The Evil Emperor's Beloved
Chapter 31: Birthday Banquet in the Palace - 3
When it was the Leng family's turn to present gifts, Jing Yueli was shocked by Leng Tianchang's outrageous move, which was too thoughtless.
Leng Tianchang stepped out of the line and came to the center of the hall. He had no gift box in his hand, and there was no servant behind him to help him carry the gift.
Then, he knelt down on one knee and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve.
I also heard him say, "Your Majesty, on the occasion of your birthday, our Leng family is willing to donate one million taels of silver to supply food and fodder for our Xuanyuan army. I beg Your Majesty to satisfy my loyalty as a subject."
This is to show loyalty!
In order to avoid others noticing anything unusual, Jing Yueli was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that she quickly lowered her head.
"Hahaha..." Jing Yueli was really amused. Look at Emperor Xuanyuan's face, it was almost the color of liver.
Si Mowen beside her didn't even have the face to look at this guy.
Looking at the other members of the Leng family, they all looked proud.
However, perhaps this is exactly the Leng family's consistent style. As the war god family of Xuanyuan Country, everything they do is based on considerations for this country and all the people behind them.
Even on days like today, some people seem to be quite careless, but they can only hold it in.
First of all, they are the second prince’s maternal grandparents, and secondly, their military force is here.
Didn’t you see that although Emperor Xuanyuan looked unhappy, he hasn’t expressed his opinion yet?
Jing Yueli didn't ask for any special treatment here and asked her grandfather to prepare a spiritual ginseng.
The gift was neither good nor bad, there was no need to show off at this time. Besides, she didn't want Emperor Xuanyuan to pay too much attention to her, she still had to work on her career.
Just when everyone thought that today's gift-giving session was coming to an end, Jing Yuehan finally moved.
Originally, Jing Yueli thought that with Jing Yuehan's personality she should make a high-profile appearance and present the gift she carefully prepared for Emperor Xuanyuan, but she ended up taking a low-key approach.
I don't know what she is up to.
Jing Yuehan stood up and walked past Jing Yueli to the center of the hall. In an instant, all eyes were on her, and she raised her chin proudly, like a peacock spreading its tail.
"Haha!" She did this for the finale.
Jing Yueli couldn't help but look towards the man's seat and saw her grandfather frowning slightly.
Although Xuanyuan Xu was looking in Jing Yuehan's direction, when Jing Yueli looked up, her gaze met his. He glanced at Jing Yueli and then immediately looked away.
Xuanyuan Chen on his left did not even raise his head from beginning to end, but just lowered his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Emperor Xuanyuan, who was sitting on the throne, put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the scene, and did not speak a word, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Then he turned around and looked at Prime Minister Jing below, wondering, "Are the younger generation of Jing Aiqing's family below?"
"Puchi" Jing Yueli really couldn't hold it back. Realizing something, she quickly covered her face with her sleeves and turned her head away.
Jing Yueli found it a little unbelievable. Why was Jing Yuehan jumping around like that?
After all the busy work, in the end...no one even recognizes her.
How much he wants to show his presence in front of Emperor Xuanyuan!
Before Old Master Jing could speak, Jing Yuehan interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, I am Jing Yuehan from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Emperor Xuanyuan: "Oh? Are you from... the second branch of the Jing family?"
Jing Yuehan: "Yes, Your Majesty, I know it's Your Majesty's birthday today, so I came back from Yunhai College to celebrate your birthday."
Emperor Xuanyuan: "Yes, yes, I remember now, you went to Yunhai College with that kid from the Jing family."
The boy that Emperor Xuanyuan was referring to was naturally Jing Yueli's brother, Jing Wenhao.
Jing Yueli looked at her grandfather again and saw that his brows were furrowed even more tightly. Yes, it was estimated that the grandfather did not expect that his granddaughter would speak like this. Where would that put his grandson who was in Yunhai College?
Jing Yueli was not surprised at all. No one knew Jing Yuehan better than her. This time, Jing Yueli did not do anything to stop him. She wanted Grandpa to see the Second House clearly. If she took action against the Second House one day, he would not be an obstacle to her.
Emperor Xuanyuan: "Okay, let's see what gift you brought me. You even came back from Yunhai College specially."
As he spoke, Jing Yuehan took out a brocade box from the maid behind him.
When the brocade box was opened, everyone present was shocked by what was inside. Of course, this did not include Jing Yueli.
If it was before, Jing Yueli might be as shocked as everyone else present, but now...
Jing Yueli touched the ring on her finger and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
When Jing Yueli thought of this, she immediately looked in the direction of Xuanyuan Xu. Sure enough, his expression was extremely ugly, even darker than Emperor Xuanyuan's face when Leng Tianchang gave him the silver bills just now.
What Jing Yuehan gave to Emperor Xuanyuan was a green spirit crystal the size of a palm.
When Emperor Xuanyuan saw the spiritual crystal, he was only a little surprised when he opened the box, but he didn't feel anything afterwards. However, he still kept his usual faint smile on his face and spoke while looking at Jing Yuehan.
"You are thoughtful." And that was all.
Jing Yuehan froze in place for a moment.
Jing Yuehan was too clever for her own good and thought that she had obtained an invaluable treasure. She could not wait to return from the academy to give it to Emperor Xuanyuan as a birthday gift.
In the Xuanyuan royal family, although such things are in short supply, they do exist.
Jing Yuehan has never really had contact with the center of power since she was born, so how could she know such top-secret information?
"Yuehan, step back." Old Master Jing finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but speak up.
These few simple words are enough to show his current mood.
Jing Yuehan was taken back to her seat by the maid like a puppet.
After Jing Yuehan returned to her seat, people in the room began to whisper.
"What's going on? Why doesn't His Majesty seem very happy?"
.......
"That's a spiritual stone. How could Jing Yuehan have something like that?"
"Fifth Prince, the eldest daughter of the Jing family is very nice. Such things are presented directly to Your Majesty."
...
...
"The eldest lady of the Jing family really stole the show this time. If I also had a spiritual stone, I would almost wake up from laughing."
How could they know that the Fifth Prince's heart must be bleeding right now. Jing Yuehan didn't give him such a thing, but instead gave it to Emperor Xuanyuan instead of him.
Normally, only the princes themselves know how much effort they have to put in to get a spirit stone from their father.
What they didn't know was how much Emperor Xuanyuan had done to conceal the fact that the royal family had such cultivation resources.
This time, Jing Yuehan has knocked down a whole group of people with one stroke.
She has offended everyone she shouldn't have offended. I guess the Jing family will be affected to some extent, I hope the old man can hold on.
She was too lazy to care about such things. She couldn't rely on her to solve such problems every time. It was time for them to pay the price for what they had done.
