Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 460 Returning
The Daliao Kingdom mainly held a farewell banquet for Chen Yi. On the one hand, it was for Chen Yi to practice, and on the other hand, it was also to thank Chen Yi for his contributions after he arrived in the Daliao Kingdom.

Chen Yi originally didn't want to be so arrogant, but he couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the leader of the Liao Kingdom. In addition, the newly appointed Marshal Zhenguo also tried to persuade him, so he finally agreed.

The banquet was very lively, and all the officials above rank five were present.

Everyone chatted with Chen Yi and toasted.

They can all see that Chen Yi is not only unparalleled in personal ability, but also has an extraordinary relationship with the leader of the Daliao Kingdom.

Any officials with a little brain are willing to make friends with this envoy from the Great Wu Kingdom, hoping that their own lord will look up to him.

Then it is possible that like Qiu Shengyu, from a commander of the Feiyan Guard who can only be regarded as the third rank, he suddenly became the Marshal of the Zhenguo, who is deeply loved by the leader of the Daliao Kingdom.

The lord of the Daliao Kingdom also frequently drank with Chen Yi, and kept pulling him to talk, his words were full of reluctance, and he even hoped that he could stay.

Chen Yi could only drink in silence and try not to answer.

There were beauties dancing under the stage, and drum music was playing beside the stage, and the whole banquet was very lively.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone gradually became a little drunk.

The leader of the Liao Kingdom was holding Chen Yi's hand and crying because he drank too much with him.

Chen Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his gaffe. If he didn't know him well, Chen Yi would have doubted his orientation.

Immediately, he called Eunuch Sun, who came to serve the Lord of the Daliao Kingdom, and asked him to help the Lord of the Daliao Kingdom to rest.

With the departure of the king, the farewell party gradually came to an end. Everyone bid farewell to each other drunkenly, and were sent home by their villains.

Chen Yi's current physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people. After drinking so much, he only feels warm, not even a hint of drunkenness.

He walked to the residence alone, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, with a slight smile on his face.

This banquet, which was supposed to be rejected, made him very happy. He hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.

Constantly working hard for the development of Dawu Kingdom, and the stubborn and willful empress gave him headaches every day.

Thinking of the empress Chen Yi unconsciously sighed. It would be great if the empress could be like the leader of the Daliao Kingdom. Although the lord of the Daliao Kingdom may not be as smart as the empress, she is dedicated to the development of her own country.

Unlike the empress, when the country is not in danger, the empress is the biggest embarrassment.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, after all, he would see the empress who gave him a headache again in two days.

Then the night was silent.

In the early morning of this day, Chen Yi and his party packed their luggage early and were ready to go.

Since the leader of Daliao Kingdom drank too much yesterday and is still in a deep sleep, Chen Yi cannot disturb him.

I could only speak to Eunuch Sun, bid farewell to the Lord of the Daliao Kingdom on his behalf, and then set off to return to the Dawu Kingdom.

The journey was safe and sound, with no accidents.

Two days later, the chariots and horses of Chen Yi and his party appeared outside the imperial capital of the Great Wu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen and the others are back, and they are waiting for His Majesty in the main hall."

Eunuch Meng told the empress who was concentrating on a few pieces of paper in a soft voice.

"Oh? He's finally willing to come back? I thought he was going to stay in Daliao Kingdom."

When the empress heard the news, she suppressed her smile and mocked angrily.

Eunuch Meng looked at the back of the empress who hurried out after finishing her words, feeling helpless and amused in his heart.

This time, Chen Yi was sent as an envoy to the Daliao Kingdom to negotiate an alliance and trade, and later sent someone back to say that he was going to help the Daliao Kingdom deal with the civil strife. As a result, he had been there for nearly a month.

As a result, the empress asked Chen Yi why he hadn't come back from time to time, and from time to time used the excuse of trade to prepare to defect to the Daliao Kingdom and never come back.

But then he would talk to himself to comfort himself.

"Such an excellent emperor as the widow is comparable to the young boy of the king of the Daliao Kingdom. Although Chen Yi is hateful, he is still quite smart, so he shouldn't be able to."

Then, as if recalling the scene where Chen Yi scolded her in the past, she became irritable again.

Now that Chen Yi is finally back, His Majesty must return to normal, but...

Eunuch Meng saw a few pieces of paper on the Empress's desk with words such as "Alchemy, Immortal Master, and Longevity" and suddenly felt a headache again.

"If Lord Chen finds out, he will probably scold the Empress again, hey."

The empress hurriedly came to the main hall, and saw Chen Yi and the others standing in front of the hall, with some dust on their bodies.

"Chen, cough cough."

The empress subconsciously wanted to call Chen Yi, but immediately realized that something was wrong, she quickly put away her smile and pretended to be majestic.

"Chen Aiqing went on an envoy to Daliao, and now that she's back, everything must be in order."

"Returning to Your Majesty, Chen Yi is fortunate to have lived up to his fate. My Great Wu Kingdom has signed an alliance and trade agreement with the Great Liao Kingdom, which will be a century-old relationship."

"Even the Daliao Kingdom has begun preparations to build trade roads. When our Dawu Kingdom and the Daliao Kingdom merge, our Dawu Kingdom will surely usher in an economic prosperity."

"Your Majesty, here is a trade contract, please review it."

Chen Yi took out the trade contract and handed it to Eunuch Meng, who then handed it to the Empress.

The empress looked at it and her eyes lit up.

She seems to have seen a steady stream of wealth pouring into the national treasury, isn't the treasury's money her own money, so with so much money, it doesn't hurt to spend some on refining the elixir of life.

"Okay, Chen Aiqing is really a talent in our Great Wu Kingdom, and such great achievements must be rewarded."

The empress saw that Chen Yi seemed to have something to say, and was worried that he would make some unreasonable requests, such as asking herself not to visit the immortal master to make alchemy.

So he spoke hastily.

"I will give you 100 taels of silver, [-] bolts of high-quality silk, and [-] servants. That's it."

Although the reward is not much, it is already very generous for the empress who has always been stingy.

It's just that Chen Yi was a little puzzled. The empress seemed to be very anxious to reward herself, and she didn't even have time to say something polite.

Maybe the Empress finally changed her nature after seeing my contribution to the Great Wu Kingdom, Chen Yi thought so.

"But Chen Aiqing, I don't understand one thing."

The empress said in a leisurely manner.

"Please speak, Your Majesty, and I am willing to answer for Your Majesty."

"The distance between my Great Wu Kingdom and Daliao Kingdom is not too far. If you take a horse or chariot, you can reach it in as little as two days and as many as three days."

"I can come back for up to ten days including back and forth and discussing business matters, but Chen Aiqing's visit lasted a full month."

"Could it be that the great Liao Kingdom is so beautiful that Chen Aiqing lingers so much?"

Chen Yi was surprised, wondering what medicine the empress had taken wrongly.

He originally thought that the Empress was asking him how he persuaded the Daliao Kingdom to successfully sign an alliance trade contract.

But I never expected that the empress would ask such an unexpected question, and there was a hint of resentment in her tone.

Not only Chen Yi was surprised, but also the ministers around him were completely puzzled.
