"Oh, by the way, we haven't finished the topic just now, so let's not waste it... Well, Miss Baozhu is accompanying us. I believe Sister Xishan will take good care of us, don't you think, Sister Xishan?"
Princess Xishan naturally nodded in agreement happily. She really liked to save Bai Baozhu's face.
In fact, Fengming mentioned Xishan because this princess was indeed a very kind person. Xishan was younger than Xinwu, but older than Fengming. She was Xinwu's little sister in the Dongyao Palace at that time. The two had always had a very good relationship. After hearing about the accident of the Xin family, Xishan cried for several times. Every year on Xinwu's "memorial day", she would burn paper money and gold ingots, and she missed him very much.
As for the source of the information he heard, Fengming didn't know either. Anyway, Ye Xuwen reported it last night when he mentioned entering the Dongyao Palace. The investigation methods of their National Security Bureau were really amazing.
"Hahaha, well done, Xishan, you must take good care of Her Royal Highness the Princess. If you need anything, just tell your mother. You must take good care of the Princess."
King Dong Yao, who had been watching their conversation, came out happily to show his presence when the dust settled. After all, men and women are different, and he values Sheng Jicheng more. Although the queen values Bai Baozhu, in his opinion, Bai Baozhu is not his daughter after all. Now that his own daughter is valued and praised, he is still happy.
"Yes, my daughter will take good care of the eldest princess."
"Hahaha, very good, very good, not bad!"
King Dongyao laughed again. When the fat old man laughed, it was really - a little festive.
Feng Xiyun was a little impatient. In the beginning, he didn't like socializing with those ministers who loved to speak in official language when he was in Daqing. Even when facing Feng Ming's father, the emperor, and his uncle, he was as friendly as ordinary people and would never use official language to flatter others.
Seeing that they seemed to have finished their conversation, the impatient Feng Xiyun quickly raised his voice and interrupted, forcefully bringing the topic to his side.
"Your Majesty, my sister is accompanied by someone. Why don't you find someone to accompany me on the tour? I've heard that General Mu Yun of your country has designed a new crossbow with a long range and high accuracy. It's very powerful. Xi Yun has admired it for a long time and really wants to see it for himself."
"Xiyun, why are you so loud?" Feng Ming pretended to scold Feng Xiyun, then put on a somewhat apologetic smile, but it was obvious that he would not allow others to blame his child. "Don't blame me, Your Majesty. Xiyun is a bit carefree by nature, and he still has the mentality of a child."
"Haha, no wonder."
In fact, the idea of looking at weapons was discussed with Feng Xiyun in advance. Firstly, Fengming and Yuyun are girls, and it is not in line with their personalities for them to look at weapons. So Feng Xiyun suggested it, one, it was in line with their personalities, and two, he happened to be interested in it, which was just perfect.
Secondly, this weapon is indeed the information they want to know. It is said that Sheng Jicheng was able to achieve so many military exploits because the use of this weapon greatly reduced the number of injuries and deaths among Dongyao soldiers. It is considered a powerful weapon. The generals including the Sixth Prince are very interested in this, but unfortunately they have never found a chance to get one. Now it is just the opportunity to see it for themselves.
"How about this, this weapon was invented by Ji Cheng. During this time, let Ji Cheng accompany the young prince on his tour of Ming City."
This King Dongyao is indeed as stupid as the intelligence said. He has no idea about intellectual property protection at all. That's great.
Feng Ming was thinking whether to let Feng Xiyun contact Sheng Jicheng. What if the information was obtained by someone else?
"That's not good. General Sheng still has to prepare for the wedding. It's a big deal. How can we delay it just for Xi Yun's little request?"
"Well, the princess is absolutely right. Then..."
King Dongyao then realized that Sheng Jicheng was going to get married, and it seemed a bit wrong to send him as a reception officer. What should he do?
"Your Majesty, my servants will take care of my wedding. Since the young prince has requested it, I will do my best to complete it."
Sheng Jicheng stood up, looking very righteous, and with his handsome face, the people who didn't know the truth were easily deceived.
"Oh, that's not good. It makes me look so bad. How about this? I'll ask General Sheng to take me to see your country's magic weapons and crossbows. As for the tour, Your Majesty can send someone else."
Several of the seated princes were eager to join Feng Xiyun. They had to understand that Dongyao was now a vassal state of Daqing. While Daqing generally wouldn't interfere in the affairs of other kingdoms, building a good relationship with Daqing's young princes and princesses would be a significant boost to their future succession to the throne.
King Dong Yao thought for a moment and felt that Feng Xiyun's suggestion was a good one. He glanced at his sons and felt a little dissatisfied and regretful, "Oh, each of them looks like Ji Cheng, why is Ji Cheng not my son?"
Finally, King Dongyao asked the third prince, who was of the same age as Feng Xiyun, to accompany him.
The Third Prince wasn't the Queen's son, but rather the offspring of an ordinary concubine. Perhaps because of this, he seemed a bit timid and petty, lacking the commanding presence of Feng Xiyun. He had the typical Dong Yao look, standing about 1.7 meters tall, with above-average looks. He was indeed several notches below Sheng Jicheng, but at least he seemed kind and likely not someone prone to troublemaking.
When the other princes saw that the third prince was chosen to be the tour guide, they felt a little regretful but at the same time they all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the third prince did not have much competitiveness to be the crown prince.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Fengming handed King Dongyao a business-promoting letter written by his father to him before coming. Then, accompanied by Queen Bai Baozhu and the princesses, he visited the garden of the Dongyao Palace. After another round of business-promoting, it was finally time for lunch.
When the envoy came to visit in the morning, he said that he wanted to invite Fengming, Fengxiyun, Fengyuyun and others to have a meal in the palace to welcome them and show off Dongyao's face.
Fengming was still looking forward to having something delicious, but it turned out to be the traditional Dongyao fare, such as sukiyaki, rice cakes, kimchi, ramen, etc. Fortunately, the taste was not bad.
After lunch, the queen pretended to let Fengming and the others stay in the palace, but how could Fengming agree? Wouldn't living here mean she would be under constant surveillance? How could she communicate with Su Wei and the others? How could she kiss, hug, and hold her beloved Tunan high in the air?
In the end, Fengming and his companions were arranged to stay in the highest-standard guesthouse, right next to the royal palace, so that they could enter the palace at any time.
So they spent the whole afternoon settled in the guesthouse accompanied by Princess Xishan. After all, they said they would stay here until after Sheng Jicheng's wedding, which would mean at least more than twenty days. They still had to arrange their lives well and not let themselves down.
However, when it comes to arrangements, it was actually Bi Chun and Xishan's people who did it. Fengming was responsible for getting close to Xishan and building a relationship with him, and he also learned a lot of palace secrets.
