Chapter 38



Prince Hulu motioned his two followers to open the wooden box, and suddenly a telescope was lying inside.

"What is this?"

The emperor asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called a telescope. It can see things very far away."

Prince Hulu explained proudly, but with contempt in his heart.

There are many of these things in their country, and only the Xia country is so unsophisticated that it would treat these things as treasures!

"Is it so magical? Come and see it right now?"

The emperor's curiosity was aroused, and he motioned for it to be presented to him.

The chief eunuch beside the emperor personally went forward to take it and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took it in his hand and looked at it. He wanted to ask what was going on, but then he heard that voice again:

[What's so great about a telescope? Look how proud the prince of Sauna is. A telescope is nothing but a mirror or glass with two opposite sides. Put it into a tube and you can see far away using the principle of light!]

[Your Majesty, please don't show your weakness, or you'll be laughed at. But we are from the Xia Kingdom, and that damn prince is waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. ]

Lin Yuxin watched the emperor's actions and was very worried!

The emperor paused. When did he show his weakness? Nonsense! The emperor calmly put down the things in his hand and spoke calmly:

"Yes, very good, I like it. Thank you very much, Prince Hulu! Please take a seat, Prince."

Prince Hulu was stunned. Why didn't he play by the rules? He had prepared a lot of words to mock the Xia Kingdom.

Prince Hulu now only felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had punched cotton, with no strength.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Prince Hulu thanked the emperor unwillingly, then found a seat and sat down.

"Qiu Jinhuai, the fifth prince of Zhao State, is here to see you!!"

The eunuch's report was heard outside again.

Then came in a man in green clothes, with a delicate appearance, gentle and elegant, and a noble temperament.

"Qiu Jinhuai, the fifth prince of Zhao, pays homage to the Emperor of Xia!"

Qiu Jinhuai performed a ceremony for them.

"Your Highness, please do not be polite. You have come a long way, and you must have worked hard!"

The emperor showed some courtesy and concern.

[Why does it feel like the emperor is being perfunctory and saying the same lines to every envoy? ]

The emperor's mouth twitched and he felt a little guilty. Don't let me know who is talking, I will definitely sew her mouth shut.

The Queen pursed her lips and chuckled. This person is really interesting.

"It's not hard, Your Majesty. This is the state banquet gift from our Zhao Kingdom to Xia Kingdom."

Qiu Jin said modestly, and then asked people to put the things in front for the emperor to see.

I saw that the things in the plate were covered by a piece of cloth. Someone pulled the cloth away and there was a large piece of blood coral in the plate. It was very spectacular and beautiful.

"Okay, I like it very much! The Fifth Prince is very thoughtful."

The emperor had just been depressed, but now he was cured and finally got a gift he liked. However, he was not happy for long before he heard that voice again.

[Your Majesty is so satisfied? Aren't you afraid of traps? This blood coral is indeed big, but there is no blood coral this big in the world. Half of this blood coral is fake and is mixed with a small amount of poison. If you put it in your room for a long time, I guarantee you will leave this world happily! ]

Lin Yuxin touched her chin and looked at the pearl coral with shining eyes. She actually wanted to...the poison inside!

The emperor's face turned pale, and he looked at Shanhu and withdrew his eyes. However, he could not get angry because there was no evidence. Was it just based on that strange voice?

So the emperor could only bear it. He looked at the blood coral and really couldn't be happy at all!

Is there no such thing as a slightly more ordinary gift?

"Fifth Prince, please take a seat!"

The emperor's tone was no longer as happy as before, and he spoke expressionlessly.

Seeing the fifth prince Qiu Jinhuai was stunned, what happened? He was fine just now! Why did he turn his face and ignore me now?

But no matter how Ren Qiujinhuai thought about it, he would never have thought that his gift of blood coral had been exposed.

Qiu Jinhuai sat next to the prince of Sauna Kingdom, and the two greeted each other politely.

"Prince Qu Shubai of Qi State and Princess Chenfu are here to see you!"

The duck's voice begins to ring!

[Here it comes, today’s highlight is here! 】

The emperor was confused. What was the highlight?

But apart from the emperor and the queen, everyone else who could hear what was going on knew what the main event was and were all waiting for the outcome.

"I am the prince of Qi, Qu Shubai, and I have come to see you."

"The Princess of Chenfu County of Qi State, Jun Chenxi, is here to see you."

The two men walked to the front of the hall and began to perform the ceremony. The ceremony of Qi State was similar to that of Xia State, so they did not find it strange.

And Lin Yuxin finally saw the true face of Princess Chenfu.

She is as graceful as an orchid, her eyes are as charming as silk, and her beauty is just like the faint fragrance of flowers. Such a beauty is indeed rare.

After Princess Chenfu paid her respects, she stared straight at Li Xiaochen, her eyes almost tearing!

[This Princess Chenfu really came here for Li Xiaochen. Her eyes are almost tearing, tsk tsk tsk! It's not easy to get rid of this bad peach blossom! But looking at her obsession with Li Xiaochen, she doesn't look like someone who would kill him, right?! ]

The emperor's expression froze. "You killed me? What do you mean? Why don't you explain it clearly?"

Then he looked at the prince and princess of Qi standing in front of him, and suddenly lost his enthusiasm, but still had to go on with a show.

"Your Highness, you have traveled a long way, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard, Your Majesty. This is a gift from our Qi Kingdom to Xia Kingdom. I hope Your Majesty likes it."

Prince Qu Shubai made a few polite remarks and then took out the gifts they had brought this time.

The things they brought to Qi Guoyan this time were packed in giant boxes, and Qu Shubai motioned for everyone to open them.

After the box was opened, there was a small cell surrounded by iron bars. There was a tiger inside. When the tiger saw the sunlight, it immediately became excited, stood up, and started to hit the iron bars.

“Ouch!”

He was yelling while bumping into others, and he looked very frantic.

"What does this mean, Prince?"

Upon seeing this, the emperor's brows turned sharp, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at the prince.

But Prince Qu Shubai didn't mind at all. He smiled and said:

"This is our national treasure, the South China tiger. This tiger is the most docile one selected by our Qi Kingdom. My father said that as long as you in Xia Kingdom can tame this tiger, he can marry Princess Chenfu to him, plus five cities!"

[Oh my god, this reward is a bit poisonous! Princess Chenfu came here just for marriage, and she definitely didn't expect to go back, but giving away five cities is a bit strange, isn't it a trap? ]

[Also, if we tame this tiger, we will have to accept the trap set by these five cities. If we fail to tame it, then the rumor that Xia is worse than Qi will spread to all four countries tomorrow. This is a really cruel move!]

Lin Yuxin looked at Prince Wang and Princess Chenfu standing in the palace with great admiration.

And she saw that even when the first prince said that she would marry into the Xia Kingdom, her eyes never left Li Xiaochen.

The emperor's eyes flickered. He was indeed attracted by the five cities, but when he heard the voice, his mind immediately became clear.

The two countries would not give you five cities for no reason. Even if Princess Chenfu has a high status in Qi, she is not a member of the royal family of Qi after all. This is a bit weird!

But even if this is a trap, I have no choice but to jump into it now! Qiguo is really great!!
