Inside the palace.
Yan Jin is already very familiar with this place.
She happily ran into the Queen's arms and called out sweetly, "Your Majesty, Jin'er is here again!"
The emperor beside her picked her up and chuckled, "I finally understand why I like Jin'er. This child has a kind of vitality that no one else has."
"No matter when we meet, we are always happy."
Yan Jin was very proud in her heart.
He raised his little head.
[That's right! She's a real happy person!]
Xie Xueqing found it funny listening to her daughter's thoughts.
My daughter is becoming more and more confident now.
The emperor teased Xie Xueqing for a while, then remembered that he still had important things to do. He coughed lightly and turned his gaze to Xie Xueqing.
"Xie Xiao-Miss, I called you into the palace this time because I have something important to discuss with you."
The Queen took over the conversation, "An envoy from the Yunxi Kingdom has been visiting us these past few days. He heard that the cuisine of our Great Meng Dynasty is the most famous, so he wanted to try it."
"After much thought, I feel that the food at your Jinglan Tower is the most delicious. I still need your help."
When Yan Jin heard this, he couldn't help but applaud.
I was extremely excited.
[Mother, what a great opportunity! Promise the Queen! If we succeed, and you give us a few compliments, Jinglan Tower will become even more famous.]
Xie Xueqing was still a little hesitant, thinking about how to get people to come to the palace without affecting the restaurant's business.
Now when I hear my daughter’s thoughts, I suddenly feel that they make a lot of sense.
If he could become famous at this palace banquet, the business of his restaurant would definitely be much better.
"I will definitely do my best!"
Xie Xueqing immediately expressed his attitude.
The Emperor and Empress were very pleased to see that she agreed without hesitation, and they held Xie Xueqing in even higher regard.
After all, holding a palace banquet means that the restaurant's business will have to be suspended for a day. With the current strength of Jinglan Tower, it is not something that can be suspended casually.
Not everyone has this kind of courage.
The next day.
After Xie Xueqing informed his family and Madam Xue of the news in advance, he brought his cook and daughter to the palace.
Yan Jin was studying the precious flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden and was having a lot of fun alone.
Xie Xueqing looked at the food that had been prepared in advance and felt unprecedented satisfaction in her heart.
The flavor of each dish was perfect.
noon.
The palace was particularly lively.
As ministers came in one by one.
Yan Jin nestled in his mother's arms, observing every minister who came in.
【Well, this is good.】
[As expected, anyone who can stand here must be good-looking.]
When almost everyone arrived, Yan Jin looked towards the front.
That should be where the two distinguished guests from Yunxi Country will sit later!
I don’t know what the people of this small country look like.
Will it look ugly?
Just as Yan Jin was daydreaming, the beautiful and unique couple she met yesterday walked in.
The moment he stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes involuntarily looked over.
There is no other reason, it’s just that they are so handsome and beautiful that you can’t take your eyes off them.
Yan Jin was slightly surprised: [Good boy, aren't these the two people I saw the other day?]
【It can’t be such a coincidence! 】
[So this is someone from Yunxi Country.]
The two men stepped forward, saluted the emperor, and then said, "We have come here to pay tribute in exchange for peace between our two countries."
"Secondly, I want to present to you a treasure I found by chance."
After hearing what he said, everyone looked over curiously, wanting to see what the treasure was.
Yan Jin also looked over curiously.
She wanted to see what good things the other party could come up with.
"Carry it in."
Following the order from the young male messenger, four men came in carrying an extremely huge and heavy wooden box.
Just from the looks on the faces of the five strong men, you can tell how heavy this wooden box is.
With a thud, the box fell to the ground. Then the male messenger stepped forward and opened the box himself.
The moment the box was opened, everyone's attention was focused on it.
The same is true for Yan Jin.
She also wanted to see what good things were inside.
As the box was opened little by little, the contents inside revealed their true appearance.
This is an extremely huge stone. There are traces of someone chipping away at the top, revealing the crystal clear green color.
This is... Jade!
At this moment, even the emperor himself was slightly stunned when he saw this huge jade.
Although the Meng Dynasty was not short of jade, this was the first time such a large piece of jade had been seen, and it was very rare.
"Your Majesty, you can come and see for yourself."
The young man with wheat-colored skin said.
Looking at the jade beside him, his eyes were full of pride.
"You can't appreciate its beauty from a distance!"
“Only when you get close can you know how beautiful it is.”
Yan Jin looked at the man's expression and felt a little disgusted.
【Why do I feel so weird! 】
[But if this were mine, I'd probably be even more weird than him.]
Thinking of this, Yan Jin no longer felt disgusted.
The emperor sitting at the top listened to his advice and walked down from the throne with interest.
