The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 870 - 868: Birthday Banquet Farce (Part 2)
Upon hearing Empress Feng speak, Emperor Longteng also grew more interested.
"Oh? Is that really the case? Then I must see what fine dishes the Third Prince presents this time."
The Emperor and Empress exchanged smiles and sat down together.
The other guests also took their seats.
"Young Prince Tu from Tuyuan Country has arrived."
"General Nalan from Hai Zhang Country has arrived."
"Imperial Censor Li from Changchun Country has arrived."
"..."
The guests gradually gathered.
As soon as General Nalan from Hai Zhang Country took his seat, his eyes scanned the table and he let out a cold snort.
"A grand feast of Longteng Country, yet not even a decent dish is present. These shabby items are fit for nothing but feeding pigs."
Having said that, General Nalan swept his ape-like arm, knocking the fruit plate and snacks from the table onto the ground.
A crashing sound was heard as the plates shattered on the ground.
Emperor Longteng and Empress Feng’s expressions changed.
The guests present all looked over with expressions as if watching a show.
Young Prince Tu sipped his wine, with a cryptic smile, watching the enraged General Nalan.
General Zuo, sitting at the left central seat, slammed the table and stood up.
"Nolan Bo Bo, you have incredible audacity!"
"General Zuo."
Emperor Longteng cast a glance, causing General Zuo to blush with restraint, but he still suppressed his anger and sat down.
"General Nalan, for my birthday feast, Hai Zhang Country sending someone here, I am extremely grateful. If General Nalan has any dissatisfaction, you may state it. If Longteng has been negligent, I shall not shirk from responsibility."
"Emperor Longteng, Nalan is a straightforward man, accustomed to speaking candidly and disliking roundabout words. A few days ago, Nalan especially sent a grand gift for the Emperor’s birthday—a Five-star Dark Spiritual Beast to your country. That Dark Spiritual Beast has a unique taste, it’s a rare Spiritual Food even in ours. Out of respect for the Emperor, it was chosen to be gifted at this birthday feast. Yet, the Emperor clearly disregards my Hai Zhang Country. How can my country endure such humiliation?"
General Nalan spoke angrily.
Rare Spiritual Food? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Five-star Dark Spiritual Beast?
Emperor Longteng and Empress Feng both showed puzzled expressions.
The other ministers also exchanged bewildered looks, evidently unaware of the matter.
"General Nalan must have misunderstood; currently I am unaware of it. May I ask where that Five-star Dark Spiritual Beast is now?"
Emperor Longteng asked again.
"I need to ask your country’s Third Prince, for at that time I entrusted the Five-star Dark Spiritual Beast to him. Young Prince Tu from Tuyuan Country was present, and he can testify for me."
After speaking, General Nalan glanced at Young Prince Tu.
"This is true. However..."
Young Prince Tu purposely left everyone hanging.
"Young Prince, please speak frankly."
Emperor Longteng was somewhat irate.
The Third Prince was indeed bold, hiding such an important affair.
No wonder General Nalan was angry.
"But that Dark Spiritual Beast is very unique. Neither the Young Prince nor the Third Prince recognized it. Even those in the Imperial Kitchen did not recognize it, so this rare Spiritual Food might be beyond everyone’s enjoyment."
Young Prince Tu said with a wry smile.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Longteng’s face became even gloomier.
General Nalan displayed complete disdain.
"So, the grand Longteng Country cannot even recognize rare Spiritual Food? Longteng’s incompetence, as rumored, is indeed true."
The guests from other countries also began to discuss widely.
To their surprise, the gift sent by a foreign country was not even recognized by Longteng Country.
The foreign guests openly mocked Longteng at the national feast, creating a huge laughing stock.
For a moment, everyone in Longteng was deeply embarrassed.
