Chapter Thirty-Four: Silver is Mine
nd it also emitted a faint fluorescence, indicating that it was a high-quality piece of warm jade.Su Qingying took the jade pendant, her mouth curving up to the back of her ear, "Deal!"Jun Liye could..."You little punk! That money is mine! What business is it of yours! It's the result of my hard work! If you dare to lay a finger on it, I'll fight you tooth and nail!" When it came to money, Su Qingying became agitated. She absolutely refused to allow anyone to touch her earnings.
Damn it, she dragged him all the way from the countryside to be a prostitute. After all that talking and tiring herself out, she only managed to get three thousand taels
"The dumbfounded expressions of the crowd were once again weathered. The dignified princess turned out to be so greedy, it truly refreshed everyone's worldview."
Su Ziyi suddenly felt his face burning hot, his composure was slipping. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Prince Regent of Beiling, this matter of the silver owed by Ying'er, this palace will have someone deliver it to your palace shortly. I implore Prince Regent not to hold a grudge against Ying'er like she did."
The moment these words left his mouth, Su Qingying instantly felt indignant, "Why, brother emperor, that money..." is mine.
"Ying'er!" Even though Su Ziyix was fond of Su Qingying, he couldn't disregard the face of Emperor Dongyue. "Don't you even listen to your elder brother"
"Oh, I see." Su Qingying very reluctantly closed her mouth. She didn't want to upset Su Ziyixing, who adored her. She could just steal it back tonight anyway.
"Prince Dong Yue need not be angry, this King was merely jesting with the Fifth Princess. Riches are but external things, and a mere three thousand taels of silver is nothing to this King." Jun Li Ye said languidly, glancing at Su Qingying with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"Since you think wealth is an external thing, you can give it to me. I don't mind keeping it for you. Really, I am the kindest person who likes to help others." Su Qingying's eyes glowed green, staring fixedly at Jun Liye, completely ignoring Su Ziyi's warning.
Hearing this, Su Ziyì's face darkened even further, "Ying'er! Don't be reckless!"
"With a pout, Su Qingying drooped her head and muttered, "Your Highness, it was just a joke. I was joking with the Regent King, please don't be angry."
He glanced at her meaningfully, Jun Li Ye's thin lips curled slightly. He absolutely believed that what she had just said was no joke. This woman seemed to have a special fondness for silver!
After a commotion, it was time for each country to present gifts to Emperor Xuanyuan Luocheng.
"Northern Ling Country, a pair of blood jade corals, ten thousand taels of gold, eight treasures glazed..."
"The Kingdom of Jinling, a box of warm jade and emerald, the night pearl of the South China Sea…"
The eunuch's sharp voice echoed throughout the entire hall as he listed the gifts from various countries. Su Qingying stretched her ears, listening intently to a long list of valuable gold, silver, and jewels, her heart yearning for them!
Wow, I didn't realize the emperor got so many presents for his birthday. They sound really expensive! I wonder if the princess gets presents for her birthday too.
Touching her nonexistent beard, Su Qingying started doing the math again. Should she also try to become an emperor Or maybe tonight she could sneak into Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's room and steal his money, then run away to a faraway land.
As she was lost in fantasies of a bright future, the eunuchs had already reported all the gifts from various countries. A mountain of gifts was carried away by people and stored in the treasury at the command of Xuan Yuan Luo Chen.
After three rounds of drinks, Su Qingying found the gathering unbearably dull. Worse still, throughout the entire banquet, Jun Liye and Xuan Yuan Locen kept staring at her without blinking. Their gazes were like they wanted to dissect her alive.
These two big Buddhas are seriously holding a grudge, what's the big deal Everyone goes through a rebellious phase when they're young. It's not like she did anything terrible. They look like they want to kill me! If only she had known their identity beforehand, she wouldn't have dared to mess with them. she stands in their way, don't blame them for being impolite!"Hee hee hee...the Fifth Princess is truly the emperor's pearl. I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry her in the future Oh, look...
