As soon as the box was opened, all kinds of exquisite jewelry and ornaments came into view. Upon closer inspection, they were all made of sea shells.
Those shells glowed brightly under the sunlight, and were colorful and very beautiful.
"Empress! Our Emperor has long heard that the Empress of Daqian is as beautiful as a fairy and has a deep relationship with His Majesty. Therefore, in addition to the state gifts, he has also prepared this box of gifts!"
"I wanted to find an opportunity to present it to the Empress yesterday, but I saw that the other envoys hadn't prepared anything, and I didn't want them to lose face in public, so I thought of presenting it to the Empress today. I hope the Empress will appreciate this kind gesture from our Emperor."
"Everything here is unique, fished from the deep sea! Pick up a shell and smell it. Can you still smell the sea?"
The envoys from other countries all looked disdainful.
Especially the envoy from Liang State, the sarcasm on his face was not concealed at all.
"Ha! You Japanese are really interesting. How come you have so many unique things?"
"Last year, when I presented it to the State of Liang, I said the same thing."
“I don’t know which one is true and which one is false.”
The Japanese envoy was so humiliated, but his smile remained undimmed. "Envoy from Liang! You must be joking. Everything in the deep sea is unique. We are not wrong!"
"You can't refuse us the opportunity to present gifts to the esteemed Empress just because you haven't prepared anything yourself!"
"It's said that Liang is a great country that values etiquette, but why is it so weird now?"
The Liang envoy's face flushed with anger, "You..."
"Ha! You think you no longer need the protection of our Liang State now that you have found a new master."
"Don't forget, among all the countries present here, only your country, Japan, has repeatedly harassed the Qian Kingdom on the border. You are truly committing all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities!"
"Giving gifts and saying nice things, you guys are really good at it. If you have the ability, you should control the people under you!"
The Japanese envoy immediately put on a pitiful look, "We Japanese people have a hard time living and can't survive. We want to find ways to survive on our own, but we can't do anything about it!"
"I can only say that His Majesty and the Empress of Qian have managed the country so well. The people are prosperous and well-off, and we are very envious of them."
"However, whatever we do in Japan, we do it openly and honestly. Unlike some countries, they always send spies to secretly explore secrets, make small moves, and even look down on the Empress and speak nonsense at palace banquets."
The Liang envoys were really shocked by the shamelessness of the Japanese.
"That's not what you said when you sought asylum in your country. You clearly said you coveted Daqian and wanted to take the opportunity to annex it."
The Japanese envoy looked at Yu Ruyue with a smile, "Empress, this is all a misunderstanding. You know we live on an island, and supplies are extremely scarce. If you can give the city bordering our country to His Majesty the Emperor, I promise that no one will harass your people in the future."
"And don't worry, this land still belongs to your Qian Kingdom. We are just using it and saving the people in this city!"
Yu Ruyue was so angry that she laughed. She didn't say anything because she wanted to see if this Japan was the same as the one she remembered.
But now, after hearing the envoy's words, she confirmed her guess that only the Japanese could be such a scoundrel.
They allowed their own people to harass the border of Daqian State, yet they could say so with such a straight face, and even shamelessly asked me to give that city to them, and called it saving the people of that city!?
Isn't this an invasion? It's exactly the same as those little days!
Only this country can describe invasion as salvation.
Ah!
And this box of shell products is also ridiculous.
Do they think they have never been to the beach and don’t know that these things are all over the beach after the tide rises and falls?
You actually want to bribe her with such a small amount of money?!
The Japanese envoy had no idea what Yu Ruyue was thinking. He only saw her staring at the box of shells with a smile on her face. He thought to himself that Yu Ruyue was indeed a harem girl who had never seen the world. Just picking up some shells and bewitching this woman made her dizzy. It seemed that the matter of the city had been settled...
He rolled his eyes again and again, and then beckoned to the person following behind him. The person was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out another well-packaged small box from his sleeve carefully and handed it over.
The Japanese envoy smiled and said, "Empress! Our Emperor has a special gift for you."
"This item was gifted by the gods. When the gods descended to earth, the stars in the sky continuously shone with colorful lights, and countless divine birds flew and chirped around the residence of His Majesty the Emperor. The gods held this item in their hands, stepped on the colorful lights, and walked step by step to the front of His Majesty the Emperor, solemnly entrusting this item to him. This is the only one in the world!"
"It is so precious that even our Emperor was reluctant to use it, so he asked us to give it to you specifically to strengthen the friendship between our two countries."
Yu Ruyue suppressed her anger and took the box. She wanted to see what this thing that was praised so highly was!
When he opened the box, he saw a palm-sized mirror lying quietly inside. The mirror just happened to reflect Yu Ruyue's indescribable expression...
If the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War had not put all their efforts into making cannons, crossbows and muskets, glass cement would have been produced long ago according to the recipe she gave.
Naturally, this mirror has long been popular throughout the country. There is no need to look at the Japanese soldier holding such a small mirror and showing off, saying that it was a gift from God. He is simply fooling her!
The Japanese envoy looked at her stunned expression and thought, it seems that he can't control such a young girl who has never seen the world!
When the people around saw Yu Ruyue staring at the small box in her hand for a long time without saying a word, they all thought that Yu Ruyue was shocked, so they all stretched their necks to see what was inside the box.
When everyone saw the little thing that reflected their faces clearly, their first reaction was to shrink their heads in fear, thinking that this thing was a monster that could capture souls.
Seeing these people so timid, the Japanese envoy sneered, "My Lords! Why do you look so frightened? This is a divine object sent by God. It is nothing like the strange thing you imagine in your minds."
"Huh! You're truly worldly-wise! The Empress of Daqian is still truly formidable!"
An An and Ning Ning, who were standing nearby, were also attracted by this miraculous thing. The two children stuck out their little heads, took a look, and instantly revealed a very confused expression!
Ning Ning asked directly: "Brother! This thing looks so familiar. Why is it so similar to the mirror I broke a few days ago?"
