Xuan Tiange really had something to do at first, but now that that person had left, she was fine again. So she only replied: "It's fine, it's just that the earth heater might have turned cold, get someone to heat it up again."
Ever since that person left, she did not sleep much for the entire night, her mind was filled with questions, and at the same time, she was a little worried. What was that person's identity? He said that Gu Shu's new ruler had a grudge with the Eighth Prince, could these words be taken seriously? Also, most importantly, what was going on with barging into her room in the middle of the night? Coming to see their saviour? She did not believe that the people of Gu Shu would really remember kindness to this extent.
Finally, she managed to endure until daybreak, Xuan Tiange woke up early, after washing up and eating breakfast, she wanted to make a trip to the Imperial Palace Yu, telling Feng Yu Heng about what happened last night, the two of them discussing it.
But before she could leave the palace, Wenxuan Palace welcomed a group of strange guests. According to the housekeeper of the palace, those people came to send gifts, and they clearly stated that the gifts were for Princess Wuyang. Therefore, Xuan Tiange, King Wenxuan and Princess Wenxuan watched as large chests were carried into the manor one after another, and the people who came to deliver the gifts only said that they were entrusted by someone. As for who it was that entrusted them, they shook their heads and said that they did not know.
Princess Wenxuan was surprised, asking Xuan Tiange: "Do you know who the person who sent the gifts is? Is it your friend? Or does he have a request for you? I counted a total of 12 of these chests, if they all contain valuable items, then the value of these gifts is not light! "
Xuan Tiange had a puzzled expression, shaking her head and saying: "Daughter does not know who sent them, and even if they have a request, it should be Father King, why would they request it from me? The people I interact with are just some Madams and Young Misses, if they have a request, they would not be so generous, and would not use this kind of method. "
King Wenxuan listened from the side and did not want these things of unknown origins even more, but he was a little curious. He walked forward, casually opening one of the chests, but in that instant, he inhaled sharply, completely stunned on the spot, opening his mouth wide, unable to say a word.
It was not just King Wenxuan, even the servants who saw the things in the chest were shocked, and one of them could not help but exclaim: "Oh my god!"
Xuan Tiange also felt that it was strange, pulling Princess Wenxuan forward to take a look, but the chest full of jewels, pearls, jade, crystals, gold, glass … … it was just piled up messily, sparkling. These things seemed to be placed casually, but any one of them was a rare treasure that was priceless.
Xuan Tiange was the only princess of Dashun, and was Emperor Tianwu's most beloved child in the past, the good things she had seen were not for show, and Emperor Tianwu even welcomed her to pick from Dashun's national treasury. Every time she got something good, the imperial concubines in the palace would fight until their heads bled, but she did not even need to say anything and Emperor Tianwu would order people to send it to her manor. But even if it was like this, she was still shocked by these things, and it was not a light shock.
The crystal was purer than Dashun, the gold was brighter than Dashun, the jade was more transparent, the pearls were bigger, and there were even a few large night pearls thrown around randomly. Since it was daytime, there was still some light.
Prince Wenxuan looked at these things for a long time, finally saying in a deep voice: "These are things from Da Mo." He told his wife and daughter next to him: "The rare things in Da Mo are much more numerous than Dashun, and they are much better. I have seen Gu Shu's offerings many times, and it was this kind of golden crystal that left us in the dust."
"Gu Shu?" Xuan Tiange frowned, immediately remembering the person who barged into her room last night. There was no need to doubt this, it was definitely that person who sent it, because other than that person, she did not have any interactions with anyone from Gu Shu. But the strange thing was, why would that person send such a valuable thing? Was it for the 20 taels of silver back then, and the grace of finding a doctor for him to save his life? What ability did he have to be so generous?
While thinking, she personally opened the other chests, and without exception, they were all rare jewels. Before she could analyse further, she heard Prince Wenxuan suddenly say: "Gu Shu's new ruler will be arriving in the capital soon."
Princess Wenxuan was stunned, then said: "My Lord means … …"
"I feel that … … it looks like a betrothal gift?" His daughter had long passed the marriageable age, but because of her identity, she had never been betrothed, and the new ruler of Gu Shu was only in his twenties. Because he had just ascended the throne, he had not appointed an Empress. Looking at it from this point, the new ruler wanted to protect the country, so he came to ask for a marriage alliance with the country's princess, this was very logical!
"Impossible!" Xuan Tiange suddenly denied it, desperately shaking her head, "Impossible, impossible, Father King, don't think too much, this thing cannot be sent by the ruler of Gu Shu, definitely not."
"Does Tiange know who it is?" Princess Wenxuan asked her: "If you know, why don't you tell us, it will save us from guessing blindly."
But Xuan Tiange did not dare to say it, because she was only guessing, moreover, was she going to tell her father and mother about what happened last night? It was not easy to explain in the end! She shook her head, telling a lie: "Daughter does not know. But since the thing has been sent, other than keeping it for now, we do not know where to return it, so let's wait and see. To be able to send something to our doorstep, it is impossible for the person to not show themselves. Father King, Concubine Mother, don't think too much, Daughter wants to go out and see Heng Heng in Imperial Palace Yu. Let's talk about this later, alright? "
Princess Wenxuan and Princess Wenxuan heard that she wanted to see Feng Yu Heng, so they did not stop her, nodding and letting her go out first. As for those chests, other than keeping them for now, there was nothing else they could do.
Xuan Tiange sat in the imperial carriage and headed towards Imperial Palace Yu. Because they could afford to wake up, many of the breakfast stalls on the streets had not been opened yet. Many people were eating breakfast and chatting with each other, it was very lively. When the imperial carriage reached this kind of street, its speed had to slow down, the horses were practically pacing, but even so, there were still some unexpected sounds. The driver let out an "aiyo" sound and subconsciously tightened his grip on the reins, reining in the horse, the carriage suddenly stopped. Following the horse's neigh, Xuan Tiange and her servant Han-er swayed a few times inside, when the carriage finally stopped steadily, the driver cursed: "Who hit me?"
Xuan Tiange did not understand and gestured for Han-er to go out and ask. Very quickly, she heard the driver reply: "Princess, I do not know who hit This Servant with a date stone, there were a few hits that were very painful, so This Servant reined in the reins. This Servant has disturbed Princess, Princess, please forgive me. "
Someone hit her driver? Xuan Tiange walked out of the imperial carriage, standing outside the carriage and looking around, but she did not find anyone suspicious. At this moment, a date stone suddenly flew over and hit the back of her hand. It was so painful that she retracted her hand. However, at that moment, she realized that the person who threw the date stone was not below her, but above her.
She looked up and saw a person standing by the window of the second floor of a teahouse that had opened early. His arms were crossed over his chest, and there was a devilish smile on his face. It was the person who had suddenly appeared last night.
Xuan Tiange stomped her foot, thinking that it was perfect, she wanted to find this person to ask about those chests of jewels, now that he had delivered himself to her, it saved her the effort of searching. She immediately ordered the servants: "Stop the imperial carriage at the side, there is no need to follow, This Princess will be back soon."
Huan 'er was worried and asked, "Let this servant accompany the princess!"
Xuan Tiange waved her hand: "No need, no one is allowed to follow!" After saying this, she had already jumped down from the imperial carriage, walking straight into the teahouse.
"Were these things sent by you?" Entering the private room that person was in, Xuan Tiange bombarded him with questions, "Even if I have done you a favour, if you want to repay me, just return me 20 taels of silver, there is no need to multiply it so much. Our family is a palace, we do not lack good things, are you trying to help the poor? "It was broad daylight now, Xuan Tiange was not afraid of him.
That person, however, sat back in his chair, pouring tea for himself and Xuan Tiange, taking a sip leisurely before saying: "No matter how many good things there are in Dashun, they are not as valuable as the things in Gu Shu. I can guarantee that the things I gave you, even if you searched the entire Dashun treasury, you would not be able to find anything better. "
"So what?" Xuan Tiange put her hands on her hips and argued: "Your good things are yours, what does it have to do with me? Quickly get someone to move those things away, I don't want those. Moreover, what is your status? You are so generous? Those things shouldn't have been stolen from Gu Shu's imperial palace, right? "
That person smiled helplessly and shook his head, "They were not stolen, they are all mine, I can give them to whoever I want. Since they have already been brought into Wen Xuan Palace, there is no reason to take them back, just keep them, there is no need to feel burdened. Although you Dashun people say that gifts blind the eyes, but I am a person from Gu Shu, this is not suitable, just treat it as my repayment for saving your life. " After saying this, he paused, then continued: "If I really had ulterior motives, and really had other intentions, then I would naturally give an even more generous gift, those ten chests of jewels are really nothing."
Xuan Tiange took a deep breath, a nouveau riche! This was a nouveau riche! Those were still called mere? They were still said to be nothing? She, the princess of a large country, was dumbfounded, alright? Dashun's treasury really did not have such good things!
She sat down and stared at that cup of tea, feeling that she really needed to drink a mouthful to calm down. Therefore, she tilted her head back and downed the entire cup of tea like wine.
That person smiled and poured another cup for her, then said: "A fair and virtuous girl is a good match for a gentleman. This is what you Han people say, I also learned a bit, but I don't know if it is appropriate to use it now? "
Xuan Tiange shook her head: "It is too inappropriate. But This Princess does not want to discuss this with you, I just want to ask you, do you have nothing better to do? You want to use a date stone to hit my driver? " After saying this, she even extended the back of her hand to show the other party, "My hand is already red from being hit, it is most likely going to swell, are you trying to murder me or something?"
That person did not say anything else, directly grabbing Xuan Tiange's hand, with one hand on top and one hand on bottom, the hand on top pressed on the red and swollen area, rubbing it gently.
Xuan Tiange's face immediately turned red … …
