Chapter 18 His Maintenance

  Six short words, stirred up a shocking wave, the entire Fei Feng Tai was like a boiling pot, whether it was the Wen Wu officials of Ye Guo or the envoys of Xiao and Cang countries, not one was not pale with fright, all sorts of low whispers rose and fell, all looked at Yixin Ran with eyes that saw a madman.

  Even Ye Huang was shocked, and he had never expected her to propose such an astronomical price.

  In the four countries, the highest annual income is only 50 million taels of white silver, but she wants 10 million taels of yellow gold for one dance, it's really making the Night Emperor speechless.

  "Your Majesty, does Jiǔér not know...?" The Empress Xuan Yuan's face turned somewhat pale, and she couldn't help but wonder if Yixin knew how to calculate silver.

  But if she knew a thing or two, she would never have come up with such an astronomical price of one million taels of gold.

  The country of Ye is the most wealthy, with an annual income of only 50-60 million taels of white silver in the national treasury, and that's when the weather is favorable. If there are natural disasters, it's at most 40 million taels of white silver.

  One hundred million taels of gold, is this girl sure she didn't say it wrong?

  "The War King's Consort, you're simply talking nonsense! You don't dare to compete with me and directly say it's one hundred million taels of gold. Are you robbing me?" The eighth princess of the Xiao Kingdom glared at Yixin, her beautiful face red with rage, her chest heaving up and down, her fists clenched in her sleeves, controlling the urge to slap Yixin's cheek.

  The Sixth Princess of the Cang Nation was even more furious, with a fierce flame burning in her almond-shaped eyes. She was the noble Sixth Princess, yet she had been compared to a lowly and humble dancer - what could be tolerated, what couldn't be tolerated?

  "War King's Consort, are you sure you're not just teasing Night Emperor and all of us for fun?" Taking a deep breath again to suppress the anger in her chest, Cang Lan gazed at Yixin with a smile that was not quite a smile.

  What right does he have to compare them to lowly dancing girls, what right does he have to remain so calm and composed after saying such things.

  "Does the princess look like she's joking?" Yixin lowered her eyes, and a faint light flashed by. Could it be that one million two hundred thousand taels of gold was truly an astronomical price? The people in this place were indeed impoverished. "The princess is not only the ninth princess of the southern kingdom, but also the Guo Princess conferred by my imperial father. You should all kneel to show respect. Moreover, she is the war queen of the night kingdom. Her status is noble and esteemed. If you want the princess to degrade herself as a dancing girl and dance in public, it's not excessive to ask for one million two hundred thousand taels of gold as a reward, is it?"

  The words fell, and the whole scene was in an uproar again.

  Isn't that what Yixin said? Although everyone knows in their hearts, she is the unloved princess of the southern country, but the title of Gongguo Princess is real, and seeing you without kneeling is also true. Compared to the princess born by the empress, it's even more noble.

  Among them, it's really hard to pick out which princess has a more noble status than Yixin.

  "No matter if you are royal relatives or the powerful prime minister, or even a noble envoy from a foreign land, I am not a dancing girl. It's not worth it for me to sell smiles and dances like a courtesan just because of your few mocking words. My dignity is not something that can be bought with a mere 10 million taels of gold. If you want to watch but don't want to pay the silver, then why not dance with me instead?"

  "You——"

  Trembling fingers pointed directly at Yixin's nose, the two princesses of Xiao and Cang countries were so angry that their faces turned bright red, they had a lot to say but couldn't get it out, the emotions accumulated in their chests, making them feel suffocated.

  First, they humiliated them by degrading them to dancing girls, and then they said that the dignified princesses of a country were even more debased as prostitutes, which was really too much.

  "The two princesses have brought shame to the imperial family, and yet it's not as if I, the queen, had a knife held to your throats forcing you to jump. Don't vent your anger on me."

  "Yixinran, you've gone too far!" The Sixth Princess of the Cang State, who had never been insulted like this before, threw aside her dignity and rushed towards Yixinran, who was standing in the center of the main hall. She raised her hand to slap Yixinran's face, venting her anger.

  No one saw how Ye Xuechen made his move, only a gust of wind swept by, and a silver chopstick pierced through the palm of Cang Guo's Sixth Princess. Scarlet blood splashed out, like red plum blossoms blooming on her white dress, an enchanting beauty that was hard to describe.

  "My queen is also one of you who can move."

  His maintenance is simple and straightforward, without any unnecessary complications.

  Yi Xinxin gazed at him with a dazed expression, her mouth curled up into a captivating smile that stole hearts, causing all the flowers to lose their color and the sun and moon to scatter their radiance.

  "Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well, I'll take my leave and rest first." Cang Lan covered her palm, which was bleeding profusely, and two personal maids immediately came forward to support her. Without waiting for Ye Huang's response, she left in embarrassment and frustration.

  She knows her own weight and can't get any advantage from fighting with Ye Juechen.

  Today's humiliation can only be avenged another day.

  "The queen of war dances for a thousand gold, if you offer as many as there are, I don't know if it's possible to satisfy my eyes." Among the Xue Guo envoys, a black-robed brocade man with a face like jade, eyebrows and eyes full of spring, holding a jade fan, gazed intensely at Yixin, his dark pupils deep as the sea, impossible to fathom his thoughts.

  "Who are you?"

  "The King of War doesn't have to be so surprised, he is Xiao Sheng, the nephew of this humble one, who has been fond of the customs and people of Ye Guo since childhood. This time, he came together with me also because of the emperor's order." Jin Hou Xiao Shan bowed his hands towards Ye Huang, apparently not putting I Xin in his eyes.

  The man in black smiled slightly, like a gentle spring breeze on a March day, warm and soft. However, Ixue's heart was not so easily swayed, and she furrowed her brow, instinctively sensing that this man was insincere. "On the day of the Golden Tribute, I, the princess, will personally invite my father to invite you into the palace again, where I will perform a dance for you."

  "What do you mean by that, Princess Zhan?" Xiao Shan's face sank, could it be that they had spent money but couldn't even get her to dance for them? The eighth princess of the Xiao Kingdom fell silent at this time, sitting quietly in her chair without saying a word.

  "Heh heh, the gold he paid for can only be enjoyed by him alone, you lot can't even think about watching for free."

  The Emperor's sharp black eyes sank slightly, and he said in a clear voice: "Since Marquis Xiao can afford the price set by the War Princess, I will choose another auspicious day to invite you to enter the palace and enjoy the dance."

  At this time, more than 200 people gathered at Feifengtai. If each of them took out 10 million taels of gold, the national treasury of that country would not be enough to hold it.

  This girl, with just a few words, not only belittled the two countries' princesses to be as cheap as dancing girls, but also made the envoys of the two countries so angry that they couldn't vent their anger. It's really giving her face, and it's quite interesting.

  "Tonight, under the moonlight, I have finally met Your Majesty. I've long heard that the War King's Consort is a beauty with unparalleled dancing skills, and it's indeed hard to find someone who can match her."

  "So much nonsense, just say what you want to say." Yixin's face turned black as she turned around and walked to Ye Juedi's side, snatching the half-drunk tea from his hand and finishing it in one gulp. She leaned close to his ear and asked, "Is Ye Guo very poor?"

  Dazed, Ye Xue looked at his empty hands, his eyes twitching, and just as he came back to himself, he heard Yixin's words, a black line appeared on his forehead, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently, "Not poor."

  "Is one billion two taels of gold a lot?"

  The corners of his eyes twitched again, and his thin lips curled up slightly, "Not many."

  "Why did I say I wanted a thousand taels of gold, they all looked at me as if they wanted to skin me alive." Just thinking about those eyes made Yixin's hair stand on end.

  Ye Juechen ignored her and remained silent.

  "That man wearing black clothes is really annoying, I should have asked for a few more million yuan if I had known, hateful."

  "He also wore black clothes, and Night Dust's face turned darker than dark. That was the real deal, not like the big white radish in the vegetable market that you can have as many as you want."

  The man in black didn't mind Yixin's attitude, and smiled warmly and harmlessly, saying in a low voice: "I recently acquired a good zither, why don't I invite the Princess Wang to show off her skills, it would also fulfill one of my wishes."

  Brushing brushing, one after another, the scorching gaze poured onto Yixin's body, almost drowning her.

  Digression

  "Recommendation: Micro-Micro's Song [Marriage Spoiling, Rebellious Wife]"

  The head of the Ye family conglomerate is actually worth only ten dollars, isn't this a huge scam?

  Ye Mo Chen never thought that he would be treated as a gigolo, being eaten and then discarded like a small piece of trash.

  Good job, woman!

  Ji Qingyan couldn't understand how she could be so lucky, finding a great boyfriend and unexpectedly running into him - her fiancé whom she had never met before.

  Counterattack of the Sheep

  In a dark room, on a messy big bed, a woman was lying on top of a man, her hands tearing at the man's clothes.

  "Xiao Yan'er, what's wrong with you!"

  "I let you smile at other women, didn't I tell you? Don't laugh randomly, laughing too much will devalue yourself. Things are precious because they are scarce."

  "That was just politeness, I won't smile again from now on." The man said innocently.

  "No, wait until you go bankrupt and then go sell your smile, it won't be too late!"
