The envoys were so smart that they immediately bowed their hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. To be sure, you can give the beauty a sterilizing soup."

Xiao Jingzhao's chest was full of blood and he almost vomited blood.

Jiang Shuyue didn't mind the big deal, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of gloating.

"No, I say no, it's no!" Xiao Jingzhao's tone was firm.

The envoys were hit hard, and they couldn't help but feel regretful when they saw the most cost-effective business slipping away from their hands.

The ministers on the side breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor had not announced the date of the selection because of the important matters in the court.

The ministers who had daughters of marriageable age in their families were already anxious, waiting to send these envoys away and then submit memorials to urge the emperor to select the selection.

The emperor clearly refused, so Jiang Shuyue naturally couldn't insist.

Every emperor wants both the beauty and the country.

Xiao Jingzhao's performance made Jiang Shuyue look at him with new eyes.

She thought to herself, he is still confused.

Finally, Xiao Jingzhao asked the minister of the Honglu Temple to write an IOU and asked the other party to sign and stamp his handprint.

The regulations also stated that wood materials could be used to offset the debt.

As if they were afraid that Jiang Shuyue would go back on her word, the people of several small countries told Xiao Jingzhao that they would leave Beijing and return immediately after taking the seeds.

Xiao Jingzhao was naturally happy to see this happen, and asked someone to bring his handwritten letter to the emperor of another country and let the envoys take it back.

Jiang Shuyue still had to negotiate with the Sang people.

She waved to Qiuju, who was standing behind her and hurried forward to bow her head.

Jiang Shuyue whispered in her ear, and Qiuju nodded frequently and took the order to go out and distribute seeds to the envoys for her master.

After Qiuju left, Jiang Shuyue looked calmly at the Sang people who had different thoughts.

There was no competitor in the hall, and the Sang people all looked up.

But the woman opposite was beautiful and charming. As rumored, she was a rare beauty.

Especially her eyes like a spring were full of confidence and wisdom, which made people admire her involuntarily.

Her gestures were like those of a superior. The leader turned his head slightly and said to his companions: "Don't change your original intention. Let's try. I think her courage is not inferior to that of the queen."

The rest of the people were nervous. The woman opposite was too outstanding. It was a great honor for Sang State to have her.

Seeing Jiang Shuyue looking over, the leading envoy stood up slowly.

He bowed deeply to Xiao Jingzhao, who was at the top, and said, "Your Majesty, Sang State has another request besides buying seeds."

Xiao Jing nodded slightly and raised his hand to make a gesture of asking for permission.

The envoy of Sang State turned his head and glanced at Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue's heart was alarmed. That look was like looking at an item for sale.

The envoy withdrew his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is beautiful and intelligent, with both talent and beauty. The emperor of our Sang country appreciates such a wonderful woman the most."

When Xiao Jingzhao heard this, his sword eyebrows slightly frowned, and a chill rose in his eyes.

When the ministers of Wanling heard the first half of the words of the Sang country envoy, they were proud and nodded frequently with smiles on their faces.

When they heard the last sentence, their faces suddenly darkened.

Who is not a shrewd person in the court?

The envoy of Sang country implied that he wanted to snatch the talents of Wanling.

The Minister of Honglu Temple, who was responsible for receiving foreign envoys, interrupted and said, "The envoy has something to talk about. Miss Jiang is a rare talent in our Wanling. Not to mention that our emperor admires her very much, even the ministers present admire her."

Jiang Shuyue said nothing, just quietly watching what the Sang people would do after praising her.

The envoy of Sang country did not dare to look directly at the emperor, so naturally he did not see Xiao Jingzhao's cold expression.

With a determined heart, he said with courage: "Miss Jiang is kind-hearted. Our Sang Kingdom hopes to marry Miss Jiang as a concubine. I hope Your Majesty will do it."

Xiao Jingzhao slapped the armrest of the chair and shouted angrily: "You are such a bold envoy! How dare you speak so wildly? Come on! Expel this rude lunatic from the country for me."

Before everyone could come to their senses, the guards outside the palace heard the scolding and ran in quickly, twisting the envoy's arms left and right and trying to drag him out.

The envoy struggled hard, "Wait, we will pay the silver for the seeds, and give Wanling ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand pieces of silk."

The envoy spoke without thinking when he was anxious. They brought only a hundred pieces of silk, let alone ten thousand taels of gold.

"Get out!"

Xiao Jingzhao was so angry that he picked up the teacup in front of him and threw it over.

The teacup hit the envoy's instep firmly. If the guards hadn't dragged him back, the teacup would have hit the envoy's forehead.

The other Sang envoys were so scared when they saw their companions had made such a big mess that they knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty! He was confused and talked nonsense, offending Miss Jiang and angering Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will calm down."

The ministers looked at the Sang people as if they were thieves, and sparks were almost flashing in their eyes.

Jiang Shuyue showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, and snorted coldly: "You Sang people are very calculating, wanting to get something for nothing, and also wanting to plot against this girl! You are not worthy, shameless villains!"

Honglu said angrily: "You can all ask for marriage for your old emperor, may I ask who among you is the father of the emperor of Sang? ? ? "

Qiu Ju happened to hear the nonsense of the Sang people when she came back, and she was so angry that she trembled all over, and she wanted to tear the envoy's mouth apart.

Qiu Ju saw that her young lady's eyes were as cold as ice, which was the expression she had when she was extremely angry.

"Miss, let's go back and don't listen to the nonsense of that bastard."

When Qiu Ju reached out to pull Jiang Shuyue's hand, she found that her hand in her sleeve was clenched into a fist and her body was trembling slightly.

The envoy in the hall was howling like a ghost and was soon dragged out of the hall by the guards.

The other envoys did not expect the consequences to be so serious. Emperor Wanling was so angry for a merchant woman. They all knelt on the ground and trembled and begged for mercy.

Xiao Jingzhao's eyes widened, pointing at the kneeling envoys of Sang State below and said:

"I will spare your lives for the sake of the fact that these words were not said by your emperor of Sang State. If the border between the two countries is opened for mutual trade, just pretend that I never said it."

"From now on, the envoys of Sang State will leave the capital as soon as possible, and the seed issue is out of the question!"

Jiang Shuyue and Xiao Jingzhao looked at each other, and Xiao Jingzhao's words touched her heart.

She loves to make money, but not all kinds of money. She finds it disgusting to make money from the people of Sang State.

Envoys never need to kneel down to meet the emperor of another country. Looking at the Sang country envoys kneeling below, Xiao Jingzhao was not soft-hearted.

Before the Sang people could argue, he waved his hand and the guards at the door of the palace came in and cleared everyone out.

Only his own people were left in the palace. The ministers realized belatedly that the emperor was too angry today.

It was the first time in history that two countries could argue and quarrel about unreasonable things and directly kick people out.

Eunuch Ma was frightened by this scene and huddled aside. He knew where the emperor's weak spot was and dared not say a word of comfort.

Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath, gathered her emotions and bowed to Xiao Jingzhao, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me out. If there is nothing else, I will leave."
