The empress rolled her eyes at him and was too lazy to talk to him. He used his chopsticks to fiddle with the red vegetables and asked curiously: "What is this red thing? It tastes very strange and exciting."
"Pepper, a crop from overseas." Jiang Fan said as he cooked the meat slices.
"Overseas..." The empress' eyes suddenly moved: "Have you found a good breed overseas?"
Jiang Fan nodded and smiled: "Most of them are found."
The empress was immediately stunned, "...ten thousand catties of food?"
"Yeah." Jiang Fan said casually, "It's not just that."
The empress' beautiful eyes suddenly shone: "Is this true?"
"Really, Tian Yuan, the ancestor of the farmer, is taking care of it personally. It's like a treasure, and I won't even be allowed to touch it."
"Of course this is a treasure, the greatest treasure in the world! Incomparable!" the empress said excitedly.
She was filled with surprise. What Jiang Fan said to her when she visited the Qingyun Mountain Greenhouse came true.
This was really exciting. Even though she was as calm as she was, she couldn't control her emotions for a while. He almost dropped his chopsticks on the spot and rushed to Lishan, but Jiang Fan finally stopped him.
"The things are there. You can't lose them. Don't rush this moment."
The empress sat down, calmed her mind a little, grabbed a jar, filled a bowl of wine and raised it high: "This glass of wine, on behalf of the people of Qin and the people of the world, I respect you."
The significance of these crops is too great. Once they are promoted throughout the country, the Qin Dynasty will first be freed from the risk of hunger. When the five kingdoms are unified and promoted across the world, the suffering of the people in the world will be relieved.
Jiang Fan picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, wiped his lips and said with a smile: "So, when it comes to eating, why can't you be the best in the world?"
After a long time, the empress finally calmed down and looked at the boiling hot pot: "You are right. Food is the most important thing for the people. You are number one in the world. You deserve it. You can carry this eternal reputation."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated. I just found the seeds. I didn't create them."
The empress shook her head: "No, the sea is endless. If it weren't for you, no one would be able to get these for hundreds of thousands of years. Do you know that if what you say is proven to be true, all the people in the world will be worshiped for eternity."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "That's not necessary, but... is it enough as a betrothal gift?"
The empress was stunned, then glared at him, opened her mouth, and actually said: "That's enough."
Jiang Fan smiled: "I was joking."
The empress looked at him seriously: "I didn't."
It was Jiang Fan's turn to be stunned, and his chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
"...Speaking of which, we had a wedding, and the bride price came a little late."
The empress said: "The world doesn't know."
"Don't you care about what the world thinks?"
The empress was silent for a moment: "Maybe... it's needed now."
"Because of the Feng family?"
The empress said: "They are very annoying, but you know there is a reason."
Jiang Fan was a little helpless: "You must have heard about such a big thing as being crowned king of the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as you came back... Why does it always look like a deal?"
"I am the emperor."
Jiang Fan sighed slightly: "Then...let the world know?"
The empress nodded: "It's time."
Jiang Fan slowly put down his chopsticks, a little lost in thought, and then said after a while: "Let's do it again."
again? The empress was stunned.
Jiang Fan looked at her seriously: "That time...can't be counted."
The empress said slowly: "Because, the bride in your eyes that time was not me..."
Jiang Fan was a little bitter: "I'm sorry."
The empress shook her head: "You don't have to say these three words, my thoughts were not pure at the time."
When Jiang Fan heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "So it's even?"
The empress said: "Okay. This time it's you and Ying Wushuang."
Jiang Fan clapped his hands: "Then... let's get engaged."
Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and said, "Sure, do you want to marry someone else or get married?"
The empress looked at him: "Didn't you think about it?"
Jiang Fan said helplessly: "Now, I have no choice but to get married."
The empress blinked: "Look, this is what happened in the end."
Jiang Fan snorted, "No, this is an engagement, marriage is not like that."
The empress snorted, as if she didn't care much about more distant issues.
Just as he raised his chopsticks, he suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Fan: "Is she... still alive?"
Jiang Fan was stunned: "Should be alive."
The empress said: "Very good, you belong to... what is called... a scumbag?"
Jiang Fan opened his mouth and looked a little bitter: "Yes, scumbag."
The empress seemed to notice that he was in a low mood: "Maybe you will eventually find your way back to your hometown. Then, I won't stop you..."
Jiang Fan shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I can't tell where my hometown is now -"
A deep yearning surged in like a high tide, unstoppable but extremely tangled.
The empress looked at him in a daze and didn't disturb him. She just drank the spicy wine quietly.
Jiang Fan finally came to his senses and let out a long breath: "I was distracted."
The empress filled him with wine: "Drink some, you will feel homesick when you are drunk."
Jiang Fan smiled: "Our hometown says we miss home when we are full."
"it's the same."
"But getting married is different from marrying a wife." Mr. Jiang was a little worried.
The empress smiled and said: "Da Zhou's actions are even more disgusting than those of the Feng family."
Jiang Fan snorted: "This is a conspiracy."
"It's not all a conspiracy. Dazhou also wants to survive, and Taiyue is not run by the Dazhou family."
Jiang Fan nodded: "The Western Heavenly King who governs the country and the Holy Envoy who supervises the country, it's a shame they can think of it."
The empress said: "Emperor Zhou's life is difficult. It is already difficult to maintain the status quo. What's more, Taiyue is still betting everywhere. Emperor Zhou's deeper intention is to protect himself."
Jiang Fan had already figured this out under the guidance of Lao Zaifu: "I just don't know if Taiyue understands it."
The empress said: "Tai Yue is not a fool. There must be someone who understands Emperor Zhou's intention. However, Tai Yue is not a monolith, and there are many people who support the Great Zhou. Others know that this move first has the effect of dividing the Great Qin, which is currently the most important. It’s important, so I’ll pretend that I haven’t thought of it for the time being, and we’ll talk about the rest later.”
Jiang Fan shook his head: "Emperor Zhou Ping, I'm really sad."
The empress said: "The contemporary human emperor is called Zhou Pinghuang. The world only knows that he seeks justice for peace in the world, but they don't know that the real meaning of Pinghuang is to calm the world and revive the Zhou Dynasty."
"It's difficult. In fact, they should withdraw from the stage of history."
"It's impossible. First of all, I'm absolutely not willing to do this kind of thing, and secondly, I can't do it."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "No?"
The empress said: "For the dynasty, quitting means death. The royal family does not want to be destroyed."
Jiang Fan suddenly realized that it was indeed the case. No one would keep a failed royal family. Wouldn't that leave a source of disaster? Just like the Feng family dynasty, it has finally come back to life after a long period of time.
"So, your response is to get engaged?" The empress reacted quickly enough.
"In this way, I can justifiably reject the prince of Zhenxi, and there will be no claims that he is the Holy Envoy of the country."
The empress chuckled: "It's a weird but wonderful trick."
