Gu Ziyan turned around and looked at the source of the voice. His face suddenly darkened, but then turned into a smile in an instant, "It is Daning's honor that the prince of Beiyan Kingdom comes in person."
Beiyan Country is located in the cold north. Due to climate problems, food production has always been scarce.
Nangong Yue was the first to become unable to sit still, and looked at Yu Su eagerly, but when she saw her reassuring expression, her anxious heart returned to her stomach.
"Hey, why is this person here? Is it because of you, sister?" Murong Lin looked at Yu Su curiously.
Yu Su curled his lips and smiled brightly, "I don't deserve the credit, but I just want the prince of Beiyan Kingdom to know whether the deal they made is worth it. After all, the food is just the tip of the iceberg. When I see better things, naturally Just know what to do.”
Shangguan Yi's ambition is not just as simple as food. She just entered the other party's dream while dealing with the insect infestation, and introduced the wealthy Daning by the way, that's all.
With the distinguished guests arriving, Shubi was left alone and could only watch Gu Ziyan walking towards Shangguan Yi.
But why did she feel that the emperor looked at Shangguan Yi in the same way he looked at a beautiful woman? The next second she was stunned by her own.
Why did you suddenly have this idea?
Shangguan Yi looked around, and when his eyes fell on Su, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes. Wasn't that the fairy sister in the dream?
Yu Su raised her eyes and met his gaze. In the end, she just raised her glass slightly and drank a glass of wine.
Shangguan Yi was almost certain that Yu Su knew him, and then followed Gu Ziyan to discuss matters.
Without Gu Ziyan, the concubines in the palace lost their previous restraint, almost all relaxed, and began to gossip with the concubines with whom they had a better relationship.
"Concubine Xian, Concubine De, you two should accompany me for a walk." Nangong Yue stood up and said calmly.
"Yes" Murong Lin and Yu Su said in unison.
Imperial Garden Pavilion
Gu Ziyan looked at Shangguan Yi with a displeased expression, squeezing the cup in his hand extremely hard, "Why didn't you let the prince know before he came down? If you go out by mistake, wouldn't it mean that I treated your prince harshly?"
"How could it be? If it were passed down, this prince would not be able to see how wealthy Daning is." Shangguan Yi smiled slightly, but his eyes were unusually cold. He picked up the wine glass and said slowly, "Your Majesty is so wealthy. Do you think it’s a bit stingy to exchange three years’ worth of food for the Nangong family’s 300,000 troops?”
"But isn't this what we agreed on at the beginning?" Gu Ziyan's face also darkened.
Shangguan Yi opened the fan in his hand and fanned it slowly a few times, "That was before, but now I feel that the Daning store is not sincere enough and needs to think about it."
Only now did he understand why the fairy said those words that day.
Although agreeing to him to deal with General Nangong's troops did solve his own trouble, what if the other party regrets and uses the 300,000 troops to attack Beiyan?
"So, if His Majesty wants us to take action, we must show real sincerity. We need five years of food, and we need to sign a contract that the two countries will coexist peacefully and never invade! And let the people of the two countries trade freely."
Gu Ziyan crushed the wine glass with force, stared at Shangguan Yi with stern eyes, and said word by word: "Shangguanyi, Beiyan Kingdom, don't go too far, don't forget! I am cooperating with you now, not you. Discuss terms with me."
"What if I, the Crown Prince, hand over the contract between you and us to General Nangong? Does Your Majesty really think that Beiyan Kingdom can't do anything to you?" Shangguan Yi smiled instead of being angry. He fanned the mountain peak a little faster and said, Looks like a good show.
Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to watch them fight among themselves than to cooperate?
"Give me three days to think about it and I will give you an answer later."
Royal Garden Path
All the conversations between the two have fallen into Yu Su's ears. The plot does not have to have such ups and downs to be interesting. How can it be interesting if it is smooth sailing?
Nangong Yue walked in front, and did not stop until she reached a secluded place, "Concubine Xian, do you think they will take action in advance? The food and grass have not arrived yet, and I am really worried about my father and brother."
After all, they are dear relatives. If they say they don't worry about nature, it must be a lie.
"Seeing the prosperous Daning, Shangguan Yi will definitely not compromise so easily. The attack will definitely be unsuccessful. On the contrary, the time will be extended." Yu Su smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He just looked quietly. Ahead.
With this smile, a chill swept through the bodies of Nangong Yue and Murong Lin.
One is glad that it was a kind-hearted move, and the other is glad that it did not lead to a big mistake.
"Dad told me that this man was not suitable to be emperor, but I didn't believe it." Nangong Yue now only feels regret in her heart. If it hadn't been for Yu Su, the Nangong family would have been ruined in her hands.
Nothing but hate.
"Everyone makes wrong choices. It just needs to be corrected later. I think the queen already knows that now."
Silence suddenly struck, and the three of them looked at each other but said nothing.
"Wow!" The sound of the vase breaking broke the moment of tranquility. Yu Su suddenly remembered that Gu Ziyan seemed to be where the sound came from, so he simply took Nangong Yue and Murong Li to the pavilion not far away and hid. In the flowers.
By the way, he took out a wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Nangong Yue, "Melon seeds, Goddess of Flowers, let's sit and watch the show."
He took another piece of waterproof cloth and spread it on the ground. He sat cross-legged and started cracking melon seeds.
Nangong Yue was a little puzzled, so she took the box and opened the lid, then followed Yu Su's example and sat cross-legged on the ground.
It's not too close or too far here, just enough to hear the conversation in the pavilion.
Cui Ming arrived at the pavilion at some point. As soon as he saw Shangguan Yi, he rushed up to him. However, before he could get close, he was pushed away by Shangguan Yi. At this moment, Cui Ming became angry and his voice was sharp and feminine. Crying, "Who are you? Don't think that just because you are good-looking, Ziyan will like you!"
The words shocked Murong Lin and Nangong Yue to the point where they dropped the melon seeds in their hands.
What did they see? Is this what they can see?
Although I had known about such a thing before, I still couldn't accept it when I actually saw it.
Especially when this man is not wearing the kind of clothes that concubines would wear when they go to bed?
The corners of Shangguan Yi's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes looked at Gu Ziyan with unclear meaning, "Your Highness's taste seems to be very unique."
"Your Majesty, speak! Who is he? What are you doing here? Is he here to compete with me for you?"
