The most romantic little emperor

Among the civil and military officials and royal relatives and nobles present, there were many who were worried about Wang Yourong and the others, and their worries could not be hidden between their brows. Meanwhile, there were also those who secretly gloated over her misfortune, looking forward to the moment when she would make a fool of herself.

Qin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Prince Nanyuan, are you so sure that my beloved concubine can't crack it?"

"Of course!"

Yelu Lingxiao looked proud and confident as he answered, "This thing was made by me personally. Even I cannot break it in half a cup of tea. They? Humph, how can they do it?"

Qin Hao was stunned when he heard this. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he stared straight at Yelu Lingxiao.

Depend on!

This guy created something himself, but he can’t even quickly restore it?

Then how could this guy think of making this thing?

Yelu Lingxiao looked at Qin Hao's dumbfounded expression and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Is this the emperor of Daxia? You must be dumbfounded now, right? This is a lie, right?

Zhu Qiqi's eyes were as cold as ice. He glanced at Yelu Lingxiao lightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was a hint of teasing in his voice: "King of the South Courtyard, since you claim that even you can't crack this thing in a short time, why don't we make a bet?"

"bet?"

Yelu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "This imperial concubine is quite courageous. So, how do you want to bet?"

Seeing this, Zhu Gui, the Duke of Zhu, was secretly anxious and quickly stopped them, saying, "Qiqi, no nonsense is allowed in the hall!"

He was afraid that his daughter would get into trouble and ruin things at this critical moment, but he didn't expect that his suppression gave Yelu Lingxiao the capital to continue to be arrogant.

"Wait!"

Yelu Lingxiao raised his hand to stop Zhu Gui's actions, turned his eyes to Qin Hao, and said in a loud voice: "Emperor of Daxia, I heard that there is a saying in your dynasty, 'The king does not joke'. Since this lady is the imperial concubine, what she said publicly here cannot be easily taken back, right?"

Qin Hao smiled slightly and said calmly: "King Nanyuan has a very deep understanding of our dynasty. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into this meeting. You are right. There is indeed a saying in our dynasty that 'the king never jokes'."

He paused, and then continued, "However, I have another saying, 'A thousand gold coins cannot buy my concubine's smile.' As long as my woman is happy, no matter what the price, it is worth it."

Upon hearing this, many ministers present showed worried expressions and stepped forward to persuade Qin Hao.

However, Qin Hao raised his hand to signal them to be patient. There was a smile in his eyes, as if he made this seemingly ridiculous decision just to win the beauty's smile.

Seeing this, Yelu Lingxiao became even more proud, and the smile on his face became brighter, as if he had already seen victory in sight.

He turned to Zhu Qiqi and said provocatively: "My Lady, tell me how you want to gamble!"

"Simple!"

Zhu Qiqi smiled softly and said, "If my sister Rong can't crack this thing within half a cup of tea, you don't have to pay respect to His Majesty today! In addition, I will ask His Majesty to agree to your request to borrow grain."

Zhu Qiqi smiled lightly, looking calm, as if she had already figured it out. She said softly, "If my sister Rong can't crack this thing within half a cup of tea, you don't have to pay respect to His Majesty today! Moreover, I will also ask His Majesty to agree to your request to borrow grain, no joke."

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"it is good!"

Yelu Lingxiao laughed out loud, his face full of disdain and ridicule, as if he was looking at a clown who didn't know his own limitations. He bowed to Zhu Qiqi and thanked her, "Thank you so much for your generosity, my imperial concubine."

"King of the South Courtyard, don't be so quick to thank me!"

Zhu Qiqi shook her head slightly and smiled faintly, "If my sister Rong can solve this problem within half a cup of tea, you must not only kneel down and worship His Majesty according to the etiquette of our dynasty, but also return the land of Yingzhou and Mozhou to our dynasty."

Return the land?

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The smile on Yelu Lingxiao's face froze instantly, and the cold light in his eyes was like a knife, stabbing at Zhu Qiqi fiercely.

The return of land is a matter of great importance, involving the territorial dispute between the two countries and national dignity.

Although Yelu Lingxiao was the King of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom and held a high position of power, he could not make the decision on such important matters.

Yelu Lingxiao calmed down, shook his head, and decisively refused: "Regarding the ceremony, it can naturally be done according to the wishes of the imperial concubine. However, when it comes to such a major matter as the return of the land, I really cannot make my own decision."

"Didn't you swear so confidently before? Why are you backing down now?" Zhu Qiqi asked with a provocative smile on his face.

Yelu Lingxiao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and shook his head again, "Princess, no matter how confident I am, I cannot bet on the territory of my dynasty!"

"Since you can't decide on returning the land, how about we change the bet to one where you can decide?"

Zhu Qiqi smiled slightly, as if she had expected his reaction. She pointed at Yelu Jin'er, her eyes flashing with cunning, and laughed softly: "I will let her stay in Daxia as my slave, do you dare to bet?"

boom!

As Zhu Qiqi finished speaking, everyone gasped.

Such a huge bet is simply jaw-dropping.

Is Zhu Qiqi crazy?

He took tens of thousands of dan of grain just to exchange for a woman. Even though this woman was of noble status and was a princess of the Liao Kingdom, such an exchange was obviously a disadvantage for Daxia.

Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Hao, only to see him looking indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Many ministers secretly sighed in their hearts that His Majesty was too indulgent towards Zhu Qiqi. It was all Zhu Gui's fault for not educating his daughter well. Now the entire Daxia had to bear the consequences. They would definitely report him to the emperor later.

Yelu Jin'er felt the strange looks from everyone, and she couldn't help but feel flustered. She never thought that she would become the bargaining chip in this gambling game.

An indescribable panic spread in her heart, and she even regretted following her father to Daxia this time.

"Father, I don't want to stay in Daxia." Yelu Jin'er sobbed softly.

Yelu Lingxiao turned a deaf ear to his daughter's pleading words. He frowned, as if weighing the pros and cons. He knew that every word Zhu Qiqi said was deliberately meant to anger him and make him lose his mind. But he also knew that he should not be easily angered and make the wrong decision.
