Everyone present immediately looked at Su Juan, the old emperor, and Bai Ziling.

Yes, Your Majesty, you can't possibly beat someone with a disability, right?

Wu Yuanhou's heart was in his throat. He had heard that the emperor did not allow Su Juan to drink, and even the Xie family man who had drunk with him not long ago was beaten with twenty sticks.

He was really afraid that his grandson would also be punished.

Su Juan smiled, poured a glass of wine, sniffed it lightly, and the aroma of wine lingered, [As expected of the old emperor's birthday, this wine is so fragrant. ]

The old emperor's forehead was throbbing. Who arranged the seat? It's nonsense!

The queen's eyes were full of love. It turned out that the child liked to drink, so she asked someone to collect some and send it to her.

"Your Majesty, it's not a bad thing to love drinking. Why do you need to control her?"

The old emperor was speechless and felt extremely aggrieved. It was he who was being scolded. Don't I have any face?

But it was rare for the Queen to speak to him like this, so the old Emperor could only endure it and let Su Juan drink like this.

Soon, the ministers presented birthday gifts of all kinds of rare treasures. The Zhongshu Ling's mansion presented a picture of mountains and rivers with a good meaning. He immediately ordered people to unfold it for the court officials to appreciate.

What others presented were all rare and precious treasures. The rarer and fresher they were, the more likely the old emperor would like them.

Duke Ping has always been lazy, and the Xie family has never lacked honors and favors, so it is naturally better to keep a low profile on these matters, and a simple jade ruyi will do the trick.

Su Juan smiled, [The Duke is a simple-minded person who doesn't do these fancy things.]

[They are nothing like them. What they offer is not a birthday gift, but a wish for promotion and wealth.]

Duke Ping coughed lightly. After Su Juan's words, he could no longer keep a low profile.

The ministers covered the birthday gifts they had prepared and said angrily: You are simple-minded! You are simple-minded!

It's great that you are noble, but you don't want to get promoted or make money!

What a bunch of fancy talk, what promotion and wealth, this is slander, naked slander!

We are loyal to Your Majesty, you know nothing!

Su Juan drank a little wine and looked at Song Qianhang who was presenting a gift. What he presented was a jade statue of a landscape. Although it was not a precious or novel item, the carving was so exquisite that people could not take their eyes off it.

The old emperor squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time. It was really exquisite and a good thing.

Ping Bohou, who was standing by, stared at it with wide eyes, "Could it be that this was made by old Ding Chenggong himself?"

Song Qianhang nodded, "It was written by Ding Chenggong."

The ministers were shocked. All the world's carving skills were regarded as the best by Ding Chenggong. However, he stopped carving ten years ago and even stopped accepting apprentices. His masterpieces could not be bought even with money.

I really didn't expect that Song Qianhang could actually invite him to come out of retirement!

The old emperor was very pleased and immediately rewarded Song Qianhang. This Song Er was really good and thoughtful.

Song Qianhang received the reward with a normal expression, without much emotion. After kneeling to express his gratitude, he sat back in his seat.

Pingbo Hou looked at him with deep eyes. This Song Er was not as bad as the rumors said in the market. Rumors really could not be believed. He might become a big figure in the future.

Su Juan narrowed her eyes, [Song Qianhang had already made preparations. Even if it was Ding Chenggong, it would take at least two months to carve such a jade statue.]

In her impression, Song Qianhang had never given away any jade statues, let alone one from Ding Chenggong.

It can be seen that many things are no longer on the track she originally knew.

Song Qianfan's hand holding the wine glass was throbbing with veins, his eyes were as cold as ice, extremely cold. How could Song Qianhang invite Ding Chenggong?

Prince Jing was very satisfied with what his youngest son presented. He had never expected that he could do such a great job when entrusted with the task.

While Prince Jing is feeling proud, Prince Han should be worried.

But the King of Han seemed confident. When the birthday gift was presented and the cloth was lifted, the ministers were shocked. Even Su Juan was surprised.

"What is this!?"

“Like coral, but more colorful than coral”

What the King of Han presented was a coral bonsai, with a golden basin as the base and gems piled on top. Each coral was bright red and dazzling, and extremely beautiful. Even Pingbo Hou, who had seen countless rare collections, had never seen such gorgeous corals.

As far as he could remember, he had only heard that the Lu family in Jiangzhou had such a plant, but the entire Lu family had been murdered many years ago, and the whereabouts of the treasure was lost, so he had no chance to see it.

The old emperor stood up and walked to the bonsai to take a closer look, "Wonderful!"

If the jar of water jade presented by Song Qianhang could be described as exquisite, then the item presented by King Han could only be described as shocking.

Seeing the old emperor's reaction, the ministers knew clearly that the gift presented this time was the one that won the emperor's favor the most.

With King Han's bonsai in front, their things are nothing compared to it.

The Minister of Justice smiled proudly, he had carefully selected this item to help His Royal Highness the King of Han win the emperor's heart, and when he ascended the throne one day, he would be the greatest contributor.

No one had expected that the King of Han, who lived in poverty, could find such a treasure.

The old emperor was very pleased and wanted to reward the King of Han handsomely.

The Duke of Ping and the Marquis of Ping both had strange expressions on their faces; the King of Han being favored was definitely not a good thing for them.

At this moment, Su Juan's voice came to my ears.

[What a beautiful coral! If I hadn’t known that this coral had saved dozens of lives, I would have jumped on it to take a closer look.]

The ministers were shocked: Dozens of lives! ?

The old emperor's face suddenly turned ugly and he moved away from the coral bonsai.

King Han’s smile froze on his face. What dozens of lives?

He subconsciously looked at the Minister of Justice not far away, who looked panicked, with his head lowered and sweating profusely.

The Minister of Justice couldn't understand how Su Juan knew about this!

Su Juan glanced at the coral and shook her head repeatedly, [It is a crime to possess a treasure! ]

[What a good family, who did many good deeds, but because they were unwilling to sell this blood coral, they were exterminated. A total of 38 lives were taken, and even a baby who was less than a month old was not spared. How cruel.]

One coral, thirty-eight lives!

At this time, King Han's face had become extremely gloomy. He could never have imagined that what Lou Shiye offered was such a thing!

He killed thirty-eight people. He was so brave!

The emperor looked grim, today was his birthday, but King Han presented him with such a thing. Who was responsible for the thirty-eight deaths?

Pingbo Hou could not guess at this moment, and immediately stepped forward to advise, "Your Majesty, I have seen countless rare things. This coral originally belonged to the Lu family, and the Lu family had long been wiped out. It is an ominous thing!"

Su Juan was surprised, but then she remembered that Pingbo Hou had many collections, so he might know the original owner of the blood coral. It would not be surprising if he knew the story behind the coral.

The emperor was furious and scolded the King of Han. "King of Han, where did you get this thing?!"

King Han looked unhappy and said, "Your Majesty, it was presented to us by our subordinates."

[It's already this late, why don't you just say it directly? Do you still want to protect him? ]

Everyone in the court looked at King Han. Who on earth had presented this? Su Juan was still here. How dare that person present this thing to His Majesty as a birthday gift? He must be tired of living.

Many people were urging Su Juan in their hearts, out of curiosity.

Here she comes, Su Juan comes with her mouth!
