, is there a country like the one she is familiar with, with people of different skin colors and hair colors?
An imported item aroused Chu Qing's thoughts.It even reminded her of the vow that she had been close to her, symbolizing happiness.In a trance, she didn't notice that there were two pairs of inexplicable eyes staring at her.

One pair is Hu Furong who has withdrawn a sense of reason from the strange treasure. When she saw Chu Qing's calm and breezy appearance, a vicious thought rose in her heart.

For the crime of deceiving the emperor, it is minor to ransack the family and exterminate the family, but it is the major crime to exterminate the nine clans.Hu Furong raised her hand, and the handkerchief in her hand blocked the cold smile on her mouth.

The other gaze, which was rather abrupt, came from Zhao Shenggao, who was in the first place.He was originally admiring the obsession of all living beings indifferently, but he found an indifferent figure in it, sitting there from beginning to end, as if that crazy treasure was not as good as the delicious food in front of her eyes, causing her interest of.
