Chapter 1041 Proposal
By the way, Yan Li and the others have already hidden back in the princess's mansion, and have set up several layers of soundproofing barriers around it.
Old Master Liu and the others couldn't stand it anymore and rushed into the princess's mansion.
That day, Yan Li and her friends were drinking tea in the princess's mansion when the emperor's personal eunuch came hurriedly.
"Eunuch Xi, what's wrong with you? Are you anxious?" Princess Cai Yue looked at him with amusement.
"Princess, this is worse than a burn on your butt." Eunuch Xi said quickly.
"What happened that is so serious?" Princess Cai Yue immediately became serious when she heard this.
"The leader of the Ling Sect has brought the young master of the Ling Sect to propose marriage." Lord Xi said.
"What? Propose marriage in person? Propose to whom?" Princess Cai Yue was very surprised.
"Princess Cai Mei, they just asked for five treasure mountains as dowry." Eunuch Xi replied.
"What? The treasure mountain belongs to the Liu family, how can it be given to Cai Mei as a dowry? I think they are dreaming." Princess Cai Yue slammed the table and stood up.
"The key point is that now that Princess Cai Mei knows that Xi Zhao is willing to marry her, she has been asking the emperor to agree to Lingzong's request." Eunuch Xi frowned when he said this.
I have to say that Princess Cai Mei is extremely love-brained and doesn't care about her old father's life or death at all.
"As for the matter of digging treasure mountains, even my father has no right to make the decision. Besides, is Cai Mei worth five treasure mountains? She is really asking for too much." Princess Cai Yue complained.
"Yuer, I've also received a message from the emperor. Let's go into the palace and take a look." Old Master Liu walked in.
He has been hiding in the princess's mansion these days to avoid being poisoned by Princess Cai Mei's accusations.
"Li'er, do you want to go to the palace to watch a play together?" Princess Cai Yue looked at Yan Li.
"Okay." Yan Li nodded.
Everyone left the princess's mansion and headed towards the imperial palace.
Yan Li and the others arrived at the palace and found that quite a few people from the Lingzong had come.
"Yan Li..." As soon as Yan Li and the others walked in, the leader of Ling Sect's eyes fell on Yan Li.
"Are we familiar with each other? It's really rude to call each other by our full names." Yan Li rolled her eyes at him and sat down in a random seat.
Lingzong Sect Master: ...
She is indeed a flamboyant and arrogant woman.
"Master Xi, the matter of digging the treasure mountain is decided by Old Man Liu. You can discuss it with him yourself." The emperor directly threw the question to Old Man Liu.
"What do you want to discuss?" Old Master Liu sat down next to Yan Li.
"We are here to propose marriage to Princess Cai Mei, but our condition is that the Jubao Kingdom must give us five treasure-digging mountains as a dowry." Sect Leader Xi went straight to the point.
"A dowry of five treasure mountains? I wonder what your Ling Sect offers as betrothal gift?" Yan Li was very curious.
"Dowry?" The Ling Sect's leader was stunned when he heard that.
It seems like I have never thought about this question.
"No way, no way, you Lingzong can't be so shameless that you don't even prepare a betrothal gift and want to get something for nothing." Yan Li exclaimed.
“This…” The Ling Sect’s leader was speechless for a moment.
"You actually dared to ask Jubao Country to give five treasure-digging mountains as a dowry. I guess you have also prepared a betrothal gift of equal value?" Yan Li asked a soul-searching question again.
The leader of Lingzong fell silent after hearing this!
I'm not really interested in getting married, so how could I possibly prepare a betrothal gift of equal value?
"Besides, our Princess Cai Mei is so important, you can't treat her unfairly, right?" Yan Li pointed at Princess Cai Mei standing aside.
Princess Cai Mei raised her chin with pride when she heard this.
She suddenly realized that Yan Li was really a nice person. Not only did he lend her the loudspeaker so that he could call Xi Zhao back, he also spoke well of her.
"This..." The leader of Lingzong was a little troubled.
"We can give her the position of Young Master's Wife." Xi Zhao suddenly spoke.
It seemed as if the position of the young master's wife was a gift to Princess Cai Mei.
Princess Cai Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this!
"The position of the young master's wife is still in your Lingzong." Yan Li couldn't help but complain.
"Needless to say, if you want other dowries, the emperor will help prepare them. If you covet my Liu family's treasure mountain, forget it." Old Master Liu said coldly.
The reason why he didn't get angry immediately was because he knew Yan Li wanted to play. Since she wanted to play, he would not spoil her fun.
"Grandpa Liu, this concerns Princess Cai Mei's lifelong event, you must consider it carefully." Sect Master Xi looked at Grandpa Liu.
"What a joke! What does Princess Cai Mei have to do with my Liu family? You should go and tell the emperor this, or wait for her grandfather to come back and talk to him properly." Old Master Liu said in a very cold tone.
"If this succeeds, our Lingzong will be connected with Jubao Kingdom in the future. You guard your four treasure-digging mountains, and we guard our five treasure-digging mountains. Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace?" The leader of Lingzong stated his purpose.
"You are so bold to say that." A hint of sarcasm appeared on Old Man Liu's lips.
"Master Xi, please go away. We can't agree to this condition." The emperor also expressed his attitude.
He asked someone to invite Mr. Liu over just to make himself more confident.
"Father, how can you do this? What should I do?" Princess Cai Mei became anxious when she heard this.
"What should I do? Even if I can't get married, I can't pay five mountains of treasure to marry her." The emperor said coldly.
Yan Li: ...
Whoever married Princess Cai Mei would indeed be wronged, but given the opportunity of paying five treasure mountains for the privilege, many people would probably be willing to accept this injustice.
"You will regret it. Let's go." The leader of Lingzong said and led his men away.
"Master Xi, there are assassins all along the way, you must take care of yourself, otherwise I'm worried that you will die before I distribute all my sacred-level pills." Yan Li shouted to Master Xi's back.
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Xi slipped and almost lost his composure, cursing Yan Li in his heart for being so wicked.
"Puchi... Girl Yan, you are really making me angry to death." Old Master Liu couldn't help laughing when he heard that.
"Father, what should I do?" Princess Cai Mei simply lay on the ground and refused to get up.
"Princess Cai Mei, everyone can see that Xi Zhao doesn't like you. He just wants to dig up treasures." Yan Li looked at Princess Cai Mei lying on the ground with helplessness on her face.
"I know, but he is the first man who is willing to be close to me, and he is so handsome, I..." Princess Cai Mei couldn't help but redden her eyes.
Perhaps only a fat man can understand his sadness.
"Take this pill back and take it. I guarantee you'll lose weight and get a perfect body." Yan Li handed Princess Cai Mei a pill and said.
"Really?" Princess Cai Mei's eyes were full of excitement.
"I never lie." Yan Li looked at her with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Princess Cai Mei took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
"Wait...it's too late, retreat quickly..." Yan Li shouted and ran wildly towards the back.
Seeing this, the others also quickly followed her and ran away.
