The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1142 Palace Banquet (Part 2)

The children lowered their heads when they were told, Xiao Xia took a deep breath, and said with a straight face: “What are you still doing in a daze? The palace banquet is halfway through, why don’t you go back and sit down?”

Hutou boldly said: “Then we will sit with Big Brother and the others.”

Little Bear was impatient to sit next to his parents, and when the banquet started, he did not follow the rules and sat next to Xiao Bao. There were three seats filled with children. It was fun at first glance, but the key was that there was very little restraint.

As soon as Hutou said this, the children all looked at them eagerly.

Mu Yangling looked down at them from above, and said with a smile, “Do you think I will agree?”

The children suddenly became sleepy like frost-beaten eggplants.

Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia took the children back. The banquet was in full swing. The envoys from various countries had just presented the gift lists on behalf of their countries. The envoys from England took the opportunity to propose the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and expressed welcome to all countries to come and communicate with Daqi. Daqi is a hospitable country and welcomes friends from afar.

The envoys from the western countries looked at each other, and brought up the duty-free customs again. Of course, the envoys from England also hoped that Daqi would allocate a place for their ships to rest.

Qi Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes. If Haoran didn’t remind him, he would still be willing to allocate one or two villages in order to show Qi’s prestige.

But Daqi only mentioned a little reciprocity, and let them pass the customs duty-free for Daqi’s ships, and also allocated a small area for Daqi’s fleet to rest, but the other party shirked it in every possible way.

Qi Xiuyuan is not a fool. Although he hasn’t figured out what’s tricky up to now, he also knows that it’s not good. Otherwise, why would the other party make excuses?

Qi Xiuyuan picked up the wine glass to drink, and he didn’t need to ask the minister to deal with it.

Sure enough, the Minister of the Household Department immediately expressed his welcome to merchants from England to Daqi for business, and Daqi was also willing to provide convenience for merchant ships from all over the world.

Turning the topic around, Minister of the Household Department also said that Daqi now has a lot of merchant ships going to sea for business, and it is also difficult to berth for supplies. I hope England can also help Daqi. Of course, we can discuss the follow-up matters afterwards.

The envoys from England were silent, and the envoys from other Western countries were also slightly silent. It seems that Da Qi still refused to let go of his promise. They have changed envoys twice for this matter, and the cost of each mission is quite a lot. The ship has cargo, and such consumption can’t afford it.

Mu Yangling pursed her lips and smiled, as long as she was there, they would never take advantage of it.

Antonio put down his wine glass, and whispered to Andre: “The officials of Daqi seem to be not very friendly to us.”

Andre also discovered that the officials of Daqi paid more attention to the envoys of several other eastern countries.

Especially in the country called Xixia, although the officials of Daqi and the envoys of the other party often sneered and spoke in an unfriendly tone, the fact that the other party was able to sit at the top of the envoy group showed that they valued each other.

Andre thought for a while and said: “These countries are relatively close to Daqi, and some even border on them, so it is understandable that they are valued.”

It is their country, if they choose among the surrounding countries and Daqi, they will also choose the surrounding countries, and Daqi is too far away to threaten their land.

After thinking about it, Andre understood Da Qi’s concerns. He rolled his eyes and said, “There is a saying in the Han people that ‘the sky is high and the emperor is far away’. Da Qi’s territory is too vast. If we can find someone who is willing to accept us Officials with gifts, then our goal will be achieved.”

“It’s better to be justified…” Antonio said almost inaudibly.

Andre looked in Qi Haoran’s direction, and said, “If we can convince that prince or his concubine…”

Antonio heard Andre mention this couple more than once, and followed his gaze, “Is that them?”

“Yes,” Andre said with a smile, “very interesting couple.”

It was very interesting that Qi Haoran and his wife were exchanging seats. Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin sat drinking together, while Mu Yangling and Xiao Xia sat together to watch the ladies in the arena.

Xiaobao is about the same age, so the marriage will be settled in one or two years, and the marriage will be ready in one or two years. By then, Xiaobao will be eighteen years old, which is in line with the rules set by the emperor.

So this time, everyone who has daughters or granddaughters of the right age has been brought into the palace. Maybe they will be selected by the emperor and queen?

That’s why there are many pretty and lovely girls in the palace banquet tonight.

Mu Yangling watched with great interest. The Xiaoxia family had a lot of contacts and told her in a low voice about the talents and character of those little girls. Of course, except for a few people who knew her own opinion, everything else was the reputation of those little girls.

The two were talking, but they didn’t know that their son was also the target of other ministers.

The crown prince has only one position as the main concubine, and the side concubines are all selected from the families of officials below the third rank. Moreover, the crown prince’s father-in-law is not so easy to be. Compared with Xiao Xiong and Xiao An, they are much more popular.

Xiao Xiong is the heir of Prince Rong’s mansion, and Xiao An is the heir of Prince An’s mansion. Both mansions have hereditary titles, which is more secure than being a prince and concubine.

Because the prince left the palace to open the mansion as a prince, but the second generation is the county king, and the third generation is the duke of the state. After the third generation, who knows that he was once a royal relative?

As for Prince Rong’s Mansion and Prince An’s Mansion, unless the grandparents had a brain attack and rebelled, the titles would always be Prince and County King, and their prosperity would last forever.

Therefore, in Jiaotai Palace, besides the girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old, there are also many girls over nine years old and under thirteen years old.

Mu Yangling didn’t know the inside story, so he whispered to Xiao Xia: “These ministers are too mad. They brought a nine-year-old baby here, and they will only be thirteen in four years. They are not as good as Ji.”

“Maybe they went after some princes.”

“Wen Su? Nine years old and nine years old are about the same age. What about those eleven or twelve-year-old girls?”

“Female junior, holding a golden brick?” Xiao Xia guessed hesitantly.

Fan Zijin on the side couldn’t help but rolled his eyes in his heart, turned his head and lowered his voice and said, “They’re looking at our son, do you think they’re all heading for the royal family?”

Fan Zijin glanced at the little girls and said, “If you have time, take a look. If there is something good, let me know, and I will let Xiaoan pay attention in advance.”

Xiao Xia was shocked, and stammered: “Well, I, I have to pay attention to my daughter-in-law?”

Fan Zijin said angrily, “You think you’re still a 28-year-old girl? Your son is already ten years old, and in two or three years, we’re going to formally marry him. Why don’t you start paying attention now?”

Mu Yangling also opened his mouth wide in shock.

Fan Zijin glanced at her, and finally decided to talk to Haoran about Xiaoxiong’s marriage, “Little Xiong is thirteen, and it’s time to formally say goodbye. It will take two or three years to decide, and after another two years, he will be eighteen. ?”

Fan Zijin curled his lips when he said this, “Don’t always spoil Ah Ling, let her go to various houses, don’t stay in the palace all the time, don’t she have to personally inspect the woman’s character?”

Qi Haoran also opened his mouth in shock, “I’m going to be a father-in-law? Isn’t it going to be a grandfather soon?”

When Fan Zijin saw Rong Xuan and Yan Du who were sitting next to him look over, he wished he could kick Qi Haoran into the middle, can’t you keep your voice down?

We’re whispering, do you understand? Do you know what a whisper is?
