Chapter 240 Birthday Gift
Chapter 240 Birthday Gift
Song Minyan's words stunned the onlookers. Yes, the person who was granted the title by His Majesty seemed to have the surname Yuan, and the Crown Princess also had the surname Yuan.
But why is this person surnamed Yao?
Yao Yu looked at him and smiled. He hadn't smiled since Song Minyan came over and said those words, but now he suddenly laughed.
"Third Prince, I have been traveling around Anguo for quite a while. I wonder if you have seen the imperial edict that conferred the title on me. Otherwise, how did you know that my surname should be Yuan instead of Yao?"
Song Minyan was stunned. He also heard about this matter from those students. Some people found it strange that why the Crown Princess's surname was Yuan, while Marquis Leshan's surname was Yao.
He was also puzzled by this matter, so he arranged for someone to check it out and confirmed that when Emperor An first bestowed the title, he mentioned that Marquis Leshan's surname was Yuan.
He just said this in a fit of excitement. "My Lord, you are joking. This is something that everyone in Kyoto knows. The man who was given the title of Marquis of Leshan by Emperor An was named Yuan."
Yao Yu sneered, "This marquis has never appeared in front of the public. It is only during this visit to Kyoto that I have met Your Majesty for the first time."
"Do you know how I got the title of Marquis of Leshan?"
Song Minyan naturally knew this, and he also knew what Marquis Leshan had brought to Anguo.
Yao Yu glanced at him, then looked at the others, then turned to look at Yuan Man.
"That was granted by His Majesty when I donated grain to the court in the name of my sister to build a river."
"Your Majesty has never met me, so he thought my sister Yuan Man was me, so the imperial edict said Yuan Man instead of me."
These words were decided after he discussed with the emperor. Anyway, no one knew who the real donor was at the time. They only knew that it was Jubaolou and Yuanman.
Those who investigated Jubao Tower have now stepped down, so they can say whatever they want.
What's more, the emperor has his back, so he is even less afraid.
"Third Prince, do you still have any doubts about my identity?" Yao Yu retracted his gaze and looked at him.
Song Minyan looked at him, frowning slightly, "Why does the Marquis dislike me so much? Did I offend the Marquis in any way?"
Yao Yu turned around and sat down. As he got older, his legs and feet became uncomfortable after standing for a long time.
Yaoyao immediately poured him a cup of tea, "Dad, you must be thirsty, drink some tea."
"Look at you. Why are you talking so much to someone you don't know? If he suspects you of pretending to be Marquis Leshan, let him suspect you. Why do you need to prove anything to him?"
"As long as His Majesty knows that you are not fake, no one else matters."
Yao Yu smiled and nodded, "Yaoyao is right."
Song Minyan looked at Yaoyao, with more desire to conquer in his eyes.
Yuan Er glanced at Song Minyan and said calmly, "Third Prince, take back those inappropriate thoughts, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Song Minyan looked at him, saw the murderous intent in his eyes, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I am the third prince of Song State. If you dare to kill me in An State, just wait for the two countries to go to war."
Yuan Er sneered, "I can kill you quietly and throw you back to Song. If you don't believe me, the Third Prince can try it."
Song Minyan's eyelids twitched, "Are you threatening me?"
"It's obvious, isn't it?" The murderous intent in Yuan Er's eyes was so strong that it made Song Minyan feel fear in his heart.
Yuan Er snorted and walked towards Yuan Man.
Song Minyan turned around and watched him leave until he walked in front of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Then the three of them started talking about something, and the Crown Princess glanced at him.
He didn't know how to describe that look.
It feels like he is looked down upon.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Song Minyan felt sick and no longer had the mood to talk to Yao Yu.
At the same time, he was also thinking about the threat just now. Although he had two secret guards given by his father, he knew that they would not be a match for that man.
Just from that moment on that day, he knew very well that he was no match for him.
Yuan Man retracted his gaze and said, "Don't worry about it. Just be careful not to let him get close to Yaoyao."
"Oh, and when you go over later, please tell me a message."
"Yes." After hearing her words, Yuan Er returned to where Yao Yu and the others were.
At this time, Song Minyan had already exchanged seats with the person next to him and sat at the upper right corner of Yaoyao.
Yuan Er knew his choice when he saw him, and walked up to him and said coldly: "The Crown Princess asked me to tell you that the Emperor Song is seriously ill. I wonder how long the Third Prince plans to play in Anguo?"
"Also, if you dare to get close to Yaoyao again, she will send you back to Song."
Song Minyan stood up quickly, "What did you say?"
"I believe there is nothing wrong with the third prince's ears." After Yuan Er finished speaking, he walked behind Yao Yao again.
Yaoyao pulled him to sit next to her, "Still standing back, someone will say something to you later."
Song Minyan looked at Yuan Er, wondering what his identity was that allowed him to enter the palace and have a say in front of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
Was what he just said true or false?
He indeed hadn't received any news from the capital for a few days.
He has stayed in Anguo for so long now, and his eldest brother should have returned to Songguo. It is not easy but not difficult to cut off his information.
As for the Crown Princess, he was not afraid that she would do anything to him. It would not be so easy to send him away.
Hui Chengyuan glanced at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he asked, "Ah Man, it's getting late, let's go back first."
Yuan Man took a look and saw that the emperor and empress were enjoying the show. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give the gift to my father."
"You also prepared a gift?" Hui Chengyuan looked at her in surprise.
Yuan Man raised an eyebrow, "It's my father's birthday, it's normal for me to give him a gift."
"Yuan Yi, bring it here."
Yuan Yi nodded and took out a long gift box.
"Let's go. After giving the gifts, we will go back." Yuan Man stood up and walked towards the emperor and empress.
They were not far away, sitting next to each other.
In fact, the emperor and the empress mostly focused their attention on Yuanbao, and only occasionally watched the show on stage.
Seeing them arrive and taking a look at the time, I knew they were preparing to go back.
"Father, I wish you good fortune as deep as the sea and great luck as high as the sky. This is your birthday gift from your son. I hope you will be happy every day and everything goes well." After Yuan Man finished speaking, he handed over the gift box.
The emperor now became interested. In the past, there had always been a gift-giving session on his birthday celebration, but it was cancelled during years of disaster and was not added this year either, so there was no gift-giving session.
"Open it and let me see what the Crown Princess sent you."
Mr. Cao stepped forward to take the gift box, glanced at Yuanman, and then opened it.
When Hui Chengyuan saw what was lying in the gift box, his eyebrows raised.
Yuan Man took out the contents of the gift box and handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, take a look. I hope you like it."
The emperor took the deerskin handed over by Yuan Man and his eyelids twitched. "What is this?"
"Father, you will know once you take a look." Yuan Man smiled.
Hui Chengyuan leaned close to her ear and whispered.
Yuanman smiled and nodded.
