2668: The Young Couple Has the Appetite of a Lion

The Young Couple Has the Appetite of a Lion

"Crown Prince Consort, the shrine is willing to offer one-tenth of the rights to mine spirit stone from Chess Mountain for the Holy Daughter's life." The principal guardian Wen Quan was at his wits' end and hastily took out his trump card.0

As expected, these words caused the officials in the audience hall to start whispering to each other.

That was the right to extract one-tenth of Chess Mountain's spirit stone mines. It could bring a lot of benefit to the imperial court every year.

With so many spirit stones, it was enough to replenish the spirit stone supply of a 10,000-strong elite battalion.

One of the officials standing behind the Vassal King of Jianping promptly elbowed the latter in the waist.

However, the Vassal King of Jianping's face had darkened, and he did not want to speak.

Didn't he suffer enough at the young couple's hands already?

Whoever spoke would be out of luck!

It wasn't like he was an idiot. Why should he jump out and be that bird that stuck its head out?

The Kang Prince was standing beside the Vassal King of Jianping. When he saw the latter's prideful expression that said "I'm holding it in, I'm holding it in, I'm holding it in with all my might," he secretly twitched his mouth. He thought: /His youngest brother's IQ has skyrocketed! He actually didn't jump out to criticize the crown prince consort for today's incident. It was evident that he had started to use his brain!/

Regardless of the Kang Prince's roasting, the Vassal King of Jianping stood there composedly and watched the show without budging.

You've got to be joking, right? Dissing the Crown Prince Consort?! He still freakin' owed debt to the Crown Prince Consort! Wasn't dissing her right now asking to get dissed back? Moreover, he would definitely be forced to pay back his debt in advance.

Humph! He wasn't going to say it. Whoever wanted to fight for this tenth of the spirit stone mine for the imperial court could f*cking do it themselves!

The official behind the Vassal King of Jianping was a bit anxious. He cast a sidelong glance at the imperial censors behind him. When he saw that they were all keeping their heads and eyes down, obviously not going to speak, he couldn't help but be stifled.

What was going on with these censors who usually ended up jumping up and down to berate people?

Recently, they were so well-behaved that it was practically puzzling.

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao turned to look at the crown prince, but the latter shook his head at her and said, "Whatever you want."

Evidently, to Crown Prince Mo, that one-tenth of the extracting rights to the spirit stone mine did not amount to a single hair on his wife's head.

All the officials silently glanced at His Highness the Crown Prince.

His Highness's doting attitude toward his wife was going to reach the heavens!

The Minister of the Left, Sir Chen Zhaozhi, was over 50 years old and had a strong and muscular body. Seeing that no one dared to come out and speak, he stepped out from the group and bowed toward the emperor. "Your Majesty, this official believes that the shrine's conditions can be considered."

The emperor waved his hand. "Let the crown prince handle this matter himself."

Hence, everybody simultaneously shut their mouths.

The emperor's words clearly showed his protectiveness.

This meant that the crown prince and his wife would have full authority over the shrine's matters.

It was the crown prince and his wife's decision whether they accepted this compensation or not.

Chen Zhaozhi knitted his brows and turned to cup his hands toward Crown Prince Mo. "Your Highness, for us, the right to extract one-tenth of the spirit stone mine on Chess Mountain…"

"Half." Qiao Mu suddenly interrupted Chen Zhaozhi, her crisp voice ringing in the audience hall.

"You also have to give us two spots for the Lunisolar secret realm," the Crown Prince added quietly.

Qiao Mu turned to glance at the Crown Prince.

Even though she didn't know what the Lunisolar secret realm was, Hubby must have said it for a reason.

The principal guardian of the Lunisolar Shrine was so livid that his entire body shook from anger. Even the tips of his fingers were trembling uncontrollably!

He was infuriated by the couple's demands.

The appetite of a lion—this was definitely the appetite of a lion!
