Chapter 19: Gathering Crowds and Hoarding Wealth

  Initial Volume Heaven Descends Trouble ☆ And Dear Princess Chapter 19 Gathering Crowds and Hoarding Wealth (Revised)

  The Night Emperor furrowed his brow and looked at Yixin, who had a shocked expression, thinking about how to help her out of this situation. In a low voice, he said: "War King, what do you think of Xiao Gongzi's proposal?"

  The princess of the Cang State is a noble guest, and since Ye Jue had resolutely maintained her heart's purity, then if he kicked this ball back into his hands, there was nothing wrong with that at all.

  "It's natural to listen to the piano."

  The low and mellow magnetic voice is not heavy, echoing in the Flying Phoenix Pavilion, like a clear spring between mountains, pleasant to hear.

  Yi's heart was stained with a faint pull on his sleeve, disliking his dictatorship. Why not ask for her opinion on how to perform? Who said she wanted to play the piano?

  Even if you have to shoot, don't waste your bullets.

  "In the name of the war king, I thank you for your completion." The man in black waved his hand, and the attendant standing behind him quickly brought up an ancient zither, with long hands lifting the dark green cloth covering it. "This zither is called Green Frost."

  The body of the qin is a uniform bright green, like a piece of top-grade jade. The seven silver-white strings are like patterns inlaid on the body of the qin, and their beauty is beyond words. Dark chrysanthemums bloom all over the body of the qin, quietly unfolding and emitting a faint scent of wine that wafts through the air, unknowingly causing people to feel carefree and joyful.

  "What's so special about this guqin?" Blinking, Yixin Ye simply hugged Ye Juedi's arm, to her it was just a very good-looking and special guqin.

  However, the wine fragrance emitted from Qin's body was so enticing that even she, a non-drinker, couldn't help but want to take a sip to see if it tasted as intoxicating as it smelled.

  "Qingyu is one of the seven ancient guqins and ranks third."

  "So it was."

  "A precious zither is given to a hero, a famous zither is given to a beauty..."

  "In other words, if this tune of the princess can satisfy you, then Qing Yu is hers." Yi Xin Yan raised an eyebrow, her black and white eyes staring at the man in black, a hint of displeasure flashing through her mind.

  "The Queen of War is talented and beautiful, I admire her from below."

  The night was quiet, with a hint of dust in the air. In the cup, a clear yellow liquid swirled gently. A low voice spoke: "All guests attending the banquet, if one million two hundred thousand taels of gold cannot be produced, then each person will have to contribute five hundred taels..."

  "A thousand taels, and this princess will like it." Yixin interrupted Ye Nai's words, and Yaoyao dared to be difficult with her. "Sister won't let you die, but she'll make you shed a layer of skin."

  Cough...cough...

  Fei Feng Tai exploded again, and they couldn't help but suspect that this was a play staged by the War King and Queen to swindle money from the crowd.

  And they were all being played with.

  The Emperor was choked hard and almost lost his composure, but the Princess Ye Yuexi quickly handed him a cup of wine and said softly, "Father, I toast you."

  The cunning one winked, meaning for Ye Huang to follow him down the stairs.

  It's great to make a lot of money at the dinner party.

  "War King's Consort, your one thousand two is..."

  "Nature is a thousand taels of silver, but the ninth child is very kind and generous." The lovely and innocent blinking eyes, she smiled like a little fox who had stolen something.

  The man in black almost vomited blood after hearing the couple's conversation, and he didn't even get to enjoy the dance. He spent 10 million taels of gold just to listen to the music, and now they're asking him to contribute 1,000 taels of silver per person for over 200 people at this banquet - it's simply too shameless.

  "Haha..." The Night Emperor didn't know what kind of expression he should have, and could only stare at Yixin with a dry smile.

  He suddenly found out that this girl's expressions were incredibly cute when she was scamming people.

  "I think a thousand taels of silver is something you gentlemen can afford." Night's dust swept across Xiao Sheng's face, his extremely majestic gaze scanned the faces of the officials one by one, and a sly smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth.

  "Does this count as gathering crowds and collecting wealth?"

  "It doesn't count." Ye Juechen's face didn't redden, and his breathing didn't quicken as he replied.

  "So you're selling me out."

  She stained her lips with rouge, and when she got money, it was for her performances. He sat back and collected the money, which was comfortable.

  No way, if I really have to perform, I'll drag him down with me even if it kills us both.

  "It's not trouble you've gotten yourself into." The evil spirit raised an eyebrow, and Ye Juechen turned to look at her, only to see her pouting with her moist pink lips, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light, as if calculating something.

  "You——" gritted his teeth, his face flushing red with anger.

  Those who have been targeted by her will never be able to escape.

  Although the minister was angry, and the officials of the Night Kingdom were dissatisfied, when they saw the Night Emperor, Xuan Yuan Empress, and all the concubines take out their silver coins, they still obediently took out their own wallets. One thousand two white silvers, enough for them to squander for a long time.

  After one round, a total of three boxes were filled with silver tickets, and together with the 10 million taels of gold, they could be used to exempt the people from paying taxes for a whole year.

  "War King's Consort, can we begin?" The black-clad Xiao Sheng no longer had a mocking smile on his face, and his sharp, ink-black eyes darted back and forth between Ye Juechen and Yi Xinchuan, trying to discern something.

  "Father, I'm not good at playing the melody myself, it's too monotonous. Why don't you let my husband accompany me instead?" The sweet and soft voice fell into people's hearts like a feather, gentle and soothing, making everyone's bones feel weak.

  Her words were so matter-of-fact that she seemed to be completely immune to the terrifying cold air emanating from Ye Nüxu, but unfortunately for the others in the hall, they felt a chill run down their spines.

  "This..." Ye Huang gazed at Yixin Ran, then glanced at Ye Juechen, stifling a laugh with great difficulty, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably. His daughter-in-law looked soft and weak, but how could she speak so fiercely?

  It's an outrageous proposal for his iceberg son to dance.

  "Your Majesty, since the sixth imperial brother and sister are short of a dance partner, I am willing to accompany them." Nan Rong stood up with elegant language, her phoenix eyes first looked at Ye Juechen softly, and finally fell on Ye Huang's face.

  In her water sleeves, both hands clenched into fists. How could she let the dust dance with her? The hidden anger in her phoenix eyes flashed and disappeared, and when she raised her eyes again, wasn't it moving and pitiful, making people feel infinite sympathy and love?

  "The Crown Princess dances alone, just in time to dance with Jiu Er." A glint of light flashed in his eyes and disappeared. Ye Huang looked deeply at Nan Rong Shanyu, opening his mouth with profound meaning.

  "Thank you, Princess Consort, for your kind intentions." Yixin stood up and took a few steps forward, perfectly blocking Nan Rong's line of sight towards Ye Juechen. "But the tune I want to play can only be accompanied by my husband."

  In front of her, he still dared to flirt with her man, as if she didn't exist.

  If it weren't for that engagement, she wouldn't have had that bizarre transmigration. If it weren't for that pregnant woman, she wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament. Since she accepted the identity of Princess Jiuyue of Nanguo, she would not allow herself to become the abandoned one again.

  No matter what role she played in the past life of Ye Nian, she is the legitimate queen consort of Zhan Wang, and no one can ignore her existence.

  Even if I really became a mistress, it would have to be a genuine one.

  "But..." Nan Rong's voice trailed off as she wanted to say something more, only to hear Yi Xin's cold tone: "Crown Prince Royal Brother, take care of your own Crown Princess. The matters between this king and his wife are not for an outsider like you to interfere with."

  Ignoring Nan Rong's face that had turned pale in an instant, Yi Xin Cai gazed into the deep, dark eyes of Ye Qiu, and couldn't help but tremble slightly all over, "If you don't give me a partner to dance with, I'll pretend that I don't know anything and embarrass you."

  "That's losing face for you."

  "In your eyes, I'm just a troublemaker, it doesn't matter if I lose face or not, I don't care." The long eyelashes fluttered like feather fans, Yixin's heart was racing as she leaned in, the two stunning faces were pressed extremely close, eye to eye, mouth to mouth, whoever made a slight move would result in an intimate contact.

  "This king will dance with you."

  Low and powerful dark magnetic voice, light as floating clouds, heavy as Mount Tai, bewildering people's hearts like a magical sound, shocking every heart, one stone stirring up a thousand waves.

  Let's start all over again...
