Before Yan Li could speak, the man had gone, as ethereal as a cloud, as sudden as the evening wind, leaving Yan Li with only melancholy.
I fought her a few tricks just now, did she let him catch her because she was soft-handed
On the third day, the convoy escorting Zixuan back to Tianchi country gathered at the north gate. Yan Li led all the concubines from the harem to the north gate and set up a farewell party with wine. The north wind howled, and the weather was cold. I don't know how cold it is after going to Tianchi country.
In the ten-mile long pavilion, Yan Li ordered Eunuch Lu to bring a box and gave it to Rong Changan: "Concubine Xue Gui, this is a gift from me. You may need it when you go to Tianchi Country."
Rong Changan happily asked: "What's inside?" Just as she was about to open it, Yan Li stopped her hand.
"It won't be too late to open it after you go to Tianchi country."
Rong Changan didn't open it anymore: "What gift is so mysterious?"
Yan Li: "When you open it, you will naturally understand!"
Rong Changan's bright eyes flashed: "Could it be that there is a devil inside?"
Yan Li didn't mean to be joking at all: "It's something useful to you."
Seeing Yan Li speak so seriously, and seeing some reluctance in his eyes, she also felt a little heavy in her heart. This pass is ten thousand heavy, if you die in another country, you will not be able to meet Yan Li for the last time, wouldn't it be sad
Rong Changan then bowed deeply to Yan Li: "Thank you Lord Long En!"
Yan Li looked at the special envoy who was standing a little far away, and whispered to Rong Chang'an: "Go over there, take care of yourself. If you can check it, check it. If you can't, don't take risks, you know?"
Now Rong Changan listens to Yan Li's every sentence: "The concubine must obey the emperor's orders."
Taking advantage of Yan Li not paying attention, Zi Yan slowly approached the special envoy. She only now knew that Rong Changan was going to send Zixuan to Tianchi country, but she felt that "Xue'er"'s motive for going to Tianchi country was not simple.
She had a smile on her face, but there was a black cloud between her brows and eyes: "What do you think is her intention in sending Zixuan to your country?"
The special envoy suddenly lowered his eyelids: "What does the imperial concubine mean?"
Zi Yan covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "Now she is going smoothly in the palace, don't you find it strange that she suddenly goes to Tianchi country?"
Special envoy: "She treats Princess Zixuan like a sister, and she is reluctant, so she wants to send the princess back to China."
Ziyan giggled, laughing that the special envoy's mind is too simple: "Xue'er's mind is exactly the same as that of Rong Chang'an in the past. She does not do anything so simple. I personally think that she is called sending Zixuan back to China, but in fact I want to find out about your country."
Zi Yan cast a wink at him, and the special envoy immediately understood what it meant.
"She wants to check our plans?"
Zi Yan nodded: "Exactly. So, Mr. Special Envoy, you have to be on guard against her after you go back, and you must not reveal a word of your plan to her. It is really a last resort, so..."
Zi Yan made a beheading gesture, and the envoy's brows wriggled like two worms.
"This... can't this be done?"
Zi Yan shook her head: "Don't be kind to the enemy, otherwise you will regret it. I used to be too kind to my enemy, so now I have to stay in the Pepper Palace and live alone. Don't step on me in his footsteps."
Special envoy: "If I do that to her, how can the emperor let it go?"
Zi Yan laughed again: "It's thousands of miles away, how does he know how Xue'er died?"
As if enlightened, the special envoy suddenly came to his senses: "Thank you for reminding me, Concubine."
Zi Yan approached the special envoy: "I hope that when I see you next time, you will already be the prince of a country!"
The special envoy grinned: "Haha, the imperial concubine was joking, how can I be the crown prince!"
Zi Yan patted him on the shoulder, then gave him a meaningful smile, then slowly left and stood back to the original position.
Eunuch Lu came over and said to the special envoy, "Master Special Envoy, the emperor has summoned you!"
The special envoy hated the word "summon" very much, and thought: One day, I will never hear the word "summon" from others again.
He followed Eunuch Lu to the pavilion, made a big gift, and said in tears: "I don't know when I will be able to listen to the emperor's teachings and learn from your country's teachings. I only want to be a cow and a horse in the Dajing country, and I don't want to go back to the country to do it." What prince's son! At the time of parting, how can this situation make people weep!"
Yan Li and Rong Changan glanced at each other, thinking that this special envoy is too good at acting. On the surface, it seems that he cherishes every bit of being in Dajing Country, admires the culture of Dajing Country, and wishes to be a dog of Dajing Country, but in his heart, he longs to fly back to Tianchi Country in one step!
Yan Li just smiled slightly, Eunuch Lu brought up a box, Yan Li personally handed the box to the special envoy: "This is a parting gift from you, I hope the special envoy will treasure it."
Special envoy: "I don't know what kind of precious gift the emperor gave me?"
Yan Li signaled him to open it: "If you want to know, just open it."
The envoy pointed to the box: "Can you?"
Yan Li nodded.
The special envoy removed the copper lock on the box, and opened the box with a snap, but it was just a golden ear of wheat! The special envoy thought it was a real pearl, but the gap was too great. The envoy is confused and embarrassed:
"Your Majesty, this..."
Yan Li said: "Could it be that the special envoy underestimated this ear of wheat?"
Envoy: "..."
Yan Li: "Do you know the meaning of the ears of wheat I gave you?"
Special envoy: "It is precisely because I don't know that I am confused."
Yan Li said solemnly: "Wheat is the food of the people. If the people live without it, it is difficult for the people to survive. This is the foundation of the people and the foundation of the country. If the people of a country have food, then the country will not prosper. It will not last long."
The special envoy seemed to understand Yan Li's meaning: "The emperor wants the minister to tell the king to love the people like a son and develop agriculture after returning home, right?"
Yan Li looked at the north, his eyes were deep, and his face was solemn: "You only said one of them. If the people of a country want to have enough food and clothing, they must develop agriculture. That's true, but what is the prerequisite for the people to develop agriculture, does the special envoy know?"
Asking this question to the special envoy again, he wondered if Yan Li was deliberately embarrassing him today? He faltered for a while, but didn't know what Yan Li meant.
"The emperor is silent and wise, the minister looks ahead, the emperor is suddenly behind, the minister really does not have the emperor's essentials."
Yan Li still admired the eloquence of this special envoy. He looked at Rong Changan: "Concubine Xue Gui, do you know the meaning of sending the special envoy Maisui?"
Rong Chang'an replied without thinking: "The emperor's meaning is very clear. If the people of a country want to develop agriculture, the premise is to have domestic political stability, live in peace with neighboring countries, and live in harmony with each other. Only then can there be a peaceful environment. Only a peaceful environment can develop agriculture and provide food and clothing for the people. Only when the people have food and clothing can the country be stable and prosperous.”
