The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

After breakfast, Zixuan called all of his more than 200 children over.

She pointed at the pestle and mortar and ordered her children, "Children, all of you kneel down and pay homage to the great King Jinggong Chuju!"

When the princes and princesses heard this, they all looked at Chuju in surprise, thinking, is he just such a little brat?

Mother actually asked us to pay our respects to him? Everyone stood there in a daze, no one moving.

Seeing that no one was willing to kneel, Zixuan coughed lightly and said, "Why, you won't even listen to your mother's words?"

Seeing his mother about to get angry, Zixu quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I, Zixu, pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!"

Zi Ri Yue Zi Jin Zi Ye saw that his elder brother had bowed, and they also bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"

When the younger brothers and sisters behind them saw that their older brothers and sisters had bowed, they also followed their example and bowed.

Zixuan added, "From now on, Chujiu will not only be the great king."

"It's still your uncle. Come, kneel down and pay your respects to your uncle."

Uncle…uncle? What does that have to do with that? How did this little brat suddenly become an uncle?

Ziyue asked, confused, "Mother, where did you get this idea about my uncle?"

Zixuan glanced at his sons and said, "Kids, it's because Chuju's elder brother, Jiang Guang, is mother's sworn brother."

"Yesterday, Duke Jing also honored Mother as his elder sister, so he is naturally your uncle."

"Oh! I see. Well, nephew meets uncle!"

After Zi Yue finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Duke Jing. Seeing this, everyone also kowtowed.

When King Jing saw so many people kneeling and kowtowing to him, it was as if he was in the court.

He coughed lightly, quickly put on his posture, and said seriously, "Nephews, please stand up!"

Zixuan looked at his cute appearance and almost laughed out loud.

Zijin stood up and asked Duke Jing, "Um, Uncle Chujiu."

"Don't they say that when a younger generation meets an elder, the elder should give the younger generation a gift?"

"Uncle Chuju, where's the gift? Bring it to me."

Duke Jing looked at Zixuan in confusion: "Sister Xuan, what is this meeting gift?"

Zixuan looked at Chuju's serious expression and smiled: "Brother Chu, a meeting gift is a gift from an elder to a younger one."

"Oh, then Sister Xuan, what gifts should I give to my nephews?"

Zixuan wanted to tease him, so he said, "Anything is fine."

"For example, there are many kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, jade pendants, etc., which can all be used as gifts."

Chuju nodded: "Yes, Sister Xuan, I understand."

After saying that, he took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Zijin.

"Niece, here, this jade pendant is a gift from your uncle."

Zi Jin quickly took it and looked it over carefully.

This jade pendant is exquisitely carved, glossy, smooth and rich, and is a rare and fine mutton-fat jade.

He immediately kissed the jade pendant twice with joy, then bowed to Duke Jing and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chujiu."

Zixuan found it a little funny to hear his daughter addressing Duke Jing, as if she was telling a tongue twister.

Ziyue also stepped forward, holding out her hand with sparkling eyes: "Uncle Chuju, where's mine?"

Oh! Duke Jing felt around and saw a golden necklace around his neck. He quickly took it off and handed it to him.

"Nephew, this collar is made of gold. It's for you!"

Zi Yue was delighted and took it to look at it. She saw that the golden collar was carved with exquisite patterns and was very beautiful.

He put the collar into his mouth again and bit it with his teeth. Yes, it was pure gold.

He happily bowed to Duke Jing and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chu!"

Ziyu also came over and stretched out his hand to ask for it: "Uncle, there is still me!"

Oh, Chuju looked at himself again and saw a gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones on his wrist.

He immediately took it off and handed it to her: "Niece, this is a gift from your uncle!"

Zi Yu took it and looked at it carefully, and saw that the gold bracelet was inlaid with seven gemstones of different colors.

The gem is crystal clear and rich in color, very beautiful, and I immediately feel happy.

He quickly bowed to Duke Jing and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chu, for the gift!"

When the other princes and princesses saw that their brothers and sisters had received gifts, they all came over and surrounded the pestle and mortar in the middle.

She stretched out her hands and asked in a chattering voice: "Uncle Chu, what about us? We also want gifts..."

Immediately, Duke Jing was overwhelmed by more than 200 people, and Zixuan was squeezed out from beside Chuju.

She immediately scolded him: "Oh, you little money-grubbers are stepping on my feet!"

Chuju had never seen such a scene before, and the steadiness he showed just now was all forced.

He raised his head and looked at these nephews who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers in panic, and touched his body.

But apart from clothes and shoes, he had nothing valuable on him.

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, his face flushed and his neck thick. He felt helpless for a moment and was so scared that he burst into tears.

While crying, she shouted: "I have no more gifts, wow..."

"What should I do? Wow... Sister Xuan, save me! Wow wow wow..."

Zixuan was squeezed out and just stood firm when she heard Chuju crying, and she was startled.

These wolf cubs! Pah! How could I use this metaphor?

They were wolf cubs, so wouldn't that make me a she-wolf? It seemed I had chosen the wrong word.

She shouted, "Stop it! Shut up!"

"Look at what you all look like! You actually scared your uncle to tears just to ask for a gift!"

Zixu also said loudly: "Brothers and sisters, stop making trouble. Uncle is still young and can't stand being scared. Let's go back first!"

At this time, Zi Jin, Zi Yue and Zi Yu held up the gifts and showed them off to their younger brothers and sisters, raising their eyebrows proudly.

What I mean is, what do you think? You see, we are more capable than others and got the gift first, huh!

When the princes and princesses saw their older brothers and sisters showing off like this, they immediately became overwhelmed with jealousy.

They looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Grab!"

When the three of them saw this, they thought, "Oh no, let's run away quickly."

So they ran out in a flash, and their younger brothers and sisters followed closely behind them like a swarm of bees.

Zixuan looked at their backs and sighed, "Alas, I spoiled them all!"

When she saw that all the children had run away, she hurried to the pestle and mortar and picked him up.

She wiped his tears and said, "Don't cry, brother. If you don't have any gifts, I won't give them to you."

"Or you can wait until you have something later and give it to me. You need to use your brain to think instead of crying, understand?"

"Men don't shed tears easily, and you are the king. You can't cry easily. If you do, your ministers will look down on you."

Chuju immediately stopped crying and nodded as if he understood.

"Yes! Sister Xuan, I will listen to you from now on."

At this time, the queen heard the noise and walked in: "Xuan'er, what's going on? It's so chaotic."

Zixuan smiled and said, "It's okay. The kids were just playing around."
