After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

Chapter 645: I am willing

Xuanyuan Hong did not disappoint everyone. He handed the portrait to the eunuch chief, who understood what he meant and raised his hands high to make it easier for people to see what was painted on the scroll.

The result was amazing, and everyone praised the photos.

Even the finest pores can be clearly seen in the painting.

It was the first time they had seen such amazing painting skills, and they were all curious about who had done it.

When they saw the signature and seal on the photo, everyone's jaws almost dropped.

Someone flattered her, saying, "Her Highness the Ninth Princess is indeed the most talented woman in Xuanyuan. Her painting skills are truly amazing!"

Fu Ling wanted to laugh when she heard this. This was a piece of cake for her.

Qin Zhaozhao, who was sitting in the corner, was almost biting her teeth. Seeing Xuanyuan Ling being praised by everyone, the nameless fire in her heart began to rise.

This supreme vanity belonged to her, but just because Xuanyuan Ling was a princess, she stole the limelight from her.

In order to obtain the title of Xuanyuan's most talented woman, she paid much more than others, but all her efforts were wasted just because Xuanyuan Ling was a damn princess.

Fu Ling had already noticed this gaze, but she simply chose to ignore it. She hadn't dealt with the important matters yet, and she had no interest in little Karami like this.

Next, the ministers came to congratulate the birthday. Towards the end, Lu Beichen and Hong Gu stood up from their seats and came out with gifts.

The duo was very eye-catching, and since they sat down, many eyes were directed towards them.

Lu Beichen was especially popular because of his temperament and appearance. Many unmarried ladies looked at him with a shy look on their faces from time to time.

Some young ladies have even asked their subordinates to inquire about Lu Beichen's background.

Xuanyuan Hong clenched his hands slightly, staring straight at Hong Gu, automatically blocking out Lu Beichen who was standing beside him.

Bu Hanci was just as nervous as he was. Although she had never seen the Medicine Saint, she thought that there was no one else who could be with Lu Beichen except him.

"I wish Your Majesty good fortune as vast as the flowing waters of the East Sea and a long life as long as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains."

"Long live the saint, may he live forever"

"Please stand up quickly, both of you. I am truly honored that Senior Medicine Saint has come in person. I hope you will forgive me if I have been negligent."

"Your Majesty, your words are truly humiliating to me. It is my great honor to have the privilege of meeting you, Your Majesty."

Then Lu Beichen presented the gift, which was a square wooden box.

The eunuch opened the wooden box before presenting it to Xuanyuan Hong. After seeing the items inside, he took the things out of the box with a puzzled look on his face.

In this era, bows and arrows were used for long-range weapons, and weapons like crossbows had not appeared. So when Xuanyuan Hong held it in his hand, he didn't know what it was for a moment.

Lu Beichen explained, "Your Majesty, this is called the Nine-Shot Crossbow, and it can shoot nine arrows continuously."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked. If a nine-shot crossbow were used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be invincible?

The envoys from various countries were so shocked that their jaws dropped, and they all wanted to return to their countries immediately to report the matter.

Xuanyuan Hong stood up from the dragon throne, took the nine-shot crossbow in his hand, looked at it carefully, and quickly mastered its tricks.

Then he laughed heartily: "Great! Great! With a nine-shot crossbow, why fear the invasion of foreign nations!"

"This item is very dear to me, Lu Beichen. I once promised you something, and now you've given me such a great gift. Tell me, what do you want? Even if it's a promotion, I can promise you one."

Xuanyuan Hong was in a good mood and his voice was cheerful.

Lu Beichen looked in Fu Ling's direction, then knelt on his knees and said, "Your Majesty, I have only one wish."

"Tell me now!"

Even though she was already married, she was still a little nervous at this moment, and her heart was beating wildly.

"I beg Your Majesty to marry the Ninth Princess to me. I have prepared a ten-mile-long red dress to marry the Ninth Princess."

Everyone was shocked, thinking they were hallucinating. It was simply a fantasy for a commoner to dream of marrying a princess.

The smile on Xuanyuan Hong's face gradually disappeared, and he looked dignified without anger: "Master Lu, what did you just say?"

"I have long admired the Ninth Princess. I swear here that I will be devoted to her and will not let her suffer even the slightest injustice. I beg Your Majesty to grant my approval."

Bu Hanci originally thought she would be reluctant to leave, but when she actually faced this scene, she was more excited. She admired Lu Beichen's courage and the calmness and composure he had when facing the king, which were not something that ordinary people could do.

Worried that Xuanyuan Hong would refuse, she winked at him desperately.

Xuanyuan Hong was extremely depressed when he saw this scene. It seemed that the queen had already known about it, but he was the only one kept in the dark. He thought that he would first choose to be promoted and then work his way up slowly, but it turned out that the other party didn't like him at all and wanted to marry his daughter directly.

Who can stand this? Just now I admired the person very much, but now it is the father-in-law who is choosing the son-in-law, and I dislike him no matter how I look at him.

He looked down on her, his tone unkind: "How can you, a commoner like you, make her happy?"

He pulled out a list of betrothal gifts from his sleeve and said, "This is my sincere gift. Please review it, Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Hong breathed out through his nostrils. Bu Hanci beside him pulled his sleeve, and he then winked at the eunuch chief beside him.

The chief eunuch gestured and took the list from Lu Beichen.

"Read it out!" he said to the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch received the order, but after he took a quick glance at it, Xuanyuan Hong did not say anything for a long time.

"Hmm? Didn't I ask you to read it?"

"Your Majesty, this..." The chief eunuch hesitated to speak.

Xuanyuan Hong took the betrothal gift list in his hand with an impatient look on his face. He was originally disdainful, but his expression became more and more solemn. He thought of the news brought back by the spies from the Li Kingdom, that the Li Kingdom’s treasury was stolen, and the things on the list, weren’t they the treasures in the Li Kingdom’s treasury?

Wow, even though he is the king of a country, he was shocked. He was able to do all this without anyone knowing. It seems that this kid has hidden his strength!

"Your Majesty?" Bu Hanci brought the dazed emperor back to reality.

He casually handed the betrothal gift list to Bu Hanci. She had already prepared herself mentally, but when she saw the items on the betrothal gift list, she was really shocked.

This... the betrothal gifts are so high, how should the dowry be arranged?

The dowry originally prepared for Xuanyuan Ling was already extremely generous, but now compared with other people's, it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Now Bu Hanci also had a headache, and she had to discuss the dowry with him later.

Thinking of this, she handed the betrothal gift list back to Xuanyuan Hong intact. The smile on her face was enough to prove that his queen was quite satisfied with this marriage.

If people knew about this, wouldn't they think he was selling his daughter for personal gain? Is he that kind of person?

"Hey! You have to ask Ling'er about this matter. If she doesn't care about you, don't bring it up now."

As soon as I finished speaking...

"Father... your son is willing..."
