Chapter 337 Dissatisfied

The banquet continued.

The atmosphere at the banquet did not seem to change. The old emperor was still chatting with the Seventh Princess, the ministers were still watching the dance and laughing, and the princes and princesses were as quiet as before.

However, everyone knew that the old emperor's love for the Seventh Princess had not diminished at all, and he did not hide it. This was something that other princes and princesses could not compare to.

This made many people who originally wanted to marry the royal family and let their younger generations marry the Seventh Princess more determined to do so. With the old emperor's love for the Seventh Princess, if a family could marry the Seventh Princess, then this family would definitely be trusted and reused, and would definitely become an important force in Yanfeng in the future.

Therefore, some ministers who brought their own family's younger generations once again told their younger generations to perform well in order to win the Seventh Princess' heart.

After more than an hour, the banquet gradually came to an end. The old emperor gestured, and the eunuch beside him hurriedly came over with a box and placed it on the table in front of the Seventh Princess.

"What is this?" the Seventh Princess asked curiously.

"This is my birthday gift to you. Open it and see if you like it." The old emperor said with a smile.

The expressions of the people in the hall were slightly shocked. They knew that it was time to give gifts. One by one, they took out their own gifts and prepared to give them later.

The Seventh Princess opened the box with an expectant look, and saw a moon pearl the size of an egg in the box. The whole body was snow-white and crystal clear without a trace of impurities.

The Seventh Princess took the moon pearl and put it in front of her eyes to look at it. The moon pearl exuded a faint, gentle white light, shining on the Seventh Princess's beautiful cheeks, making her face look even whiter and brighter.

Everyone in the hall showed a look of amazement when they saw the moon pearl. They had seen many moon pearls, but it was the first time they had seen one as big as the one in the Seventh Princess's hand. This kind of moon pearl was definitely priceless.

The other princes and princesses also looked at the Moon Pearl in the seventh princess's hand, their eyes full of envy, especially those princesses, who were even more jealous. They also liked the Moon Pearl, not to mention that it was so big, absolutely rare in the world, and they all wanted it.

But this was their father's birthday gift to the seventh princess, and they couldn't get it even if they were tempted.

"This Moon Pearl is a tribute from Yueli Country. It is said that they spent a lot of effort to find it. When I saw this Moon Pearl, I thought it was the most suitable for you to carry, so I will give it to you as a gift today. How about it, do you like it?" The old emperor looked at the seventh princess and said with a smile.

In the human world, in addition to the four major countries, there are some other small countries, but these small countries are subservient to the four major countries because of their own strength. This Yueli Country is one of the vassal states of Yanfeng Country.

Yueli Country is rich in all kinds of gems. The gems produced here are famous and popular in the whole human world. Therefore, Yueli Country is very rich, but their military strength is not very strong. They can't be completely independent. If they want to survive, they can only find a backer in the four major countries. Because they are closest to Yanfeng Country, they choose to be subservient to Yanfeng Country and pay tribute every year to obtain Yanfeng Country's protection.

When everyone heard that the Mingyue Pearl came from Yueli Country, they all showed an expression of "I see" and had a higher evaluation of the pearl in their hearts.

After all, it came from Yueli Country, which is known as the gem country, and the quality must be extraordinary.

"I like it very much, thank you father." The seventh princess played with the Mingyue Pearl in her hand and said to her father with a smile on her face.

"As long as you like it, as long as you like it, even if it is the moon in the sky, I will pick it for you." Hearing the words of the seventh princess, the old emperor laughed even happier.

The other princes and princesses now have no other emotions except envy and jealousy. None of them have enjoyed such treatment as the seventh princess.

"I knew that my father loved me the most." The Seventh Princess said coquettishly to the old emperor.

The ministers in the audience hurriedly congratulated the Seventh Princess and congratulated her on her treasure.

"Okay, don't hide it. I see that you all brought gifts. Present them all." The old emperor said to the ministers.

The Seventh Princess looked at everyone with curiosity and expectation. She didn't know what gifts they would give, and whether there would be things she liked or fun. The old emperor was also looking forward to it.

When the ministers heard the old emperor's words, they took out the gifts they prepared and presented them to the Seventh Princess one by one according to the positions of the people on the scene.

However, the Seventh Princess, who was full of expectations, soon looked disappointed and said, "Are they all these again? There is nothing new and not fun at all."

In front of the Seventh Princess, there were already mountains of gifts. Just looking at those finely crafted jewelry, exquisite paintings and calligraphy, gorgeous and luxurious clothes and even thousand-year-old ginseng, the Seventh Princess did not show any expression of interest, but looked uninterested, obviously dissatisfied with such gifts.

The Seventh Princess' words made the ministers present feel a little embarrassed. It was not that they had not thought about the gifts. In fact, they had put a lot of thought into making their gifts surprising and gaining the Seventh Princess' approval. However, all their thoughts could not satisfy the Seventh Princess at all.

"Not satisfied? It doesn't matter. Some local ministers have also sent gifts. I'll have them brought up." The old emperor said to the Seventh Princess.

Then, the eunuchs outside the hall came up with gifts one by one. The names of the gift givers were marked on them. There were quite a lot of them. Let alone what the gifts were, the other princes and princesses were envious of them. They had never received so many gifts on their birthdays. Although they might not like those gifts, the fact that so many ministers sent gifts at least showed that they had a position in the hearts of the ministers and were valued by everyone.

The Seventh Princess was interested in seeing so many gifts again, but soon she pouted again and said, "These again."

Sure enough, those gifts were not much different from the gifts given by everyone in the hall before, which naturally disappointed the Seventh Princess who had high expectations.

"You send these every year, there is nothing new, especially this calligraphy, the handwriting is worse than mine, but you still have the nerve to send it, and even stamp your name on it, do you think your handwriting is good?" The Seventh Princess picked up the calligraphy in front of her, looked at it, and threw it on the ground with a look of disgust.

And the seal of County Magistrate Guo was stamped on the lower right corner of this calligraphy.

Obviously, the owner of this calligraphy is County Magistrate Guo.
