The Ultimate Husband

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 54 – Kingston took a deep breath; his

expression also looked hideous. He turned around and whispered to Yvonne, “Is this the honorary

antique appraiser you hired? For $o,ooo bucks a month?”

‘Even if our family has the money, that is no need to spend in such a reckless manner.’

Yvonne said nothing; a trace of shame flashed in her eyes.

The bald man laughed as though he had met his confidante; he patted Darryl’s shoulder and said, ” This

brother is indeed knowledgeable!”

Darryl merely smiled.

Kingston stared at Darryl sternly and said coldly, ” Tell me. How is this thing worth soo,ooo bucks?”

‘No, it is worth more than that! It’s worth more than five million bucks! You will make a lot of money if you

buy it.’ Darryl thought to himself.

Then, he cleared his throat and said slowly, “Uncle Young, don’t be anxious. I’ll explain it to you. Uncle

Young knows about Princess Wencheng, right?”

Kingston was a little impatient. When he heard the name, he was suddenly reminded of something,

and his body quivered in shock. “Did you meangqqfl

Then, Kingston shook his head. “Impossible¡ absolutely impossible!”

The historical records about Princess Wencheng were mainly about her marriage to a Tibetan prince.

However, in the antique world, there was hearsay about Princess Wencheng.

Princess Wencheng had loved porcelain since she was a child. When the Emperor Taizong of Tang gave

her an imperial edict to marry into the Tibetan Kingdom, he also gave her a porcelain vase. The porcelain

vase was rumored to be a tributary from the Tibetan Kingdom to the emperor.

The unique geographical location of the Tibetan Kingdom had made its culture greatly influenced by the

culture of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. Therefore, the porcelain made by the Tibetan

imperial family was exceptional and very rare.

Almost nothing of the art had remained in the modern days.

It was rumored that Princess Wencheng liked that porcelain vase very much, and she took it with her

wherever she went.

Gradually, the porcelain vase gained spirituality. It was said that when one put their ears to the mouth of

the vase and listened carefully, one could hear the sound of water gurgling from the inside. That was

because every time the princess missed her hometown, the Tang Kingdom, she would sit by the stream

with her beloved vase as she reminisced about her past.

It was also rumored that the princess’s beloved vase had a supernatural attribute. Before Princess

Wencheng was married, her real name was Li Xueyan. Hence, people from the later generations named

the vase as Xueyan Promenade Vase.

Very few people had seen the actual Xueyan Promenade Vase, and it disappeared after the d****e of

Princess Wencheng.

It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Xueyan Promenade Bottle miraculously appeared in

a gentry’s home in Jiangnan. The news spread, and the members of that family were k****d within a few

days.

Then the Xueyan Promenade Vase went missing again.

The location of the vase or whether it was destroyed remained a mystery.

Therefore, when Darryl mentioned Princess Wencheng, Kingston immediately thought of the rumor.

‘Did he mean that this vase is the Xueyan Promenade Vase! That’s impossible!’

‘Could such a speculative artifact appear in Pearl Pavilion?’

‘No way!’

Kingston’s thoughts spun quickly; his facial expressions changed continuously, which surprised the

crowd.

Darryl pointed at the vase in front of him. He said with a smile, “Uncle Young, even though the shape of

this porcelain vase is very peculiar, it is very similar to the style of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same

time, it has the taste of the Western Regions. It is the unique location of Tibet that created this neither

fish nor fowl piece of art.”

“The colorful glaze on it was influenced by the Western Regions’ culture. It lacks the Tang Dynasty’ s

ancient charm and has more of the Western Region’s aesthetics for vibrant colors.”

“Look at this colorful glaze again. It is so beautiful and dazzling; it feels like it was made in modem times.

The Tibetan had added some colored glazed elements when they applied the paint.”

He was not loud, but what he said made sense!

There was a moment of silence!

Everyone was in a daze. Besides Kingston, no one else could understand what Darryl had said!

‘What about the Tibetan Kingdom?’ ‘Why did he mention colored glaze?’

Darryl noticed that Kingston was still in doubt, so he said with a smile, “It was the colored glaze on the

outside that strengthened the body of this porcelain vase. It made it last for thousands of years without

any bumps and cracks.”

Gulp!

One could almost hear it when Kingston swallowed his saliva. Then, he placed his ears at the mouth of

the vase and listened carefully.

“This… Is this really the Xueyan Promenade Vase?” After about ten seconds, Kingston’s expression

changed from doubtful to shocked, and finally, he looked at Darryl in astonishment¡ his voice became a

little hoarse due to excitement.

‘What?’

’Xueyan Promenade Vase?’

The expressions of the antique store owners changed drastically.

When Darryl explained the details of the porcelain vase, they were still in disbelief. However, after they

heard Kingston repeated the name of the vase, they all stood in shock

Of course, they had heard of the Xueyan Promenade Vase. Who in the antique industry had not heard

about it?
