Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 326 - Generous

Chapter 326: Generous

A few days later was the emperor’s birthday. The entire capital was decorated in bright lights and everyone around was feeling festive.

The palace was even livelier. Not only were there ministers and envoys from different countries there to celebrate, but the famous families of Nan Xia Country had made an appearance too.

This time, Huangfu Qingjue was not around. Only E Shulan was there, acting kind and sweet while mingling with the crowd. The Lord Divine Messenger was absent and thus she was the highest level representative of the Deity Temple in the capital.

“Miss Ling, you all are here as well.” Seeing Ling Chuxi and the rest entering, E Shulan immediately rushed to welcome them with a smile. It seemed she realized that she had been shamed badly and was worried her status might be affected, so she was trying desperately to win over Nan Xia Country. She was a lot more modest than before.

Ling Chuxi, however, knew what kind of person she was. Even though she acted kind and friendly now, the moment she gained authority, she would show her true colors. Hence, Ling Chuxi had no intention of entertaining her and just nodded, entering the court without saying anything.

It felt like a slap in the face, and E Shulan could only stand there awkwardly. She recovered after a while and went to mingle with the others, but her gaze was filled with resentment every time she looked at Ling Chuxi.

In the main palace hall, the court officials were respectfully giving their celebratory well wishes. All kinds of precious treasures were s.h.i.+ning and glittering under the light. The ceremony officiate reported their congratulatory gifts in a melodious voice.

Ling Chuxi walked into the hall, searching for the Dong Xing Country envoys. Strangely enough, she did not see the people that were with Fang Yuanqiu that day.

“From s.h.i.+ Qu Town’s Ling Family, Miss Ling Chuxi is offering an Ambergris Pill, wis.h.i.+ng His Majesty long life and blessings as abundant as the eastern seas.” At that moment, the ceremony officiate’s melodious voice sounded.

The lively hall suddenly went silent. Not many in the crowd had heard of the Ling family from the little town of s.h.i.+ Qu, but a lot of people knew of Ling Chuxi. As for the Ambergris Pill, there was not a single person who did not know of it – it was a pill that could cure hundreds of diseases, and it could help an ordinary person prolong his life by ten years. For normal people, this item was worth more than the Tian Luo Pill. After all, not everyone had the innate talent for cultivation, but there was not a single person alive who would never fall sick, and of course, no one would refuse a few more years to live. Such a wondrous pill was rare and expensive, not only in Nan Xia Country, but the whole mainland.

Fu Chengyu and the fifth princess were also stunned. They knew that Ling Chuxi had wanted to refine a pill that could prolong one’s life, but they never would have thought that it was the Ambergris Pill. Seeing the stunned faces around them then recalling the real reason Ling Chuxi refined this pill, the two of them could only shake their heads.

“The Ambergris Pill? Let me see it!” The emperor was extremely excited. As the leader of a country, what kind of precious treasures hadn’t he seen? He had long stopped considering them rare. However, this spiritual pill that could prolong one’s life was a treasure any emperor could only dream of having.

An exquisite brocade box was brought up and the moment it was opened, the strong pill fragrance wafted into the entire hall. The smooth pill was a beautiful range of colors, and the emperor’s hands trembled slightly as he gazed upon it.

“The Ambergris Pill. It really is the Ambergris Pill.” Someone finally exclaimed in surprise.

“This Ling family is truly generous. I don’t even know where they managed to find such a rare pill.”

“I heard that Ling Chuxi and Master Luo Li have been secretly working together – this Ambergris Pill is probably the doing of Master Luo.”
