Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Prince Zhao gave you three brands just now, and you gave her a hug. This king gave you so many brands, why didn't you show me at all?" Chu Xuanchen said unhappy.

"So that's the case? Okay, I'll give you a hug too." Yun Ruoyue didn't expect that this guy would shame in public.

"Three signs for a hug, this king has twelve here, how can one be enough?" Chu Xuanchen asked coldly, standing upright.

"I'll give you four, right? Buy four and get one free, plus one more, five, is that enough?" Yun Ruoyue was afraid that others would notice their conversation, she hurried to Chu Xuanchen and hugged quickly He hits five times.

Then, she quickly withdrew, blushing, lowered her head, staring only at her toes.

This scene must have been seen by others, and someone must be laughing at her in their hearts.

"It's pretty much the same." After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he walked away calmly and contentedly.

Finally, Emperor Hongyuan got up personally, and solemnly dropped his brand into Yun Ruoyue's box.

Even the emperor voted Yun Ruoyue, and she was immediately the first place.

Emperor Hongyuan finally announced, "Princess Li is smart and graceful, with outstanding skills, and she has the most brands, and she deserves the first place. That piece of my personal jade pendant will be given to her from now on."

After speaking, he put the jade pendant on the tray in the hands of the eunuch.

After Yun Ruoyue thanked him for his gratitude, she accepted the jade pendant.

As for who the second and third place are, no one cares about it anymore.

At this moment, Yun Ruoyue became the focus of everyone again.

After she sat back in her seat, she pretended to be immersed in peeling the pine nuts. She didn't want to be the focus of the court anymore, otherwise, the Queen's party would be jealous.

When voting just now, the Queen’s party voted second, a niece of the Queen’s family.

When casting, the eyes of Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui and others wanted to swallow her alive.

So she decided to keep a low profile.

When the contest of the noble ladies came to an end, at this moment, the envoys who were sitting in the corner and wearing foreign costumes suddenly stood up together.

Among them, the head of an envoy with a beard and a felt robe, provocatively said: "Your Majesty, since my Dayi country became a vassal state of Chu, it has paid tribute every year and became a minister every year. The tribute for so many years has caused our country’s national strength to be exhausted and the treasury is empty. My people in Dayi are not happy anymore. Today, I have a question to test everyone. Within Yizhuxiang’s time, if anyone can In the boiling oil pan, I took out the holy beads of my Dayi with bare hands, and my Dayi continued to proclaim his ministers to the State of Chu and continue to pay tribute. If the time for a stick of incense comes, no warrior can take out the holy beads, then Will Chu State exempt my Dayi from paying tribute?"

As soon as this statement came out, the four were in an uproar.

This kind of diplomatic conference of envoys usually causes troubles, usually because the tributary countries that pay tribute do not obey, do not want to pay tribute, or want to pay less and get more benefits, or the enemy's provocations.

Unexpectedly, it also appeared this time.

When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, his face was so gloomy that he could bleed. "Fifteen years ago, your Dayi voluntarily bowed to my Chu State and paid tribute. In exchange, my Chu State will send troops to protect your Dayi. Security. Your Dayi has not had a war for more than a decade, and has not been harassed or bullied by other countries. It is all thanks to my asylum from the State of Chu. Why, you don’t want the asylum of the State of Chu now?"
