Princess Lanqi felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have taken advantage of the fact that Qi Chao didn't dare to touch them easily and offended people without knowing the situation clearly, especially since... Although Qi Chao would not do anything to them, everyone has a temper and a bottom line, especially someone like Fan Wuguo, who was used to being willful and getting whatever he wanted.
Without saying anything else, just put yourself in their shoes. If someone from Qi Chao came to their Liuqie territory and teased her right away, she would probably be so angry that she would want to tear her life apart. If she couldn't kill him, it would be more than enough to punish him.
Princess Lanqi has great ambitions and wants to compete with her brothers for power and become the ruler of Liuka. She also knows how difficult it is to reach that step as a girl, and that forbearance and scheming are absolutely necessary. As for the rest, who can say it is true
"I apologize for offending you before. I hope you will..." Princess Lanqi paused and said, "Although I don't have ten thousand taels of cash, I did bring some precious medicinal herbs. I wonder if I can use them to make amends to you?"
Fan Wuguo looked Princess Lanqi up and down and said, "It turns out you're not stupid. All right, send the things over, and I won't bother with you anymore." He walked away without caring about his relatives.
Princess Lanqi's mouth twitched, and then she spoke slowly, "It is rumored that this person has a good relationship with Princess Anguo, and it seems to be true." If it didn't happen to be what he wanted, how could he just let it go so easily.
Chu Ci, who was still worried, immediately thought that he might be able to find another way.
Chu Ci was in a bad mood. He was not in the mood to discuss things with Liu Qia. Even though it was not his home court, he could not discuss it without his presence. After returning, he wanted to throw the matter to Chu Cheng to deal with, but Chu Cheng had a deadpan face and was not prepared to take over at all. Chu Ci was so angry that his veins jumped out and he wanted to quit. Bastard, he was just here to go through the motions, why should he clean up the mess now? It made him lose the mood to look at the beauty.
Unfortunately, Chu Cheng is a cold-blooded person. He doesn't care about anything other than his own business. Chu Ci, however, can't bear to watch those things happen and can only hold his breath to solve the trouble.
However, in this way, Chu Cheng's original idea seemed to have gone down the drain. Fan Wuguo had come with great fanfare and made the fact that Princess Yanqing was shameless and threw herself at him known to everyone. It was obvious that it was impossible for him to use this as an excuse to achieve his goal.
Chu Ci no longer wanted to ask Chu Cheng what he wanted to do.
After that, he lost his good face towards Princess Yanqing and ordered her to stay in the inn. If she dared to disobey, he would simply pack her up and send her directly to Fan Wuguo, saving him the trouble.
Princess Yanqing was really afraid of Fan Wuguo, so she behaved herself.
It is not so easy to find another way. Fan Wuguo is of noble status and has been favored by the emperor. He has seen all kinds of good things. He wants to follow the same path as Princess Lanqi, but Xichi does not have any precious medicinal materials to show. At that moment, he thought too little. Now he realizes that this road is not feasible. Is it really necessary to sell the things he carries with him
Then, Chu Ci set his sights on Baoguo. If other places couldn't raise "cash", Baoguo would definitely be able to.
It was not easy to get Baoguo to take out the gold and silver. Baoguo was also far away from Xichi, and Xichi could not threaten it. The valuable things Chuci and his men carried were nothing more than jade and other things. These things were even cheap in Baoguo to a certain extent. Chuci felt overwhelmed and wanted to beat up Chu Cheng and Yanqing, but he just thought about it and negotiated with other officials of Xichi.
They obviously didn't have any good solution. Just when they were at a loss, Chu Cheng came from nowhere and threw a stack of gold notes to Chu Ci. There were ten of them, each worth one thousand taels. They belonged to a money house in Qi Chao.
"Where did your Royal Brother get so much money..." Chu Ci stopped talking halfway. He didn't need to know where the money came from. As for whether exchanging the money directly from the bank would cause any trouble, that had nothing to do with him. He just handed it to the people below to exchange it.
Therefore, when Fan Wuguo received 12,000 taels of gold, he was indeed a little surprised. However, Xichi met his requirements, so he naturally did not say or do anything much. The matter was just passed so lightly.
—Well, if there are any questions, Wei Tingyu will naturally check them out.
Later, Liuqi and Xichi seemed to be getting along better and better, and began to ask for an audience with Emperor Xuanren.
Emperor Xuanren did not turn them away. It was as if he was completely unaware of what they had done before. He even held a banquet in the palace to entertain them, just like the other small countries that had requested an audience before.
This attitude makes people feel a little uneasy. They wonder if he doesn't care, or if he has everything under control for them
Banquets have been held almost every day these days, so naturally they are not so formal. The locations of the banquets are also different, either in the garden or in a garden with special scenery. The day before yesterday it was even held in a rare animal garden.
Today, at Liuqi's request, the banquet was held in the parade ground. Why in the parade ground? It goes without saying that everyone knows what Liuqi wants to do.
Liuka has always been a martial artist. Even when the relationship was good, he couldn't help wanting to show off. What's more, the two countries were hostile and it was already past Emperor Xuanren's birthday, so Liuka was naturally not so polite.
Even though he knew their purpose, Qi Chao was not afraid at all.
At such a banquet, all the civil and military officials who could rank high would be present. A few days ago, most of the guests were civil officials, but today, most of the guests were military officials. The guards around seemed to be different. As for Liuqi, there were not only a few people entering the palace, but also many guards following them. Before anything happened, their eyes met and sparks began to fly. They were ready to fight. It was just a fight, so who was afraid of who
This time Princess Lanqi also entered the palace. In fact, the effect of "not adapting to the local climate and water" on her had not completely disappeared. However, after three days, she was just still feeling a little uncomfortable. It was impossible for her to stay at home.
He was still dressed in men's clothes, looking flamboyant and unrestrained. When he met Emperor Xuanren, his aura was even on par with Xiao Yu. Emperor Xuanren looked at him imperceptibly and couldn't help but praise him a few words.
Most people, even if they understand the national conditions of Liuqi, will inevitably look down on Princess Lanqi when they see her, and may even still have some pedantic ideas. However, Emperor Xuanren would not do that. Perhaps it was because he knew Liuqi better, or there might be some factor of Xiaocao involved. Of course, it was more of a rare tolerance, which was actually very obvious in Xiaocao. Otherwise, what Xiaocao wanted to do would not be so smooth.
—If it were someone else, even if he was her savior, she might show favor, but she would not easily nod when the limit was exceeded. Even if she saw the benefits, the final credit might be attributed to a certain man.
