After hearing this, Emperor Xiaoxian raised his head to look at Zhan Wenlin, and quickly said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, you will also go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty with me. With you by my side, I can feel more at ease -"
Zhan Wenlin was satisfied now. She thought that she had been in the palace for several months without leaving the door. She finally made it to Emperor Xiaoxian's birthday, and the palace could be lively. If everything goes well
As usual, she must be bored to death!
If she hadn't spoken just now, she would have had no choice but to stay in the palace. In this case, I don't know what reason Zhan Wenmiao and Zhan Wenying would have found to cause trouble for her...
Qi Hongyi saluted Zhan Wenxuan, Zhan Wenyu and Zhan Wenlin in turn, then stood up and sat in the vacant seat.
On hand were very delicate pastries, and a cup of Longjing tea that exuded a rich aroma. He picked up the cup and took a sip, and couldn't help but admire: "Zhaoyue is a vast land with abundant resources, and the tea grown from the tea leaves can only be brewed like this."
It’s refreshing and has a sweet aftertaste.”
"These snacks are also made with care. After the trade between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Zhaoyue, there were indeed many improvements in food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, the people still focused on being able to eat enough, so the things they made were not as exquisite.
"
Everyone listened to Qi Hongyi's words. After he finished speaking, Emperor Xiaoxian smiled and said: "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty has now become the most powerful among the other countries. I think it won't take a few years for the people to be like Zhaoyue."
Same."
After hearing this, Qi Hongyi just smiled. He was an envoy. Naturally, he could not be the same in front of the emperor of another country as he was in front of his own king. Naturally, he had to keep three points in his words and deeds.
"Thanks to the auspicious words of Emperor Zhaoyue, this envoy will definitely inform the monarch of your expectations when he returns. I think the monarch will be pleased to hear these words!"
Emperor Xiaoxian has been the emperor for so many years, so he naturally understands the meaning of Qi Hongyi's words. If you want to make the country strong, in addition to a wise emperor and a group of courtiers who work for the welfare of the people, the only thing left is trade.
.
Only when the economic strength increases can the army be equipped with the best equipment to defend the country and sovereignty.
Although Zhaoyue looks like gunshots on the surface today, the treasury has long been bottomed out. Fortunately, there have been no major disasters in the past few years. Otherwise, there would not even be money for disaster relief.
Because once money is used for disaster relief, the troops stationed at the border will be short of food and clothing. Emperor Xiaoxian would never do such a thing that could easily destabilize the military...
Zhan Wenxuan and Zhan Wenyu listened carefully, pondering the meaning of Qi Hongyi's words. Zhan Wenlin, on the other hand, was bored to death as she sat there.
Looking at the snacks on the plate at hand, I want to eat but don't want to. After all, I have already tasted the taste of cakes and pastries that are ten and a hundred times more delicious than those made by the royal chefs in the palace. If I eat these again, it will be a bit overwhelming.
Already.
I sighed heavily in my heart, and in the end I just took a sip of tea, then focused my attention on one place, and started to stay in a daze.
She didn't know who that person was. He left her palace that day and never appeared again. He was someone close to her seventh brother, but he was so concerned about the glass bottle Su Wan gave her.
Attentive.
But if he said no, then why did he come to save him when he saw himself being bullied?
There are also those cold eyes and those slightly rough hands. These have become Zhan Wenlin's "thoughts" to pass the time when she is alone recently.
She didn't know if she was lovesick. If possible, she would like to see that person again. Ask him face to face if he is willing to stay with her...
Qi Hongyi stayed in the palace until the evening, had dinner in the palace, and went back to the posthouse to rest under the escort of Zhan Wenxuan and Zhan Wenyu.
At that time, Xiang Yongchang and Mrs. Xiang disappeared while strolling in the courtyard. When they heard the voices outside, they curiously walked to the door of the courtyard and took a look.
However, when they saw the people coming, they were Zhan Wenxuan and Zhan Wenyu, their expressions immediately changed. They hurried back to the house and pretended not to see anything.
It's a pity that Zhan Wenxuan and Zhan Wenyu both have very good eyesight. How could they not see the couple?!
After sending Qi Hongyi back to the courtyard, Zhan Wenyu first asked Zhan Wenxuan: "According to what the eighth brother knows, Xiang Yongchang went to Su Mansion a few days ago and accidentally broke a white porcelain cup, which cost him a whole
Ten thousand taels of silver, I wonder if Brother Qi has heard about this?"
"It is indeed true, but this matter was not heard about, but was handled by my king." Zhan Wenxuan replied. "The thing that was broken was not an ordinary white porcelain tea cup.
A set of sweet white glaze tea cups that I like."
"That set of cups and cups was also bought by Wanwan from a famous artist. The price at that time was more than 10,000 taels!"
Zhan Wenyu put his hands behind his back. Hearing Zhan Wenxuan say this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Listen to what Brother Qi said, Xiang Yongchang and the others spent 10,000 taels to buy that tea set, or did they make a profit?!"
