Watching Him Rise Up

Chen Ming'an was the Imperial Scholar whom Princess Ronghua, Zhu Huaizhen, had set her eyes on in the Golden Imperial Hall.

However, he refused the bestowed marriage, saying, "Your Hi...

Chapter 235 Block

Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen was a princess of a fallen country.

It would be easy for Emperor Ming of Chu to take a princess of a fallen nation as his concubine.

However, Princess Ronghua possesses the treasure of the Great Zhou.

Regardless of whether the Great Zhou treasure exists or not, Nanyan will not let it go.

Then, Chen Ming'an, the prince of Duke Dingguo of Southern Yan, and Lou Li, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard of Southern Yan, both wanted to stop Zhu Huaizhen from becoming the virtuous concubine of Emperor Ming of Chu, Zhao De.

There are only two ways to block, one direct and one indirect.

Zhu Huaizhen did not expect that Chen Mingan would choose to be direct.

When Emperor Chu Ming came to visit with the imperial edict and the box, Chen Ming'an was already standing next to Zhu Huaizhen.

"Emperor Nanchu, have you forgotten that Zhenzhen is my concubine?" Chen Mingan said coldly.

At this time, Emperor Chu Ming opened the box, and found it was filled with a dazzling array of jewelry boxes.

There are copper gilt enamel jewelry boxes inlaid with pearls and turquoise, gilt enamel jewelry boxes inlaid with garnets, jewelry boxes inlaid with gemstones and figures, pavilion-shaped silver wire jewelry boxes, jewelry boxes inlaid with white jade and gemstones, blue-burned silver jewelry boxes inlaid with jade, double-layer wood-carved jewelry boxes inlaid with white jade, wood-inlaid copper-based enamel figure jewelry boxes, rosewood inlaid jade treasure ship jewelry boxes, jewelry boxes shaped like sedan chairs, etc., so luxurious that people can't take their eyes off.

Zhu Huaizhen looked for a long time until Chen Mingan pinched her arm lightly, and then she looked away.

"Prince Chen, what can you give her? Countless wealth and splendor, or a position above everyone else?" Emperor Chu Ming put his hands behind his back, shook his head and laughed, his attitude arrogant.

After saying this, Chen Mingan pursed his lips and thought about what to say.

It seemed that he really didn't treat Zhenzhen well enough. He never cooked for Zhenzhen, never bought her decent jewelry, and never showed his true heart to Zhenzhen.

"Don't worry about being abandoned." Zhu Huaizhen yawned repeatedly.

She thought Chen Mingan could be very direct, but he paused.

Alas, if it were Princess Zhao Lian'er of Xincheng, she would have said a lot of righteous words long ago.

"You guys chat slowly, I'm going to take a nap. It's too early to get up." Zhu Huaizhen yawned, looking a little tired.

Well, luckily she got up early and planned to watch the show.

As a result, such a boring plot makes people sleepy.

After Chen Mingan left, Lou Li came again.

After not seeing each other for a long time, when Zhu Huaizhen suddenly saw Lou Li's stunningly beautiful face, he couldn't help but hook his arms around Lou Li's neck and gave her a bold and passionate kiss.

Unfortunately, Lou Li remained motionless, seemingly cold-blooded and heartless.

"Zhen'er, don't touch me randomly." Lou Li grabbed Zhu Huaizhen's hand, curled his lips and smiled, as if he was not smiling.

"Are you here empty-handed?" Zhu Huaizhen asked.

"Copper oysters, Yangtze River knife fish, gooseneck barnacles, blue lobster, peacock abalone, bluefin tuna, wild yellow croaker, diamond caviar, yellow croaker, Yangtze River shad." Lou Li smiled coldly.

After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen was overjoyed.

Each one is a precious seafood.

For example, gooseneck barnacles often grow in the crevices of reefs in turbulent currents, making the process of harvesting them extremely dangerous, even requiring one to risk their life. However, gooseneck barnacles have tender meat and make delicious soup.

"Zhen'er, what does Emperor Chu Ming need?" Lou Li asked.

Lou Li believed that Zhu Huaizhen was patient enough to fight with Emperor Chu Ming just to test his true abilities.

"Money." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.

"Money?" Lou Li frowned, as if thinking about something.

"The hairpins, hairpins, jade, jewelry boxes, etc. sent by Emperor Chu Ming are all made of top-quality materials and exquisitely crafted, but they lack historical background," Zhu Huaizhen explained.

To put it bluntly, it's not noble enough.
