In the evening, at the banquet.
The Holy Emperor happily raised his wine cup to the crowd in congratulations.
"Hahaha, come, come, let me toast you all! Make yourselves at home today, eat however you like!"
"Everyone was happy to see the Bright Moon Star God today, right?"
"Hahaha, I'm happy too."
Second Prince: "..." Father, it seems only our Holy Kingdom is happy, right?
Lin Wanwan was held directly in the Empress's arms and sat above the Golden Palace.
After looking around, she pointed with a smile at Princess Jiarou, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
【bad. 】
[Pay your bet quickly.]
"Win the bet!"
Princess Jiarou's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she saw Lin Wanwan pointing at her.
Today, she summoned the Bright Moon Star God, but not only did she not gain any merit, she was also knocked down by the Bright Moon Star God. Her already injured body was now in even worse shape.
Surprisingly, Lin Wanwan, a mere baby, managed to gain the upper hand.
A summons.
One obeys.
It's obvious who won and who lost.
now.
What is this vixen up to now?
Upon hearing Lin Wanwan's heartfelt words, the Holy Emperor recalled the bet they had made that day.
Smiling, she looked at the Regent and said, "I remember today that the Regent and Princess Jiarou had a bet, didn't they?"
Princess Jiarou trembled upon hearing this.
Damn it, he still remembers.
The regent gave him a warm look, as if to say, "You've finally remembered."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Holy Emperor immediately sat up straight:
"Minister of Revenue, how much silver did we give to Xuan Yue Kingdom back then?"
The Minister of Revenue stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there were three rounds of betting, totaling three million taels of gold and nine million taels of silver."
Princess Jiarou immediately retorted, "How could there be so many?"
The Minister of Revenue straightened his back and said, "Princess Jiarou, each time you gambled with a million taels of gold and three million taels of silver. You've done this three times in total. I'm not so senile as to be confused."
"Back then, you even said that our Holy Kingdom couldn't afford such a small amount of silver?"
The Regent added, "Princess Jiarou said that if we lose, we will receive an additional million taels of gold. So, in total, it will be four million taels of gold and nine million taels of silver."
"Princess Jiarou, please honor the bet in person!!"
Princess Jiarou sat in her wheelchair, her palms almost crushing the wood.
"Regent, the Moon Goddess was summoned by me today, so how did you become the victors?"
Lin Wanwan said in a childish voice, "You... she gets numb when she hears you?"
Princess Jiarou: "..." Will I get beaten if I listen to you?
Yun Aoguo: "..." The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
"In short, this princess has not lost!"
Yao Qianshu immediately stood up from his seat and pointed at Princess Jiarou, saying:
“Ugly woman, the Master said that one must keep one’s word. If one does not keep one’s word, the gods will punish you, and then it won’t just be a matter for you alone.”
"The Moon Goddess is also here today. If you feel you haven't lost, why don't you invite the Moon Goddess out again?"
The Seventh Prince said, "That's right, I think it's obvious that you don't want to return the money to us."
"Are the people of your Xuan Yue Kingdom really that bad?"
"You lost the bet, and now you want to take our money?"
Lin Chang'an secretly grabbed a plate of pastries and poured them into his sleeve.
"That's right, you have character flaws!"
"You—" Princess Jiarou was about to get angry when she saw a group of children pointing at her and cursing her, but Yuwen Mi pulled her back.
“Princess, why are you arguing with a child? We are now in the Holy Kingdom. If we tarnish the royal family’s reputation, the king will be furious. You cannot break the bet.”
“Yuwen Mi, this is four hundred taels of gold and nine hundred taels of silver!” Princess Jiarou’s heart was bleeding.
If her father knew how much she had lost, he would be furious.
and……
That bet from back then...
"Hmph, it's just four million taels of gold and nine million taels of silver. This princess isn't so poor that she can't afford it."
When the Holy Emperor saw that she had accepted it, he couldn't help but smile.
Okay, okay.
The national treasury has become much fuller.
The Regent's cold gaze once again settled on Princess Jiarou's veil, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What...what else?"
"Princess Jiarou doesn't remember?" The Regent cleared his throat. "Burn incense, shout 'You're a dog' three times, and then kneel before your brother according to the rituals of the Holy Kingdom!"
Princess Jiarou was furious upon hearing this.
"Regent, don't push your luck!"
"Princess Jiarou, you must accept the consequences of your bet!" The Regent's voice rose slightly.
"If Princess Jiarou does not acknowledge it, I do not mind. I will write a letter to ask the King of Xuan Yue Kingdom where your country's integrity is."
"With envoys from various countries all here, does Princess Jiarou want Xuan Yue Kingdom to be despised by everyone in the Nine Provinces?"
“You—” Princess Jiarou’s anger was building up inside her.
I never expected him to be so heartless. I am a princess of a country, and he really doesn't know how to cherish women at all!
Murong Nanxing teased, "Princess Jiarou, I think you'd better behave yourself."
"The Regent is the commander-in-chief of the Holy Kingdom, and your bet is quite extreme. If you win this time, I suppose you'll take him away by any means necessary, right?"
Dongfang Qinglie glanced at him and said indifferently, "That's right, once you've placed a bet, you have to keep it."
"With the pretext of divine summons, how could Princess Jiarou dare to refuse?"
"Does Princess Jiarou not fear that the gods will abandon your Xuan Yue Kingdom from now on?"
The last sentence struck Princess Jiarou's heart like a hammer blow, causing her heart to tremble violently.
