After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 717: Shengguo's Facade

According to Wang Jin's efficiency, he should have collected all the evidence of Prince Feng's crimes by now and be on his way back to Beijing.

It is clear at a glance what is of primary importance when the envoys come to the capital at this time.

Naturally, the diplomatic relations between the two countries must take precedence over the case of Prince Feng. During this period, no accidents must occur in Kyoto, and the case of Prince Feng can only be raised after the envoys leave.

If this delay occurs, many unexpected events will occur.

Now because of the matter of the Northern Barbarian envoys, there is no one in the court who can take charge. Sikong Jian, the national teacher, has been called out to take charge of the situation. Will it be long before the crown prince is released from prison?

Although she was not Wang Jin, Qin Yao couldn't help but gasp for him.

It’s difficult, it’s really difficult for him.

The sound of carriage wheels rolling was heard, coming from far away and finally stopping in front of Qin Yao's house.

Yin Le looked up and smiled, then turned back to Qin Yao who was lost in thought and said, "Master, it's our master who's back."

"Yeah." Qin Yao was used to it as long as she came back.

"Master, master, it seems that my master has brought back a lot of things and waved for me to come over." Yin Le asked.

Qin Yao then looked up at the door.

"Ale, come here quickly!" Liu Ji shouted with a smile.

Seeing Qin Yao looking at him, he grinned at her with his teeth bared, his brows beaming with joy, as if something particularly joyful had happened.

Yin Le did not wait for his master's consent, but assumed that she had agreed. He quickly ran to the door and helped take a large wooden box handed to him by the coachman.

It's not heavy to hold, and I don't know what's inside.

Someone helped to get the things. Liu Ji could not stay outside the door for even half a second, and shouted, "My wife! What a great event, my wife!"

Like a butterfly, he opened his arms and flew towards Qin Yao excitedly.

Qin Yao straightened her body, raised her hand, and tapped her fingertips on the chest of Liu Ji who was about to pounce on her, successfully stopping him.

"If you have something to say, just sit down and talk." She raised her chin towards the chair next to her.

Liu Ji paused for a second and wanted to try again, otherwise he would not be able to express his excitement today.

Unfortunately, Qin Yao only needed one finger to deal with him.

Even though his face turned red and he wanted to rush forward, the slender fingers held him firmly in front of her at an arm's length so that he could not move.

That’s all.

Liu Ji put down his hands, his peach blossom eyes turned mischievous, and he suddenly lowered his head and pecked the finger on his heart like a chicken pecking at rice. Before she could kick him, he quickly slipped into a chair and sat down. The smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed and kept curling up.

Qin Yao's kick missed the target, and she stared at her pecked fingertips with a frown, unable to hide her desire to kill anyone any longer.

"Liu Ji, go find me." Before she could even utter the word "die", Liu Ji, who was sitting on the chair next to her, had already kneeled down at her feet, tightly grasped her hands, and raised his head to say to her excitedly:
"The Imperial Master sent me to pick up the delegation!"

Seeing Qin Yao paused, Liu Ji repeated, fearing that she didn't hear clearly, "Madam, the Imperial Master sent me to receive the envoys. Receiving envoys, not everyone is qualified to do that!" Yin Le, who was moving things in, was shocked when he heard this, "The Imperial Master sent you, Master, to receive the envoys?"

Liu Ji glanced at her and said, "What's that expression on your face? Am I not worthy of your master? I am also a disciple of a great scholar, a successful candidate, and I am so handsome. I am much better than others in every way!"

"In this diplomatic relationship between our two countries, your master represents the reputation of our Sheng Kingdom." Liu Ji raised his face proudly. From now on, he will be the face of Sheng Kingdom!

Yin Le has always admired his master's confidence, and after hearing what he said, it seemed that it was not impossible.

Liu Ji turned to Qin Yao and continued, "I know you must be confused, my lady. I didn't believe it when I first received this mission. I thought that Si Kongjian would definitely harm me. But then I thought, it's just to meet an envoy, what could go wrong?"

"Besides, there are many people like me in the welcoming team. This time, the national teacher specially found 20 talented people from Sheng country to go to Beilouguan to welcome the Northern Barbarians delegation. He said that he wanted to let the Northern Barbarians delegation see the strength of our Sheng country's literary world."

Without Qin Yao's shouting, Liu Ji stood up excitedly. He couldn't sit still at all.

He paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, laughing as he walked: "Sikong Jian, this kid must have been impressed by my abilities. Although we did have some rifts before and didn't like each other, we are from the same school anyway, so we are still brothers."

"Maybe they thought it was better to promote someone close to them than an outsider, and I also have some talent, so they chose me."

See, doesn’t this all make sense?

How could a senior brother harm a junior brother? There is absolutely no possibility!
Qin Yao and Yin Le looked at each other, and they were speechless.

Although it is unclear what purpose Si Kong Jian has hidden in this trip, since the job has been accepted, he has to go even if he doesn't want to.

Seeing Liu Ji's excitement, he might not be able to calm down for a while. Qin Yao turned to the wooden box that Yin Le brought in, stood up, walked to the table, and opened it.

Inside was a set of gorgeous purple clothes that were complete from head to toe.

Without Qin Yao asking, Liu Ji explained to her, "This is the uniform of our Sheng country's envoys, specially made for us, the representatives of Sheng country's literary world."

He picked up the purple dress with the Sheng Kingdom's envoy logo and a blooming golden lotus on the cuff and tried it on himself, looking at Qin Yao expectantly: "Is he handsome?"

A cry of "Wow!" came from the yard.

The couple in the hall turned around and saw that it was Dalang and his two siblings who had returned from school. As soon as they entered the room, they saw their father holding up a purple dress and trying it on. Sanlang and Siniang exclaimed in amazement.

"Father, this dress is so beautiful!" Si Niang ran forward and looked around Father curiously. "There are also purple boots, a jade belt and a jade crown in this box. Are they all Father's?"

Liu Ji replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, your father will go out of the city with the State Master tomorrow to welcome the Northern Barbarians' envoys."

After saying this, he ignored the four siblings' screams of surprise and stared at Qin Yao, stubbornly demanding an answer.

The lady hasn't answered the question he just asked.

Qin Yao took a look at the jade crown and jade belt that the four siblings took out of the wooden box, and waved to Liu Ji, "You can only know whether it looks good after you put it on. Go and try the whole set."

Liu Ji was waiting for her words, and immediately called four laborers to help take the envoy's uniform to his room and change into the full set of Sheng Kingdom's envoy uniform as quickly as possible.

"Cough cough!" Liu Ji coughed twice heavily inside the door, reminding everyone that he was about to get ready to come out.

Qin Yao smiled: "Come out."

"Then I'll come out." Liu Ji looked back at the mirror and made sure that his hair crown and other things were worn correctly before he opened the door.
