The White-haired Queen

Wen Lanyue was moved after hearing this, but still hesitated for a moment and said, "But, we still have no clue about the mineral resources. After we come up with a plan in the afternoon and things have some clues, we will tell Brother Bei Cangwang. This will also make him feel more at ease."

Bei Mingyu thought about it and felt that what Wen Lanyue said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But I'm really looking forward to seeing my brother's expression when he hears the news."

The two smiled at each other and continued walking forward, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future.

In the blink of an eye, it was already time for the afternoon court meeting. When Bei Mingyu and Wen Lanyue entered the palace, everyone was already there.

Wen Lanyue secretly used her "super six senses" to try to get a deeper insight into everyone's thoughts at the moment. This prying really shocked her. She was shocked to find that many ministers were afraid of taking responsibility, had no opinions of their own, and were just following the crowd and saying what others said. They were like wavering fence-sitters.

However, some ministers have their own unique views, just like the senior minister in the court this morning... Just as Wen Lanyue wanted to continue to explore their true thoughts, King Bei Cang suddenly said: "The main purpose of summoning you here today is to continue discussing the mineral issue. The mineral sales contract will be circulated in order, please read it first."

As soon as King Bei Cang finished speaking, the eunuch beside him quickly stepped forward and handed the contract respectfully to Bei Mingyu. While Bei Mingyu was looking down at the contract, King Bei Cang emphasized: "My dear ministers, please remember that I summoned you to the court today to solve the current problems. During this period, even if you offend others with your words, I will pardon your guilt. Please do not worry and speak freely."

Bei Mingyu flipped through the contract page by page. As he read deeper, his brows furrowed tightly, and his expression became more and more solemn. When he finally finished reading the contract from beginning to end, he let out a long breath and then handed it to Wen Lanyue beside him.

However, just as Wen Lanyue's fingers touched the contract, a loud noise suddenly came from the court.

Someone shouted loudly: "This court meeting is an internal affair of our Northern Cang country. As an envoy of the Shangxie country, Envoy Wen Zheng should not interfere in it!"

Then, another opposing voice sounded: "That's right, no matter what the outcome is, this is ultimately our own business in the Northern Cang Country, and has nothing to do with your Shangxie Country!"

Then, someone went on to say, "Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for Shangxie Country to inquire about our country's mineral resources. Now they want to participate in the court discussion, which is probably very inappropriate. I implore Your Majesty to think carefully about this!" For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wen Lanyue, with unfriendly expressions on their faces.

Wen Lanyue said nothing and without even looking through the contract in his hand, he handed it directly to the old minister this morning, and said with a humble smile: "You are experienced, please take a look at this contract first." After that, he returned to his original position, stood upright, as if he was deaf to the discussions around him, and just stared at King Beicang quietly.

King Bei Cang glanced at Bei Ming Yu and said, "Brother, since she is your invited guest, you should tell me the reason for inviting her."

Bei Mingyu nodded and responded, "As far as Yu Gong is concerned, she is our important partner. I believe you have all heard about the series of novel items launched by Shangxie Country, such as wall clocks, cement, bricks, glass, etc. These things are no longer rare in our country. Everyone here has more or less owned one or more of them. Let's not talk about those distant things. Just talk about the news I just got yesterday. Shangxie Country has invented a mountain bike that can replace horses! And all of this comes from the wisdom and talent of Envoy Wen in front of you..."

Bei Mingyu paused here deliberately, wanting to see the reaction of the people present. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a whisper came from the crowd.

"Since I got a wall clock at home, I can keep track of my working time more accurately. In the past, I always relied on a sundial or hourglass to tell time, which was sometimes unavoidable. Now, I can tell the exact time just by looking at the wall clock. It's really convenient."

"Yes, I went to see the school built by the Ministry of Industry at noon. The school was built with cement and bricks provided by Shangxie Country. It is very solid and has first-class wind and sandstorm resistance. Moreover, the windows in the classrooms are made of glass, which has good light transmittance, and the whole room looks exceptionally bright. Children will definitely study more attentively in such an environment."

"A mountain bike? What is that? Does it have four legs like a horse?" This question aroused everyone's interest, and everyone started to speculate...

Seeing this, Bei Mingyu smiled slightly and continued, "Don't be curious, everyone. When the time is right, mountain bikes will be popularized in our Beicang Country. I believe you will be full of praise and love them. Here, I want to emphasize again that Envoy Wen Zheng is not only an outstanding representative of Shangxie Country, but also a bridge of friendly cooperation between our two countries. I hope that in the days to come, we can work together to create a better future."

When Wen Lanyue heard Bei Mingyu talking about mountain bikes, she couldn't help but be stunned. You know, she herself had only just received the news about mountain bikes yesterday, and now Bei Mingyu actually knew about it, so other people must have heard about it too! Could it be that Lin Yuanzhi or Mo Pavilion Master made the mountain bikes public?

However, such an item that has not yet been mass-produced should not be easily made public. Could it be that no one knows how to ride it, and they don't know when she will return, so they specially sent it here? Wen Lanyue thought to herself, thinking that this possibility might be greater.

Bei Mingyu then said: "Personally speaking, once, when Lord Jiang Yuxuan returned from his first diplomatic mission to Shangxie Country, King Bei Cang asked me to go and discuss marriage. And she was the one I discussed marriage with at that time. Although the fate between us was a little shallow and we could not become husband and wife, we eventually became siblings..."

Before Bei Mingyu finished speaking, King Bei Cang suddenly stood up. His face was extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of anger in his voice that was difficult to conceal. He asked, "The marriage proposal failed. I have heard you mention this before. However, when did this brother and sister relationship happen?"
