After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng laughed out loud.

These foreigners are so interesting.

But Shangguan Ziqi didn't know what they were talking about, so he tugged at his wife's sleeve.

Yu Yuanzheng suppressed her laughter and translated it for him, and Shangguan Ziqi couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

"Qingfeng, buy a rooster for Mr. William, and then go to the embassy to teach him how to play cockfighting."

Shangguan Ziqi is very kind.

"Yes, Prince." Qingfeng replied with a smile.

He couldn't suppress his laughter. These foreigners were really ignorant.

No, the Crown Princess said that the cultural differences between the two countries are huge, so they find everything strange.

As soon as Yu Yuanzheng told William about Shangguan Ziqi's decision, William thanked her repeatedly.

William had only seen animal fighting, never cockfighting.

Beast fighting is too brutal, so it is not appropriate to take his wife to watch it. However, cockfighting is different. It is just two small animals, and women will not be afraid of it. He plans to buy a few chickens to fight for his wife and daughter when he returns to China.

They were originally planning to go to the palace in the afternoon, but seeing that the officials from the Ministry of Rites were simply unable to entertain these foreigners, Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi had to change their plans and go shopping with them first.

With Yu Yuanzheng as their guide and Shangguan Ziqi's familiarity with the streets, the group of foreigners enjoyed shopping even more.

I have to go into every shop to have a look.

"Princess, what is this?"

"This is a toy for children, called the Nine Rings Link."

"Your Highness, this is delicious. I've never eaten it before."

"This is called ci gao. It's made from a kind of sticky glutinous rice. After the rice is steamed, it's pounded repeatedly with a wooden stick. After it cools and hardens, it's fried and eaten with sauce."

"Your Highness, this vase is more beautiful than the one I wanted to buy just now."

"Yes, the porcelain of our Great Wei is the most exquisite artistic treasure in the world. You can buy some and bring it back to your country, and present this beautiful porcelain to your King."

"Your Highness, this is so beautiful. What is it used for?"

"This is a purse, used to hold change. Look, I have one hanging around my waist. The flowers on it are embroidered stitch by stitch, a unique craft of our Great Wei. This is the most brilliant wisdom of the women of our Great Wei."

"Oh my God. I'm going to take some back to my wife, my sisters, and all the women I know."

"No, men can use it too."

......

Yu Yuanzheng talked until her mouth was dry that afternoon. She also took the opportunity to teach them the Chinese names of various products.

After finally satisfying their curiosity and sending them back to the embassy, ​​it was almost dark.

Several children waited at home for the whole afternoon, all of them looking forward to it.

My parents just came back and I didn’t spend the next day with them.

"Mom, why didn't you wait for us to come back from school?" Sanbao looked so pitiful, with tears in his eyes, and he seemed to want to cry but couldn't, which made Yu Yuanzheng feel guilty.

"I'm sorry, darling. When you get home from school tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at the mansion," Yu Yuanzheng promised, hugging all three children.

"Mom, tomorrow is a day off, you have to stay with us for the whole day." Dabao snorted and made a request.

"Yes, Daddy will also accompany us for the whole day tomorrow." Erbao was not willing to be left behind.

"Okay, okay, tomorrow Daddy and Mommy will be with you all day."

The three children then smiled happily.

The next day, Shangguan Ziqi really did not go out and did not attend the morning court.

After waiting for the children to wake up and have breakfast, he took the mother and her two children into the palace.

I had originally planned to go to the palace yesterday afternoon, but the foreigners made a fool of me and I didn't go.

The prince went alone without making any fuss.

The family of five arrived at the imperial study in time for the morning court results.

The prince followed the emperor in directly.

The emperor was surprised to see that they actually brought the children with them.

However, the emperor was very happy because he hadn't seen these children for a long time.

The three children greeted the emperor in crisp voices and received great praise from the emperor, who gave each of them a small gift.

When the emperor saw Shangguanzi carrying a wooden box, he raised his eyebrows.

"Did Ziqi get something good and send it to me?"

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a good thing." Shangguan Ziqi did not keep the secret.

"Your Majesty, please excuse me for a moment." The prince said slowly.

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at several people.

What this meant was that he should send away all the servants, including his Dragon Shadow Guards.

Yu Yuanzheng asked Eunuch Hai to take the three children to play next door.

The three children were very sensible. They knew that the adults wanted to discuss something, so they followed Eunuch Hai out obediently.

Eunuch Hai found some toys for the children and stood by them diligently.

The two maids and the guard took the initiative to play with the children.

In the imperial study room.

Shangguan Ziqi took out the small iron box from the exquisite wooden box.

The emperor recognized her immediately and made a special visit during his stay at Prince Rong's mansion.

Yu Yuanzheng stepped forward and dialed the combination lock a few times, and the emperor heard a slight "click".

"It's open?" The emperor was still a little unconvinced.

He just suggested that Princess Zhenguo think carefully about the password the day before yesterday, and now he has completed the task just one day later?

Shangguan Ziqi nodded and made a gesture of invitation, asking the emperor to open it and read it himself.

The emperor was not polite and opened it himself.

The golden light that caught his eye startled him.

Could it be that the ancestor of Prince Rong's Mansion was also a money-loving person?

The emperor picked up the gold leaf, saw the words on it, and began to read.

Unlike Yu Yuanzheng and his wife, they looked at everything else first and then at the words on the gold leaves.

There aren't many words, and they're written quite large, so I finished reading it quickly.

At the end, he laughed out loud.

"Good, good, that's great. Princess Zhenguo is truly a blessing to the people of Wei, and also to me. In the entire Wei nation, only you can open it."

Next, the emperor opened the box containing the imperial seal.

When he saw this jade seal that he had never seen before, he let out a long sigh.

"When the Great Wei was first established, our ancestors sent people to various places to inquire about the whereabouts of the imperial seal of the previous dynasty. Unexpectedly, it was hidden by the grandmother of our ancestors' princess in the Rong Palace.

In the dark, everything is God's will.

The world was in chaos at the time, and no one remembered how many princes and princesses there were in the royal family of the previous dynasty.

In the later period of the previous dynasty, the emperor had many concubines and countless children, and he only knew how to enjoy himself, making the people live in dire straits.

Otherwise it wouldn't fall apart.

And this escaped princess, whoever she was, took away such a valuable item from the previous dynasty and hid it away.”

"Your Majesty, it is very likely that the princess is not in the palace at all, but outside the palace." Yu Yuanzheng guessed.

Since he was a hedonistic emperor, he probably left some offspring among the people. At the last moment, he gave such an important thing to her to hide, probably hoping that his descendants would be able to restore the country.

"You make sense." The emperor also thought of this possibility.

He went to compare his own seal with this one.

"Hongyi, the jade seal of the previous dynasty is more majestic and exquisite than the one of our Great Wei." The emperor was a little envious, and his eyes lingered on the jade seal for a long time.
