"Of course, there is!" Lin Fan nodded.
He originally thought about secretly giving the gift to the Dayan Dynasty, but unexpectedly Li Yanting mentioned the gift publicly. Thus, he had no choice but to present it in front of everyone!
"Oh? What are you planning to give?" Xiahou Qiongyin asked with interest.
"Yes! Lin Fan, what are you preparing to give? Take it out and let everyone take a look!" Li Yanting said amusingly.
In his view, Lin Fan was merely a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, what kind of congratulatory gift could he possibly bring?
No matter what congratulatory gift Lin Fan brings out, it couldn’t possibly surpass his.
As long as Li Yanting takes the opportunity to mock him, making Lin Fan lose face, his position in Nangong Li’s heart will surely drop a few notches!
"Since there’s a gift, then bring it out!" Nangong Zheng also nodded.
Now, the Dayan Dynasty was completely stuck in an awkward position.
They could only pin their hopes on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan nodded lightly, then took a step forward, pulling out a Storage Bag, and spoke faintly: "A thousand strains of Heaven-reaching Flower, a thousand strains of Phoenix Grass, a thousand strains of ordinary Ginseng, a thousand strains of ordinary Snow Lotus, a thousand strains of ordinary He Shou Wu!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The whole place went deadly silent!
Everyone was dumbstruck, their eyes nearly popping out, each of them frozen in place.
Within the entire Imperial Palace, it was extremely quiet!
Everyone’s breathing seemed to stop.
It was too unexpected!
But then, there was a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha! Cough... I’m dying of laughter... damn... how can there be such a person?" Many people laughed so hard they bent over backwards, tears leaking from their eyes.
"My goodness, where did he go, to some countryside? Did he empty out their apothecary? Ordinary Ginseng, ordinary Snow Lotus, ordinary He Shou Wu... Hahaha! Indeed, they are truly ordinary!" A young man laughed while stomping his feet in place.
Nangong Zheng’s face turned pitch black, and veins popped out on his forehead.
If it weren’t for the sake of face, and the last bit of dignity as the Emperor, he might have even stormed off!
Ordinary Ginseng, ordinary Snow Lotus, ordinary He Shou Wu, such low-grade medicinal materials, how many did the Royal Family of the Dayan Dynasty need that Lin Fan had to bring them!
And moreover, just a thousand plants?
Even the smallest officials of the Dayan Dynasty wouldn’t dream of offering such an inferior gift!!!
Xiahou Qiongyin’s look also became somewhat disappointed, she couldn’t help but wonder, did she misjudge the person?
"Father, Mother... This... this... Lin Fan didn’t do it on purpose..." Nangong Li hurriedly explained, her demeanor extremely anxious.
"Enough, Li’er! Be quiet!" Nangong Zheng shouted in a low voice, already on the brink of anger.
Li Yanting was also stunned for a long time before he finally reacted, giving Lin Fan a look that was both mocking and amused, his disdain clear on his face.
"Haha! Brother Lin Fan, this gift... it really is special indeed, and... it couldn’t be more ordinary!" Li Yanting laughed meaningfully.
From the moment Lin Fan presented this gift in public.
Any possibilities between Lin Fan and Nangong Li had vanished!
A person who, in the Imperial Palace, before the Emperor of the Dayan Dynasty, embarrassed the entire Dynasty, how could he possibly become the Prince Consort of the Dayan Dynasty?
No need to wait for tomorrow!
By tonight, this incident will have spread throughout the entire Dayan Dynasty.
By then, the Dayan Dynasty’s face would be utterly disgraced.
As for Lin Fan... perhaps...
"Certainly special." Lin Fan smiled lightly, then passed it toward Nangong Zheng and Xiahou Qiongyin.
Xiahou Qiongyin gave a glance, and an eunuch immediately stepped forward, taking the Storage Bag from Lin Fan’s hand.
Another burst of raucous laughter followed.
The mighty Emperor of an entire Dynasty, and on his birthday, someone actually brought ordinary ginseng, ordinary Snow Lotus, and ordinary He Shou Wu as gifts?
Such things can be bought at any rural medicinal shop.
To present them before His Majesty? That’s simply brainless!
Seeing the crowd’s laughter, Nangong Zheng’s face grew uglier and his gaze towards Lin Fan turned colder by the second!!!
The eunuch respectfully held the Storage Bag in his palm and passed it to Nangong Zheng.
Nangong Zheng did not take it, merely snorting coldly. Taking it now would only embarrass him further.
Xiahou Qiongyin sighed heavily, her look of disappointment directed at Lin Fan before she took the Storage Bag from his hand.
She swept her Divine Sense through the Storage Bag.
Xiahou Qiongyin’s face suddenly stiffened, her whole body trembling.
With a whoosh, she stood up from the Dragon Throne, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, to the extent that she withdrew her Divine Sense from the Storage Bag, then entered it again!
"What’s wrong, Empress? Is there a problem with the gift?" Nangong Zheng frowned.
As the mother of a country, displaying such a shocked demeanor was very unbecoming.
"Empress must have been startled by something in the Storage Bag!"
"Haha! That’s true, if it were me, I’d be furious to receive such things!"
"Sigh, this Lin Fan... he looks normal, why isn’t his brain working?"
Thousands inside the Imperial Palace were shaking their heads, all smiling.
Xiahou Qiongyin took a deep breath, her delicate body still trembling slightly.
But finally, she managed to calm her startled heart a bit, gave Lin Fan a deep look, then turned back to Nangong Zheng, smiling and said: "Your Majesty, there’s no problem with the gift! It’s all ordinary Medicinal Materials, a thousand stalks of ordinary ginseng, a thousand stalks of ordinary Snow Lotus, a thousand stalks of ordinary He Shou Wu, even the Lingxiao Flowers and Phoenix Grass are the most ordinary types, as ordinary as can be!"
"Hmph! If so, why mention it, Empress!" Nangong Zheng’s face darkened.
Are you trying to embarrass me again?
"The items are very ordinary!"
Xiahou Qiongyin nodded lightly, Yanran smiled, and said, "But Your Majesty, what if these ordinary items were ten thousand years old?"
"What did you say?" Nangong Zheng gasped in shock.
Xiahou Qiongyin did not explain further, but instead flipped the Storage Bag with her hand.
From Xiahou Qiongyin’s Storage Bag, the Lingxiao Flowers, Phoenix Grass, ordinary ginseng, ordinary Snow Lotus, ordinary He Shou Wu, all fell like raindrops.
A terrifying wave of Spiritual Energy rushed at them, so thick it was nearly tangible.
The crowd gasped in unison, feeling a tingling on their scalps.
"Damn it! What is this? My eyes, my eyes!" Someone screamed, frightened enough to sit down abruptly, their eyeballs nearly bursting.
