Zhu Yunhao's Little Abacus
"Yun Ren greets Ninth Imperial Uncle."
After Zhu Yunhao entered the hall, he first came to Zhu Li and bowed. He was quite polite.
"Have a seat."
Zhu Li nodded and let Zhu Yunhao sit down.
"I am Minister of War Tang Duo, paying my respects to the King of Han!”
At this moment, Tang Duo had also arrived in front of Zhu Li. As he spoke, his eyes were also sizing up Zhu Li.
Tang Duo, from Fengyang, was a typical member of Huaixi's political group.
Although he had not reached the heights of Lan Yu and the others, nor did he have any title of nobility, he was still considered to be doing quite well among Huaixi's people.
Since Zhu Yunhao came with Tang Duo, it was intriguing.
Was he trying to use Huaixi Group to cause trouble?
Zhu Li was also sizing up the Minister of War in front of him. He had a rough idea of what was going on.
He wasn't sure if Zhu Yunhao was up to something, but this guy definitely wanted to be in the limelight, so he deliberately pulled Tang Duo, the backbone of Huaixi Group, into the picture.
And he was her nephew.
As long as he said that my Ninth Imperial Uncle is also here to celebrate his birthday, I, as a junior, will naturally have to come. No one can find any reason to do so.
"Minister Yang, I came in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare a generous gift. Please don't mind this little gesture!”
After greeting Zhu Li, Tang Duo took out a birthday gift that he had prepared and handed it directly to Yang Qi.
Because of Tang Duo's actions, the others also began to take out the birthday gifts that they had prepared.
It had to be said that this group of officials was really rich.
Zhu Li felt that he was really poor again when he heard the officials of the Yang family singing the congratulatory gifts sent by the officials.
As a prince of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't even afford a decent congratulatory gift, let alone precious pearls, agates, antique calligraphy, and paintings.
When almost all the gifts were sent, Tang Duo suddenly stared at Zhu Li with a deep meaning and said with a smile,"Yesterday, the Emperor betrothed the Han King and Minister Yang's daughter. In the future, Minister Yang and the Han King can be considered family. I wonder what gift the King of Han has prepared for your future father-in-law today? Why not take it out and let everyone see it?”
Zhu Li, who was struggling with his own poverty, suddenly heard Tang Duo's words and was immediately filled with black lines.
Was this Tang Duo here to find trouble?
Hearing this, Yang Qi's smile froze. Just as he was about to open his mouth to help, Zhu Li raised his hand and stopped him.
"You want to see this king's birthday gift?"
Zhu Li asked with a half-smile.
"This lowly official is only curious. If I am rude, please forgive me, Han King!”
Tang Duo explained with a smile.
"Curious? You're curious, so this king has to cooperate with you? Who do you think you are?"
Zhu Li's smile disappeared instantly and he asked bluntly.
Upon hearing this, the entire place burst into an uproar. No one had expected that Zhu Li, the King of Han, would actually lose his temper and not give Tang Duo any face.
Was this the rhythm of falling out directly?
"King of Han, this lowly official is the Minister of War. Aren't your words a little too much?”
Tang Duo's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
He did not expect the Han King to be so stubborn!
"Overboard? This king has even more outrageous things, do you want to try?”
Zhu Li narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall froze to the extreme.
Tang Duo was somewhat regretful.
He was also caught by Zhu Yunhao to cooperate at the last minute. He wanted to help him step on the Han King's face, but he did not expect the Han King to be a hothead and directly go against him!
Where is your bearing as a prince?
Didn't I just ask you to give me a gift? Is there a need to make such a fuss?
"That…Ninth Imperial Uncle, Minister Tang was just joking with you. For the sake of nephew, let's forget about this matter? Please don't be angry."
At this moment, Zhu Yunhao finally got up to mediate the situation.
"Haha…Are you kidding me?"
Zhu Li was so angry that he laughed. How could he not see through Zhu Yunhao's little thoughts?
He had really expected that these two brothers would take turns to cause trouble for him.
"How about this? I'll start first. I believe that the gift I've prepared will definitely not be comparable to the Ninth Imperial Uncle.”
Zhu Yunhao smiled slightly, then took a gift box from one of his followers and handed it directly to Yang Qi.
How could Yang Qi dare to accept Zhu Yunjian's gift at this time?
It was simply impossible to get off the tiger. His gaze swept back and forth between the uncle and nephew.
"Lord Yang, since Yunchen is so polite, we will accept it.”
Zhu Li was naturally aware of Yang Qi's awkward situation, so he didn't make things difficult for his future father-in-law.
Hearing this, Yang Qi heaved a sigh of relief and took Zhu Yunhao's gift box with a smile, thanking him repeatedly.
"You're welcome. It's just a pair of luminous pearls the size of a bull's eye. It was given to me by Imperial Grandfather.”
Towards Yang Qi's politeness, Zhu Yunhao waved his hand indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi, who was originally prepared to leave without opening the box and let the butler take it, was stunned.
The officials present were in an uproar.
No one had expected Zhu Yunhao to spend so much money on Yang Qi's birthday banquet.
One had to know that other than the royal family, ordinary high-ranking officials and nobles were not qualified to have things like luminous pearls.
Zhu Yunhao actually gave Yang Qi the Night-Luminescent Pearl that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him?
However, after the initial shock, many people immediately smelled something unusual.
Zhu Yunhao had already given him two Night-Luminescent Pearls. If what he said was true, and Zhu Li's birthday gift was better than his, how good would it be?
If Zhu Li could not come up with a better gift than the Night-Luminescent Pearl, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"My good nephew, you're really thoughtful!”
Zhu Li's eyes were cold. He stared at Zhu Li with a faint smile and could not help but shake his head.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhu Yunhao's actions were directed at him.
But compared to last night, Zhu Yunwen was more direct and straightforward. Although he was angry, he was not as angry as last night.
Because this time, he had come prepared.
"Since you all want to see the birthday gift this king has prepared so much, then this king will satisfy your curiosity!”
"Little Bean, bring me the birthday gift this king prepared!”
Zhu Li sneered and ordered Little Bean.
Although he was poor, he would still receive a portion of the rewards given by Zhu Yuanzhang to the vassal kings.
However, Zhu Li had never been interested in those fancy things.
Originally, he had intended to use the poem he had written as a congratulatory gift, but when he left the Peace Palace, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he chose two of the things that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him as a present.
Anyway, it wasn't strange to have too many gifts.
If it weren't for the fact that he was so scheming, Zhu Yunhao would have succeeded!
