Chapter 346: Can you be my concubine?
Chapter 346 It's good to make you a concubine
Before the dance was over, some ministers couldn't bear it any longer. They stood up and said to Junli, "Your Majesty, today is your birthday. I would like to present you a pair of Nanhai night pearls. I wish your Majesty good luck like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."
Nanhai Yemingzhu, Huang Zhanwu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Junli.
This first gift is so expensive, it seems that she will collect a lot of money tonight...
Recalling Junli’s statement that day that she had no money at all, and that even her remaining four hundred taels of silver would be stolen, Huang Zhanwu couldn’t help but smile.
Perhaps, she should take one of the birthday presents to make up for the four hundred taels of silver that Junli stole from her.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhanwu couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, and took the wine glass in front of her to cover the corner of her mouth to hide that smile.
Huang Zhanwu naturally knew that the birthday presents given to Junli this time were very precious, and each of them cost no less than ten thousand taels of silver. So taking it away is not a small sum.
but…
Looking up, he saw that the ministers kept offering Junli birthday presents, and so far, none of them were found that was less than ten thousand taels of silver. So it shouldn't be a problem for her to charge one less item.
Four hundred taels for 10,000 taels, a very good deal, isn’t it…
After the frenzy of gift giving ended, Jun Li looked at the gift list handed over by Eunuch Yu, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
I didn't expect that all the civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty were so rich, and the worst birthday gift they gave was no less than five thousand taels. This made Junli wonder whether they were all corrupt?
Shi sealed the amber jade pendant worth ten thousand taels, which is nothing. However, Prime Minister Meng, an upright and honest official, actually gave him a phoenix spread wings glass hairpin worth no less than ten thousand taels, which surprised Junli.
After the ministers gave the gifts, the dance was gradually coming to an end. The leading man came towards Junli, and finished the last dance alone in front of her. The last one leaned over, twirled and landed in Junli's arms .
Picking up the wine glass on the table, the man smiled charmingly at Junli, "Your Majesty, drink." As he spoke, he passed the wine glass to the corner of Junli's lips, and put his hand on her shoulder.
Seeing this, Jun Li curled his lips into a smile, and stretched out his hand to hug the man in his arms. After taking the wine glass, he was not in a hurry to drink, but put the wine glass down. Reaching out to lift the man's chin, he smiled frivolously, "It's quite a bit long, what's it called?"
Hearing this, the man blushed and lowered his head slightly, revealing his snow-white neck. After a while, a delicate voice came softly, "Return to Your Majesty, slave... slave's name."
"Sound?" Jun Li hooked his lips, "Good name..."
The man smiled, "Thank you Your Majesty for your compliment."
Jun Li smiled, and hugged the man's waist tightly. Wrapping his cloud-like hair in his hands, he said in a low voice, "This emperor can make you a concubine, okay?"
Hearing this, the man's body shook, and then he smiled charmingly, "It's a slave...fortunate to be favored by His Majesty."
Jun Li raised his lips, hugged the man, leaned into his ear and said, "Then tonight, I'll let you sleep, how about it?"
The smile on the man's face stagnated, and only for a moment, he regained his smiling appearance.
"It's up to Your Majesty to order..." The man leaned into Junli's arms, hugging Junli's shoulders with both hands, smiling charmingly.
Jun Li put his arms around the man, waved his hands down and said, "Go ahead."
The singing and dancing continued, but everyone looked at Junli in surprise.
Although you ministers know that Junli is a good man, that was all a few months ago. Over the past two months, Junli has never shown any signs of masculinity. All the ministers thought that Junli had quit, but they did not expect it to show up today.
The eighth princess sat on her seat, glaring at Junli indignantly, and wanted to stand up, but was held back by Mrs. Xu who had been paying attention to her.
"Your Highness, this is Beirong Kingdom. Even if you don't think about your ministers, you should also think about the whole Nanyan Kingdom." Master Xu begged.
The eighth princess is not completely stupid, knowing that there is nothing wrong with fighting Huang Zhanwu just now. But if she fights with Jun Li, she will definitely lose. After all, she still knows whose territory this is, who is in charge, and who is the boss. It's like in Nanyan Country, she is the boss, and everyone has to listen to her.
Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to sit on the seat and drink one cup after another.
Huang Zhanwu glanced at Junli, and something flashed in his eyes, which was very meaningful.
Nangong Lingyan, who was sitting on the side drinking wine, saw this with a hint of disdain in his eyes. But also vaguely understand that things are not simple. Although that woman behaved dissolutely and unrulyly, she was not such a lustful person no matter what.
Looks like tonight... there's something exciting to watch.
Nangong Lingyan curled his lips slightly, and for the first time had the mentality of watching the excitement.
"Your Majesty, Empress, this time we are here on the orders of His Majesty our country to come to the Beirong Kingdom to congratulate Her Majesty the Empress on her birthday. These are some small respects from Her Majesty our country to Her Majesty the Empress, and I hope Her Majesty the Empress will accept them with a smile." Master Xu said from the position He stood up and bowed to Junli.
As she finished speaking, an attendant had already taken the gift slip from her and placed it in Jun Li's hand.
Jun Li glanced at it casually, and secretly clicked his tongue.
These are actually called small respects? It seems that the Zhongyi Kingdom has developed very well in these years. The sum of these birthday gifts is at least no less than one million taels. It seems that the Zhongyi Kingdom is really generous.
but…
Seeing the smile on Huang Zhanwu's mouth from the corner of his eyes, Jun Li raised his eyebrows, there is a ghost!
Sensing Junli's gaze, Huang Zhanwu quickly suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and coughed lightly. Pretending to be leisurely drinking the wine in the glass. However, he was thinking in his heart that Jun Li should not find out that she had swallowed a birthday present.
Although he knew that Huang Zhanwu's appearance at this time was very suspicious, but Jun Li also knew that it was not to check whether she was suspicious, but to deal with what would happen next.
Handing the gift list to Eunuch Yu, Junli slightly raised his hand, "Thank you, Empress Nanyan, for your kindness. This Emperor appreciates it. Please, Lord Xu and the Eighth Queen, send my greetings to Your Majesty on behalf of the Emperor after they return."
The eighth princess did not make a sound, but Master Xu nodded repeatedly, "Definitely, definitely!"
Jun Li nodded.
Qin Muyuan, who had been sitting by the side without making a sound, stood up at this time, and said to Junli, "This time, the Empress's birthday, I don't have any good things in West Qin Kingdom. Please give me some kindness." Your Majesty accepts it with a smile." As he spoke, he took out a gift slip from his sleeve and handed it to the attendant who was waiting on the side.
The attendant handed the gift list to Junli, Junli just glanced at it, and saw that although there were not as many things written on it as in the Zhongyi Kingdom, everything was rare in the world and priceless.
Passing the gift list to Eunuch Yu, Jun Li said, "The eldest prince has troubled you, please sit down, and you will not return tonight without getting drunk."
