Chapter 700
The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet has already begun, and the invited officials all brought their families to their seats.

Su Limo was also among them, and she was sitting next to Chen Yajing. After she passed by, the envoys of Dongyang Kingdom, Nanrui Kingdom, and Wa Kingdom sat in turn.

The Japanese envoys also brought twenty crabs when they visited Yunmeng.

He was complacently saying to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this year we have a bumper harvest of crabs in Japan, and the size is about double that of previous years. Our emperor specially asked me to bring some twenty of the largest ones for you to taste. Please accept it."

As he spoke, his envoy brought over a large and exquisite box.

The box was made of wood. After opening the box, there were twenty crabs about the size of a fist lying inside.

The Japanese envoy deliberately wanted to show off. When he opened the box, he deliberately tilted the box so that everyone present could see what the crab inside looked like.

Most of the officials and family members present had seen the crabs brought in as tribute from the Wa Kingdom in the past years. Now that they saw so many crabs with such a large head, they all gasped and showed envious eyes.

It would be great if they could eat this crab.

Chen Yajing leaned close to Su Limo's ear and whispered: "This crab is indeed twice as big as last year, and it is also twice as large as last year, but compared with your crabs, it is still far behind. , They are also really, stingy to death, wanting to maintain the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but they only sent twenty such small crabs."

If it had been last year, Chen Yajing would have thought that the crab was really big, and she would definitely be able to get a whole of twenty crabs, but this year, after eating the crabs given by Su Limo, she didn't like the crabs. Twenty small crabs are completely despised.

Su Limo nodded: "Well, it's really a little small."

These crabs are at most in twos or threes, compared to the crabs in her space that are at least half a catty, they are really too weak.

When the Japanese envoys went to Yunmeng country this year, their third princess also came and sat at a table next to Su Limo.

The third princess's name is Tranquility Ya, she is fourteen years old, a few months older than Su Limo, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her hearing is better than ordinary people.

Although Chen Yajing and Su Limo spoke in a low voice, they couldn't escape her ears.

He even dared to say that the crabs sent from their country were few and small, and Tranquility was so angry that his face turned black.

It is true that Wa country has received more crabs this year than last year, but most of them are small crabs. I don’t know what happened. Not many grow into big crabs. The twenty crabs they are paying tribute to the King of Yunmeng Kingdom are already is the best and the biggest.

Even as the third princess of the Wa Kingdom, she couldn't eat such good crabs.

But how dare these two women...

She would like to see if they look down on their crabs so much, if they can come up with better things.

Just when she was about to speak, the guard behind her said via voice transmission: "Princess, remember our purpose, the person who spoke just now was the third concubine of Yunmeng Kingdom, not someone we can afford to offend."

"But……"

Tranquility gritted her teeth, hesitated for a while, and finally glared at Su Limo and Chen Yajing resentfully.

She endured.

Their Wa country is a small country, and they can only rely on the power of Yunmeng country if they want to become powerful. They came here this time to discuss rice planting technology with Yunmeng country.

If their country's rice yield can reach more than [-] catties per mu, no one will dare to underestimate them.

"Master, the guard behind the third princess of the Wa Kingdom looks extraordinary in martial arts, and he can use sound transmission to enter secrets."

When Tranquility was talking to the guards, Xiaobai had already noticed the fluctuations in the air and said.

Voice transmission refers to the ability to transmit one's own words to a certain person or multiple people through internal control, but other people cannot hear them.

To do this, the requirements for internal strength are very high.

According to Ling Moxuan, apart from him and Su Limo, there should be no more than five people in Yunmeng Country who can do it.

Su Limo heard it too, and she quietly followed the movements of the guard and the three princesses of the Wa Kingdom.

Wa country has the same name as a modern developed country, so she doesn't like the people of Wa country, especially she also noticed the hostility towards her from Ning Jingya just now.

She wanted to see what they wanted to do when they came to Yunmeng Country.

"Go back for me and thank your emperor."

The emperor smiled meaningfully and asked someone to take the crab sent by the Japanese envoy.

Starting with the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, the envoys of Dongyang Kingdom and Nanrui Kingdom also sent things prepared by their countries.

Nanrui Kingdom sent some rare gems and the like, while Dongyang Kingdom presented some rare cloths, and the emperor asked people to accept them one by one.

The banquet officially started.

One by one, the maids lined up to bring in the dishes that had been prepared in the imperial dining room. The dishes that were just brought in were all dishes that would appear in palace banquets in previous years.

The crab was served last.

Before the crabs came up, the queen said: "Thanks to the county lord of Chang'an for sending me such a good thing this year, I will let someone bring it for everyone to taste later."

When they heard that even the queen said it was a good thing, everyone was full of anticipation for the dishes to be served later.

What could it be that would make the empress say so.

Soon, a hundred court ladies came in with a large delicate plate, on which ten steamed hairy crabs were placed neatly and neatly.

The size of the hairy crab was more than double the size of the twenty crabs they saw just now, and this number, at least a thousand, was completely better than the number of crabs sent by the Japanese envoy just now.

"It's really a good thing, thank you Empress Empress, thank you Chang'an County Lord, I didn't expect that we could also eat such good things."

"Yeah, this crab looks really good. I wanted to try it last year, but I didn't expect to have a chance. Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress, and County Lord Chang'an."

……

When they saw hairy crabs, most of the officials turned on the flattering mode.

At the same time, they all looked at the Japanese envoy with proud eyes.

Didn't it mean that the crabs were not easy to feed and were hard to come by? Didn't they mean that the twenty largest and best crabs were given to the king of Yunmeng Kingdom?

It's been slapped in the face now.

Didn't they see that Yunmengguo could casually come up with a thousand crabs that were bigger and better than them?

"Everyone eat as much as you want. If you still feel unsatisfied after eating, you can go to Chang'an County Lord to buy it. Chang'an County Lord dug a pond, and there are a lot of crabs in it... By the way, Chang'an County Lord said that this is called a hairy crab... ..."

The emperor was in a good mood, and he condescended to advertise for Su Limo.
