"Empress Jocelyn has come from afar and has worked hard on the journey. This banquet tonight is specially prepared for the Empress and the Princess. Please enjoy yourselves tonight. If there is any inadequacy in the hospitality, please forgive us, Empress."
You still have to say the polite official language.
"Your Majesty is too polite. I have already felt the hospitality of Daqing. The people of Daqing are very kind. Daqing is indeed a good place."
Joseline spoke the language of Rakshasa, and without a translator, no one would know what she was saying.
But Jiang Sui understood. Isn't this English? For her, who has passed the Level 6 English test, it is nothing. But hearing this English in another world actually made her nose sour.
Family members, why do I feel so close to them?
The emperors of the two countries toasted each other with a glass of wine, and the polite formalities were over. Next, it was time for singing and dancing.
The dancers in the palace tried their best and displayed their best skills in order to let the Russian people feel the uniqueness of their Daqing culture.
Daqing's dance is mainly graceful and beautiful. The dancers have flexible waists and can perform many difficult moves. The Dunhuang dance is as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon. Josephine couldn't take her eyes off it.
There were also banquets in Luosha Country, but they were just cocktail parties. Unlike the Daqing Festival, where everyone sat in their own seats and watched the singing and dancing in an orderly manner, they could move around freely, and there would be various music on the scene. The ladies could choose the man of their choice to dance a ballroom dance with.
Moreover, their dances are relatively simple, not as rich as those in Daqing, and their musical instruments are not as diverse.
Daqing's cuisine is also very unique, with rich flavors, a wide variety, and different cooking methods. She was used to eating milk bread and the same old steak in Luosha Country. Suddenly, when she tasted Daqing's food, her facial expressions became very rich, and she kept nodding her head to show her approval.
Fang Miao told her that the food cooked by her benefactor Jiang Sui was the best in the world, and she must go and try it in person someday, which would give her an unforgettable experience.
Joseline listened patiently. As she watched her daughter's vivid description, a loving smile appeared on her face, an expression she definitely did not have when facing her two sons in Rakshasa Country.
At the banquet, Helian Heng took the initiative to toast the empress, wanting to make his presence felt.
The empress glanced at him indifferently. She knew very well in her heart that she had long seen through this boy's intentions towards her daughter.
However, deep down, she has always looked down on men. In Luosha, men are just foils for women, not necessities.
Her daughter is of noble status and will inherit the royal family of Luosha Kingdom in the future. Even if he is the prince of Daqing, she will still consider it.
Overall, the welcome banquet was very successful. There was only one person who felt uneasy throughout the whole event, and that was Concubine Guo, because she had done something wrong. Everyone else was having a great time.
When the palace banquet was about to end, Fang Miao walked over to Jiang Sui and sat down. She excitedly held her hand:
"Sui Sui, I miss you so much."
"Me too, Your Highness!" she said in a joking tone.
Fang Miao heard this and gave her a scolding look:
"You just tease me. I came here to tell you that I will bring my mother to your house tomorrow. She is very interested in Daqing's food. I told her that the dishes you cook are the best in the world, and she can't wait to try them."
When Jiang Sui heard this, she looked at Xiao Hechuan at a loss.
What? The empress came to visit her house?
It would be a lie for Jiang Sui to say that she wasn't nervous. This was the empress of Luosha Kingdom, a great hero, and she came to visit her little temple?
"Don't be afraid. The Empress is a very nice person. I told her about you and she praised you a lot. Besides, I won't be staying in Daqing for much longer. I want to say goodbye to you properly in the few days left."
This time, we can only stay in Daqing for ten days or half a month at most, which is already the limit. After all, we still have to travel a long way and cross mountains and seas.
"Don't be afraid, just treat it as normal."
Xiao Hechuan patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare tonight. I'm quite nervous about the Empress's visit."
Jiang Sui felt a little guilty. She was wondering whether she should speak English to the Queen of Rakshasa Kingdom when the time comes.
Just as she was thinking about it, Fang Miao suddenly stuffed the dazzling colorful gem necklace that she was wearing around her neck into Jiang Sui's hand.
The country of Rakshasa is rich in gems. Each gem on this necklace is the size of a pigeon egg and is obviously priceless.
"I'll give it to you."
Fang Miao is very arrogant now. If it weren't for the occasion, she would have wanted to pick off all the valuable things on her head and give them to her, but doing so would be a bit embarrassing.
Jiang Sui held the weighty jewel necklace and thought to himself, wow, this must be worth a lot of money, right?
Gems are rare in Daqing, but very common in Luosha.
When the noble ladies saw that the princess of Rakshasa Kingdom had such a good relationship with the wife of Minister Xiao, they were all envious.
At midnight, the banquet finally ended, and the emperor arranged for guards to escort Josephine back to the palace.
Helian Heng called out to Helian Jing and Xiao Hechuan mysteriously.
Neither of them knew what he was up to.
"I have something that I would like to ask you two for help."
Helian Jing and Xiao Hechuan looked at each other, and seemed to have guessed something in their hearts.
"What is it?"
As long as Helian Heng doesn't act as a villain, he looks pretty good, and he also helped Helian Jing a little. Now that he needs help, it's impossible for them to refuse.
Moreover, this love-brained man's mind is now full of Fang Miao, so what he wants must be related to Fang Miao.
"I intend to ask my father to go to Luosha Country for marriage, and I would like to ask you two to put in a few good words for me."
I guessed what he wanted to say, but I really didn't guess that he would say this, a fucking marriage.
Since ancient times, we have only heard of princesses marrying off as foreign princes. When have we ever seen a prince marry off as foreign princes? Is Helian Heng the first person to do so?
Helian Jing and Xiao Hechuan both smiled unkindly.
"Don't laugh, be serious, I'm talking to you seriously." Helian Heng was not joking.
Helian Jing covered his mouth with his fist, coughed twice awkwardly, and then said:
"It's not easy to bring this up. Even if my father agrees, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough with Empress Joseline in her situation."
It can be seen that Joseline does not approve of Helian Heng's advances.
Moreover, from a political point of view, Fang Miao will be the princess of Luosha after she returns and will inherit the throne in the future. Josephine will definitely arrange a marriage for her with a son of Luosha nobles to give birth to offspring with pure bloodlines for her to train.
And Helian Heng is a prince of another country. If Fang Miao is just a princess, not a princess, then this matter is easy to deal with...
