Chapter 164: Marriage between Two Countries
The two children spared no effort in praising each other, but their words were very sincere, without any of the politeness between adults.
For a moment, the scene was very harmonious.
Only Shen Jisui, who was sitting next to Xiao Taozhi, had a gloomy expression.
I don't know why.
Just now, when he heard the little guy answer that he liked Fu Zhiyi, his heart was inexplicably tightened.
It felt a bit sour and strange.
Overall it was very uncomfortable.
He breathed a sigh of relief and his eyelids lifted slightly.
Fu Zhiyi was still peeling shrimps for Xiao Taozhi. He had almost finished peeling a whole plate of shrimps.
As he had received a good upbringing since childhood, Fu Zhiyi had very good dining etiquette, and his every gesture revealed nobility and elegance.
Unconsciously, Shen Jisui compared himself with Fu Zhiyi.
The comparable results speak for themselves.
He didn't have Fu Zhiyi's affluent background, nor did he have Fu Zhiyi's seemingly innate self-confidence...
He suddenly envied Fu Zhiyi.
I not only envy everything he has, but also envy his calmness and courage in expressing his love to Xiao Taozhi.
Besides envy, there is also jealousy.
He thought such dirty emotions would never appear in his heart.
Even though he had no parents and came from a poor family, he was always at the top of his class in school and was a leader. The experience he gained from working part-time jobs since he was young also gave him a mind and stress resistance that surpassed his peers.
But when faced with a rich young man like Fu Zhiyi who was superior to ordinary people in almost every aspect, he suddenly felt ashamed of himself.
As soon as Fu Zhiyi was born, he reached a height that no boy could possibly reach in his entire life.
How could he not feel inferior?
A huge feeling of powerlessness swelled in my chest, and then quickly spread to my limbs and bones.
The delicacies in his mouth lost their flavor in an instant. His eyes were a little dull and he just kept chewing.
suddenly.
Sinkitz suggested: "Diplomat Fu, you see these two kids are so close, why don't you stay in my Caster Empire for a few days and take the two kids out to play together.
I have arranged for someone to prepare a room for you, please enjoy yourself in my Caster Empire."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. President. I will respectfully obey your orders."
Fu Chuanxing readily agreed, "If you, Mr. President, are free one day, please come to the Moride Empire. I will certainly do my best to be a good host."
Sinkitz smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Diplomat Fu! I'm so busy with official duties back home that I might not have the good fortune to visit your country."
Then, he changed the subject: "However, Diplomat Fu can take Xiao Taozhi back with him on this trip and let her appreciate the beautiful scenery of your country on my behalf."
He then asked, "Xiao Taozhi, are you willing to go to the Moride Empire with Diplomat Fu?"
"Morrid...Empire..."
Little Taozhi muttered softly, then asked curiously, "What place is that?"
Fu Zhiyi answered first, "Zhizhi, Moride is my hometown. My hometown is so beautiful, with endless grasslands and towering mountains. It is the most beautiful place on the entire planet!"
When talking about his hometown, the boy's face was filled with pride.
The Moride Empire is backed by the sea and surrounded by mountains and forests. It is one of the countries with the best ecological protection on the entire planet and a tourist destination for people from all over the world.
"Okay, okay!"
Little Taozhi's big eyes lit up: "Zhizhi wants to go to Brother Zhiyi's country to play!"
The Xiao couple, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't sit still after hearing what Sinkitz said.
The bad guess in my mind seems to be being confirmed.
Xiao Hongshun pretended to be clueless and asked, "Mr. President, what do you mean by that? How could my Zhizhi possibly visit another country on behalf of the noble ruler?"
Sinkitz: "Commander Xiao, the signing of a friendship agreement between our country and the Moride Empire is a done deal. If we take this opportunity to establish a marriage between the two countries, wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The dinner table fell into dead silence.
Even Xiao Yucheng, who was usually a bit thick-skinned, understood what Sinkitz meant.
He was incredulous: "Mr. President, you must be joking. Even if the two countries want to form a marriage, they still have to find the right person."
Sinkitz's three sons were all married, and the two daughters of the president of the Moride Empire were also married, leaving only a little prince who was still in his infancy.
Xinkitz's smiling eyes unconsciously fell on Fu Zhiyi and Xiao Taozhi. "Look how well those two kids are playing together. Aren't they just the right match?"
One is the daughter of the first admiral of the Caster Empire, and the other is the son of the chief diplomat of the Moride Empire. Their status and position are very compatible.
The two elders of the Xiao family instantly frowned.
Sinkitz finally brought up the idea they had discussed a long time ago but least wanted to see happen.
On this planet where the political situation is changing rapidly, the method of consolidating relations between countries through marriage has existed since ancient times.
But everyone present knew it.
The marriage seems simple on the surface, but in fact, it involves extremely complicated interests.
No matter how noble the original status of a prince or noble is, the moment he becomes a marriage partner, he is already a pawn in the hands of the regime!
They have lost all their freedom, and even their every move is monitored.
We must even be prepared to sacrifice ourselves for the country at all times, or be abandoned by the country and become abandoned.
How cruel is this to an innocent child?
Xiao Yucheng rejected it without a second thought: "I don't agree!"
How could Xiao Yucheng possibly watch his precious child enter the household registration system without being moved?!
What's more, in his eyes, Fu Zhiyi is not worthy of his little bean sprout!
Having been flattered for so long in his high position, Sinkitz has never been used to hearing disobedient words.
He immediately frowned, and his displeasure seemed about to explode in the next second.
In an instant.
The atmosphere became tense and the air gradually became anxious.
But on the other side, the two children who were the protagonists were still chatting happily.
Gao Yahui grabbed Xiao Yucheng and glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!"
Then he said tactfully: "Mr. President, my son was ignorant and just offended you. I apologize to you on his behalf.
"But little Taozhi is only four years old this year. We can't bear to send her to a foreign country so hastily. She will definitely not adapt. Besides, I don't think the age of these two children is very suitable."
Hearing this, Sinkitz's expression softened.
He asked Fu Chuanxing: "Diplomat Fu, how old is your son?"
Fu Chuanxing: "I just celebrated my tenth birthday last month."
