Chapter 635: Chapter 635: The Grand Wedding (2)_1

Situ Gong accepted it, took a glance, then handed it to Chu Suifeng.

Chu Suifeng had just received the presentation list from Prince Rui, but never bothered to open it. Now that he received King Chu’s list, he reviewed it earnestly. "Hmm, as expected, King Chu is indeed generous. The gifts are quite plentiful, not bad."

A more radiant smile spread across King Chu’s face. Ha, doesn’t he know his territory? That is Jiangnan, the richest land in Daqin.

It turns out that Chu Suifeng is not that difficult to deal with. As long as he is willing to fork out, this trip would definitely not be for nothing.

Then, Chu Suifeng picked up the presentation list from Prince Rui again and looked it over. When he looked up again, the soft expression on his face had reverted back to its original stony facade.

Subsequently, his sullen gaze swept back and forth between King Chu and Prince Rui.

King Chu and Prince Rui did not understand his intentions. Just as the smiles on their faces were about to falter, Chu Suifeng finally spoke, "King Chu’s gifts are much more substantial than Prince Rui’s."

Upon hearing these words, Prince Rui’s smile could no longer hold, already feeling aggrieved. This has been the most humiliating thing he has done in his life. If he had known Chu Suifeng was going to be this difficult, he would have come empty-handed, to spare himself from the repeated rejections even after offering gifts.

Prince Rui, driven to distraction by Chu Suifeng, could hardly sit still. But his status as a member of the Royal Family attending this event did not allow him to lose his temper. He was here with a big responsibility to win over Chu Suifeng.

Despite the curses storming in his mind, Prince Rui maintained a forced smile, "Ahem, it’s just that I am much poorer than King Chu. Among our estates, only King Chu’s is the most affluent. If King Chu’s gifts were less significant than mine, wouldn’t that be a slap in his face?"

A few words alleviated the awkwardness.

Everyone was speechless and inwardly admiring Prince Rui. He truly was a master of internal power struggles. Look at how he skillfully turned the tables on King Chu in just a few sentences.

King Chu looked at Prince Rui with a slight smile, "My estate, to be precise, is only slightly better than yours. It’s hardly the most affluent."

"Are you saying that King Chu is looking down on me?" Before Prince Rui could come up with a retort, Chu Suifeng had already spoken up. Furthermore, there was a clear undertone of anger in his voice.

Chu Suiyun was not intimidated, still maintaining his lustrous smile, "Seventh Brother, what do you mean? I can’t seem to grasp your point. The gifts I sent are richer than Prince Rui’s. Could sending generous gifts be a wrong thing in this day and age?"

The humorous tone made it hard for anyone to get angry.

But who was Chu Suifeng? He had made up his mind to play the role of a brute in this matter. Chu Suiyun’s friendly gesture was meaningless to him. "King Chu’s estate is in Jiangnan, a place rich in resources. Compared to Prince Rui, the gifts may indeed appear to be generous. However, for someone of King Chu’s standing, these gifts are little more than handouts to beggars."

Such shamelessness! Chu Suiyun had never seen someone so audaciously demanding. It seemed like his gift-giving had led to even more trouble.

Meanwhile in contrast, Prince Rui felt relieved; Chu Suifeng was not specifically targeting him. Now, he could sit back and watch Chu Suiyun’s misfortune.

"Hmm, it seems that I did not consider things thoroughly. How about this, the next time I come to the Northern Land, I will make up for it." King Chu was indeed a shrewd man; he did not want to pick a fight with Chu Suifeng at this point.

Seeing the other party retreat, Chu Suifeng finally did not press on.

"You both are here to attend the rites?" He asked coldly, his gaze on the two.
