Seeing that the emperor approved the request, Paba couldn't help but look at Fang Zhengyi nervously.
Fighting is a small matter, but trade is a big matter!
Fang Zhengyi must not be offended because of Chi Lie's personal likes and dislikes.
This guy has background and connections.
Sixty thousand taels were just delivered to his house yesterday. What if this guy regrets doing the opposite?
Thinking of this, Paba couldn't help but worry again.
When Fang Zheng saw him looking at him, he immediately understood, nodded, and smiled at him.
Paba's anxious heart was relieved a little.
It seems that he still understands the overall situation and will not break up over such a small matter.
"Your Majesty! When I was accompanying Master Paba on a tour of the capital the other day, the master said that a warrior of Chilie could eat a whole cow in one meal."
"National Master! Am I remembering correctly?"
Papa was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, and said stiffly, "Yes...that's right."
Fang Zhengyi continued, "I hope I remember it correctly!"
"Although there are many delicious dishes at today's banquet, I'm afraid Chi Lie's appetite is not enough."
"But a cow is too big, and the strong man has eaten a lot just now."
"I suggest that we roast a lamb for him. If he returns hungry, the two envoys may think that we are not hospitable enough."
"I am also very curious. How can you eat a whole cow in one meal?"
Fang Zhengyi suddenly said this in a nonchalant manner.
Paba's face suddenly turned red!
I'm just bragging! Isn't that how you Jing people talk?
No matter how much Chi Lie eats, he can never eat a whole cow!
Are you just stupid or are you deliberately messing with me?
Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Oh? You are indeed the most courageous warrior on the grassland! No wonder you have such an amazing body size. I have only heard of you being able to eat a whole cow in one meal. I didn't expect that you would be by my side today."
"Okay! Someone, come! Roast a whole lamb for the Chilie warrior!"
Paba's eyes widened, and then he tugged at the corner of Chilie's clothes.
He whispered to Chilie: "Chilie, can you eat a sheep?"
Chi Lie, who didn't know the truth, looked down and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who can eat a sheep?!"
Paba swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile: "The Emperor of Jingguo roasted a sheep for you, you...try to finish it."
Chi Lie's eyes suddenly widened with anger: "What nonsense did you say to them! I can't eat a sheep!"
"Half a head...half a head is fine."
"You can't even eat half a head! Go eat it if you want!"
"It's about the Khan's reputation!"
Although Chi Lie didn't understand what others were saying, he understood a little after seeing Paba's reaction.
There is an 80% chance that I have been fooled, but since this is a matter of the Khan's face, I'll just eat the sheep!
Emperor Jing stared at Chi Lie and Paba with a smile.
The ministers in the palace were relieved.
That's right! That's right! This evil has finally been used in the right place.
It's not a real ability to always be a bully at home, but to bring harm to outsiders!
Half an hour later...the dinner finally came to an end with constant chatting.
Chi Lie lived up to everyone's expectations. Under the expectant gaze of the whole audience, he finished half a sheep, but finally he could not eat any more and his throat was almost full.
Not long after the show ended and they walked out of the hall, Chi Lie vomited in the square in front of the hall.
This caused people around to chuckle.
Paba patted Chilie's back with a bitter look on his face.
Why are you bragging about nothing?...
Fang Zhengyi walked up to him in a pretentious manner and patted Chi Lie on the back.
"Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay?"
"Master! Didn't you say he could eat a whole cow? How come he became like this after eating half a sheep?"
Pa Ba's face was uncertain, and he said with difficulty: "Chi Lie had eaten before he came."
Fang Zheng suddenly realized what was going on and took something out of his sleeve and handed it over: "So that's it! I have a plum here, it can help relieve the greasiness!"
"If you can't eat it, don't eat it! Why are you stuffing it into your mouth so hard!"
Paba's eyes twitched twice, and he changed the subject: "Brother Fang, I didn't expect Zhang Biao was your man. The matter of fighting with Chi Lie..."
Fang Zhengyi looked regretful when he heard this: "It's okay! If Chi Lie wants to compete, then let him! Zhang Biao is no match for him. Since His Majesty has this intention, I can't do anything... Master, this matter will not affect our relationship. After all, state affairs are more important than face!"
Pa Ba felt relieved and bowed: "Thank you, Brother Fang."
"You are being so polite! You are being so polite! We are brothers after taking a bath together in Dajing. Why are you being so polite to me?"
Paba is so sad that he wants to cry. You almost made his other buddy’s stomach explode!
While the two were talking, Guo Tianyang walked over from a distance.
Fang Zheng had a sharp look, and when he saw him he immediately shouted: "Brother Guo! Brother Guo!"
Paba's eyes lit up!
Brother Guo? Is there anyone who considers a eunuch as his brother? It seems that these two have a really good relationship! The guy surnamed Fang didn't lie to me.
Guo Tianyang, who was far away, heard this and saw Paba's face frown.
There are outsiders here, why are you shouting?
But since he had already been called, Guo Tianyang had no choice but to step forward.
"Greetings to the Imperial Master, Lord Fang. His Majesty has summoned you."
Fang Zheng nodded slightly, and in front of Paba, he grabbed Guo Tianyang's sleeve and stuffed two silver bills into it.
Then he winked at Padma and turned away.
Guo Tianyang and Paba were left staring at each other.
.........
In the imperial study.
Emperor Jing and Fang Zheng sat opposite each other.
There was a cup of tea in front of each of them. Emperor Jing took a sip and said, "Fang Qing, have you prepared the list of gifts for this return gift?"
"It's ready. Five carts of high-quality Tianxian tea, two boxes of glass... diamonds, a Heart of the Ocean blue diamond, and..."
"However, I have not brought the gift list with me. I will deliver it to Your Majesty tomorrow."
Emperor Jing smiled and said, "How much silver did we spend in total? This money has been paid from the treasury. You have saved me hundreds of thousands of taels. There is no reason for you to pay more."
"Your Majesty's affairs are the affairs of the ministers. Your Majesty is too polite!"
Your family affairs are my family affairs! Although I spent a few hundred taels to add variety, that little money is nothing!
Emperor Jing glanced at him and said calmly: "You have done a great service to me in this matter!"
"However...you entered the Mingluan Palace privately, so your merits and demerits are offset!"
“?!”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Zheng's head started buzzing.
My date with the princess was being spied on?
The emperor discovered that I was having an affair with the princess?
That's not right! The maids clearly turned their backs on her that day! Damn it, who is it!
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty knew about my treatment of the princess."
"Don't bother with the diagnosis! I have already asked the imperial physician to examine Miaohan, and she is in good health."
Emperor Jing stared at him calmly.
Are you going to see a doctor? I don't even want to point it out to you!
"Okay, let's not talk about this. The main reason I asked you to come this time is because of the prince."
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Proposing marriage to the emperor....still a little short of the right time...
