Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Seeing that Emperor Jingzhao and his officials were satisfied, the envoys from various countries finally showed relieved smiles.

Taking advantage of Emperor Jingzhao's good mood, the envoy from Dongling immediately presented two beauties.

Moreover, the types are completely different.

One of the beauties wore a fiery red silk dress, its flowing hem resembling a burning flame.

The fabric shimmered slightly under the light, as if countless tiny gemstones were inlaid within it.

She was tall and graceful, with every curve perfectly proportioned, like a meticulously sculpted work of art.

Her face was extremely beautiful, with eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, and the slightly upturned ends of her eyebrows carried a touch of unruly charm.

Her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, shimmering and sparkling, yet seemingly holding endless allure.

Her eyes were shaped like peach blossoms, with slightly upturned corners. When she blinked, a myriad of charms flowed between them.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, adding a touch of mysterious charm to her eyes.

Her high nose bridge made her face more three-dimensional, and her lips were like ripe cherries, bright and juicy.

Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, so fair it seemed like it could be broken with a touch. Against the backdrop of her red dress, it appeared even more radiant and beautiful.

Her every move was alluring; as she moved with light steps, her waist swayed, as graceful as a willow in the wind.

Her eyes were incredibly alluring, as if they could steal one's soul.

Another beauty wore a white gauze dress, the soft fabric surrounding her body like clouds.

Her face was like a delicate flower, her eyebrows like a crescent moon, and when she frowned slightly, she carried endless sorrow.

Her eyes were like a clear spring, crystal clear, yet seemingly filled with glistening tears.

The eyes were almond-shaped, with long eyelashes that drooped slightly, casting a faint shadow under the eyelids.

Her nose was small and delicate, her lips were as tender as flower petals, and her skin was as smooth and warm as white jade, as if it would break at the slightest touch.

Against the backdrop of her white tulle dress, she appeared even more delicate and charming, making one want to protect her.

Lingyan really deserves a thumbs up for Dongling.

These two beauties, one a seductive and wicked woman, the other a pitiful and innocent one, perfectly matched Emperor Jingzhao's aesthetic preferences.

They have such good taste! Is it just a coincidence?

They knew exactly what Emperor Jingzhao liked, which is why they made the special choice.

At this moment, not only Emperor Jingzhao's gaze was fixed on them, but many men in the hall also looked at the two of them with very intense eyes.

So, unsurprisingly, these two beauties were naturally added to the imperial harem.

Moreover, they were all promoted to the rank of concubine.

This shows that Emperor Jingzhao was very satisfied with these two beauties.

The envoys from Dongling were also very pleased and relieved upon seeing this.

They felt that their mission was almost successfully completed.

All that's left is to sign the alliance agreement and then you can retire gracefully.

So at that moment, they were the first to relax.

The envoy from the Northern Li became uneasy and nervous.

Because at this point they also decided to offer up a beautiful woman, they didn't know if Emperor Jingzhao would like her.

Therefore, when the beauties presented by the Northern Li envoy stepped into the hall, the entire hall seemed to be infused with a unique vitality.

A dozen or so stunningly beautiful women, dressed in various gorgeous gowns, gracefully entered the main hall like a hundred flowers blooming in spring.

Among them, some are charming and beautiful, some are pure and lovely, some are dignified and elegant, and some are gentle and graceful.

Their figures are either tall or petite, graceful or slender, but all of them have beautiful curves that are pleasing to the eye.

They then curtsied in unison, their movements elegant and synchronized, as if they had rehearsed countless times.

They lowered their heads slightly, revealing their slender necks, their posture as elegant as swans.

Their eyes held a range of emotions, from expectation and shyness to confidence and tenderness.

The entire hall became even more magnificent and colorful because of their arrival, like a beautiful painting.

Upon seeing this, Lingyan couldn't help but exclaim: Good heavens! Bei Li is trying to win by sheer numbers!

She counted them and found there were a total of sixteen beauties.

And each one of them is absolutely gorgeous.

Didn't you see Emperor Jingzhao's eyes were already glued to him?

Moreover, she was certain that Emperor Jingzhao would want to add every one of these beauties to his harem.

However, these beauties are not like those from Dongling; they were presented by Beili.

The Prince of Dongling was a law-abiding person who didn't like to cause trouble.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next emperor will be the fifth prince who visited Da Zhao last time.

This also indicates a personality that dislikes causing trouble and prefers stability.

Therefore, she felt that Dongling and Dazhao would not go to war.

Then those two beauties from Dongling could stay peacefully in the harem.

Given the Northern King's constant desire to cause trouble, the Great Zhao will definitely go to war with them again in the future.

Especially since the Northern King is not even thirty yet, he still has a lot of energy to spare!

If the two countries go to war, these women will be the first to be sacrificed as a flag offering.

Why must these innocent and pitiful women be sacrificed in the war between Bei Li and Da Zhao?

Therefore, she must stop Emperor Jingzhao right now.

So she stood up and looked at the dozen or so beauties, smiling and praising them, "Father, these beauties are truly beautiful. King Bei Li has really put in a lot of effort to gather them all at once. But considering how valuable these beauties are, could they be used to exchange for a few cities? Sixteen beauties for sixteen cities, what do you think, Father?"

Upon hearing Ling Yan's words, many people in the hall gasped in shock.

What an appetite! You really dare to dream!

King Li of the North probably won't agree, after all, they've already lost so many cities.

Besides, even if these beauties are incredibly beautiful, they shouldn't be worth exchanging over a dozen cities for.

But Lingyan thought that the King of Beili would agree!

After all, he really didn't dare to confront Da Zhao head-on right now, so he could only admit defeat and compromise.

Otherwise, just wait for your country to be destroyed!

Sixteen cities are a lot, but she was just giving Emperor Jingzhao an idea, making him think that beauties could also be used to exchange for cities!

As for how many cities to exchange, we can discuss that later!

It doesn't necessarily have to be sixteen seats!

As expected, Emperor Jingzhao looked as if he had just had his eyes opened.

So this is still possible?

I've really learned something!

In an instant, he lost interest in those beauties.

He immediately turned his gaze back to the envoys from the Northern Li.

Lingyan knew this would happen.

After all, in Emperor Jingzhao's heart, the country was more important than anything else.

Since he could allow women to join the army, he could also make an exception and let her enter the court to participate in politics because of her talent.

Back then, they were not threatened by the eleventh prince.

He would rather watch his concubines and children be treated this way and almost sacrificed than agree to grant the Eleventh Prince's wish.

All of this demonstrates just how much he values ​​this country.

So compared to the throne, he would certainly give up a dozen or so beauties without hesitation.

After all, that was a real city!

A city signifies land, resources, and population; it is a tangible symbol of wealth and power.
