"Just now, the King Of Zhao's Consort gave you three plaques and you gave her a hug. Wang gave you so many plaques, why didn't you say anything?" Chu Xuanchen said unhappily.
"So it's like that? Alright then, I'll also give you a hug. "Yun Ruoyue didn't think that this guy would actually act shamelessly in front of everyone.
"Three plaques for a hug. Wang has twelve plaques here, how can one be enough?" Chu Xuanchen stood up straight and coldly asked.
"I'll give you four, okay? Buy four get one free, add one more, five, is that enough? " Yun Ruoyue was afraid that people would hear their conversation, so she quickly moved closer to Chu Xuanchen and quickly hugged him five times.
Then, she quickly withdrew her body. With a red face, she lowered her head and only stared at her own feet.
This scene must have been seen by others and there must be people laughing at her in their hearts.
"That's more like it." After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he walked away contentedly and calmly.
Finally, Hongyuan Emperor also personally stood up and solemnly put his plaque into Yun Ruoyue's box.
Even the emperor voted for Yun Ruoyue, so she was definitely first place.
Hongyuan Emperor finally announced, "The Princess of Li is intelligent, graceful, and has outstanding skills. She received the most plaques and is fully deserving of first place. Then, this jade pendant that I always wear, will be given to her from now on."
After speaking, he placed the jade pendant on the tray in the eunuch's hands.
Yun Ruoyue thanked him and then took the jade pendant.
As for who the second and third place were, no one cared about them anymore.
mark(“zhong“);
This time, Yun Ruoyue became the focus of everyone again.
After she sat back down, she pretended to bury her head in peeling pine nuts. She didn't want to be the center of attention again. Otherwise, the empress's faction would be jealous to death.
During the voting just now, the empress's faction voted for the second place, a niece of the empress.
When they voted, Consort Shu, Consort Hui, and the others looked at her as if they wanted to eat her alive.
So she decided to keep a low profile.

When the competition between the noble ladies came to an end, the envoys sitting in the corner suddenly stood up at the same time.
Among them, the leader, an envoy with a beard and a felt robe, said provocatively, "Your Majesty, since Dayi became a vassal state of Chu, we've been paying tribute every year for more than ten years, and we've always been a vassal state. After paying tribute for so many years, our country's national power has long been exhausted, and our national treasury is empty. The people of Dayi are not happy. Today, I have a question to test everyone. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, if anyone can take out the Saint Pearl of Dayi from the boiling oil with his bare hands, Dayi will continue to submit to Chu, and continue to offer tributes. If the time it takes for one incense stick to burn is up, and none of the warriors can bring out the sacred pearl, then can Chu exempt us from paying tribute? "
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Usually, this kind of diplomatic meeting would cause trouble. Usually, it was the vassal state that was not obedient and did not want to pay tribute, or wanted to pay less tribute and get more benefits. Sometimes, it was the provocation of an enemy state.
They didn't expect it to happen this time.
When Hongyuan Emperor heard this, his face became so gloomy that it could drip blood. "Fifteen years ago, it was Dayi who voluntarily bowed to Chu, and repeatedly paid tribute. In exchange, Chu will send troops to protect Dayi's safety. For more than ten years, Dayi has not been at war, harassed or bullied by other states, and it is all thanks to Chu's protection. What, you don't want Chu's protection now? "
