After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Qin Yaoguang explained everything clearly when he sent someone to pass on the message to the Honglu Temple.

Now, when the interpreters saw that she was indeed a foreign woman with Northern Rong ancestry, they felt more at ease.

Judging from his clothes, he was obviously a highly respected person in the Princess's Mansion.

Such a woman will become a colleague in the Honglu Temple in the future.

Does that mean that they can use her to get close to the eldest princess?

For low-ranking officials like them, this is a rare opportunity.

Several people had similar thoughts, and their attitudes towards Sudiya were polite.

Sudiya was quite flattered.

Once upon a time, in her world, as long as he was a man, his status was higher than hers, and he could beat and scold her at will.

This kind of attitude, which was equal and even had a hint of flattery, was the treatment she had only enjoyed when she was the daughter of a tribal chief on the grassland.

Sudiya felt a little flustered.

She looked in Qin Yaoguang's direction several times in a row, and Qin Yaoguang smiled and nodded at her.

Seeing this, Madam Deng said to the interpreters, "I would like to invite you to take my turn. Excuse me, who will go first?"

The interpreters all turned their eyes to the oldest one among them, the one with a beard.

He was about forty years old, thin and slightly hunched, with an elegant temperament.

Being watched by everyone, he did not refuse and took a step forward, bowed to Su Diya and said, "I am Song Guanghong, nice to meet you, Madam Su."

Sudiya was surprised and quickly returned the gift.

"Please consider it, Mr. Song."

She hasn't had time to adapt to her new identity, but since it's a test, it's right to call him sir.

Song Guanghong was not unfamiliar with this scene.

The translators of the Honglu Temple were different from those of other officials. They had to know at least one or two foreign languages ​​to be translators.

Among them, Song Guanghong, who was the most proficient in foreign languages, was often called on temporarily to take on the responsibility of examining.

After the two men greeted each other, Song Guanghong stroked his beard and spoke a series of Beirong dialects, which sounded like questions from the tone.

Sudiya answered and asked back.

When Song Guanghong spoke again, the first sentence he said to him sounded like a completely different language.

The two of them spoke fluently, and the expressions of the interpreters next to them as they looked at Sudiya gradually changed.

What started out as flattery for the eldest princess turned into admiration between professionals.

Song Guanghong turned slightly and with a few words pulled the interpreters beside him in to join the group chat.

Sudiya had mixed feelings.

She was in the capital, but she could hear the familiar accent of her hometown, which reminded her of the prairie she had been away from for a long time.

Although the capital city is prosperous, Sudiya still misses the vast grassland and the endless blue sky, which is her hometown that she yearns for.

However, what the prairie left her with was also humiliation that she could not bear to look back on.

She blinked and focused her attention on the crucial test.

Standing together with the interpreters, we interact with each other.

Qin Yaoguang didn't understand what she said, but she could tell that she was speaking more and more fluently, and her eyes were gradually shining with confidence.

About two incense sticks later, the test ended with Song Guanghong leading the way.

He bowed to Qin Yaoguang and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this Lady Su is proficient in five Northern Rong languages, two Western Region languages, and most of the dialects on the grassland."

"good."

This result is better than Qin Yaoguang expected.

Sudiya was stunned. She spoke two different languages ​​and asked, "Is this the language of the Western Regions?"

Song Guanghong nodded and said, "Not bad."

"But I learned it on the prairie?"

Sudiya was a little confused, as she had never been to the Western Regions.

Before Song Guanghong could react, Qin Yaoguang's expression became serious and asked, "Can you tell me in detail when and where did you learn it?"

A look of pain flashed across Sudiya's face, and was immediately replaced by determination in her eyes.

The past is finally over, what’s important is the present.

She calmed herself down and recalled what happened back then.

After listening to a few words, Song Guanghong bowed to Qin Yaoguang and asked, "Your Highness, do you have a map in your house?"

He worked in the Honglu Temple for many years and, due to his outstanding language talent, he went to the border many times.

I am very familiar with the terrain of the Northwest.

If there were a map, combined with Sudiya's description, it would be clearer.

Atlas, that is, map.

In ancient times, it was extremely valuable military information.

Due to backward tools and extremely high difficulty in drawing, it was entirely done by manpower through on-site measurement and drawing.

The most detailed and exquisite copy is naturally kept in the Wende Hall in the imperial palace where the emperor and his ministers hold meetings.

Whether it was water conservancy construction, disaster relief communications, or most importantly, border wars, all discussions and decisions needed to be made based on maps.

There is also a copy in the Honglu Temple, which is responsible for foreign affairs, and it is kept by the Honglu Temple Minister.

As for whether there was a map in the princess's mansion, Qin Yaoguang didn't know.

She glanced at Nanny Deng.

Nanny Deng understood and said respectfully, "Your Highness, if there is a map in our house, it must be in the study room in the outer courtyard."

The Princess's Mansion was built for Le Yang's wedding. Even though Yan Changqing had never spent a full day in the mansion, it was still fully equipped with everything it needed.

The study in the outer courtyard is where the male owner handles official business, discusses strategies with the guests and receives foreign guests.

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly.

Nanny Deng immediately sent Chunfen to get it.

While waiting for the map, Sudiya described in detail what she remembered.

Of course, with the presence of the translator from the Honglu Temple, Sudiya concealed all the details about her identity.

All she said was that she was the daughter of the tribal leader.

After she finished speaking, even the most junior interpreter could hear something was wrong.

Why did such a large Western Region tribe appear on the grassland occupied by the Northern Rong?

There is more than one force involved.

Sudiya learned two Western languages.

When she was following the previous tribal leader to this tribe to trade goods, she was spotted by a blue-eyed, white-skinned leader of the other tribe, who gave the former tribal leader a pure gold wine jar in exchange.

At that time, she was imprisoned in a tent, providing entertainment for several chiefs and occasionally receiving outside guests.

Therefore, apart from learning their language, she had no idea that the other party was not from the Beirong tribe.

Now thinking back carefully, Sudiya said: "Your Highness, apart from the language, their living habits are indeed different from those of the people on the grassland."

She gave several examples, and Song Guanghong supported them.

The more Qin Yaoguang listened, the more frightened she became.

In theory, the Northwest is geographically connected.

Just like after the great victory over the Northern Rong, the Yuezhi Kingdom quickly submitted to the Great Jing Dynasty, and no one doubted it.

But in reality, the customs and topography are different, and the distances are far apart.

Why did the tribes from the Western Regions travel all the way to the Northern Rong?

According to Sudiya, she stayed there for a year and a half.

In total, no one knew how long the tribe stayed there.

Moreover, there are constantly foreign visitors who come to visit and trade various items. They must have some ulterior motives.

Qin Yaoguang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the back of the chair, concentrating on thinking about the plot of the original book.
