Chapter 98, Platform 366
Just then, a deep yet magnetic voice suddenly rang out:
"It's alright. I quite like it when Yao'er calls me that. I hope my father-in-law and mother-in-law won't blame her."
The speaker was none other than the fearsome War King—Jun Jiuxiao.
Immediately afterwards, Jun Jiuxiao slowly turned around and said to Chu Xingyao, who was standing to the side looking somewhat at a loss:
"So, were you just now offering such frank advice as a future princess to plead for me?"
After saying this, his sharp gaze went straight to the exquisite sandalwood box that Nighthawk was holding.
The meaning was quite obvious: they clearly wanted Chu Xingyao to accept the keys to the four private vaults and the land deeds for three whole streets.
As for the origin of this wealth, Chu Xingyao had heard some rumors from Jun Xuanche in her previous life.
It is said that Jun Jiuxiao's birth mother, the highly respected Empress Yi'an, was an unparalleled business genius.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel to the beautiful Empress Yi'an, who died young. But before her death, she left four enormous treasure troves for her beloved son.
Moreover, the wealth in each of these treasuries far exceeds the total wealth that the current imperial treasury can hold.
If Jun Jiuxiao hadn't shown her that incomparably precious land deed...
She probably never knew this astonishing fact, whether in her past life or this one – that the three most bustling and lively streets in Kyoto all belonged to Jun Jiuxiao alone!
Surprisingly, even though they had just become engaged and the wedding date had not yet been set, Jun Jiuxiao had already bestowed upon them such a priceless and meaningful betrothal gift without hesitation.
He had such deep trust in her.
Just as she was filled with hesitation and her thoughts were in turmoil, Jun Jiuxiao's deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang in her ears:
"What? Yao'er, are you unwilling to take responsibility for me?" These words were like a thunderbolt, instantly making Chu Xingyao blush and feel so ashamed that she wanted to disappear.
She hurriedly took the exquisite sandalwood box from Nighthawk's hands.
At the same time, she secretly vowed in her heart that no matter what happens in this life, she would never let down the affectionate man in front of her.
Jun Jiuxiao turned to look at Ye Ying beside him and said slowly:
"Since the Princess has already pleaded for you, then this time your punishment will be waived. However, why don't you quickly thank the Princess for her magnanimity?"
When Jun Jiuxiao uttered the words "Princess Consort," he deliberately emphasized them, implying a deeper meaning.
How could the clever and quick-witted Night Hawk not understand the implication? So he immediately knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Chu Xingyao.
Then, with a serious and earnest expression, he said:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy! Your Highness, you are not only beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven, but also kind-hearted, gentle and considerate."
"I believe that the Princess and the Prince will be able to love each other dearly, grow old together, and be forever united in heart..."
His comical appearance made Chu Xingyao, who was standing to the side, giggle.
Sitting to the side, Chu's father and mother saw how much care and attention Jun Jiuxiao showed to his precious daughter.
The two looked at each other, a hint of relief in their eyes, and their anxious hearts calmed down a little.
Just then, a servant rushed over and reported:
"Madam, it's terrible! Our storerooms are already full, there's simply no way we can hold any more! What should we do with these betrothal gifts?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Chu quickly stood up and said apologetically to Jun Jiuxiao:
"Your Highness, please rest here for a while. I will go and find a way to free up a few more rooms to store these betrothal gifts."
However, before she could finish speaking, Chu Xingyao reached out and stopped her mother.
At this moment, her heart was no longer as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Because she knew very well the size of her own storeroom, and it was completely filled, she wondered how much betrothal gift he had brought.
So she raised her head, her beautiful eyes sweeping across the room before landing directly on Jun Jiuxiao, and asked softly:
"Yaochen, did you really move all the belongings of the War King's Mansion here with us?"
Faced with Chu Xingyao's questioning, Jun Jiuxiao remained indifferent, waving his hand and replying:
"It's not all of it, only half of it has been moved here."
"As for the rest, I was worried that the General's Mansion was too small to fit all these things, so I temporarily put them in the courtyard next to the General's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingyao frowned and pressed for an answer:
"So how many boxes were delivered in total?"
Jun Jiuxiao casually replied, still nonchalantly, "Hmm... probably around 366 units."
Chu's father and mother were utterly astonished, thinking to themselves, "What? Three hundred and sixty-six tiers? Even the Empress's dowry was only one hundred and eighty tiers."
What surprised them even more was that the seemingly abandoned and uninhabited courtyard next door was actually the prince's property! This truly astonished them.
At this moment, Chu Xingyao followed her mother to this courtyard to find out what was going on.
When they reached the gate of the mansion, the sight before them left them speechless—
There was a huge crowd of people, a veritable sea of people, completely blocking the gate of the mansion.
All eyes were on the mountains of red boxes.
At this moment, a master of ceremonies shouted in a hoarse voice, but his voice was too hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
Night Hawk, who was standing not far away, frowned and walked up to him, saying, "Your voice is really unbearable to listen to. You should find someone else quickly!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another announcer, beaming with joy, stepped forward to take his place, cleared his throat, and continued to announce loudly:
One hundred luminous pearls from the South China Sea!
Immediately afterwards, two huge boxes were slowly lifted by several strong men and carried into the courtyard. When the boxes were opened, they were filled to the brim with luminous pearls the size of bowls.
These luminous pearls shimmered with dazzling light, so bright and beautiful that they were breathtaking.
The crowd gasped in amazement. It was said that just two of these enormous luminous pearls could be exchanged for a prosperous city!
