Chapter 96 Asking for the Phoenix Hairpin
Following Rong Ruo and Rong Zhanglu were other envoys from the Northern Rong. They thought that Rong Ruo would definitely be the first, but they didn't expect Su Chenyu to show up halfway. They were originally wondering, but after hearing what Rong Ruo said, they immediately lost their composure.
"Our Princess Rong Ruo has so many prey, she must be number one, how come she became Princess Feng Yi?"
"Dayu is cheating, right? He definitely doesn't want us Beirong people to be first, for fear of losing face."
"You have no generosity at all. How can we let Princess Rongruo marry into Dayu?"
…
The Northern Rong envoys discussed in low voices, but also caused quite a bit of chaos on the grounds.
Emperor Jing of Wei did not expect that there would be problems in the liquidation of prey: "Cai Quan, this matter is for you, what is going on? Give Princess Rong Ruo an explanation."
Cai Quan directly asked Su Chenyu and Rong Ruo to display their prey. He even considerately took away the part of the prey that Rong Zhang gave to Rong Ruo.
Now, the contrast is even more obvious.
"This princess has more prey than what's here." Rong Ruo's face turned red with anger.
Cai Quan smiled and said, "Princess Rongruo, you may not understand the rules of hunting in Dayu. You have to hunt the prey yourself, and you can't take the prey given by others as your own. I think Princess Rongruo got used to it when she was in Beirong, but it's not allowed in Dayu."
This was not only a covert attack, but a blatant satire on Rong Ruo's fraud.
But the smile on Cai Quan's face was very sincere, as if he was really just telling Rong Ruo the hunting rules of Dayu. This made Rong Ruo even more embarrassed, and he couldn't get angry even if he wanted to.
Rong Zhang had always despised Rong Ru's opportunistic and deceitful behavior. If these envoys had not advised him to put the overall situation first, he would not have cared.
Now that he was exposed by Cai Quan in public, Rong Zhang was the first to lose face. He shouted: "Haven't you lost enough face yet? Why don't you sit down quickly?"
Upon seeing this, the other Northern Rong envoys all lowered their heads and dared not say another word. Rong Ruo had no choice but to sit down.
Su Chenyu was announced as the first place, and the next step was to award the prize.
Emperor Jing of Wei couldn't think of anything to reward Su Chenyu for a moment, so he asked, "Is there anything you want?"
Su Chenyu bowed to Emperor Jing of Wei, and then said, "Your Majesty, when Grandfather was alive, he personally designed a phoenix hairpin for the late Queen and had it made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Later, this phoenix hairpin was put into the storehouse. I want this hairpin."
Upon hearing that Su Chenyu just wanted a phoenix hairpin, Emperor Jing of Wei agreed without even thinking.
"Then I would like to thank the Emperor." With so many people present, Su Chenyu was not afraid that Emperor Jing of Wei would go back on his word in the future.
Having arrived here, the hunting trip was almost over. Emperor Jing of Wei ordered to rest for one more day tomorrow and set off for Jing the day after tomorrow.
Li Mingqian was going to report to Emperor Jing of Wei, so Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing went to the camp first. Halfway through, they were pulled away by Nanny Xu, who said that Ginkgo had brought someone with her.
The three of them walked into Ginkgo's tent and saw a woman lying on the bed with blood all over her face. Ginkgo was washing a towel in a basin and was about to wipe the woman's face.
Seeing Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing coming in, he wanted to greet her, but was stopped by Su Chenyu: "Take care of her first."
After Ginkgo wiped the blood off the woman's face, the bumpy face appeared in front of the few people. It was almost impossible to see clearly, but Su Chenyu still managed to recognize her identity: "This is Lingzhi, the maidservant beside Baili Qi."
Ginkgo nodded: "That's right."
