Chapter 370: There is not enough temptation, why should this princess take risks?
A maid came in with a tray to serve tea. Du Wanwan took a look and her face showed no expression. The maid did look up at her and felt that Doctor Du was really a handsome man with delicate features and a graceful figure.
The maid bowed her head shyly, put down the tea bowl, knelt down and left. Du Wanwan looked at the bowl of tea with a hint of dark green and couldn't help but smile.
She was hungry, and just then another palace maid brought some snacks. She took a look at them, nodded and smiled at the visitor, and waited for her to put down the plate of snacks. She picked up a piece, looked at it, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
It is very similar to mung bean cake. It tastes fragrant, sweet and a bit sandy. I don’t know what this snack is called.
After eating two pieces, he found them a little dry, so he covered his face with his sleeves, took out the spiritual spring water and drank a few sips. Then he sat patiently in his seat, waiting for the King of Qi to appear.
After waiting for about another quarter of an hour, the King of Qi finally arrived. When Du Wanwan saw him come in, she did not stand up to greet him.
Anyway, we will all be at loggerheads in the future, so why bother being polite?
"King Qi! Is this how you entertain guests?" Du Wanwan pointed at the tea on the table, implying something. "It's ok that they came late, but even the tea they serve to guests is so disgusting. I think King Qi should drink it himself!"
Hearing this, King Qi smiled slightly and glanced at the tea. He knew in the study that Du Wanwan did not drink the tea he had ordered, but only ate two pieces of dessert.
After all, he is a miracle doctor. He must have figured out that the tea was drugged. No wonder she didn't drink it. Since that method doesn't work, let's have a direct conversation.
"Doctor Du! Let's be frank. I asked you to come here today because I want you to cooperate with me."
The King of Qi acted arrogantly, as if saying, "I am determined to win, and you have to cooperate with me whether you agree or not."
"Cooperation? Sure!" Du Wanwan looked relaxed, as if smiling, "What does the King of Qi want to cooperate with? Dongchen's muskets?"
As soon as she said this, the pupils of the King of Qi suddenly contracted several times, and then he was stunned: "How did Doctor Du know this?"
"That's not hard to guess." Du Wanwan said in a "you're making a fuss" tone, "King Qi wants to aspire for that position, so he naturally wants to find the best weapon.
I am the princess of Dongchen Kingdom, so it is reasonable for me to want to win you over. However, you want a musket, and I want to see the sincerity of the King of Qi.
If you are sincere enough, there is no problem with cooperation. If you are not sincere enough, let's not talk about it. I am very busy and don't have time to play with you. "
"What kind of sincerity do you want?" King Qi was overjoyed to see Du Wanwan so straightforward.
As long as he could win her over to his side, he would be able to get that position in no time. But he was very curious, how did Doctor Du know what he was thinking? Even his father didn't notice it.
Du Wanwan: “???”
Didn't notice? They are looking at you through a thick filter. But the filter will be removed soon, and they are probably busy sending people to investigate you.
Pushing the tea beside her, Du Wanwan leaned half of her body on the tea table and asked, "What kind of sincerity can the King of Qi give?"
"Do you want to become my woman? Once you succeed, how about I make you my imperial concubine?"
"Bang!" Du Wanwan slammed the table, her face livid. "Prince Qi, be careful with your words and put away your dirty thoughts. I want you to be with me for the rest of my life. The royal harem is filled with chaos and foul smells. I don't even want to look at it for a second."
Since she is here to negotiate, she naturally has to behave like a princess.
Ordinary people VS King Qi, she is at a great disadvantage.
It was only when she brought up her status as the Princess of the Protectorate that they could be equal. He was the prince of Wei, the son of the emperor, but she was also a princess with a title from the Dongchen Kingdom.
We are all the same, so there is no need to be afraid of anyone.
Ouyang Qing's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. What kind of words were these? As the king of a country, it was already the greatest tolerance for him to accept her identity as a married woman. He didn't expect that she would be unwilling to do so.
Could it be that I am not as good as that warrior Ye Tingxiao?
"Then what do you want?" The King of Qi suppressed his anger and asked slowly.
Du Wanwan restrained her temper and said lightly, "A king with a different surname."
"What?"
The King of Qi never dreamed that Du Wanwan would make this request.
What he didn't expect was yet to come: "And you want the five counties surrounding Liangjun City as your fiefdom. If you agree, we will all be happy. If you don't agree, this princess won't suffer any loss."
After saying this, Du Wanwan closed her mouth and said nothing more, waiting for King Qi's answer.
"No room for negotiation? Must the king be of a different surname?"
The King of Qi looked very ugly.
Not only is he a king of a different surname, but he also has to take the five counties around Liangjun City. In this way, Du Wanwan's king of a different surname will become a small country in the Wei Dynasty.
This means that a small part of the power in the hands of the Emperor of Wei was divided away.
"That's right." Du Wanwan smiled calmly, "If there is not enough temptation, why would this princess take the risk? If the emperor finds out, I will be beheaded.
You are the emperor's most beloved son, so you are not afraid. Although I am the princess of Dongchen, I am still a commoner of Wei. If I am really convicted of treason, Dongchen will be out of reach.
The greater the risk, the higher the return. Without high returns, who would work hard for others? "
In fact, these were all excuses. Du Wanwan never thought about becoming a king of a different surname.
He just wanted to hold the King of Qi back, find out his past, and then take away all the money he had painstakingly accumulated. Without money, what would support a man's ambition?
"You want Ye Tingxiao to become a king of a different surname?" King Qi sneered, "Aren't you afraid that even if he gets the title of king, he will still have concubines and concubines and keep a bunch of women in the backyard?"
Du Wanwan smiled confidently, "Don't worry about this, King Qi. I know Ye Tingxiao better than anyone else. If that day comes, I will have plenty of ways to deal with him.
King Qi, please think carefully about whether our cooperation can continue! If you want to talk, then be frank. If not, I will leave."
Ouyang Qing stared at the woman in front of him who was calm and composed and had all the initiative in his hands, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
The day before yesterday, I received a secret report from a spy that the King of Dongchen had promised that the sale of muskets could only be discussed if the Princess Protector of the Country asked for it.
Otherwise, Dongchen Kingdom would never sell muskets to any country or anyone.
This princess who protected the country brought various technologies to the Kingdom of Dongchen, including the production of sugar, marinade, sesame oil, and tea oil.
The once impoverished people of Dongchen began a new life. They participated in planting, breeding, manufacturing and trading industries.
More and more people have lived a life of plenty with the help of these technologies, and the reputation of the Princess Protector of the Country is very high in Dongchen Country.
If not, how could he treat her so politely today.
She agreed to help, but the conditions were very harsh.
This condition was really hard for him to accept. He could ask for anything, but why did he have to demand to be crowned a king of a different surname?
What does she want to do? Use Dongchen to become the king? Or does she want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain a place for her son?
Doctor Du! The Princess Protector of the Nation! She really has a good vision.
