Is my wife farming today?

Feng Qinglan smiled when she heard this, and gave the order with a wave of her hand.

"Go, pass the order from me, and send a few smart guards to follow the new bride to find the three lost gifts."

Hearing this, Xie Xie narrowed his narrow eyes.

She stared at Feng Qinglan's face, which was always disguised with a smile, and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

She turned and left.

After entrusting the imperial guards to Zhou Wenxi and Jiang You, he returned to the banquet alone.

Although Xie Shen said nothing, he could see every move of the refusal.

The banquet is coming to an end.

It’s time for the Rizhao Kingdom to present gifts soon. According to the ritual system in previous years, the Rizhao Kingdom’s envoys will be ordered to present a batch of tribute gifts from their own countries. Due to the vast territory and rich products, most of the treasures presented by the Rizhao Kingdom are not available in the Jiyue Kingdom. It is something that has never been seen before, so during this link, the envoys from the two countries often discuss the matter and make oral arguments.

Jiyue, on the other hand, suffered many setbacks in this link and never won.

Jiang Jing just finished speaking.

Jiang Han lowered his voice and asked puzzledly: "Is it because the people in Rizhao Kingdom are more articulate than us?"

He refused to smile when he heard it, and thought to himself that Jiang Wulang was really loved by the great farmer as the outside world said, otherwise how could he have been raised so delicately and innocently.

Da Sinong paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "You made the second lady laugh."

He declined and lowered his head, "I don't dare. I just think what Mr. Ling said is really cute."

Although Jiang Han was wearing a veil, his cheeks turned red because of these words and he lowered his head. He only dared to listen and no longer dared to ask random questions.

Da Sinong didn't really blame her, and he knew that she wasn't sarcastic.

The marriage between the two families has been decided, and they will become the in-laws from now on, so they should have more contact with each other.

Moreover, Jiang Jing was also worried that given Jiang Han's character and lack of contact with the outside world, there was no guarantee that she would not suffer some hardships after marrying into the General's Mansion.

It turned out that she had heard rumors that the second young lady of the Xie family refused to be criticized for being a promiscuous person and behaved badly. She was so worried that she did not say anything about it, and she almost refused to marry the Xie family because of this.

But Xie Shen paid a visit in person, with thorough etiquette and solemn attitude. Jiang Jing really couldn't fault the Xie family.

After Xie Shen left that day, Jiang Han wisely saw his mother's dilemma.

He also took the initiative to comfort Jiang Jing and said that he was willing to marry into the Xie family.

General Xie was loyal and courageous. He fought thousands of miles for Ji Yue throughout his life and treated the Jiang family with such courtesy. He had no reason not to marry her.

Moreover, before that, he had read the poem written by Xie Xie from the lotus banquet in the palace.

Between the lines, the writing is desolate and generous, sad yet powerful, which shows the poet's heroic and broad-minded mind.

"Mother is worried that Miss Xie's bad reputation will inevitably affect her children in the future?" Jiang Han asked.

Jiang Jing nodded, "Exactly."

Jiang Han took out the poem he copied and read it aloud.

Jiang Jing was greatly shocked and asked hurriedly: "Well written! Did you write the poem?"

Jiang Han shook his head and said, "Mother, this is a poem written by Miss Xie at the lotus banquet hosted by Her Royal Highness. Although I have never seen this Miss Xie, I firmly believe that anyone who can write such a poem is absolutely incredible. It's not as frivolous and deceitful as people say, so I am willing to marry Xie Hong."

"But Xie Hong is different from Xie Xie. He has been in the military camp for many years. He may be reckless. I am worried about you for my mother..."

"Don't worry, mother, the child is not as weak as you think."

After some assurances and comfort, Jiang Jing agreed to the marriage.

However, just a few days ago, Jiang Jing once again heard from Jiang Han about the poetry meeting held in Kyoto. She also learned that Xie Rui composed three amazing poems in a row during the time of three sticks of incense. It dampened the spirit of Rizhao Country. That's why I wanted to come and see for myself what the legendary Xie Jue looked like, and whether his talents were as exaggerated as Han'er boasted.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jing felt a little regretful when she happened to be away from home and had something to do.

Unexpectedly, I would meet her today, so I couldn't help but secretly observe Xie Xu's every move. I saw that she behaved gracefully and did not look sideways, which was not what the rumors said.

Jiang Jing even felt a little regretful in her heart.

He secretly thought that if Haner had refused, it might have been a good choice, but it was a pity, a pity.

Naturally, Xiexie didn't know that his small gesture could trigger so many associations between Jiang Jing and her son.

He just saluted and then looked away.

Immediately afterwards, the palace attendants took graceful lotus steps and prepared to remove the dishes from the table.

One of the palace attendants accidentally spilled a few drops of the soup because he took one more look at her, and it splashed on her crimson cuffs, causing a spot of oil to spread quickly.

"Ah!" The palace attendant took out a handkerchief with the fragrance of makeup and powder to wipe it with. He declined with a smile and said, "Nothing, just keep cleaning up."

When the palace attendant saw that she had such a good temper, he couldn't help but take a sneak peek again. It was a good thing not to look. When he saw that her cheeks were red, she couldn't even tell whether to step her left foot or her right foot first. She stumbled and raised her head. Leave with the dishes.

Decline didn't take this little episode to heart at all.

Little did he know that all this was being seen by those who were interested.

Feng Qingcheng was dressed gorgeously today and was sitting on the second seat to the left of the Queen. He was currently staring at the palace attendant who was passing the dishes, his hands in his sleeves were holding the handkerchief, and his finger bones turned white.

"Go and call those who have just been handed the dishes and who have refused to seduce me to Qinghuan Palace for me!" Feng Qingcheng ordered with jealousy in his eyes.

"Yes."

……

The tribute begins.

Nearly twenty waiters from Rizhao Kingdom each held a tray covered with red cloth in their arms and slowly walked into the inner hall.

"We pay homage to the King of Jiyue Kingdom, long live long live!" The leader put his hand on his chest, gave a sunrise salute, and loudly announced.

"No gift."

"In the name of our emperor, our country has specially prepared eighteen precious tributes to offer." As he said that, the waitresses with their curly hair tied in double ponytails and hanging down their necks stood still and lined up in three rows.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the leading messenger in an instant.

I saw him shouting while lifting the red cloth covering the gift, "The first tribute - cold melon."

On the wooden tray, a large green watermelon covered with waterweed-like stripes comes into view.

Decline subconsciously sighed: "Watermelon!"

Xie Shen heard the sound and asked, "What? Do you recognize this thing?"

More than recognition!

I used to eat it every day!

Jiang Jing also heard the conversation between their mother and daughter and raised her eyes, "What is a watermelon?"

Declined: "Watermelon is just like cold melon, it's just called differently."

"So, the second lady really knows this thing? Do you know what this thing is used for?" Jiang Jing asked curiously when she saw the strange shape of the cold melon.

Xie Xie thought it was a deliberate test on her, so he told her exactly how to eat watermelon and what its use was.

After saying that, I saw the envoy from Rizhao Kingdom ordering someone to bring a long shining silver knife.

With a "swish" sound, the melon was cut into half.
