Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood. I heard that the Empress Dowager likes pearls. It just so happens that my father obtained a pearl of excellent quality from the East China Sea. I intend to present this rare treasure to the Empress Dowager."

"I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet His Majesty here again."

Cao Cao held up a big and round pearl with both hands, respectful but neither humble nor overbearing.

Believe me

You bad old man.

Liu Bian glanced at Cao Cao angrily, how could he not see what Wang Yun was thinking.

"So many of you came to the Queen Mother just to offer a pearl?"

Liu Bian smiled but didn't smile, his eyes were fixed on the officials.

Only then did everyone realize the intention of Cao Cao's move.

If Wang Yun had spoken just now, he might have lost his one-year salary again.

Cai Yong hurriedly said, "I remember that the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon, so I wrote a congratulatory message, please read it to the Empress Dowager."

Zhou Yi, "I'm here to ask the Queen Mother for instructions on government affairs."

Liu Bian was speechless, thanks to the reason you can think of.

"The Ai family has returned to His Majesty, I'm afraid Zhou Qing's move is inappropriate." The Empress Dowager He was overjoyed when she saw that Her Majesty scared the ministers of the court into such a state.

I can't help but want to "help the evildoers" for a while.

Zhou Yi knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he reacted quickly. He caught a glimpse of Lai Yinger from the corner of his eye and immediately found a good reason.

"I can't bear to disturb your majesty's new happiness, so I didn't think about it for a while, and I ask the empress dowager and your majesty to forgive me."

You are very clever.

"I came here to..."

"That's it."

The Queen Mother interrupted them.

Knowing that these excuses are all false, there is no need to continue listening.

"Are you planning to mourn your family to death?"

"Go back, let's not make an example."

The queen mother knew that these people had no malicious intentions, so instead of punishing them, she gave them a good step down.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly exited the hall.

"Cao Mengde, didn't you offer pearls, why did you take them back?"

Seeing Cao Cao's reluctance, Liu Bian suddenly felt narrow-minded.

If it weren't for his quick response, the court would have saved a fortune.

Cao Cao's old face turned dark, and he reluctantly handed over the valuable pearl to the Queen Mother's maid.

It was a birthday gift he planned to give to his wife, and he had already made an agreement with her.

Now, how to deal with...

Seeing Cao Cao's frowning expression, Empress Dowager He gave Liu Bian a resentful look, and said angrily, "My lord, they are all the pillars of the great man. Don't play too much, and keep a good balance."

"My child understands."

Liu Bian nodded.

It should be beaten or beaten, otherwise these ministers will always frame him with loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, which is very annoying.

If the Son of Heaven has no freedom at all, what fun is there?

"Come, nobleman, I will give you this pearl."

Empress Dowager He backhandedly gave the valuable pearl to Lai Yinger.

And keep them for supper before letting them go.

A few days later, Xianbei envoys arrived in the capital.

The mighty team quickly attracted the crowds of the capital.

"This is the capital of the big man!"

Except for the two team leaders, no one else has been to Luoyang.

Seeing such a bustling and bustling city, they were all envious.

"Compared with the icy grassland, this place is like heaven." A young Xianbei soldier said with emotion.

"It's right at the door of the house, and you can buy all the daily necessities. The Han people are too rich."

"It would be nice if we lived in a place like this."

The first time I came to the bustling city, I was very shocked by the young Xianbei people.

They looked around dazedly, shocked and greedy.

"What is that steaming stuff? It smells so good."

A head protruded from the three-horse carriage.

She has a delicate and unparalleled face, wearing a white fox fur hat, which sets off her skin like frost and snow.

"What a beautiful girl!"

"Unexpectedly, there is such a celestial girl among the brutal Xianbei tribe."

When the onlookers saw the girl's appearance, they immediately exclaimed.

However, the girl's eyes were fixed on a steaming stall on the side of the street.

"General Zhang, what is that steaming thing?"

She pointed to the stall and asked Zhang Xiu who greeted them.

Zhang Xiu replied, "That man's delicacy is called Baozi."

"steamed stuffed bun?"

The Xianbei girl looked curious, and said to her subordinates, "Go and buy some, give this princess a taste."

General Xianbei hurried over, "Your bun... how do you sell buns?"

"What do you want?"

The stall owner asked with a smile.

The Xianbei general looked confused, "What's the matter?"

What they eat is very simple, how can there be so many tricks of the Han people.

Therefore, stuffing does not know anything.

A flash of contempt flashed in the stall owner's eyes, and he explained, "There are many kinds of stuffing for buns, including pork and cabbage stuffing, pork and green onion stuffing, egg and leek stuffing, or pure cabbage stuffing, and stuffing without stuffing, which one do you want? kind?"

Xianbei general: "o(╯□╰)o"

Overheard.

"Isn't this a food?"

They look the same on the outside.

The stall owner was even more contemptuous, "Of course it's a kind of food, it's just a different stuffing."

"Then what exactly is stuffing?"

General Xianbei was also angry.

He was an imposing Xianbei aristocratic general, but was despised by a lowly commoner.

He felt that this civilian was teasing him.

"You did it on purpose to make trouble."

The stall owner was also angry.

Such a big man, why can't he understand people's words?

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Zhang Xiu hurried over to stop it.

"One of each stuffing."

Zhang Xiu said to the stall owner.

"Okay you."

The stall owner knew Zhang Xiu, so he quickly wrapped the buns and handed them to Zhang Xiu.

The Xianbei general on the side was stunned, "Is it that simple?"

"Why are you still standing there, give me the money."

Zhang Xiu gave him a contemptuous look, and then brought a steaming steamed bun to Princess Xianbei.

……

Chapter 132 Don't Be Afraid, It's Just a Friendly Communication

After the Xianbei envoy left, the people around immediately laughed.

"A barbarian is a barbarian, I have never even seen a bun."

"If it weren't for General Zhang Xiu, I would never have sold it to him. These barbarians are not worthy of eating the delicacies invented by His Majesty!"

"That's right, it's their blessing to be able to enjoy the delicacies of our Celestial Dynasty."

"I don't know what their purpose is when they come to Beijing this time."

"I heard that they came here for a marriage. His Majesty wiped out the Xiongnu, and the Xianbei people were afraid."

"I hope Your Majesty will not accept the marriage. The Xianbei people are the worst. They killed many of our compatriots. I have a distant relative in Youzhou who was killed by the Xianbei people. His three-year-old child was given as food by the Xianbei people. ate!"
