The prince of love, the wealth has come to me
Chapter 119: Kowtow and admit your mistakes. What are you waiting for?
The envoy from the Yue Kingdom had beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and he knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I was also deceived."
"The emperor of our dynasty spent a huge sum of money to catch this strange beast. In order to bring good luck to the emperor, several animal trainers were specially hired to train it."
"However, the beast was stubborn and several trainers were helpless."
"As for the iron nail in its paw, we really don't know. It might be the work of some animal trainer. When I return, I will torture it severely and send it to the Kingdom of Li for the Emperor to deal with."
"Li Kingdom is a vast country with rich resources and outstanding people. Princess Zhan is a heroine and saw through the problem at a glance. If not, my Yue Kingdom would be guilty."
The envoy from the Yue Kingdom said that although they had no merits, they had worked hard and they denied all the mistakes without leaving any trace. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to flatter Ling Yueqing.
Ling Yueqing was speechless. The blame was shifted to the animal trainer who was thousands of miles away and had to take it.
If his expression had not betrayed him the first time she said there was something in the white deer's paw, she might have believed it.
In line with the principle of not harming the innocent, Ling Yueqing said, "Your Majesty, perhaps the beast stepped on it accidentally. Today, on this festive day when all the nations are gathered together, please spare the life of the "Moon Nation Beast Tamer."
When Ling Yueqing talked about animal tamers, she looked at the envoy from the Moon Kingdom and emphasized her tone.
Emperor Qianyang couldn't be too harsh in front of so many countries. After all, there was no evidence to show that the iron nail was placed there intentionally.
"Okay, get up. I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask."
"My dear ministers, do you have any rare treasures to share with me?" The process has been the same in previous years, and Emperor Qianyang knows how to go through the process himself.
There is no need for ceremonial officials at all.
Before anyone could speak, Ling Yueqing spoke quietly, "Your Majesty, I forgot one thing."
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
"Just now someone seemed to have said that if I could really speak the language of animals and touch the strange beasts, he would kowtow to me and admit his mistake on the spot. I think I remembered it correctly~"
Everyone present looked at Jiang Wanrou, who was hiding aside to reduce her presence.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Jiang Wanrou immediately put on the look of a weak little white flower.
"Princess, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I just haven't seen anyone do this before, so I'm a little surprised. Please forgive me, Princess."
Most of the ministers immediately sided with Jiang Wanrou. It was not her fault. They did not believe it just now, let alone such a weak woman.
Ling Yueqing was not used to this. She had just been sarcastic and provocative, and now she was playing the weak girl game with her? What had she been doing before?
"I'm old and my memory is not good. How come I remember that Miss Jiang Er didn't say that just now? It seemed that she said something about kowtow and admit her fault? Is there any kind-hearted person who can help me recall it?"
Xiao Mingchen looked righteous and said, "Princess, you have a good memory. If you are not mistaken, Second Miss Jiang did say that just now."
Looking at Ling Yueqing and his wife singing the same tune, Jiang Wanrou almost tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces, with a look of aggrievedness on her face and tears in her eyes.
"Princess, do you really have to be so aggressive?"
There was only one sentence in Ling Yueqing's mind, "It's really Wu Yu's mother who opened the door for Wu Yu, Wu Yu is home..."
She was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. People with authority were just sitting in high places.
So Ling Yueqing turned around and said to Emperor Qianyang, "Does the emperor still remember this?"
"Of course I remember." Emperor Qianyang's face became a little more serious, and he said to Jiang Wanrou, "Second Miss Jiang, I am a witness to this matter. Please fulfill your promise immediately. Do you still want to deceive me?"
The words "deceiving the king" made Jiang Wanrou stand there in a daze, unable to react for a while.
"You unfilial daughter, why don't you kowtow to the princess and admit your mistakes? Have you thrown the rules I taught you to the dogs?"
Censor Jiang hurried over and kicked Jiang Wanrou in the knee.
The Jiang family cannot afford the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Jiang Wanrou fell forward due to inertia, and the burning pain in her palms brought her back to her senses.
He kowtowed to Ling Yueqing in fear and said, "Princess, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you and underestimated you."
Ling Yueqing snorted coldly, ignored her, and turned back to sit next to Xiao Mingchen.
The emperor didn't say anything else and no one asked her to stand up. She could only kneel there and accept the sympathetic or mocking looks from everyone.
When she lowered her head and covered her eyes, besides grief and anger, there was also hatred and malice that almost solidified into substance.
After that, other countries offered treasures one after another, but they also raised some problems, such as poetry and martial arts competitions, but they were all easily resolved by the ministers.
Until a small coastal country called Liuzhu Kingdom presented several large boxes of pearls and took out a withered yellow plant that was one meter tall.
"Dear Emperor, I am the Prime Minister of Haizhu Country. I came to the Heroes Banquet of Li Country just to seek a plant care expert to save our country's sacred tree."
"We, the Liuzhu Kingdom, specially offer five boxes of pearls and five boxes of colorful shells as a token of respect."
Liuzhu Kingdom is the only country among these countries that has never fought a war with Li Kingdom.
They heard the news that the State of Li was going to hold a banquet for heroes and invite all its vassal states to attend, so they took the initiative to write to say that they wanted to become a vassal state of the State of Li.
Ling Yueqing looked at several exquisite boxes with their lids opened in the hall.
My eyes are shining. Today is truly an eye-opener. These pearls are big and round, each one is full. The most amazing thing is that the size of the surface layer is surprisingly consistent. I just don't know what the ones underneath are like.
Ling Yueqing was still watching when the Queen Mother above spoke up, "I'm afraid we'll have to ask for help from our Li Kingdom's Princess Zhan."
"Princess Zhan also studies plants?"
Ling Yueqing didn't say anything because she didn't hear anything at all. She was thinking in her mind how to get these pearls.
"Qingqing?" She didn't come back to her senses until Xiao Mingchen's voice sounded in her ears?
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Upon seeing this, the envoy of Liuzhu Country hurriedly explained, "Princess Huizhan, this green plant is our country's sacred tree. It has been lush and green for hundreds of years."
"But for some reason, the tree trunks have been cracking and the leaves have been gradually turning yellow. My emperor has asked me to come here to seek a remedy. Does the princess have any idea?"
After the series of events just now, he no longer dared to underestimate Ling Yueqing and spoke very respectfully.
The Queen Mother on the high seat said, "Qing'er, you can take care of a flower as delicate as the Golden Feathered Salvia, so this tree should be no problem for you. The envoy from the Liuzhu Kingdom has come from afar to ask for help, so you should help him."
"Yes, Queen Mother." Ling Yueqing said respectfully.
She didn't say she wouldn't save him, but now she's saying all the nice things, and I still have to do all the hard work. I really want to thank her...
