Chapter 291: Congratulations From All Sides (2)
“Presenting the gifts——”
The palace eunuch announced, and someone quickly delivered the list to Chang Xi’s hand . He opened it and began to announce the gift .
As the names of those exquisite treasures were announced one by one, the people standing behind Shang Mingxi also unveiled the gifts one by one .
The room was filled with treasures for the moment and people gasped in surprise as each gift was unveiled .
Most of the gifts were things that are only present in Yu Qi and not in Da Yu, so the items appeared to seem especially precious .
The emperor smiled and rewarded some gifts that were just as valuable, displaying the wealth and demeanor of Da Yu .
“Tell your Empress Dowager that I send my regards . ”
Gong Cheng naturally knew who the real mastermind behind Yu Qi . However, if he said that out loud in such an occasion that a woman was in power in Yu Qi, Yu Qi’s people definitely wouldn’t be happy . This was another form of pressure .
However, it seemed like Shang Mingxi didn’t feel awkward or embarrassed at all . He saluted naturally and elegantly .
“Thank you, Your Majesty for the rewards . This official will definitely bring the emperor’s words over!”
After Yu Qi, it was Yu Heng .

Likewise, he also gifted an extravagant congratulatory gift . Yet Gong Jue noticed that the leader would glance at his ordinary subordinate from time to tim . He subconsciously took this to his heart .
When it was Lou Ye’s turn, things turned a bit subtle .
After all, he had almost begun a war but Da Yu had easily diffused the conflict…
Gong Jue obtained 50,000 imperial guards from this unrivaled power! He had a revered status . It could be said that he was above everyone but below one person . But this was based on the foundation that Lou Ye had suffered greatly from it . His people couldn’t help but wish to kill him off .
The leader was a man with a beard . He glanced at everyone with a cruel and harsh gaze, making the situation awkward . The people by his side said something in his ears at the right moment . He directly locked his gaze with Gong Jue because of this . The two looked straight at each other across the vast banquet room, not letting one another!

The emperor’s face became serious and gloomy . He didn’t want to go to war but he wasn’t afraid of her! Lou Ye always had a greedy heart . He had been interested in the fertile mainland China for a while . It wasn’t one or two days that he was after it . Though they had no idea what they were planning today .
As the gifts were offered as tributes, people shockingly realized that none of their gifts were missing . Gong Cheng pondered deeply for a moment and decided to gift them a more extravagant gift back . Who knew that the leader with a beard waved his hands and rejected his reward .
“Da Yu’s emperor, we have gifted you a birthday gift for two reasons . For one, we wanted to congratulate you and second, we want to ask for a specific gift in return . ”
The emperor slightly raised his eyebrows, secretly unhappy with his bluntness .
“Oh? What do you want?”
That person laughed and pointed at Gong Jue! “Da Yu’s Ninth Prince has three life medals belonged to our country’s officials . Without the life medals, their souls can’t rest in peace . Therefore, I want to ask the emperor to gift life medals to me as a reward so that I can give it back to its rightful owner!”

At least he was awake and didn’t ask for anything too excessive . He just asked for the life medals . It was basically Lou Ye’s humiliation! They clearly remembered how that guy easily defused the conflict in that battle . They were basically trying to maintain the last of their face by asking for the life medals as they had been crushed to dust during the battle .
The emperor didn’t hesitate that much before he gave it back to them . He regarded Gong Jue highly . He was just a boy but had done so many things for him in silence . He made Lou Ye lose their face which helped him vent his anger .
But thinking of how someone said Gong Jue had hidden Gong Yimo… he had no idea of the validity of the sentence .
The dancing and singer continued still .
The gifts after were very stunning too . From time to time, people gasped in shock . But when Prince Nan brought up his gift, Gong Jue slightly paid attention . Towards Gong Yimo’s random confidence, he believed in her . Everything she said had its own reasoning .
