Chapter 498 Rome Requests Marriage

"The prince of your country is indeed a talented person sent from heaven. Not only does this tofu noodle smell fragrant, but it also makes your whole body feel comfortable after eating it. It feels like your whole body is instantly relieved.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not only made great achievements in military science and technology, but is also a great master in food. All these fantastic ideas are really impressive."

Little Scipio picked up the tofu puffs in his hand and praised them greatly.

"Hahaha, the prince is indeed quite talented in cooking. Even I often go to his prince's residence to dine. Now I am no longer used to the food in the palace."

Ying Zheng laughed loudly.

This is not a lie. Ever since he tasted the delicacies made by Ying Yu in the Prince's Mansion, Ying Zheng has been completely obsessed with it. There are 365 days in a year, and Ying Zheng spends at least more than 100 days in Ying Yu.

Where are you eating and drinking?

The chefs in the imperial kitchen are almost out of work.

Now these cooks have to go to the Prince's Mansion every day, not only to serve Ying Zheng, but also to learn from Ying Yu how to make new dishes and how to use raw materials.

Otherwise, if Ying Yu continues like this, they are really afraid that one day Ying Zheng will be dissatisfied and disband the imperial dining room directly. Then they will be so miserable!

"Your Highness, can I take some of this tofu back to my father? I also want to make a bowl of tofu for him to try."

"In recent years, Rome has suffered from internal and external troubles. My father has been busy with state affairs in recent years, and his appetite has become worse day by day, and his teeth are not as good as before."

"But Sophie didn't understand national politics and couldn't share his worries. She also didn't know medical techniques and treatments, so she couldn't improve his symptoms. She could only watch her father weaken day by day, full of worry but unable to do anything."

"Fortunately, I came to Daqin, and the appearance of this tofu finally gave me hope! Not only is it effortless to eat, but it is also fragrant and delicious, which can greatly stimulate people's appetite. After taking it to my father to eat, he may be interested in it.

His loss of appetite helped."

Sophie looked at Ying Yu, her beautiful big eyes full of sincerity.

Although saying this in such a public scene may seem like showing off in front of Ying Yu, these are indeed Sophie's words from the bottom of her heart.

Since the war with Carthage in the Mediterranean, Scipio had not had a good meal for a day. The army led by Hannibal was very strong, which put a lot of pressure on him.

In addition, in order to help the Qin Dynasty build the railway, people in the Senate also had constant disputes with Scipio. This made Scipio and other Sophies anxious in their eyes, so even this would expose some of their own shortcomings.

, Sophie would not hesitate as long as she could improve her father's health.

"Princess Sophie has such a filial heart, and I naturally don't want to let it down. Besides, this tofu is not a precious thing. If you want it, I can sell the formula to you in Rome at a low price."

It was only such a small request, so naturally Ying Yu would not refuse to agree, but it was not in vain.

Tofu is nothing to Ying Yu, but it is different in the hands of others.

After all, this is something that can create huge profits.

However, Ying Yu did not intend to kill Sophie. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first. A person who never forgets to care about his parents must not be too bad no matter how bad he is.

"Really? Sophie thanks His Highness the Crown Prince for the generous gift."

Sophie's eyebrows arched and she immediately gave a big salute to Ying Yu.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great talents and strategies, and he is also so kind-hearted. If anyone can marry His Highness the Crown Prince, it will be a blessing that has been cultivated for three generations!"

Little Scipio always kept his mission in mind, and while praising Ying Yu, he also did not forget to hint at Sophie.

"Sophie's filial piety is also commendable. Even though she is in the Qin Dynasty, she still cares about her old father's body thousands of miles away. It seems that Scipio has given birth to a good daughter, which is enviable."

Ying Zheng spoke slowly and looked at Sophie with a rather meaningful look in his eyes.

Of course he knew that Rome came here for the purpose of making peace, and in fact he also had some intentions.

Because Ying Zheng had always hoped that Ying Yu could have more concubines, so that he could expand the branches of the Qin royal family and let him enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren.

However, Ying Yu would always refuse on the grounds that the state affairs were heavy and he had no time to think about it. Although Ying Zheng was a little unhappy, he had nothing to do.

After all, this kind of thing still depends on fate. If Ying Yu really has this intention, he will naturally be happy to go with the flow. If it is not available for the time being, Ying Zheng is not willing to force it.

The only thing they did was to create some opportunities for Sophie and Ying Yu.

As for the results?

Just let nature take its course.

All the ministers knew it well, but they all pretended to be deaf and dumb. They drank and mingled with each other on their seats, as if they were already intoxicated by it.

"His Majesty the Emperor is joking. The foreign minister has a proposal that will save His Majesty the Emperor from envying my uncle." ωωw.

Little Xidi followed Ying Zheng's wishes and immediately stood up and said.

"Oh? What's your proposal? Let's hear it?"

Ying Zheng actually understood the meaning of little Scipio's words, but he deliberately pretended not to know and asked.

"To be honest with His Majesty the Emperor, the reason why my uncle sent me as an envoy to Da Qin this time is because he heard about the advancement and strength of Da Qin and has always wanted to visit in person. However, the war on the front line is tight, and various

Government affairs are busy, so we had no choice but to send us here to appreciate the beauty of Da Qin."

"Secondly, Princess Sophie is eighteen years old and has reached the marriageable age. For this reason, my uncle hopes that Rome can get married to Da Qin and plans to marry Princess Sophie to His Highness the Crown Prince of your country!"

"The two countries are getting married, and from now on we can exchange what we need. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will make it happen!"

After the words fell, Scipio the Younger presented the highest courtesy of Rome to Ying Zheng, and other envoys from Rome also knelt down and paid homage to Ying Zheng.

Sophie was stunned for a moment, and then followed little Scipio, her heart full of anxiety.

In fact, everyone in the Roman mission was in a state of confusion at this moment, because they all knew that the two reasons Scipio told the First Emperor, the first was purely polite, and the second was that their mission

The real purpose of visiting Daqin.

Make peace with Da Qin!

If they had no idea about the power of Great Qin before, then after touring the nearby area, they finally knew what the world's most powerful country was.

Rome was completely crushed by the Qin Dynasty, from rulers to people, from farming development to military technology!

This made everyone in the Roman mission, especially Scipio the Younger, increasingly aware of the necessity of peace with the Qin Dynasty.
