Chapter 353 I want the right to develop a mine

"Princess Yongchen's pipa is so exquisite! I admire you, admire you!"

Sheng Zhiyao clasped her fists at the Emperor of Western Chu, with a humble smile on her face: "I am grateful for the praise."

This ending caught Zihua off guard. She originally thought that Sheng Zhiyao would make a fool of herself today, but she didn't expect that she would win.

"Hmph! The princess is so hidden! "Zihua gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.

Sheng Zhiyao shrugged: "Grand Princess, I said you know myself better than me. Even if I know the guqin and the pipa, you know it!"

This sentence choked Zihua again. She snorted coldly without wishing to be outdone: "I remember you!" After saying that, she turned her sleeves and left the seat.

"Hey! Why are you leaving?" Zihua just took a step and was pulled by Zilang to the corner of her clothes.

"Let go!" Zihua shouted fiercely, and Zilang was so scared that he let go of his hand.

Zihua shook her sleeves and left the hall with noble and elegant steps.

"Your Majesty, this wounded moon should belong to me, right?" Sheng Zhiyao looked at the Emperor of Western Chu with a bright smile on her face.

The Emperor of Xichu was slightly stunned: "If you win, this piano will naturally be yours. I will order someone to send it to the inn where you stay."

"Then thank your majesty for your kindness!" Sheng Zhiyao knelt down and thanked him, then looked at Zi Lang.

Zi Lang felt her gaze and took a step back with fear: "What do you want to do?"

Sheng Zhiyao curled her lips and smiled evilly: "I don't want to do anything, but I suddenly became interested. I don't know what you want to compete. Even if you let the horse come over, since you are looking for me to compete, please bring your bets."

Zi Lang was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly shouted, "Father, listen to what she said!"

The Emperor of Western Chu's face darkened: "Princess Yongchen, don't be too slander!"

"Is that so? Your Majesty thinks I'm aggressive?" Sheng Zhiyao said casually, "You might as well think about who is bullying whom!"

The veins on the forehead of the Western Chu Emperor burst into tears, but he finally suppressed his anger and said lightly: "Since that's the case, let me take a look at the princess's other talents!"

Sheng Zhiyao raised her eyebrows, "This is simple! What does Your Majesty want to see? You said."

The Emperor of Western Chu looked at Sheng Zhiyao: "I heard that Princess Yongchen challenged all the imperial physicians of Shangzhou Tai Hospital by herself, and I was very curious about where Princess Yongchen got her confidence."

"This matter is not a secret. Just a little check will tell that I rely on my own strength." Sheng Zhiyao smiled, "I wonder what Your Majesty wants me to show?"

"In this way, I will give Princess Yongchen a test!" The Emperor of Western Chu thought for a while and said, "Just write poetry, songs and essays! I wonder if Princess Yongchen is good at?"

Sheng Zhiyao blinked her big eyes and asked in a little puzzled manner: "Is this to test my literary skills?"

The Emperor of Western Chu nodded: "That's right."

"Ask me about medical skills? Let me write poetry?"

"What do you care about my father's advice to you? Just do it." Zi Lang looked impatient.

"Shut up! Do you understand the reason why others don't interrupt? Or is your mother not teaching you?" Sheng Zhiyao stared at Zi Lang coldly, her eyes full of mockery.

This sentence pierced into Zilang's heart like a thorn. She immediately burst into tears and rushed to Sheng Zhiyao and shouted: "You are talking nonsense! My mother is gentle and virtuous, and she is both talented and beautiful..."

"Okay, shut up!" Zi Han hurriedly stopped his sister, "Princess Yongchen is also ready to stop. Although my sister is spoiled and willful, she is not a bad person in nature. She is just young and doesn't know how to behave. Why should you hold on to it?

I also talked about my mother? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with my sister. If you want to vent your anger, come to me!"

Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Zi Han, diverted her gaze and fell on the Emperor of Western Chu: "What is Your Majesty going to use as a lottery?"

"I am not short of things, what do you say you want." The Emperor of Western Chu spoke calmly, and he could not hear joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Oh? Then I want your Majesty to reward me, I'm afraid your Majesty will not be willing to do it?" Sheng Zhiyao blinked her eyes and asked naughtyly.

These words made everyone here amused, and the face of the Emperor Xi Chu became much softer.

"Princess Yongchen, let's talk," he asked with interest.

"I want the right to develop a mine." Sheng Zhiyao said this and felt the air frozen instantly, and everyone's expressions became stiff.

The right to develop mines can be said to be an important asset of Western Chu. In addition to the army, these mines are the most important. Therefore, there are many treasures in the Western Chu treasury, and the Western Chu emperor is indeed not short of treasures.

Sheng Zhiyao's request not only shocked the Emperor of Western Chu, but also shocked the people present that she dared to blatantly ask for such a valuable thing.

Is this arguing that life is too long? No, she is declaring war on the entire Western Chu!

This madman! Everyone thought to themselves.

The face of the Emperor Xichu became gloomy: "Does Princess Yongchen know what she is talking about?"

"Of course I know! If Your Majesty is unwilling to agree, then even if I lose this game, the wounded moon will be returned to Your Majesty. Anyway, I don't lack these things." Sheng Zhiyao looked at Zi Lang and Zi Han contemptuously with a look of contempt.

, without hesitation, turned around and walked back to sit down, looking like he was waiting for the verdict.

"Slow down!" Emperor Xi Chu said to stop her, "Why do you want the right to develop the mine veins?"

Sheng Zhiyao looked up and looked straight into his eyes: "Because you are wasting resources, the gems you dug out are beautiful but they are not useful for the full amount."

The Emperor of Western Chu frowned when he heard this: "I don't understand what you are talking about? What else can these gems do besides decorating?"

Sheng Zhiyao stood up and said loudly: "There are thirty-five mines in the Western Chu State, but there are 240,000 kilograms of gems that are large and small every year, and you have sold 40,000 kilograms of them! And the rest

Yes, you will use a portion of these gems to make jewelry or sculptures, and the income will be used as reserves for the national treasury!"

The Emperor of Western Chu looked violently turbulent: "You actually..."

"Your Majesty, don't be surprised. I believe you Xi Chu knows Shang Zhou well!" Sheng Zhiyao continued slowly, "I want the right to develop the mine, not in the name of Shang Zhou, but in my personal name.

"

"Absurd! Extremely absurd!" The Emperor of Western Chu was furious, "A yellow-haired girl actually tried to covet the treasures of our Western Chu. You are such a fool!"

"Your Majesty, you're thinking too much! I'll show you something, you'll know after reading it." Sheng Zhiyao took out a sapphire ring from her cuff with a smile.

The Emperor of Western Chu glared at Sheng Zhiyao suspiciously, and then ordered the guards to present the ring to him.
