Chapter 125: Diplomacy
"You and the crown princess, how is it going?" Chu Junlan suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Chu Jinrong was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and snorted vaguely, "That's it, we have a good relationship." His eyes flickered a few times unconsciously.
Chu Junlan pursed his lips, obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, he turned the page and said lightly: "You should work harder, give birth to the emperor and grandson as soon as possible, so as to continue the royal bloodline." ”
"The son respectfully obeys his father's instructions...... Belch...... Well? Chu Jinrong was stunned for a moment, and looked at the side face of Chu Junlan sitting upright reading a book above with a stunned expression, his expression focused and cold. The corners of his mouth twitched violently, and if he could use such a serious tone to urge them to have children, he would only be the father.
"What's the problem?" Chu Junlan frowned, put down the book, and looked at him with deep eyes that were undoubted.
Chu Jinrong coughed embarrassedly twice, "Father, we are still young now, and we are about having a child...... No hurry, no hurry. "With this terrible look to force him to have a baby, Emma, he was so scared.
On the other side, the concubines in the palace heard that Li Qiuchi had entered the palace, and they all clamored to learn cooking skills from her.
"Chef, look at whether I've done the right thing, I always feel a little wrong......," a pink concubine held the recipe to her.
"Chef, take a look at me first! I've written the steps here, but it's not the right thing to do. The other concubine hurriedly said.
"Chef, teach me how to make that cherry blossom cake from last time!"
A group of people gathered around Li Qiuchi, and kept coming near her, Li Qiuchi was helpless by them, "Take your time one by one, don't squeeze." ”
"What are you all squeezing!" The red-clothed concubine roared angrily, and the surroundings fell silent in an instant, and their eyes fell on the red-clothed concubine outside the crowd. Li Qiuchi also looked over, only to see a coldness flashing in the eyes of the red-clothed concubine, "You are already very annoying to ask the chef god for her cooking skills like this, and one by one you have to make up for her, if you get closer, what can you learn?" It's just going to add to the trouble. ”
Li Qiuchi was moved in his heart, and silently praised the red-clothed concubine. That's just right! The sprinklers are going to be squeezed into meatloaf!
The red-clothed concubine strode over, her eyes were full of anger, and the surrounding concubines subconsciously made way for her. Li Qiuchi also looked at her, not knowing what she was going to do.
I saw the red-clothed concubine walk up to Li Qiuchi, take out a small notebook, and smile flatteringly at her: "God of Cooking, look at my ......"
"......" Li Qiuchi.
Everyone cut and continued to squeeze towards Li Qiuchi's vicinity, "Kitchen God, take a look at my ...... first" The noisy voice kept ringing next to Li Qiuchi's ears, and for a while, Li Qiuchi felt that his ears were about to explode.
Outside the crowd, Fu Lin had a gloomy face, looking at Li Qiuchi, who was supported by all the concubines, and felt extremely jealous in his heart.
"Princess, let's go back." Cai Ping looked at Fu Lin, whose face had completely sunk, and said softly.
"I don't need you to remind you!" Fu Lin's voice was cold, and the more she looked at the front, the more anger rolled in her heart, "Isn't it just a few dishes to fry?" What to be proud of! is also a self-proclaimed kitchen god, what an arrogance and arrogance! ”
Cai Ping also hurriedly agreed, "It's just a villain's ambition, the princess doesn't have to worry too much about this." ”
"Do I mind?" Fu Lin sneered, "What do I have to worry about? What is her identity that deserves my attention? A lowly businessman! As he spoke, Fu Lin's eyes were fixed on Li Qiuchi, clenching his fists tightly.
Looking at you like this, it's clear that you are very mindful. Cai Ping muttered in her heart. But she didn't dare to say it, she just smiled: "The princess is right, she is just a lowly businessman, why bother with it." ”
Fu Lin's face was even more ugly, and she glanced at Cai Ping coldly, "You mean, I can't even compare to a lowly businessman?" ”
Cai Ping was stunned for a moment, she hurriedly explained, "No, the slave maid is saying that the crown princess is far inferior to the princess, and she claims to be big, such an arrogant and conceited style is annoying." ”
Fu Lin snorted, and his gaze at Li Qiuchi became much lighter, "Let's go." ”
Cai Ping wiped the sweat from her face, her eyes were full of the rest of her life, and she hurriedly followed Fulin.
However, at this time, the imperial court was arguing over diplomatic matters.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that in order for the subject countries to have no dissent, they must first have sufficient resources. We can send a few boxes of gold, silver and jewellery to them so that they feel that we value them and thus eradicate dissent. Master Chen stood up and said in a deep voice.
"What Lord Chen said is not right," Lord Guo glanced at him contemptuously and slowly stood up, "In previous years, it was rewarded like this, and it didn't make those vassal countries have different hearts. The emperor and Weichen felt that material things could not eradicate dissent, and that some businessmen should be installed in their country to grasp important economic information in order to win over the people. ”
Lord Chen sneered disdainfully, "A puppet is a puppet, he will only come up with some useless ideas, the whole country is their territory, acting under the noses of others, once you are discovered, do you know what will happen?" Don't be self-defeating and make other people suspicious. Therefore, Lord Guo will only be brave for a while. ”
Anger appeared in Lord Guo's eyes, but he couldn't find the words to refute for a long time, and his face turned red, "Why is Lord Chen so aggressive!" ”
"Could it be that I'm wrong?" Lord Chen said sarcastically, "Lord Guo didn't think about it, so he came up directly to ask for a performance, not to mention delaying the emperor's time, and also made a good decision." I don't know, I thought it was because of your incompetence. ”
"Your method is very good," Lord Guo sneered, "You were the one who proposed to send gold, silver and jewelry to the subject countries over the years, but what was the result?" We should have different hearts, and so far our friendship with other countries has not progressed! ”
Lord Chen's eyes widened, "You ......"
"If you make any more noise, I'll ask the Guards to throw you both out." Chu Junlan's cold voice sounded in the main hall.
The two of them were suddenly silent and silently retreated.
Chu Junlan wrinkled his brows with a headache, and his eyes were even colder. He swept around the people below, but saw that they were all with their heads lowered, and he said coldly: "Do the other Aiqing have no opinions?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and stood up one after another to express their opinions, and for a while the court became noisy again.
Chu Junlan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked more and more ugly. Speaking of which, they are all methods that have been used in previous years, not only are they not new, but they are also useless!
The eunuch next to him saw the fatigue in Chu Junlan's eyes, and he asked the people below to calm down, and then retreated.
