The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father

Jingchengguanyi.

Zhan Duo, the envoy of Wu Yun Kingdom, had a beard and dark skin. As soon as he returned to the house, he shook his head at another companion in the room.

"Our trip was probably in vain."

"How to say?"

"Jing Guo has arranged us here for almost two days, and no one has taken care of us. This shows how contemptuous he is of us!"

"Hey. We are the closest to Jingguo. It would be best if we could open trade with Jingguo. But if Jingguo is arrogant and treats us as barbarians, we can also trade with other neighboring countries."

The two envoys sat opposite each other and couldn't help but lower their voices during the discussion.

"By the way, have you heard anything about Emperor Xiao Yunzhou's preferences while you were out asking around for a day?"

Zhan Duo, the envoy of Wu Yun State, suddenly had a strange expression after hearing this.

"I was out today and listened to people's comments. Emperor Jingguo's temperament has changed drastically recently. He is farming with his ministers and letting the prince cook and wash vegetables."

"His concubines in the harem sew clothes every day."

"...? Is the Jingguo royal family so... strange?"

"Just now, the minister of the post seems to have said that starting from today, he will learn to do carpentry."

"???"

The two envoys of Wu Yun State had strange expressions.

Looking at each other, they shook their heads.

"It seems that we are going to be disappointed this time."

"The next journey is to go to Chu State. The emperor of Chu State is working hard to govern and is eager to build a strong army!"

The two envoys sighed, "Then just wait for one more day. If Jingguo still hangs us here tomorrow, we will leave."

"There are still many buyers."

But just as he said this, he heard footsteps coming from the door!

The Guanyi entertained the envoy officials, who came hand in hand with officials from the Ministry of Rites.

"You two, I, Emperor Jingguo, will host a banquet for you tonight."

Wu Yun's envoys looked at each other in surprise.

*

Before the state banquet, Xiao Yunzhou returned Little Princess to Liu Bin who had returned from making winter clothes.

When he arrived at Donghua Palace, he didn't even need a girl to pour him tea.

Asking them to bring the tea set directly, Xiao Yunzhou made tea himself and poured it for everyone.

Min Bin could neither sit nor stand. She looked at the emperor pouring tea for Liu Bin and her expression twitched.

"You don't have to be formal, I want to drink it myself." Xiao Yunzhou waved to Min Bin generously, "You all sit down, there is no need to be polite to me."

The emperor now loves the taste of doing it himself!

Min Concubine couldn't hold it back and rolled her eyes on the spot, "Your Majesty, I don't need this concubine. The girl Qiuli next to Concubine Liu makes tea. It's neither bitter nor astringent. It's much better than what you make."

Xiao Yunzhou: "..."

Liu Bin, who was holding Xiao Gege, pursed her lips hard to keep from laughing.

Ever since he came back from the Liu family courtyard that day, the emperor began to work hard to do the little things around him and do it himself.

But the effect is not very good.

After all, compared with the palace maids and eunuchs who were used to doing things, the emperor's skills were much worse.

Min Bin is really disgusted, not fake.

"Your Majesty, the dishes washed by the Sixth Prince are still stained with mud. I really can't eat them, so I'm hoarding them all."

"Just wait until the emperor comes today and let the dining room cook for the emperor."

Xiao Yunzhou: "..."

Liu Bin's chest vibrated silently.

Cheng Qian was also washing vegetables in the dining room. His movements were much slower than those in the kitchen, but they were still clean.

But it was their meal time, which was quite late.

As a dry-cleaning dish, she, as a mother-in-law, naturally wanted to taste it, no matter how late.

But that's not the case for Min Bin. She didn't like vegetarian food in the first place, and now she has to eat pureed food. She can't stand it at all.

"Your Majesty, please quickly bring that little ancestor Chengshan to your Chonghua Palace."

"Huo Huo, please have some green vegetables over there."

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't sit down anymore, "Ahem, I have to entertain the envoys tonight. I'm very busy. You can use the food yourself."

Min Bin rolled her eyes.

Xiao Yunzhou left Donghua Palace as if he was running away. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Liu Bin, "You play with Xiao Gege for a while. I will ask Wei Zheng to pick her up after the banquet later."

[Ouch, that’s great~I can also go see foreigners~]

Xiao Chuchu bared her teeth with a smile.

The fifth prince Chengqian, who was coming to pay his respects to E Niang, heard his sister say as soon as he stepped into the house.

[Wu Yunguo advocates white. 】

[For example, a white war horse is regarded as a spiritual object. Flawless white jade is also regarded as a noble and sacred object, and can only be worn by those with ability. 】

Xiao Chuchu thought about it and couldn't help but let out a sigh when she saw the amber pendant on her brother's body.

[Brother, why didn’t you wear the white jade you usually wear today? 】

[Otherwise, my brother will definitely catch the eye of the envoy during today’s dinner! 】

Cheng Qian was startled and looked down at his waist.

Liu Bin hurriedly coughed, "Cheng Qian, your jade knot of everything goes well is a bit old. Your father is entertaining envoys, it's a bit rude for you to wear it."

"Eniang, there happens to be a new bat knot made by Qiuli here. It is suitable to go with the white marrow jade that your father gave you a while ago. You can put it on."

*

On the other side of the main hall, Xiao Yunzhou was eager to host a banquet to entertain the envoys. Both the dining room and the etiquette department were busy.

"Your Majesty is so impatient, it only inflates Wu Yunguo's arrogance."

"Yes, these barbarians still think they can trade on an equal footing with our Jingguo? Dream on!"

Before the envoy arrived, the ministers who were forced to work overtime to attend the banquet began to complain.

Wu Yun State is located to the west of Jing State. There was not much contact between the two countries in the past.

"Wu Yun's country is a grassland environment, and silk weaving and farming are backward."

"The late emperor didn't like to talk to Wu Yunguo."

"The late emperor is right. These barbarians who started their lives by eating raw meat are indeed not worthy of our Jingguo's attention."

"That is, if they trade with us, what can they give us? Even their dyeing techniques are very old."

"Herbs were affected by the harsh winter and are scarce locally."

"They are not as good as Chu, our neighbor, who can trade weapons and food with us."

"Hey, the emperor is inviting them to a banquet tonight. What's the deeper meaning?"

Xiao Yunzhou attended in advance and sat on the throne, obviously attaching great importance to today's meeting of envoys.

The ministers were a little confused.

Soon, the princes also arrived one after another, and the fifth prince became Qian

He even brought Sange Gechuchu.

Xiao Yunzhou happily asked his sons to sit down, and then hugged Chu Chu himself.

"Report to your Majesty, two envoys are already waiting outside the palace."

"Okay, invite them in quickly!"

Xiao Chuchu was immediately in the emperor's arms, looking outside the palace with excitement and expectancy.

Soon I saw two weathered men wearing brown fur robes and wheat-colored skin walking in.

At this glance, not only Xiao Chuchu, but also the emperor and ministers took a breath.

The envoy of Wu Yun State was born too tall!

He was half a head taller than the Jingguo guard who was leading the way next to him!

And it seems that the arms of these two envoys are thicker than those of Jingguo's guards.

Compared to guards, envoys are more like sergeants on the battlefield!

[Hey, after eating beef and mutton for a long time, running horses and hunting, and basking in the sun a lot, they are indeed taller than us Jingguo people. 】

Xiao Yunzhou narrowed his eyes when he heard his daughter's voice.

It turns out I want to eat beef and mutton! ?

Cattle are too expensive to eat, but mutton is fine.

Also, if you get more sun, you will be taller?

Xiao Yunzhou's expression changed continuously.

How infuriating!

When he was young, the maids and eunuchs were afraid that he would get sunburned if he basked in the sun too much!

It turns out that he was raised bad again...

Xiao Yunzhou felt bitter in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Wu Yunguo's envoy with a bit of surprise and envy in his eyes.

If I had known earlier, I would have been so tall!

The envoy of Wu Yun State reluctantly saluted Xiao Yunzhou, but his expression became stiff after he stood up.

Because they were waiting outside the palace just now and listened to all the comments made by Minister Jing Guo about the barbarians from Wu Yun State.

Jing Guo just looked down on Wu Yun Guo!

Look at this Emperor Jingguo, his eyes are so arrogant and rude...

Wu Yun's envoy raised his head angrily and looked directly at Xiao Yunzhou.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he was filled with anger!

Um?

Wait, why did Emperor Jingguo look at them? There was no contempt, no contempt, but also... happiness, goodwill, and a little envy?

"I didn't expect that the two envoys were almost as tall as the door curtain."

Xiao Yunzhou was wandering in his mind, complaining about his height, and unknowingly said what was in his heart.

"Just when you walked in, I thought I saw two door pillars, haha."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly changed color.

Even the Liu family master couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xiao Yunzhou.

The emperor is poisonous!

The envoy politely saluted the emperor, but the emperor called him a stone block!

My brain is flooded...

If you want to show off your power, just don't see other people's envoys.

He even invites people over for dinner and scolds them in front of their faces... This is to make enemies!

The Master of the Liu family is anxious. He is about to subjugate his country, so he wants to stir up hatred?

After Xiao Yunzhou blurted out, his expression suddenly changed.

He realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Well, two envoys, I have no other intentions." Xiao Yunzhou tried to make up for it.

But the next moment, the expressions of the emperor and the Liu family master changed.

[Hey, how does the emperor know that people in Wu Yun State love others to praise them for being tall? 】

Xiao Chuchu chuckled, [They often compare Khan to mountains and palaces~]

Xiao Yunzhou and Master Liu: "..."

Sure enough, the next moment, the two envoys in the palace, who had dark faces and were dissatisfied with Jing Guo, suddenly smiled.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Jingguo, it is because we are the tallest and strongest among the clan that we were appointed as envoys by the Khan."

"Your Majesty Jingguo, thank you for your compliment."

“We will remember your genuine kindness!”

spread?

Saying you are like doorposts, is this called friendliness? Or is it sincere?

All the officials in Jingguo were dumbfounded.
