The State of Zhao was inland, and it was smaller than the State of Yan. The king of Zhao was a well-behaved man, and the envoys he sent were also very well-behaved. From beginning to end, Ru Yi only heard two sentences, "Thank you, your majesty!" "Thank you, Your Highness." I wonder if I thought that their surname was Xie.
After three rounds of drinking, the emissary of Jiang said, "Our king has many sons … the first prince has three sons and two daughters, and the second prince has one man and two daughters. Haha, it is a good omen for our nation that sons are flourishing! I heard that the Emperor also has a princess, but it's a pity that we don't have the chance to meet her. He praised all the princes.
He was not angry at all, and Wang was often the first to be angry. His son was not well, his daughter was not well, and his nephew was not well either. He hated it the most when people told him that Emma had too many children to support. Emma has so many good children, I don't even know who to pick.
"There is a saying in our country, 'One would rather eat an immortal peach than a basket of rotten apricot'." The old man pointed at the peach on the plate and said, "I'm old and my teeth aren't good. It would be difficult for me to eat well. If I accidentally bit an almond, then my stomach wouldn't be mine!"
He was already an old man, and deeply felt that Wang's words made too much sense. If it weren't for the palace banquet, he could say the word "diluted", and so the Cheng Guo said subtly, "Yes, I didn't know how to take care of things when I was young, but I'll find out when I get old. I'm so delicate and delicate, I can't eat well in one bite, tsk tsk …"
The others also followed suit. Words that were too common made sense!
Tutor Qian stroked his beard with a smile. This fence-sitter had finally made a wise decision.
Jiang Country's messenger's face was green and purple. What did this old man mean when he said 'apricot peach trees', wasn't he comparing their country's prince to a rotten apricot? His Yan Kingdom's princess was that peach!
Ru Yi didn't mind the bustle of the conversation at all. She raised her cup of wine and said to Emperor Qing, "Imperial Father, your son is here to pay respects to you."
Marquis Yongyi, Shi Cong, was a smart man. Seeing this, he hurriedly raised his glass and toasted the other officials as well. The Duke of Liang, Xu Donghao, was very close with him and asked, "I heard that the Myriad Manifestation Battalion has offered 100 new cannons. I wonder if we can see them today."
There were skilled craftsmen in Yan Country, and the Palace Chief of the Shang Gong had recruited them to set up the God Equipment Camp. During this war against Jiang, the God Equipment Camp had contributed greatly.
When he heard this, his eyes lit up. However, he did not know that it just so happened that Tutor Qian was right beside him. He smiled and said, "I might be able to see him today, but I can't hear him."
The moment he said it, the entire palace quieted down. He was very satisfied and continued, "Not only did the Shen Ji Camp present a new cannon, they also brought a hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition. According to the princess, they could only release them in the air, and that would be a waste!" Scholars didn't like to fight and kill, so Tutor Qian was more than satisfied with his daughter's way of doing things.
The others, on the other hand, understood his meaning and could only look up towards the sky. That was to say they were afraid of falling to the ground and suffering casualties. If they fell to the land of another country, they wouldn't feel heartache …
If not for him representing the Jiang Country right now! The envoy of the Jiang Country ruthlessly thought that since the king kept telling them to make peace, then I won't lower myself to the same level as you!
The Minister of Industry had long had the idea of a God's opportunity camp in mind of the people. However, the Palace Bureau was under the jurisdiction of the Minister Zheng, and it was easier to carry out their tasks than they were. That was why the Palace Bureau was one step ahead of them.
Of course, he wished that he could snatch it away, but he still had to apply for funding from the Ministry of Industry. That old fellow from the Department of Revenue, if he were to be deducted, he would lose his hair every time. What I'm afraid of now is not that I can't get it back, but that I can't afford to get it back...
He was convinced that Yan Luan was on his side and was always the head of the province. He needed to resolve the internal conflict within the province.
However, since the Consort Xian had left the palace to recuperate, Yan Lumeng had kept his tail between his legs. His Majesty's words had not been ignored; it was fortunate that His Majesty was a wise king, and he was not moved by them.
He looked at the emperor through the letter: Your Majesty, why did you arrange for a person to argue with us to become Minister of Revenue?
It was a difficult task for a beautiful woman to have a picnic, but now he also had a pot and firewood, so he was short of rice!
Yan Xu lowered his head, blew on the hot tea and carefully took a sip.
He knew what it meant to be a citizen, did he not want to bring the God's Opportunity Camp over? The refined iron they forged was not as good as cutting iron like mud, but it could chop horses' legs. Besides, those cannons were very powerful, and His Majesty had been keeping them hidden from view for a long time, so who knew if they were defending against someone or not?
The emissaries of the State of Zhao wanted to see the cannons, but the other countries were rich and powerful. As for the State of Zhao, it was a small country, so it was often bullied by the State of Jiang. The barbarians in the west of the State of Zhao were also very unreasonable, causing the State of Zhao's Elder to think about relocating the capital to the east.
Everyone had their own thoughts when it came to the palace banquet. After a while, the song and dance came up. Ru Yi took a look at it, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then stood up to bid her farewell.
At the Eastern Palace, Li Qing was once again respectfully waiting at the door. Ru Yi supported his subordinate to move the carriage, smiling as she said, "This wine is not bad, you arranged it?" The color of the wine in Ruyi's wine cup was not wine, but fruit drops.
Li Qing quickly kneeled down, "It's all my duty." His Majesty didn't allow His Highness to drink, but since His Highness couldn't do without socializing, the servants could only think of ways.
"Get up." The ruyi did not say anything about the reward. Some people could casually reward them, but there were some people who could not be dismissed like that. Among the servants, there were also people who needed to be treated with respect.
After the woman entered the East Palace, Li Qing slowly stood up.
Ru Yi's first duty as a princess was to receive Prince Jiang Liu.
It was a good thing that the princess only listened to him and never told him what to do about the political affairs of the imperial court. Currently, the princess's power was only shown on the outside, but on the inside, she neither made friends with the court officials nor interfered with the imperial harem. Her path of life was clear, she would follow Emperor Qing He in the morning to be in charge of the imperial government, then follow the Imperial Tutor in the morning, practice riding and shooting in the afternoon.
He originally wanted to catch the little braid of the princess, not because he wanted to attack her intentionally, but because he wanted the sapling to continue growing. As for them, they were the ones who cut the sapling in half. This was all for the sake of the sapling!
Unfortunately, the current sapling had not even split into two, and it was still standing upright, staring straight up into the sky.
Even Qing He sighed to the imperial official. "I've never been willful …"
However, in just a few years, Emperor Qinghe had wished to take back his words. The imperial daughter was never willful, but once she was willful, she would willfully grow up!
The sixth prince of Jiang, Jiang Mian Li Laiyan, is a result of the rivalry between the brothers.
Speaking of which, it wasn't because the women in the harem didn't fight, but rather because their degree of cruelty was much greater than the women in the harem. There were countless pregnant women in the harem, and about eighty of them had miscarried, and half of them died when they were born.
Ru Yi looked over the affairs of the Jiang royal harem again. The information had been sent by the spies arranged by Emperor Qing He, and the purpose of these spies was to find out more information. That is, their safety factor was very high, because they wouldn't poison or assassinate anyone, and they also had a master on the surface.
Although he was ranked sixth, he was no different than the fourth and fifth princes. Prince Jiang Shuo was thirteen this year, and his mother was the concubine of Jiang Wang's pet, Ji Qi. The two sisters had entered the palace together, and their relationship wasn't that good.
Zhu Ruyi closed the paper, and her father taught her, "Although sometimes your eyesight may not be accurate, it is still better than your guessing when you close your eyes. "Even if someone misled us on purpose, we can always look for evidence. As long as there are facts, we can always find clues from them. Then, we will be able to find the true thoughts of others."
Jiang Mubai Li's reputation was not that big of a deal. It matched his identity as a king who had come to a foreign country as a guest.
The envoys of Jiang Country had agreed to meet him. Unexpectedly, this envoy that seemed to be in a bad mood was able to travel two hundred miles in a single breath.
Fortunately, she had someone already arranged for her information to be kept in the dark.
A distance of two hundred li did not need to travel day and night, and it would only take two days.
Prince Jiang Liu's demeanor was quite normal, and he kept a low profile.
Wei Zhao looked at the spy's portrait of the sixth prince and didn't speak for a long time.
The portrait was very simple, but the few simple strokes of the characters were enough to shock anyone. The uncontrollable wind currents in the corners of their eyes seemed to fly out from the paper.
Ru Yi looked at the portrait, her heart gradually recalling a person. That person was very young, and also had a pair of similar eyes. At that time, there was something she didn't understand.
The corners of his eyes slightly curled up. His eyes were narrow and long because of this. His bright black pupils were hidden within them. If he were to look at you, he would feel the brilliance and joy in his heart.
After so many years had passed, she was no longer the little girl who didn't know what to do when she first heard about the departure of her parents. As for him, he also didn't know what had happened. In any case, she would be happy with him if he was fine.
Ru Yi stared blankly for too long, so much so that Emperor Qing He didn't notice when he walked to her side. She only came back to herself when a pair of hands picked up the portrait in front of her.
Emperor Qinghe only gave the painting a cursory glance, then completely focused his attention on his daughter.
All of a sudden, he regretted asking the princess to arrange a reception for Jiang Muli. Who knew that this Jiang Mubai looked like a fox spirit?!
Although it was announced to everyone that she was only twelve, she was actually only nine and a half years old. Her birthday, at the age of ten, had yet to come.
At this moment, it was easiest for a young lady to fall in love with such beautiful things. Otherwise, why wouldn't he put the officials in the East Palace in? Wasn't he afraid that the younger and better-looking things would ruin her?
It wasn't that he didn't believe in the princess, but this matter of emotions was something that reason couldn't control!
