The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 177
The cover of the tray is slowly opened. A beautiful looking statue of the Goddess of Mercy appeared before everyone. Seeing from its delicate and flawless appearance, the statue was definitely not made from materials carelessly and by just any craftsman. The statue of the Goddess of compassion opened her hands to give blessings.
After seeing what Consort Su had brought besides the toy gift that was despised for being considered worthless, they all fell silent unable to say anything more. Their gift that they had previously felt confident shows it now looks possible. Even when compared to the gift that Queen Zhu had given before.
"Mother, this is really beautiful." Lu Jing Yu couldn't help but praise him the first time she saw him.
"I personally came to the Su residence earlier and asked your grandfather to give you the heavenly jade that is a treasure of the Su family to make it. To make it take almost half a year. I have also shown it to Monk Ye Gui of the Prosperous Temple on top of Mount Giza to ask for his blessing. Put this statue of the Goddess inside the ancestral altar in your new residence." Clearly Consort Su.
"Of course mom. Thank you for this very meaningful gift. Mom was always so good to me."
"We're family now. No need to mention." Concubine Su patted Lu Jing Yu's shoulder once more before she retreated to give way to the other women.
Queen Zhu was in a bad mood since the beginning of the ceremony. Zhu Man Xie, his dear son-in-law turned out to be just a poison and a pest who perched and sucked out the residence of King Yuan. She even fed the concubines Pei Qin Yang with barren herbs after she forcibly aborted the fetuses that the concubines contained just to make sure that her husband would only have children from her that made pei Qin Yang's residence until now still had no good news at all. Remembering it always made her so angry that the young blood would surge in the next second.
"It was Princess Shixian Her Majesty The Queen. Reportedly she was sent to the Shao Empire in addition to attending the Crown Prince's coronation event, also to get a husband in this event." Queen Zhu's confidant whispered in her ear and returned her from her daydreaming realm as Xian Mu Xuan advanced and gave the gift she had brought from Shixian.
"It's worth what they do. They take advantage of someone's event for their benefit. But it's okay, I'll get it. Later pass on my message to her and have her come to the Phoenix pavilion to meet me after the event."
"Yes Her Majesty the Queen. I will soon do the duty of the servant."
"Hem. Go." Queen Zhu waved her hand.
Xian Mu Xuan gave the southern sea pearl as well as some other precious items. Which makes everyone praise him. All the gifts he brought were luxury items that were not only expensive but also rarely obtained.
"It deserves to be an Empire comparable to the Shao Empire. The gift they gave the little prince was very generous."
"They are a great Empire. If their gifts were not good wouldn't it be bad in the eyes of other Empires and they might assume the Shixian Empire had already fallen poor after all."
"But from what I heard, the prince and princess of the Shixian Empire came this time not only to attend the coronation but also to see if there was a suitable partner for them. Lest they give a lot of gifts to persuade their daughter to marry the Crown Prince."
"Sat... Don't talk carelessly. If anyone hears we'll get in trouble here."
"Greetings Crown Princess Shao. The servant is the daughter of the Shixian Empire. Xian Mu Xuan." Xian Mu Xuan bowed merely in front of Lu Jing Yu. As a princess
"Please wake up Princess. You are a guest of this Empire."
"Thank you Your Majesty. I have heard that Crown Princess Shao is a very beautiful person, after meeting personally I discovered that Crown Princess Shao is not only beautiful but also humble. No wonder all the people adore you so much."
"Princess Shixian is too complimentary."
"Eh...?" Lu Jing Yu was surprised. He had not expected that Xian Mu Xuan would so blatantly convey his intentions in front of the many people watching. Is he not afraid of judging people?
"Ehem. I just just talk. I used to speak what was in my heart at the first moment without thinking. Please don't put it in your heart." Xian Mu Xuan was also aware that what he would say would have a huge impact on everyone. So he immediately cleared his throat and explained himself even though what he said was not a joke at all.
"It's not why Princess Shixian. That's not a big deal either."
"It's a pity that the Crown Prince loved the Crown Princess deeply and refused the other girl to enter his courtyard. Otherwise Princess Shixian will be able to serve the Crown Prince together with the Crown Princess as a brother. But Shixian's daughter did not have to worry if she wanted to become a family for the Crown Princess because even though the other Kings had a legitimate wife, the Prince of the Five, she said, that is my own son Pei Qin Yang still does not have a legal wife." Queen Zhu first reminded Xian Mu Xuan that Pei Zhang Xi would not accept her in her residence and even if insisting would only be a concubine who according to her pride and pride was impossible to accept low position like that. Then he would give Xian Mu Xuan a solution according to his true purpose.
"Thank you for Your Majesty Queen Zhu. But I'm just a girl who can't define my marriage. I still have to rely on the elders to get the right match for me."
"That's great. A girl has to be good at taking care of herself."
Xian Mu Xuan didn't want to talk too much with queen Zhu. He already knew about Pei Qin Yang's status that had been passed down. How could she marry a prince who had almost no status at all whereas all she needed to restore her father's affection for her, she had to marry a man of high status?
Pei Zhi Hui finally fell asleep in the middle of the gift-giving event after Lu Jing Yu gave him ASI. Even until the event ended the handsome baby was still soundly asleep on Lu Jing Yu's lap.
After the naming ceremony was over, everyone returned to the page that had been prepared for the guests while waiting for the Crown Prince's Coronation to be held the evening. Likewise, Lu Jing Yu brought Pei Zhi Hui who was still soundly asleep to the Eastern palace which had been prepared for Pei Zhang Xi's residence after officially becoming the Crown Prince. In the future until he ascends the throne and becomes Emperor, he and his family will live there.
"Mr Princess, the emissary from Queen Zhu came to deliver the message." Xian Mu Xuan's servant reported to her in the afternoon.
Hearing his report, Xian Mu Xuan massaged his throbbing temple. "Was he so desperate that he went crazy and thought that I would accept his son who did not have any qualifications? Huh!" Xian Mu Xuan muttered.
"Daughter, I understand what Princess means. But it would not be good if the Princess refused blatantly. Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince is always watching over you." The servant had followed Xian Mu Xuan since he was young and knew how tempering his master was.
"Huh! I-i know. Then, let him in." He said with annoyance.
