No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Li Cheng is seventeen years old this year. He has the charm of a young boy and is indeed a man of great appearance.

Generally speaking, men of this age have already married, or at least have an arranged marriage.

However, the eldest prince Li Yun was bullied in the palace fights in his early years and even witnessed the murder of his mother Zhang. He was suspicious and perverted by nature.

Li Cheng's maternal family, the Cui family, was already powerful, and he was afraid that his younger brother would marry a powerful wife and threaten his position again.

But he couldn't interfere and marry him off to a woman from a humble family, so he could only suppress him and not let him discuss marriage.

At this age, Li Cheng was full of anger, but he could not find a way out.

This time he tried every possible means to come to the Qing Dynasty as an envoy, not only to complete his mission and gain merit, but also to hope to marry a wife in the Qing Dynasty.

It would be best if it was a princess or a county lord. If that's not possible, a high-ranking official or a noble lady would also be fine. As long as she can break free from the suppression of the eldest brother and take a breath, that would be enough.

Thinking of the bad things happening in China, Li Cheng felt that the delicious food in front of him had lost its taste.

God knows, when he first arrived in the Qing Dynasty, he was as happy as a child when he ate these delicacies.

After all, the only food they had in Goguryeo was kimchi and pickled radish. After a state banquet, they would have to drink a belly full of water when they got home.

Even so, his eldest brother often bullied others and prevented them from eating more.

Haha, it was only when I arrived in the Qing Dynasty that I realized that my previous days were lived in vain!

If he hadn't been concerned about his mother still being in the country, he would have found a way to stay in the Qing Dynasty and become a son-in-law.

Li Cheng's mind was in a mess and he didn't dare to look around. He could only listen to the Japanese country in front of him starting to pay annual tribute.

Princess Shizuko had a veil on her face and was walking forward slowly, taking small steps.

Finally I arrived at the center of the hall and began... introducing myself.

Her voice was delicate and soft. After she introduced herself softly, she stood there looking at His Majesty.

Lin Mingyan almost lost her composure when she heard this, and showed the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

Li Cheng was listening attentively, wanting to compare with Japan to see which country's tribute was better.

After Princess Shizuka introduced herself, she shut up and stopped talking.

Ok?

What's going on?

Is this gone?

Could it be that Japan entered the Qing Dynasty empty-handed?

and many more!

Could she be... a tribute?

Li Cheng was struck by the soul - you Japanese are so stingy! ! !

He stared at the Fourth Master with burning eyes, thinking that if the emperor agreed, he would also include himself in the tribute.

Anyway, it would be nice to just pair him with a good guy!

Princess Shizuko didn't expect that the move she had just made was completely imitated by Goguryeo behind her.

She was confident in her beauty, and since men liked novelty, she deliberately wore a veil.

After all, only when a man is interested in you can a woman take the initiative.

Her eyes, now exposed, were staring at the Fourth Master timidly like a little deer.

Fourth Master - a bit disgusting.

He gave Su Peisheng a sharp look, and Su Peisheng immediately understood: "Where is the tribute list from Japan? Why hasn't anyone presented it yet?"

Since you don't accept tribute, then you must have drawn up a gift list, right?

Princess Shizuko almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, thinking that this eunuch was so annoying.

You clearly know that she is the tribute, but you have to force her to say it out loud in public?

She bit her lip lightly but still didn't speak.

Su Peisheng was annoyed: "Didn't Japan pay tribute?"

Really!

A princess from a small country actually ignored his words?

Princess Shizuka had no choice but to speak softly: "This princess is a tribute from our country..."

When she introduced herself, she couldn't say that she was the most beautiful person in their country.

I can only say this dryly.

Everyone was in an uproar, and even Li Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

Fortunately, Yaliqi also laughed out loud.

Yaliqi's laughter was so loud that it drowned out his voice.

Yaliqi also spoke first: "Your Highness... Princess, my emperor father has no shortage of daughters!"

Hum hum.

If I tell you Japanese that you have bad intentions, I will make you lose face.

Yaliqi said something naughty and went to find the person who laughed at the same time as her.

He immediately noticed Li Cheng, whose smile was still on his face, raised his eyebrows at him and gave him a look that said, "You're smart."

Even though Li Cheng didn't know Yaliqi, he knew she was a princess when he saw her sitting there.

I could only smile awkwardly, not daring to move, not at all.

Princess Shizuka blushed, and her native language came out in grievance: "Su Ming Ma Sai, I..."

"I'm afraid Japan is very dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty!" A minister began to stir up trouble. "They haven't even properly prepared the annual tribute. They are truly rebellious!"

"No...nothing!" Princess Shizuko was anxious.

She no longer cared about the mystery and pulled the veil off.

What one imagines should be a scene that will captivate everyone and even amaze everyone present.

This scene was originally meant to be seen by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty alone, but now it has benefited the other stinky men present!

There were indeed sounds of people gasping for breath, but that was not because of amazement, but because of surprise!

"How dare you! How dare you meet His Majesty in such an untidy manner!" Su Peisheng immediately stood in front of the Fourth Master, blocking his view.

He also shouted to the guards on both sides: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

Rendong also stood in front of Lin Mingyan, fearing that she would be scared.

The Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan looked at each other and saw the speechless look in each other's eyes.

To be honest, Princess Shizuko is not ugly.

But his face was large and covered with thick powder, and it looked pale at first glance.

Her lips were painted into a cherry shape, and the bright red color was very conspicuous on the white face.

If this suddenly appears in front of children, it will definitely scare them and give them nightmares at night.

Princess Shizuka suddenly pulled off her veil, which created the effect of a surprise attack, didn't it?

"Take her away, take her away," the Fourth Master said impatiently. "The Japanese princess has been disrespectful in front of the palace, and the delegation is not in a good position to prepare the annual tribute. Let's handle it according to the rules."

These two charges combined amount to contempt for the dignity of the Qing Dynasty.

The entire delegation had to be beaten with sticks, and even after that, people from Japan had to pay money to redeem them.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty was losing money from paying tribute every year. It received tribute but had to give back even more.

Now the Japanese were beaten and had to pay compensation, and in the end they got no reward at all.

Lin Mingyan's greed was satisfied, and she felt so happy that she even scooped two spoonfuls of cherry sweet and sour pork and ate it with a smile on her face.

Li Cheng felt nervous, thinking that the idea of paying tribute to him was a complete failure. Fortunately, he had not followed the same idea yet.

so close!
