Chapter 2130 Gift Ring
Li Shen opened the gift list and took a look. There were local specialties, cattle, sheep, livestock, gold, silver, jade and other stones. Although the quantity was not large, it was considered a valuable gift considering their financial resources.
Handing the gift list to Chunxiang, Li Shen smiled even more:
"Alas, I came here to understand the people's sentiments, but I didn't expect to make you spend so much money.
I like your gift very much, thank you for your trouble."
"As long as His Royal Highness Prince Ji likes it, it is my honor. We are grateful that His Royal Highness Prince Ji can take time out of his busy schedule to visit us."
The chief smiled and saluted.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, I have brought some small gifts with me. I hope Your Highness will accept them."
At this time, another person stood up and took the gift list.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I have admired you for a long time, so I brought some local specialties to honor you."
"There are villains too."
"I brought the villain with me, too."
One after another, people began to stand up, took out gift lists and presented them, starting the gift-giving process.
Li Shen had never expected that there would be such a segment. He was a little surprised and had an unexpected surprise.
Li Shen opened several gift lists and took a quick look, and found that they were basically the same, with gold, silver, jade, and cattle and sheep specialties.
Jade is produced here. The jade from the Western Regions is quite famous in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shen purchased a lot of jade from the Western Regions.
When this thing arrived in the Tang Dynasty, its value increased by more than a hundred times.
Qu Zhiping and Ma Wenlin, who were sitting in the front, looked at each other, feeling very uncomfortable, thinking to themselves,
These bastards, no wonder they said they would come today, it turns out they were preparing gifts at home.
They didn't think about it at all.
The last time King Ji came here, there was no such link.
Several people looked at Qu Zhiping, who was also helpless. He really had no gifts prepared. The King of Shangji was young.
Before leaving, he gave two Tianshan Snow Mastiffs as a gift, and King Ji was very happy at that time.
But no expensive gifts were given.
"Should we also send something?" Ma Wenlin said in a low voice.
"But how can we deliver it at this time? We haven't prepared anything." Zhang Wentian responded in a low voice.
"Oh, none of these people notified us. What bastards." Ma Wenlin cursed.
The two looked at Qu Baochang. Qu Baochang noticed that someone was looking at him, so he turned around and asked:
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Baochang, let's discuss how to deal with this later." Ma Wenlin lowered his voice, fearing that someone would hear him.
"How about we just say that we have prepared the gifts and deliver them personally later?" Zhang Wentian suggested.
After hearing this, Qu Zhiping nodded and said, "That's the only way. We must not neglect Prince Ji."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ma Wenlin looked at Qu Baochang:
"Baochang, what do you think?"
The four people must speak with one voice, otherwise if they say different things later, they will be exposed.
Qu Baochang looked at Qu Zhiping, then at Zhang Wentian and Ma Wenlin, and then shook his head:
"No, I have prepared a gift. You can choose yourselves."
"What do you say?"
"Have you prepared a gift?"
When the three heard what Qu Baochang said, their eyes widened and their jaws dropped in shock.
"Yes, I prepared it overnight. How can I meet His Royal Highness Prince Ji empty-handed? It's so rude."
Qu Baochang said with a serious expression as a matter of course.
Hearing this, the three of them turned pale with anger.
"You are so bad, Qu Baochang. Why didn't you inform us when you prepared the gifts?" Ma Wenlin complained.
"You bastard, aren't you trying to embarrass us?" Zhang Wentian echoed.
Qu Zhiping was almost mad at his good nephew. You said you didn't tell anyone else, but you should at least tell me.
I prepared the gift without telling anyone. Isn't this just embarrassing myself on purpose?
"Qu Baochang, ah Qu Baochang, your father died early, you must not forget who raised you.
Now that you have grown up, is this how you repay your uncle?"
"Uncle, please calm down. I prepared the gift mainly because I wanted His Royal Highness Prince Ji to send troops to rescue Aya as soon as possible. I have no other intention.
I didn’t expect that they all prepared gifts.”
Qu Baochang looked innocent.
“You…”
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I have also prepared some small gifts..."
Qu Zhiping was about to scold him, but Qu Baochang stood up immediately before he could finish, took out the gift list and handed it to him.
Qu Zhiping and the others were so angry that they were fuming.
Except for the three of them, everyone else handed in their gift lists. Li Shen only looked at the first few, and as for the rest, he just smiled and said a few polite words, and then asked Chunxiang to put the gift lists away.
Just as the three of them were feeling nervous, Li Shen looked over and four words were written in his eyes: Where are your gifts?
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, I didn't prepare a gift list. I got a large piece of jade last year, which is of high quality. I want to personally present it to Your Highness later."
Qu Zhiping stood up and saluted.
"Mr. Qu is too polite. Please forget about such an expensive gift." Li Shen immediately smiled and waved his hand.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I, like Governor Qu, was originally planning to personally present something to Your Highness later. What I am presenting is a Tianshan Snow Lotus." Ma Wenlin also stood up.
Tianshan Snow Lotus? Li Shen's eyes lit up. This was a rare item, and even with the financial resources of Prince Ji's Mansion, they couldn't get many.
A large piece of jade and Tianshan Snow Lotus. Li Shen was a little curious about Zhang Wentian’s gift. What precious thing could it be?
At this moment, Zhang Wentian kept asking questions about the relatives of the two people in his heart. Are these two crazy? They took such precious things. What should he do?
Seeing Prince Ji looking at him, Zhang Wentian became extremely nervous and thought hard, because he didn't have any treasures.
The scene suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Wentian.
Zhang Wentian's face turned red. He held it in for a long time, and finally shouted:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I have two daughters of marriageable age. They are old enough to get married. I am willing to give them to Your Highness as maids. I hope Your Highness Prince Ji will not abandon them."
After hearing this, Li Shen was stunned for three seconds, then waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, you are too polite. This gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it. I cannot accept it."
Wow, whatever you wish for comes true. I just thought about bringing a beautiful woman back yesterday and someone sent her one today.
But I'm not ready yet.
He has so many beautiful wives and concubines at home, and drinking yogurt instead of mineral water every day. How can he cope with it?
I took a lot of medicine when I got home, otherwise I would have died on the battlefield long ago.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, I am sincere and thoughtful. Your Highness has been waiting for me wholeheartedly, and I have no way to repay you.
I am willing to offer my two daughters to you as slaves and servants to serve His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Zhang Wentian bowed and said sincerely.
"I appreciate Chief Zhang's kindness, but you also know that my status is special and I need His Majesty's approval.
Besides, I have many things to do and I work hard day and night, so it is really inconvenient."
Alas~~~ I don’t want to die on the battlefield, but I wish my heroic name will live forever in the world.
