But no matter how curious they were, no one took a step forward.

Because once they lowered their heads, they would see the ground perfectly reflecting their own images, clearer than a bronze mirror.

After watching for a long time, the court officials might even have some strange illusions.

It seemed that if they took a few more steps forward, they would merge into the ground, along with the reflections of Crystal, Phoenix, Xuannv, etc., and sink into eternal damnation, unable to leave.

The courtiers froze in their places and could not help but whisper among themselves:

"Luxury! I thought the outside was magnificent and luxurious enough, but I didn't expect the inside to be even more shocking. I can't imagine how much it cost."

"Yes. Where did all these Western Region crystals come from? Not only for curtains, but also for floor coverings, and these auspicious murals of dragons and phoenixes. How many crystal diamonds are there on them to make them so shiny? How much money must have been wasted!"

"Is there anyone who knows the goods who can come and calculate how much it will cost?"

"I think this room alone would cost Daxia half a year's tax revenue."

……

Not to mention the whispering courtiers, even the well-informed emperor was shocked for a moment.

The usually lazy queen also opened her eyes and observed the interior decorations of the house attentively.

The prince looked for a while, then turned to look at his sisters, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The third prince's expressionless face revealed his nervousness.

The princesses were all able to remain calm, with faint smiles on their faces.

System: [Hahaha, Ah Ruan, I just like seeing their ignorant looks. Hahaha… We worked so hard to prepare the gifts for so long, and the alchemists repeatedly tested the glass for so long, isn’t it just to see their dumbfounded expressions? So cool!]

Everyone:...

Several court officials who were worried about the national treasury were shouting in their hearts: System, you should have told us earlier that you like to see our shocked expressions. We will perform for you every day in the future. Don't mess with the money!

Yuanruan's chubby face was also filled with smiles: [Hahaha, the sisters' hard work in preparation is worth it. Of course, we also have to thank Tong'er for his technical support. If it weren't for Tong'er, these things wouldn't be so easy to come into the world! Tong'er has worked hard. ]

The system immediately puffed out its chest with pride: [It’s not hard! Hahaha, I can do more in the future. ]

Everyone:! ! !

Still coming?! The national treasury can’t stand the torment!

At this time, the Minister of War was somewhat surprised by the Minister of Revenue's current calm reaction, so he came over and whispered, "Sir, aren't you shocked?"

The Minister of Revenue was still staring at the crystal curtain and nodded subconsciously.

The Minister of War asked again, "Don't you think it's extravagant?"

The Minister of Revenue whispered, "Extravagant."

The Minister of War was surprised and whispered, "I asked you to give the soldiers more money, but you looked so gloomy as if your old man had died. Now that the young imperial master is acting so pretentiously, why aren't you angry?"

The Minister of Revenue with difficulty retracted his gaze, paused, and then lowered his voice and said: "Because the princesses only asked the Shaofu for a total of 10 million yuan. There is no more."

Ten million is a lot of money, but it depends on what you compare it with.

The Minister of War looked at him suspiciously and said, "If I give you 10 million, can you make one for me? No, if I give you 20 million, do you think you can make these things?"

Minister of the Ministry of Finance:...

He shook his head.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard the eldest princess in front of him say, "Father, don't stop. We are still some distance away from our destination."

Everyone:! ! !

what?

Isn’t such a luxurious place the destination? Isn’t it everything?

Prime Minister Wang, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said softly, "Your Majesty. There is a very good saying in the Book of Rites, 'If a country is extravagant, show it frugality. If a country is frugal, show it courtesy.'"

The emperor was silent for a while, then said to the princesses, "Come on! Let me take a good look."

He strode inside.

The court officials in the rear were no longer drunk, and they looked at each other and followed closely.

Prime Minister Wang sighed and took big strides to catch up.
