After touching his belly comfortably, Mr. Liu, who was left to eat by Tang Ping, looked satisfied.
I don’t know how Mr. Tang prepares this table of food. To be honest, even His Majesty’s grand banquet at the end of every year and the ministers’ food are not as good as this.
Tang Ping always brought a cook with him when he was on his mission to Dongyue, and he was very good at enjoying it.
This time when he went back, he must ask someone about Tang Ping's true identity. In his opinion, Tang Ping, who was full of mystery, must be the queen of some important figure in the Tang Dynasty.
And with this level of food, you can’t even eat? Then few people in Dongyue Kingdom, a land of plenty, can be said to have food to eat.
"Master Tang, when you are ready, come with me into the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."
"Okay!" Tang Ping nodded: "Then Uncle Pei and Yuan Zhi should be with me."
The three of them had nothing to prepare. Xiao Luo arranged Tang Ping's official uniform and then followed Mr. Liu into the palace.
"Join Your Majesty!"
Tang Ping had no idea that he could not stare at the emperor. This was the first emperor he had seen since coming to the Tang Dynasty.
He doesn't know Li Er's true identity now, so he is still very curious about the emperor.
Anyway, now that I am an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, I just need to act neither humble nor arrogant. What's wrong with looking at him? Is it possible that Wang Xuanying can still convict himself just because he looked at him?
But after looking at it, I found that Wang Xuanying was just so-so. To be honest, he was not as handsome as Gou Shaoqun, but he did have a certain magnanimity.
Tang Ping was looking at Wang Xuanying, and Wang Xuanying was also looking at him. In just two days, he received a lot of news about Tang Ping in Fuyang.
To be honest, let alone Lord Liu of Honglu Temple, even he couldn't understand Tang Ping.
Just as Tang Ping looked at Wang Xuanying and could feel the difference in temperament between Wang Xuanying as an emperor and ordinary people, Wang Xuanying looked at Tang Ping and could also feel the difference in temperament between him and other people.
And what is this difference?
Wang Xuanying likes to look into a person's eyes most. When other people see him, some will have fear in their eyes, some will have awe in their eyes, and some will have ambition in their eyes.
And Tang Ping is the first person who can't see any emotion in his eyes. If he had to say there was any emotion, it would be... curiosity?
"I've been ill for the past few days, please forgive me!" Wang Xuanying leaned on the chair, a little lazy, as if he really had no energy.
"I wonder why Ambassador Tang is so anxious to see me?"
"I came here to ask why Dongyue agreed to trade with Datang, but why the food item was not delivered for a long time?"
"Liu Aiqing, why hasn't the food sent to the Tang Dynasty been delivered yet?" Wang Xuanying asked Mr. Liu who accompanied Tang Ping.
"Your Majesty, it's because of the recent frequent typhoons in the east that a large number of civilians have been recruited to the coastal areas, so..."
This was obviously the two men starting to sing a double act.
Yao Yuanshang took a step forward and asked, "Has Master Liu ever studied?"
Mr. Liu didn't know why he asked, but he still replied: "Of course I studied. I am a Jinshi in the fourth year of Yunde."
"Then Mr. Liu, does he know that those who do not believe in their words will not be able to achieve results?"
"Do you know that a gentleman always lives up to his promise?"
"Do you know that only the most sincere people in the world can transform it?"
Tang Ping pulled Yao Yuanzhi's sleeve. He didn't expect Yao Yuanzhi to be so tough and directly questioned him on his territory. You know, although he was asking Mr. Liu now, he was not slapping Wang Xuanying in the face.
Sure enough, those words made Wang Xuanying and Mr. Liu look bad.
"Haha, it's not that, it's not that. We understand that the East Vietnam country is in difficulty, but our Lord Yao is also right. Look, the items that our Datang promised to trade were delivered very quickly, right?"
Tang Ping smiled and came out to smooth things over. Just like Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanying sang the double act, Yao Yuanzhi came out to sing the white face, and he could only come out to play the red face.
This request hasn’t been made yet, so there’s no need to make things too rigid.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your understanding. We will also deliver the food in the transaction to Datang as soon as possible!" Mr. Liu replied, but it is hard to say whether this thing will count or not.
"But I received news today that both the northern and southern armies of the Tang Dynasty are moving to the east. I wonder if Mr. Tang knows what is going on?" Wang Xuanying, who had been silent for the whole time, looked at Tang Ping. , asked somewhat coldly.
"Ah, haha, has your Majesty got the news? Aren't we, Your Majesty, afraid that your country will be short of manpower due to the typhoon? So we thought about how we could send some people to transport the food back! Hey, we can't help but be in a hurry, right? You Look at Mr. Yao next to me. He has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home. The whole family is waiting for food, so he was so excited just now and asked Your Majesty to atone for his sins."
After Tang Ping finished speaking, the room became quiet for a moment. Neither Mr. Liu nor Yao Yuanzhi spoke, and Wang Xuanying just looked at Tang Ping.
After a long while, Wang Xuanying laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you are really interesting, you are the first one to tell lies with your eyes open like this in front of me. Can you tell me where Li Shimin came from? Did they find you?"
"It makes Your Majesty laugh. I haven't seen my Majesty yet!"
"Oh?" Wang Xuanying raised his eyebrows: "He has made you the Wannian County Prince, and asked you to go to Dongyue on behalf of the Tang State, but he has never seen you? And he asked you to come with the threat of the Tang Dynasty, Aren’t you afraid of being treated as an outcast?”
"Threat? What threat?" Tang Ping pretended not to understand, and then took out the ship model that he brought to the seafood market auction house today: "I brought the gift we gave to His Majesty!"
"Isn't this what Mr. Tang brought to the auction house in exchange for money today?"
"How is that possible!" Tang Ping exclaimed: "How dare you send a gift to His Majesty to the auction house? That is another one. Mr. Liu, do you think so?"
Mr. Liu of Honglu Temple in Dongyue watched Tang Ping lie with a blushing face and his heart was not beating. He finally understood why the Tang Dynasty sent this Wannian County magistrate whom he had never heard of before as an envoy to Dongyue.
His box was obviously the one he got from the auction house today, but at this time he could only say:
"I just took a look at it, and I really didn't know if it was this."
"No, it really isn't!" Tang Ping thrust the box into Master Liu's hand and asked him to forward it to Wang Xuanying.
Wang Xuanying played with it for a while. This ship model was indeed extremely exquisite. He didn't know how skilled the craftsmen were in making it.
He suddenly thought of the Tang plow and keel waterwheel that appeared in the Tang Dynasty this year, and asked curiously: "Is this thing, the Tang plow and the keel waterwheel all made by the same person?"
