The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 243
Not only Ling Ao, but everyone present was taken aback by this gift in return.

"Your Majesty is too polite. The glass paired with this red wine is really the icing on the cake. Since Your Majesty wants to give back a gift, I, Beidi Kingdom, will naturally not be polite. It's just that for this gift, His Highness Prince Beidi wants to ask His Majesty for someone."

"one person?"

Everyone was startled, and then thought: Is it possible that this Beidi wants to make peace with our country?
Even Ling Ao thought so, marriages between countries are very common, Prince Beidi asked for someone himself, naturally he wanted a princess back.

He would be very happy to get married, but he only had two daughters in his life, one died young, and now Xue'er is the only one by his side.

If the Prince Beidi wanted Xue'er, Ling Ao would definitely not give it up.

On the contrary, the ministers below are all happy. Beidi Kingdom is the most powerful country in the mainland. If they can marry Beidi, no number of countries can ask for it. Moreover, Beidi Kingdom personally came to ask for it. What a face-saving thing!

Unfortunately, they will be disappointed.

Ouyang Ming ordered someone to take out a painting, and when the painting was released to the public, the ministers suddenly discovered that it was a portrait of a man.

The little boy in the portrait is handsome and extraordinary, with a smile and a frown full of confidence, that calmness and vigor, it is really pleasing to the eye.

He is indeed a rare handsome young man.

The ministers were stunned: why is it a man?

Xiao Shiheng's eyes widened: Isn't that Su Nuo?
A trace of worry flashed in Wei Feng's eyes: Does Prince Beidi know that Su Nuo is a woman?

Wei Ning simply spit out the wine: This godson is really capable!

Su Wanwan was a little happy: Su Nuo's confidant's troubles were going to Beidi, so it didn't affect him at all.

Emperor Ling Ao squinted his eyes, and dangerous messages kept flashing: Gangte approved Su Nuo as a secret imperial merchant, Tianqi just saw a glimmer of hope in the weak business situation, what should we do?

There are all kinds of beings, but their eyes are firmly fixed on the young man in the portrait.

But Su Nuo and Ling Yingxue in the side hall were trying their best to see the person in the portrait clearly, but suddenly they saw the silence in the hall, everyone's expressions were astonished, and they couldn't help but become more curious about the portrait.

Unfortunately, the portrait was facing away from them, so they couldn't see clearly no matter how they changed positions.

"Brother Nuo, why would Prince Beidi want someone to return the gift? Isn't the compass we prepared wasted?"

Ling Yingxue is pure-minded, so naturally she doesn't think about getting married, so she is just curious and not worried.

"Yeah, I'm curious too. Looking at the eyes of everyone, the people in this portrait are by no means simple."

Su Nuo originally thought that it would be Princess Xue'er who wanted to get married, but seeing everyone's gazes, he immediately decided that it was definitely not Xue'er in the portrait.

The silence between the two of them was finally broken by Emperor Ling Ao.

"General Ming didn't look at the return gift I prepared, and asked for such a person. Do you think that my return gift is not worth as much as a person?"

Ling Ao deliberately ignored the identity of the person in the painting, of course he knew the value of Su Nuo.

With red wine and white wine and a compass, this Beidi country has a really big appetite. If you want one person, it means you need so many skills to go back.

No, how did they know Su Nuo and the value that Su Nuo represented?
Ling Ao became more and more suspicious. Since Beidi publicly wanted Su Nuo, it proved that Su Nuo was not familiar with them. Moreover, it was obviously the first time they saw this red wine and white wine. So what is their purpose for asking Su Nuo? Woolen cloth?
