227. 227: The envoy of Fanbang
After searching for two days at the bottom of the cliff to no avail, Wu Ying was a little desperate, and I don't know if there will be some hidden mountain people in this deep mountain to rescue him.
Originally, they were going to expand the area to search, but they had to be delayed by another incident in the capital.
Since the founding of Qingling, it has accepted the worship of envoys from all over the country, especially in recent years, Fanbang has frequent activities, so that the emperor is quite worried, this time Fanbang came to Beijing, I don't know what happened.
Qin Yan persuaded for a long time, and promised that Wu Ying would continue to send someone to look for her, and she would definitely not give up this time, so she nodded reluctantly.
After returning to Beijing, Qin Yan began to be busy, meeting guests in the study all day long, Wu Ying's heart was a lot easier, if he dangled in front of her all day, I am afraid she would really not dare to go out of the door.
And after coming back this time, Wu Ying's belly also began to show her pregnancy, and she couldn't hide it, not to mention that she didn't plan to hide it, this child was expected.
In the future, Zhi'er will no longer be alone, in the future, there will be someone who has blood with him, and they will support each other.
"Mother, can I not go to my husband's class?" People arrive before they arrive, this is Xiao Chengzhi's style.
"Huh?" Wu Ying raised her head from the book, "Why don't you want to go?" ”
Zhi'er's virtual age is almost three years old, and he has a lot of ghost ideas on weekdays, Wu Ying thinks he is still quite smart, just trying to find a gentleman for him to learn something, and after returning to the capital, she was just about to start doing it, but she was told that during the time she left Beijing, Qin Yan had already found a good husband for him, and he was still one of the top bachelors in Beijing.
And she also discovered that Qin Yan actually set up a separate courtyard in the palace for Zhi'er, and it was only half a month before everyone in the palace changed their minds and called him the little young master.
Does Qin Yan really want to push her into a corner, with a child, do you want her to be a princess in the palace obediently from now on?!
"En......" Xiao Chengzhi lowered his head, pouted, and kept poking and poking with his two fingers, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was afraid of lying in front of his mother, and his mother could always debunk his words.
"Is it because I learned from Mr. that I can't spend more time playing?" Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, how could she not know the idle character in this child's bones.
This kid is not suitable for here, he is mixed with these tedious things all day long, where can he have a good childhood.
Although she also wants her child to grow up, she does not want her child to have all his interests deprived of his studies.
"Mother, can I go back when I want to study?" He can only understand a little bit of what Mr. taught, but Mr. insists that he listen to all of them, he doesn't want to listen!
If Xiao Chengzhi's words were heard by those children outside, then they would all vomit blood.
Bachelor Li, a thirteen-year-old high school talent, was already a jinshi at the age of eighteen, and has been doing editing in the Hanlin Academy for decades, with many disciples, and countless students studying and apprenticeship.
Now the erudite and talented Bachelor Li is disgusted by the lively and active Xiao Chengzhi.
Xiao Chengzhi is so reluctant, of course Wu Ying is up to him, "Well, my mother can promise you, but you also have to promise my mother one thing." ”
"Okay."
"If the pretty uncle gives you something again in the future, you can't ask for it again, okay?" She understood Qin Yan's current thoughts, but no matter how much he did, it would be useless.
The jade pendant that Zhi'er is carrying now is what Qin Yan has been carrying on his body before, and it is very valuable, but he gave such a valuable thing to Zhi'er, at a young age, he is not afraid that children will break it. And the meaning behind this gift of jade pendant has made everyone in the palace regard Zhi'er as the master.
Xiao Chengzhi thought about it carefully, and felt that as long as he didn't accept his beautiful uncle's things casually in the future, he didn't have to go to class, such a thing was very cost-effective, "Okay"
Seeing that the child was so sensible, she was also a lot relieved, "What does Zhi'er want to do now, is it okay for my mother to accompany you?" ”
The small body climbed onto the chaise longue and snuggled up to her side, "Zhi'er doesn't go anywhere, I just want to accompany my mother." ”
Wu Ying's eyes were red because of Xiao Chengzhi's words, "Good boy, what a good child." ”
"Miss." Although Wu Ying is already a princess, Qingyu still calls her a young lady.
"What's the matter?" Because Zhi'er fell asleep on her lap, her voice was unusually soft.
Qingyu also saw it, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "It's Imperial Doctor Lin who is asking for a meeting outside, and I'm here to ask Miss for peace." ”
Wu Ying nodded, "Let him in." Every day, I hear the imperial doctor say that the child in her belly is very healthy, which has become her greatest comfort.
"Yes, the slave maid will take the little young master into the house to sleep."
"This kid wakes up easily, you have to let it go gently."
"Okay."
There was a harmonious scene in the palace, but there was a depressing trend in the court.
"Honorable Emperor of the Celestial Empire, please accept the gift of our Talmu tribe." A group of Fanbang envoys, dressed in an unusual way, performed the most honorable etiquette of their tribe to the emperor.
"The messenger has worked hard all the way, please get up."
"Thank you Emperor Tianchao."
"Please also give my blessing to your leaders."
"This time, I waited for us to enter Beijing to present three treasures of my tribe to the emperor of the Celestial Empire."
"Treasure?"
"Yes." Above the main hall are two chests of different sizes.
The messenger walked up to the smaller box, and the moment he opened the box, the hall suddenly shone with light.
There are already people communicating in secret, "Isn't this the night pearl of the South China Sea?" ”
"yes, it's the first time I've seen it."
The messenger stepped forward and bowed, "This is the biggest moment my tribe has ever found, the Pearl of the Night of the South China Sea, dedicate this to the Celestial Empire, God bless Qingling, proud of the others." ”
The emperor laughed and said three in a row.
The messenger walked over to one of the larger boxes, and only opened a small slit slightly, and those present smelled the smell of the sea.
Everyone was speculating about what it would be, knowing that the messenger was no longer pretending to be mysterious.
"Ah, it's the blood coral of the East China Sea!"
"Oh my God, it's so big, and it's still so intact."
When the box was opened, it had already caused an uproar below, such a large coral, still bright red all over, how much work it would take to fish it up from the East China Sea at a depth of thousands of meters.
The envoy looked at the reactions of the people around him and was very satisfied, so the next thing should also be very smooth.
"As for the third treasure, it is the most precious thing of my tribe, please ask the emperor and courtiers of the Celestial Empire to appreciate it again at tonight's banquet."
The first two treasures have already shocked them, so this last treasure is not a rare treasure.
Everyone is curious, this Talmu tribe is not the richest, but what do you mean by being so attentive this time?
"The leader gave me such a treasure, but what do you want?" The emperor's words finally got to the point.
I saw that the envoy came and saluted, "The Tarmu tribe has suffered drought for many years, the herdsmen have suffered heavy losses, and the number of cattle and sheep has been greatly reduced. ”
With three treasures, exempt the Taermu tribe from taxes for three years, no matter how you look at it, this is a loss for the Qingling Kingdom, and if you set a precedent, wouldn't all the people of the tribe be able to follow suit!
But Fanbang's army has been active frequently in recent years, if you want to shock them, it is bound to give them a little sweetness this time, the majesty of the Celestial Empire is inviolable, and the Fanbang tribe is not unable to agree if they can know the difficulties and retreat.
In such a dilemma, the emperor had no choice but to throw himself to Qin Yan's side to see how he would deal with it.
Qin Yan stood up and said: "Regarding the matter of tax reduction and exemption, it is related to the balance of the treasury, I can not give you an answer today, the envoys have come from afar, we have prepared the palace, and there will be a wonderful banquet tomorrow night, why not rest first." ”
How could the envoy not know that in this Qingling country, the regent's words are true, since he has already said so, if he is forcing the emperor to make a decision, it is really an unwise decision.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, I'll retire now."
