Chapter 115 Provocation from the envoy
"Outsiders don't know the situation in the palace, they just think that the women in the palace are boring."
"???"
Feng Lingzun's words seemed to mean something.
[Could it be, this is the reason why he doesn't want to let me out of the palace?Do you think I am more fun than other concubines? 】
"Your Majesty, are you a concubine, or..."
"Concubine Ai, I hope you will always stay by my side and let me treat you well."
[Damn, what kind of wind is the dog emperor smoking today?To actually say such a thing. 】
【Is this a confession? 】
At this moment, Shangguan smiled and looked at Feng Lingzun's serious appearance, but he didn't know how to react.
Feng Lingzun saw the crimson floating on her face, smiled with satisfaction, and then strode towards the city gate.
In no time, the envoys of the Great Wu Kingdom came to the gate of the city.
Seeing that Feng Lingzun brought his concubine out to greet him, he nodded slightly, and then bowed in the ceremony of the Great Wu Kingdom to show his friendship.
What surprised Shangguan Xiaoxiao was that the leader of the envoy was actually a very handsome man.
I saw the man with his crown hair tied up high, his flowing hair tucked obediently behind his back, and when he raised his head slightly, there was a warm smile on his face.
【It's very temperamental! 】
Shangguan smiled and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
I really did not expect that the men in this world are really more beautiful than the other.
Feng Lingzun, Liu Cheng, and this foreign envoy too.
If it is placed in the 21st century, it is also a proper high-value.
This made Shangguan Xiaoxiao more determined to leave the palace.
[When I have enough wealth, after leaving the palace, I must find a few more beautiful men to accompany me and enjoy life. 】
【This feeling is simply not too wonderful! 】
suddenly
"Ah~"
There was a tingling pain on the back of his hand, Shangguan smiled and looked down, and found that it was Feng Lingzun's masterpiece.
How dare this man pinch her?
"Today's reception of the envoy is very important, please Ai Concubine take it seriously and don't get distracted."
"Concubine."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao just wanted to refute, but when he saw Feng Lingzun's face, he thought that the envoys were waiting in front of him, so he had to swallow the swear words that were about to be blurted out.
[Forget it, for the sake of the guest's face, I won't care about you. 】
[Otherwise, the old lady will definitely pinch it back, and it will hurt me to death. 】
Feng Lingzun shook his head slightly, then personally greeted the envoys at the gate of the city, and led them into the palace. The other party paid another visit according to the etiquette of the ministers, and then presented the gifts brought by the Great Wu Kingdom before letting the officials of the Ministry of Rites go. People led and sat down at the banquet.
At this time, Shangguan Xiaoxiao realized that the leading envoy, Ming Huan Yu Wenzong, was the general of the Great Wu Kingdom.
It is said that this time, not only will he be sent as an envoy to the neighboring countries, but also to visit several neighboring countries, which is euphemistically called to promote exchanges between several countries.
In fact, in addition to Donglin Kingdom and Dawu Kingdom, there are two other countries, namely Beiyan Kingdom and Nanzhen Kingdom.
The four countries occupy four positions respectively and check and balance each other. So far, the balance has not been broken.
Only in recent years, due to the poor geographical location of the country to the east, coupled with the frequent disasters in recent years, the national strength has been slightly reduced, which has made the Great Wu Kingdom with wolf ambitions start to move.
Feng Lingzun once reminded Shangguan Xiaoxiao that the other party might be a bad person.
Let her be a little careful at the banquet.
Of course she will pay attention, but for her, the most important thing now is to complete her task, and she must not lose the 1000 points this time.
It just makes Shangguan laugh and it is strange that this Yu Wenzong speaks and behaves very elegantly, and he doesn't look like an ambitious person at all.
But he obviously looks like a weak scholar, but he also has an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Can't understand the heart.
"In order to welcome the visit of all the envoys, I have prepared this special reception for you, please enjoy it to the fullest."
"I thank your Majesty for your hospitality."
Yu Wenzong got up from his position and used the special etiquette of Dawu Kingdom to express his friendliness from Dawu Kingdom.
Feng Lingzun stretched out his hand to signal, and then some palace maids brought the dishes one after another.
According to Shangguan Xiaoxiao's will, in addition to the cold dishes already on the table, the first dish that came up was Wensi Tofu.
Wensi Tofu originated in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, and belongs to Huaiyang cuisine.The raw materials used in the production are tofu, winter bamboo shoots, chicken breast, ham, mushrooms, and lettuce. The materials need to be cut into hair-like filaments, so the basic skills of the chef are tested.
In order to make this dish smoothly, Shangguan Xiaoxiao personally supervised Chen Yuchu and trained him overnight.
Although it can't achieve the superb effect, it is more than enough to fool the people below.
Sure enough, for the envoys who have never tasted soy products, this dish is not too surprising.
Shangguan smiled and saw a flash of surprise on Yu Wenzong's face.
"I didn't expect this kind of delicious food in the world. I don't know what ingredients are used to cook it?"
After listening to Feng Lingzun, he turned his head slightly to the side and smiled at Shangguan. Shangguan smiled knowingly and explained to Yu Wenzong, "This thing can be called tofu, it is a processed product of soybean seeds of the leguminous plant. It can be cooked, suitable for all ages, and it is a good food for health preservation and longevity.”
"Oh?"
Yu Wenzong said that he had never heard of such ingredients, so he got up and cupped his hands: "I have an unkind request, I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it."
Feng Lingzun didn't know what his idea was. "The Great Wu Kingdom has always been on good terms with the East Lin Kingdom. If you have any needs, I will definitely satisfy you."
"Can I ask the minister to bring some tofu back to China?"
"???"
The Shangguan smiled and froze for a moment.
This Yu Wenzong is really straightforward. He thinks that tofu is a good thing, and the outside world has never seen it before, so he wants Feng Lingzun to share it with him?
The wishful thinking struck a chord.
It's a pity that Shangguan Xiaoxiao can only exchange silver in the farming space, and he really doesn't have the ability to make it at present.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry."
Afraid that Feng Lingzun would agree to the other party, Shangguan Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "In order to better entertain the envoys, the imperial kitchen has made this dish from the only tofu in the East Lin country for everyone to taste. new."
A dark look flashed in Yu Wenzong's eyes, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The imperial concubine is joking. If you feel that the tofu is too valuable, it is inconvenient to take action. My country of Great Wu has strong financial resources and can make an offer to buy it."
[Damn, so big, do you think I am stingy in the east?No money?look down on us? 】
【I can't stand it! 】
Shangguan smiled and sneered inwardly.
Originally, I was still thinking, how to find an opportunity to let the other side be defeated and get points.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity presented itself to the door.
