Chapter 189 Envoy from Yun State
"There will definitely be something delicious. Brother Ye promises you that."
Recently, a new chef came to the palace. He is a first-class cook and can cook all kinds of fresh dishes.
Mo Junye had tasted the dishes he cooked and wanted to let Xiao Tangbao try them too.
Xiao Tangbao agreed immediately, "Then I will go with Brother Ye tomorrow."
The two men went to the backyard again and found that the back door was locked because the white lions that had been subdued before were kept in the backyard.
Normally, no one is allowed to enter except the servants who are responsible for feeding the lions.
When the big white lion demon saw his little master, he was so excited that he turned into a dog and licked the back of her hand.
"My little master, take me out to play."
A dignified lion demon, now he is kneeling and licking her like a puppy.
Little Tangbao shook his head, "No, I have to go to the palace tomorrow, and you're too big, or you'll scare others."
The lion demon quickly changed into the size of a puppy, with fluffy white hair, very cute.
It was still rolling on the ground, "Master, I'm so small now, can you take me out?"
Xiao Tangbao also wanted to bring the lion demon into the palace to play, so he raised his head and looked at Mo Junye.
"Brother Ye, can I bring this little white dog into the palace? It's very well behaved."
Mo Junye knew that it was a lion, and he even ate its magic pill.
Mo Junye nodded, "Okay, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone."
It is still okay to bring a puppy into the palace.
The next day, Xiao Tangbao entered the palace carrying the puppy-sized lion demon.
This time, envoys from other countries came to pay homage to the emperor and present treasures, and several brothers of the Shen family entered the palace.
In the main hall, the emperor and empress sat on the main seats.
Civil and military officials sat on both sides. Xiao Tangbao and Mo Junye sat together, eating and playing with the puppy.
"Here, have some meatballs."
[The food in the palace is indeed much more delicious. ]
The white lion was enjoying the meal. When he saw the new dishes, he stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail, "Hahaha, little master, put some meat in my mouth!"
Little Tangbao was amused by the lion demon and laughed out loud.
After a while, the eunuch's voice came from outside.
"The envoy of Yun Kingdom is here to see you!"
The officials around began to whisper to each other.
"I heard that Yun State has a very smart and lovely princess. His Majesty Yun State likes her very much. Her status is higher than that of the Princess of Yun State."
"This princess has made great contributions to Yun State by solving insect disasters and building canals."
Xiao Tangbao heard all these words and couldn't help but become curious about the Princess of Yun State who these people were talking about.
"Brother Ye, have you ever met the Princess of Yun Kingdom?"
Mo Junye was peeling walnuts for Xiao Tangbao, "I've never seen it before."
"So what do you think of the Princess of Yun Country? Is she pretty?"
Little Tangbao stretched his head over, blinking his big round eyes, looking very expectant.
Mo Junye raised his head, handed the walnut in his hand to her and smiled dotingly.
"Our little sugar baby is the most beautiful."
Which girl doesn't like to be complimented?
Little Tangbao ate a walnut happily and continued to tease the dog.
The envoys from the Yun Kingdom slowly walked into the hall, led by a little girl who had her face covered with a veil and politely paid her respects to His Majesty.
"I have seen His Majesty."
The emperor was somewhat displeased when he saw her wearing a veil, "Does the princess want to be seen by others? Why do you have to wear a veil when you come to the palace to meet me?"
"I am afraid that my face is so beautiful that the women of noble countries would die of shame."
"Ah, people who wear veils are usually ugly, but she thinks she's pretty, right?"
Little Tangbao was complaining while feeding the puppy.
The pair of eyes under the veil glared at Xiao Tangbao fiercely, and gritted his teeth and said, "This girl is so arrogant, you are not Princess Mingzhu!"
"Huh? Do you know me?" Little Tangbao showed a well-behaved expression, looking innocent.
The princess took off her veil and said proudly, "I have heard of your great name for a long time!"
Xiao Tangbao was stunned. This person turned out to be Shen Ruyi!
Wasn't Shen Ruyi in exile? Why did she become the princess of Yun State?
Mo Junye also glanced at Shen Ruyi, but he was not too shocked. He just took a look and continued to help Xiao Tangbao peel walnuts.
The Yun Kingdom envoy said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the princess of our Yun Kingdom. This time, she came to present treasures to your country."
The emperor was delighted. "Oh? What treasure did you bring this time?"
The envoy from the Yun Kingdom had someone carry up a huge box.
After the box was opened, the Jade-faced Guanyin was revealed.
"This statue of Guanyin is made of a whole piece of jade. It is priceless and has special meaning. That is why I am offering it to your Majesty."
The Yun Kingdom is backed by many high mountains and produces a lot of jade.
Although this jade Guanyin is very tall, it is not very valuable.
Especially the envoy's last sentence, "I think your country definitely doesn't have such good jade!"
The emperor's smile froze on his face, but only for a moment.
"Is your Yun Kingdom exaggerating a little? Our Dasheng Kingdom is vast and rich in resources. We have many treasures better than this Jade Guanyin."
Shen Ruyi is now the princess of Yun State, and she speaks very arrogantly.
"Since Your Majesty said that your country has many treasures, please take out one and let us see it!"
The eunuch beside the emperor understood the situation and found a very valuable jade Buddha from the national treasury.
As a result, Shen Ruyi laughed.
"The workmanship of this jade Buddha is not as exquisite as that of the jade Guanyin. The jade material is also the most common mutton-fat jade. Even the height of the jade is not half as high as our jade Guanyin."
"Your Majesty, this gift doesn't seem to be very suitable."
The emperor glared at the eunuch fiercely, and the eunuch was helpless.
This is the only jade Buddha that is the tallest, largest and most valuable in the national treasury!
Just when Shen Ruyi was feeling extremely proud, Xiao Tangbao led Bai Shi to the main hall.
"You Yun country just want to see whose jade is bigger. We in Dasheng have a jade Buddha that is taller than a human!"
Shen Ruyi sneered, "Shen Tang, be careful not to blow your own trumpet!"
This piece of jade is the largest one in Yun Country so far.
It would be impossible to find a second piece of jade in the whole country. She didn't believe that Shen Tang really had such a big jade.
"Your country is so poor, it's normal that you don't have it, just bring up the jade Buddha."
Not long after, a dozen guards came in carrying an emerald green jade Buddha.
Everyone was amazed by the huge jade Buddha and walked out of the hall one after another, wanting to take a closer look.
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a big piece of jade. It is taller than me!"
"The quality of this jade is top-notch, I have never seen anything like it before."
When Shen Ruyi saw the jade Buddha that was taller than her, her face turned green.
"Impossible! This jade must be spliced together!"
As she spoke, she pulled the officials of the Yun Kingdom to appraise it. "Take a look, it must be fake. How could Dasheng have such a big jade?"
The Yun Kingdom envoy was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately moved closer to take a closer look.
The more he looked, the more sweat appeared on his forehead.
"This, this jade Buddha is real. It is a complete piece of jade!"
