My nemesis is pregnant, the baby is mine

Shen Mo's eyes blinked, his eyes flickered.

Qi Yunshu looked at the lantern beside him, changed the subject stiffly, and said, "Don't do this in the future, it's too dangerous."

"If something really happened, Xiong Lei knew I was out, and he would definitely find out if I didn't go back." Shen Mo was very confident about this, "Xiong Lei found out that I didn't go back, and he would definitely look for you."

"What if I don't find you?" Qi Yunshu disagreed.

"You will definitely find me, won't you?" Shen Mo spread his hands.

Facts proved that Qi Yunshu had indeed found him.

Qi Yunshu was dumbfounded, he didn't know where Shen Mo's confidence came from.

At that time, he was almost scared to death, and now thinking of that feeling of fear, he still feels palpitations.

What if he failed to find Shen Mo?

Shen Mo was about to say something more, when a group of people came hurriedly in the distance, the leader was Xiong Lei, followed by Gu Ming'an and Jia Lao.

When they came to the front and saw Shen Mo, the three of them looked him up and down, and after making sure that Shen Mo was not injured, they immediately asked what was going on.

Knowing that it was indeed Feng Yanping who took Shen Mo away, the three of them wrinkled their heads deeply. Feng Yanping is really bold.

"It's good that you're fine." Xiong Lei paused, then said with a cold face: "This matter won't just be left alone."

Qi Yunshu glanced at him, he was obviously not prepared, so let it be.

"Master." The housekeeper who had been standing aside reminded her that Qi Yunshu's clothes had already been drenched by the rain.

Qi Yunshu turned around and entered the door. The butler walked in front. He had already had hot water and clean clothes prepared in advance.

Shen Mo leisurely followed behind him, and the three of Xiong Lei also followed into the yard.

It was already late at night, and there were no pedestrians on the road, so the butler asked someone to arrange a room for several people to stay.

The next day, Shen Mo, Xiong Lei and others returned to Xiong's house.

There was not much time left until the congratulatory gift was presented, and Shen Mo started work the next day after he came back.

In the small courtyard of Xiong's house, everyone put on work clothes.

The same is true for Shen Mo. He is wearing a dark clean suit, and the cuffs are all fastened with cloth ropes. He looks energetic.

When the other three were ready, Shen Mo carried the golden nanmu he had obtained from the Zhou family to the table.

Recently, it has been rainy and rainy. After getting the material from the Zhou family, Shen Mo had to wrap the material with several layers of cloth, fearing that it would get wet from the rain.

The golden nanmu is not big in size, long and square, the size that an ordinary person can lift with one hand.

Seeing the golden nanmu material, Xiong Lei and Gu Ming'an looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Judging by its size, at most it can only be a small jewelry box, but it is obviously impossible for Shen Mo to make such a thing.

But if not, with such a small material, what exactly is Shen Mo going to do?

"You all know how to carve, right?" Shen Mo asked after putting away the materials.

"Carving?" The three of them became more and more surprised. Could it be that Shen Mo was planning to do carving?

Everyone knows that Shen Mo can carve. Although he hasn't made a few sculptures so far, there is nothing wrong with him being able to do so.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help becoming a little excited, they had never seen Shen Mo doing sculpture seriously.

"Are you going to make carved ornaments?" Xiong Lei couldn't help asking.

"No." Shen Mo denied, but after thinking for a while he said: "But there are some similarities."

Everyone couldn't figure it out for a while, it wasn't a sculpture but it was similar, so what could it be?

While the three of them were wondering, Shen Mo had already walked to the golden silk nanmu material, and he looked at the material over and over for a long time.

Finally he found a direction and stood it up.

In the end, Shen Mo tapped, as if to judge the quality of the material.

After finishing this, Shen Mo carefully looked at the growth ring texture on the material, as if he was calculating.

Small things are different from big ones, especially sculptures. Large things basically don’t look at the texture, but the direction of textures such as carvings is particularly important.

Shen Mo's method is clearly the technique of carving.

The three were puzzled, but they didn't dare to disturb, they just stood quietly and watched.

After about half a stick of incense time passed, Shen Mo stopped looking at the material, and turned around to ask the three of them to prepare some charcoal pens.

With the charcoal pen in hand, Shen Mo began to draw a sketch on the material.

The sketches he drew were also rough, and the details were not detailed, but the material was divided into several large pieces with a few rough strokes.

After the material was divided, Shen Mo looked at the three people beside him. The three people who had already held the saw rushed forward impatiently. After he backed away, they quickly helped divide the material into several pieces according to the drawn lines.

Although the three of them were fast, their movements were extremely careful, almost separating the materials against the drawing drawn by Shen Mo.

Among the three of Gu Ming'an, Xiong Lei is the least famous, but even Xiong Lei is a respectable figure in Qingcheng.

Such three people are a bit inferior to fight here now, but the three of them are full of enthusiasm.

While the three of them were busy, Shen Mo had already stepped aside, and he took out the sketch he had drawn on the way back from his cuff.

The sketch is still very rough, just a rough shape, but it can already be seen what it is.

When the three of Xiong Lei finished sawing the wood and came to look at it, they didn't show any surprise when they saw the things on it.

"You want to do this?" Mr. Jia couldn't understand Shen Mo's meaning at all.

Shen Mo nodded, with a confident smile in his eyes.

He had thought about doing other things before, but in the end he chose to do what he decided to do now. He has his reasons, and naturally he has the confidence to beat the Feng family.

Shen Mo took some time to refine the sketch, down to every corner detail, and after careful revision, the work officially started.

Shen Mo was busy with congratulatory gifts, but Qi Yunshu has been missing for the past few days, busy with official uniforms and account books.

Shen Mo had already got the word out from Feng Yanping before, knowing that the shopkeeper at Shuangqing City brought the account book to report the Qi family, and Qi Yunshu went to Shuangqing City early the next morning to deal with the matter matter.

Shen Mo didn't beat him, nor did he have the intention to ask about what happened. They only knew that the Qi family's big workshop in Qingcheng was soon stripped of its seal and started to operate again.

Compared with the smooth progress of the Qi family, the Feng family is not going well.

I don't know who exposed the problem of cutting corners in the Feng family's previous workshop. The Feng family, who originally got the official plate to be responsible for the official materials for the next three years, has already taken back the official plate.

Once the incident broke out, many old customers of the Feng family came to the door, wanting to find out.

That kind of thing happened to the Feng family in previous competitions, and now it was revealed that they were cutting corners and exchanging good materials for poor ones. Even though they had a solid foundation and a wide network, it was really too much for them.

But this was just the beginning, the Feng family's cutting corners and materials were revealed, and soon the Feng family's hoarding of goods and raising prices came out.

The same material is much more expensive on Feng's side than on the other three parties.

The Feng family also runs a lumber yard, and the lumber yard of the Feng family is larger than that of the Qi family, and they sell a larger amount of materials to the outside world every year.

Originally, each of the four families occupied one side, and each took care of their own side, and everyone didn't think too much about it.

Once this incident broke out, everyone immediately exploded, especially those from the Feng family.

For the same material, the Feng family sells it more expensive than others. As a carpenter on the Feng family's side, no one would naturally do it.

Especially for some businessmen who made money by cooperating with the Feng family, many of them came to the door with the bills and demanded a refund of the difference.

All of a sudden, the big workshop of the Feng family and the Feng family's main house were like a busy market, and people went to make trouble every day.

The Feng family was entangled in trouble, and the happiest thing was the Qi family's side. Many carpenters took the opportunity to gloat.

Seeing this scene, the other two parties naturally wouldn't be stingy with their tongues, and the more rumors spread about the matter.

Qingcheng, Xiong Lei's small courtyard.

When Shen Mo was resting, when he heard this from the other three people, he quickly thought of Qi Yunshu.

Shen Mo was obviously not the only one who thought of this level, the other three had already thought of it too.

In front of the small tea table temporarily placed in the yard, Xiong Lei smiled and said, "I have heard that the master Qi's methods are very good, and now it seems true."

Gu Ming'an and Jia Lao nodded their heads in agreement.

"The Feng family will suffer now." Mr. Jia said with a smile.

"How to say?" Shen Mo guessed that this matter must be related to Qi Yunshu, but he was a little confused about what Qi Yunshu did.

Compared to him, the other three obviously understood.

"You still don't understand?" Gu Mingan smiled wryly. He put down his teacup and looked at Shen Mo.

Seeing that Shen Mo's eyes were full of genuine puzzlement, Gu Ming'an's bitter smile was even worse.

After getting along with Shen Mo for a long time, Gu Ming'an couldn't see Shen Mo clearly.

As far as Shen Mo is concerned, he is also extremely smart, at least in terms of woodworking talent and means, Gu Ming'an has not seen anyone who is better than him.

But it is such a person who is obviously very smart, sometimes it makes people feel that he seems to know nothing about this world.

"The four families have different climates, so the materials they operate are somewhat different." Gu Ming'an reminded.

When Gu Ming'an said this, Shen Mo immediately reacted.

He thought about it carefully, then shook his head with a helpless smile.

Qi Yunshu's method was really clever. He didn't directly bribe the Qi family to report to the government like the Feng family did, but picked out some undeniable facts of the Feng family to expand his influence.

Not to mention the Feng family's cutting corners, perhaps the high price of the Feng family's material may indeed be due to the climate, but after it was reported that the Feng family cut corners and then broke out, it became a bit subtle.

Moreover, this matter is a fact. As we all know, the Feng family cannot deny it at all, even if they have a mouth, they can't tell.

Compared with the Feng family, Qi Yunshu knows better what is most important to the four of them.

It is not the trust of the officials, but the support of the carpenters on their own side.

If they lose the trust of the officials, their business may indeed be difficult to do.

But if the carpenters on their side no longer supported them, then their business would be useless at all.

Things have become like this, the Feng family has gradually lost the trust of everyone on their side, and everyone gloats when something happens.

Compared with the Feng family, if something happened to the Qi family, the situation would be quite different.Instead of gloating, everyone will stand up and share the same hatred.

Qi Yunshu really understands this very well. After that, although the Feng family has been working hard to suppress these bad reviews, every time the rumors calm down, new things will be exposed.

If these things are normal, they are all insignificant things, but at this juncture, they become subtle.

A month later, when Shen Mo finished preparing the congratulatory gifts and that birthday was approaching, Qi Yunshu finally rushed back.

Seeing Qi Yunshu again, Shen Mo couldn't help looking at his stomach, because after not seeing him for a month, Qi Yunshu's stomach became obviously bigger.

Qi Yunshu has tried his best to wear loose clothes, but because his body frame is not very big, it still gives people a bloated feeling.

Fortunately, that feeling is not very strong, only those who are familiar with him will say that he seems to be fat.

In addition, Qi Yunshu's complexion became better and better because of her pregnancy.

His skin became fairer and more delicate, and his whole person gave people a feeling of radiance.

When the three of Gu Ming'an saw him, they couldn't help but wonder whether he was in a good mood recently because of the Feng family's affairs.

Xiong's house, in Xiong Lei's small courtyard, next to the small tea table that was temporarily moved, Qi Yunshu who just came back looked at Shen Mo and asked, "I heard you finished the things?"

Not seeing him for a while, Qi Yunshu missed Shen Mo very much when he saw Shen Mo again, and couldn't help but look at him twice, until Shen Mo looked at him suspiciously, and then he looked back.

Shen Mo nodded, before he could speak, Gu Ming'an and the other three on the side had already started talking with great interest.

"Don't worry, you will definitely win! I dare to take the Xiong family as a guarantee!" Xiong Lei said, his face flushed.

"Really?" Qi Yunshu took the opportunity to look at Shen Mo again, with an excuse, he looked blatantly.

I haven't seen him for a while, Shen Mo is still the same as before, not much has changed, but Qi Yunshu feels that he can't see enough.

He came suddenly, Shen Mo was still working before, and even had a small piece of sawdust on his head.

The shavings rolled into a small circle trembled and hung on his head, making Qi Yunshu's heart tremble along with it.

Qi Yunshu stretched out his hand, and under Shen Mo's suspicious gaze, gently twisted his palm.

Seeing this, Shen Mo quickly lowered his head and patted his hair. Qi Yunshu put the little shavings into his sleeves, with a smile on his face.

"Of course, don't you believe it?" Xiong Lei looked at Shen Mo anxiously while being excited. If Shen Mo hadn't said not to spread the word for now, he would have wished to take Qi Yunshu in to have a look right away.

When they first saw the sketch drawn by Shen Mo, the three of them couldn't figure out what Shen Mo wanted to do, but as time passed, the three had to marvel at Shen Mo's whimsy.

Now that everything is basically finished, the next step is the final renovation. Seeing the finished product, the three of them even felt deeply shocked.

"It's not that I don't believe it, I'm just curious." Qi Yunshu certainly wouldn't disbelieve Shen Mo, if he didn't believe Shen Mo, he wouldn't let Shen Mo take charge of this matter from the very beginning.

"You can rest assured that we will win this time." Mr. Jia looked determined, his eyes sparkling, as if he had already seen the moment of victory.

Even Jia Lao said so, Qi Yunshu became more and more curious about Shen Mo being Shen Mo.

Qi Yunshu looked at Shen Mo, and before he could speak, Shen Mo changed the subject, "Can I go together that day?"

Although Shen Mo was the one who made the congratulatory gift, in his capacity, there was obviously no way for him to enter the palace with him.

"You want to go?" Qi Yunshu was a little surprised, but immediately understood, and said: "If you want to go, I can talk to Prince Jin."

Shen Mo is the producer of the congratulatory gift, if the congratulatory gift can be appreciated, it would be better for him to be present.

"Then I will trouble you." Shen Mo thanked.

Knowing that Shen Mo wanted to go, Qi Yunshu put aside the affairs of the Qi family that afternoon and went to Prince Jin's Mansion first. When he came back later, he already had good news.

Prince Jin can bring the two of them into the palace together, but they have to wear the clothes of servants of Prince Jin's mansion.

Naturally, Shen Mo didn't mind, so he immediately reported the size of the clothes and asked Jin Wangfu to prepare them in advance.

Three days later, Shen Mo and Qi Yunshu followed Prince Jin to Beijing with a congratulatory gift.

Qingcheng is still some distance away from the capital, so we have to start early.

A few days later, when everyone arrived in the capital, the streets of the capital were already decorated with lights and festivities.

On the day they arrived in the capital, Prince Jin went into the palace, while Qi Yunshu and Shen Mo stayed in the other courtyard where Prince Jin usually lived in the middle of the capital.

It was the first time for Shen Mo to come to the capital, and it was a rare opportunity for them to meet and go shopping in the street.

The capital city is very different from Qingcheng city, and it goes without saying that this side is more prosperous and lively, and even the architectural styles are quite different.

This world is slightly different from the world Shen Mo was in before. There were already iron nails and glue here. Although the buildings are also made of wood, there are more tall buildings.

There are tall buildings decorated with lights and festoons on both sides of the street. Walking into the street, Shen Mo seems to have the illusion of walking among tall buildings.

In the shops along the street, there are also many items that are hard to find in other places.

Shen Mo also took the time to find a blacksmith who is said to be quite famous in the capital, and asked about the details and prices of the customized tools, planning to build a set of tools specially designed for carving.

His previous set of tools was lost to him by the Yellow Crane of the Qin School, and it is easy to use the tools until now, but they are all used by carpenters, and the carvings are somewhat incomplete, so he has been thinking about completing them.

Shen Mo stayed at the iron shop all the time, and Qi Yunshu followed beside him, watching Shen Mo discuss and explain with the blacksmith, life was comfortable.

In this way, after the two of them wandered around the capital for a few days, the birthday came.

At dawn, the two followed Prince Jin and walked towards the palace.

When the cock crowed, Prince Jin entered the hall to face the saint, while Shen Mo and Qi Yunshu stood aside holding congratulatory gifts and waiting.

What they were in was a side courtyard, and the courtyard was full of people, all of whom were servants brought by the officials of the court, and they all brought congratulatory gifts around them.

The congratulatory gifts are very diverse, some are as tall as a person, some are not as big as a palm, some are jeweled at first glance, and some don't know what they are.

In the crowd, the two even saw Feng Yanping.

The situation at Feng Yanping's side was very similar to theirs, and he probably came in by borrowing his identity as an official from the court.

The eyes of the three met unexpectedly, and the enemy was extremely jealous. It didn't take a moment for each of them to turn their heads, ignoring the existence of the other.

The yard was crowded with people, but it was exceptionally quiet.Everyone stood silently, no one spoke.

After about a stick of incense, there was a commotion in the distant hall, and then someone started shouting.

The first ones to enter the hall were the missions from the nearby vassal states and neighboring countries. It was not until ten minutes before noon that it was the turn of the court officials to present.

When the people in their yard were called, Shen Mo, who had been standing aside holding a congratulatory gift, felt a little sore in his legs.

They came here almost at dawn, and they had already stood there for two or three hours.

"How about I hug for a while?" Qi Yunshu stretched out his hand to snatch the congratulatory gift from Shen Mo's arms.

"No need." Shen Mo naturally wouldn't let it go.

Qi Yunshu had already stood here with him for two or three hours. If you were tired, Qi Yunshu would never be more relaxed than him.

Qi Yunshu, who had already stretched out his hand, was rejected. He lowered his eyes, and a soft light appeared in his eyes.

The courtyard was very quiet, almost no one spoke, and even if someone spoke, they tried to lower their voices as much as possible.

Shen Mo and Qi Yunshu, when they talked, they whispered in a low voice.

The two were very close, and when talking, one of them had to put his mouth close to the other's ear. The warm breath blowing against his ears made Qi Yunshu feel a little uncomfortable, and his ears turned red uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Qi Yunshu was about to say something to ask Shen Mo to let him take the congratulatory gift for a while, when Shen Mo lowered his voice and said, "After I go back, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Qi Yunshu was puzzled.

Shen Mo looked at Qi Yunshu's red ears in front of him, and said, "I'll talk about it after I go back."

Qi Yunshu's expression was normal, but his ears were flushed red, making one want to take a bite.

Noticing Shen Mo's gaze, Qi Yunshu raised his hand to touch his ear, the scalding heat from his fingertips made his breathing a little heavier.

The more Shen Mo kept silent, the more curious Qi Yunshu became.

The smile on his face also disappeared, replaced by a little uneasiness, "What is it about?"

After that night, the two of them never talked about Muchang again. There was one reason why Qi Yunshu left Qingcheng and went to Shuangqing City, and another reason was that Qi Yunshu had been avoiding talking about it.

He originally thought that if Shen Mo really had enough ability to take the Muchang back from him, then everything would be over, but after experiencing Feng Yanping's incident, he found that he was very wrong.

He didn't want Shen Mo to leave, even if it was just the current situation, as long as Shen Mo could stay where he could see it.

"It's about you and me directly." Shen Mo didn't want to say too much, this is not the place to talk.

When Qi Yunshu heard this, he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak again.

What happened between him and Shen Mo?

Apart from the matter about the Shen family, Qi Yunshu couldn't think of anything else.

Qi Yunshu took a deep breath, maintaining the indifference on his face.

Shen Mo has now gradually gained a firm foothold in this industry. Although his network is not extensive, he already knows a lot.

He already has enough ability to fly farther, if Shen Mo asks him to leave the Qi family, he will not be surprised.

Thinking of this, Qi Yunshu pursed her thin lips tightly.

At the moment when the two were whispering, there were fewer and fewer people in the yard.

Not long after, Feng Yanping also led a group of people, and moved out the cloth-wrapped thing beside him, which should be like a screen.

Not long after Feng Yanping took those people out, there was a sound from the other side of the main hall. It seemed that the Feng family brought out something quite surprising.

Such a sound had only been heard twice before, but neither was as loud as this time, which made Qi Yunshu a little nervous.

After about an incense stick of time, almost everyone left, only they and the guards guarding here were left behind, and someone in front called them over.

Shen Mo took a deep breath, and walked forward holding the small box in his arms, with Qi Yunshu closely following him.

Before entering the hall, Qi Yunshu still did not forget to comfort Shen Mo in a low voice, so that Shen Mo would not be nervous.

Shen Mo was a little nervous at first, but after entering the palace, seeing the officials standing on both sides, the tension in his heart eased accordingly.

Shen Mo was not unfamiliar with this scene. Although he had never experienced it before, he had seen it before.

All the officials waited quietly, the man in the yellow robe was sitting on the dragon chair, and no one in the hall spoke, as if in the hall, he would unconsciously become nervous, and even had the urge to kneel down.

After congratulations from missionaries and officials, the hall was already filled with rare objects, but this did not dilute the oppressive force in the hall at all.

According to the etiquette taught to him by the Jin Palace, when Shen Mo stood with his hands down in the hall, he secretly glanced at Qi Yunshu next to him, only to find that Qi Yunshu was even more nervous than him.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Qi Yunshu's nose, his lips were even a little blue, and the hands hanging aside were clenched into fists.

That look made Shen Mo want to laugh, as if if he made a sudden noise, it would scare Qi Yunshu into a frenzy and then turn around and run away.

Seeing Qi Yunshu's appearance, the only remaining nervousness in Shen Mo's heart disappeared without a trace. Not only was he no longer nervous, but he wanted to laugh a little.

Qi Yunshu was so nervous that he didn't even realize that Shen Mo was looking at him.

Prince Jin only took out his own things at the last moment after everyone had shown the congratulatory gifts. This was what they had discussed before.

Ahead, Prince Jin finished his congratulatory speech.

"This is my little brother's care, and I hope that the emperor will like it." Prince Jin said.

Hearing this, Shen Mo took two steps forward. He kept his head down, and lifted the box in his hand up, so that the people above could see it more clearly.

The box was not big, and Shen Mo could hold it with two hands.

The box is brown in color, with a layer of relief attached to the surface, and the flower shape is a flower plant that symbolizes longevity and auspiciousness.

After Shen Mo lifted the box slightly, everyone looked at the box in his hand.

Prince Jin is the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty, and the two have always had a good relationship. At such a critical time, the things he took out would naturally not be ordinary things, which made everyone a little curious.

Of course, there are those who are curious, and there are naturally many who are waiting to see the joke.

The situation in the court has always been complicated. Although Prince Jin is generous, he is not without people who are against each other.

Especially the First Assistant Minister who cooperated with the Feng family, that person has never dealt with King Jin, this matter has long been no secret.

When the Qi family took the initiative to find Prince Jin to cooperate, they also took this into consideration.

Although Prince Jin didn't care about the grievances between the Feng family and the Qi family, it was different when it involved the Shoufu.

The Feng family obviously also had this consideration in mind, so the chief assistant minister also knew some of the grievances between the Qi family and the Feng family.

With the Feng family's constant situation recently, if it weren't for the fact that what the Feng family offered was really good and could outshine everyone, he would have already rejected the Feng family's cooperation.

When the Feng family just took out the things, everyone in the court couldn't help exclaiming, and the person on the dragon chair was also shocked by it, and praised it a lot.

This made the chief assistant minister smile on his face since he just started.

Everyone's reaction satisfied the first assistant minister. When he looked at Prince Jin and Shen Mo, although he was still somewhat on guard, he no longer thought that Prince Jin could win back.

Shen Mo stepped forward, and Qi Yunshu, who was beside him, also stepped forward.

Qi Yunshu stood beside Shen Mo, and under the gaze of everyone, he pressed a switch on the top of the box as Shen Mo had told him before.

At the same time as the movement, Qi Yunshu, who had never seen the contents of the box, couldn't help holding his breath, and his heart almost jumped out.

Following Qi Yunshu's movements, the wooden box held in Shen Mo's hand opened to the four sides after a click, revealing the contents within a short while.

What caught everyone's eyes was a long black thing. Everyone was familiar with that thing, and they could recognize it at a glance. It was a pitch-black tower.

The tower is not big, only two palms long, a fist-sized body, and a palm-sized base.

After a moment of silence, all the officials in Chaozhong looked at each other, but they all saw bewilderment and puzzlement in the eyes of the people around them.

"What's that?" After a while, someone couldn't help asking.

What Shen Mo is holding in his hand is a black tower, everyone can see this, but what else?

Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't bow their heads and whispered, but they all looked at Prince Jin suspiciously.

On one side of the hall, Feng Yanping, who had just been highly praised by the people on the dragon chair, stood beside the screen he brought.

He was also nervous before opening the box, but at this moment he couldn't help but smile, as did the chief minister beside him.

The black tower held up by Shen Mo looked very ordinary at first glance, but even more ordinary upon closer inspection.

The tower has a total of nine floors, and it is the most common shape of a tower with flying eaves. The ordinary shape and the black tower body make the whole tower look a bit depressing.

If there is any bright spot, it is probably that the tower itself is not big.

Ordinary pagodas are several feet high, and they are made so small that they look small and exquisite.

It's a pity that this place is not an ordinary place. If this thing is brought to the market, it would be eye-catching, but placed in this hall, in front of this pile of rare treasures, it seems a bit unpopular.

"Could it be that Prince Jin took the wrong thing? Why don't you go back and get it first, and we'll wait here?" In the hall, the Minister of the First Assistant came out with a smile.

He said words of concern, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

Listening to the minister's words, many people in the hall covered their mouths and laughed lightly, and the smile on Feng Yanping's face, who was waiting at the side, was even wider.

Feng Yanping was really worried at first, after all, he had seen Shen Mo's abilities before, but he didn't expect that he would come up with such a thing now.

Hearing everyone's ridicule, Prince Jin couldn't help but look at Qi Yunshu.

Prince Jin didn't see the congratulatory gift in advance, he wanted to see it, but Qi Yunshu swore to frankly assure him that what Shen Mo presented was absolutely extraordinary, and he could take the entire Qi family as a guarantee.

Qi Yunshu spoke so frankly that Prince Jin believed him, but now that he presented such a thing, Prince Jin's face turned black.

Qi Yunshu didn't care about him at all at the moment, he was looking at Shen Mo nervously.

He didn't doubt Shen Mo, but in the current situation, he really couldn't figure out what Shen Mo meant.

The top of the hall is no better than the outside, if Shen Mo can't give everyone a reasonable explanation, not to mention the people on the dragon chair, even Prince Jin will not spare them.

Shen Mo noticed Qi Yunshu's gaze, and he showed Qi Yunshu a comforting smile that calmed him down.

Qi Yunshu was stunned, speechless and trusting.

He took a deep breath, and looked back at Prince Jin who was standing aside, with firm and confident eyes.

Prince Jin frowned, he didn't understand what Shen Mo was doing, but at this moment he obviously had no way out.

Prince Jin took a step forward, facing everyone's watching and the sarcasm in the eyes of the assistant minister, he said with a stiff smile: "Brother, don't worry."

"Today is the emperor's birthday. I believe that Prince Jin will never make jokes. Please take a look at it first." The people who were with Prince Jin immediately stood up to speak for him when they found an opportunity.

"That's right, Prince Jin and the emperor have always had a close brotherhood, which cannot be destroyed by a few words from some people with ulterior motives."

"Brother Huang?" Prince Jin looked at the person above.

"Oh?" From above, a voice somewhat similar to Prince Jin's voice came.

The people in this hall are all high-ranking officials in the court, and they are also a group of people who are wise and observant.

The change in Prince Jin's expression had already caught everyone's eyes. Seeing him frowning worriedly, those who wanted to watch the excitement immediately became happy.

If it is true that Prince Jin's hands are only such low-end things, then they can't blame them for making jokes.

When Shen Mo heard the words, he gave Qi Yunshu a glance. Without words, Qi Yunshu immediately understood Shen Mo's meaning.

He took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to support the thing in Shen Mo's hand, in exchange for Shen Mo's hand being free.

"Please take a closer look, Your Majesty." Shen Mo reached out and took the base tray of the black tower in the box, and lifted the tower out by itself.

It was also at this time that everyone noticed that there were some rockery and shallow pools carefully arranged under the tower.

Looking at the rockery, everyone who was still tense burst out laughing.

The black pagoda alone is enough to make people wonder if Prince Jin took the wrong thing, and now with the rockery arrangement, the whole congratulatory gift suddenly becomes more nondescript.

"Why does the lord make people laugh at this kind of children's plaything? If the wangfu really doesn't have any congratulatory gifts, just ask, and we'll help you prepare them, right?" Someone said kindly.

Hearing this, Shen Mo looked at the man.

The man was dressed in a dark blue court dress, he was old, his temples were white, and there was a bit of calculation in his eyes.

Although Shen Mo couldn't tell what official title that man was, but to be able to stand in the palace, he must be within the third rank.

"That's right, as long as you open your mouth, how can we not help?" The Minister of the Chief Assistant laughed when he saw this.

As soon as he uttered these words, many people in the hall immediately responded with a smile, and some even smiled and asked them to go back and pick them up immediately.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, which seemed to be laughter, but actually it was sarcasm and sarcasm.

It wasn't until the person on the dragon chair spoke again that everyone immediately stopped and fell silent.

Above, the person above looked at Shen Mo, and a majestic voice sounded, "Then bring it here and let me have a look."

As his words fell, the eunuch who was waiting at the side came down, took the small tray from Shen Mo's hand, and brought the things to the emperor.

Everyone watched this scene with unconcealable smiles in their eyes.

When the things arrived in front of the emperor, they were carried by the eunuch, and he looked over.

Below, everyone was laughing, although silently, they were all happy.

Laughing and laughing, everyone gradually stopped laughing.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the emperor above was still staring at the black tower, as if he didn't seem to look away at all, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared completely.

The hall was quiet, everyone frowned slightly and looked around.

The few people in front even squinted their eyes and stared at the black tower in the eunuch's hand, but the distance was too far, and they could only see roughly the same as before.

The Chief Minister who was smiling the happiest also squinted at the black tower for a while, but after failing to see anything, he turned to Feng Yanping who was waiting by the side.

Feng Yanping could no longer take care of him at this moment, and he squinted his eyes slightly, trying to see clearly the black tower in the eunuch's hand.

But Feng Yanping was standing very close to the door, and from his distance, no matter how good his eyes were, he couldn't see clearly.

Seeing that Feng Yanping dared to ignore him, the chief minister's face darkened, and he looked at Prince Jin in the palace again.

Prince Jin is also looking at the black tower above at this moment, but what does he care about?
