Chapter 121 King of Chu, you've been deceived.

Knowing that the border region of Daliang was suffering from a famine and the national treasury urgently needed silver to alleviate the difficulties of the border people, the King of Chu presented His Majesty with several chests of gold as a birthday gift, hoping His Majesty would accept it with pleasure.

At this moment, Consort Liu stepped in to smooth things over.

Several boxes of gold!

God knows, her heart was bleeding when she said those words!

However, in order to salvage the position of the Prince of Chu in Emperor Wenjian's heart, she had no choice but to do so.

Sure enough, Emperor Wenjian's originally composed expression softened considerably after hearing Consort Liu mention sending him several boxes of gold.

Who doesn't like money?

Especially recently, the national treasury is indeed short of money.

Xiao Churen's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally relaxed. He was glad that he hadn't mentioned that the painting was a birthday gift for his father, the emperor, or he would have been accused of deceiving the emperor.

Now that the Empress Dowager is trying to cover for herself by saying that she was deceived, although everyone knows the truth, the Emperor probably won't punish her because of those boxes of gold.

However, seeing the Crown Prince receive praise from his father, he was still filled with resentment.

Then, as expected, Emperor Wenjian praised Xiao Ye again and instructed someone to carefully preserve the painting that Xiao Ye had given him.

Later, he gave Xiao Ye a lot of gifts, which made everyone present very envious.

At the same time, everyone understands that His Highness the Crown Prince's position as heir apparent is becoming increasingly secure.

At the same time, Su Liluo turned her attention to Xiao Wang, who was not very noticeable on the other side.

Because she knew that although Prince Xiao's birthday gift today was not as appealing to Emperor Wenjian as the "Ten Thousand Sons and Thousand Grandsons" painting, it was still enough to change the current political landscape of the succession struggle.
