Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel 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 50,000 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 500,000 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 mean..."

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 a n imperial edict to marry into the Tibetan Kingdom, h e 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 demise 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 killed 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.
