Chapter 1202 - Chapter 1202 Chapter 1201 You Are Not Worth This Gold_1
Chapter 1202: Chapter 1201: You Are Not Worth This Gold_1 Chapter 1202: Chapter 1201: You Are Not Worth This Gold_1 Yang Wenxiao didn’t mention it, but someone else wanted to.
Prince Fengbao, who had just made a bold statement, suddenly felt humiliated by a weak woman in the next moment, “Your Majesty the Retired Emperor, how did this beauty acquire such divine power?! Is she actually a peerless master?!”
Yang Wenxiao lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, speaking slowly, “If you can be born with divine power, why can’t she? She doesn’t know martial arts; she just has great strength.”
“This woman’s strength is too weird! I want to compete again!” Prince Fengbao was not convinced.
“What, Prince Fengbao, as a prince of a nation, can’t you handle a loss in front of so many ministers and distinguished guests?” Yang Wenxiao said, curling his lips into a light smile, “We’re playing by your Longshi Country’s rules on the land of Daqi.”
“What rules? I just want to compete with this beauty again!”
Prince Fengbao seemed not to understand the implied meaning in Yang Wenxiao’s words, and his brown complexion flushed with urgency.
On one hand, he indeed harbored lustful thoughts towards Qiao Xiaomai, and on the other, he was truly amazed by Qiao Xiaomai’s enormous strength.
He had never seen anyone with more strength than himself in all his years.
He wanted to compete!
To compete with the beauty!
“Prince Fengbao, today is my father emperor’s birthday, and this is Daming Palace,” said Emperor Yongan, who was sitting nearby.
He looked Prince Fengbao up and down a few times and smiled with a lift of his mouth, “Even if you were unprepared, your strength is evident. She easily threw you out; do you think her strength is inferior?”
“You won’t know unless we compete!” Prince Fengbao insisted on his idea.
Qiao Xiaomai, standing on the opera stage, heard the words, raised her hand, and clapped twice. Seeing that Prince Fengbao was looking at her, she raised her voice, “We can compete again, but we need stakes; otherwise, there’s no point in competing.”
“What stakes?” Prince Fengbao asked.
“Ten million taels of gold. If you win, I’ll give you ten million taels of gold, and if I win, you give me ten million taels of gold. How about that?”
The ratio of gold to silver here was roughly one to ten, which means ten taels of silver was worth one tael of gold.
Ten million taels of gold is equal to a hundred million taels of silver.
If she could take advantage of this opportunity to take down Prince Fengbao and lighten her debts, Qiao Xiaomai would be very willing to compete.
“What?!” Prince Fengbao hesitated upon hearing that.
Ten million taels of gold.
That was no small sum.
“If Prince Fengbao thinks that’s too much, we can cut it in half to five million taels of gold,” Qiao Xiaomai immediately countered, seeing Prince Fengbao’s hesitation. “I’ve heard that Longshi Country is rich and full of gold and gemstones. Surely, as a prince of Longshi Country, you wouldn’t lack even five million taels of gold?”
“Who says I don’t have it?!” Prince Fengbao let out a cold laugh in response.
“But you, my beauty, aren’t worth five million taels of gold, so I won’t compete.”
With that said, Prince Fengbao walked back to his place in a few strides and plopped down.
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
The audience “…”
Bending and stretching just like Qingye, these princes from the south really do share a style.
Seeing this, Yang Wenxiao sounded the alarm in his mind. He called for Qiao Xiaomai to come down and return to Da’an Palace and then continued the previously interrupted discussion, introducing the envoys to playing cards and mahjong. These two games had already spread throughout Daqi, saturating the market.
But the smaller neighboring countries hadn’t been exposed to these two items. If they could sell these abroad, they might make a tidy profit.
