Chapter 498 State Banquet 1 (1 more)
After finishing reading the national study of Humujin, I fell into a brief calm at the state banquet.
The quiet moment did not last long. After all, it was a state banquet and it was never refrigerated. Moreover, overall, the other party was indeed aiming at friendly diplomatic relations.
No matter how good the two brothers are, they sometimes compete, let alone between the two countries.
"I understand the meaning of Your Majesty Humus. Dayuan also understands the sincerity of Humus. The envoys and princesses have come from afar. I express my sincere welcome on behalf of the people of Dayuan. Dayuan has prepared fine wine. Please do not be polite to all guests who have come from afar. Please!"
The emperor raised his glass and took the lead in standing up, and the audience stood up and raised his glass to drink together.
Although the other party is here to discuss alliances, but just now we have just met, everything has to be gradually progressive. This kind of thing needs to be done step by step, and when it comes to a natural outcome, it will naturally be concluded.
Now, both sides have said hello.
There has been no exchanges between the two countries, so we must always get to know each other.
However, the fact that Hu Mushroom can come to the door by itself shows that they have a certain understanding of Dayuan Ding. What about Dayuan?
This kind of understanding is by no means an obvious thing, such as a detailed work...
After raising the glasses together, the state banquet officially began. To show Dayuan's enthusiasm, singing and dancing will never be less.
The music of bells and drums is particularly solemn and grand on this occasion. The opening dance is the Heavenly Sacrifice Dance arranged by Dayuan during the grand celebration. Although this Heavenly Sacrifice Dance is a well-known dance, the performers' good or bad dance are two completely different feelings.
"This is the lead dance..."
The Tiantian dance was always dancing with masks, so I couldn't see the dancer clearly. Princess Jing's low cry made Yandong unable to help but take a look.
Princess Jing probably didn't know the dancer in the palace. As Honeysuckle looked at it, she felt a little familiar with her figure. A person appeared in her mind, but she was not sure, "Is it Princess Chenxi?"
"Yes, it's Chenxi... I'm right... I haven't seen her since the Emperor... I've had an accident. Yu Zhaoyi has found Chenxi to dance this heaven-sacrificing dance this time. Chenxi once learned this dance, and it's the best I've seen so far!"
Yandong couldn't help looking at Yu Fei sitting next to the emperor. Now Princess Chenxi is different now, but she is a princess. As long as the emperor still remembers this daughter in her heart, her situation will be much better. Therefore, Yu Fei asked her for help to be mutually beneficial. Not only did he give Chenxi a chance to remind the emperor of her daughter, but he also helped Yu Fei. She had no foundation in the palace. Although she had the emperor's fate, if the people below did not cooperate seriously and had to make some mistakes, it would be difficult for her to make a deal. This was a state banquet.
"Princess Chenxi's Heaven-Sacrifice Dance is so good! Princess, have you been free these two days? Last time I said I would go to see the medicine field..."
Before Honeysuckle could finish her speech, Princess Jing nodded with a novel look on her face and said that she was free at any time.
"Then let's go tomorrow! It's not far anyway."
"good!"
The two chatted, and Princess Chenxi's sacrifice to the sky ended. With a cheer, Princess Chenxi slowly lifted her veil and saluted the emperor.
"I just said that the dance of sacrifice to the sky is good today. It turns out to be my Princess Dawn. No wonder! Good!"
"It turns out to be the princess of Dayuan! I heard that Dayuan's sacrifice to heaven is a great dance for the country. I was lucky to see it today, and it was really pleasing to the eye!"
I heard that it was the princess of Dayuan, and the envoy of Humus was generous and generous in praise.
The emperor was naturally happy and asked someone to prepare a seat for Princess Chenxi.
The other party has a princess to participate, and they have it too!
"Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you for your kind hospitality. Your Majesty in our country asked me to bring gifts to Your Majesty and the Queen of Your Country. Please accept it with a smile!"
Qu Jinchong stood up again. After saying that, he slapped his hands and saw several Hujin people holding things and stepping forward one after another. Some of them were small and just a small box, while others needed to be carried by two people.
However, the envoy's words made the scene awkward, because there was no queen, and it was normal for the envoy to not know it, even if he knew that he could not say anything if he pretended not to know.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and his smile remained unabated.
When he saw Su Wen get up, Yandong and Murong Yusu looked at each other.
Su Wen is already outstanding, and he caught many people's attention when he came out. This young envoy was very handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. I am afraid he had some identity.
Even the emperor couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Su Wen followed other people who presented the gifts and stood in the middle of the hall. His eyes were presumptuous and he looked around the field openly. When he saw the honeysuckle, he skipped it. When he finally fell on Murong Yusu, he actually raised his eyebrows and smiled at the other party. The provocation in his eyes made Murong Yusu's eyebrows sink.
Fortunately, it didn't take too much for a moment. After retracting his gaze, he took out a small wooden box.
When I saw the wooden box in his hand, I couldn't help but widen my eyes. It was the medicine box? The one I took out when I was in Jishitang, the one with the two jade gourds engraved!
What does he mean? His heart was inexplicably raised to his throat.
Honeysuckle unconsciously grabbed her sleeves. At this time, Qu Jin stepped forward from a group of people who were holding objects on the stage, turned around and waved to the first one to the right. The other party walked forward to him with a box in his hand.
I opened the box with my own hands and took out something from it. It turned out to be the ears of grain!
What does this mushroom envoy mean?
A gift from Humulus, a handful of ears of grain?
"Please look at His Majesty the Emperor. This is a kind of grain of my mushroom, glutinous rice! This product can not only be made into various delicacies, but also has a wonderful use. It can be used to make mortar. The glutinous mortar made with it has good durability, high strength and bonding strength, strong toughness and good anti-seepage. Please check it out!"
Qu Jinchong handed the ears of grain in his hand to the person beside him, and then took out a piece of thing from the square box. From a distance, it looked like a big brick. When he looked closely, he found that it was a big brick made of many small bricks.
The bricks were presented to the emperor. The emperor reached out to take them and looked at them carefully. His eyes were obviously lit up. After seeing them, he handed them to the ministers to take a closer look, and even ordered the people from the Ministry of Works to take a closer look.
Although he may not be proficient in fortifications, the quality of things and whether the seams are strong can be seen at a glance in his hands.
The small ones look at the big ones. If the mortar mentioned by the envoy is used for building houses, city walls, palaces and even fortifications such as embankment, it will not only be more solid and durable than the clay mortar used now, and it is not a small matter if you think about it carefully. It is used to repair dams and city walls every year, and the cost of fortifications such as palaces and other constructions every three years is quite large.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, due to its growth characteristics, this species was only suitable for planting in southern Humus. After many varieties were improved and trial planted, it can now be planted in places with abundant water in all parts of our country. This is a box of improved glutinous rice seeds. Please don't dislike His Majesty Dayuan!"
This thing is more valuable than real money and silver, and it also expresses the sincerity of friendly exchanges between Hujin.
If this thing is successfully cultivated in Dayuan, it will be a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and the emperor will not fail to teach it.
"Your Majesty Humus is in mind, and Dayuan will surely remember it. In the future, this glutinous rice will take root in my Dayuan, so I will call it a mushroom rice to be a good testimony between the two countries!"
Judging from this first gift, it is indeed a bit sincere.
But I have to check it out, isn’t there any more to come?
Moreover, when two countries exchange, it is impossible for one country to benefit from the other country to suffer losses. What should Dayuan give back to the right place to match the situation?
