Chapter 115: Yaojin
You are so good, you little bitch. You are so good. Really so good.
She thought she had finally made it and it was time for someone else to take that position.
But a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared.
How could one not hate her? What a nasty little bitch.
No, it's two nasty little bitches.
The other concubines also opened their eyes wide in disbelief. Why? Why should the position of Queen be given to the little bitch of the Song family?
They gave birth to princes for the emperor. Although the princess had no merit, she worked hard and finally became a concubine.
This little bitch was made the queen's concubine as soon as she entered the palace. How could they feel balanced?
Looking at the expressions of these concubines, the emperor was particularly satisfied. Whoever he wanted to be the queen would become the queen.
He wanted to make them understand that as the overlord of the world, his words were final and he would not go back on his word.
The dancers' performance ended, and the envoys presented gifts.
Eunuch Wang shouted in a shrill voice.
"I invite all the envoys to come to the emperor's presence."
The first one was Beiyan, and Eunuch Wang began to report with the gift list.
Beiyan, glass lamp, heavenly silk, phoenix blood jade, Nangong Fan opened the gift boxes one by one.
"I wish His Majesty the Longyuan Kingdom a long and healthy life, and everlasting blessings! Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"Okay, okay, Beiyan is thoughtful."
"Please invite the envoys from the State of Southern Chu to come to the audience," said Xia Linchen, the Crown Prince of Southern Chu, accompanied by the third prince Xia Linxuan, the fifth prince Xia Linhao, and Princess Xia Luoqing.
Xia Linchen bowed and said, "Your Majesty of Longyuan Kingdom, my father asked me to send his regards to you. He deeply regrets that he cannot come this time.
So let me take him to apologize to His Majesty the Longyuan Kingdom."
"Ha ha.
Your father is very thoughtful. I wonder if he is doing well. I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My father is in good health."
"Your Majesty, this is your birthday. May you have this day every year, and may the country of Longyuan be peaceful and prosperous."
"Okay, okay, Nan Chu is thoughtful."
Eunuch Wang continued to read out the gift list, including the night-shining pearl, the Heshi Bi, ambergris, and a black iron sword.
They are Tianqi, Miaojiang, Nanman, Persia, Qingyun, and Loulan in order.
Tianqi glass cup, jade ruyi, purple gold pot, Tianji mirror.
Miaojiang, Yuqing Dan, letter of surrender, and method of cultivating poison.
Southern Barbarians, finest silk, nectar, and iron ore.
Persia, Arabian horses, coral, piano instruments.
Qingyun, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, famous calligraphy and paintings, century-old fine wine, and a set of antiques.
Loulan, a stone statue of Guanyin, longevity peach ornaments, a jade ruyi, and silk.
Everyone was dazzled by the number of gifts and was whispering about it.
The Prince of Persia smiled.
"Your Majesty, the horses we sent as tribute are a bit wild and need to be tamed by your country.
Your country is a big country with many talented people. It must be easy to tame a Ferghana horse.
The Arabian horse is a rare and fine horse that can reproduce indefinitely.
By then, your country will have an endless supply of Ferghana horses, but Your Majesty, I must remind you.
This Arabian horse is very wild, but it is definitely a top-quality Arabian horse."
The emperor showed a beautiful smile.
"Thank you so much for the reminder, Prince of Persia. Don't worry, I will definitely have someone tame this Ferghana horse.
I will definitely not let down the Prince of Persia’s kindness.”
The Prince of Persia nodded and said, "Your Majesty, we all want to see which hero in your country can tame this fine horse."
Although he said this, what he was thinking at this moment, probably only he himself knew.
Humph! This good horse is very wild and has already trampled many of their Persians to death. Otherwise, Longyuan Kingdom would not have been so lucky.
He wanted to see who in Longyuan Kingdom could tame this Ferghana horse.
If they refuse to obey, then Longyuan Kingdom will be unworthy of being a great country.
Suddenly, a young eunuch whispered something into Eunuch Wang's ear.
Eunuch Wang immediately told the news to Emperor Nanyue.
Liuli Country, he had heard that women were respected in Liuli Country.
Women are in power, but since the Crown Princess has come in person, we can't just turn her away.
"Eunuch Wang, Xuan."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The Crown Princess of Liuli Nation is here to see you."
Everyone turned and looked out the door.
I didn’t expect that Liuli Country has also arrived. I heard that Liuli Country rarely contacts the outside world.
But their country has developed very well, and is a leader in both national strength and agriculture.
Moreover, they are all women in power. Every woman in Liuli Kingdom is able to deploy troops and fight in battle.
Everyone saw the leading woman wearing a veil walking in slowly. No, it shouldn't be a woman.
Age mismatch.
Only Dongfang Chen's breathing became particularly rapid.
Nangong Xue also felt it and reached out to gently hold the other person's hand.
"Achen! What's wrong?"
Dongfang Chen stared at the Liuli envoy without blinking.
Dongfang Qing's eyes widened, as if she had seen something terrible.
The leading woman glanced in this direction, then quickly looked away, and a gentle and pleasant voice was heard.
"Happy birthday to His Majesty of Longyuan Kingdom! I, Liuli, have prepared a small gift. I hope Your Majesty will enjoy it. Someone, please present the gift."
When Emperor Nanyue heard this voice, his pupils also trembled.
this…….
Dongfang Chen was now certain that his mother, his mother was still alive.
This was the first time Emperor Nanyue lost his composure and just stared at the Liuli envoy without blinking.
Shangguan Meng snorted in his heart.
The imperial family was indeed the most ruthless. How long had she been away? This person probably had already forgotten her, as the empress changed one after another.
But this time she came back to take her two children with her.
As for the rest, she had already let it go.
It was the eunuch who coughed twice to remind the emperor.
The emperor finally came back to his senses and coughed.
"The envoy from Liuli Country has come a long way. Thank you for your hard work. Please offer me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but there's room next to the War King. I'll just sit next to him."
Everyone was watching the show. Everyone knew that King Zhan had a strange temper, and the envoy from Liuli Kingdom actually wanted to sit next to him.
Your courage is commendable.
The War King immediately stood up and mouthed the word "Mother".
Shangguan Meng smiled, blinked, and gave the other person a look that told him to stay calm.
Dongfang Chen's anxious heart finally calmed down.
Shangguan Meng took a closer look at Nangong Xue. Well, this future daughter-in-law is good and pretty.
Brat, you have a good eye for choosing a princess.
Nangong Xue didn't know that her mother-in-law had arrived. It was the first time she saw Achen lose his composure.
It can’t be..., no, definitely not.
But what the Emperor of Nanyue was thinking was, what is this person's identity? Why did she suddenly become the Crown Princess?
They had lived together for so long, how come he had never heard that his queen had such an identity?
He was sure that this person was his late queen Shangguan Meng.
How did she survive? She was clearly poisoned.
