Chapter 912: The Four Kingdoms Are Looked Down On
The old lady knew that Ling Yun had encountered some problems and wanted to discuss it with Su Nuan. She took Ling Yun's face into consideration and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go check on those fish."
After seeing the old lady off, Ling Yun said, "The envoy from the West Sea Kingdom is really infuriating."
Su Nuan held her chin with her hands and listened to his complaints with a smile.
How many people in this world can hear an emperor complain?
Ling Yun continued, "I originally thought that the people of West Sea Country would be more polite, but it turns out that they simply look down on us."
While Ling Yun was drinking tea, Su Nuan asked, "Doesn't the West Sea Kingdom give the Lu family any face?"
Ling Yun shook his head, "No, it seems that he still has some grudge against the Lu family."
Su Nuan became interested and asked, "So what did they say?"
Ling Yun was silent, organizing his words before speaking, "We also have a coastal fishing village here. Su Xia immediately brought several villages there to join the Sifang Kingdom."
"But the people of West Sea Country say that we only eat rotten fish and shrimp, and there is no good seafood..."
He didn't say anything else, perhaps because what he said next was even more unpleasant, so he didn't say anything else.
Su Nuan touched her chin and asked, "So what do they think is good and what is bad?"
Ling Yun was somewhat disheartened and said, "The gifts they brought included a piece of yellow fish maw weighing one pound, a three-foot-tall piece of pink coral, and, oh yeah, a bead the size of an egg. They said it was a clam pearl."
Su Nuan nodded, "They are all from the deep sea. They got these purely by luck."
Ling Yun continued, "They also specifically requested fish. What kind of fish do you think we should serve them?"
Su Nuan could see that Ling Yun was in a bad mood and didn't want to entertain him at all.
She smiled and said, "For freshwater fish, I'll use the ones in the space. As for deep-sea fish, I'll go to Blue Star to look for them."
Ling Yun was very nervous, "Are we going to Blue Star?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Hai Lan built a door. Open the door and you will reach Blue Star. No need to teleport."
Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "Then be careful, or I'll go with you."
Su Nuan asked, "Don't you have to entertain them?"
Ling Yun snorted coldly, "If you don't entertain them, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat them up."
"Also, they are not allowed to eat the fish in the space. They don't deserve it."
Su Nuan laughed, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Do you think they will come again next time?"
Ling Yun shook his head, "No, they won't live to wait for the next time."
As expected, these people offended Ling Yun badly, and he had no intention of letting them live long.
"Then it's nothing. Just think of it as giving them a good meal before they die."
"But don't be so quick. At least spread the word about the delicious food we have here, otherwise it will be a waste of food."
Ling Yun understood, his expression softened, and he smiled, "Nuan Nuan is really smart. I know what to do."
Su Nuan took Ling Yun's hand and said, "Then let's go in and ask Hai Lan if there is any good way to catch deep-sea fish."
There are abundant seafood on the blue planet, but the only worry is that there are no good fishing tools.
The two came to the space and saw Hai Lan lying leisurely in the courtyard.
He found that the two of them just glanced at him and ignored him.
Ling Yun was a little depressed. He couldn't afford to offend this guy who said people were not human beings. Now he had another identity, his brother-in-law, so he dared not offend him even more.
Su Liren walked in from outside carrying a basket of fruits. His eyes lit up when he saw Su Nuan, "Nuannuan."
Su Nuan trotted over and took Su Liren's arm, calling him affectionately, "Dad, we're being bullied."
Su Liren frowned, "Who bullied you?"
He now recognizes Ling Yun, so he is very protective of his own people.
Su Nuan said like a little girl complaining, "Dad, those people from the West Sea Country are so mean. They look down on us."
"They say that although we have a seaside fishing village, all we eat is rotten fish and shrimp, and there is nothing good."
"They even specifically asked for fish. This is clearly bullying us."
Su Liren narrowed his eyes, and after a few flashes of his eyes, he understood the interests involved.
He patted Su Nuan's arm and comforted her, "Don't worry, I know what they are thinking. Just tell me if you want dad to help you."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Dad still understands me."
Ling Yun then understood why his wife was acting so coquettishly. She wanted to coax Su Liren to go out and receive those people from the West Sea Kingdom.
The fact that Su Liren was able to reach the position of Shangshu in Yuan State was a result of his real talent and knowledge.
Of course, in the situation in Yuan State, if one did not use money to make connections, one would still feel that one's talent was not appreciated.
Ling Yun also smiled and said, "Dad, please go out and help take charge. We lack experience in receiving envoys from other countries."
Seeing Ling Yun's soft and sincere attitude, Su Liren didn't make things difficult for him. "That's not a problem. What position will you give me?"
Ling Yun said without hesitation: "Prime Minister."
Su Nuan doesn't care about these things, any identity is fine anyway.
Su Liren was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would become the prime minister directly.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Become the Prime Minister, and leave the position of Prime Minister to others to compete for."
Ling Yun nodded, "Okay, if Dad is willing, I'll give you the throne."
Su Liren was a little amused and helpless. He had lost his ambition a long time ago. This time he went out to help by serving the dishes just for his daughter's sake.
Life in the space is so wonderful, comfortable and free, you can eat whatever you want, and there is no need for intrigue.
Moreover, he feels calm now and doesn't feel lonely. Instead, he has a different kind of peace.
Su Nuan knew that Su Liren would never become the emperor. She glanced at Ling Yun and said, "What? You want to dump the mess on your father? That won't do. You can't be so unfilial."
"Even if you want to dump it on Dad, you have to wait until the situation is stable and there are no more troubles."
Ling Yun smiled bitterly. As long as one is an emperor and not a tyrant, how can one live a peaceful life?
But the current Four Kingdoms is indeed a mess, and anyone who is handed over to it will be exhausted.
Su Nuan asked, "Dad, how are we going to entertain those people? They specifically asked for fish."
"Xiao Yun thinks it's a waste to feed them the fish in the space, but we really can't afford the fish outside."
Su Liren thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "How many people are there in total?"
Ling Yun replied, "There were eight people at the banquet, and the most annoying of them were a pair of siblings."
"Based on their status, they are the prince and princess of the West Sea Kingdom, but they are definitely not favored in the West Sea Kingdom."
There is no need to explain this in detail, everyone understands it.
Su Nuan asked, "Are these two siblings the only ones that are difficult to deal with? What about the other four?"
Ling Yun continued, "The other four seem to be from two factions. The older one is very arrogant, but he and his followers were also disrespectful to the siblings."
"The other middle-aged man was reserved and cunning, but I could tell his attitude was sincere."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Are you interested in taking over the West Sea Kingdom?"
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan in surprise, "Are you so ambitious? If you want to take..."
"Now is not the time. When I become stronger, I will conquer any territory you want!"
