Chapter 870: Chapter 690: This Is the Gift List!
Hongyan Jiaojiao was straightforward, grabbing Madam Zheng without even asking who she was.
“Ah!” The sudden turn of events made Madam Zheng’s face change drastically, and she scread in shock.
“Slap!” Hongyan Jiaojiao raised her hand and delivered a loud slap.
Half of Madam Zheng’s face imdiately turned red, and she was slapped to the ground.
“You! How dare you hit !” Madam Zheng yelled in a mix of sha and anger.
Hongyan Jiaojiao didn’t even glance at her as she lay on the ground. Her figure flashed again, and she pulled Prince Liang out, kicking him to the ground directly.
“Where did these any Tom, Dick or Harry co from, daring to criticize my emperor!” Hongyan Jiaojiao withdrew her hand and looked angrily at the two people lying on the ground. Then she turned to Emperor Zhoulin with a furious face, “Old man of the Zhou Dynasty, you have good taste, but your subordinates lack discernnt. Since that’s the case, I shall discipline them on your behalf!”
The sudden change was unexpected for everyone. Who could have thought that the envoy from the Southern Country would be so fierce, acting without a word?
And providing a beating to one was Prince Liang, the other being… Gu Changsheng’s future mother-in-law!
This…
“According to the laws of our Southern Country, slandering our emperor warrants execution by slicing, but since we are in your Zhou Dynasty, I shall give you a face by rely teaching a lesson. If they dare to be disrespectful again, even at the cost of disregarding diplomatic relations, I will take their lives to assert my emperor’s authority!” Hongyan Jiaojiao was livid, exuding a chilling aura.
Seeing this, everyone’s hearts tightened.
Indeed, this is the way of the Southern Border Barbarians, quick to violence, regardless of place or occasion.
“Bitch! How dare you hit ? I am…” Madam Zheng struggled to her feet, glaring at Hongyan Jiaojiao and began to speak.
“Slap!”
Another loud slap landed on the other side of Madam Zheng’s face.
Everyone winced, just listening made them feel pain for Madam Zheng!
“Where did this dog barking co from, lacking all sense of decorum!” Hongyan Jiaojiao rebuked, truly enraged.
Zhou Mu watched the chaos coldly, a glint of chill passing through his eyes, not stopping Hongyan Jiaojiao’s actions.
He did not intervene, but Emperor Zhoulin had to.
“Guards! Drag these two ungrateful fools away, and once the Southern Emperor’s carriage is welcod, I’ll deal with them upon my return!” Emperor Zhoulin roared.
Imdiately, several Imperial Forest Army mbers stepped forward to drag Prince Liang and Madam Zheng away.
“Hold on!” Hongyan Jiaojiao raised her hand to stop them with a dark face, her gaze sinister. “Didn’t they say my emperor’s dowry is shabby? Then let them take a look, open the boxes, and let them see with their dog eyes!”
With that, Hongyan Jiaojiao stepped forward, snatching back the struggling pair from the hands of the Imperial Forest Army.
The Female Officials opened the boxes as commanded, and Hongyan Jiaojiao, pressing down Madam Zheng and Prince Liang’s heads, led them to a dressing box, speaking with a nacing tone, “Look clearly, this is my emperor’s dowry!”
Unable to break free, Madam Zheng kept cursing but was stunned upon seeing the contents of the box.
Prince Liang forgot to curse as well, both of them stupefied.
What were they looking at? Bundles of Imperial Silk, neatly stacked in the box. The Southern Emperor’s dowry was this Imperial Silk?
“Haha… didn’t know before, but now that I see it, I’m shocked. I expected treasures in the nine boxes to be modest, but it turns out to be just so silk!” Madam Zheng, realizing, laughed imdiately, her swollen red face twisting grotesquely, “Nine boxes of silk as a dowry? The Southern Emperor is truly beyond help in poverty!”
“Haha… I have truly seen it all today, such generous hand from the Southern Emperor, scared to death!” Prince Liang, seeing the contents, laughed even more wantonly.
“Get out!” Seeing this, Hongyan Jiaojiao kicked both of them without hesitation, turning and throwing them to the ground, “I’ve seen the blind, but never such blindness! This is Imperial Silk! Made from South Sea rmaid Silk! Uncorrupted for a thousand years, unaffected by water or fire!”
“Gasp!”
“Oh!”
“…”
Everyone inhaled sharply upon hearing that.
rmaid Silk from the South Sea, worth ten thousand gold? Nine whole boxes of it?
What a generous hand from the Southern Emperor!
Everyone’s gaze towards those nine boxes imdiately beca fervent. Prince Liang and Madam Zheng, after hearing this, their faces changed imdiately.
As mbers of the Zhou Dynasty’s Imperial Family, they naturally knew the value of rmaid Silk, and even Madam Zheng couldn’t obtain even a piece of it!
The crowd “bood” into commotion, their eyes on the nine boxes smoldering like fire. Even the court officials edged closer, eager to see the legendary rmaid Silk!
Hongyan Jiaojiao, seeing this, not yet appeased, reached into the box and pulled out a piece of rmaid Silk Imperial Silk. Light as nothing, thin as a cicada’s wings, the silk unfolded, over a ter long, dangling in Hongyan Jiaojiao’s hand. She stepped forward with the piece, speaking in a low voice to the gathered crowd, “Open your eyes wide and take a good look, this is the gift list!”
The gift list!
Boom!
A bomb exploded in everyone’s hearts.
A gift list made of rmaid Silk?
Thin as a cicada’s wing, nine large boxes, all gift lists?
Emperor Zhoulin couldn’t help but step forward, widening his old eyes to see clearly. Indeed, words were embroidered in tiny characters on the rmaid Silk…
This…
Everyone’s posture beca a bit unstable!
The boxes are so large, the rmaid Silk so thin, nine boxes of gift lists!
“Our Emperor’s dowry, nine boxes of gift lists, right before your eyes!” Hongyan Jiaojiao stood before the crowd, speaking solemnly, “The dowry resources amount to two thousand three hundred and ninety-nine carts, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine trays, now escorted by fifty thousand Honor Guard Army!”
“Thud!” Prince Liang imdiately knelt down.
Madam Zheng also fell to the ground on her buttocks.
“Two thousand three hundred and ninety-nine carts? Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine trays?” Emperor Zhoulin’s stance was a bit unstable; if Han Shan hadn’t supported him, he would probably fall.
Godfather!
For the Imperial Family to marry, if the dowry has over a hundred trays, it’s already remarkable, but who talks about dowry in thousands?
The people imdiately were shocked into a stupor!
This dowry is truly a bit terrifying!
The gift lists are made of rmaid Silk that is hard to find even for ten thousand gold, so imagine the dowry being on par!
Everyone had a feeling of not knowing what day it was today, being scared weak-kneed by this earth-shattering, ghost-weeping gift list!
Prince Liang and Madam Zheng wore faces of defeat, full of disbelief!
This is not on the sa level at all!
“You worthless things, get out of here!” Emperor Zhoulin kicked the two people, his face nearly green with anger, godfather Fourth Auntie Grandma, if this dowry is shabby, who would dare marry their daughters in this world?
This…
“Hmph!” Hongyan Jiaojiao, seeing everyone like this, still had a few dissatisfied expressions on her face.
“I will accept the gift list and incorporate it into this war gains, to be sent into my Royal Palace on the big wedding day!” Zhou Mu finally spoke beside her, waving to Jiang One and others.
Jiang One and General Er stepped forward, rather wary, to carry the nine heavy boxes away, afraid of dropping them accidentally!
This farce finally declared an end when everyone was scared out of their wits, but their eyes still followed the movent of those nine boxes, eagerly yearning…
Zhou Mu opened his mouth, and Hongyan Jiaojiao couldn’t act up again, casting a furious glance at the two lying on the ground before turning around with the female officials behind her, heading to her own Emperor’s Imperial Carriage.
Gu Changsheng had just changed into the Imperial Robe, as people were putting on the crown, when Hongyan Jiaojiao stord back furiously.
She bypassed the serving female officials, walked to Gu Changsheng’s front, and knelt down with a thud.
“What happened?” Gu Changsheng was stunned on seeing this.
She was inside changing robes, still two or three miles away from the city gate, dolled up by everyone, she really hadn’t noticed the commotion at the city gate.
“Your Majesty, the Zhou Dynasty is bullying people too much; why don’t we just not marry?” Hongyan Jiaojiao spoke angrily, narrating the events just now with great detail, looking as if she wished to go back now and tear apart the two who insulted her Emperor!
“Wow! Such fearless individuals!” Gu Changsheng understood the cause and effect, her eyes lit up imdiately, “It seems so people really don’t wish to see this grand wedding! Interesting! Very interesting! I love excitent! Co co co! Dress majestically and awesoly quickly; I’m going out to restore so pride later!”
“Your Majesty!” Hongyan Jiaojiao looked at her exceptionally excited Emperor, almost crying without tears.
Had her own Emperor actually listened to what she said?
“Hongyan, it’s not saying, but your temper is really too fierce, not gentle at all, you need to learn from your Emperor, !” Gu Changsheng allowed the female officials to dress her, speaking with great enthusiasm, “I originally thought I would marry quietly and sullenly, feeling a bit unwilling. Now that there are one or two ignorant jesters entertaining , you’re scaring them away with your punches and kicks; can you afford that loss?”
Hongyan Jiaojiao: “…”
“Life, you see, is about participation, valued in bouncing, quickly, briskly, let see who’s got such guts to still actively participate at this stage, to bounce so rrily!” Gu Changsheng wiped her hands and rubbed them, her eyes sparkling, mocking weaklings is her favorite!
She’s been living a suffocating life recently, hasn’t moved about for a long while!
Hongyan Jiaojiao seeing this, promptly crawled up and retreated to the side, thinking her own Emperor had sowhat peculiar tastes, even hoping soone would cause trouble; isn’t this masochistic?
“Tsk tsk… Let mourn for those few hopping around. I wonder if their bodies are thick enough, can they withstand Gu Changsheng’s bored whims!” Borjigin Nian expressed her support for Gu Changsheng’s quirky tastes with both hands.
“Indeed, I also find it, a bit more lively is better.” Aside, Dowager Empress Xiao, also dropped her formal deanor, gearing up sleeves watching drama…
