Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 348 How can they succeed with me here?

The person closest to the emperor's position is still the first-rank Prime Minister Dong. At this time, his attention is all on the front and middle position.

Eunuch Fu walked forward and gently called out "Prime Minister", but there was no response. He had no choice but to reach out and tug at the other person's sleeve.

Prime Minister Dong turned around impatiently and was about to scold someone when he saw that it was Eunuch Fu. He then looked again and saw that the Emperor had already come to the side hall and was already sitting there.

"Your Majesty asks what's going on?" Eunuch Fu asked softly.

Prime Minister Dong did not tell Eunuch Fu, but walked to the emperor's desk and told him what had happened.

It turned out that as soon as they entered the side hall and sat down, Kaiyang, at the suggestion of Hong Xiaoduo, introduced the tea and snacks sent from the imperial kitchen to the delegation.

As a result, an envoy stood up and said that he had brought some specialty fruits from his country for everyone to taste. However, the other party then said that Fengliang Country was full of talented people, and some of them could serve as interpreters at a young age. He wondered if they could recognize the fruits they brought.

All the civil and military officials present understood that this was clearly a deliberate attempt to create difficult questions.

They had seen them up close, but had not seen any of them. At first, they thought that since Xiao Kaiyang spoke foreign languages ​​so well, he might also recognize the fruits and vegetables brought by the delegation, even if he only recognized one or two of them.

But when I saw Xiao Kaiyang's reaction, it was obvious that this kid didn't know him either.

At this time, seeing the reactions of Xiao Kaiyang and the ministers, the members of the delegation were able to confirm that no one recognized these fruits and vegetables, and the smiles on their faces were full of pride.

The envoy stood up and walked forward, taking out a few of each kind of fruit from the box and placing them on a table.

After hearing this, the emperor was naturally in a bad mood, but he turned slightly and looked at the person standing next to Xiao Kaiyang, trying hard to see the expression on her face.

Huh? She's smiling?
"Okay, I got it. Prime Minister Dong, please be patient and have some tea." The emperor didn't know why, but when he saw the smile on the girl's face, he felt at ease.

When Prime Minister Dong and Eunuch Fu saw the emperor's reaction, they were a little unresponsive for a moment and thought he would be unhappy.

The two of them followed the emperor's gaze and saw the girl taking Xiao Kaiyang towards the table with fruits and vegetables.

"Little fool, smile. What's the big deal? We are not from their country and we have never been there. The two countries are tens of thousands of miles apart. Even if there are caravans traveling back and forth, the fruits are not suitable for transportation and sale due to the long journey. You won't see them on the streets. So it's normal that you don't recognize the fruits they brought." Hong Xiaoduo was still comforting Kaiyang, who was a little shocked.

"Mom, I understand the reasoning, and I don't feel embarrassed. I just think they are too rude. Grandfather said that the purpose of the delegation's visit is to have various exchanges with each other, so shouldn't they be friendly?

But they act like this, as if they feel a sense of accomplishment just by making things difficult for us!" Kaiyang whispered.

After hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo's smile deepened. She gently patted Kaiyang's shoulder and whispered, "How can they succeed when I'm here?"

"Mom, they only talked but didn't do anything. It would be inappropriate for you to do something. It would affect the peaceful coexistence between the two countries." Kaiyang immediately reminded her nervously.

The foreign delegation was beaten as soon as they arrived. Even if it doesn't lead to a war between the two countries, it's not good to cause deterioration of diplomatic relations!
"Huh? Not bad, is this all taught by your grandfather?" Hong Xiaoduo was very surprised that Kaiyang could say this. She had never said these to him.

Kaiyang nodded. It was indeed his grandfather who told him these words. He told him these words after he learned that Hong Xiaoduo was going to take him into the palace.

Hong Xiaoduo now feels more reassured about the people in the Wei Mansion. Lord Wei only told him the information about this matter immediately because he was going to bring Kaiyang to this scene. He did not think that Kaiyang was too young to know this information.

"Your grandfather is not a pedantic elder. Kaiyang, you are really lucky. From now on, you must listen carefully to everything your grandfather teaches you, okay?" Hong Xiaoduo reminded again.

Kaiyang nodded again to indicate that he remembered it.

Emperor Jiade, civil and military officials, and members of the foreign delegation who were in the side hall watched the two, one big and one small, and started chatting.

Lord Wei and his son, at this moment, looked at Kaiyang like that, and did not feel embarrassed or ashamed of his embarrassment. They just felt sorry for the child. Why should he, at such a young age, have to endure things that he shouldn't have to endure at his age!
Mu Rongjing sat quietly in his seat, holding the teacup and sipping the tea in it. He didn't pay attention to what kind of tea it was, his eyes were always on the two people, one big and one small.

Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment, and signaled the maid next to her to move the table with fruits to the middle of the side hall. Then she looked at the emperor, nodded to him, and said loudly to everyone: "Your Majesty, everyone, the envoys from the Poppy Kingdom have come from afar to bring fruits for everyone to taste. I will try to recognize these fruits that have come from across the ocean."

After saying that, he reached out and picked up a fruit, held it up to show both sides and said loudly: "This fruit, the skin looks like snake skin, its name is snake skin fruit, also known as Salak, it has a unique appearance, the flesh inside is refreshing and juicy, and rich in nutrition. In addition to being eaten raw, it can also be slightly pickled with salt and a little honey. This can be presented to Your Majesty for tasting."

After hearing this, Eunuch Fu immediately stepped forward with a smile, took it, turned around and ordered someone to process it.

Hong Xiaoduo did not immediately identify the next fruit. Instead, she looked at the people in the delegation and repeated what she had just said to them in English.

Although she had just heard the translator of the Gentile delegation translate her words to them, she still wanted to say it to them in person.

Don't you want to make things difficult for Xiao Kaiyang? Okay, then she will repeat the response to the other party to deepen their impression. There are people in Fengliang Country who know these fruits. Not only do they know them, but they also know how to eat them!
The emperor and civil and military officials of Fengliang Kingdom saw the other party's interpreter translate the name of the fruit to the members of the delegation after Hong Xiaoduo said it. Everyone in the delegation looked incredulous, which was enough to prove that she was right and she really knew it. But, this was too amazing!

Kaiyang, who was standing next to Hong Xiaoduo, looked at her with even more admiration.

After Hong Xiaoduo introduced the snake fruit in English, she picked up another one, held it up and showed it around, then said, "This is called the thorn melon, also known as the fire ginseng fruit, the fire fruit, the fire meat melon, etc. This thing has many nicknames, and I'm not sure what it's called in their country.

This thing is a fruit native to desert areas. After cutting it open, you can see that the inner flesh is gelatinous, yellow or orange in color, with a smooth texture and a slightly sweet taste.

It can be eaten directly, crushed and squeezed into juice, or cooked as a dish, stir-fried or boiled in soup. However, before eating, the hard thorns on the skin need to be removed, and then the flesh needs to be cut into blocks or slices.

You all have eaten cucumbers and cucumbers, right? The internal structure of this one looks very similar to them when cut open.

Eunuch Fu, this tastes pretty good and can be presented to His Majesty for a taste.

However, our Fengliang Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, and there are many kinds of fruits grown in various places, and they taste good. The taste of these fruits is just average, and your Majesty may not like them, but after all, they were brought by the envoys from afar, and we cannot let them down. We must taste them!"

After Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking, Eunuch Fu happily stepped forward to take it. It doesn’t matter whether Your Majesty likes it or not. This girl is so interesting!

Hong Xiaoduo's hands were empty, and she repeated it again in English to the envoys, but she slightly modified the part she said to Eunuch Fu at the end, changing the word "other people" to "your envoys".

The members of the delegation looked even more uncomfortable and wanted to remind him, "Sir, we know you speak Chinese well, but we have our own interpreter, so you don't need to repeat yourself."

But no one stood up and said it.

Just like that, Hong Xiaoduo introduced and explained the several kinds of fruits brought by the delegation. The emperor also tasted the foreign fruits that had been tested by the entourage one by one. He shook his head while eating. The girl was right. The taste was indeed not as good as those made in the country.

The members of the foreign delegation seemed relatively calm at this time, but they were obviously much more depressed, and their arrogant spirit was gone.

This female translator is not very old, so how come she knows so much information? There are some nicknames of fruits that they themselves have never heard of, but it doesn't look like she made them up to show off.

She could speak their national language so fluently, which made them feel as if she was a citizen of Poppy Country!
No, I have to go back and check carefully to see if this female interpreter was born and raised in our country.
After all this trouble, it was time for lunch. The dishes were served from the imperial kitchen. Hong Xiaoduo stood at the door of the side hall, listened to the eunuch announce the names of the dishes, and then translated them for the envoys.

The king and his ministers of Fengliang State were in such a good mood during this lunch. No matter how depressed the members of the delegation were, they could not get up and leave. They could only eat with gritted teeth. The dishes looked delicious, but they were in no mood to enjoy them.

There were several people in the delegation who had been here several times before, and they were wondering why this time was so different from the past. They didn't have the upper hand on the first day!

They were unwilling to accept the defeat, especially since the one who made them suffer this time was a child, a young girl.

The envoy held the wine cup and looked at Hong Xiaoduo again and again, thinking to himself that he didn't know whether the business matters of this mission to Fengliang Kingdom could be as smooth as before.

On second thought, no matter how good the translations of these two translators, one big and one small, are, she and the child probably don’t understand business matters!
As a result, the envoy's mood improved a little.

"Madam Hong, the emperor wants to talk to you." All the dishes were served. Hong Xiaoduo told the delegation in English that the dishes were served and they were asked to enjoy their meals slowly and not to be polite. Then she walked towards the emperor, wondering why the emperor wanted to call her over.

Lord Wei, Mu Rongjing, and many officials followed her movements...
