Chapter 191 The King of Nanhai Wants to Adopt a Daughter
"good!"
The King of Nanhai shouted happily, "The palace was able to obtain the Yuheng Salt Mine today thanks to this great contributor."
He pointed at Xie Yanyan and said loudly, "Miss Xie is a wise and bright girl, a lotus seed with radiant light. This king likes her very much and is willing to take her in as his adopted daughter."
The audience around were all shocked: "Ah, it's a girl?"
“That’s amazing!”
"Isn't it said that Princess Xiyue is a genius in salt making? I think Miss Xie is much better than her."
"No wonder the Nanhai Palace didn't invite Princess Xiyue."
Princess Xiyue's face turned blue and red.
Just as he was about to leave angrily, he suddenly saw Qingshan walking towards him with a tall man.
The man was dignified and handsome, with a calm demeanor and an indifference to everything.
I had heard that the King of Song was a martial arts master and a hero, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome.
What's more, he is the ruler of a country. Princess Xiyue feels that it is a great honor to marry such a man.
Ah, why did he come in person?
Are you here to see me?
Princess Xiyue immediately realized that this was the King of Song State, and she shyly turned around and ran towards Prince Mai.
He said anxiously: "Brother, the King of Song is here!"
The Prince of Nanzhong also saw Qingshan and Chu Xiwang, and immediately went up to greet Chu Xiwang. The King of Nanzhong dominated the southwest, but he was still far behind the ruler of a country.
Moreover, my father said that the King of Song had an extraordinary origin, and Song had won almost all the battles. It was hard to say how large the territory of Song would be in the future.
He said apologetically: "My younger sister and I are not as skilled as others. We failed to live up to your majesty's trust and failed to obtain the Yuheng Salt Mine."
Chu Xiwang said politely: "It's not your fault. She is too smart."
He gestured in the direction of Xie Yanyan.
Princess Xiyue and Prince Mai suddenly felt even more embarrassed.
Prince Mai asked, "Your Majesty also knows Xie Yanyan?"
Chu Xiwang nodded: "We are friends."
Friend? Princess Xiyue's excitement disappeared completely. The King of Song State always used "I" when talking about Xie Yanyan, and even said that he was a friend!
Who can be friends with the ruler of a country?
Chu Xiwang said to Princess Xiyue: "I will ask Qingshan to send a small gift to your house to thank you for your help."
Without staying any longer, he went straight to Xie Yanyan.
It just so happened that the King of Nanhai wanted to adopt Xie Yanyan as his adopted daughter.
He stopped and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
[The King of the South Sea is attracted by her talent and is recruiting her as his disciple]
[Once she becomes the adopted daughter of the King of the South Sea, anyone who wants to ask her for help must report to her adoptive father]
Xu Wenrong did not expect that the King of Nanhai would suddenly adopt Xie Yanyan as his adopted daughter. He suddenly had an idea.
[He is attracted by my sister's talent and wants to give the King of Nanhai another adopted daughter to form an alliance? ]
The King of Nanhai did not see any expression on Xie Yanyan's face, but he still said excitedly: "Miss Xie not only helped the palace seize the Yuheng Salt Mine, but also saved the life of Princess Changping. This king wants to adopt her as his adopted daughter and treat her the same as Princess Changping."
Xu Pang immediately said loudly: "Congratulations to Miss Xie, congratulations to the Second Miss of the Nanhai Palace."
Zhou Tu and others expressed their congratulations.
The people from the Nanhai Palace and the surrounding common people all congratulated loudly. The King of Nanhai also took out a plaque and said that it was a jade plaque of the Nanhai Palace, which represented the Nanhai Palace. Princess Changping Zhou Tangtang and Crown Prince Zhou Shaoyu each had one, but the illegitimate sons and daughters did not have one.
Zhou Tu immediately understood the prince's kindness to Xie Yanyan, and said to Xie Yanyan excitedly: "Miss Xie, only legitimate sons and daughters have jade tokens, and other children in the palace do not have them. Congratulations, Miss Xie, take it quickly!"
Xu Pang also urged excitedly: "Second Miss, please go next!"
Xie Yanyan looked at the people around him. This was an opportunity to become rich and prosperous, and most people would never refuse it.
Especially since she was a criminal, if she became the adopted daughter of the King of Nanhai, and the King of Nanhai wrote to the court, she would definitely be acquitted.
However, Xie Yanyan is not an ordinary person!
"Thank you, Prince Nanhai, for your kindness! I am not talented enough to deceive you, Your Highness. Now I am still a criminal, unworthy of being your adopted daughter."
"Besides, I have both parents, and I dare not acknowledge the prince as my father. It would go against moral principles and make my father sad."
She said to the King of Nanhai in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Your Highness, now that you have acquired the Yuheng Salt Mine, please reward Prince Zhou well. After all, it was he who invited me here."
"I have adopted you as my adopted daughter, which will not affect your filial piety. I will also treat your father as a real brother. Jingchen has invited you, which is also a great merit. I will give you an additional reward." The King of Nanhai persuaded with a smile on his face.
"I will report the matter of adopting my godfather to my father and then make the final decision. This is a big matter and I dare not make the decision on my own. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Xie Yanyan said, "If Your Majesty really wants to reward me, how about treating all of us contestants to a good meal?"
What kind of reward is this!
The egg tarts Xie Yanyan distributed overnight yesterday had already exceeded this value.
Reporting to her father for decision was just a way to give people a way out. She didn't dare, she just didn't want to!
Zhou Xiaocheng laughed and said cheerfully, "Well, let's set up a few tables at the Keyue Inn to celebrate."
Everyone around him thought Xie Yanyan was stupid. With such a good path to wealth and glory in front of him, he chose to have a full meal. How stupid.
Some people also admired that even if the parents were ordinary people, they would not be willing to recognize the powerful as their father. Adoptive daughters should be like this, filial!
Only Xie Yanyan heard Zhou Xiaocheng's thoughts.
[It’s a pity that she refused]
[If Jingchen is obsessed with her, marrying her as his princess and succeeding the King of Nanhai would be a stain]
Xie Yanyan leaned against the carriage, put his hands in his pockets, took out a lollipop from the space, and put it in his mouth.
With cold eyes, he watched Zhou Tu go on stage and take over the large official script characters written by Chairman Qiu: Yuheng Salt Mine.
Xu Wenrong smiled and said, "Sister, you did a great job."
Xie Yanyan said: "I also think I did a good job, cousin, shall we go back today?"
"Take a rest for a day or two. I'll book a room for you at the inn so you can have a good sleep." Xu Wenrong said with a smile, "I'll take the basket of refined salt you made today. We won't have to buy more when we return to Boluo County."
As they were talking, they saw Chu Xiwang walking towards them with big strides.
"Miss Xie, are you free now? Can we get together again?"
"Next time, I'm tired." Xie Yanyan was in a bad mood, "I'm in Boluo County and haven't settled down yet. I'll make paper for you when I'm settled."
Chu Xiwang said: "I don't want paper, I have something to tell you."
"Then let's find a place to talk about it now." Chu Xiwang said this to her, it must be a very important matter.
Xie Yanyan looked at Xu Wenrong, and Chu Xiwang was generous: "Let's go together."
Xie Yanyan greeted the King of Nanhai and said that he had something to discuss with a friend, so he left first and would try to come back for the dinner party.
Qingshan rushed over a carriage and asked Xie Yanyan to get on it. They went to Wanghai Pavilion as usual, but this time they went to the top floor, and the store was closed.
Qingshan, Qingjin and Qingxiu were all guarding downstairs. Xie Yanyan scanned the area and found that there were dozens of people hiding in the dark in the quiet Wanghai Pavilion.
"Miss Xie, I am now the ruler of Song State." Chu Xiwang went straight to the point, "Song State was just established last month."
