Chapter 52 Gift
Chapter 52 Gift
After Xuanyuan Xingyao finished training him, Bing Linxuan dragged his tired feet back to his bedroom. However, after returning to the bedroom, he did not take a shower and rest immediately. Instead, he went to his warehouse first to see if there was any magic weapon suitable for Nangong Jing.
However, Xuanyuan Xingyao was a warrior, so the gifts given to him by the emperor, empress, ministers, and royal relatives were mostly training resources for warriors. Or perhaps magic stones that didn't discriminate about talent, or exclusive summoners, which really weren't available.
It’s not that Xuanyuan Xingyao can’t give Nangong Jing a magic stone, but Nangong Jing doesn’t have any specific attributes. Unless Xuanyuan Xingyao gives Nangong Jing a spiritual magic stone, it won’t have much effect on Nangong Jing.
Xuanyuan Xingyao used to not care about the number of gifts he received. But now he feels a little annoyed. In the past, when people gave him gifts, he would just give most of them away, only keeping a few that he liked.
Xuanyuan Xingyao had been struggling with what gift to give to Nangong Jing until the day before his birthday, but still couldn't figure out what to give him. Thinking that the emperor had not given him a birthday present this year, Xuanyuan Xingyao made a decision in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is requesting an audience outside the palace." The eunuch walked into the imperial study and reported to the emperor who was reviewing memorials.
When the emperor heard Xuanyuan Xingyao wanted to see him, he immediately put down the imperial brush in his hand and said in surprise, "Xingyao is here? Why don't you announce him quickly?"
If Xuanyuan Xingyao was the emperor's most beloved son in the past, then now that he has become Binglinxuan's apprentice, he is the apple of the emperor's eye. If anyone dares to attack Xuanyuan Xingyao, he will never let that person go.
Xuanyuan Xingyao walked into the imperial study and was about to salute the emperor when he was stopped by the emperor. "Yao'er, there's no need to be polite. You usually take a lunch break at this time. Why did you come to see your father today? What's the matter?"
It has to be said that the emperor really cares about Xuanyuan Xingyao, and he knows all about Xuanyuan Xingyao's habits and hobbies.
"I have come to disturb you today to ask for your grace." Xuanyuan Xingyao said respectfully.
Xuanyuan Xingyao is usually not without desires, but he is also very indifferent to external things.
Therefore, when Xuanyuan Xingyao suddenly asked for his mercy, the emperor immediately became interested. He asked in surprise and curiosity, "Oh? What kind of mercy does Yaoer want?"
"Nangong's birthday is in a few days, and I want to prepare a birthday present for him. But the treasures in my storehouse are all suitable for warriors, and there are no treasures suitable for summoners, so I want to ask my father for help to prepare a gift suitable for a summoner." Xuanyuan Xingyao said this with a slightly ashamed expression, as if he was ashamed of not being able to prepare a gift for his friend and had to ask his elders for help.
The emperor originally thought that Xuanyuan Xingyao was going to ask him for some favor, but he didn't expect that he was just preparing a gift for Nangong Jing.
However, from this, the emperor also discovered that Xuanyuan Xingyao really valued Nangong Jing. If he didn't value him, given Xuanyuan Xingyao's personality, even if he really prepared a gift, he would just casually prepare a treasure to give to Nangong Jing without specifically considering whether it was suitable for him.
But let's not talk about it. Nangong Jing is Han Yan's disciple. Considering his talent in cultivation and the fact that he is Nangong Tao's son, it is impossible for the emperor to not express anything when he knows his birthday.
"Nangong Xiaoqi, when is your birthday?" The emperor did not answer Xuanyuan Xingyao immediately, but asked when was Nangong Jing's birthday.
"Just two days after my son's birthday." Xuanyuan Xingyao replied.
A hint of surprise flashed across the emperor's eyes, and he said, "Only two days apart. You two are truly destined to be together."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that our birthdays are only two days apart." Xuanyuan Xingyao said lightly.
The emperor pondered for a moment after hearing this and then said, "I remember that in my storeroom, I have a fine amethyst staff, which is most suitable for use by summoners. I will have someone bring it to your Zhaochun Palace later."
When Xuanyuan Xingyao heard that the staff was made of amethyst, his eyes lit up instantly. Then, with a rare excitement, he thanked the emperor, "Thank you, father."
The summoner uses mental power to carve out a summoning circle and summon monsters to fight.
But that doesn't mean that summoners don't have weapons. In fact, summoners, like magicians, use staffs, but they are different from magicians' staffs. Summoners' staffs are usually carved from crystal, and they are all a piece of crystal, carved into a staff, and are shorter than magicians' staffs.
Furthermore, a magician's staff would have a magic core with the same properties embedded in the top to enhance the staff's power, but a summoner's staff did not need a magic core embedded in it.
As for the crystal used to carve the staff, transparent crystal is generally the best, pure white crystal is the worst, and green, red and purple are in between. Therefore, this purple crystal staff is very precious to the summoner.
The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's excited little face, and his mood couldn't help but improve a lot. He smiled and promised, "If you need anything in the future, just come to me and ask for it. There's no need to ask for mercy. You are my son, and it is only natural for you to ask me for good things."
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't expect that the emperor would make such a generous promise directly. He didn't think that the emperor would make such a promise to every prince who came.
If that were the case, no matter how many treasures the emperor had, they would not be enough to share. Who knows, if someone else comes, they might even be scolded by the emperor. She couldn't help but be moved, her cheeks flushed, and she was obviously excited looking at the emperor.
The emperor was thrilled and moved when he saw Xuanyuan Xingyao, and his mood brightened even more. After Xuanyuan Xingyao left, he not only ordered his personal eunuch to go to his private storehouse and take the amethyst staff to Zhaochun Palace for Xuanyuan Xingyao, but also asked him to bring back several magic stones suitable for Xuanyuan Xingyao's cultivation.
The day before Xuanyuan Xingyao's birthday, Nangong Jing came to Zhaochun Palace with the gifts he prepared for Xuanyuan Xingyao.
"Nangong!!! Is there something wrong?" Nangong Jing almost always came with Feng Xuanzhou, and rarely came to see him alone, so Xuanyuan Xingyao was a little surprised by Nangong Jing's sudden appearance.
Nangong Jing looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's surprised expression and felt a little embarrassed. He wondered if his arrival was a little too sudden.
"There will definitely be a lot of people giving you gifts tomorrow, so I thought of giving it to you a day in advance." Nangong Jing said as he handed the Hanxing Stone to Xuanyuan Xingyao.
In fact, after Xuanyuan Xingyao broke through, Nangong Jing thought about whether to change the gift to Xuanyuan Xingyao, because the Hanxing Stone was no longer urgent for Xuanyuan Xingyao, but there was nothing good to give him at the moment, so in the end he could only give him the Hanxing Stone first.
"Cold Star Stone!!! I remember that the price of Cold Star Stone is quite expensive..." Xuanyuan Xingyao was worried about Nangong Jing. In order to buy this Cold Star Stone, he had emptied out all his property, but he was worried that asking would hurt Nangong Jing's self-esteem, so he could only look at him hesitantly.
I have to say that Xuanyuan Xingyao still overestimated Nangong Jing's wealth.
Nangong Jing understood Xuanyuan Xingyao's look and said calmly, "I don't have that many gold coins. This money was paid by my father. Don't be disgusted. I will try to buy it with my own money next year."
"No, the gift I prepared for you was also taken from my father's warehouse." Xuanyuan Xingyao said with a faint smile.
Nangong Jing didn't expect that Xuanyuan Xingyao would prepare a gift for him. He was shocked and flattered.
Those eyes that were wide open due to shock opened even wider after seeing the gift that Xuanyuan Xingyao prepared for him. Xuanyuan Xingyao was a little worried that Nangong Jing's eyes would fall out because they were opened too wide.
"Close your eyes, they're about to pop out. Are you satisfied with this gift?" In fact, Xuanyuan Xingyao's question was completely unnecessary, because from Nangong Jing's expression, it can be seen how much he likes this magic wand.
"I'm very satisfied. What's the name of this staff?" Nangong Jing took the staff and touched it lovingly. Even when Yan wanted to come over to touch it, he was pushed away by Nangong Jing. You know, he loves Yan very much on weekdays. He didn't say anything even when Yan messed up his clothes and jumped onto the bed to sleep with him.
"This staff is called Lingluo." Xuanyuan Xingyao replied.
Nangong Jing murmured Ling Luo, thinking what a nice name.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was very happy to see that Nangong Jing liked the gift so much. Of course, he was also very satisfied with the Hanxing Stone that Nangong Jing gave him. It’s not that the Hanxing Stone is precious, it’s not rarer than the precious Xuanyuan Xingyao.
He was simply satisfied with the Cold Star Stone, which was very useful for his cultivation. Especially before he became Xuanyuan Xingyao's disciple, he had reached a bottleneck. If he had the Cold Star Stone, he would definitely be able to use it to break through.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao does not have a bottleneck now, with this piece of cold star stone, Xuanyuan Xingyao can also make a small breakthrough to a small realm. For Xuanyuan Xingyao who is determined to improve his cultivation, this is naturally a gift that touches his heart very much.
Originally he just came to give a gift, but Nangong Jing didn't expect that he would take a gift with him when he left. Because he liked the staff so much, Nangong Jing fell asleep with it in his arms at night, which made Yan beside him a little jealous.
The next day, because it was Xuanyuan Xingyao's birthday party, the emperor specially gave the princes a day off. Since the princes were on vacation, Nangong Jing and others who served as study companions naturally did not have to go to class anymore.
Although Nangong Jing brought a lot of formal wear when entering the palace, Xuanyuan Xingyao's birthday party today was very grand, so after thinking about Nangong Jing, he decided to go back to the Duke's Mansion.
Since his awakening, Nangong Tao had had many formal dresses made for him, many of which were very luxurious. Nangong Jing thought that he should dress nicely today so that he could enter the palace with Nangong Tao and the others in the evening.
When Nangong Jing left the palace, he did not forget to say hello to Han Yan, so that Han Yan would not be unable to find him if he wanted to.
Han Yan also knew that today was Xuanyuan Xingyao's birthday party, so when he learned that Nangong Jing had returned to the Duke's Mansion and would not come today, he was not surprised at all.
Bing Linxuan was Xuanyuan Xingyao's master, so Xuanyuan Xingyao naturally invited him. As for Han Yan, he was not only Bing Linxuan's good friend, but also Nangong Jing's master, so Xuanyuan Xingyao also invited him. As for whether Han Yan went or not, that was his business.
When Nangong Jing returned to the Duke's Mansion, Nangong Tao was still in court and had not returned. Although the princes had a holiday today, the court was still held as usual. Even on the emperor's birthday, they still attended court. Naturally, it was impossible to stop the court for a day just for a prince.
"Brother, are you going to see mother?" As soon as Nangong Jing entered the door, he saw Nangong Mu and several guards walking towards the Duchess's courtyard.
When Nangong Mu saw Nangong Jing, he was stunned for a moment, then said with some surprise, "Jing'er, why are you back? Isn't there any class in the palace today?"
"Isn't today the Seventh Prince's birthday party? The Emperor gave the princes a day off. I thought the dress I brought into the palace was not suitable for the evening party, so I came back." Nangong Jing explained.
Nangong Mu suddenly realized what was going on and said, "So that's how it is. It's time to come back and change clothes. Do you have any formal wear? If not, I have quite a few that were made in the past but never worn."
"Yes, after I awakened, my father had someone make several suitable dresses for me, but I never wore them. After I entered the palace and became a companion, he made a few more for me." Nangong Jing rejected Nangong Mu's kindness.
Nangong Mu said nothing more after hearing this. After all, it was the Duchess, and the mistress of the house had failed in her duties. Before Nangong Jing awakened, she had never made a dress for him, but after all, she was his mother, and Nangong Mu also understood why the Duchess was like this, so he just nodded at Nangong Jing, indicating that he understood and did not say much.
