Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police
Chapter 414 Queen Phoenix Conch
"Mr. Yingzaki, this is my gift for Miss Huizi. I hope it can make up for the shock I gave her before." Prince Boyi said as he took a small box from the man and handed it to Zhou Zhengqing with both hands.
Before Zhou Zhengqing could say anything or make any move, Jingren stepped forward and took the gift box, saying with a smile, "You also prepared a gift? Let me see what it is, cousin, you don't mind, do you? Haha."
He asked, but he had already opened the gift box. Then, Jingren was dumbfounded. "Don't tell me you gave this to a little girl! Did you take the wrong one?"
"Is there any problem? Is this not good?" Prince Boyi asked in confusion.
Jingren didn't answer, but smiled and shook his head, then handed the gift box to Zhou Zhengqing.
Zhou Zhengqing was also curious, so he reached out and took the gift box. Inside was a conch slightly smaller than his palm. The shell of the conch was delicate and beautiful. The entire shell was milky white with a few places covered in light brown, while the shell opening was a charming pink, like a blooming flower.
At the bottom of the conch, there is a pink bead slightly smaller than a quail egg hanging on a red string. The surface of the oval bead has regular flame-like patterns. No one knows what kind of gem it is, but it looks very unique.
While Zhou Zhengqing was still looking at the conch, Huizi in his arms had already stretched out her little hand, grabbed the red rope at the bottom of the conch, and lifted the conch out of the gift box. Then she brought the conch closer, staring at the conch spinning in the air with her big eyes without blinking.
"Haha, it seems that Huizi likes this gift very much! Thank you, Your Highness Prince Boyi." Zhou Zhengqing said with a smile. After handing the empty gift box to Lingzi on the side, he reached out to help Huizi hold the conch.
Even though Huizi was holding the conch very tightly, Zhou Zhengqing was still worried that Huizi would drop the conch. This was a gift from someone else, and although he didn't know its value, it would not be good to damage it in front of someone else.
"Cousin, you are really something. Giving a girl a conch shell is really something you can think of. If you really can't find a suitable gift, you can just buy a doll for Huizi!" Jingren joked.
"What do you know? This is not an ordinary conch. It is extremely rare and precious." Prince Boyi explained quickly.
"Oh? What's so precious about a conch? There are many of them on the beach." Jingren curled his lips.
When Zhou Zhengqing heard Prince Boyi say this, he also looked over curiously.
Prince Boyi originally wanted to explain, but when he saw Jingren and Zhou Zhengqing looking at him curiously, he said to Jingren, “What do you know!
This conch is called the Queen Conch. It is a magical creature that grows hidden in the deep sea and is very difficult to obtain!
And they can produce a unique and priceless type of pearl, the conch pearl.
According to statistics, only one queen conch can be found in every shellfish, and only one conch pearl can be found in every 1000-2000 queen conches. And a top-quality pearl like the one in Huizi's hand is one in a million."
Prince Boyi said this, pointing to the oval pink bead that Huizi was holding in her hand.
“The uniqueness of these conch pearls lies in their natural shape and color. They are also called “flame pearls” because of their unique flame patterns.
They are not round like traditional clam pearls, but instead present an irregular beauty that makes each conch pearl unique and impossible to replicate.
In other words, there is no other gem exactly like the one in Miss Huizi's hand in this world."
"Is this a pearl? Was it bred by this conch?" After listening to Prince Boyi's introduction, Jingren curiously moved closer to Huizi, wanting to take the pearl out of Huizi's hand to have a look. This time, Huizi was unhappy and cried out to Jingren.
She picked up the conch and stuffed it into Zhou Zhengqing's arms, as if she wanted Zhou Zhengqing to help her hide the conch.
"Haha, Huizi, just show it to him. Anyway, this conch will belong to Huizi from now on, so we shouldn't be so stingy," Zhou Zhengqing smiled and reached out to take out the conch that Huizi had stuffed into his collar. He held the conch and showed the pearls hanging underneath to Jingren.
Huizi was still very close to Zhou Zhengqing. Seeing that it was Zhou Zhengqing holding the conch, she did not fight for it. Instead, she opened her eyes to look at the conch, and then glanced cautiously at Prince Boyi.
It seemed as if she knew that the beautiful conch was a gift from him, and she was struggling over whether to smile at the other party.
When Prince Boyi saw Huizi looking at him, he gave what he thought was a gentle smile. However, this smile made Huizi shiver, and she quickly turned her head away and never looked at him again.
That little look seemed to be saying, "Oh! It's too ugly, I can't bear to look at it!"
Prince Boyi smiled bitterly, and seeing Jingren still staring at the pearl, he explained, "This conch pearl was not bred by this conch. This queen conch is a juvenile. An adult queen conch weighs two or three pounds, and is too big to be given to Huizi."
Then, Prince Boyi looked at Zhou Zhengqing and said, "Master Yingqi, I heard about Miss Huizi's broken hand. I feel very sorry and sad about it. Such a lovely little girl should not suffer such pain.
So I specially chose this Queen Phoenix Road to give to her.
You also know that in our royal family, the queen is only one level lower than the princess. I hope Huizi can be like the queen and receive everyone's respect and love, so that she can grow up healthy."
When Zhou Zhengqing heard this, he immediately looked at Prince Boyi. He felt that Prince Boyi's gift of the Phoenix Conch to the Queen and his current words contained a different meaning. However, he did not know what it was.
"Thank you, Your Highness. It is an honor for my sister Huizi to have the attention of a royal prince and to have him propose to choose such a precious gift." As he spoke, Zhou Zhengqing bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. It's never too much for me to pay attention to a sister you personally adopted." Prince Boyi said with a smile.
Next, Zhou Zhengqing continued to chat with Prince Boyi for a few words until Jingren pulled Prince Boyi to find a female partner to dance, and Zhou Zhengqing got rid of the two royal princes.
Looking at the conch in Huizi's hand again, Zhou Zhengqing's heart moved, and two words suddenly popped up in his mind: Queen... Queen... Empress!... His thoughts began to disperse, drifting to who knows where.
Next, waves of people came to Zhou Zhengqing, all of them took the opportunity to give Huizi a gift and have a word with Zhou Zhengqing.
Most of those introduced by Tashiro Kan'ichirō and Hasegawa Kiyoshi were military personnel, including some staff officers from the garrison headquarters, as well as several regiment commanders and squadron commanders stationed near Tianjin.
Among them was Shigekawa Hidekazu, who was following behind Ishiwara Kanji and Takeda Koichi. However, Shigekawa Hidekazu was only a major and did not even have the qualifications to say a few words to Zhou Zhengqing. He just greeted him and then consciously stepped aside.
Zhou Zhengqing took a few more glances at the head of the Maochuan Mansion, which made Maochuan Hidekazu think that there was something about him that attracted this big shot, Zhou Zhengqing, and he stood there excitedly.
