Just as Xia Miaoyuan was daydreaming, three people dressed in Dai Viet costumes had already walked into the hall.
"The envoys of Dai Viet pay their respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor!" the three shouted in unison.
"Stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the envoys completed the ceremony, they stood with their hands hanging down, all looking very respectful.
The corners of Emperor Mingxi's lips curled slightly. "Three Dai Viet envoys, welcome to Daxia. It has been many years since I last saw you, Dai Viet envoys."
After Emperor Mingxi finished speaking, a whisper was heard in the hall, and many ministers looked at the three envoys meaningfully.
The irony in Emperor Mingxi's words is obvious. A few years ago, when Daxia was weak, you simply broke off diplomatic relations. Now, the entire northern border has become a vassal state of Daxia, and you, Dayue, are here again.
Han Lie said calmly, "In the past few years, we, Dai Yue, have not sent envoys to your country and have not been able to maintain exchanges with your country. This is indeed a great loss for Dai Yue."
"However, from now on, Dai Viet will send envoys to your country every year. I hope our two countries can maintain good diplomatic relations and conduct more exchanges."
Emperor Mingxi nodded slightly: "Okay, I hope so."
Han Lie and Emperor Mingxi exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and after some polite words, the Great Prince stepped forward and said, "This time, we from Dayue have brought precious gifts for Your Majesty."
After saying this, the prince waved his hand and five followers from Dai Viet came in from outside the hall.
I saw four people carrying a huge wooden board, on which was placed an object more than one meter high, covered with a red cloth.
There was also an attendant holding a tray with a black lacquered wooden box on it.
The court officials all stretched their necks to look towards the center of the hall.
The eldest prince Yue Haoyun smiled proudly at the officials, and with a sudden pull, he pulled off the red cloth on the object.
A golden light immediately flashed in the hall.
Everyone subconsciously covered their eyes.
What's that? It's so bright and shiny?
Xia Miaoyuan looked closely and found that it was a golden tree more than one meter tall.
"This is called the Jade Leaf Golden Tree, and it was made by our Dayue craftsmen."
At this time, the officials below were discussing in low voices.
"Ah, it's a tree made of gold."
"Is it all gold inside and out?"
Yue Haoyun proudly introduced: "This tree is called Jade Leaf Golden Tree."
"Its entire trunk, branches, and some of its leaves are made of pure gold, inside and out."
“Some of the leaves here are carved from jade.”
"This Jade Leaf Golden Tree has produced a total of 318 kilograms of gold."
Xia Miaoyuan's heart surged with excitement when he heard this. "Oh my god, Dai Viet is really willing to spend a fortune this time! This golden tree must be worth a fortune."
"This jade-leaf golden tree, when placed in sunlight, will emit a dazzling golden light, extremely gorgeous."
"I, the Emperor of Dai Viet, present this tree to Your Majesty, wishing Your Majesty good health and a long life!"
Emperor Mingxi beamed with joy: "Great! I like it!"
The ministers below also echoed: "Good stuff, good stuff!"
After introducing the Jade Leaf Golden Tree, the eldest prince took the black lacquered wooden box from the tray.
He opened the wooden box and showed it to everyone before saying, "What's inside is called Longevity Pills."
"This is a pill made by a witch from our Dai Viet Kingdom. It has the effect of prolonging life."
"This pill was made using one hundred and eight kinds of precious medicinal herbs, and took a full ninety-nine and eighty-one days to refine. It is extremely precious."
Xia Miaoyuan rolled his eyes, "Bah! What a longevity pill! It's just a pill that'll kill you."
[It's one of those ancient, harmful pills that contain excessive amounts of heavy metals. After taking it, you'll feel euphoric and energetic, but if you take it for a long time, your body will become weak and you'll eventually die from poisoning.]
[Father, you must not eat this. I'll just keep it in the bottom of the box.]
When Emperor Mingxi heard his daughter's thoughts, he felt a chill down his spine. It turned out to be such a horrible pill, so he decided not to take it.
He wanted to live longer.
After the envoys presented their gifts, they withdrew.
This time, they also prepared gifts for the crown prince and each prince, but these gifts were sent directly to each palace.
As for the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, they were sent directly to their residences.
…
Kunning Palace.
Xia Miaoyuan was with the queen, looking at the gifts given to them by the Kingdom of Dai Viet.
The main theme of Dai Viet this time was luxury, and the gifts they gave to the Queen and Xia Miaoyuan were also very valuable.
Yin Xizi came at this time.
When the queen heard that Yin Xizi had arrived, she immediately asked her to sit down.
"Doctor Yin, did you go to see the second son yesterday? Tell me quickly, how is his health? Is it a relapse of an old illness or is he overworked?"
Yin Xizi looked embarrassed: "The Second Prince is not one of them."
Early this morning, the Queen sent someone to Yin's Medical Clinic to inquire about the Second Prince's condition.
Yin Xizi thought it would be better to go there in person.
So Yin Xizi followed the palace maid who came to inquire about the news and came to Kunning Palace.
"What happened to Chengnian? Doctor Yin, please tell me quickly." The queen became anxious.
"The Second Prince's pulse is very strange. To be honest, I can't diagnose what's wrong with him."
"His symptoms are somewhat similar to those of a poison."
"What? Poisoned!" The queen froze.
【It turns out that my second brother is poisoned! 】
[Oh my god, no wonder my second brother is so weird and abnormal.]
