Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 471 Building a bridge with cement (3)
"This official is just reminding Shangguan Shizi that you are an authentic Dazhou native. Don't go to Beirong for half a year and forget your ancestors. Although the coal you sent is good for burning, it is too expensive. I'm sorry." The Imperial Envoy of Zuodu glanced at the emperor, then gritted his teeth and said with a pale face.

Shangguan Yeli couldn't help but glance at Chiyan, coal is much cheaper than charcoal, what price does this guy offer the emperor?
Seeing Shangguan Yeli's gaze, Chi Yan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep, with a hint of spoof, Shangguan Yeli frowned, and said to Zuo Duyu: "Now the trade between the two sides has been completed. Have you signed the agreement?"

The Imperial Envoy of Zuo Du glared at him and said, "Ambassador Shangguan, you just arrived in the capital today, how could you sign the contract so quickly?"

Shangguan Yeli sat back on the chair and said, "Then what are you anxious about, my lord envoy? Although some people are expensive princes, they always act childishly. There are still many things that can be discussed."

All the Dazhou officials sitting there heard that Shangguan Yeli’s words were still protecting the interests of Dazhou, and they felt much more relieved. After all, coal is a good thing, and there is no reason not to like a good thing, but if it is too expensive, there will naturally be conflict.

Chiyan ate the food with her head down, as if she didn't hear Shangguan Yeli's words, she only occasionally winked mischievously at Wanqing, Wanqing felt warm in her heart, she knew that Chiyan was helping her husband and wife, he set the price on purpose It was very high, causing Da Zhou officials to conflict, and then Shangguan Yeli came back to coordinate, so Da Zhou had to read Shangguan Yeli's favor, thus reconciling the bad influence caused by Shangguan Yeli's leaving without authorization.

The emperor saw that the controversy here seemed to be a little smaller, and finally said, "It is rare for the two countries to meet each other. At the banquet, all the lovers might as well drink and eat food. We can discuss it after the banquet."

After the emperor spoke, the big officials of the Great Zhou naturally stopped attacking Shangguan Yeli and his wife, but there was still some hostility. After half a decade of drinking, the emperor said again: "What do you guys think of today's wine?"

The officials naturally felt that today's wine was excellent, and it was clearer and more mellow than the wine they usually drink. Everyone appreciated it, the emperor listened to the flattery and flattery, his expression didn't move, he just asked the half-drunk red face with misty eyes: "Fifth prince, how does this wine compare with the green wine of Dayong Kingdom?"

Chi Yan half-closed her eyes, looked at the emperor vaguely, and replied simply and honestly: "It's much better, does His Majesty the Emperor want to send some altars to the foreign ministers?"

The officials of Da Zhou felt happy and proud when they heard it, and thought to themselves that you are just better off with coal, you know that Da Zhou is rich in products, and naturally there are many more good things compared to your barbarian land.

"It's good to give a few jars, but you have to drink them up, why don't you exchange the wine for coal?"

That is to say, to sell the wine to Beirong, the imperial wine has never been produced much, and it is not provided to the outside world. If there is a lot of production, anyone can enjoy it. How can it appear that the imperial wine is unique and honorable?

Therefore, not only the red face, but also most officials were a little surprised.

The emperor smiled and said: "This fine grape wine is brewed by Shangguan Aiqing. Now there is a large amount of it, and I can't finish it. Of course, good things should be shared by everyone. Now that Da Zhou and Da Rong have a good relationship, it is natural that we should drink it." Let the people of Da Zhou also enjoy such fine wine."

There was an uproar in the main hall, and the officials of the Great Zhou became excited. They really didn't know much about cement, but they had actually drank this wine. Anyone can taste good things, and the people of Dayong are also good at wine. In the future, this wine will not only be sold to Dayong, but also to Dongyi. Those Dongyi rich people are most willing to buy good quality wine with silver. It seems that Shangguan Yeli and his wife are not really treasonous. The Rong people discovered coal, but didn't they also brew good wine for the Great Zhou?
Only Chi Yan looked at Wan Qing with an unfriendly expression, her red lips were pouting high, like a child with a toy bumping into a shirt, she thought that her own was unique, but when she saw that everyone had a share, she immediately felt no superiority, and felt depressed.

Wanqing looked at him and laughed, the two were close together, Wanqing secretly handed him something from under the table, Chiyan lowered her head, looked into the circle of tubes, and saw the ever-changing The beautiful flower scene immediately raised her lips, and put the things in her arms like a hidden treasure. Who said that good things should be enjoyed by everyone, only uniqueness can show specialness.

Because of the wine as a condiment, the hostility between the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty towards Shangguan Yeli and his wife almost completely disappeared. Coupled with the still unknown benefits of cement, the meal was finally enjoyable, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, the emperor left Shangguan Yeli and his wife behind, and Shangguan Yeli reported to the emperor what he had to do in Dayong for the past six months and the battle of wits and courage, while Wanqing went to the harem.

Concubine Xian is now Concubine Xiangui, but I don't know why the emperor still didn't make her queen, Concubine Xian is still as gentle and gentle as ever, seeing Wanqing come back safely, with a kind smile on her face, she personally took her hand into the temple.

Wanqing naturally sent the gift brought by Beirong, Xianfei was happy, and also rewarded the gift, the two gossiped after saying goodbye, but always avoided the matter of Ouyang Luoyi, Wanqing felt at ease , since Concubine Xian didn't mention it, she was going to expose the matter, so why did she insist on breaking the bubble?
It was just unexpected that Concubine Xian actually talked about Gu Wanli: "A while ago, I went to the Taimiao to pray for blessings, and met the fourth lady of the Gu family. I really liked her cleverness and lovability, so I played the role of the empress dowager and brought her into the palace. , and is now by Bengong’s side.”

Wanqing was stunned to hear that, Wanli is the side concubine of King Shou, and the emperor probably hates King Shou and Uncle Shou the most now, how could someone as intelligent and transparent as Concubine Xian suffer such misfortune?

While talking, Wanli came in a court lady's attire. Judging by the grade, she was not too low. After seeing Wanqing, her face was slightly excited, her eyes were full of warmth, and there was a touch of warmth in her eyes. After the violence, she has almost changed into a different person. It seems that the one-year hard work in the Taimiao Temple has transformed her. Naturally, Wanqing welcomes this change, but she also knows the uncertainty in Wanli's temper. Sex, I don’t know when she will show her true colors again, and stab herself with a knife. After all, the past memories are not good enough. Facing the warmth in Wanli’s eyes, Wanqing behaved very decently. Although her eyes were not wet, her face The joyful look on the table is not fake.
