Chapter 173
"Okay, since the emperor said so, then I'll wait and see, but I'm going back to Chen country tomorrow, if I can't get my jade pendant back before tomorrow, what explanation do you plan to give me?"

Hearing this, Huangfuyu showed a bit of embarrassment, and he knew in his heart that this might be Ningxiang's trap, so he couldn't guarantee that he would find the jade pendant.

Just when Huangfuyu was in trouble, Qianzhu who had been standing silently at the side suddenly walked up to Ningxiang, and said, "My servant thinks that the princess should give the emperor an explanation."

Hearing this, Ningxiang looked at Jianzhu suspiciously, and when she saw that she called herself a slave, she was filled with disdain, and sneered, "Oh? This princess wants to hear your opinion."

Zhizhu's sudden words successfully diverted everyone's attention to her, and Huangfu Yifan winked at Jinzhu nervously, signaling her not to be aggressive at this time.

Seeing this, Jinzhu only smiled at Huangfu Yifan, and then looked at Ningxiang without any fear: "If my servant remembers correctly, one month ago Chen Guo used the excuse that the harvest was not good and the treasury was too shy, so Asked for a reduction in the amount of tribute this year, and the emperor generously agreed,
But just now the princess said that your father hired the best jade maker in the Chen Kingdom to make a jade pendant for the princess with high-quality materials. May I ask how the cash-strapped Emperor Chen Guo can spend such a sky-high price to make a jade pendant for the princess?Could it be said that paying tribute means that the pockets are shy, and the rest of the time the treasury is full? "

Ningxiang's face changed after what Jinzhu said, but she still explained in a forced way: "I didn't say that the price was sky-high, it's just——it's just that I hired a slightly better master."

Ningxiang's powerless explanation is obviously useless, Jinzhu smiled, and suddenly said seriously: "Everyone has heard what the princess said just now, if the princess's current words are true, then what did the princess just say?" Didn't she commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, doesn't the princess know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?"

Jin Zhu's words were pressing each other, Ning Xiang was finally defeated, so she had to pretend to think of it suddenly: "Oh, I remembered, I took off that jade pendant when I was changing clothes, and put it in my sleeve Just now, my mind was confused and I didn't think about it, please don't blame the emperor."

Everyone present here naturally knows that she is stepping down for themselves, but after all, she is a princess of a country, so Huangfuyu naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her, and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, let's stop here, other things I won't pursue it anymore."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After speaking, Ning Xiang had no choice but to sit down with an ugly face.

At this time, everyone looked in admiration at the bamboo that solved the crisis with just a few words, and Huangfu Yu also looked at the bamboo with admiration, and Huangfu Yifan was even more proud, as if he was more excited than his own limelight .

And Shang Zhengyu couldn't help looking at Jianzhu with a complicated expression. Now she feels that this Zhizhu is not simple, it is definitely not as simple as ordinary people, and there must be a reason for her being so prominent today.

If she guessed right, she probably didn't want to stay by Huangfu Yifan's side as a maid, but what she wanted to do was something Shang Zhengyu couldn't figure out.

After eating, Ning Xiang naturally had no face to stay here, so she left in a hurry with the envoy.

After Ning Xiang left, Huangfuyu also decreed that Qingzhu should be made the princess, which surprised Shang Zhengyu. Even if Qinzhu had meritorious service, he wouldn't be directly named princess.

It was only at the end that I found out that Chia Bamboo had risked his life to save the little prince long ago, and the Emperor intended to reward her at that time, but she refused, and this time she naturally refused, but Huangfu Yu insisted on her and she complied down.
