Chapter 203 Thinking back to the past, I also deeply understand
The system suddenly interrupted: [Give me a gold ingot and think about it.]
Yuan Ruan smiled with crescent eyes: [Ha.]
The Minister of Rites was touched by Yuan Ruan's cute expression. He immediately took out a small jade pendant and placed it in Yuan Ruan's arms, whispering, "Little Imperial Master, have you seen that person? As soon as she opens her mouth, shock her."
Yuan Ruan happily held the high-purity jade pendant and looked in the direction of the other person's finger.
System: [Wa Qu, isn't this a girl disguised as a man? Maybe your brother and the others have noticed something and started making plans.]
Yuan Ruan touched his chin and became excited: "Okay, okay."
The Minister of Rites asked the Vice Minister of Rites to hold Yuan Ruan and sit at the back. Then he asked another Vice Minister of Rites and the Doctor of Rites to sit in the middle. As for himself, he sat in the high seat on the left.
When two countries negotiate, seating also represents etiquette and momentum.
The Minister of Rites ignored Chen Guo and sat on the side, which was, to put it bluntly, contempt.
The official behind Envoy Li stood up and bowed, saying, "Sir, our Chen Kingdom has come here with sincerity to exchange ideas with Xia Kingdom. Please take a seat, Sir."
Yuan Ruan immediately stuck his head out and said, "Here they come, the first wave of diplomatic confrontation is coming."
Are we going to have a quarrel?
Would it be like the TV series he had watched: Great countries are magnanimous!
The Minister of Rites smiled and walked down gracefully, but he did not sit at the main seat at the negotiation table, but at the last seat.
After this, the envoy from the State of Chen felt a little at a loss and looked at Envoy Li helplessly.
The Chen State envoys looked somewhat unhappy.
System: [Aruan. The Minister of Rites sighed and came down when he was told to.]
The corner of the Minister of Rites' mouth twitched slightly: System, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.
Yuan Ruan looked at it carefully and said, "I don't think he was scared. The other party asked him to come down, and the Shangshu did come down and sit down, but he sat in the inappropriate last seat, which is still a kind of contempt. It will also put the Chen State delegation in a dilemma."
The Minister of Rites smiled appreciatively: You are worthy of being my country's luck, you are so smart.
System: [Ah? Why?]
Yuanruan: [There is a little psychological research that says when a subordinate asks a superior for something, and the superior agrees but does not do it completely, the subordinate will most likely not dare to make another request. Hey, speaking of this, I have a deep understanding of this.]
The Minister of Rites suddenly stopped laughing. Who is it? Who dares to bully our country's imperial teacher?
The faces of the officials of the Xia State immediately turned cold and murderous, causing Chen Guolai, who had spoken earlier, to dare not say a word at all and sit back in fear.
The system's voice was also unhappy: [Ah Ruan! Have you been bullied before? I'll take care of it for you! ]
Yuan's chubby face recalled: [Thinking back to the time when school was about to start, my friends all had no homework for the winter break, so I shamelessly asked a strange nerd in the library to borrow homework to copy... ahem, borrow for reference. The nerd agreed but gave me a Chinese language course instead. I don't know if he politely refused or didn't hear me clearly, but I really didn't dare to ask more questions, and in the end I didn't have time so I just wrote it down...]
The Minister of Rites nearly spit out a mouthful of tea.
The expressions of other officials of Xia State were completely different.
The scholar official's mouth twitched and he covered his face.
The poor-student officials showed empathy on their faces.
System: [Poof.]
At this time, Envoy Li took the initiative to stand up, walked to the opposite side of the Minister of Rites, sat down gently and said: "I have always thought that the four countries are all countries of etiquette, but I didn't expect that the etiquette of Xia Kingdom is to respect the right. We just sat randomly before."
As soon as Envoy Li moved, the other envoys from the State of Chen also moved forward.
System: [Aruan, why does this person want to change his seat? ]
Yuan Ruan: [Master versus master, general versus general. As the party with a request, the Chen State delegation must take the initiative to change their position. But this person is quite arrogant, and even said something to mock the Xia State for being impolite. So, he is quite good at saving his own face.]
At this time, the Chen State delegation had already begun to formally discuss border issues with the Xia State delegation.
The Minister of Rites has been communicating with the other party in a gentle manner, just like playing badminton. The other party hits a smash, and the Minister of Rites hits it back with a lob. The other party hits a smash again, and the Minister of Rites hits it back slowly...
Both sides spoke as if they had eaten Dove chocolate, using all kinds of professional terms, unfamiliar cities, and data such as reported casualties and deaths, and baggage, with great fluentness.
Yuanruan listened to their conversation and felt more and more sleepy.
The system also muttered: [Ah Ruan. This kind of mild debate is not exciting at all, so boring. Do you want to suffocate your opponent with words, using all kinds of Tai Chi? ]
The Minister of Rites' mouth twitched slightly and he took a sip of tea. "System, do you understand the art of language?"
The corners of the mouths of other officials in the Ministry of Rites also twitched slightly.
Yuan Ruan yawned: [Well, it shouldn't be that serious, right? I have confidence in the Minister of Rites. Oh, by the way, Tong'er, we almost forgot that today we are not only keeping an eye on Envoy Liu to see if she speaks, but mainly because of the melons she is wearing as a man! The melons are coming from all directions!]
System: [Ah, I almost forgot. Let me see, oh my god, this girl is actually one of the heroines of the Chu State! ]
The pupils of the Xia officials shrank: !!!
Heroine?
Did the living heroine see it?
Their obscure and curious gazes fell on Envoy Liu.
Envoy Liu, who was sitting upright, shuddered suddenly, and looked around quietly but saw nothing. No, she met the imperial teacher's sparkling eyes.
Yuan Ruan: [Ha, I knew it! This person is dressed as a man to serve as an official, so she must be a female protagonist! Tell me more.]
The system couldn't help but remind him: [Aruan, be more restrained. You seem so excited to visit the monkeys.]
Yuan Ruan immediately coughed lightly and calmed down.
System: [I will continue. First of all, Chen State’s negotiation will fail. The two cities will eventually belong to our Great Xia.]
The Minister of Rites and his entourage shuddered all over.
Their backs straightened instantly, and they suddenly smiled at each other.
The envoy from the State of Chen, who was in the middle of a passionate debate, felt a chill run down his spine.
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. Your spoiler came so unexpectedly. Haha, that’s good. And then what?]
System: [This time, Chen State sent two envoys. Envoy Li deliberately put all the blame on Envoy Liu. Didn't he say before that there was a man who liked Envoy Liu? Then he also put a lot of effort into this matter. Anyway, he suppressed Envoy Liu in various ways, hoping to take the opportunity to take him down.]
Yuan Ruan frowned: [What a shame! The heroine wasn't bullied, was she? Wait, there's a key point, is she a heroine in a sad story or a happy story? ]
