Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 173 Birthday Gift (1)

When Lu Yuan returned to the capital, it was already half a month later, and in a few days it would be the emperor's birthday.

All the ministers and officials are racking their brains to prepare special gifts for the Holy One, and the mighty general's palace is naturally the same.

 “Young Master, what do we want to send?”

Zhao Bin looked at the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse and rubbed his temples with a headache.

Lu Yuan glanced at the treasures indifferently and said calmly: "These are just common things in His Majesty's eyes. He will not look at them twice."

These were originally gifts from the emperor, so how could there be any reason to send them back?

Zhao Bin frowned and said in confusion: "What should I do? There are only a few days left before His Majesty's birthday. It would be a shame if I didn't pick something special."

"Have you ever seen me lacking a special gift?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhao Bin's eyes widened and he opened his mouth and said, "Young master, you mean that you have prepared gifts?"

 Lu Yuan nodded, "That's natural."

  “What is it?”

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes."

 After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

The things in this warehouse belong to him alone. In addition to the items given by the emperor, there are also many valuable things.

“Young Master, what exactly have you prepared for His Majesty?” Zhao Bin locked the warehouse and followed curiously.

“Tell me, what is your Majesty’s favorite thing?”

Zhao Bin tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then said in deep thought: "I remember His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that His Majesty loved collecting various notes and drawings by famous people throughout his life."

Lu Yuan nodded, "Yes, I'll give him what he likes. Instead of giving those vulgar things, it's better to give something that His Majesty likes."

 “Then what has the young master prepared this time?”

Lu Yuan raised his thin lips slightly, "If I remember correctly, my grandmother should give the priceless jade Ruyi to Lu Li. In order to impress His Majesty, Lu Li will definitely give this to His Majesty as a gift. When the time comes, the rest of the items will be pushed down."

Jade Ruyi is an heirloom of the Lu family. It is said that it has been around for hundreds of years. It has psychic powers and is very nourishing. There is only one in the entire Zhou Dynasty and even in the entire world.

If Lu Li presented the necessities to the emperor, he would definitely be praised by the emperor. If he gave these mundane things again, he would undoubtedly be asking for trouble and let Lu Li take all the limelight in vain.

Zhao Bin scratched his head, as if he didn't understand. He clearly asked the young master what he wanted to give, so why did he involve Lu Li.

Lu Yuan glanced at him indifferently and whispered: "In this world, Yu Ruyi is not only a priceless and sought-after treasure, but there are also some things. That thing is not only a treasure, but also something that His Majesty has coveted for a long time. You He said that if I gave that thing to him, wouldn’t Lu Li’s jade Ruyi be given away in vain?”

Lu Yuan's thin lips curled up slightly. Lu Li wanted to steal the spotlight at the banquet, but he refused to let him do so.

"The only thing in the world that can be compared with Yu Ruyi is Zhou Zihan's own swordsmanship, right?"

Zhou Zihan was the prime minister of the previous dynasty. It is said that he was not only rich in economics but also talented. He was not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also proficient in medicine.

Some people have said that although he is a civil servant, his swordsmanship is excellent, almost better than the current national master Aofeng and the general Gui Jian.

It is rumored that he specially recorded various secrets in swordsmanship back then. However, due to the passage of time, no one knows whether that book of swordsmanship really exists.
