When Shi Yu led the delegation to the palace, Emperor Tai'an was having dinner with Empress Liu.
Well, dinner was very simple, just the usual simple meal of an ordinary family: three dishes and a soup.
No wonder Emperor Tai'an didn't like coming to Empress Liu's place.
It turns out that life was very austere under Empress Liu's care.
When Empress Liu saw Shi Yu arrive, she greeted him warmly.
"Princess Shengping is here. Have you had dinner yet? Would you like to join us?"
Shi Yu glanced at the bland soup on the table and quickly shook her head.
"No, no, don't."
I won't eat grass, I won't eat grass.
Shi Yu shook her little head like a rattle drum, which made Empress Liu laugh.
"You little brat, you're complaining that the food here isn't good, aren't you?"
"Your Majesty is getting old and shouldn't eat too much meat and sweets all the time, as that's not good for your health."
"Eating simple meals occasionally can help balance things out."
Shi Yu felt that what Empress Liu said made a lot of sense.
He pointed in the direction of Emperor Tai'an and said.
"You, eat it all."
"No, no, we can't waste it."
Emperor Tai'an was both amused and exasperated; this little brat was actually disciplining him.
"Okay, okay, okay." He nodded indulgently in agreement with Shi Yu's words.
"Eat, eat, eat! I'll eat it all."
“Before, it was you, the Empress, who governed me, and now there’s another little one.”
"With you all in charge, I feel much more at ease."
"Little guy, why don't you come along and have a better meal?" Emperor Tai'an asked Shi Yu with a deliberately amused smile.
When Shi Yu saw the simple three dishes and one soup on the table, she shook her head even more vigorously than before.
"No, no, don't."
"Fishing, fishing, eating meat."
"Hehe..." Emperor Tai'an laughed heartily upon hearing this.
He knew that this little baby couldn't live without meat.
When Emperor Tai'an saw her arrive with her entourage, he quickly ate a few bites and then ordered his men to leave.
This simple, coarse food, let alone Shi Yu's dislike for it.
Even he doesn't like to eat it.
He was, after all, an emperor, and had eaten delicacies for decades.
How could I possibly eat such simple meals again?
However, Empress Liu was frugal and always adhered to the practice of remembering the bitter past and appreciating the sweet present.
Every time Emperor Tai'an visited Empress Liu, he was required to eat the same simple meals as before.
Over time, Emperor Tai'an stopped coming to Empress Liu's place.
However, he recently discovered that while Empress Su is sweet, she is a sugar-coated bullet, and he shouldn't indulge in too much of her.
After the palace servants had finished packing everything away, Emperor Tai'an reached out to Shi Yu.
"Little one, come here, let me hug you."
"Tell me, what are you doing here at this time, bringing people from the Lin Yue Kingdom with you?"
"Did you accept bribes from someone?"
Shi Yu's face immediately darkened when his thoughts were guessed.
[You've become an emperor, and you've even forgotten how to speak properly.]
Upon seeing Shi Yu's gloomy face, Emperor Tai'an immediately changed his tune.
"Little one, why are you in such a good mood today?"
"What good news do you want to tell me?"
"Hmm, that's more like it!" Shi Yu's expression improved again.
"He is a sacred object, with lots of gold."
Shi Yu raised her little hands and gestured.
"I want to."
"Give him the things."
Upon hearing this, the delegation representative's face instantly lit up with joy.
He was so overjoyed that he wanted to kneel down before Shi Yu on the spot.
Is this little brat so effective at speaking in front of Emperor Tai'an?
If only he hadn't gone around trying to make connections, he could have just come directly to Shi Yu.
After listening, Emperor Tai'an lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"The Ministry of Rites will discuss this matter with the representatives of Lin Yue Kingdom."
"We don't need to worry about all that."
"As long as the final result is determined, that's fine."
Shi Yu also thought about it, just like Emperor Tai'an.
"I'll take the gold."
Emperor Tai'an already knew this was the case, so he wasn't surprised at all.
The little guy has very little resistance to gold.
Emperor Tai'an thought for a moment and then said.
"How about we lend them an extra one then?"
Shi Yu thought for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, that's fine."
Upon hearing this, the representative of the Lin Yue Kingdom was so happy that he immediately knelt down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Princess Shengping."
With one more sacred object, he can have a better account to give when he goes back.
Finally, the Ministry of Rites and the people of Lin Yue Kingdom discussed for more than half a month, until the leaves on the leaves of the trees were almost all fallen, before reaching a mutually satisfactory answer.
"The Great Gan Kingdom lent the Lin Yue Kingdom three sacred artifacts."
"The Kingdom of Lin Yue gave them enough gold and silver."
Emperor Tai'an read the agreement and added another item to it.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites were immediately displeased upon seeing this.
They worked so hard to negotiate this deal.
How can Your Majesty add things so casually?
When Emperor Tai'an said it was Shi Yu's idea, the people from the Ministry of Rites immediately fell silent.
What's the point of saying anything more?
Don't let Shi Yu and Gua66 eat your words until you're left with nothing.
It can be said that in the current court of the Great Gan Kingdom, Shi Yu's words sometimes carry more weight than those of Emperor Tai'an.
The people of Lin Yue Kingdom received the sacred object and prepared to leave.
Jiang Yingxue specially asked for permission to go out and see them off.
Shi Yu acted as a monitor, following along on a large dog.
Outside the capital city, winter was already deep.
Small white snowflakes fell from the sky.
