Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman, what she said was right or not, he did want to sell porcelain to neighboring countries, but it was not sold to those merchants.

Moreover, he also heard that those merchants took Donglan's porcelain and sold it to the royal family at a high price, making a lot of profits from it.

If it goes on like this for a long time, it is not suitable, so Lu Li thought about discussing with everyone how to solve it, so he said.

"It's not to sell to merchants, for the sake of peace between countries, I want to have a good relationship with the royal family opposite, what can you do?"

Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li, who was puzzled, and thought that he should make friends with his neighbors, so he began to think about a method.

Shi Ji was really on the side, and he didn't know how to answer, but he did have some methods, in this case, it would be better to sell it directly to the royal family of a neighboring country.

Thinking about it like this, Shi Ji Zhen also looked at Lu Li, who was in the upper position, and said.

"In that case, why don't we trade directly with the royal families of neighboring countries? In this way, they don't have to buy from black-hearted businessmen at a high price, and they may stabilize diplomatic relations, what do you think? ”

Su Xiaoman was thinking about how to contact the royal family over there, and after listening to Shi Jizhen's words, he frowned a little.

It's possible to talk directly to the royal family on the other side, but if they send someone first, it may seem that they have lost their identity, so this matter cannot be resolved so hastily.

Lu Weizhong also felt so, after all, Donglan was not a small country, and it still existed with dignity, so he spoke.

"Master Shi is right, but the focus is on how to get the royal family on the other side to contact us, not us to send it to the door."

Shi Ji really heard it and suddenly realized that if he took the initiative, he might lose face, so he quieted down and seriously thought about how to do it.

At this time, Su Xiaoman thought of a good way, so he clapped his hands, and then said.

"We're not going to do that." After that, Su Xiaoman looked back at everyone, and then continued: "Let's ignore those merchants first, and then reveal that these are all specialties of our country. ”

Everyone didn't understand Su Xiaoman's words, and they all looked at her suspiciously, waiting for her to continue.

The more Su Xiaoman thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, so he danced and preached.

"Since the royal family of the neighboring country likes it, and when they see that there is no goods, they will definitely go and inquire, and when the time comes, they will definitely find out the craftsmanship of our country, and if they really want to, they will naturally come to visit, what do you think?"

If you really like it, you will definitely come and find it by any means, so you just sit back and wait for them to come.

After that, Lu Li immediately issued an order, asking the people in Zhanzhou to reply that they would not supply goods, and sent those merchants who came again.

When the scientific examination was over, the candidates of the various middle schools were in good places, and within a few months, there was a news that the envoys had been sent to visit.

In order to greet him, Su Xiaoman once again disguised himself as the queen and took charge of the overall situation.

may be because he has never met with the envoys of the countries across the sea, so listening to the lame language, Su Xiaoman is a little confused.

At the feast, the envoy was very respectful and peaceful

The speeches of the people, whether it is or not, also reveal some of the purpose of this visit.

"This king, the food in your country does not taste ordinary, and some decorations are different from ours."

Su Xiaoman looked at the foreigner with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and other colors, his eyes were full of curiosity, but he didn't expect this foreigner to be very good-looking.

Lu Li was looking at the envoy, and he glanced at Su Xiaoman, and found that she was staring at others directly, a little surprised, so he responded with an indifferent tone.

"The envoy laughed, presumably because of the different regions, so there are some differences."

After that, Lu Li still didn't like Su Xiaoman's eyes when he looked at them, so he quipped.

"But the people in your country are really good-looking, and I have never seen anyone with such a symbol in Donglan."

Su Xiaoman came back to his senses and stared at Lu Li to question what he meant.

Lu Li saw that his goal had succeeded, the corners of his mouth hooked the corners of his mouth, and he finally pulled Xiao Man's eyes back with smugness in his heart.

After hearing this, the envoy thought that the king of Donglan liked beautiful women, and he didn't know if the beautiful women he brought could get into his eyes.

After looking at the queen beside him, Luo Luo was very generous and very exquisite, so he said a little embarrassed.

"King Donglan must like beautiful women, in addition to bringing my country's specialties this time, I also specially brought beautiful women here, let her perform to cheer up this banquet."

With that, he beckoned to the servants behind him, and said something that everyone could not hear.

When the servant had heard the order, he turned and went out, and then he brought many beautiful women to help him.

Su Xiaoman stared at Lu Li with a very bad face, he didn't expect him to have such a thought, so he quietly pinched Lu Li's leg while they were dancing.

Lu Li didn't expect this to happen, feeling the pain in his legs, but he still maintained a smile on his face, so that outsiders couldn't see any flaws.

This time, the foreign envoys brought a group of women, although they were all beautiful women, but the leading dancers were even more stunning, and all the ministers who came together were shocked by their appearances.

Su Xiaoman felt a sense of loss, and felt that he could do it with him, but now that he saw those foreign women, he was a little disappointed.

She had no intention of performing with the crowd, looking at Lu Li who was staring below, thinking that if he liked it, he would let it go, after all, as the head of a country, how could he do it without some harem.

Lu Li hindered her face, looked at the foreign envoy's gaze, nodded and smiled, which was a little ironic in Su Xiaoman's eyes, and made her feel a little indescribable in her heart.

"Okay."

Su Xiaoman didn't know how long he had been staring at Lu Li, and he knew that he heard the applause of the ministers, so he slowly applauded along.

When the envoy saw that the dancer he had brought had finished performing, he waved his hand to let the others stand back, stepped forward and pulled the most outstanding woman, and said respectfully.

"Respected King Donglan, this is the most handsome woman in my country, if the king does not dislike it, it will be a symbol of friendship between the two countries, okay?"

At this time, Su Xiaoman's heart was even more lost, and his eyes widened and stared at the low-eyebrow woman in the hall.

Lu Li saw that this was the case, but the foreign envoy was not easy to refuse, so he explained.

"The envoy has a heart, but I have no intention of establishing a concubine, so please forgive the envoy."

Su Xiaoman couldn't think normally now, he couldn't hear any explanation in his ears, and sat aside with empty eyes.

The envoy heard what Lu Li meant, and felt that he was being polite, and he didn't like to expose his preferences on such an occasion, so he said with a smile.

"King Donglan doesn't have to, if you don't like it, it's okay to leave her to serve you, serve tea and pour water or something, or let her dance to help the fun when you have nothing to do."

The ministers under the hall also felt that Lu Li should be a concubine, thinking that this was a good opportunity.

Someone chimed in.

"The emperor can consider it."

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't excuse himself, he frowned helplessly, and quietly looked at Su Xiaoman beside him.

Seeing that Su Xiaoman's face was expressionless, he was a little panicked in his heart, and suddenly became incoherent, so he said vaguely.

"We'll talk about it later, let's talk about the purpose of the envoy's visit first."

When the envoy saw that Lu Li said it directly, he asked him to go down and returned to his seat.

Then he went through the prepared words in his head, and said the purpose of his visit with a smile.

"That's right, I heard that Donglan is rich in porcelain and silk, and our king likes it very much, not only can I buy it from your country."

Lu Li stretched out his hand and quietly placed it on Su Xiaoman's hand, wanting to express his meaning and show that he loved her.

But Su Xiaoman felt Lu Li's temperature, so he directly shook off his hand and didn't let him get close to him, which made Lu Li very panicked.

He glanced at the envoy, and then said hurriedly.

"I didn't expect that the king of your country would like it, and this sale can indeed be considered."

When the envoy saw that there was a play, he was very excited, and thought that it was the credit of the beautiful woman, so he classified Lu Li as a womanizer.

Su Xiaoman couldn't stand the current atmosphere, and when the banquet was about to end, he said that he was tired, and then retired with everyone.

Pearl Xianglan followed Su Xiaoman and slowly left the banquet room, and there was something wrong in her heart.

Lu Li couldn't lose his courtesy, so he continued to deal with the envoy, and could only look at the back of Su Xiaoman leaving, and he was a little uneasy.

Away from the courtyard of the banquet, Pearl stood on Su Xiaoman's side, a little uneven, and then said angrily.

"The emperor too, he knows Madame's thoughts, and he still disappoints Madame, I don't think that dancing girl is good-looking, she looks like a fox at first glance."

Here in the palace, Xianglan felt that it was a little unreasonable for her to say this, and coughed lightly to signal her not to talk nonsense.

Pearl didn't talk about it when she heard the prompt, but Su Xiaoman paused, felt that she was a little rude, and then opened her mouth to teach

。

"This is the palace, you should rest your words and deeds at all times, you must not say that in the future, you know?"

Pearl also felt that what she said was a little excessive, so she lowered her head and whispered.

"Yes, ma'am, Pearl knows it's wrong."

Su Xiaoman took Pearl Xianglan and the two of them, said to the palace where they had changed clothes, changed into their regular clothes, and took the two out of the palace to return to Lufu.

The palace people in the palace all knew that when the envoys were received before, the queen would stay for a few days, but they didn't expect that this time she didn't stay.

Because of his identity, he didn't ask any more questions, so he could only watch this Su Xiaoman leave with the servant, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

When Su Xiaoman returned to Lu Mansion and packed up and lay on the bed, Lu Li hurriedly ended the banquet and went to Su Xiaoman's palace, and asked with a dark face when he saw no one.

"What about the Queen?"

Those palace maids had never seen the emperor angry, and they didn't dare to speak one by one, and at this time, a big palace maid in charge stepped forward and responded.

"Go back to the emperor, the queen mother, come back and change your clothes and leave."
