Chapter Twenty-Five: The Legend of True Love
The Beijiang envoy stood up and walked into the great hall, clapping his hands and saying: "The Northern King's consort is indeed famous, but it's even better to hear her in person!"
Xia Tong only then carefully took a closer look at the Beijiang Jie Shi, and saw that it was a middle-aged man with dark and rugged features, a strong and robust physique, and a thin brown brocade robe with white furry animal hair rolled up at the collar! It looked like autumn had arrived!
However, the northern border is indeed a severely cold place!
"You're too kind!"
Liuying stood up from her seat, curtsied, and then allowed Muruocheng to help her sit back down.
"Oriole, don't be so nervous!"
A low whisper came from beside her, right next to her, and couldn't be ignored! Xia Tong's heart was involuntarily pricked again!
Muyun Sheng across from him saw this, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and another cup of wine was poured into his belly.
"I have come to report to Your Majesty of the Southern Kingdom that a rare treasure has recently been obtained from the Northern Border." As he spoke, a man standing on his right side immediately stepped forward with a small, exquisitely carved red box.
The Northern Territory envoy raised his hand and opened it, immediately radiating a brilliant light that made everyone's eyes narrow slightly or cover with their sleeves.
"This is Beijiang's gift of meeting for Nan Guo!" The envoy of Beijiang held the box with his hands, slightly lowered it and took a step forward.
Xia Tong's curious gaze swept over it and immediately saw clearly: It was a necklace with a large heart-shaped red gemstone, surrounded by irregularly shaped diamonds that seemed to be shining like tears. The red gemstone shone brightly, like a celestial being descending from the heavens, exuding an otherworldly aura, and its nobility and elegance were on full display.
Even a person who doesn't know how to appreciate it will understand its value when they see it!!
The sound of admiration rose and fell in the great hall, and Mu Yunsheng across from them was also drawn in. Even Mu Beifeng on the throne was attracted to it, and even Mu Beidou and Liu Ying stopped their sweet whispers, looking at the box with surprise etched on their faces.
The Northern Border Envoy smiled slightly, looking at the astonished expressions on everyone's faces: "This is a rare treasure of the North, called True Love. Its value can't be compared to a city!" The Northern Border Envoy swept his gaze across the room, seeing that everyone had been successfully drawn in, and continued: "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a deeply in love couple who were not blessed by others. They eloped to escape their families' strong opposition! Unfortunately, they were discovered on the night of their elopement! The angry family members cut off the man's feet and imprisoned him in the clan, while the woman was married off far away, never to be reunited in this life! A loving couple was torn apart like this! However, when the woman learned that her lover had not died, she managed to escape and searched for him through countless hardships. When she found him, he was on his last breath, calling out her name with a smile as he took his final breath in her arms. The woman also followed him in death. According to legend, their tears of true love fell onto a necklace at the moment of their deaths, and those tears transformed into the starlight surrounding it, forever embracing the red heart, never parting. This is now known as True Love! It's also said that if a man can shed a tear when personally putting this on his most beloved, he will receive the blessing of that ancient couple and be together with her forever, even if they are separated by vast distances, they will find each other in the vast sea of people.
