Xiao Jinjia, Prince Yi, Prince Zhao, Prince Kun, Prince Qiu and others couldn't help but change their expressions.

Especially Prince Kun.

He could see that Prince Yixuan's shrewdness, since he had already openly euphemistically expressed his admiration for Xiao Qiongzhi to Xiao Han just now, then he must have deliberately checked what admirers Xiao Qiongzhi had.

This time, Prince Xuan didn't mention it to anyone else, and specifically mentioned the Great Empire of the Overseas Ilan Empire.

It shows that this sk, in the eyes of Prince Xuan, is the biggest threat when pursuing Xiao Qiongzhi.

It also shows that this sk is determined to win Xiao Qiongzhi.

After all, not only did the Yilan Empire start learning the Great Xiao language, but he himself had also learned the Great Xiao language for four years.

If it weren't for Xiao Qiongzhi, how could people bother with this?

And what Xiao Qiongzhi admires the most is not the prince of the Great Xiao vassal states like him, nor the princes of neighboring countries like Prince Xuan and Prince Yi, but the great emperor of the overseas Ilan Empire, which shows that Xiao Qiongzhi really has plans to be the world hegemon.

Because, for Xiao Qiongzhi, the overseas Yilan Empire is a completely strange country, and in that place, there is not a single relative of Xiao Qiongzhi.

According to Xiao Qiongzhi's intelligence, if he didn't have the intention of marrying with Ske and becoming the world overlord together, it would be impossible to give Ske any hope at all, let alone give Ske the opportunity to propose.

He asked Xiao Qiongzhi with some trepidation: "Zhi'er, if Scott proposes to you when you are together, will you agree to him?" ”

"I don't know, I won't have my birthday until March next year, so it's too early to think about it now." Xiao Qiongzhi said calmly.

But in her heart, she was a little shocked.

That year, not long after she returned to Beijing, she was summoned to the palace by Xiao Xuanliang, and after some in-depth talks, she was promoted by Xiao Xuanliang to the National Teacher of Daxiao, and got the power to be in charge of Daxiao's economic construction, military construction, and education management.

In order to do a good job in these three pieces, she spent the first three years almost every day in exhaustion.

For example, in the area of cultivating hybrid rice, in order to cultivate high-quality hybrid rice seeds, she lied in front of Xiao Zhengzhen and Chen Lingfeng that she wanted to go abroad to learn more, and left a book without saying goodbye.

In fact, she personally took Xiao Xuanliang and a group of people in charge of farming assigned to her to the countryside of Nanzheng County, which is nearly 800 miles away from the capital, and devoted most of her energy to cultivating high-quality hybrid rice seeds.

She instructed them on how to find pollen-aborted male sterile wild rice from common wild rice communities.

Then, wild rice was used as the raw material of the female parent, and sterile lines and maintainer lines were bred through crossbreeding and continuous merit-based backcrossing.

At the same time, a number of restorer lines were screened out by using the "wild defeat" sterile lines and domestic varieties, as well as foreign varieties found by Dongxing, Nanqi, and sent envoys from further overseas.

In this way, after three years, the three lines of indica-type hybrid rice were finally realized, and three kinds of hybrid rice were cultivated.

Xiao Qiongzhi named them excellent rice, soft rice, and fragrant rice.

Among them, the yield of excellent rice is high, the yield per mu can exceed 1,000 catties, double cropping, and has the characteristics of fertilizer tolerance, lodging resistance, drought tolerance, wide adaptability and good rice quality.

The yield of soft rice is slightly lower, the yield per mu is more than 800 catties, and the double cropping also has the characteristics of fertilizer tolerance, lodging resistance, drought tolerance, wide adaptability and good rice quality.

Fragrant rice has the highest yield, more than 1,200 catties per mu, but it is a single season, not very fertilizer-tolerant, lodging-resistant, drought-resistant, and poorly adaptable, only suitable for planting in the south of the Yangtze River, but the rice quality is very good.

Three years later, Xiao Qiongzhi returned to Beijing and wanted to rest for a while, so with Xiao Xuanliang's consent, he traveled overseas to broaden his horizons.

At that time, Xiao Zhengzhen had already led the people of the Ministry of Industry to improve their smelting and casting skills under her advice, and built a large ship that could travel far across the ocean.

She took the 2,000 people given by Xiao Xuanliang, spent nearly a year, and traveled to more than 20 countries overseas in one go.

Among them, it was the longest stay in the Ilan Empire, up to four months.

Mainly because this country, which is closer to the ancient Roman Empire in the world she remembers, is the most powerful existence in the entire Western countries.

Its territory is quite vast, spanning three continents, and its private industry and military industry are relatively developed.

The most important thing is that although it is only eighteen years old, it is very capable of governing the country and expanding its territory, and it is also handsome, tenacious and calm, open-minded, generous and enthusiastic, and acts in a relaxed manner, which is far from being comparable to ordinary young talents.

At that time, although she was only ten years old, she was deeply attracted to him from the first time they met.

Fortunately, there is a language barrier on both sides.

Although Ske treats her very well, she uses Latin that is similar to what she understands and remembers of another world, and she doesn't know Da Xiao at all, and she only knows a little Ilan, and every communication requires the presence of interpreters from both sides.

In addition, she is only ten years old, and even if she obviously seems to admire her very much, she is still really embarrassed, and she can only express her admiration to her bluntly, so she can only recognize her as a sister first, and then, in practical actions, treat her very well, and win her heart.

It can be said that during the four months she was in the Ilan Empire, the entire Ilan Empire, all the beautiful places, were taken to see enough by her Weifu private interview.

Later, after leaving the Ilan Empire, Ske kept in touch with her, writing her a letter every day, telling her what he did every day and pouring out his thoughts about her.

By the time she returned to the Prince's Mansion from overseas, Chen Lingfeng had already helped her collect a large basket of letters written by Ske!

She was so moved that she took the time to read all the letters, and wrote a long twenty-page letter to Ske, which told about what she had seen and felt after leaving the Ilan Empire and traveling to other countries.

As a result, in the next letter, Ske began to reveal that he wanted to strengthen and improve the strength of the Ilan Empire, and strive to conquer the whole world within ten years, so that she could play wherever she wanted, and he could accompany her to play wherever she wanted to play on the grounds of a private visit.

She was even more moved, and when she replied, she jokingly told Ske, then she waited for Ske for ten years, and if Ske could really conquer the whole world within ten years, then she would marry Ske and be the queen of Ske.

Unexpectedly, Skexin thought it was true, and when he wrote again, he made it clear that he would do what he said, and she would not marry in this life.

Moreover, every time Ske wrote from then on, she was called "my future queen", even if she specifically explained that she was just joking when she said that she was marrying Ske, and Ske refused to correct her title.

She really liked Skez anyway, so she didn't deliberately correct Ske's title.
