The Emperor announced on the spot that a state banquet would be held three days later in order to show his welcome to the Crewe Mission.

After the banquet that night, Ruoyun came back by car first, and Chu Ziheng, as the host of this time, also had to arrange things such as food and accommodation for the Kru delegation and his party, and did not come back until midnight.

At that time, Ruoyun had already fallen asleep, and when she felt someone gently kissing her cheek and forehead, she knew that it was Chu Ziheng who had returned.

Chu Ziheng may have been a little tired, so he didn't go any further, but after kissing Ruoyun, he lay on the side and hugged her, and the two fell asleep after a while.

And the next morning, when Ruoyun opened his eyes, Chu Ziheng was no longer around, and the girls said that the prince had already gone out before the sun came out.

Ruoyun sighed, in order to welcome this Crewe Mission, Chu Ziheng was so busy, and their newlyweds didn't have a chance to get along well.

In the next few days, the two of them were very busy, Chu Ziheng was busy receiving the Kru Mission, and because the Kru Mission had female relatives coming with him this time, they also had to enter the palace every once in a while to accompany the second prince and concubine of Kru and a few entourage wives.

But in other words, the two princes and his wife are also a wonderful couple, and these two have been moving frequently recently.

The palaces of the nobles and ministers, who are basically called in the capital, or the ministers who have had a relationship with them, will receive gifts from the couple, which are called some specialties brought from Crewe.

Ruoyun couldn't help but smile when he saw these special products that the second prince of Kru sent to his mansion.

There are some bright and beautiful carpets, and some gemstones to wear beads. There are also some handicrafts made of the bones of various animals, although they all look exquisite and beautiful, but Ruoyun knows that these things are not worth much money at all.

Because Ruoyun herself has had her own caravan since her business became bigger, she still knows the price of some things in Krewe.

Take those beautiful carpets, for example, which are actually woven from a very tough grass that is unique to Crewe.

It is estimated that the women of Crewe will weave this thing, but the second prince of Crewe painted the carpet with bright exotic colors for the sake of beauty, so that people think it is a very precious thing, but it is not worth much.

And the beads worn by the so-called gemstones are actually a kind of stone unique to the Kru River Valley. This stone is called "lucky stone" by the Kru people. It's colorful, and it's very smooth and shiny by the river all year round, so it looks pretty beautiful.

However, this kind of stone can be picked up by the river, and you don't need to spend money to buy it. The second prince of Crewe used this stone to polish into regular shapes. Punch the holes. It does look beautiful, and it is quite convincing to bluff the powerful people who have never seen these things.

As for the crafts made from animal bones and hair, it's even better. Crewe was originally a nomadic people, they eat meat all year round, and almost every day they slaughter livestock, and it is very simple to pick out some beautiful bones from them to make crafts.

Therefore, Ruoyun knew that these things were not worth anything at all in Crewe, but in the eyes of Da Chu, who had never seen them, they thought they were rare things, and when they saw that the second prince of Crewe sent someone to give gifts, they all happily accepted it.

As Da Chu as a state of etiquette, under normal circumstances, after receiving gifts from others, they must return the gifts appropriately.

In order to show the magnanimity of Da Chu, these magnates and eunuchs of Da Chu thought that they were full of sincerity, genuine real money and silver, gold and silver jewelry, medicinal jewelry and precious fabrics.

The second prince and his wife used some things that were very cheap in Crewe, and exchanged them for a lot of real money, silver, and silk silk.

Ruoyun heard the news in the mansion, and laughed even more, is this second prince of Kru really poor, although the envoy Da Chu brought a lot of Kru things, but in exchange for things that are many times higher than their original value, these two couples are really business-minded.

However, although the family has benefited, the reputation of the second prince and his wife in Beijing is getting better and better.

After all, every household gives you gifts one by one, there is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling face, people come all the way, and the attitude is humble, but also very thoughtful to give you gifts, who can say that people are not good, so it is said that the second prince and his wife are righteous and free, and the good impression of the magnates in Beijing towards them is rising in a straight line.

Three days later, the state banquet is a bigger scene, and officials and women of the fourth grade or above in Beijing, as well as some people with high moral standing will be invited to participate.

The banquet began in the Imperial Palace's Qinzheng Hall and was set up in the square outside, in two rows, and a low table was placed at a short distance from each row, which was for those who came to the banquet to sit.

A wide road was set aside in the middle, and the red carpet was laid out, which was left for the emperor and the second prince of Kru and others to walk.

When the banquet begins, the emperor and the second prince will walk through the red carpet in the middle, so that the ministers and people of insight can appreciate the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the demeanor of the Crewe Mission.

Such a big banquet Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng and his wife also want to participate, of course, according to Ruoyun's identity, there is no need to sit outside, her position is in the main hall, and Chu Ziheng is the person who walks the red carpet with the emperor.

The state banquet starts at the beginning of noon (around 11 o'clock at noon) and ends at the end of the day (about 1 o'clock in the afternoon), but the people who attend the state banquet enter the palace one after another from the third quarter of the morning (about 4 o'clock in the morning).

When Ruoyun entered the palace, it was already the beginning of the morning (about nine o'clock in the morning), and when she entered the scope of the Qinzheng Palace, she saw that there were already many people sitting in their seats, but the entire Qinzheng Palace Square was very solemn, without any noise, and everyone was doing their own things in an orderly manner.

Ruoyun had to sigh, the ancients were indeed very particular about etiquette, but so many people did not see the slightest confusion.

A big feast went very smoothly, and it was whole at noon. The emperor walked across the red carpet with a smile and the second prince of Crewe, followed by the queen and the second prince and princess of Crewe.

The second prince and his wife are both slightly behind the emperor and the queen, and they do not dare to compare with the emperor and the queen.

Behind them were the emperor's sons, from King Zhao to the eighth prince who had just turned six, all of them had a clean face, walking through the red carpet with their heads held high and royal majesty.

The state banquet has a state banquet procedure, and no one is actually eating at the banquet, and the banquet is nothing more than a welcome symbol to the Crewe mission.

As soon as Qiē is quite smooth, the second prince of Kru presented a letter of submission to the emperor on behalf of King Kru, indicating his submission to Dachu. Obey the orders of the Great Chu Emperor. There were also good horses, treasure swords, and fat sheep brought from Kru.

And the emperor also waved his hand and rewarded Kru with 10,000 taels of gold and countless cloths.

Then there is the burning of incense and prayers, the covenant between the two countries, and finally the emperor rewarding the king of Kru and the palace ministers of Kru. Let them be branded as officials of Da Chu.

In fact, this is just a formality. King Crewe is still King Crewe. The emperor has the power to reward him, but it is not easy for him to remove King Crewe at will. The only difference is that he received a salary from the emperor, and the emperor will have more say in the affairs of Kru in the future.

After the state banquet ended, Chu Ziheng was even busier, because the next thing was a series of visits, tours, cultural exchanges between the two countries and other things, as the person in charge of the reception of the Crewe mission, he had to take everything into account, after all, the slightest carelessness would hurt the country's body.

And Ruoyun is a little more idle here, because the queen took over the reception of the second prince and princess of Kru, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

On this day, just as Ruoyun had lunch in the mansion and was about to take a nap, Dong Hong hurriedly came in from outside, and said with a little bad on her face: "Girl, the news that came in just now was that the prince beat the second prince of Kru on the street!" ”

Ruoyun was stunned when he heard this, and thought that he had heard it wrong, Chu Ziheng beat the second prince of Kru on the street, how could this be possible?

Let's not mention that Chu Ziheng was originally the reception envoy this time, it was I who received the Kru delegation well, and according to Chu Ziheng's calm temperament, it is impossible to beat people on the street!

Besides, this second prince of Kru has an extremely smooth temperament, he laughs before he sees someone, and he is very good at coaxing people, how can a person like him anger Chu Ziheng, and then let Chu Ziheng beat him on the street!

However, Ruoyun looked at Dong Hong's face and knew that since the news had come over, there should be no fake, so he asked, "What's the matter?" What's with? ”

"At noon today, the prince feasted the second prince of Kru and the officials of Kru at Zhiweifang, the second prince of Kru didn't know what was going on, he drank a little too much, and after going out, he teased a passing girl on the street, and the prince taught the second prince a lesson!" Dong Hong said.

"Are you saying that the second prince of Kru molested a girl on the street, and then the prince beat him?" Ruoyun asked in disbelief.

Because even if the second prince of Kru was drunk and molested a woman from a good family on the street, Chu Ziheng just pulled it away, there is no need to beat people on the street, after all, this second prince of Kru is here, so he has to give some face.

"Yes!" Donghong nodded.

"Then tell me more!" Ruoyun said.

It turned out that Chu Ziheng invited the second prince of Kru to a banquet in Zhiweifang today, and the second prince of Kru was full of praise after eating the food of this Zhiweifang, and he was very interested, and he couldn't stop drinking wine one after another.

The liquor in Zhiweifang is different from ordinary liquor, and the liquor in it is a high liquor after Ruoyun has been distilled and purified, named Daohuaxiang.

This Daohua wine is also sold in limited quantities in Zhiweifang, but today it is because his prince entertained the second prince of Kru that there is no limited quantity.

The second prince of Crewe ate food and drank fine wine, he couldn't stop, Chu Ziheng was also persuaded but not persuaded, after all, people said that people came all the way from Crewe, and it is estimated that this kind of good thing will not be eaten a few times, so let the family enjoy it.

Chu Ziheng couldn't say anything more, after all, if he said it again, it seemed that he was reluctant to get these things.

In the end, the minister who followed Crewe saw that the second prince was drinking with red ears and red ears, and the logic of his speech was a little unclear, so in order to prevent the second prince from making a fool of himself, he quickly persuaded him.

The second prince should not, and only reluctantly agreed when Chu Ziheng agreed, and then asked someone to send some rice flowers to his residence.

The second prince went out on the front foot, and Chu Ziheng told Wang Shuisheng on the back foot to remember to send some rice flowers to the residence where the second prince Crewe was staying, when he heard bursts of exclamations on the street outside.

Chu Ziheng hurriedly went out and found that the second prince of Klu, who had already drunk too much, was pulling a passing girl on the street at this time, hugging and hugging others, and the big mouth with a mouthful of wine was about to kiss the face of the girl.

And the ministers and guards who followed on the side stood there a little confused, not knowing what to do.

Chu Ziheng was angry, and flew over to pull away the second prince of Krewe, his hand fell on the shoulder of the second prince of Krewe, trying to pull him away.

However, the second prince of Kru drank a lot of wine just now, and as soon as he went out, he was blown by the wind, and the smell of wine was up, and now he was already delirious, and he was dragged by Chu Ziheng like this, not only was he angry, but he waved his hand and slapped Chu Ziheng with a palm, and Chu Ziheng slapped him with his backhand.

The second prince of Crewe staggered back a few steps, until he came to a stop when he came to a carriage parked in front of the Zhiwei Fang.

At the same time, the woman who was entangled by the second prince of Kru also screamed in surprise and quickly ran into the crowd in fright.

Although Chu Ziheng's palm just now was not forced, the drunken second prince of Kru was already unclear, and Kru had something wild in his nature, so he consciously thought that someone was provoking him.

When he saw the beauty he liked running away, the second prince was suddenly angry and jealous, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Chu Ziheng originally walked over to appease the second prince of Kru, but the second prince suddenly took out his waist knife and slashed at Chu Ziheng.

Chu Ziheng knew that the second prince of Kru had drunk too much, and he didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he just avoided it.

If it was someone else on the other side, Chu Ziheng might subdue him now, but the other party was a foreign envoy, and he still had to pay attention to some proportions.

But the more Chu Ziheng dodged, the more the drunken second prince couldn't hit anyone, the more irritable he became, and he kept waving his waist knife and slashing indiscriminately.

Zhiweifang is located on the most prosperous Zijin Street in the capital, at this time there are people and traffic on this street, and the second prince of Kru is waving a knife on the street like this, disturbing a lot of people.

It frightened him even more that if there was a horse stampede, there might be human lives, Chu Ziheng generally arranged for the guards to deal with the startled horses, and the crowd of people, while thinking about how to appease the second prince of Naklu.

I saw that because the second prince of Nakru couldn't hit him, he actually waved it here and rushed into the crowd, and he couldn't help but be angry, flew over directly, and slapped the back of the second prince Nakru on the head.

The second prince of Nakru only felt that his eyes were dark, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and then he fainted to the ground.

And this incident came out that King An beat the second prince Kru on the street, although it was for a reason, but he still knocked people unconscious. (To be continued......)
