Chapter 449: Strong Financial Resources
Xiao Ming took the initiative to pull Queen Nalan's hand.
Queen Nalan picked up Xiao Ming and held him tightly in her arms.
What good children they are! Their status is so noble, but they cannot return to the palace with Chu Li, nor can they announce it to the world.
Soon, she would make them the happiest children in the world.
Chu Li accepted the heavy gifts from Empress Dowager Nalan and Jun Yaohua on behalf of the children.
After finishing the meal, Queen Nalan looked at Jun Yaohua.
"There is a palace banquet tonight, and I have to go meet the mother and son."
"That's exactly what this princess meant."
Princess Yaohua clenched her fists and let her meet the emperor's sister-in-law's dog brother and her blind mother!
Chu Li reminded him, "Please don't tell anyone about our relationship yet. I will personally drive Chu Muran off the stage and make that clown infamous forever."
"Okay, but I can't bear this. I must deal with that mother and son."
"Yeah." Chu Li nodded.
Her abdication this time was not without preparation. When one is in a high position, one may not be able to see the true face of a villain.
She wanted to take this opportunity to purge the ministers in the court who were double-faced.
......
At the city gate, Chu Muran and Mu Xinyue had been waiting there for half an hour and were almost frozen to death, but there was still no sign of the Great Xia Kingdom's envoys arriving.
The two stood on the red carpet, looking in the direction of the official road.
"Eunuch Li, why hasn't the Daxia delegation arrived yet?" Chu Muran was almost losing his patience.
Eunuch Li nodded and said, "I'll send someone to inquire and will be back soon."
"Report!" The messenger came to report, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the Great Xia envoys suddenly stopped to rest on the road."
Mu Xinyue's eyes turned cold. She thought, why not just forget it. The princess of Daxia Kingdom would definitely be arrogant. If she were to marry him, she might become a living ancestor who needed to be worshipped like this every day.
"Mother, it's cold, please go back to the palace first. I will wait for you for a while."
Mu Xinyue straightened her back and displayed the dignity of the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for us in the Great Chu to bend our backs like this. Just follow the etiquette and let the people from the Ministry of Rites wait here."
"Yes, mother, please go back first. I will be back soon." Chu Muran handed a hand warmer to Mu Xinyue.
After Mu Xinyue left, Chu Muran looked in the direction of the official road. Was it possible that the Great Xia Kingdom’s carriage broke down on the road?
As the emperor, he personally went to pick her up in a carriage, which would surely make Princess Yaohua feel his sincerity.
So he led the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Guards to meet the Daxia delegation.
Wait until they arrive.
The eunuch said in a sharp voice: "The Emperor of Great Chu is here to welcome the Great Chu envoys."
General Li Chang, who was in charge of guarding the delegation, dismounted and saw Chu Muran sitting on his horse.
Isn’t His Majesty the beloved one of their Majesty?
How come a man came?
Minister of Rites Ma Yunqing dismounted from his horse and said, "General Li has come from afar. I heard that you stopped on the road. Your Majesty was worried that you might be in trouble, so he came to greet you."
General Li Chang bowed to Ma Yunqing and said, "The Empress Dowager and Her Royal Highness the Princess have been taken to the palace."
"Ah?" Ma Yunqing widened his eyes. Who is so brave to pick someone up before His Majesty?
Chu Muran was riding on a horse, his cheeks were red from the cold, his whole body was frozen, and a flash of coldness passed through his eyes.
Who else could take away the royal family of Daxia? It must be his sister.
Does Chu Li still think she is the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom?
"Since the Queen Mother of Daxia and the princess have already arrived at the palace, I will wait for them in the palace."
After saying this, Chu Muran, who was full of anger, returned to the palace with a cold face.
Today he lost all his face in front of everyone!
Not only did the court officials know that he personally welcomed the Daxia delegation, but even the common people saw him returning alone.
......
At the dinner, princes, nobles and ministers all attended.
When Chu Muran saw the Queen Mother of Daxia and Princess Yaohua coming, he suppressed his anger and welcomed them to take their seats with a smile.
After all, Princess Yaohua was really beautiful, and it was worth it for him to wait so long.
Chu Muran sat on the dragon throne, and Mu Xinyue sat not far away.
She quietly looked at the Queen Mother Nalan of the Great Xia Kingdom. As expected, she was very graceful and sat there calmly and composedly as if she was at home.
Princess Yaohua is also beautiful. If she likes Chu Muran, it would be nice for her to be the queen.
Chu Muran raised his glass and said, "I toast to the distinguished guest from the Great Xia Kingdom who has come from afar."
The ministers saw that the Queen Mother of Daxia and Princess Yaohua did not raise their glasses.
Princess Yaohua was still looking around, as if she was looking for someone.
"What is Princess Yaohua looking at?" Chu Muran asked awkwardly, putting down the cup.
Princess Yaohua frowned, "That's not right, the person I want to see is not here."
The people sitting there only saw Empress Dowager Nalan smiling slightly, with an extremely graceful and elegant demeanor.
"Where is His Majesty Chu Li? She cured my mother's eye disease. Many doctors have failed to cure the disease, but she cured it. She is simply the best doctor in the world. I have not thanked her in person yet."
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It turned out that the people from the Great Xia Kingdom were not visiting to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne.
But I came to find Chu Li.
Mu Xinyue felt very upset. Her daughter had been treated by the Empress Dowager of Daxia. Did Chu Li know medical skills?
How come she hasn't heard of it?
The ministers were also quite shocked and discussed among themselves in low voices.
"It turns out that the miraculous doctor Shui Nanyin who cured the Queen Mother of Daxia was Your Majesty!"
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty's medical skills are so great!" The ministers were proud of it.
The old officials of the Imperial Censorate praised him: "Your Majesty has really done his best to make the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Chu Kingdom friendly."
"Yes!" They all began to miss Chu Li.
Chu Muran instantly felt humiliated. He originally thought that the Great Xia delegation came to congratulate him, but he didn't expect that they didn't even know that he was the emperor of the Great Xia.
He remained calm to hide his emotions and smiled gently to hide his embarrassment, "The royal sister is not feeling well and is not here today."
"That's unfortunate. I came here with valuable gifts to thank her." Queen Nalan was very regretful.
Princess Yaohua said in a frustrated tone, "I have an appointment with Her Majesty of Da Chu to meet her, and I want to give her eight million taels of silver as a thank you. Unfortunately, she is not here. Forget it, mother, let's go back to Da Xia."
Mu Xinyue clenched her palms. She only found out two days ago that when Emperor Qingyuan was in power, Da Chu owed Da Xia a national debt of 10 million.
Empress Dowager Nalan was very generous and wanted to give Chu Li eight million taels as a thank you.
There is so much silver! The Chu treasury can’t even take out one million taels of silver now.
Chu Li, she is really capable, but is she really that powerful?
Why did she remember that Chu Li didn't know any medical skills?
The ministers' eyes also lit up, my God!
Daxia is indeed a supreme country with strong financial resources, and it gave away eight million taels of silver as soon as it was promised.
How great it would be if their Majesty was still Chu Li!
"Princess, wait a minute." Chu Muran's eyes lit up when he heard the eight million taels of silver.
If he could get so much silver, there would be no need to worry about the empty treasury!
"Eunuch Li, take Princess Chu Xing and General Mu Jiangge to find Chu Li and see if she is feeling better?" Chu Muran gave Eunuch Li a meaningful look.
We have to carry Chu Li over even if we have to.
He was sure that Chu Xing and Mu Jiangge must know the whereabouts of his sister.
Mu Jiangge glanced at Chu Xing and said, "Let's go, Princess Xiaoqi, let's go find His Majesty."
Chu Xing followed happily.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li turned around and revealed a barely perceptible smile.
Chu Muran looked at Princess Yaohua with gentle eyes, "Princess, please wait for a moment. My sister will be here soon."
"Then this princess is willing to wait." Princess Yaohua shook the wine glass without even looking at Chu Muran.
The evil thief Chu Muran even planned to rob the silver they prepared for the Emperor's sister-in-law. He's dreaming!
