Chapter 16: Meeting with the Envoys (2)
Next was the envoy of Qiguo, and after the middle-aged man saluted, he carried a cage in and said, "I wonder if anyone in the Jiuxing Dynasty can recognize this animal?" With that, he took the cloth off the cage. As soon as Zihan saw the animals in the cage, he ordered the eunuch to pick some bamboo leaves and tender grass.
The others were also wide-eyed and didn't know what the caged animal was. The envoy began to provoke: "Isn't it true that no one in the Jiuxing Dynasty knows the treasures I have paid tribute to?" ”
Zi Han smiled slightly, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Zi Han knows what this is!" ”
Everyone looked at Zihan again, and Long Yusheng asked, "Then Zihan said what kind of animal this is?" ”
Zi Han walked to the cage and touched the animal, everyone gasped, and even the envoy of Qiguo looked at Zi Han in surprise. "This animal's name is Panda, it's an omnivore, and it likes to eat bamboo." As she spoke, Zihan fed the bamboo leaves and tender grass to the panda. "It's gentle, but it's also hurtful."
The envoy of Qiguo arched his hand and said: "We only found this animal a few days ago, but I didn't expect anyone to really know it!" Zihan smiled and sat back in his seat, "I've seen it occasionally before!" ”
Everyone admired Zihan even more, and they also envied Murong Qingzhe for having such a good daughter. Murong Qingzhe was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Then the envoy of the Northern Jue Kingdom arrived, and he put his right hand on his left shoulder and bent down slightly: "I've seen the emperor!" "This is a Mongolian.
"Bold, seeing that the emperor didn't bow down, did he underestimate our Jiuxing Dynasty? Someone..."
"Wait..." Zi Han stopped the minister's behavior, "I think that what the envoys of the Northern Jue Kingdom walked to the emperor just now should be the highest etiquette of their country, and they didn't mean to despise it!" ”
"Yes, I just performed the etiquette that only our Great Khan would enjoy!" The envoy explained.
Long Yusheng looked at Zihan with admiration again, he also thought that the envoy was despising him just now, and he was almost angry.
"Your Majesty, these are gifts from your majesty." After the envoy finished speaking, several people brought in a few mercury mirrors and pocket watches.
Everyone looked at those items in novelty, and Zi Han couldn't sit still excitedly: "This envoy, these things are not owned by your country!" I think it's something for people with blue eyes and curly hair! As soon as Zihan finished speaking, the envoy looked at Zihan in surprise, nodded and said, "It's indeed that kind of person's thing, I don't know if the princess can talk to this person?" ”
Long Yusheng asked Zihan in even more surprise: "Zihan, how do you know?" ”
Zi Han smiled slightly: "It's better to bother the envoy to bring this person to the palace first." When the envoy saw Long Yusheng nodding, he said a few words to the people behind him, and in a short time brought the foreigner to the palace.
Zihan got up and walked in front of the foreigner, and smiled: "Howareyou?" The foreigner was visibly stunned, then excited, and finally someone could speak English. Seeing that the foreigner didn't speak, Zihan then asked, "Mynameis Murong Zihan!" Whatisyourname?”
The foreigner hurriedly replied, "I'mBlack! Nicetomeetyou! WhereamI?” Everyone watched in amazement as Zihan and the foreigner talked.
After a long time, Zihan smiled and said to Long Yusheng: "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Black, the envoy from the West, who came to our East across the ocean, and hopes that the emperor will treat him well, and he is willing to give all his belongings to our country, and only hopes that we will send him back as a boat." ”
The corners of Long Yusheng's mouth hooked up a perfect arc, "If you treat the envoys of the West, the task of taking care of him will be handed over to Zihan!" Zihan nodded in response, turning to explain to Blake.
Blake thanked Long Yusheng, and said to Zihan, "Youareabeautifulgirl!" Ilikeyouverymuch!” After finishing speaking, Blake took Zihan's hand and kissed it gently.
"Bold! Dare to be a thin princess! With that, the guards raised their swords at Blake. Blake looked at Zihan in panic, Zihan turned around and said, "Stand down!" Seeing that the guards were still hesitating, he accentuated his tone: "Don't retreat yet!" The guards retreated, and Zihan said to Blake, "Inourountry, youmustn'tkisswomen'shand!" Blake nodded and said "sorry".
Zihan turned to Long Yusheng and said, "Your Majesty, this is a kind of etiquette in their country, not a frivolous meaning, I hope the emperor will forgive you!" ”
Long Yusheng's magnetic voice sounded: "Those who don't know are not guilty, take Blake down to rest!" Blake walked out of the hall, and Zihan sat back again with everyone's "incredible" eyes.
